Was this your best performance 93 00:05:17,267 --> 00:05:17,867 Speaker 3: of the season. 94 00:05:18,787 --> 00:05:22,507 Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe I'd say it was for sure from round 95 00:05:22,587 --> 00:05:24,547 Speaker 8: two mainly it was pretty good, but yeah, I thought 96 00:05:24,627 --> 00:05:27,227 Speaker 8: that was definitely our best performance where we put all 97 00:05:27,267 --> 00:05:29,787 Speaker 8: the pieces together, which is very pleasing. 98 00:05:30,227 --> 00:05:33,267 Speaker 3: When you score forty points, obviously you're happy with the attack, 99 00:05:33,387 --> 00:05:36,187 Speaker 3: but are you just as satisfied, if not more, with 100 00:05:36,307 --> 00:05:40,307 Speaker 3: only conceding ten your second fewest points conceded this season. 101 00:05:41,427 --> 00:05:46,667 Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely. I think our attack complimented our defense last 102 00:05:46,747 --> 00:05:50,467 Speaker 8: night and vice versa. I think we had to defend 103 00:05:50,947 --> 00:05:53,067 Speaker 8: our trial on and the end there for twenty two players, 104 00:05:53,067 --> 00:05:54,227 Speaker 8: and then we come up with in the set and 105 00:05:54,307 --> 00:05:58,707 Speaker 8: go the other way. I think we scored tries on 106 00:05:58,827 --> 00:06:00,987 Speaker 8: last place and kicks because our attack was so good 107 00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:04,667 Speaker 8: getting us down the field. So yeah, I think we 108 00:06:04,827 --> 00:06:07,547 Speaker 8: kind of piece, all ours of our game last night, 109 00:06:08,707 --> 00:06:10,747 Speaker 8: which complimented each other really well. 110 00:06:11,147 --> 00:06:13,147 Speaker 3: You mentioned the end of the game there and the 111 00:06:13,627 --> 00:06:16,227 Speaker 3: try that you know that finished things off. You're already 112 00:06:16,307 --> 00:06:19,547 Speaker 3: well ahead by then. The result is beyond doubt. How 113 00:06:19,627 --> 00:06:21,267 Speaker 3: much pride do you take in the fact that you're 114 00:06:21,627 --> 00:06:23,747 Speaker 3: that you guys are still out there tackling and tackling 115 00:06:23,827 --> 00:06:24,547 Speaker 3: and tackling again. 116 00:06:25,227 --> 00:06:28,147 Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's probably what I'm proud of, Snakes. I mean, 117 00:06:28,867 --> 00:06:30,987 Speaker 8: we talk about pride in our trial line. We talk 118 00:06:31,027 --> 00:06:35,707 Speaker 8: about the finish matters. If we were losing by fifty, 119 00:06:37,387 --> 00:06:40,907 Speaker 8: it still matters the end of the game. But to 120 00:06:41,027 --> 00:06:42,947 Speaker 8: be up by that score line and still be that 121 00:06:43,147 --> 00:06:45,787 Speaker 8: dialed in and that's focused on what we wanted to do, 122 00:06:47,227 --> 00:06:49,587 Speaker 8: and that is our standards and our trial in defense, 123 00:06:50,747 --> 00:06:52,787 Speaker 8: I was probably most proud of that last time. 124 00:06:53,307 --> 00:06:59,307 Speaker 3: You're youngsters, you know, Lakahlisima, Jacob Laban, Dimitric Iamonger, Tannastars Smith, 125 00:06:59,707 --> 00:07:03,147 Speaker 3: Sam Healey. These are young guys where he was last night? 126 00:07:03,747 --> 00:07:05,387 Speaker 3: A bit of a coming of age for these guys 127 00:07:05,507 --> 00:07:06,867 Speaker 3: or has that already happened? 128 00:07:07,987 --> 00:07:08,747 Speaker 6: No, I think it was. 129 00:07:08,907 --> 00:07:12,907 Speaker 8: I I think it was there. I think it's been 130 00:07:12,987 --> 00:07:18,427 Speaker 8: working it out. You know, liked Dimetric He's He's minutes 131 00:07:18,467 --> 00:07:21,547 Speaker 8: have been up and down. I think he's been playing 132 00:07:21,627 --> 00:07:25,067 Speaker 8: really good football, but you know, he's I'm sure it's 133 00:07:25,187 --> 00:07:26,987 Speaker 8: very hard to work out how to play an NRL 134 00:07:27,107 --> 00:07:30,427 Speaker 8: when you're that young and have that consistency around his standards. 135 00:07:30,467 --> 00:07:33,307 Speaker 8: And senior boys have done a great job with them. 136 00:07:33,347 --> 00:07:37,627 Speaker 8: They've they've let them express themselves by themselves, and I 137 00:07:37,707 --> 00:07:41,707 Speaker 8: thought you just saw some really confident guys really a 138 00:07:41,747 --> 00:07:45,307 Speaker 8: lot about not trying to replace Darning. Just everyone's just 139 00:07:45,387 --> 00:07:48,067 Speaker 8: got to do their instead of trying to be something different. 140 00:07:48,147 --> 00:07:51,027 Speaker 8: And I was just really proud of the way the 141 00:07:51,107 --> 00:07:55,827 Speaker 8: young guys you developed last night. But I definitely think 142 00:07:55,827 --> 00:07:57,747 Speaker 8: it's off the back of some really strong leadership from 143 00:07:57,787 --> 00:07:59,387 Speaker 8: our experienced boys. 144 00:07:59,587 --> 00:08:01,467 Speaker 3: Yeah, can I just pick up on that James Fisher 145 00:08:01,507 --> 00:08:04,587 Speaker 3: hair else. He doesn't seem to say a lot, even 146 00:08:04,627 --> 00:08:07,667 Speaker 3: in the Plastmates press conference. You know he chooses his 147 00:08:07,747 --> 00:08:10,947 Speaker 3: words carefully. But can you articulate his influence on the 148 00:08:10,987 --> 00:08:12,307 Speaker 3: playing groups since he arrived. 149 00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:18,507 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's hard to do it, but because you have 150 00:08:18,667 --> 00:08:22,227 Speaker 8: to kind of feel it and see it. He kind 151 00:08:22,267 --> 00:08:25,467 Speaker 8: of just walked in the place, Fish and everyone's standards 152 00:08:25,947 --> 00:08:28,987 Speaker 8: changed just by walking in and everyone knew what he 153 00:08:29,147 --> 00:08:31,667 Speaker 8: was about. Everyone had heard stories about the way train 154 00:08:31,787 --> 00:08:35,027 Speaker 8: and his work ethic and what he does after training 155 00:08:35,027 --> 00:08:39,827 Speaker 8: with his extras, and that's just inpetious and I think 156 00:08:39,907 --> 00:08:43,187 Speaker 8: straight away people on the raise of the standards. The 157 00:08:43,307 --> 00:08:46,267 Speaker 8: best thing about Fish made is he's all about the 158 00:08:46,307 --> 00:08:49,747 Speaker 8: boys and the team, and he's all about these young guys. 159 00:08:50,347 --> 00:08:53,987 Speaker 8: And he's so passionate about New Zealand. In his words, 160 00:08:54,027 --> 00:08:56,587 Speaker 8: you get to play for his country every week. It's 161 00:08:56,587 --> 00:08:58,827 Speaker 8: pretty special when you've got a guy that feels so 162 00:08:59,147 --> 00:09:02,507 Speaker 8: passionate about it. And yeah, just rubs off on the 163 00:09:02,547 --> 00:09:03,027 Speaker 8: other boys. 164 00:09:03,227 --> 00:09:05,427 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that, and I try last night from 165 00:09:05,587 --> 00:09:09,227 Speaker 3: Dmitrix little deception and short pass. You know, do you 166 00:09:09,307 --> 00:09:13,147 Speaker 3: take internal satisfaction from your players providing eye catching moments 167 00:09:13,227 --> 00:09:13,427 Speaker 3: like that? 168 00:09:14,427 --> 00:09:15,187 Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely. 169 00:09:16,667 --> 00:09:20,147 Speaker 8: Like our game has been modeled on like hard work 170 00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:25,107 Speaker 8: all year, tight games, just our defense, and we've been 171 00:09:25,147 --> 00:09:28,227 Speaker 8: pretty probably conservative the way we're attacked to be fair, 172 00:09:28,707 --> 00:09:30,747 Speaker 8: but we kind of do the methods to our madness 173 00:09:30,827 --> 00:09:33,747 Speaker 8: and the want to slowly add to it. And like 174 00:09:33,947 --> 00:09:38,507 Speaker 8: Dimitry passing that ball to Fish is just a credit 175 00:09:38,587 --> 00:09:40,467 Speaker 8: to the how hard they work. On the skill level. 176 00:09:40,587 --> 00:09:43,427 Speaker 8: I thought we moved the ball and out of the artists, 177 00:09:43,427 --> 00:09:45,307 Speaker 8: out of our ownment really well at times when we 178 00:09:45,387 --> 00:09:49,587 Speaker 8: saw that the defense is really tight. So this little 179 00:09:49,667 --> 00:09:53,347 Speaker 8: part like that, we're just adding instead of you don't 180 00:09:53,387 --> 00:09:54,987 Speaker 8: want to be here this time of year, trying to 181 00:09:55,067 --> 00:09:57,467 Speaker 8: create a whole new way to play, We're just adding 182 00:09:57,547 --> 00:09:58,427 Speaker 8: to what we're trying to do. 183 00:09:59,347 --> 00:10:01,627 Speaker 3: I understand. The decision to rule weight Eggan out was 184 00:10:01,827 --> 00:10:04,667 Speaker 3: made late yesterday morning. What was it that that kept 185 00:10:04,707 --> 00:10:05,387 Speaker 3: them out last night. 186 00:10:06,347 --> 00:10:09,787 Speaker 8: He's just got he's just got some barren cord issues, 187 00:10:10,027 --> 00:10:13,427 Speaker 8: like wait, poor way for Harley. So mate, he's trying 188 00:10:13,467 --> 00:10:18,707 Speaker 8: to get up and playing. He's so brave and we 189 00:10:18,867 --> 00:10:20,507 Speaker 8: wanted him to play. And then in the end I 190 00:10:20,627 --> 00:10:23,947 Speaker 8: just thought, really, you know, I made the mistake last 191 00:10:23,987 --> 00:10:27,107 Speaker 8: year putting people out there. They were injured, and I 192 00:10:27,227 --> 00:10:28,947 Speaker 8: just didn't want to do it to such a good player. 193 00:10:28,987 --> 00:10:31,707 Speaker 8: And it's nothing long term and nothing to worry about. 194 00:10:31,907 --> 00:10:36,187 Speaker 8: But yeah, we just made a decision where we had 195 00:10:36,227 --> 00:10:40,147 Speaker 8: a really good option stand they're available, so they brought 196 00:10:40,227 --> 00:10:42,427 Speaker 8: him into the team, and I thought he did a 197 00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:46,507 Speaker 8: great job, but you know, just just yeah, we obviously 198 00:10:46,587 --> 00:10:48,027 Speaker 8: always won't wait in that thing. 199 00:10:48,547 --> 00:10:50,587 Speaker 3: Of course. Yeah. But a special night though for Sam Haley, 200 00:10:50,947 --> 00:10:52,307 Speaker 3: wasn't it, you know? And it seemed like the boys 201 00:10:52,347 --> 00:10:52,907 Speaker 3: got around him. 202 00:10:53,867 --> 00:10:54,107 Speaker 9: Mate. 203 00:10:54,147 --> 00:10:57,227 Speaker 8: Honestly, yesterday when we you know, obviously let the boys 204 00:10:57,267 --> 00:10:59,187 Speaker 8: know that Seam was fine. They were so excited for him, 205 00:10:59,387 --> 00:11:02,547 Speaker 8: just wanted for wait. But yeah, and the boys got 206 00:11:02,587 --> 00:11:04,227 Speaker 8: around him, like you said, But I thought he's true, 207 00:11:04,707 --> 00:11:07,187 Speaker 8: he took his opportunity. So happy for him. 208 00:11:07,787 --> 00:11:10,907 Speaker 3: What's this among the most satisfying outings in your entire 209 00:11:11,307 --> 00:11:12,747 Speaker 3: time as Warriors coach? 210 00:11:12,787 --> 00:11:13,147 Speaker 7: Do you think? 211 00:11:15,067 --> 00:11:18,627 Speaker 8: I probably haven't thought of it, aren't really, but now 212 00:11:18,707 --> 00:11:21,987 Speaker 8: that you yeah, we're got a long way to go, 213 00:11:22,467 --> 00:11:24,707 Speaker 8: so it's hard to me to get too excited. I 214 00:11:24,787 --> 00:11:27,107 Speaker 8: think when you have big wins in finals and stuff, 215 00:11:27,507 --> 00:11:29,707 Speaker 8: like when we're beating the Knights at home, that's probably 216 00:11:29,747 --> 00:11:33,467 Speaker 8: the biggest moment. But I mean, no one's going to 217 00:11:33,547 --> 00:11:37,387 Speaker 8: remember this if we don't, if we don't make the eight, 218 00:11:37,547 --> 00:11:39,547 Speaker 8: or we don't go on and when finals footy will 219 00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:44,267 Speaker 8: we won't remember this game, you know. But we're allowed 220 00:11:44,307 --> 00:11:47,187 Speaker 8: to city right now and enjoy it. So I don't 221 00:11:47,187 --> 00:11:49,707 Speaker 8: want to take that away from the boys. But yeah, 222 00:11:49,947 --> 00:11:50,907 Speaker 8: I don't know one way to go. 223 00:11:51,107 --> 00:11:52,507 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I can tell you everybody back here is 224 00:11:52,587 --> 00:11:54,387 Speaker 3: enjoying it. I can tell you that that won't come 225 00:11:54,387 --> 00:11:56,627 Speaker 3: as a surprise. So now now we're going to We're 226 00:11:56,627 --> 00:11:57,827 Speaker 3: going to wait a couple of weeks. I don't we 227 00:11:57,907 --> 00:12:00,347 Speaker 3: the buye? Good time, bad time for the buye. I mean, 228 00:12:00,347 --> 00:12:02,587 Speaker 3: Wade Egan's got another week obviously to get right. But 229 00:12:02,627 --> 00:12:03,827 Speaker 3: would you rather just keep playing? 230 00:12:04,907 --> 00:12:07,187 Speaker 8: And I think it mean when you get when you 231 00:12:07,267 --> 00:12:08,987 Speaker 8: get the buys. I mean they've been on the road. 232 00:12:09,027 --> 00:12:12,227 Speaker 8: I think something like seven out of the last nine 233 00:12:12,267 --> 00:12:14,707 Speaker 8: weeks we've been away. I think someone told me this 234 00:12:14,787 --> 00:12:18,827 Speaker 8: morning we broke the club record. Nice win in Sydney. Yeah, 235 00:12:19,867 --> 00:12:21,627 Speaker 8: made the voice is a break, but it's a be 236 00:12:21,707 --> 00:12:26,387 Speaker 8: home with their families. So yeah, I'm happy for them. 237 00:12:27,507 --> 00:12:28,827 Speaker 8: But yeah, have you've got to have a buy at 238 00:12:28,907 --> 00:12:33,187 Speaker 8: some stage. And yeah, there's no reason why this is 239 00:12:33,267 --> 00:12:33,787 Speaker 8: not a good time. 240 00:12:34,427 --> 00:12:36,747 Speaker 3: Hea a relaxing flight home. We'll we congrats on the 241 00:12:36,747 --> 00:12:39,147 Speaker 3: win last night. Mate. We'll look forward to Penrith in 242 00:12:39,187 --> 00:12:39,787 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. 243 00:12:40,387 --> 00:12:40,987 Speaker 8: I appreciate it. 244 00:12:41,067 --> 00:12:43,547 Speaker 3: Thank you for that, No, thank you, Webbie.

Yeah, terrific, 247 00:12:49,707 --> 00:12:51,987 Speaker 3: your chance to react now, see anything you heard there 248 00:12:52,147 --> 00:12:53,987 Speaker 3: or anything you saw last night? Our eight hundred and 249 00:12:53,987 --> 00:12:56,067 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty. This wasn't just a win. This is 250 00:12:56,107 --> 00:12:59,987 Speaker 3: a hiding right. Forty points most have scored this season, 251 00:13:00,147 --> 00:13:03,507 Speaker 3: twenty eight unanswered second half points, seven tries, five of 252 00:13:03,547 --> 00:13:06,547 Speaker 3: those in the second half, and just ten points can Heed, 253 00:13:06,747 --> 00:13:10,707 Speaker 3: the second fewest they have conceded in a game this season. 254 00:13:11,507 --> 00:13:14,587 Speaker 3: No Mitch Barnett, no Weight Egan, no rock o'berry, no problem. 255 00:13:15,627 --> 00:13:18,027 Speaker 3: The next man up mentality at this club is there 256 00:13:18,147 --> 00:13:22,187 Speaker 3: for everybody to see. And the younger players in this 257 00:13:22,307 --> 00:13:27,347 Speaker 3: team are impressing with every passing week. Lekahalosima is nineteen, 258 00:13:27,467 --> 00:13:30,747 Speaker 3: Jacob Laban's twenty one, Dimitric Vaimonga is twenty one, so 259 00:13:30,947 --> 00:13:34,307 Speaker 3: is Tanner Stours Smith, Sam Healy his first art last night, 260 00:13:34,387 --> 00:13:37,307 Speaker 3: only twenty two. And then you find those who have 261 00:13:37,387 --> 00:13:41,227 Speaker 3: been around four a little bit longer. Charms Nicol Klukstar 262 00:13:41,347 --> 00:13:44,347 Speaker 3: at the back. What a season he is having. The 263 00:13:44,427 --> 00:13:47,307 Speaker 3: game management from Chanelle Harris, Ta Vita and Luke metcalf 264 00:13:47,427 --> 00:13:51,427 Speaker 3: right on point. They are growing into a very impressive 265 00:13:51,987 --> 00:13:56,867 Speaker 3: halves Combo James Fisher, Harris exerts a manner over the 266 00:13:57,027 --> 00:13:59,467 Speaker 3: side that is so clear and so obvious. He might 267 00:13:59,547 --> 00:14:02,827 Speaker 3: not say much, but his words clearly have power far 268 00:14:02,947 --> 00:14:07,907 Speaker 3: beyond their basic meaning. So ten wins now in twenty 269 00:14:07,947 --> 00:14:11,667 Speaker 3: twenty five, that's more than the entire twenty four game 270 00:14:11,947 --> 00:14:15,107 Speaker 3: season of twenty twenty four. Five straight wins in New 271 00:14:15,147 --> 00:14:18,027 Speaker 3: South Wales, the first time that's happened since the Warriors 272 00:14:18,187 --> 00:14:21,427 Speaker 3: inaugural season level on points at the top of the 273 00:14:21,467 --> 00:14:25,507 Speaker 3: Bulldogs well entrenched inside the top four. So now do 274 00:14:25,667 --> 00:14:29,347 Speaker 3: you believe them? Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 275 00:14:29,467 --> 00:14:31,627 Speaker 3: is our number, ninety two ninety two. If you would 276 00:14:31,627 --> 00:14:36,467 Speaker 3: prefer to correspond via text, let's talk some Warriors. What 277 00:14:36,587 --> 00:14:37,627 Speaker 3: did you think, Lyle. 278 00:14:39,307 --> 00:14:42,307 Speaker 10: Oh, Look the number of close wins they've had and 279 00:14:42,467 --> 00:14:44,907 Speaker 10: even the close losses they've had this year. I think 280 00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:50,267 Speaker 10: there's bred mental fortitude that's required to reach the highest 281 00:14:50,427 --> 00:14:54,107 Speaker 10: cinnacle at this level. Having said all that, I think 282 00:14:54,187 --> 00:14:55,947 Speaker 10: it was like a made of mine that's connected to 283 00:14:56,027 --> 00:14:58,027 Speaker 10: the team said they need to come out, put a 284 00:14:58,107 --> 00:15:01,427 Speaker 10: team to bed and make a statement. While they put 285 00:15:01,507 --> 00:15:06,547 Speaker 10: Cronella to bed, locked the door in boltiple windows. I 286 00:15:06,747 --> 00:15:09,787 Speaker 10: just hope they've got the what all these young fellows 287 00:15:10,067 --> 00:15:13,027 Speaker 10: under good long contracts because of these new teams coming 288 00:15:13,067 --> 00:15:15,867 Speaker 10: into the competition, they're going to be looking very hard 289 00:15:15,907 --> 00:15:20,107 Speaker 10: at Give me an example, our press up here in Queensland, 290 00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:24,147 Speaker 10: it's best to be described as put it politely, gratifying 291 00:15:24,227 --> 00:15:28,707 Speaker 10: themselves over beating the Titans the seventeenth place side. But 292 00:15:28,867 --> 00:15:31,467 Speaker 10: in fairness and the press up here they're certainly growing 293 00:15:31,627 --> 00:15:33,747 Speaker 10: smoke up at the rear end of the Warriors as 294 00:15:33,827 --> 00:15:37,747 Speaker 10: well then Australian press, and they're saying they're no longer 295 00:15:37,827 --> 00:15:41,667 Speaker 10: the meal deal, they're the real deal and their every chance. 296 00:15:41,787 --> 00:15:44,507 Speaker 10: Look to win a competition, you're going to have a 297 00:15:44,547 --> 00:15:47,427 Speaker 10: lot of things aligned and the fair bit of luck. 298 00:15:47,667 --> 00:15:50,947 Speaker 10: But at the moment it's moving in that direction. Yes, 299 00:15:51,067 --> 00:15:55,467 Speaker 10: they're definitely capable of doing it, but one step at 300 00:15:55,507 --> 00:15:58,627 Speaker 10: a time they need to carry on. I think webs 301 00:15:58,667 --> 00:16:01,147 Speaker 10: have put it brilliantly. He says, there are changing things. 302 00:16:01,227 --> 00:16:03,747 Speaker 10: We just build on what we do because you want 303 00:16:03,787 --> 00:16:07,587 Speaker 10: to reach a peak at a certain time. What any 304 00:16:07,627 --> 00:16:10,747 Speaker 10: sports fan has as a right is that their team 305 00:16:10,867 --> 00:16:14,427 Speaker 10: goes out each week and puts on a performance. They 306 00:16:14,467 --> 00:16:17,907 Speaker 10: can be proud about They're more than doing that at 307 00:16:17,947 --> 00:16:18,307 Speaker 10: the moment. 308 00:16:19,147 --> 00:16:22,347 Speaker 3: Absolutely they are. That's I mean, that's so right. And 309 00:16:22,627 --> 00:16:24,867 Speaker 3: I picked up on we be saying that as well. 310 00:16:24,867 --> 00:16:27,187 Speaker 3: I mean, so much of what he says you find 311 00:16:27,227 --> 00:16:29,227 Speaker 3: yourself nodding your head to He's such an impressive guy. 312 00:16:29,307 --> 00:16:30,747 Speaker 3: But you're lad he said. Is no point us trying 313 00:16:30,747 --> 00:16:33,227 Speaker 3: to do anything differently. We've got our base, which is 314 00:16:33,627 --> 00:16:35,947 Speaker 3: hard work. We work for one another. We you know, 315 00:16:36,107 --> 00:16:39,827 Speaker 3: we defend well and we look to take our opportunities 316 00:16:39,867 --> 00:16:42,347 Speaker 3: on attack. But there's no point us doing anything you know, 317 00:16:43,587 --> 00:16:45,787 Speaker 3: markedly different. We just build on what we have and 318 00:16:45,867 --> 00:16:47,867 Speaker 3: the base is there to see man, ten ones out 319 00:16:47,907 --> 00:16:50,187 Speaker 3: of thirteen. It's as good as it's been. I think I. 320 00:16:52,427 --> 00:16:55,467 Speaker 10: Really thought that they would struggle about Barnett, to be honest, 321 00:16:55,507 --> 00:17:00,547 Speaker 10: and that's just my opinion. But if anything, well they improved. 322 00:17:02,027 --> 00:17:04,347 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a great performance. Long thanks for kicking 323 00:17:04,387 --> 00:17:06,747 Speaker 3: us off, mate, Always love chatting to you. Oh eight 324 00:17:06,867 --> 00:17:11,187 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty.

You know, even if you look at 334 00:17:38,307 --> 00:17:42,227 Speaker 11: the depth that we have, you know, if you look 335 00:17:42,267 --> 00:17:46,507 Speaker 11: at players that were, you know, under pressure, like Dallen, 336 00:17:47,107 --> 00:17:50,867 Speaker 11: I thought he had a good game. You know, our attack, 337 00:17:51,027 --> 00:17:53,987 Speaker 11: you know last week our Attech was was was good 338 00:17:54,507 --> 00:17:57,627 Speaker 11: and last night it was it was even better. And 339 00:17:57,747 --> 00:18:02,907 Speaker 11: if it keeps improving our attack and Metcalfs just he's 340 00:18:02,987 --> 00:18:05,747 Speaker 11: just getting better and better. You know, he's there, he's 341 00:18:05,827 --> 00:18:09,507 Speaker 11: unlocking you know, our back line better for our attack 342 00:18:09,627 --> 00:18:12,867 Speaker 11: and the options that he's he's taking a fantastic and 343 00:18:14,227 --> 00:18:16,467 Speaker 11: the combination he's got with th h T is just 344 00:18:16,547 --> 00:18:19,787 Speaker 11: getting better and better. So I'm very very happy this morning. 345 00:18:20,467 --> 00:18:23,227 Speaker 11: The book he's had the Sharks, as you know, long favorites. 346 00:18:23,307 --> 00:18:26,867 Speaker 11: Last night sold out Shark Park and the Warriors just 347 00:18:27,147 --> 00:18:29,147 Speaker 11: went there and just gave it to the mate. It 348 00:18:29,267 --> 00:18:29,827 Speaker 11: was fantastic. 349 00:18:30,507 --> 00:18:32,867 Speaker 3: Did you did I'm not you you would have picked 350 00:18:32,947 --> 00:18:34,747 Speaker 3: up on this. I'm sure did Chanelle Harris dev to 351 00:18:34,867 --> 00:18:37,187 Speaker 3: do more kicking last night than he normally does on the. 352 00:18:37,227 --> 00:18:41,907 Speaker 11: Sixth, Yeah he did. He did a good thing about 353 00:18:41,907 --> 00:18:45,387 Speaker 11: that half comparing is that he's a left foot kicker 354 00:18:45,547 --> 00:18:48,547 Speaker 11: and MICA's the right foot kicker. So it's a good, 355 00:18:49,467 --> 00:18:51,987 Speaker 11: a good variation to throw at defense, you know, and 356 00:18:52,147 --> 00:18:54,867 Speaker 11: it's and it's working really well. So Chanel's just getting 357 00:18:54,907 --> 00:18:58,987 Speaker 11: better and better and yeah, it's really pleasing. You know, 358 00:18:59,067 --> 00:19:00,707 Speaker 11: we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves, 359 00:19:00,747 --> 00:19:03,267 Speaker 11: but absolutely, the Warriors this year are the real deal. 360 00:19:03,307 --> 00:19:05,227 Speaker 11: Here's no doubt about it. And when you look at 361 00:19:05,267 --> 00:19:07,867 Speaker 11: the New South Wales Cup team yesterday who beat the 362 00:19:08,227 --> 00:19:11,787 Speaker 11: Newtown Jets, you know some fastic, fantastic players coming through 363 00:19:11,947 --> 00:19:15,307 Speaker 11: in depth there at the club. It's just a really 364 00:19:15,347 --> 00:19:17,707 Speaker 11: good time. I mean, the Warriors have a really happy team. 365 00:19:18,067 --> 00:19:20,787 Speaker 11: You're loving playing with each other and that's similar to 366 00:19:20,827 --> 00:19:24,107 Speaker 11: what the Bulldogs have at the moment. So long mate, 367 00:19:24,187 --> 00:19:25,787 Speaker 11: continue mate, Yep. 368 00:19:25,627 --> 00:19:27,307 Speaker 3: There's something going on there. So we'll see you at 369 00:19:27,867 --> 00:19:29,787 Speaker 3: at go media in a couple of weeks for the Panthers, 370 00:19:29,827 --> 00:19:32,267 Speaker 3: will we Yeah, I'll be there. 371 00:19:32,627 --> 00:19:35,427 Speaker 11: I'll be there made of I'm a proud member and 372 00:19:36,107 --> 00:19:40,067 Speaker 11: no doubt it'll be sold out shortly. But yeah, I 373 00:19:40,147 --> 00:19:42,307 Speaker 11: mean it's going to be good. Look like where he said. 374 00:19:42,587 --> 00:19:44,627 Speaker 11: You know, the guys have been on the road for 375 00:19:44,747 --> 00:19:46,987 Speaker 11: how many weeks now and away from their families, so 376 00:19:47,387 --> 00:19:49,307 Speaker 11: now they get to rest up and they get to 377 00:19:49,387 --> 00:19:52,787 Speaker 11: play at home, back at home where hopefully we'll be 378 00:19:52,827 --> 00:19:54,427 Speaker 11: singing that team song at the end of the end 379 00:19:54,467 --> 00:19:54,827 Speaker 11: of the night. 380 00:19:54,907 --> 00:19:55,107 Speaker 9: Mate. 381 00:19:55,827 --> 00:19:57,987 Speaker 3: Good on you, Paul. Always love your calls. Mate, Thanks 382 00:19:58,027 --> 00:20:00,947 Speaker 3: for taking the time. Oh eight hundred and eighty Frank 383 00:20:01,027 --> 00:20:02,627 Speaker 3: with you after the break. There's a spear line there. 384 00:20:02,667 --> 00:20:06,507 Speaker 3: If we want to talk Warriors. You know, I think 385 00:20:06,587 --> 00:20:08,427 Speaker 3: Paul nailed it. They are the real deal. I don't 386 00:20:08,427 --> 00:20:10,867 Speaker 3: think we'd have to debate that anymore. I don't think 387 00:20:10,867 --> 00:20:12,107 Speaker 3: we have to say, hey, actually, do we have to 388 00:20:12,147 --> 00:20:13,467 Speaker 3: wait a bit longer to see if they are the 389 00:20:13,507 --> 00:20:15,667 Speaker 3: real deal? They are entrenched in the top four. This 390 00:20:15,827 --> 00:20:18,147 Speaker 3: is a top four team. It's just a matter of 391 00:20:18,227 --> 00:20:21,467 Speaker 3: what their ceiling might be. And the most impressive thing 392 00:20:21,587 --> 00:20:25,147 Speaker 3: for me anyway, has been how this next man up 393 00:20:25,227 --> 00:20:29,427 Speaker 3: mentality has manifested itself. It got to remember there were 394 00:20:29,707 --> 00:20:32,387 Speaker 3: you know, there were players missing for large parts of 395 00:20:32,467 --> 00:20:34,987 Speaker 3: the early part of the season. We didn't see Dellan 396 00:20:35,387 --> 00:20:39,227 Speaker 3: y Tenisalisniak and talking about round nine or ten. Roger 397 00:20:39,307 --> 00:20:42,067 Speaker 3: Tui Vasischek was out for a while, so was James 398 00:20:42,107 --> 00:20:45,667 Speaker 3: Fisher Harris. Now Mitch Barnett's gone, but you know, next 399 00:20:45,787 --> 00:20:49,107 Speaker 3: man up, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten, eight years and 400 00:20:49,387 --> 00:20:51,227 Speaker 3: let's talk to Warriors back after this on Newstalks. 401 00:20:51,307 --> 00:20:55,147 Speaker 1: EDB the Voice of Sport on your home of Sport 402 00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:59,427 Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason Tyme and GJ. Gunn Homes New 403 00:20:59,547 --> 00:21:01,747 Speaker 1: Zealand's most trusted home builder News Talks. 404 00:21:01,747 --> 00:21:04,787 Speaker 3: Hebb coming up twenty nine to one, talking Warriors eight 405 00:21:04,867 --> 00:21:08,627 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighteen. He has that flag looking Frank. 406 00:21:09,387 --> 00:21:13,827 Speaker 12: It's flying very wide and high. Jason, I will tell 407 00:21:13,867 --> 00:21:15,947 Speaker 12: you the flag is not a big one. It's only 408 00:21:15,987 --> 00:21:19,747 Speaker 12: one of those little handheld jobs. But never less. Anyway, 409 00:21:20,187 --> 00:21:24,507 Speaker 12: congratulations on your award the other night. You certainly deserve it. 410 00:21:26,027 --> 00:21:28,907 Speaker 12: Those two callers before me just about said it all. 411 00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:33,827 Speaker 12: But I will say my piece. There's always been something 412 00:21:34,067 --> 00:21:37,627 Speaker 12: kind of missing over the last you know, year or two. 413 00:21:37,867 --> 00:21:43,307 Speaker 12: In the first month or so, this and that piece 414 00:21:43,827 --> 00:21:47,387 Speaker 12: I saw it fell into place last night and the 415 00:21:47,467 --> 00:21:51,667 Speaker 12: piece was family. They're playing as a thirteen unit family, 416 00:21:52,347 --> 00:21:56,547 Speaker 12: with the youngsters stepping up and contributing with great passion 417 00:21:56,667 --> 00:21:58,867 Speaker 12: and fire in their belly. They want to stay in 418 00:21:58,987 --> 00:22:04,587 Speaker 12: there in those with like I'm talking about Healey Laban 419 00:22:05,507 --> 00:22:08,467 Speaker 12: van Olga. What was his name is Hala Sema? Well, wow, 420 00:22:08,587 --> 00:22:12,507 Speaker 12: what a player is Martin? I can't think of any others. 421 00:22:12,547 --> 00:22:15,427 Speaker 12: And then of course we've got Zelzanak and Klockstack and 422 00:22:15,627 --> 00:22:19,827 Speaker 12: James Fisher, Harrison Roger to a Marcus Cheft. I mean, god, 423 00:22:19,907 --> 00:22:24,787 Speaker 12: what a bloody team. Sorry, difficult to name a man 424 00:22:24,867 --> 00:22:27,027 Speaker 12: of the match, but my man of the match would 425 00:22:27,147 --> 00:22:31,747 Speaker 12: be Luke Metcalf. His kicking is a lot more improved. 426 00:22:31,827 --> 00:22:35,987 Speaker 12: His conversion kicking is kicking well, but getting into the 427 00:22:36,067 --> 00:22:38,947 Speaker 12: red zone. Those kicks he puts up, the height is right, 428 00:22:39,067 --> 00:22:41,147 Speaker 12: the angle is right, and I think there were three 429 00:22:41,307 --> 00:22:45,107 Speaker 12: tries that were scored by them. So although the others 430 00:22:45,147 --> 00:22:48,827 Speaker 12: were contributed brilliantly, I can't, I can't you know every 431 00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:51,667 Speaker 12: one of them, but I just feel that Luke he's 432 00:22:52,187 --> 00:22:55,827 Speaker 12: the marshal of that back line and he's just well, 433 00:22:57,027 --> 00:23:01,107 Speaker 12: he's brilliant anyway, we are the real dealers, they say, 434 00:23:01,227 --> 00:23:06,707 Speaker 12: but mustn't go to our heads with the load. The 435 00:23:08,307 --> 00:23:10,467 Speaker 12: road to the final is possibly going to be a 436 00:23:10,547 --> 00:23:13,667 Speaker 12: little easier, but hey, there's a fair bit of work 437 00:23:13,787 --> 00:23:17,987 Speaker 12: to do. And you know, I hope they all celebrate 438 00:23:18,307 --> 00:23:21,347 Speaker 12: this wonderful victory. I've never seen them play so well 439 00:23:21,427 --> 00:23:25,307 Speaker 12: in that second half. Got back to work and then 440 00:23:26,147 --> 00:23:28,547 Speaker 12: go to go Medium Stadium in front of their home 441 00:23:28,627 --> 00:23:32,587 Speaker 12: crowd and we'll just congratulate them, and I'm just so 442 00:23:33,427 --> 00:23:33,947 Speaker 12: so happy. 443 00:23:34,587 --> 00:23:37,307 Speaker 3: Yeah, I am too, Frank, I'm ready. Yeah, you sound 444 00:23:37,387 --> 00:23:38,987 Speaker 3: like a you talk about a family. You sound like 445 00:23:39,027 --> 00:23:41,987 Speaker 3: a proud dad of these guys as you say their names. 446 00:23:42,067 --> 00:23:44,187 Speaker 3: I can I can feel the pride in your voice. 447 00:23:44,227 --> 00:23:46,187 Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't know who the official man of 448 00:23:46,227 --> 00:23:49,667 Speaker 3: the match was last night. I didn't do they even 449 00:23:49,667 --> 00:23:52,187 Speaker 3: announce that. I don't know, but I think there are 450 00:23:52,187 --> 00:23:56,307 Speaker 3: a number of blokes who could possibly have have picked 451 00:23:56,347 --> 00:23:59,267 Speaker 3: it up. I don't think it actually matters to them, 452 00:23:59,347 --> 00:24:02,107 Speaker 3: does it who the official man of the match is. 453 00:24:02,667 --> 00:24:04,307 Speaker 3: I know they have an internal one, don't they. That 454 00:24:04,427 --> 00:24:07,507 Speaker 3: probably means a lot more when you're voted by your 455 00:24:07,747 --> 00:24:11,747 Speaker 3: your fellow fellow teammates, as the as the player of 456 00:24:11,827 --> 00:24:14,067 Speaker 3: the As the player of the game, I thought Chance 457 00:24:14,147 --> 00:24:19,107 Speaker 3: Nicol Klukster had an absolutely superb game. You know, there 458 00:24:19,147 --> 00:24:22,867 Speaker 3: were suggestions perhaps that he wasn't the right guy to 459 00:24:22,947 --> 00:24:25,667 Speaker 3: play full back, maybe Roger should move back there, or 460 00:24:25,707 --> 00:24:29,107 Speaker 3: maybe Taine to Alpicki might be your man. But man, 461 00:24:29,187 --> 00:24:32,787 Speaker 3: he has been just terrific in that number one jumper. 462 00:24:33,787 --> 00:24:35,547 Speaker 3: Thanks for you call, Frank. I appreciate it very much. 463 00:24:35,667 --> 00:24:38,267 Speaker 3: Hey Craig, Hey. 464 00:24:38,147 --> 00:24:42,267 Speaker 13: Mate, Hey, yeah, look, I'm loving it absolutely every minute 465 00:24:42,307 --> 00:24:44,067 Speaker 13: of it. But I've got a couple of concerns, and 466 00:24:44,147 --> 00:24:47,587 Speaker 13: I think that as we get on to the end 467 00:24:47,627 --> 00:24:51,547 Speaker 13: of the season, and you know, to be fair, we've 468 00:24:51,667 --> 00:24:53,947 Speaker 13: paid the Sharks, but we haven't paid the other guys 469 00:24:53,987 --> 00:24:56,307 Speaker 13: in the in the top four or five yet. My 470 00:24:56,747 --> 00:24:59,627 Speaker 13: My real concern is Daran and the right edge defense 471 00:25:00,227 --> 00:25:03,307 Speaker 13: and both the tries last night from the Sharks. If 472 00:25:03,347 --> 00:25:05,267 Speaker 13: you if you go back and look, he looks a 473 00:25:05,347 --> 00:25:08,067 Speaker 13: little bit confused, and I think he's come back and 474 00:25:08,187 --> 00:25:11,387 Speaker 13: he's really hasn't found the form that he's had not 475 00:25:11,467 --> 00:25:13,587 Speaker 13: so much last year, but obviously in twenty twenty three. 476 00:25:13,987 --> 00:25:17,147 Speaker 13: And I think because Charms is doing so well and 477 00:25:17,307 --> 00:25:20,347 Speaker 13: Roger's there and also, you know, a couple of the 478 00:25:20,387 --> 00:25:24,947 Speaker 13: other back three are doing well. It's kind of it's 479 00:25:25,027 --> 00:25:27,627 Speaker 13: hiding that a little bit that I think Dylan's really 480 00:25:27,667 --> 00:25:31,307 Speaker 13: struggling on defense, and that worries me when we start 481 00:25:31,387 --> 00:25:34,947 Speaker 13: coming up against some of the flashier teams with those 482 00:25:35,187 --> 00:25:38,507 Speaker 13: massive and very fast and clever outside backs. 483 00:25:38,987 --> 00:25:40,867 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point you make, and I'm sure 484 00:25:40,947 --> 00:25:44,907 Speaker 3: you know the win last night will certainly not stop 485 00:25:44,987 --> 00:25:48,627 Speaker 3: them from taking lessons. And I think you're right, Craig. 486 00:25:48,707 --> 00:25:52,627 Speaker 3: I think you're right. His edge does seem to perhaps 487 00:25:52,707 --> 00:25:57,307 Speaker 3: be slightly more fragile. You know, It's funny, isn't it. 488 00:25:57,307 --> 00:25:59,667 Speaker 3: He's been around for so long and we know Dlan, 489 00:25:59,947 --> 00:26:03,507 Speaker 3: you know, as an absolutely magnificent try scorer. But you're right, 490 00:26:03,507 --> 00:26:05,067 Speaker 3: you've got to play well on both sides of the ball. 491 00:26:05,107 --> 00:26:07,907 Speaker 3: And yes they have. You know, they haven't played the 492 00:26:07,907 --> 00:26:10,587 Speaker 3: Bulldogs yet. We wait for that game obviously, but they Yes, 493 00:26:10,627 --> 00:26:13,067 Speaker 3: they've lost to the Storm and the Raiders, the other 494 00:26:13,427 --> 00:26:15,627 Speaker 3: occupants in the top four at the moment, but everybody 495 00:26:15,747 --> 00:26:19,347 Speaker 3: below that, particularly Sharks, Cowboys, Dolphins, Broncos who make it 496 00:26:19,427 --> 00:26:21,947 Speaker 3: the top eight at the moment, they've beaten all of them. 497 00:26:22,227 --> 00:26:23,987 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think they're entreats in the top four, 498 00:26:24,027 --> 00:26:26,387 Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean they can't take some you know, 499 00:26:26,747 --> 00:26:29,587 Speaker 3: some improvement. And I think you've you've nailed one area. 500 00:26:31,067 --> 00:26:34,627 Speaker 13: Yeah, I think the like the Ford's man amazing and 501 00:26:34,707 --> 00:26:37,547 Speaker 13: then the inside backs or good. But I was at 502 00:26:37,587 --> 00:26:41,627 Speaker 13: the camera game and the wet and apart from Charns, 503 00:26:41,747 --> 00:26:45,227 Speaker 13: the outside backs were completely absent, absent and it just 504 00:26:45,347 --> 00:26:46,747 Speaker 13: felt like that. 505 00:26:47,067 --> 00:26:48,787 Speaker 7: And of course Wedby's aware of it. 506 00:26:48,867 --> 00:26:51,067 Speaker 13: And I guess that if we can get that sorted, 507 00:26:51,267 --> 00:26:54,467 Speaker 13: especially on the right side, word, boy, it's going to 508 00:26:54,507 --> 00:26:56,187 Speaker 13: be an amazing end to the season. 509 00:26:56,427 --> 00:27:00,667 Speaker 3: Or yeah, absolutely, I think And yeah, and I got 510 00:27:00,667 --> 00:27:02,147 Speaker 3: on your Craig, good to chat to you as always, mate. 511 00:27:02,347 --> 00:27:04,587 Speaker 3: I think you know, we don't have to say are 512 00:27:04,667 --> 00:27:06,427 Speaker 3: they you know, are they the real dealing anymore? Well, 513 00:27:06,507 --> 00:27:08,747 Speaker 3: this is a top eight side, you know, I think 514 00:27:08,787 --> 00:27:11,227 Speaker 3: we can we can write that down and pretty bold letters. 515 00:27:11,307 --> 00:27:13,827 Speaker 3: Now it's a top four side for me, But is 516 00:27:13,907 --> 00:27:18,707 Speaker 3: it is it a top two side? They haven't played 517 00:27:18,707 --> 00:27:22,147 Speaker 3: the Bulldogs yet, they've lost to the Storm and the Raiders, 518 00:27:22,187 --> 00:27:25,467 Speaker 3: so you say, okay, well, you know, quality opposition like 519 00:27:25,507 --> 00:27:28,387 Speaker 3: those two teams are obviously going to be there. I 520 00:27:28,427 --> 00:27:30,027 Speaker 3: think the top four is it sits at the moment, 521 00:27:30,347 --> 00:27:32,867 Speaker 3: may well be the top four that that could well 522 00:27:32,947 --> 00:27:35,547 Speaker 3: be in some order. How they finished, they've got a 523 00:27:35,547 --> 00:27:37,307 Speaker 3: bit of a jump on the rest now Bulldogs, Warriors, 524 00:27:37,587 --> 00:27:39,907 Speaker 3: storm Raiders. That feels like the top four, doesn't It 525 00:27:40,427 --> 00:27:41,467 Speaker 3: feels like the top four. 526 00:27:42,267 --> 00:27:42,627 Speaker 9: How are you? 527 00:27:42,707 --> 00:27:42,947 Speaker 3: Greg? 528 00:27:44,267 --> 00:27:45,307 Speaker 14: Thanks? Pani yourself? 529 00:27:45,907 --> 00:27:46,227 Speaker 2: Very good? 530 00:27:46,467 --> 00:27:47,827 Speaker 3: Very good mate, Yes, very good today. 531 00:27:49,547 --> 00:27:53,147 Speaker 14: Got to use those three words again, go on it, composer. 532 00:27:54,547 --> 00:27:56,747 Speaker 3: The depth definitely, I think the next man up. I 533 00:27:56,827 --> 00:27:59,067 Speaker 3: mean that's the that's the yeah, that's the way of 534 00:27:59,147 --> 00:28:01,627 Speaker 3: describing the next man up mentality. And you look at guys, yeah, 535 00:28:01,707 --> 00:28:05,747 Speaker 3: like I mean Sam Healey last night, and these younger 536 00:28:05,827 --> 00:28:09,187 Speaker 3: kids have again Tennis Dowers Smith another another good performance 537 00:28:09,227 --> 00:28:11,787 Speaker 3: off the interchange last night. The depth is there, man, 538 00:28:12,987 --> 00:28:13,427 Speaker 3: I mean. 539 00:28:13,827 --> 00:28:17,587 Speaker 14: And as you say, it's really showing through now that 540 00:28:17,827 --> 00:28:20,027 Speaker 14: you know we lost a few players at the beginning 541 00:28:20,027 --> 00:28:23,067 Speaker 14: of the season. We now lost Mitch Barnett. There's somebody 542 00:28:23,147 --> 00:28:26,467 Speaker 14: else to step into those boots and play a similar, 543 00:28:26,667 --> 00:28:29,747 Speaker 14: similar role without detracting anything from the rest of the 544 00:28:30,907 --> 00:28:36,347 Speaker 14: playing group. And I mean the defense, I mean any 545 00:28:36,467 --> 00:28:39,067 Speaker 14: team would love to have the defense that we have 546 00:28:39,227 --> 00:28:43,547 Speaker 14: at the moment they got the goal line defense. I mean, 547 00:28:45,067 --> 00:28:46,827 Speaker 14: I can't remember who it was, but there was three 548 00:28:46,947 --> 00:28:50,827 Speaker 14: guys on the right hand the edge that got between 549 00:28:50,907 --> 00:28:54,547 Speaker 14: somebody and the try line. Cranulla are not a small side. 550 00:28:54,627 --> 00:28:57,187 Speaker 14: I mean, there was a guy out there called I 551 00:28:57,347 --> 00:29:00,147 Speaker 14: think was it Aiden for Neua Blake. 552 00:29:07,147 --> 00:29:09,907 Speaker 3: I've actually had a couple of texts asking the same thing. 553 00:29:10,027 --> 00:29:12,507 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, first time the Warriors about to play 554 00:29:12,547 --> 00:29:16,107 Speaker 3: their former their former colleague since he went back across 555 00:29:16,147 --> 00:29:19,267 Speaker 3: the ditch. Yeah, I think we'll chalk that one up 556 00:29:19,307 --> 00:29:19,827 Speaker 3: to the Warriors. 557 00:29:19,867 --> 00:29:24,867 Speaker 14: I think yeah, No, I mean, and the other couple 558 00:29:24,907 --> 00:29:28,547 Speaker 14: of big players that they've got out there, they were 559 00:29:28,627 --> 00:29:33,627 Speaker 14: just nullified. And I like the chance he's playing really well. 560 00:29:34,947 --> 00:29:37,107 Speaker 14: I don't really think we want to get too much 561 00:29:37,147 --> 00:29:42,067 Speaker 14: ahead of ourselves though, because it has happened in other years. 562 00:29:42,987 --> 00:29:49,467 Speaker 14: If we just keep a level head and obviously where 563 00:29:49,547 --> 00:29:52,387 Speaker 14: he's one of the most level headed coaches out there 564 00:29:52,787 --> 00:29:55,147 Speaker 14: and he just needs to instill that with the players, 565 00:29:55,187 --> 00:29:58,787 Speaker 14: as he obviously has. But we're marching in the right direction. 566 00:29:59,587 --> 00:30:01,667 Speaker 3: We are marching in the right Greg. I love that. 567 00:30:01,947 --> 00:30:04,347 Speaker 3: I love that written. I've written that down. We are 568 00:30:04,427 --> 00:30:09,107 Speaker 3: marching in the right direction. Brilliant, We certainly are, and 569 00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:12,467 Speaker 3: it's okay. You're right, they're not going to get carried away. 570 00:30:13,187 --> 00:30:15,987 Speaker 3: They are a professional sports team who will not get 571 00:30:16,067 --> 00:30:18,667 Speaker 3: carried away. They always say, you can't ride the highest 572 00:30:18,667 --> 00:30:20,907 Speaker 3: too high or the lows too low. You've got to 573 00:30:20,987 --> 00:30:24,507 Speaker 3: treat triumph and disaster just the same. And that's the 574 00:30:24,587 --> 00:30:27,067 Speaker 3: secret of any professional sports team, because you can't win 575 00:30:27,107 --> 00:30:29,947 Speaker 3: every week. But we, as fans, we're allowed to get 576 00:30:29,947 --> 00:30:34,227 Speaker 3: carried away. I reckon, why can't we after a forty 577 00:30:34,347 --> 00:30:37,467 Speaker 3: points to ten win over the Sharks, another top five 578 00:30:37,587 --> 00:30:41,387 Speaker 3: or six side on their home patch. I think we 579 00:30:41,547 --> 00:30:46,227 Speaker 3: are allowed to today be excited about that, dream about 580 00:30:46,267 --> 00:30:48,787 Speaker 3: what it might mean in the overall context of the season. 581 00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:52,067 Speaker 3: As fans, we are allowed to ride the roller coaster. 582 00:30:52,187 --> 00:30:54,627 Speaker 3: The players and coaches can't. They got to stay level. 583 00:30:55,667 --> 00:30:55,987 Speaker 6: We can. 584 00:30:56,507 --> 00:31:00,147 Speaker 3: We're allowed to. Good to Chetty you Gregor is always hey, Matt, 585 00:31:02,627 --> 00:31:05,027 Speaker 3: very good, Matt, very good good. 586 00:31:05,187 --> 00:31:05,347 Speaker 9: Yeah. 587 00:31:05,387 --> 00:31:07,867 Speaker 7: I think definitely the right edge defense. 588 00:31:07,987 --> 00:31:09,307 Speaker 15: But I think that will I. 589 00:31:09,347 --> 00:31:11,667 Speaker 7: Mean, we're just going to get rock o'berry fifth. I 590 00:31:11,747 --> 00:31:14,507 Speaker 7: think he'll make massive difference to that side. He's a 591 00:31:14,587 --> 00:31:17,027 Speaker 7: great defender, and I think we do miss him when 592 00:31:17,067 --> 00:31:19,427 Speaker 7: he's not there, I know, but he's not. He's not 593 00:31:19,507 --> 00:31:21,507 Speaker 7: playing many minutes at the moment throughout the year. But 594 00:31:21,827 --> 00:31:23,387 Speaker 7: hopefully that hamstring will come right. 595 00:31:23,467 --> 00:31:24,267 Speaker 14: But it's been. 596 00:31:24,387 --> 00:31:27,587 Speaker 7: My only concern is that we haven't beaten the top 597 00:31:27,667 --> 00:31:31,467 Speaker 7: four side and our goalkicking. That would be my consent. 598 00:31:31,907 --> 00:31:35,467 Speaker 3: Yeah, kicking's interesting, is it with old Lukier? Like he 599 00:31:35,547 --> 00:31:37,387 Speaker 3: does a lot of good things and he actually was 600 00:31:37,507 --> 00:31:40,027 Speaker 3: he was better last night. I think he was better 601 00:31:40,107 --> 00:31:42,387 Speaker 3: last night and just what was he one, two, three, 602 00:31:42,427 --> 00:31:44,667 Speaker 3: four five. He converted five of the seven tries and 603 00:31:44,747 --> 00:31:47,267 Speaker 3: kicked a penalty. So he's getting the hang of it, 604 00:31:47,347 --> 00:31:48,107 Speaker 3: I think, Matt. 605 00:31:49,747 --> 00:31:52,347 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think the ones he's getting are very gettable. 606 00:31:52,787 --> 00:31:59,867 Speaker 7: It's the ones he's I think. Yeah. So I think 607 00:31:59,907 --> 00:32:03,147 Speaker 7: it's the concern is that he keeps He's just off 608 00:32:03,187 --> 00:32:06,107 Speaker 7: and he seems a confidence plan. I think the more 609 00:32:06,667 --> 00:32:08,667 Speaker 7: the more he plays, the better he plays. The viveryal 610 00:32:08,747 --> 00:32:10,827 Speaker 7: goal kick, I think he just he's one of those 611 00:32:10,867 --> 00:32:12,707 Speaker 7: guys that he just gets on a high and you 612 00:32:12,747 --> 00:32:15,307 Speaker 7: can't go wrong once once he's on that in that space. 613 00:32:15,387 --> 00:32:18,987 Speaker 7: But for me, the most exciting player out there is heally. 614 00:32:19,307 --> 00:32:21,867 Speaker 7: I thought he looked like to me, he looked like 615 00:32:21,947 --> 00:32:25,067 Speaker 7: a young Cameron Smith. He just had a beautiful pass 616 00:32:25,427 --> 00:32:28,867 Speaker 7: and just as running and able to spot when he 617 00:32:28,907 --> 00:32:32,187 Speaker 7: should run. He just seems and he seemed really to 618 00:32:32,307 --> 00:32:34,227 Speaker 7: know that position. I know he's only a young guy, 619 00:32:34,347 --> 00:32:36,747 Speaker 7: but I hope they find space for him in the team. 620 00:32:36,787 --> 00:32:39,187 Speaker 7: I think he can be a big part of our future. 621 00:32:39,187 --> 00:32:40,867 Speaker 7: He looked really exciting to me. 622 00:32:41,347 --> 00:32:43,267 Speaker 3: That's a bit rap and but you're I mean, I 623 00:32:43,307 --> 00:32:45,107 Speaker 3: think as you heard where we say we always want 624 00:32:45,147 --> 00:32:47,347 Speaker 3: to have weade Egan there and he's been terrific for 625 00:32:47,827 --> 00:32:51,547 Speaker 3: you know, always gives you a consistent performance. But it's 626 00:32:51,667 --> 00:32:55,187 Speaker 3: so so gratifying to know, isn't it that even when 627 00:32:55,387 --> 00:32:57,147 Speaker 3: a guy is ruled out on game day, a guy 628 00:32:57,267 --> 00:32:59,827 Speaker 3: like Sam Healy can step in straight away, he gets 629 00:32:59,867 --> 00:33:01,987 Speaker 3: support wrapped around him and he comes up with a 630 00:33:02,027 --> 00:33:02,787 Speaker 3: performance like that. 631 00:33:04,187 --> 00:33:06,587 Speaker 7: Well, it's I mean, for the first time I can 632 00:33:06,627 --> 00:33:08,267 Speaker 7: say in a long time, I feel like we've got 633 00:33:08,307 --> 00:33:11,347 Speaker 7: the right coaching team. They're doing something right. And that 634 00:33:11,987 --> 00:33:13,947 Speaker 7: all comes down to the coaches. If you can go 635 00:33:14,067 --> 00:33:16,067 Speaker 7: out there and you can lift players and you can 636 00:33:16,187 --> 00:33:19,907 Speaker 7: make them be better, that's to me, as a team, 637 00:33:20,707 --> 00:33:24,147 Speaker 7: a coaching team, you can build a really solid team 638 00:33:24,187 --> 00:33:26,467 Speaker 7: around and we haven't had that for a long time. 639 00:33:26,587 --> 00:33:28,987 Speaker 7: That you can feel that. So whatever we do by 640 00:33:29,067 --> 00:33:31,907 Speaker 7: the coach first, and everything else hopefully will come because 641 00:33:31,907 --> 00:33:34,987 Speaker 7: he's able to take these young a and een night yeap, sorry, 642 00:33:35,067 --> 00:33:38,107 Speaker 7: nineteen twenty twenty year old and get them probably doing 643 00:33:38,187 --> 00:33:39,347 Speaker 7: things they didn't think they could do. 644 00:33:40,467 --> 00:33:43,147 Speaker 3: Yeah, very well, said Matt very Well said, great observation. 645 00:33:43,947 --> 00:33:45,787 Speaker 3: That's what coaching is, isn't it. You know, we know 646 00:33:45,907 --> 00:33:49,027 Speaker 3: that once a player reaches first grade, they're a decent player. 647 00:33:49,547 --> 00:33:52,147 Speaker 3: They've been good coming up, especially the young kids probably 648 00:33:52,147 --> 00:33:54,267 Speaker 3: they've been the best player in their team ever since 649 00:33:54,307 --> 00:33:56,867 Speaker 3: they started playing. But when they reached first grade, when 650 00:33:56,907 --> 00:34:00,467 Speaker 3: they reach the NRL, that's when you've got to wrap 651 00:34:00,547 --> 00:34:03,627 Speaker 3: around them an environment in which they can flourish. I 652 00:34:03,707 --> 00:34:06,027 Speaker 3: loved it when they flashed onto the coaching box last night, 653 00:34:06,187 --> 00:34:10,387 Speaker 3: just before the end, and Andrew Webster, Stacey Jones, rich 654 00:34:10,427 --> 00:34:13,067 Speaker 3: A Garr and the rest of them up there just smiling, 655 00:34:13,227 --> 00:34:19,067 Speaker 3: not you know, not absolutely euphoric, but just satisfied smiles, 656 00:34:19,107 --> 00:34:22,187 Speaker 3: having a wee joke with one another.

Thanks for holding, David. Good afternoon here, Hi, 665 00:34:49,347 --> 00:34:49,707 Speaker 3: I'm here. 666 00:34:50,507 --> 00:34:53,907 Speaker 16: Excellent night last night. I'm really really enjoyed the Warriors. 667 00:34:53,947 --> 00:34:57,387 Speaker 16: We had a few people over and yeah, we had 668 00:34:57,907 --> 00:35:01,427 Speaker 16: a real ball watching them. I thought they'd played the outstanding. 669 00:35:03,467 --> 00:35:06,267 Speaker 16: They just continue to surprise me, so maybe I'm the 670 00:35:06,427 --> 00:35:09,027 Speaker 16: going to be prized anymore. But so then then there 671 00:35:09,147 --> 00:35:10,987 Speaker 16: was the Blues. Up to that, we just watched the 672 00:35:11,067 --> 00:35:13,107 Speaker 16: tail end of the Blues and saw the Blue snack 673 00:35:13,147 --> 00:35:15,107 Speaker 16: over the line against thee so that was good. And 674 00:35:15,187 --> 00:35:20,227 Speaker 16: then this morning blow me down we had at New York. 675 00:35:20,307 --> 00:35:24,027 Speaker 16: We had the stale GP and Peter Berling. He got 676 00:35:24,067 --> 00:35:28,107 Speaker 16: a second in the first race, eleventh in the second race, 677 00:35:28,107 --> 00:35:29,507 Speaker 16: which was a little bit of a blow up. But 678 00:35:29,587 --> 00:35:32,587 Speaker 16: then he came first in the third race, so overall 679 00:35:32,627 --> 00:35:36,107 Speaker 16: they came. They're leading that series, I think at the moment, 680 00:35:36,507 --> 00:35:39,627 Speaker 16: so tomorrow will be another day. 681 00:35:40,027 --> 00:35:43,947 Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, SALGP caught me out of it, David, 682 00:35:43,947 --> 00:35:45,507 Speaker 3: because I thought they were going to start at seven 683 00:35:45,627 --> 00:35:49,907 Speaker 3: thirty this morning, but from what I understand, there was 684 00:35:49,947 --> 00:35:53,627 Speaker 3: a storm coming, so they actually brought the racing forward. 685 00:35:53,747 --> 00:35:56,867 Speaker 3: So I got up obviously not not late later, but 686 00:35:56,907 --> 00:35:59,107 Speaker 3: I was in time to watch it from seven thirty 687 00:35:59,507 --> 00:36:01,307 Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden it was all over. 688 00:36:01,667 --> 00:36:03,427 Speaker 3: I didn't see anybody. Let to watch it back. 689 00:36:03,787 --> 00:36:07,227 Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, well you can fast forward between, can't you. 690 00:36:07,467 --> 00:36:09,947 Speaker 3: That's all right, it's right, David. No, it's a good night. Well, 691 00:36:09,987 --> 00:36:12,067 Speaker 3: good night for you and the nine with the Warriors 692 00:36:12,107 --> 00:36:15,667 Speaker 3: and Blues both winning. Thanks for you, cool mate. Hello Emma, Hey, 693 00:36:15,747 --> 00:36:17,067 Speaker 3: how's it going? Very good? 694 00:36:18,267 --> 00:36:19,947 Speaker 17: Yeah, great game last night. 695 00:36:20,747 --> 00:36:20,947 Speaker 6: Yeah. 696 00:36:21,027 --> 00:36:24,147 Speaker 17: The whole weekend successful failure sort of hinges on the 697 00:36:24,187 --> 00:36:25,507 Speaker 17: outcome of the Warriors game for me. 698 00:36:25,707 --> 00:36:28,187 Speaker 7: So great weekend, that's good. 699 00:36:28,667 --> 00:36:29,067 Speaker 6: It's good. 700 00:36:29,107 --> 00:36:30,867 Speaker 18: I love it, I guess. 701 00:36:31,307 --> 00:36:31,507 Speaker 12: Yeah. 702 00:36:31,547 --> 00:36:35,747 Speaker 17: The only area of concern for me other than you know. 703 00:36:36,227 --> 00:36:38,387 Speaker 19: Obviously those trickier caicks. 704 00:36:38,187 --> 00:36:41,667 Speaker 17: For Metcalf, which I think will be really really critical 705 00:36:41,947 --> 00:36:49,867 Speaker 17: come finals time is tw Z's defense. He's you know, 706 00:36:50,707 --> 00:36:54,867 Speaker 17: got amazing attacking ability, but that defensive effort, like, we're 707 00:36:54,947 --> 00:36:57,987 Speaker 17: just wide open on that wing. He's dropping in so 708 00:36:58,227 --> 00:37:00,787 Speaker 17: far in that where yeah, we've just got a gaping 709 00:37:00,867 --> 00:37:03,067 Speaker 17: hole on that wing, and I think more clinical teams are. 710 00:37:02,947 --> 00:37:04,027 Speaker 14: Going to capitalize on that. 711 00:37:04,587 --> 00:37:07,227 Speaker 17: And also so there's a lot of work to be 712 00:37:07,307 --> 00:37:08,187 Speaker 17: done on his defense. 713 00:37:08,867 --> 00:37:11,187 Speaker 3: Yeah, how coachable do you perceive that to be, Emma, 714 00:37:11,227 --> 00:37:13,307 Speaker 3: because I mean the I guess you'd say, okay, well 715 00:37:13,347 --> 00:37:15,507 Speaker 3: just don't come in, just stay on your wing. But 716 00:37:15,747 --> 00:37:18,067 Speaker 3: it's clearly not that simple. But how coachable do you 717 00:37:18,147 --> 00:37:22,187 Speaker 3: perceive that to be an improvement in his defensive work? 718 00:37:24,227 --> 00:37:28,187 Speaker 17: It's a really tough one. You know, I would hope 719 00:37:28,227 --> 00:37:30,027 Speaker 17: it would, you know, you wish it was as simple 720 00:37:30,027 --> 00:37:33,067 Speaker 17: as just doing as you're told. And I guess he 721 00:37:33,227 --> 00:37:35,507 Speaker 17: just needs to have a bit more faith in the 722 00:37:35,627 --> 00:37:37,707 Speaker 17: players inside of him that that you know that they've 723 00:37:37,707 --> 00:37:39,427 Speaker 17: got the numbers and they can get there. I mean, 724 00:37:40,507 --> 00:37:43,547 Speaker 17: Charlesti or Clocks, that's defense is just phenomenal at the moment, 725 00:37:44,787 --> 00:37:46,067 Speaker 17: and like others than. 726 00:37:46,027 --> 00:37:49,267 Speaker 19: Send he I think once Rocker varies back that will help, 727 00:37:49,387 --> 00:37:51,027 Speaker 19: but yeah, he definitely needs a bit of a. 728 00:37:51,667 --> 00:37:53,307 Speaker 6: Bit of it on that defense. 729 00:37:53,947 --> 00:37:56,307 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the fact that your weekend hinges on 730 00:37:56,387 --> 00:37:59,627 Speaker 3: sporting results. I think that's tremendous. I love that just 731 00:38:00,427 --> 00:38:04,747 Speaker 3: the worrior is really just Okay, well you're all you're 732 00:38:04,787 --> 00:38:06,147 Speaker 3: all in on the West.

And the way that we got up in 740 00:38:27,947 --> 00:38:29,627 Speaker 17: defense and held them within their. 741 00:38:30,147 --> 00:38:31,987 Speaker 19: Of the first three tackles was just. 742 00:38:34,067 --> 00:38:36,187 Speaker 6: It's totally a different team. Yep. 743 00:38:36,267 --> 00:38:38,427 Speaker 3: I agree. Hey, great to chat to your drive safe, 744 00:38:38,467 --> 00:38:40,547 Speaker 3: Thanks for calling and really appreciate it.

Alan, 746 00:38:44,827 --> 00:38:46,067 Speaker 3: you get the last word today. 747 00:38:47,107 --> 00:38:52,667 Speaker 20: Because yeah, really missing Steve Roach was there on last night. 748 00:38:54,547 --> 00:38:57,907 Speaker 3: Steve Roach, I think I think Brandy was on the 749 00:38:57,987 --> 00:39:01,027 Speaker 3: call last night. Greg Alexander was the expert analyst. I 750 00:39:01,107 --> 00:39:02,227 Speaker 3: think from memory. 751 00:39:02,707 --> 00:39:06,507 Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm really missing that, you know, hands on this 752 00:39:06,867 --> 00:39:11,747 Speaker 20: thing and they're out on the feet, you know, and 753 00:39:12,747 --> 00:39:15,787 Speaker 20: at the end he says, there's a big Warriors pack. 754 00:39:16,947 --> 00:39:20,467 Speaker 20: The other team is kind of just they know to 755 00:39:20,547 --> 00:39:23,187 Speaker 20: wait until there's twenty minutes to go, and then they 756 00:39:23,387 --> 00:39:27,507 Speaker 20: just rolled through the Warriors, you know, not more, not anymore, 757 00:39:28,427 --> 00:39:33,547 Speaker 20: not avenymymore. Our big young geruys just keep on going 758 00:39:33,707 --> 00:39:37,187 Speaker 20: and bowling the enemy over. You know, we get stronger 759 00:39:37,267 --> 00:39:37,827 Speaker 20: as we go on. 760 00:39:38,627 --> 00:39:43,547 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and that Allen in itself is a yeah, 761 00:39:43,867 --> 00:39:47,707 Speaker 3: as a hallmark of this team. The fact that even 762 00:39:47,747 --> 00:39:51,107 Speaker 3: at the end and you know, close games, yes, they've 763 00:39:51,227 --> 00:39:53,147 Speaker 3: closed out the close ones this year. You look at 764 00:39:53,147 --> 00:39:54,907 Speaker 3: the number of games and we've talked about this a 765 00:39:54,947 --> 00:39:56,787 Speaker 3: lot on the show, the number of games that they've 766 00:39:56,827 --> 00:40:00,147 Speaker 3: won by single digit margins, and so that shows an 767 00:40:00,147 --> 00:40:04,347 Speaker 3: ability to close out the tight ones. But after the 768 00:40:04,507 --> 00:40:07,307 Speaker 3: result was well and truly in the last night, they 769 00:40:07,347 --> 00:40:10,427 Speaker 3: are still tackling late into the game, They are still 770 00:40:11,107 --> 00:40:15,547 Speaker 3: putting the effort in. They're still defending their line, you know, 771 00:40:15,867 --> 00:40:18,267 Speaker 3: like you say, they if they led a couple of 772 00:40:18,347 --> 00:40:20,507 Speaker 3: late tries and wouldn't matter, they would have won forty twenty. 773 00:40:20,707 --> 00:40:22,467 Speaker 3: But no, no, there's too much pride in this jersey 774 00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:25,027 Speaker 3: at the moment. They want to defend that line. They 775 00:40:25,067 --> 00:40:29,067 Speaker 3: wanted to go unbreached in the second half, which they did. Appreciate. 776 00:40:29,147 --> 00:40:31,747 Speaker 3: Corl Allen, thanks very much.

Thanks Mike, and Dale says Old 784 00:40:50,027 --> 00:40:51,947 Speaker 3: believe they're the real deal when they start beating the 785 00:40:51,987 --> 00:40:54,427 Speaker 3: other top four teams. Yeah, I think we all will, Dale, 786 00:40:54,667 --> 00:40:56,707 Speaker 3: I think we all will. Haven't played the Bulldogs yet, 787 00:40:56,707 --> 00:40:59,307 Speaker 3: of course, we wait for that game. Maybe we'll get engauged. 788 00:40:59,347 --> 00:41:02,147 Speaker 3: Then bye now for the Warriors before their next home game, 789 00:41:02,227 --> 00:41:05,107 Speaker 3: Go Media Stadium, same day as the Super Rugby Final 790 00:41:05,187 --> 00:41:07,427 Speaker 3: actually five o'clock and then Super Rugby Final to follow. 791 00:41:07,467 --> 00:41:11,107 Speaker 3: Speaking of which, Super Rugby. After one we celebrate the Blues. 792 00:41:12,947 --> 00:41:15,787 Speaker 1: The only place to discuss the biggest sports issues on 793 00:41:16,227 --> 00:41:17,347 Speaker 1: and after field. 794 00:41:17,907 --> 00:41:19,747 Speaker 2: It's all on we James Forward. 795 00:41:19,547 --> 00:41:23,947 Speaker 1: With Jason Vane on your home of sports. 796 00:41:25,667 --> 00:41:27,867 Speaker 3: Hello there, this is Weekend Sport on News Talk, said b, 797 00:41:28,027 --> 00:41:32,747 Speaker 3: thank you for tuning in. The All Whites are minutes 798 00:41:32,787 --> 00:41:35,747 Speaker 3: away from a very significant result. They're playing in a 799 00:41:36,467 --> 00:41:40,387 Speaker 3: tournament in Canada, up against Cote de Voir or the 800 00:41:40,467 --> 00:41:44,827 Speaker 3: Ivory Coast, whichever you prefer, either way you say it. 801 00:41:44,947 --> 00:41:48,867 Speaker 3: They are forty first in the world Cote Devoir and 802 00:41:49,747 --> 00:41:54,347 Speaker 3: we are eighty six. We're ahead one nil into added time, 803 00:41:54,707 --> 00:41:59,307 Speaker 3: Eli just with the goal just before halftime after a 804 00:41:59,627 --> 00:42:04,907 Speaker 3: terrific throwball from Marco Staminich. So the All Whites are 805 00:42:04,987 --> 00:42:08,107 Speaker 3: defending this lead. I'd need to check, but it's been 806 00:42:08,147 --> 00:42:11,547 Speaker 3: a long time since they won a football match against 807 00:42:12,227 --> 00:42:15,707 Speaker 3: such an esteemed opposition as this, So let's hope they 808 00:42:15,707 --> 00:42:18,147 Speaker 3: can close it out over the next couple of minutes 809 00:42:18,187 --> 00:42:23,507 Speaker 3: and chalk up a win. They play Ukraine on Wednesday 810 00:42:23,587 --> 00:42:25,867 Speaker 3: morning as well. Ukraine are twenty fifth in the world, 811 00:42:26,587 --> 00:42:29,347 Speaker 3: so what a feather in the cap this would be 812 00:42:29,387 --> 00:42:32,587 Speaker 3: if they would have beat one of Africa's better sides 813 00:42:34,467 --> 00:42:38,267 Speaker 3: and then go on and perhaps repeat the dose against Ukraine. This, 814 00:42:38,427 --> 00:42:41,707 Speaker 3: of course, a year out from the World Cup next year. 815 00:42:42,787 --> 00:42:45,787 Speaker 3: The All White's already assured of their place. Of course, 816 00:42:45,867 --> 00:42:49,387 Speaker 3: they secured qualification when they beat New Caledonia back in March. 817 00:42:49,707 --> 00:42:52,227 Speaker 3: I think some people thought, okay, call, it's only Oceania. 818 00:42:53,067 --> 00:42:55,787 Speaker 3: What about when we come up against you know, some 819 00:42:56,147 --> 00:42:59,707 Speaker 3: more credentialed opposition. Well, that's exactly what this is. This 820 00:42:59,827 --> 00:43:04,947 Speaker 3: would be the most significant result I think of Darren 821 00:43:04,987 --> 00:43:07,507 Speaker 3: Baizley's tenure as head coach. Anyway, we'll keep an eye up. 822 00:43:08,107 --> 00:43:10,107 Speaker 3: An injury break at the moment, so I thought we 823 00:43:10,227 --> 00:43:11,787 Speaker 3: might be able to sort of stay with it until 824 00:43:11,787 --> 00:43:14,987 Speaker 3: it finished.

So yeah, it's 853 00:44:42,707 --> 00:44:44,907 Speaker 22: funny how things work out, and we knew we just 854 00:44:45,027 --> 00:44:48,627 Speaker 22: need to get into these finals and we were starting 855 00:44:48,667 --> 00:44:51,187 Speaker 22: to build. It was the start of the season was 856 00:44:51,187 --> 00:44:53,707 Speaker 22: an ideal, but that's all on the past now, so 857 00:44:54,507 --> 00:44:55,827 Speaker 22: we're excited talk. 858 00:44:55,787 --> 00:44:59,107 Speaker 3: Us through the final few minutes from your view, you're 859 00:44:59,147 --> 00:45:02,347 Speaker 3: nineteen thirteen down attacking their line, the hooder goes, can 860 00:45:02,427 --> 00:45:03,387 Speaker 3: you pick it up from there? 861 00:45:05,707 --> 00:45:10,267 Speaker 22: Yeah, we looked we looked patient with a confidence, we 862 00:45:10,387 --> 00:45:15,227 Speaker 22: looked physical, So we had the makings of snatching that, 863 00:45:15,347 --> 00:45:17,787 Speaker 22: you know, and and we've lost a few games this 864 00:45:17,947 --> 00:45:21,027 Speaker 22: year around, you know, like the same way. 865 00:45:21,187 --> 00:45:23,387 Speaker 2: So it was great to be able to get that back. 866 00:45:23,427 --> 00:45:25,387 Speaker 22: But you know, we just felt that, we felt the vibe, 867 00:45:25,387 --> 00:45:27,547 Speaker 22: could see it, and we were just wait until the 868 00:45:27,587 --> 00:45:29,867 Speaker 22: unfold and then there was penalty advantages going on, so 869 00:45:30,707 --> 00:45:33,467 Speaker 22: we had free We had free free cracks of the 870 00:45:33,507 --> 00:45:37,147 Speaker 22: line when it happens too. So we've talked about it 871 00:45:37,187 --> 00:45:38,947 Speaker 22: all year, but when we've got there, we don't need 872 00:45:38,987 --> 00:45:39,307 Speaker 22: to panic. 873 00:45:39,507 --> 00:45:39,667 Speaker 9: You know. 874 00:45:39,827 --> 00:45:42,627 Speaker 22: It's about being physical but being controlled. So it was 875 00:45:42,667 --> 00:45:45,907 Speaker 22: great to see that come through and get us to win. 876 00:45:46,147 --> 00:45:49,227 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was so obvious from watching how how much 877 00:45:49,507 --> 00:45:52,707 Speaker 3: composure there was out there, how calm, you know, everybody 878 00:45:52,827 --> 00:45:56,307 Speaker 3: seemed to be in a pretty chaotic part of the game. 879 00:45:56,987 --> 00:46:00,027 Speaker 3: How crucial are the voices of your on field leaders 880 00:46:00,387 --> 00:46:01,347 Speaker 3: in moments like that. 881 00:46:02,707 --> 00:46:04,467 Speaker 22: Yeah, I think the voices are crucial, but I think 882 00:46:04,507 --> 00:46:07,467 Speaker 22: it's backing ourselves and earlier in there, we're guilty of 883 00:46:07,627 --> 00:46:10,987 Speaker 22: probably a bit too frantic and throwing passes that weren't needed. 884 00:46:11,067 --> 00:46:13,947 Speaker 22: But when were like that, we've got a game, we 885 00:46:14,067 --> 00:46:16,067 Speaker 22: now to play it. We've been we've done this before, 886 00:46:17,187 --> 00:46:20,467 Speaker 22: and it just seemed at that point everything to slow them. 887 00:46:20,467 --> 00:46:22,787 Speaker 22: We're in a we're in a real flow state, you know, 888 00:46:23,187 --> 00:46:25,507 Speaker 22: and in finals that's what you need. You need to 889 00:46:26,347 --> 00:46:27,947 Speaker 22: take out the mental side of the game and just 890 00:46:28,107 --> 00:46:30,667 Speaker 22: be really clear and focused so that you can be composed, 891 00:46:30,707 --> 00:46:35,587 Speaker 22: so that that's going to you know, be awesome for 892 00:46:35,667 --> 00:46:38,467 Speaker 22: our confidence going down to which will be a tough 893 00:46:38,547 --> 00:46:40,107 Speaker 22: match against Crusaders. 894 00:46:40,227 --> 00:46:41,587 Speaker 3: You want to pick up on that in a moment 895 00:46:41,947 --> 00:46:45,547 Speaker 3: at nineteen six down with fifteen minutes to go, did 896 00:46:45,627 --> 00:46:48,307 Speaker 3: you did you have faith still that you could get 897 00:46:48,467 --> 00:46:49,067 Speaker 3: the job done? 898 00:46:50,387 --> 00:46:50,547 Speaker 9: Oh? 899 00:46:50,627 --> 00:46:54,347 Speaker 2: It was concerned, you know, it was like fair enough enough? 900 00:46:54,827 --> 00:46:56,627 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah there all, you know, to. 901 00:46:56,627 --> 00:46:58,947 Speaker 22: Be honest, and as a coach, you're thinking, but we 902 00:46:59,027 --> 00:47:00,907 Speaker 22: didn't get that. We didn't really get to far a shot, 903 00:47:01,187 --> 00:47:02,867 Speaker 22: you know, in that first half, and you would have 904 00:47:02,867 --> 00:47:06,707 Speaker 22: seen the stats. Territory position we hadn't had any didn't 905 00:47:06,707 --> 00:47:08,947 Speaker 22: get into their twenty two at all. So it was 906 00:47:08,987 --> 00:47:10,707 Speaker 22: sort of like, is this how it's going to end. 907 00:47:10,867 --> 00:47:13,507 Speaker 22: You know, we didn't really get to have a crack 908 00:47:13,547 --> 00:47:15,627 Speaker 22: at them, and then there's a couple of opportunities that 909 00:47:15,707 --> 00:47:19,227 Speaker 22: we missed, and then once we started going, it's like, well, 910 00:47:19,707 --> 00:47:21,467 Speaker 22: five minutes is a long time. Ten minutes is a 911 00:47:21,507 --> 00:47:21,867 Speaker 22: long time. 912 00:47:21,947 --> 00:47:22,067 Speaker 2: You know. 913 00:47:22,187 --> 00:47:25,187 Speaker 22: When when Damien missed that cap, it was like, okay, 914 00:47:25,347 --> 00:47:27,987 Speaker 22: well here we go, and the boys pounced on it 915 00:47:28,147 --> 00:47:31,667 Speaker 22: and we're hungry. So yeah, I mean, that's that's the 916 00:47:31,667 --> 00:47:33,547 Speaker 22: beauty of the game. And it was a I mean, 917 00:47:34,267 --> 00:47:36,027 Speaker 22: as a spectator, I suppose it was a great game 918 00:47:36,067 --> 00:47:36,387 Speaker 22: to watch. 919 00:47:36,627 --> 00:47:36,907 Speaker 6: It was. 920 00:47:37,187 --> 00:47:39,187 Speaker 3: It was here for those of us with no skin 921 00:47:39,267 --> 00:47:42,067 Speaker 3: in the game, You're right, it's compelling IM up off 922 00:47:42,147 --> 00:47:44,987 Speaker 3: the couch watching that game as if I've got in 923 00:47:45,107 --> 00:47:47,267 Speaker 3: some sort of investment in it, which I haven't. Just 924 00:47:47,347 --> 00:47:50,627 Speaker 3: on Damien McKenzie's miss penalty, you know, he kicked well 925 00:47:50,627 --> 00:47:52,827 Speaker 3: all night, but that would have taken them out to 926 00:47:52,867 --> 00:47:55,267 Speaker 3: what twenty two thirteen? Were you kind of willing that 927 00:47:55,387 --> 00:47:57,227 Speaker 3: one white has he kicked it. 928 00:47:58,227 --> 00:48:04,867 Speaker 22: I didn't even watch it, to be honest, I'm not 929 00:48:04,907 --> 00:48:07,467 Speaker 22: going to. I'm not going to, you know, paint these 930 00:48:07,467 --> 00:48:09,907 Speaker 22: beautiful pictures of all the things you want to hear mate, 931 00:48:09,947 --> 00:48:11,787 Speaker 22: but I just didn't watch. I was like, oh, you know, 932 00:48:13,027 --> 00:48:15,147 Speaker 22: and we've been there. You know, we've seen that those 933 00:48:15,227 --> 00:48:15,787 Speaker 22: cats go over. 934 00:48:15,947 --> 00:48:16,467 Speaker 2: We've missed some. 935 00:48:16,667 --> 00:48:20,267 Speaker 22: But you know, and again, like I said, you know 936 00:48:20,547 --> 00:48:22,387 Speaker 22: the game that's when the whistle blows, is when it's over. 937 00:48:22,467 --> 00:48:24,027 Speaker 22: And I just love the fact that the boys just 938 00:48:24,147 --> 00:48:28,227 Speaker 22: kept going, keep going. Hoskins got done for crawling, you know, 939 00:48:28,307 --> 00:48:31,787 Speaker 22: and it's like, who cares, let's go again. The boys 940 00:48:31,827 --> 00:48:33,707 Speaker 22: are out there. Apparently the chat was really good, Like 941 00:48:33,787 --> 00:48:36,067 Speaker 22: you say, the leaders store part stood up with Body 942 00:48:36,067 --> 00:48:40,747 Speaker 22: and Riquae Warson, Dalton Hoskins. You know, they lied well 943 00:48:40,787 --> 00:48:44,387 Speaker 22: on our bench. Was was energetic, you know, so what 944 00:48:44,587 --> 00:48:44,947 Speaker 22: more can. 945 00:48:44,867 --> 00:48:45,227 Speaker 21: The house for? 946 00:48:45,507 --> 00:48:47,827 Speaker 3: Yeah, and provided the two tries, you'll be no doubt 947 00:48:47,867 --> 00:48:51,707 Speaker 3: reveling in the fact that too tight forwards scored your tries. 948 00:48:51,747 --> 00:48:53,107 Speaker 3: Have you been making that point today? 949 00:48:54,107 --> 00:48:55,347 Speaker 2: Well, it was all backed last week. 950 00:48:55,467 --> 00:48:57,587 Speaker 22: That's about you know. You can't have them score on 951 00:48:57,627 --> 00:48:58,227 Speaker 22: them all the time. 952 00:48:59,987 --> 00:49:00,347 Speaker 9: That's good. 953 00:49:02,267 --> 00:49:02,667 Speaker 6: That was good. 954 00:49:02,747 --> 00:49:06,587 Speaker 22: Cudy Cutie was he dived in at ankle height and 955 00:49:06,747 --> 00:49:10,307 Speaker 22: got his and then Josh was outstanding and just kept 956 00:49:10,347 --> 00:49:12,547 Speaker 22: his body hide and he's a big man. He's powerful 957 00:49:12,627 --> 00:49:15,227 Speaker 22: and Georgie Lake kind of assisted him to get out 958 00:49:15,227 --> 00:49:18,427 Speaker 22: of the line. And those sorts of things are you know, 959 00:49:18,507 --> 00:49:22,627 Speaker 22: the boys will cherish and will definitely celebrate that maybe 960 00:49:23,027 --> 00:49:25,707 Speaker 22: tomorrow when boys come in with a with a six 961 00:49:25,787 --> 00:49:26,427 Speaker 22: day turn around. 962 00:49:26,587 --> 00:49:28,747 Speaker 3: Now you mentioned the Crusaders. I'm sure you've heard the stats. 963 00:49:28,827 --> 00:49:32,667 Speaker 3: They've won thirty straight finals matches in christ here, and 964 00:49:32,707 --> 00:49:36,587 Speaker 3: I'm equally sure you'll be undaunted heading down there, won't you. 965 00:49:38,547 --> 00:49:41,027 Speaker 22: You you hear this stets a lot of stats mentioned 966 00:49:41,067 --> 00:49:44,547 Speaker 22: you hear about, you know, I mean, that's a good one, 967 00:49:44,627 --> 00:49:47,187 Speaker 22: but in the end of the day, that's probably not 968 00:49:47,267 --> 00:49:49,147 Speaker 22: going to be the main motivator for us. 969 00:49:49,187 --> 00:49:49,347 Speaker 6: You know. 970 00:49:49,507 --> 00:49:53,307 Speaker 22: That's that's great, it's it's a for the Crusaders, it's great, 971 00:49:53,347 --> 00:49:55,667 Speaker 22: and for us it's like, oh yeah, but there's more 972 00:49:55,707 --> 00:49:58,667 Speaker 22: at stake here than just breaking a breaking a record, 973 00:49:58,747 --> 00:50:00,547 Speaker 22: you know. So we have a game to play and 974 00:50:00,627 --> 00:50:04,147 Speaker 22: I think for us, it's about planning our game, having 975 00:50:04,187 --> 00:50:08,547 Speaker 22: a performance that they can on us again and and 976 00:50:08,587 --> 00:50:10,347 Speaker 22: there's still a few things that we can get right. 977 00:50:10,587 --> 00:50:15,507 Speaker 22: You know, wasn't the perfect performance, So that's that's how focus. 978 00:50:15,587 --> 00:50:17,427 Speaker 22: But yes, the hell ofs that I know. 979 00:50:17,387 --> 00:50:20,347 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter anymore, Greg, because you're in finals games now. 980 00:50:20,747 --> 00:50:23,467 Speaker 3: But why do you think consistency was so hard to 981 00:50:23,547 --> 00:50:25,867 Speaker 3: come by for the Blues in the regular season. 982 00:50:28,187 --> 00:50:31,107 Speaker 22: I think I think there's a number of there's a 983 00:50:31,147 --> 00:50:34,107 Speaker 22: fifth factors. I think, you know, we had a New 984 00:50:34,187 --> 00:50:35,787 Speaker 22: Zealand a team and an all black team that were 985 00:50:35,787 --> 00:50:36,987 Speaker 22: all over with a few of our boys, isn't it. 986 00:50:37,067 --> 00:50:40,747 Speaker 22: They came back and and didn't really get the probably 987 00:50:40,827 --> 00:50:43,147 Speaker 22: the preseason that I would have liked of them got, 988 00:50:43,507 --> 00:50:45,547 Speaker 22: if you know what I mean. Like, so there was 989 00:50:45,547 --> 00:50:48,147 Speaker 22: a little bit of a stagnated start there, and then 990 00:50:48,187 --> 00:50:51,267 Speaker 22: we lost a few games in the last minute, and 991 00:50:51,467 --> 00:50:54,107 Speaker 22: I think then we just like I said earlier, we 992 00:50:54,187 --> 00:50:56,587 Speaker 22: probably just played a little bit frantic at times and 993 00:50:56,627 --> 00:51:00,027 Speaker 22: tried a little bit too hard, and you can't it's hard. 994 00:51:01,107 --> 00:51:03,267 Speaker 22: It's hard to sort of like, I don't know it 995 00:51:03,347 --> 00:51:05,907 Speaker 22: disciplined the boys on trying too hard. It's just pulling 996 00:51:05,947 --> 00:51:08,827 Speaker 22: it back and just going back to what works well 997 00:51:08,907 --> 00:51:11,947 Speaker 22: for us and keep getting better. And I think no 998 00:51:12,067 --> 00:51:15,707 Speaker 22: one's during the year has actually gone you know, I 999 00:51:15,747 --> 00:51:17,947 Speaker 22: lost confidence in what we're doing, and I think VC 1000 00:51:18,067 --> 00:51:21,027 Speaker 22: has done a good job and resetting us and coming 1001 00:51:21,107 --> 00:51:23,707 Speaker 22: back to what we're what we're good at, but also 1002 00:51:24,107 --> 00:51:26,587 Speaker 22: growing our game at the same time. So yeah, there's 1003 00:51:26,587 --> 00:51:28,427 Speaker 22: a few factors there. And we obviously lost a couple 1004 00:51:28,427 --> 00:51:34,427 Speaker 22: of guys with Offer and Sam early on, but Josh 1005 00:51:34,467 --> 00:51:38,147 Speaker 22: has stepped up, Leggy Louglan McConnell. 1006 00:51:37,907 --> 00:51:40,107 Speaker 9: Last he stepped up, Josh Berry stepped up. 1007 00:51:40,187 --> 00:51:44,427 Speaker 22: And yeah, and I think also our health is pretty 1008 00:51:44,427 --> 00:51:48,027 Speaker 22: good too now, so you know, to win games, you 1009 00:51:48,107 --> 00:51:52,307 Speaker 22: need players available, and so that's that's all part of it. 1010 00:51:52,427 --> 00:51:54,867 Speaker 22: So there's a few factors. There's not always just one 1011 00:51:54,947 --> 00:51:55,587 Speaker 22: or two things, you know. 1012 00:51:55,907 --> 00:51:57,907 Speaker 3: Yeah, and can I tak you about Josh fush tour. 1013 00:51:58,067 --> 00:52:00,667 Speaker 3: He's played all fifteen games this year, started the last ten. 1014 00:52:01,267 --> 00:52:02,667 Speaker 3: You reckon he might be all black this year. 1015 00:52:04,627 --> 00:52:07,627 Speaker 22: Look, I'm reluctant to talk about that stuff because so 1016 00:52:07,987 --> 00:52:10,507 Speaker 22: you know, it's out of our hands, out of my hands, 1017 00:52:11,907 --> 00:52:14,347 Speaker 22: and it's in his a little bit more than mine, 1018 00:52:14,587 --> 00:52:16,627 Speaker 22: you know what I mean. So, and I don't want 1019 00:52:16,667 --> 00:52:19,547 Speaker 22: to put any more pressure on the guy. There are 1020 00:52:19,627 --> 00:52:23,627 Speaker 22: some good players knocking on that door, and you know, 1021 00:52:23,707 --> 00:52:25,867 Speaker 22: he's done enough this year to show what he can do, 1022 00:52:26,227 --> 00:52:31,107 Speaker 22: show he's shown massive potential. Well, his potential is still 1023 00:52:31,627 --> 00:52:33,467 Speaker 22: there's no ceiling. I don't think, you know, he can 1024 00:52:33,507 --> 00:52:38,387 Speaker 22: still get better. So I'm excited for his future, you 1025 00:52:38,467 --> 00:52:40,307 Speaker 22: know what I mean, and for us to start with, 1026 00:52:40,467 --> 00:52:44,787 Speaker 22: I'm excited for that any His professionalism has just accelerated 1027 00:52:45,027 --> 00:52:50,347 Speaker 22: so much around his game off field, and yeah, so 1028 00:52:50,667 --> 00:52:53,347 Speaker 22: whatever happens happens for him. But he's had a great season. 1029 00:52:53,427 --> 00:52:55,867 Speaker 3: You know, Well, you've all earned another Monday. I hope 1030 00:52:55,907 --> 00:52:58,067 Speaker 3: it's a great week. Greg, all the best on Friday 1031 00:52:58,107 --> 00:52:59,747 Speaker 3: night down in christ Church if you look to break 1032 00:52:59,827 --> 00:53:02,627 Speaker 3: that thirty match trick for the Crusaders. Thanks for the 1033 00:53:02,707 --> 00:53:06,827 Speaker 3: chat this afternoon, mate, No pleasure chess, No thank you, Greg. 1034 00:53:06,907 --> 00:53:10,987 Speaker 3: Greg feak them scrum coach assistant coach of the Blues. 1035 00:53:11,307 --> 00:53:15,947 Speaker 3: So they earn another week. They will face the Crusaders 1036 00:53:15,987 --> 00:53:18,187 Speaker 3: and christ churchs least talk some super rugby eight hundred 1037 00:53:18,187 --> 00:53:22,067 Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty. The Blues title defense has finally 1038 00:53:22,147 --> 00:53:25,067 Speaker 3: sprang to life, isn't it. For a long time it 1039 00:53:25,227 --> 00:53:28,907 Speaker 3: was stuttering along. They won a game that they had 1040 00:53:28,947 --> 00:53:33,907 Speaker 3: to win to stay alive, and they are alive, heading 1041 00:53:33,947 --> 00:53:36,787 Speaker 3: to christ Church where they'll now attempt to break the Crusaders' 1042 00:53:37,307 --> 00:53:41,707 Speaker 3: thirty match finals winning streak and reach what would be 1043 00:53:41,747 --> 00:53:45,827 Speaker 3: for them a second straight Grand Final. Now, what impressed 1044 00:53:45,867 --> 00:53:47,707 Speaker 3: me the most last night about the Blues was the 1045 00:53:47,867 --> 00:53:52,147 Speaker 3: manner in which they did it, from nineteen to six 1046 00:53:52,347 --> 00:53:57,627 Speaker 3: down with fifteen minutes to go, scoring a converted try 1047 00:53:57,787 --> 00:54:01,827 Speaker 3: well after the hooter. They showed a resilience that was 1048 00:54:01,987 --> 00:54:05,787 Speaker 3: the hallmark of their title winning season in twenty twenty 1049 00:54:05,827 --> 00:54:09,747 Speaker 3: four and something that has been conspicuously absent, you have 1050 00:54:09,867 --> 00:54:12,427 Speaker 3: to say in twenty twenty five until now. Now, next 1051 00:54:12,467 --> 00:54:15,667 Speaker 3: weekend will be difficult as difficult, if not more so 1052 00:54:16,547 --> 00:54:19,387 Speaker 3: than last night. But the Blues did what they had 1053 00:54:19,427 --> 00:54:23,467 Speaker 3: to do to earn themselves another week and another week 1054 00:54:23,547 --> 00:54:27,227 Speaker 3: for their departing players. Mark Talayer, how He Plumber, Ricky 1055 00:54:27,267 --> 00:54:30,467 Speaker 3: Rickettali Adrian Choke. They're all going when the season ends, 1056 00:54:31,547 --> 00:54:36,187 Speaker 3: and it was minutes away from ending last night. The 1057 00:54:36,267 --> 00:54:38,827 Speaker 3: game itself very different, wasn't it from the round robin 1058 00:54:38,907 --> 00:54:40,867 Speaker 3: rugby we've seen for much of this year. The first 1059 00:54:40,907 --> 00:54:43,547 Speaker 3: try didn't arrive until an hour into the game, when 1060 00:54:43,627 --> 00:54:45,547 Speaker 3: Daniel Rohna scored for the Chiefs and they went ahead 1061 00:54:45,547 --> 00:54:47,507 Speaker 3: by thirteen, And at that point I thought, right, okay, 1062 00:54:48,587 --> 00:54:51,947 Speaker 3: that's it. The Chiefs now will ease away and win 1063 00:54:51,987 --> 00:54:53,947 Speaker 3: this game. But the Blues came right back. Kurt Eckland 1064 00:54:54,547 --> 00:54:56,707 Speaker 3: mustling over. It was a six point game all of 1065 00:54:56,707 --> 00:55:01,587 Speaker 3: a sudden. Key moment was Damien McKenzie missing his only 1066 00:55:02,267 --> 00:55:03,947 Speaker 3: kick of the night, or the only one he missed 1067 00:55:04,347 --> 00:55:07,667 Speaker 3: with five to go. It's a tough kick, it's wide out, 1068 00:55:08,427 --> 00:55:10,187 Speaker 3: but even so that would have made it twenty two 1069 00:55:10,347 --> 00:55:13,787 Speaker 3: thirteen and almost certainly eliminated the Blues only five minutes 1070 00:55:13,827 --> 00:55:15,987 Speaker 3: to go, nine behind. They're not going to score twice 1071 00:55:16,027 --> 00:55:18,747 Speaker 3: in five minutes. But back came the Blues, and it 1072 00:55:18,827 --> 00:55:23,507 Speaker 3: seemed at the end actually almost inevitable that they would 1073 00:55:23,507 --> 00:55:26,147 Speaker 3: find a way, and they did, Josh Berry crashing over, 1074 00:55:26,187 --> 00:55:31,307 Speaker 3: Boden Barrett converting, the Blues celebrating their continued involvement in 1075 00:55:31,547 --> 00:55:35,707 Speaker 3: Super Rugby twenty twenty five. Just a word on the 1076 00:55:35,707 --> 00:55:39,307 Speaker 3: Battle of the Tens. I thought Boden Barrett outplayed Damien mackenzie. 1077 00:55:40,027 --> 00:55:43,267 Speaker 3: He showed a calmness, a composure even when his team 1078 00:55:43,387 --> 00:55:45,187 Speaker 3: was behind late in the game. He put them in 1079 00:55:45,227 --> 00:55:47,987 Speaker 3: the right part of the field, allowed them to apply pressure, 1080 00:55:48,027 --> 00:55:50,427 Speaker 3: and he kicked his goals. He just seemed like a 1081 00:55:50,547 --> 00:55:54,667 Speaker 3: steadier hand. Last night than Damien mackenzie, and in a 1082 00:55:54,707 --> 00:55:56,907 Speaker 3: game like that that was absolutely crucial. 1083 00:55:58,107 --> 00:55:58,947 Speaker 2: The Crusaders. 1084 00:55:59,227 --> 00:56:03,507 Speaker 3: The Crusaders, They're now super Rugby favorites, aren't they. They 1085 00:56:03,547 --> 00:56:06,627 Speaker 3: were by far the most convincing of the four semi 1086 00:56:06,707 --> 00:56:10,787 Speaker 3: finalists in their match over the weekend and they can 1087 00:56:10,827 --> 00:56:15,227 Speaker 3: now win it without leaving christ Church, just like they 1088 00:56:15,307 --> 00:56:18,787 Speaker 3: always used to. Twenty twenty four's in the Revue Mirror. 1089 00:56:19,387 --> 00:56:23,467 Speaker 3: The Crusaders, I hate to tell you, are the Crusaders again? 1090 00:56:24,627 --> 00:56:26,187 Speaker 3: I eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty. 1091 00:56:26,907 --> 00:56:30,667 Speaker 15: Hey, Mark, Yeah, if I was a chief of what 1092 00:56:30,747 --> 00:56:33,267 Speaker 15: I'd be blaming you. I think you were waxing miracle 1093 00:56:33,307 --> 00:56:38,787 Speaker 15: about Damien McKenzie statistics yesterday. You're blaming every Yep, you'll 1094 00:56:38,827 --> 00:56:40,707 Speaker 15: say every time he plays. There were one hundred and 1095 00:56:40,747 --> 00:56:42,707 Speaker 15: fifty percent of their games and look what happened. 1096 00:56:43,027 --> 00:56:43,227 Speaker 6: Yep. 1097 00:56:43,267 --> 00:56:45,227 Speaker 3: See I played by part. You see I played by 1098 00:56:45,347 --> 00:56:46,947 Speaker 3: Part and they're downfall. 1099 00:56:48,027 --> 00:56:50,187 Speaker 15: You should have said something nice about the Brumbies. 1100 00:56:50,787 --> 00:56:53,827 Speaker 3: I should have. Yeah, that was a man. 1101 00:56:53,907 --> 00:56:54,067 Speaker 8: You know. 1102 00:56:54,307 --> 00:56:56,667 Speaker 3: I went to bed a bit grumpy after that. But yeah, 1103 00:56:56,707 --> 00:56:57,667 Speaker 3: now you got to hand it to the bloke. You 1104 00:56:57,707 --> 00:56:58,987 Speaker 3: got to hand it to the Blues don't you. I 1105 00:56:59,027 --> 00:57:01,507 Speaker 3: mean they you know, they they were in the last 1106 00:57:01,587 --> 00:57:04,187 Speaker 3: chance saloon. The Chiefs weren't and and. 1107 00:57:04,267 --> 00:57:04,667 Speaker 21: Here we are. 1108 00:57:06,107 --> 00:57:08,667 Speaker 15: I don't think that came into I mean, the way 1109 00:57:08,747 --> 00:57:12,027 Speaker 15: the Chiefs defenders last night was just herculean up until 1110 00:57:12,067 --> 00:57:15,507 Speaker 15: the last ten minutes, and they sort of controlled that 1111 00:57:15,627 --> 00:57:18,107 Speaker 15: game through their defense, I thought, without standing. But the 1112 00:57:18,187 --> 00:57:21,067 Speaker 15: tenacity of the Blues. It was like an old fashioned 1113 00:57:21,147 --> 00:57:22,587 Speaker 15: test match at the end of the day, and the 1114 00:57:22,627 --> 00:57:25,627 Speaker 15: Blues just never gave up, which is kind of different 1115 00:57:25,707 --> 00:57:27,547 Speaker 15: for them really over but I mean, they are a 1116 00:57:27,547 --> 00:57:29,467 Speaker 15: different team. I guess in the last two years, I 1117 00:57:29,507 --> 00:57:32,387 Speaker 15: feel like the Chiefs are probably a little bit curse. 1118 00:57:32,427 --> 00:57:34,307 Speaker 15: They just can't seem to get over the line. I 1119 00:57:35,027 --> 00:57:37,547 Speaker 15: guess they've probably got an easier path with the Brumbies 1120 00:57:37,587 --> 00:57:40,867 Speaker 15: next week. But yeah, I thought, given you know, watching 1121 00:57:40,987 --> 00:57:44,827 Speaker 15: last night's games, I thought the Brumbies have to spe congratulated. 1122 00:57:45,067 --> 00:57:47,947 Speaker 15: I thought they and that a lot of team of stars. 1123 00:57:48,027 --> 00:57:50,227 Speaker 15: On paper, they probably shouldn't have been the Hurricanes, but 1124 00:57:50,347 --> 00:57:53,067 Speaker 15: they just randed out. You know, They've just got a 1125 00:57:53,227 --> 00:57:56,507 Speaker 15: simple game plan and they just really ground. They didn't 1126 00:57:56,587 --> 00:57:59,067 Speaker 15: let the Hurricanes play the game at all. What did 1127 00:57:59,107 --> 00:58:00,907 Speaker 15: you see the game or yeah, yeah. 1128 00:58:00,907 --> 00:58:01,427 Speaker 2: Yeah I did. 1129 00:58:01,787 --> 00:58:03,187 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, I saw it. 1130 00:58:03,547 --> 00:58:04,067 Speaker 7: I saw it. 1131 00:58:04,187 --> 00:58:07,587 Speaker 3: Yeah. When you say about I think you're right. I 1132 00:58:07,627 --> 00:58:11,507 Speaker 3: think the Chiefs have an easier path. I think, you know, 1133 00:58:11,587 --> 00:58:14,467 Speaker 3: the Brumbi's, much as they are very good in Canberra, 1134 00:58:14,947 --> 00:58:17,747 Speaker 3: aren't quite as good over here. And I think, you know, 1135 00:58:18,107 --> 00:58:19,947 Speaker 3: if the Chiefs needed to kick up the backside, they 1136 00:58:19,987 --> 00:58:22,947 Speaker 3: certainly got it last night. They will not that I 1137 00:58:22,987 --> 00:58:25,387 Speaker 3: think they needed one necessarily, Mark, you know, I think 1138 00:58:25,867 --> 00:58:28,667 Speaker 3: you know they and Clayton McMillan said afterwards, Look, we 1139 00:58:28,947 --> 00:58:32,147 Speaker 3: never even talked about the fact that this wasn't our 1140 00:58:32,227 --> 00:58:35,147 Speaker 3: last chance, that a loss would not end our season. 1141 00:58:35,227 --> 00:58:38,267 Speaker 3: We wanted to eliminate the Blues, and you know, I 1142 00:58:38,347 --> 00:58:40,187 Speaker 3: think you know, and I think a lot of people 1143 00:58:40,267 --> 00:58:41,147 Speaker 3: probably hope that too. 1144 00:58:41,627 --> 00:58:45,027 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's gonna it's going to be 1145 00:58:45,067 --> 00:58:46,987 Speaker 15: a great game next week. I mean, I'll certainly be 1146 00:58:47,107 --> 00:58:50,387 Speaker 15: getting the popcorn ready for the Blues versus Crusader's sort 1147 00:58:50,427 --> 00:58:52,427 Speaker 15: of an old school game that just could have promised 1148 00:58:52,467 --> 00:58:56,387 Speaker 15: us so much. That's the weather can play part. But 1149 00:58:56,947 --> 00:58:58,547 Speaker 15: you know, you've got to give it to those the 1150 00:58:58,667 --> 00:59:02,067 Speaker 15: Blues forwards. They just just relentless, aren't they? And it 1151 00:59:02,187 --> 00:59:04,347 Speaker 15: might be another might be the Backs don't get the 1152 00:59:04,387 --> 00:59:06,907 Speaker 15: ball again maybe for the Blues and the and the 1153 00:59:06,947 --> 00:59:09,467 Speaker 15: Blues just could you grind out a win against the 1154 00:59:09,547 --> 00:59:11,947 Speaker 15: Crusaders and be interesting to see the odds when they 1155 00:59:12,027 --> 00:59:14,147 Speaker 15: come out of this sweep the day it. 1156 00:59:14,187 --> 00:59:17,627 Speaker 3: Will And Mark, that's how they won Super Rugby last year, 1157 00:59:18,147 --> 00:59:20,827 Speaker 3: not just the finals games, but like the whole season. 1158 00:59:21,107 --> 00:59:25,307 Speaker 3: They were just so good upfront and then once they 1159 00:59:25,547 --> 00:59:28,307 Speaker 3: established that platform, then the Backs got their hands on 1160 00:59:28,387 --> 00:59:31,387 Speaker 3: it and you know, did score a lot of tries. 1161 00:59:31,427 --> 00:59:33,987 Speaker 3: But you're right, last night wasn't like the round robin 1162 00:59:34,187 --> 00:59:36,827 Speaker 3: has been for the most part this year with you know, 1163 00:59:36,907 --> 00:59:38,507 Speaker 3: with defense on occasion optional. 1164 00:59:38,787 --> 00:59:41,507 Speaker 15: You know, it was a real grind no, no, yeah, 1165 00:59:42,067 --> 00:59:44,347 Speaker 15: So who are you picking for the Blues against Crusaders? 1166 00:59:44,347 --> 00:59:45,187 Speaker 15: Who do you think win that? 1167 00:59:45,827 --> 00:59:48,547 Speaker 3: I think the Crusaders will win it. That's how it feels. 1168 00:59:48,667 --> 00:59:50,307 Speaker 3: I just feel like they're the Crusaders again. 1169 00:59:50,387 --> 00:59:50,547 Speaker 6: Mark. 1170 00:59:50,587 --> 00:59:52,347 Speaker 3: You know, like I said before, I just feel like 1171 00:59:52,947 --> 00:59:56,547 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four just put a real fire under them. 1172 00:59:56,907 --> 01:00:00,547 Speaker 3: And I watched them play like against the Reds and 1173 01:00:00,587 --> 01:00:02,787 Speaker 3: it was only the Reds, I know. On Friday Night 1174 01:00:02,987 --> 01:00:04,947 Speaker 3: it never felt that we were going to lose that game. 1175 01:00:05,267 --> 01:00:08,907 Speaker 3: Never for a moment did it feel like they were losing. Yeah, 1176 01:00:08,987 --> 01:00:09,587 Speaker 3: the Blues will. 1177 01:00:09,507 --> 01:00:12,267 Speaker 15: Be better than the rest of Yeah, I think Yeah, 1178 01:00:12,347 --> 01:00:14,347 Speaker 15: I mean proved last night. The Blues are going to 1179 01:00:14,387 --> 01:00:16,507 Speaker 15: be very tough to be I. 1180 01:00:16,587 --> 01:00:18,627 Speaker 3: Agree, Mark, I agree. I'll be all like you. I 1181 01:00:18,707 --> 01:00:21,787 Speaker 3: have popcorn as well. No stake in that game, no 1182 01:00:21,947 --> 01:00:26,907 Speaker 3: investments anymore. Lance's Ponty, I'm confused. If the Blues had lost, 1183 01:00:28,027 --> 01:00:30,547 Speaker 3: who would have been playing the Crusaders in the semi final. 1184 01:00:30,787 --> 01:00:32,947 Speaker 3: It's a good question, Lance. If the Blues had lost, 1185 01:00:33,627 --> 01:00:35,827 Speaker 3: the Chiefs would have stayed top seed, the Blues would 1186 01:00:35,867 --> 01:00:38,467 Speaker 3: have been second seed, and both the Brumbies and the 1187 01:00:38,587 --> 01:00:42,587 Speaker 3: Hurricanes would have gone through, as the Hurricanes would have 1188 01:00:42,627 --> 01:00:45,067 Speaker 3: been the highest ranked loser. So the answer to your 1189 01:00:45,147 --> 01:00:47,867 Speaker 3: question is, if the Blues had lost last night, the 1190 01:00:47,907 --> 01:00:51,067 Speaker 3: Crusaders would be playing the Brumbies in their semi final 1191 01:00:51,347 --> 01:00:53,347 Speaker 3: and the Hurricanes would be off to Hamilton to take 1192 01:00:53,387 --> 01:00:55,387 Speaker 3: on the Chiefs. But as soon as the Blues won 1193 01:00:55,467 --> 01:01:00,827 Speaker 3: that game, the Brumbies Hurricanes game became sudden death and 1194 01:01:01,667 --> 01:01:04,667 Speaker 3: it was the Hurricanes who came out on the losing side. 1195 01:01:04,707 --> 01:01:06,267 Speaker 3: Corey James on the show, but later on the start, 1196 01:01:06,347 --> 01:01:08,747 Speaker 3: then't let's get back to the line. So a padahama, 1197 01:01:08,907 --> 01:01:11,027 Speaker 3: our hurricanes are gone, mate, They're gone. 1198 01:01:12,987 --> 01:01:16,227 Speaker 23: Piney. I was like, ah, stress free night tonight. The 1199 01:01:16,347 --> 01:01:17,587 Speaker 23: chicksaw all. 1200 01:01:17,507 --> 01:01:19,067 Speaker 6: Over the top of the blues yep. 1201 01:01:19,507 --> 01:01:22,387 Speaker 23: And then suddenly about nine o'clock my anxiety level started 1202 01:01:22,387 --> 01:01:26,667 Speaker 23: going through the roof. And but our first who tries Piney? 1203 01:01:26,707 --> 01:01:27,547 Speaker 23: I was like, here we go. 1204 01:01:28,027 --> 01:01:28,667 Speaker 15: That's all good. 1205 01:01:28,707 --> 01:01:31,347 Speaker 23: And then I don't know eras. 1206 01:01:33,187 --> 01:01:33,987 Speaker 24: The Canes for. 1207 01:01:34,147 --> 01:01:36,947 Speaker 25: Thirty years have been susceptible to align our drive and 1208 01:01:38,107 --> 01:01:40,587 Speaker 25: I don't know they were close to stopping to day 1209 01:01:40,667 --> 01:01:45,187 Speaker 25: but they I don't know that was just with your homework. 1210 01:01:45,507 --> 01:01:47,547 Speaker 23: I found no one like stopping that. I know it's 1211 01:01:47,587 --> 01:01:50,547 Speaker 23: easier said than done. But you see the Brumbies bringing 1212 01:01:50,587 --> 01:01:53,347 Speaker 23: their bringing their backs and they get that extra momentum kick. 1213 01:01:54,027 --> 01:01:56,747 Speaker 9: But it's fund like we were the bit of too, 1214 01:01:56,907 --> 01:01:57,667 Speaker 9: but lost. 1215 01:01:57,427 --> 01:02:01,707 Speaker 23: And also discipline too. The Brumbies discipline on their line 1216 01:02:01,907 --> 01:02:06,667 Speaker 23: was really good. Owls not so much. But yeah, it 1217 01:02:06,747 --> 01:02:08,547 Speaker 23: was there for the taking. But it's really just a 1218 01:02:08,627 --> 01:02:09,587 Speaker 23: bit of a therapy. 1219 01:02:09,347 --> 01:02:10,227 Speaker 7: Call for both of us. 1220 01:02:10,267 --> 01:02:11,867 Speaker 3: They're pony to be honest, no, I agree, I know, 1221 01:02:11,987 --> 01:02:14,787 Speaker 3: and I'm i'm I'm I'm reclining on the couch as 1222 01:02:14,867 --> 01:02:17,507 Speaker 3: you speak. And I always thought we weren't it, you know, 1223 01:02:17,587 --> 01:02:20,467 Speaker 3: because we've got you know, like we get to try, 1224 01:02:20,507 --> 01:02:21,667 Speaker 3: and then they get to try, and then we get 1225 01:02:21,707 --> 01:02:23,427 Speaker 3: to try. And you're right when Ruben Loves you know, 1226 01:02:23,507 --> 01:02:26,467 Speaker 3: sliced through almost untouched to open the score and go 1227 01:02:26,587 --> 01:02:28,707 Speaker 3: all right, well, you know this is good and and 1228 01:02:28,907 --> 01:02:31,027 Speaker 3: you know, Billy practice having a good game, and we 1229 01:02:31,107 --> 01:02:32,347 Speaker 3: seem to be in control up front. 1230 01:02:32,347 --> 01:02:32,747 Speaker 2: But you're right. 1231 01:02:32,827 --> 01:02:35,587 Speaker 3: It just you know, five tries. You can see five tries. 1232 01:02:36,267 --> 01:02:38,027 Speaker 3: You're probably not going to win too many games if 1233 01:02:38,027 --> 01:02:38,987 Speaker 3: you can see five tries. 1234 01:02:40,027 --> 01:02:44,267 Speaker 23: And and just just some of those moments when Duplas 1235 01:02:44,467 --> 01:02:47,427 Speaker 23: gets that short ball in the gap and then I 1236 01:02:47,507 --> 01:02:50,107 Speaker 23: don't know drops the brand shield and a bit of 1237 01:02:50,147 --> 01:02:53,347 Speaker 23: space drops it. Rubin Ruben loves past that past that 1238 01:02:53,467 --> 01:02:55,627 Speaker 23: he through and I'm like, where's that game? 1239 01:02:55,707 --> 01:02:55,787 Speaker 6: Bro? 1240 01:02:55,907 --> 01:02:56,627 Speaker 14: He's like, I don't know. 1241 01:02:57,267 --> 01:02:59,227 Speaker 23: He reminded me a bit of like Early Doors Jordie, 1242 01:02:59,827 --> 01:03:03,587 Speaker 23: you know, brilliant and then a bit prone to the 1243 01:03:03,667 --> 01:03:05,387 Speaker 23: old occasional shaker. 1244 01:03:05,747 --> 01:03:09,107 Speaker 3: But yeah, just decision making. A great season he has 1245 01:03:09,147 --> 01:03:10,307 Speaker 3: and I mean you think back to my one in 1246 01:03:10,307 --> 01:03:12,267 Speaker 3: Pacifica last week. You know, through that and set past 1247 01:03:12,307 --> 01:03:14,467 Speaker 3: that allowed them to open the scoring, and you say, okay, 1248 01:03:14,547 --> 01:03:16,387 Speaker 3: well cool, he is still learning. I think he's a 1249 01:03:16,507 --> 01:03:20,027 Speaker 3: terrific prospect. Ribbon laughing. He'll be a magnificent player for 1250 01:03:20,307 --> 01:03:22,547 Speaker 3: the Hurricanes for a long time hopefully, and for the 1251 01:03:22,547 --> 01:03:23,387 Speaker 3: All Blacks turn. 1252 01:03:23,387 --> 01:03:25,987 Speaker 23: Ye, the besculp in the comp he has the best 1253 01:03:26,027 --> 01:03:28,507 Speaker 23: goolkicker in New Zealand. Now he just puts those on 1254 01:03:28,547 --> 01:03:29,427 Speaker 23: the right post. 1255 01:03:29,267 --> 01:03:30,027 Speaker 9: And tell them. 1256 01:03:30,067 --> 01:03:32,467 Speaker 23: I was like, oh, maybe that's maybe that's a good 1257 01:03:32,587 --> 01:03:35,267 Speaker 23: uh uh anyway, right, that's it. 1258 01:03:35,467 --> 01:03:36,747 Speaker 9: I don't nothink. 1259 01:03:36,907 --> 01:03:38,827 Speaker 23: Hey, I watched them all ways though, so good on them. 1260 01:03:38,867 --> 01:03:39,507 Speaker 9: That was a good job. 1261 01:03:40,107 --> 01:03:42,547 Speaker 3: Yep, good stuff. And Padahama always loves channing to him. Yes, 1262 01:03:42,547 --> 01:03:44,507 Speaker 3: the All Whites have closed it out.

Peter asks on text, Jason, if 1270 01:04:06,347 --> 01:04:08,827 Speaker 3: the Blues and Brumbies win is the final in Canberra? 1271 01:04:09,027 --> 01:04:12,187 Speaker 3: Yes it is, Peter, it is. I mean it would 1272 01:04:12,227 --> 01:04:14,747 Speaker 3: be unexpected, wouldn't there? But yes, that is what would 1273 01:04:14,787 --> 01:04:17,947 Speaker 3: happen if the Blues and the Brumbies win their semis 1274 01:04:18,547 --> 01:04:21,667 Speaker 3: off to Canberra for the final blood the old days, 1275 01:04:21,867 --> 01:04:23,027 Speaker 3: wasn't it, Jason? 1276 01:04:23,107 --> 01:04:28,507 Speaker 18: I mate, mate, good, Hey, thanks for explaining. Gee, you're 1277 01:04:28,507 --> 01:04:30,227 Speaker 18: then one that good. I was trying to work out 1278 01:04:30,267 --> 01:04:31,867 Speaker 18: when the Blues you know, got over line what the 1279 01:04:31,907 --> 01:04:36,947 Speaker 18: heck it meant for the semis so that yeah, thanks 1280 01:04:36,987 --> 01:04:38,947 Speaker 18: for explaining it. There was almost like you need of 1281 01:04:38,987 --> 01:04:41,947 Speaker 18: women degree in mathematics to work it out. But look 1282 01:04:42,227 --> 01:04:46,707 Speaker 18: on that it's a format that I'm really enjoying. It's 1283 01:04:46,747 --> 01:04:51,307 Speaker 18: adding all this mistaque and you know, hight around what 1284 01:04:51,467 --> 01:04:54,947 Speaker 18: goes happens where with the format compared to all the 1285 01:04:55,067 --> 01:04:58,107 Speaker 18: other years, it's all rather academic. You know, Crusaders get 1286 01:04:58,147 --> 01:05:00,147 Speaker 18: into knock the playoffs and they just win the thing 1287 01:05:00,427 --> 01:05:03,427 Speaker 18: versus what could happen and what might have happened, you 1288 01:05:03,507 --> 01:05:05,627 Speaker 18: know what we saw in the theater last night. So 1289 01:05:06,387 --> 01:05:08,787 Speaker 18: it's you know, tepma hat to the guys. That's sort 1290 01:05:08,787 --> 01:05:10,907 Speaker 18: of the format for this year's competition. I think it's 1291 01:05:10,947 --> 01:05:11,587 Speaker 18: worked well. 1292 01:05:11,907 --> 01:05:16,867 Speaker 3: Yeah, I do, and I don't. Jason, I feel Look, 1293 01:05:16,947 --> 01:05:19,027 Speaker 3: I feel as though if you lose a game in 1294 01:05:19,987 --> 01:05:24,787 Speaker 3: a final series, you shouldn't be rewarded with hosting another 1295 01:05:24,907 --> 01:05:29,067 Speaker 3: finals game the following week. I get the whole lucky 1296 01:05:29,147 --> 01:05:30,747 Speaker 3: loser thing, and I you know, when you've only got 1297 01:05:30,827 --> 01:05:33,387 Speaker 3: six teams, and I get the fact that if you 1298 01:05:33,427 --> 01:05:36,307 Speaker 3: finish top you should get some sort of advantage with that. 1299 01:05:36,427 --> 01:05:38,947 Speaker 3: But to me, you should drop to the bottom of 1300 01:05:38,987 --> 01:05:43,307 Speaker 3: the rankings, not just one spot. So for example, after 1301 01:05:43,427 --> 01:05:46,427 Speaker 3: last night, instead of being second on the rankings, the 1302 01:05:46,547 --> 01:05:48,787 Speaker 3: Chiefs should now be fourth on the rankings. That's how 1303 01:05:48,827 --> 01:05:49,507 Speaker 3: I would have done it. 1304 01:05:50,467 --> 01:05:53,267 Speaker 18: But isn't that what happens. Isn't it exactly the format 1305 01:05:53,347 --> 01:05:55,467 Speaker 18: for NRL if you get a life, if you finish 1306 01:05:55,547 --> 01:05:57,187 Speaker 18: top two, you get a life for it, or you know, 1307 01:05:57,307 --> 01:05:59,387 Speaker 18: you just don't play the first week. Is that what happens? 1308 01:05:59,427 --> 01:05:59,547 Speaker 9: Oh? 1309 01:05:59,667 --> 01:06:00,347 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's deffinitely. 1310 01:06:00,387 --> 01:06:00,547 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1311 01:06:00,787 --> 01:06:03,187 Speaker 3: NRL is different with their top A top six is 1312 01:06:03,227 --> 01:06:07,347 Speaker 3: always a bit fraught with difficulty, and you know, the 1313 01:06:07,467 --> 01:06:11,387 Speaker 3: most obvious top six for our finals format. Jas's is 1314 01:06:11,467 --> 01:06:14,187 Speaker 3: one and two go straight to the semes, three v six, 1315 01:06:14,267 --> 01:06:17,147 Speaker 3: four v five. The winners of those go to the semis. 1316 01:06:17,227 --> 01:06:18,907 Speaker 3: But you know, and you get a week off. But 1317 01:06:19,227 --> 01:06:23,387 Speaker 3: more often than not, and someone tweeted this yest yesterday, Apparently, 1318 01:06:23,467 --> 01:06:26,267 Speaker 3: when when a team gets a buy straight into the semis, 1319 01:06:26,707 --> 01:06:30,227 Speaker 3: there's quite a high percentage of them then losing the 1320 01:06:30,307 --> 01:06:33,027 Speaker 3: following week because you know, they've had a week off. 1321 01:06:33,107 --> 01:06:36,667 Speaker 3: They don't capitalize on momentum whatever it is. Most teams 1322 01:06:36,707 --> 01:06:39,267 Speaker 3: will probably tell you they'd rather keep playing, so at 1323 01:06:39,307 --> 01:06:40,867 Speaker 3: least under this format they do. 1324 01:06:42,067 --> 01:06:45,867 Speaker 18: Yeah, just look what happened to AFC to know about that? Yes, 1325 01:06:46,387 --> 01:06:50,267 Speaker 18: you're right, yeah, no, I know I've got to be asked, mate. 1326 01:06:50,267 --> 01:06:52,107 Speaker 18: I haven't been following all the games this year. I've 1327 01:06:52,107 --> 01:06:54,467 Speaker 18: sort of taken a bit of a hiatus from Super 1328 01:06:54,547 --> 01:06:57,267 Speaker 18: Rugby and I think I'm still I'm still basking in 1329 01:06:57,427 --> 01:07:00,347 Speaker 18: the splendor of the a c C you know, of 1330 01:07:00,427 --> 01:07:03,147 Speaker 18: their season, so I've joined up late. But what I 1331 01:07:03,267 --> 01:07:07,147 Speaker 18: had seen in last week and this week I can 1332 01:07:07,187 --> 01:07:09,547 Speaker 18: see why the ratings are so high for this year 1333 01:07:09,627 --> 01:07:13,227 Speaker 18: is Super Rugby Marana pacifica obviously have cred a lot 1334 01:07:13,307 --> 01:07:17,347 Speaker 18: as well. But no, I'm enjoying the format and can't 1335 01:07:17,387 --> 01:07:18,027 Speaker 18: wait for next week. 1336 01:07:18,107 --> 01:07:20,627 Speaker 3: Matt good Man, Jayce, good to Chanty as always make 1337 01:07:20,707 --> 01:07:23,307 Speaker 3: drive safe. Thanks for you call, Jamie. 1338 01:07:23,067 --> 01:07:25,987 Speaker 26: High great, Pinny, how are you going? 1339 01:07:26,387 --> 01:07:28,067 Speaker 3: Yeah? Good, thank you Jamie. What's on your mind? 1340 01:07:28,427 --> 01:07:28,587 Speaker 9: Good? 1341 01:07:28,627 --> 01:07:28,787 Speaker 6: Good? 1342 01:07:28,987 --> 01:07:32,107 Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't get to see I've only 1343 01:07:32,147 --> 01:07:34,867 Speaker 26: got to see a little bit of the two Screws 1344 01:07:34,947 --> 01:07:38,507 Speaker 26: game because I was enjoying the Warriors. But yeah, just 1345 01:07:38,547 --> 01:07:42,467 Speaker 26: with but of course what's the Hurricanes and just yeah, 1346 01:07:42,467 --> 01:07:44,987 Speaker 26: it's just just a bit of fuss frustrating. I mean, 1347 01:07:45,027 --> 01:07:48,387 Speaker 26: they always seem they get to a quarterfinal, semi final 1348 01:07:48,427 --> 01:07:50,947 Speaker 26: and then just not do the job. And I just 1349 01:07:50,987 --> 01:07:53,507 Speaker 26: sort of think they're a team that's going up on 1350 01:07:53,627 --> 01:07:57,147 Speaker 26: paper to to really challenge for the title and all 1351 01:07:57,227 --> 01:08:00,707 Speaker 26: these these make a final in it. I mean, yeah, 1352 01:08:00,747 --> 01:08:01,427 Speaker 26: what's your thoughts? 1353 01:08:02,587 --> 01:08:04,827 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean last year they were the best team 1354 01:08:04,827 --> 01:08:09,187 Speaker 3: in round robin, uh and came unstuck against the Chiefs 1355 01:08:09,227 --> 01:08:12,347 Speaker 3: and the semi and that was just an other worldly 1356 01:08:12,467 --> 01:08:15,507 Speaker 3: performance from Wallace to Titi among other things that that 1357 01:08:15,707 --> 01:08:18,307 Speaker 3: kind of put pay to the last season. Look, they're 1358 01:08:18,427 --> 01:08:21,147 Speaker 3: always they're always there or thereabouts. I can't remember the 1359 01:08:21,227 --> 01:08:24,227 Speaker 3: last time they didn't make the finals, but yeah, it 1360 01:08:24,347 --> 01:08:27,107 Speaker 3: just seems that that final step to the Grand Final 1361 01:08:27,867 --> 01:08:30,227 Speaker 3: just seems to at the moment be beyond them. What 1362 01:08:30,707 --> 01:08:33,787 Speaker 3: gives me optimism, I think is a Hurricane supporter Jamie, 1363 01:08:33,867 --> 01:08:37,107 Speaker 3: is that they have built depth this year almost by 1364 01:08:37,627 --> 01:08:39,267 Speaker 3: you know, because they've had to because they've had so 1365 01:08:39,347 --> 01:08:41,947 Speaker 3: many injuries that they've had guys coming in, so they've 1366 01:08:41,987 --> 01:08:44,627 Speaker 3: built some depth. They get Jordy, they get Jordy Barrett 1367 01:08:44,667 --> 01:08:48,787 Speaker 3: back next season. They hardly lose anybody, so hopefully they'll 1368 01:08:48,827 --> 01:08:52,387 Speaker 3: be better for having had this season. Look, I thought that, 1369 01:08:52,467 --> 01:08:54,067 Speaker 3: you know, they came home with a wet sale and 1370 01:08:54,147 --> 01:08:56,627 Speaker 3: round robin they won what five on the trot. I 1371 01:08:56,707 --> 01:08:58,347 Speaker 3: thought they would go to Canberra last night and win 1372 01:08:58,387 --> 01:09:01,067 Speaker 3: that game and that wasn't just the one eyed Hurricane 1373 01:09:01,107 --> 01:09:02,867 Speaker 3: supporter of me. I thought they had what it took 1374 01:09:02,907 --> 01:09:06,227 Speaker 3: to win that game. But yeah, unfortunately not to be. 1375 01:09:07,667 --> 01:09:11,867 Speaker 26: Yeah, there's yeah, there's just dis annoying. But then but 1376 01:09:11,987 --> 01:09:14,547 Speaker 26: I mean, yeah, there should be still some good rede 1377 01:09:14,547 --> 01:09:16,667 Speaker 26: you played for the rest of the season. Anyways, it 1378 01:09:16,667 --> 01:09:20,107 Speaker 26: would be a couple of a couple of cracking matchups 1379 01:09:20,467 --> 01:09:21,267 Speaker 26: just to say we're. 1380 01:09:21,107 --> 01:09:21,387 Speaker 24: Not on it. 1381 01:09:21,507 --> 01:09:23,027 Speaker 9: But yes, that's just how it is. 1382 01:09:23,507 --> 01:09:25,587 Speaker 26: Yeah, definitely next. 1383 01:09:25,507 --> 01:09:28,467 Speaker 3: Year, Definitely next year, Jamie. That's the spirit. That's the 1384 01:09:28,587 --> 01:09:30,227 Speaker 3: very we can at least we I mean, if there's 1385 01:09:30,227 --> 01:09:33,707 Speaker 3: a if there's an upside, we can we can relax 1386 01:09:34,027 --> 01:09:35,587 Speaker 3: for the last couple of weeks and not have to 1387 01:09:35,627 --> 01:09:39,427 Speaker 3: worry too much about about, you know, being invested in 1388 01:09:39,467 --> 01:09:45,067 Speaker 3: these games. There's a there was a text that came 1389 01:09:45,147 --> 01:09:47,467 Speaker 3: in before you hear it is from Kevin Point. He's 1390 01:09:47,467 --> 01:09:50,627 Speaker 3: still spewing fifteen hours later. I'm now praying that the 1391 01:09:50,707 --> 01:09:53,627 Speaker 3: Blues upset the Crusaders so we can deal to them 1392 01:09:53,667 --> 01:09:56,267 Speaker 3: in the final. You see, that's the other possibility here, 1393 01:09:56,347 --> 01:10:00,387 Speaker 3: right If the Chiefs speak the Brumbies and the Blues 1394 01:10:00,427 --> 01:10:03,587 Speaker 3: beat the Crusaders, then we'll have a repeat of last 1395 01:10:03,667 --> 01:10:08,667 Speaker 3: night in the Grand Final back in Hamlton. And I'm 1396 01:10:08,707 --> 01:10:11,907 Speaker 3: sure a lot of Chiefs fans would quite like that opportunity. 1397 01:10:13,267 --> 01:10:16,147 Speaker 3: They certainly would, because it would be in Hamilton. If 1398 01:10:16,187 --> 01:10:20,187 Speaker 3: the Crusaders beat the Blues, which again is very possible, 1399 01:10:22,547 --> 01:10:26,547 Speaker 3: they will host the final. They will host the final, 1400 01:10:27,507 --> 01:10:29,827 Speaker 3: and we know what happens when the Crusaders host finals. 1401 01:10:30,347 --> 01:10:32,707 Speaker 6: Hello, Mark, good afternoon, Buddy. 1402 01:10:33,587 --> 01:10:35,867 Speaker 9: Your expert opinion, Buddy. 1403 01:10:36,107 --> 01:10:40,867 Speaker 10: Yep, I'll try if Goden Barrot has scored. 1404 01:10:40,587 --> 01:10:43,627 Speaker 23: That re enactment of the World Cup, try you think 1405 01:10:43,907 --> 01:10:45,507 Speaker 23: that the game might have changed. 1406 01:10:45,267 --> 01:10:47,067 Speaker 18: At that time of the game. 1407 01:10:48,427 --> 01:10:50,107 Speaker 3: Well, that was in the first half, wasn't it that 1408 01:10:50,227 --> 01:10:53,027 Speaker 3: when he sprinted away wonderful piece of skill, kicked it through, 1409 01:10:53,147 --> 01:10:58,227 Speaker 3: ran forward, look to dive on it. Maybe one on 1410 01:10:58,347 --> 01:11:03,427 Speaker 3: half time? Yeah, potentially, Look, it's I mean, i'd just 1411 01:11:03,507 --> 01:11:06,987 Speaker 3: be I just spitballing, yeut, I don't be blue skying 1412 01:11:07,027 --> 01:11:09,627 Speaker 3: on it. But yeah, potentially. But then I mean Cortez 1413 01:11:09,667 --> 01:11:11,707 Speaker 3: Latima had a chance. He was over the line or 1414 01:11:11,907 --> 01:11:14,107 Speaker 3: nearly over the line and knocked on, didn't he And 1415 01:11:14,427 --> 01:11:16,507 Speaker 3: theyre actually a couple went There was another one as well, 1416 01:11:16,507 --> 01:11:18,347 Speaker 3: when I think some penny few knocked it out of 1417 01:11:18,347 --> 01:11:21,027 Speaker 3: it out of somebody's hands, So there were actually a 1418 01:11:21,107 --> 01:11:22,107 Speaker 3: lot of near things. 1419 01:11:22,787 --> 01:11:27,507 Speaker 7: But yeah, yeah, that was a brilliant little chip over, 1420 01:11:27,587 --> 01:11:27,947 Speaker 7: won't it. 1421 01:11:28,467 --> 01:11:32,027 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think they'd probably reflect back on it more 1422 01:11:32,187 --> 01:11:35,027 Speaker 3: if they hadn't won the game, Mark, they'd go back 1423 01:11:35,067 --> 01:11:37,267 Speaker 3: and say, hey, if only body had managed to score 1424 01:11:37,307 --> 01:11:39,067 Speaker 3: that one, we might have won. Well as it happened, 1425 01:11:39,107 --> 01:11:41,107 Speaker 3: they won anyway, So yeah. 1426 01:11:42,027 --> 01:11:43,027 Speaker 18: I've got a funny fit in. 1427 01:11:43,067 --> 01:11:44,947 Speaker 23: It could be a Brumby's Blues final. 1428 01:11:46,427 --> 01:11:48,907 Speaker 3: All right, fuck well, well wait and see mate, it's 1429 01:11:48,947 --> 01:11:52,347 Speaker 3: a possibility. It's one of what four possibilities, isn't it 1430 01:11:52,627 --> 01:11:55,827 Speaker 3: that we could have that. I think we're headed down 1431 01:11:55,867 --> 01:11:58,907 Speaker 3: the line of a Crusaders Chiefs final in christ Church. 1432 01:11:59,187 --> 01:12:02,067 Speaker 3: That's not a particularly bold claim, I know, but I 1433 01:12:02,187 --> 01:12:05,067 Speaker 3: think that's what we're headed for nineteen to two. Let's 1434 01:12:05,067 --> 01:12:06,747 Speaker 3: take a break when we come back.

Look, I think it was great. I 1448 01:12:48,787 --> 01:12:51,827 Speaker 9: mean the Agenda podcast that I do with the acc 1449 01:12:52,027 --> 01:12:55,627 Speaker 9: that was beaten by Mile Boss Rex Alito was a 1450 01:12:55,787 --> 01:12:58,507 Speaker 9: sports cafe, so you know, it was one of those 1451 01:12:58,627 --> 01:13:00,467 Speaker 9: nights where I just had to sort of eat apple 1452 01:13:00,507 --> 01:13:02,267 Speaker 9: pie and you know me, I love pies. 1453 01:13:02,947 --> 01:13:06,067 Speaker 3: Well, I did enjoy catching up with you, you know 1454 01:13:06,147 --> 01:13:08,627 Speaker 3: when normally just talk on the phone, but the chance 1455 01:13:08,707 --> 01:13:12,107 Speaker 3: to chat about various things was something I really enjoyed. 1456 01:13:12,707 --> 01:13:14,547 Speaker 3: But can we do it around a more structured basis 1457 01:13:14,547 --> 01:13:17,307 Speaker 3: as we normally do on the radio and start with 1458 01:13:17,387 --> 01:13:20,027 Speaker 3: Super Rugby. How are you feeling about last night's action? 1459 01:13:21,307 --> 01:13:25,187 Speaker 9: Great? I think it's a perfect result. The Chiefs lost 1460 01:13:25,427 --> 01:13:28,787 Speaker 9: and they avoid the Hurricanes. This is the best news 1461 01:13:28,827 --> 01:13:30,227 Speaker 9: the Chiefs have had for some time. 1462 01:13:30,387 --> 01:13:30,787 Speaker 8: I know that. 1463 01:13:31,867 --> 01:13:33,627 Speaker 9: You know, the Blues got up and good on the Blues. 1464 01:13:33,747 --> 01:13:36,027 Speaker 9: I was actually a great game. It was a thrilling 1465 01:13:36,067 --> 01:13:38,947 Speaker 9: the end in some clutch moments, but just knowing that 1466 01:13:39,427 --> 01:13:41,507 Speaker 9: the Hurricanes are the team that beat the Chiefs just 1467 01:13:41,827 --> 01:13:45,667 Speaker 9: about three four weeks ago by eighteen points, so by 1468 01:13:45,707 --> 01:13:48,107 Speaker 9: avoiding them and having to host the Brumbies, I think 1469 01:13:48,147 --> 01:13:48,547 Speaker 9: they've won. 1470 01:13:49,147 --> 01:13:51,947 Speaker 3: See that is the way to find a silver lining. 1471 01:13:52,067 --> 01:13:52,507 Speaker 3: I love it. 1472 01:13:52,667 --> 01:13:53,067 Speaker 14: I love it. 1473 01:13:53,267 --> 01:13:55,267 Speaker 3: And then you look back to when the Chiefs have 1474 01:13:55,307 --> 01:13:57,667 Speaker 3: played the Brumbies, which was quite near the start of 1475 01:13:57,707 --> 01:13:59,747 Speaker 3: the season, and they nearly put fifty on them. So 1476 01:13:59,827 --> 01:14:03,067 Speaker 3: you're basically in the Grand Final already, exactly. 1477 01:14:03,147 --> 01:14:04,787 Speaker 9: That's why I'm looking at it, poney. And look, I 1478 01:14:04,907 --> 01:14:07,187 Speaker 9: know for weeks you've been baiting me, trying to talk 1479 01:14:07,427 --> 01:14:09,907 Speaker 9: up the Chiefs and stuff, and I know that you're 1480 01:14:09,947 --> 01:14:13,867 Speaker 9: a master beta, but I'm not going to fall for it, Poney. 1481 01:14:13,987 --> 01:14:17,107 Speaker 9: You can bait me all you like I've been saying 1482 01:14:17,147 --> 01:14:19,627 Speaker 9: it all Yeh, the Chiefs are just okay. We have 1483 01:14:19,707 --> 01:14:21,507 Speaker 9: to wait to the playoffs and I think they've got 1484 01:14:21,787 --> 01:14:24,627 Speaker 9: a few issues up front, and the crack started to appear, 1485 01:14:24,907 --> 01:14:29,787 Speaker 9: although it didn't help having Luke Jacobson eliminated at the 1486 01:14:29,907 --> 01:14:33,467 Speaker 9: last in the eleventh hour. So he is a huge loss. 1487 01:14:33,707 --> 01:14:36,067 Speaker 9: You lose your captain and you lose your whole loose 1488 01:14:36,107 --> 01:14:36,987 Speaker 9: forward trio mix. 1489 01:14:37,067 --> 01:14:39,347 Speaker 3: Really yeah, he has been big for them, hasn't he 1490 01:14:39,907 --> 01:14:42,627 Speaker 3: really really good? And yet it was late to wasn't it? 1491 01:14:42,707 --> 01:14:45,867 Speaker 3: Was it like on match day? So you've done the 1492 01:14:46,027 --> 01:14:48,147 Speaker 3: entire week's prep and all of a sudden you don't 1493 01:14:48,187 --> 01:14:51,627 Speaker 3: have a pretty significant member of your team. So Brumby's 1494 01:14:51,667 --> 01:14:55,747 Speaker 3: come to Hamilton next weekend. I'm not baiting you. Surely 1495 01:14:55,787 --> 01:14:57,627 Speaker 3: you'll win that well. 1496 01:14:57,907 --> 01:14:59,787 Speaker 9: I don't mind your baiting, Pony, because it's what you 1497 01:15:00,267 --> 01:15:01,907 Speaker 9: do so well, it's your job as the host. But 1498 01:15:02,027 --> 01:15:04,147 Speaker 9: I think I think the Chiefs can roll the Brumbies. 1499 01:15:04,747 --> 01:15:07,427 Speaker 9: I really don't care who. Out of the Blues and 1500 01:15:07,547 --> 01:15:10,747 Speaker 9: the Crusaders. I would say the Blues just sort of 1501 01:15:10,787 --> 01:15:15,987 Speaker 9: getting their act together nicely. Hoskinsitutu playing, you know, starting 1502 01:15:16,027 --> 01:15:19,547 Speaker 9: to show that championship pedigree of last year. Is an 1503 01:15:19,587 --> 01:15:22,027 Speaker 9: awkward year because I know he's been trying to leave 1504 01:15:22,107 --> 01:15:25,387 Speaker 9: New Zealand Rugby. They've kept him here. I think that 1505 01:15:25,507 --> 01:15:28,427 Speaker 9: even if he plays the house down in the playoffs 1506 01:15:28,507 --> 01:15:31,467 Speaker 9: for the rest of the playoffs, he won't get pack 1507 01:15:31,507 --> 01:15:33,267 Speaker 9: for the or Blacks because I think he doesn't want 1508 01:15:33,307 --> 01:15:35,267 Speaker 9: to play for the or Blacks. That's my feeling is 1509 01:15:35,347 --> 01:15:38,987 Speaker 9: that he will say no even if Fraser says you're in. 1510 01:15:39,667 --> 01:15:44,027 Speaker 9: So that'll be quite an interesting situation to monitor for Hoskins. 1511 01:15:44,107 --> 01:15:46,907 Speaker 9: But that try where he was crawling along the ground, 1512 01:15:47,507 --> 01:15:49,787 Speaker 9: I mean, I know that was disallowed, but I'm pretty 1513 01:15:49,787 --> 01:15:53,827 Speaker 9: sure they would have given Ardie that. You know, I 1514 01:15:53,947 --> 01:15:57,267 Speaker 9: just feel like he's didn't ever quite the supercised star status, 1515 01:15:57,307 --> 01:15:57,467 Speaker 9: you know. 1516 01:16:00,067 --> 01:16:04,027 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. It's like it's like sometimes Leonel Messi 1517 01:16:04,307 --> 01:16:07,827 Speaker 3: gets gets fouls again that other players, you know, just 1518 01:16:07,907 --> 01:16:10,387 Speaker 3: get the big play on from the referee. So yeah, 1519 01:16:10,587 --> 01:16:12,587 Speaker 3: now maybe there is a status thing here. Hey, well, 1520 01:16:12,627 --> 01:16:14,427 Speaker 3: did you get the chance to watch the Warriors? Well, 1521 01:16:14,507 --> 01:16:16,987 Speaker 3: I mean, I know you were involved in the coverage 1522 01:16:16,987 --> 01:16:19,387 Speaker 3: of the of the Chiefs against the Blues. Have you 1523 01:16:19,427 --> 01:16:21,987 Speaker 3: had the chance to catch up on the Warriors went 1524 01:16:22,067 --> 01:16:22,787 Speaker 3: over the Sharks? 1525 01:16:23,667 --> 01:16:25,507 Speaker 9: Well? No, actually I took the night off the Chiefs, 1526 01:16:25,827 --> 01:16:28,947 Speaker 9: off the a SEC Alternative commentary because I knew that 1527 01:16:29,267 --> 01:16:31,067 Speaker 9: the Blues are going to get up you see Pony, 1528 01:16:31,507 --> 01:16:33,907 Speaker 9: and so I didn't want to be there for that. 1529 01:16:34,107 --> 01:16:37,347 Speaker 9: But it was I did watch the Wars and to 1530 01:16:37,427 --> 01:16:40,147 Speaker 9: be honest, they just they're a well oiled machine. And 1531 01:16:40,227 --> 01:16:42,107 Speaker 9: there's two things I was going to talk about. One 1532 01:16:42,187 --> 01:16:45,227 Speaker 9: is the emergents of Lecqua Halasima. You know, when the 1533 01:16:45,267 --> 01:16:47,947 Speaker 9: Australian commentators start to call them by his first name, 1534 01:16:48,467 --> 01:16:51,587 Speaker 9: that they even they appreciate that this kid is going 1535 01:16:51,627 --> 01:16:54,507 Speaker 9: to be a superstar. He's nineteen years old, you know, 1536 01:16:54,707 --> 01:16:58,947 Speaker 9: straight out of tongue. He's just freakishing his ability and 1537 01:16:59,187 --> 01:17:01,507 Speaker 9: you know, seems to be able to. He's a trimagnet, 1538 01:17:01,667 --> 01:17:04,667 Speaker 9: right yeah, yep. That's one thing. And the other thing 1539 01:17:04,707 --> 01:17:08,227 Speaker 9: I was going to say is watch this space. Sky 1540 01:17:08,387 --> 01:17:11,547 Speaker 9: Sport has a new League show with Sean Johnson as 1541 01:17:11,627 --> 01:17:15,467 Speaker 9: the host. League Lounge with Sean Johnson, sponsored by Ford 1542 01:17:15,547 --> 01:17:18,187 Speaker 9: and it's going to be on Wednesday nights. I think 1543 01:17:18,307 --> 01:17:20,667 Speaker 9: eight eight thirty. I'm going to get killed for not knowing, 1544 01:17:20,787 --> 01:17:23,747 Speaker 9: but that'll be on Sky Sport and it's amazing getting 1545 01:17:23,787 --> 01:17:26,987 Speaker 9: somebody who you can tell speaking of Ozzie's identifying talent, 1546 01:17:27,267 --> 01:17:29,827 Speaker 9: Seawn Johnson's all over Fox Sport right now. 1547 01:17:30,147 --> 01:17:32,667 Speaker 3: Yeah, he is. They love him, don't they. They absolutely 1548 01:17:32,787 --> 01:17:34,747 Speaker 3: love the man. And you know, I'm looking forward to 1549 01:17:34,787 --> 01:17:36,947 Speaker 3: watching that as well. I've seen the promos, so now 1550 01:17:37,027 --> 01:17:38,827 Speaker 3: looking forward to to watching that. And you're right about 1551 01:17:38,987 --> 01:17:42,067 Speaker 3: about Lecqua. It's like Roger, isn't it. You only need 1552 01:17:42,107 --> 01:17:43,827 Speaker 3: the first name, that's right. 1553 01:17:43,987 --> 01:17:45,987 Speaker 9: They know they know he's a star, and so do 1554 01:17:46,107 --> 01:17:49,867 Speaker 9: we and I think, you know, Webb Andrew Webster deserves 1555 01:17:49,907 --> 01:17:51,467 Speaker 9: a lot of credit for the way he's managed him. 1556 01:17:51,507 --> 01:17:53,547 Speaker 9: He hasn't thrown him at all the time. He doesn't 1557 01:17:53,587 --> 01:17:58,147 Speaker 9: start every game. It's really nicely done. So a long 1558 01:17:58,227 --> 01:18:00,627 Speaker 9: may at last, because it just feels like with Leka, 1559 01:18:00,747 --> 01:18:04,667 Speaker 9: we've finally got that cutting edge. There's something out of nothing, 1560 01:18:04,707 --> 01:18:07,387 Speaker 9: guy who can break the l and some of those 1561 01:18:07,387 --> 01:18:12,307 Speaker 9: other youngsters. I noticed Jacob Laban starting to do the same, 1562 01:18:12,467 --> 01:18:14,547 Speaker 9: so you know they're really young kids. 1563 01:18:15,507 --> 01:18:17,067 Speaker 3: Now a year from now, the All Whites will be 1564 01:18:17,147 --> 01:18:21,067 Speaker 3: at the World Cup in Canada, Mexico or the United States. 1565 01:18:21,147 --> 01:18:23,227 Speaker 3: This morning. In fact, in the last couple of hours, 1566 01:18:23,267 --> 01:18:27,387 Speaker 3: they've beaten Cote Devoirs the Ivory Coast, a team ranked 1567 01:18:27,427 --> 01:18:30,267 Speaker 3: forty first in the world. We're eighty six. They've beaten 1568 01:18:30,267 --> 01:18:32,347 Speaker 3: them one nill significant result. This is the kind of 1569 01:18:32,427 --> 01:18:34,747 Speaker 3: thing that could happen at a World Cup. We might 1570 01:18:34,827 --> 01:18:38,187 Speaker 3: get drawn into a group with somebody like Ivory Coast. 1571 01:18:38,467 --> 01:18:40,747 Speaker 3: It's a really significant result. This isn't it. 1572 01:18:41,587 --> 01:18:43,347 Speaker 9: I know, I was just I've just been watching it 1573 01:18:43,467 --> 01:18:46,507 Speaker 9: and I need to defer to your expertise. Pine Out. 1574 01:18:47,187 --> 01:18:50,907 Speaker 9: We're coping by our Ivory Coast at the strongest. Because 1575 01:18:50,907 --> 01:18:53,147 Speaker 9: I saw a couple of stars on the bench. I noticed. 1576 01:18:53,587 --> 01:18:57,427 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't think they were greatly depleted. 1577 01:18:57,427 --> 01:18:58,667 Speaker 3: I must have better. I've sort of been trying to 1578 01:18:58,707 --> 01:19:00,507 Speaker 3: do a radio show as well, so I wasn't keeping 1579 01:19:03,147 --> 01:19:05,227 Speaker 3: the bosses listening. I wasn't watching the football. I was 1580 01:19:05,267 --> 01:19:08,547 Speaker 3: doing the radio. But ye, I think, but they weren't 1581 01:19:08,587 --> 01:19:11,827 Speaker 3: a bad they Certainly there's no bad Ivory Coast team. 1582 01:19:11,867 --> 01:19:14,227 Speaker 3: I don't think so. And Chris Wood only came on 1583 01:19:14,467 --> 01:19:16,627 Speaker 3: with about ten minutes to go for us. So there's 1584 01:19:16,627 --> 01:19:20,667 Speaker 3: our best player playing a minimal role exactly that. 1585 01:19:20,947 --> 01:19:24,027 Speaker 9: And also Eli Just, we need to talk about this 1586 01:19:24,107 --> 01:19:25,987 Speaker 9: guy because he should be a household name. I know 1587 01:19:26,147 --> 01:19:28,947 Speaker 9: he isn't a household name really, but he scored the 1588 01:19:29,027 --> 01:19:31,667 Speaker 9: goals dam and it took the three ball. Eli Just 1589 01:19:31,947 --> 01:19:36,787 Speaker 9: is a legitimate international star, emerging star. He's from Parmerston, North, 1590 01:19:37,067 --> 01:19:40,707 Speaker 9: He's a Parmi Boys kid. I think he's a wee fellow. 1591 01:19:40,707 --> 01:19:45,147 Speaker 9: He's about sixty five kg's dripping wet. He's I think 1592 01:19:45,227 --> 01:19:48,947 Speaker 9: his mum's Chinese. He's kind of come through the system 1593 01:19:49,027 --> 01:19:51,427 Speaker 9: in New Zealand all the age group teams, but ended 1594 01:19:51,507 --> 01:19:54,427 Speaker 9: up over in Europe and Denmark. Is he playing in Austria? 1595 01:19:54,467 --> 01:19:55,867 Speaker 9: Piney you can correct me if I'm wrong. 1596 01:19:56,707 --> 01:19:58,467 Speaker 3: He is playing in Austria, bang on yep. 1597 01:19:59,307 --> 01:20:01,347 Speaker 9: So there you go. And so that's Eli Justine. If 1598 01:20:01,347 --> 01:20:04,187 Speaker 9: you're wondering what's so good about him, I think he's 1599 01:20:04,267 --> 01:20:08,707 Speaker 9: just got well, he's he's accurate, he's good off both 1600 01:20:08,987 --> 01:20:11,747 Speaker 9: both feet. But he's just got composure. You know, you 1601 01:20:11,827 --> 01:20:14,427 Speaker 9: see him on the ball. This was really comfortable and 1602 01:20:14,467 --> 01:20:16,627 Speaker 9: it's been a while since we've had you know, I'm 1603 01:20:16,667 --> 01:20:18,627 Speaker 9: not I don't want to compare him to you know, 1604 01:20:18,947 --> 01:20:21,467 Speaker 9: Le Migna male, but just when you see someone who 1605 01:20:21,547 --> 01:20:23,667 Speaker 9: comes through and just looks like they belong at that level, 1606 01:20:23,747 --> 01:20:25,187 Speaker 9: that's what Eli Just's like. 1607 01:20:25,547 --> 01:20:27,907 Speaker 3: And eight six goals in his last seven matches. Hi, 1608 01:20:28,067 --> 01:20:30,427 Speaker 3: just to finish, do you remember talking to me about 1609 01:20:30,467 --> 01:20:31,947 Speaker 3: Oli Mathis on Thursday night? 1610 01:20:32,867 --> 01:20:36,587 Speaker 9: Yes, Oli Mathis. Let's talk about this generational talent who's 1611 01:20:36,747 --> 01:20:39,147 Speaker 9: kind of gone into the wilderness, well literally because he 1612 01:20:39,187 --> 01:20:42,187 Speaker 9: loves hunting from why he loves to go up into 1613 01:20:42,227 --> 01:20:43,707 Speaker 9: the bush and do that sort of thing. I think 1614 01:20:43,747 --> 01:20:47,827 Speaker 9: he's there this weekend, but anyway, he is. He's played 1615 01:20:47,867 --> 01:20:49,987 Speaker 9: for New Zealand sevens, didn't get much of a run. 1616 01:20:50,107 --> 01:20:52,147 Speaker 9: He's the guy had come on in the last five minutes. 1617 01:20:52,187 --> 01:20:54,747 Speaker 9: But that was a big call for someone who really 1618 01:20:54,867 --> 01:20:57,587 Speaker 9: looks like he shot out of a cannon. An incredible 1619 01:20:58,027 --> 01:21:01,307 Speaker 9: loose forward on the lighter side, but not that small, 1620 01:21:01,507 --> 01:21:05,907 Speaker 9: similar probably to Henry Pollock, you know, the lucy open 1621 01:21:06,027 --> 01:21:09,067 Speaker 9: side from Northampton. He's just made the lion. So my 1622 01:21:09,227 --> 01:21:12,427 Speaker 9: question is, Pony, what are we doing with this talent? 1623 01:21:12,827 --> 01:21:15,427 Speaker 9: It just seems he's twenty years old, he's about to 1624 01:21:15,467 --> 01:21:18,347 Speaker 9: go to the World Cup. But I just feel like 1625 01:21:18,427 --> 01:21:20,667 Speaker 9: we should have seen them maybe have a go at 1626 01:21:20,707 --> 01:21:23,867 Speaker 9: Super Rugby.

But this talent 1629 01:21:32,187 --> 01:21:34,587 Speaker 9: that he's got needs to be harnessed.

It didn't feel like, you know, 1786 01:29:54,627 --> 01:29:55,987 Speaker 6: we're a panicant and had to chase it. 1787 01:29:57,827 --> 01:30:00,907 Speaker 3: So I mean, do you do you review last night 1788 01:30:01,027 --> 01:30:02,787 Speaker 3: or do you just now put a cap on the 1789 01:30:02,827 --> 01:30:03,787 Speaker 3: season and look ahead. 1790 01:30:06,467 --> 01:30:07,987 Speaker 6: Some stage will have to We won't do it as 1791 01:30:07,987 --> 01:30:12,827 Speaker 6: a as a group at the moment, but some stage, 1792 01:30:12,867 --> 01:30:16,747 Speaker 6: just as coaches, we have to pick up our little 1793 01:30:16,787 --> 01:30:19,387 Speaker 6: boy pants and and look through it and just get 1794 01:30:19,427 --> 01:30:21,987 Speaker 6: a feel for what we're wrong. And then obviously we'll 1795 01:30:21,987 --> 01:30:24,907 Speaker 6: be looking at our season anyway. And you know, it's 1796 01:30:24,947 --> 01:30:29,187 Speaker 6: disappointing to with some downs all year and a few 1797 01:30:29,267 --> 01:30:30,387 Speaker 6: niggles and injuries. 1798 01:30:30,107 --> 01:30:33,787 Speaker 21: That we fought through it and get ourselves a taunts 1799 01:30:34,147 --> 01:30:38,187 Speaker 21: at the end, But yeah, disappointing not to get past 1800 01:30:38,227 --> 01:30:40,347 Speaker 21: the Bumpies and Canberra in the quarterfinal. 1801 01:30:40,827 --> 01:30:42,507 Speaker 3: You keep the vast majority of your squad dough for 1802 01:30:42,587 --> 01:30:45,307 Speaker 3: next year. You get Jordy Barrett back. You reckon this 1803 01:30:45,387 --> 01:30:48,307 Speaker 3: team can take an extra couple of steps and really 1804 01:30:48,387 --> 01:30:49,787 Speaker 3: contend in twenty twenty six. 1805 01:30:50,907 --> 01:30:53,427 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think how doesn't listen of the pleasing sight, 1806 01:30:54,587 --> 01:30:58,267 Speaker 6: you know, as they are young and and we aren't building. 1807 01:30:58,347 --> 01:31:00,947 Speaker 6: It's it's you know, trying to get better as coach, 1808 01:31:01,027 --> 01:31:04,587 Speaker 6: is trying to be better as you know, as planners, 1809 01:31:04,667 --> 01:31:08,667 Speaker 6: and obviously there's a small won't know and and super rugby. 1810 01:31:08,387 --> 01:31:11,187 Speaker 9: And you know we might be in there that part. 1811 01:31:11,347 --> 01:31:15,307 Speaker 21: We're just gonna, you know, continue. 1812 01:31:14,907 --> 01:31:18,467 Speaker 6: To brow our players and and us as coaches and 1813 01:31:19,867 --> 01:31:22,027 Speaker 6: and hopefully nixt you know, we can we can be 1814 01:31:22,107 --> 01:31:25,707 Speaker 6: better because you're right the put have come ups and in. 1815 01:31:25,747 --> 01:31:28,347 Speaker 3: The squad, and in a couple of weeks they'll be 1816 01:31:28,347 --> 01:31:30,667 Speaker 3: an all black squad named. Do you expect to hear 1817 01:31:30,667 --> 01:31:32,747 Speaker 3: a few Hurricanes names in the list? 1818 01:31:33,827 --> 01:31:34,347 Speaker 6: I hope so. 1819 01:31:34,867 --> 01:31:34,987 Speaker 14: Uh. 1820 01:31:36,547 --> 01:31:40,507 Speaker 6: You know, these guys and the team that have stayed 1821 01:31:40,587 --> 01:31:43,507 Speaker 6: really really good, and I think that the most end 1822 01:31:44,347 --> 01:31:47,387 Speaker 6: our sup has probably been duped. I think he's seen 1823 01:31:47,427 --> 01:31:50,147 Speaker 6: our standing as a as a player but also as 1824 01:31:50,187 --> 01:31:53,947 Speaker 6: a leader. So yeah, I think it's course for him 1825 01:31:53,947 --> 01:31:56,427 Speaker 6: because he deserves it. 1826 01:31:57,627 --> 01:31:59,427 Speaker 3: Indeed, I don't think you'll get too many arguments on 1827 01:31:59,507 --> 01:32:02,067 Speaker 3: that one.

So 1833 01:32:19,947 --> 01:32:23,267 Speaker 3: the Brumbies have earned themselves a trip to Hamilton. They 1834 01:32:23,307 --> 01:32:26,387 Speaker 3: will take on the Chiefs on Saturday night. That's five 1835 01:32:26,547 --> 01:32:28,947 Speaker 3: past seven. That's the second of the semi finals. The 1836 01:32:28,987 --> 01:32:32,147 Speaker 3: first is on Friday night at Apollo Project Stadium.

If the Crusaders went 1843 01:32:57,427 --> 01:33:00,107 Speaker 3: on Friday Night, they will host the Grand Final. If 1844 01:33:00,187 --> 01:33:03,547 Speaker 3: they were to lose, then the winner of Saturday night's 1845 01:33:03,747 --> 01:33:07,907 Speaker 3: second semi would host the final against the Blues. So 1846 01:33:08,067 --> 01:33:10,427 Speaker 3: we could be off to christ Church for the Grand Final. 1847 01:33:10,827 --> 01:33:13,907 Speaker 3: We could be off to Hamilton.

The first 1947 01:38:28,187 --> 01:38:31,667 Speaker 23: stage and approval, so that'll be the next step. 1948 01:38:32,067 --> 01:38:34,187 Speaker 3: Surely, be the chief executive must give you some sort 1949 01:38:34,227 --> 01:38:35,867 Speaker 3: of preference as far as where you want to be, 1950 01:38:36,147 --> 01:38:38,227 Speaker 3: although knowing you, I think you'll probably rather be in 1951 01:38:38,307 --> 01:38:39,147 Speaker 3: with the rest of your team. 1952 01:38:39,387 --> 01:38:39,507 Speaker 9: Hey. 1953 01:38:39,987 --> 01:38:42,627 Speaker 3: Ian, terrific news this week. Thanks for joining us, mate. 1954 01:38:42,627 --> 01:38:45,307 Speaker 3: We look forward to seeing the progress and I'll have 1955 01:38:45,387 --> 01:38:47,227 Speaker 3: to pay a visit to Colin Maiden Park once you're 1956 01:38:47,267 --> 01:38:47,747 Speaker 3: up and running. 1957 01:38:48,427 --> 01:38:50,347 Speaker 23: Okay, thanks very much, Jason, appreciate you, Sup. 1958 01:38:50,427 --> 01:38:50,627 Speaker 26: Thank you. 1959 01:38:50,707 --> 01:38:52,707 Speaker 3: I appreciate your time. Ian, thanks for need. Ian Francis, 1960 01:38:53,187 --> 01:38:56,907 Speaker 3: CEO of Auckland Crickets. So they're off to Colin Maiden Park. 1961 01:38:57,347 --> 01:39:01,467 Speaker 3: A big investment there. Auckland Aces and Hearts matches will 1962 01:39:01,467 --> 01:39:07,107 Speaker 3: be there, new training facilities, good broadcast infrastructure, refurbishment of 1963 01:39:07,187 --> 01:39:09,387 Speaker 3: some existing buildings and that's where Auckland Cricket will be 1964 01:39:09,427 --> 01:39:10,507 Speaker 3: based Colin Maiden Park. 1965 01:39:10,587 --> 01:39:10,947 Speaker 2: Good move. 1966 01:39:10,987 --> 01:39:13,747 Speaker 3: I think I'm not from Auckland. I don't know the 1967 01:39:14,187 --> 01:39:16,987 Speaker 3: ins and outs of travel out to that part of 1968 01:39:18,107 --> 01:39:22,347 Speaker 3: the city, but yeah, it just seems as though it's 1969 01:39:22,427 --> 01:39:26,907 Speaker 3: a Yeah, it just makes sense, doesn't it. I quite 1970 01:39:27,067 --> 01:39:29,667 Speaker 3: like the outer oval at eden Park that was quite good, 1971 01:39:29,747 --> 01:39:32,987 Speaker 3: wasn't it for domestic stuff? That was you know, the 1972 01:39:33,947 --> 01:39:39,067 Speaker 3: hitting sixers onto the road there and into the mobile forecourt. Yeah, 1973 01:39:39,107 --> 01:39:43,787 Speaker 3: but look, I think you know that the current sporting 1974 01:39:43,907 --> 01:39:46,907 Speaker 3: landscape lends itself to this sort of thing, you know, 1975 01:39:47,507 --> 01:39:51,107 Speaker 3: a smaller venue, a more intimate venue for domestic cricket. 1976 01:39:51,147 --> 01:39:53,387 Speaker 3: And as you heard Ian Francis say, look, this is 1977 01:39:53,547 --> 01:39:57,587 Speaker 3: just a domestic proposition. There is no thought of playing 1978 01:39:57,627 --> 01:40:00,547 Speaker 3: international cricket at Colin Maiden Park as they do in 1979 01:40:00,827 --> 01:40:02,427 Speaker 3: the other places we mentioned. Now am I going to 1980 01:40:02,467 --> 01:40:06,307 Speaker 3: be Hamilton Hagley Oval and Christ's? This is purely domestic. 1981 01:40:07,467 --> 01:40:10,427 Speaker 3: How much international cricket gets played at Eden Park? And 1982 01:40:10,507 --> 01:40:13,467 Speaker 3: the future remains to be seen. You know, there's I 1983 01:40:13,507 --> 01:40:15,507 Speaker 3: think we've moved away from Eden Park as a test 1984 01:40:15,547 --> 01:40:18,187 Speaker 3: forn you haven't we. There's you know, normally one or 1985 01:40:18,227 --> 01:40:21,027 Speaker 3: two white ball matches there every summer, but on the 1986 01:40:21,067 --> 01:40:24,747 Speaker 3: main oval. I mean, but you know it's a bit cavernous, 1987 01:40:24,827 --> 01:40:27,587 Speaker 3: isn't it. So yeah, it'll be interesting to see just 1988 01:40:27,667 --> 01:40:30,667 Speaker 3: how much international cricket is retained by Eden Park. I 1989 01:40:30,707 --> 01:40:33,267 Speaker 3: would imagine it'd be yeah, Like I say, a couple 1990 01:40:33,307 --> 01:40:36,267 Speaker 3: of white ball matches every summer. Whoever the big ticket 1991 01:40:36,827 --> 01:40:38,947 Speaker 3: team that tours is will probably play a T twenty 1992 01:40:39,027 --> 01:40:43,267 Speaker 3: match there, maybe a one day international remains to be seen, 1993 01:40:43,307 --> 01:40:45,747 Speaker 3: but a good move I think from Auckland Cricket to 1994 01:40:46,227 --> 01:40:49,707 Speaker 3: get out to Colin Maiden Park two twenty five, will 1995 01:40:49,707 --> 01:40:51,867 Speaker 3: take a break and then head to New York where 1996 01:40:51,987 --> 01:40:55,667 Speaker 3: sale GP has its latest stop. They haven't sailed since March. 1997 01:40:55,747 --> 01:40:58,387 Speaker 3: It's been a week while the last regatta was caught off. 1998 01:40:58,427 --> 01:40:59,707 Speaker 3: Of course they had to do a bunch of work 1999 01:40:59,747 --> 01:41:01,427 Speaker 3: on all of the boats. They're ready to go again 2000 01:41:01,907 --> 01:41:04,507 Speaker 3: and sailed on day one this morning on the Hudson 2001 01:41:04,667 --> 01:41:08,507 Speaker 3: River the Black Foils the second and eleventh and then 2002 01:41:08,707 --> 01:41:10,787 Speaker 3: a win in the third race to sit fourth on 2003 01:41:10,867 --> 01:41:15,307 Speaker 3: the table. How do they evaluate their first day? Strategist 2004 01:41:15,467 --> 01:41:18,387 Speaker 3: Live Mackay is with us next here on Weekend Sport. 2005 01:41:19,147 --> 01:41:23,067 Speaker 2: It's more than just a game.

Allen 2009 01:41:31,467 --> 01:41:35,387 Speaker 3: says Jason, it's the increase in summer concerts at Eden Park, 2010 01:41:35,867 --> 01:41:38,747 Speaker 3: which means the outer oval is becoming more and more unavailable. 2011 01:41:38,867 --> 01:41:42,307 Speaker 3: That's why they've had to move to Colin Maiden. Thanks Ellen, Yeah, 2012 01:41:42,347 --> 01:41:44,187 Speaker 3: I know you're right. Actually, whenever they have a concert 2013 01:41:44,187 --> 01:41:46,187 Speaker 3: at Eden Park or any kind of event, often the 2014 01:41:46,267 --> 01:41:48,707 Speaker 3: outer oval has taken out of commission as well, isn't 2015 01:41:48,707 --> 01:41:50,907 Speaker 3: it so? Yep, very good point you make, Ellen. Thanks. Indeed, 2016 01:41:51,267 --> 01:41:53,867 Speaker 3: the Black Foils well in the hunt following the opening 2017 01:41:53,947 --> 01:41:56,347 Speaker 3: day of racing at the latest sal GP event in 2018 01:41:56,467 --> 01:41:59,267 Speaker 3: New York. Are you now thinking terminated race and just 2019 01:41:59,307 --> 01:42:01,227 Speaker 3: get ourselves as far as we can and get the 2020 01:42:01,267 --> 01:42:02,107 Speaker 3: closest spot we can? 2021 01:42:02,467 --> 01:42:02,827 Speaker 18: Oh, we are. 2022 01:42:02,907 --> 01:42:05,627 Speaker 1: The Flatfoils are just brought it home the Avus wedding moment. 2023 01:42:05,707 --> 01:42:08,347 Speaker 3: That's odd for the Black Foils, so they managed to 2024 01:42:08,387 --> 01:42:10,427 Speaker 3: save a day. They'll be loving that. I could assure you. 2025 01:42:10,507 --> 01:42:12,067 Speaker 3: There's nothing that you can enjoy. 2026 01:42:12,187 --> 01:42:16,267 Speaker 16: Well, talk about sneaking up on you, sneaks up on 2027 01:42:16,387 --> 01:42:18,227 Speaker 16: us as we had no idea, well I didn't at 2028 01:42:18,307 --> 01:42:20,187 Speaker 16: least that New Zealand had one more turn to make. 2029 01:42:20,267 --> 01:42:22,347 Speaker 3: But they bring it home and they get the win. Yeah, 2030 01:42:22,387 --> 01:42:24,867 Speaker 3: that's New Zealand winning the third and final Fleet race 2031 01:42:25,027 --> 01:42:28,067 Speaker 3: on day one after they were second and eleventh in 2032 01:42:28,147 --> 01:42:30,667 Speaker 3: the first two races. So the Black Falls are fourth 2033 01:42:30,707 --> 01:42:34,467 Speaker 3: on the table, but just one point separating second from fourth, 2034 01:42:34,867 --> 01:42:37,467 Speaker 3: and three more fleet races tomorrow before the top three 2035 01:42:37,947 --> 01:42:42,387 Speaker 3: go into the final Black Foils. Strategist Live Mackay's with 2036 01:42:42,547 --> 01:42:44,587 Speaker 3: us eleve in general terms. First of all, how do 2037 01:42:44,627 --> 01:42:47,187 Speaker 3: you assess the opening day on the Hudson River. 2038 01:42:48,747 --> 01:42:52,947 Speaker 27: Yes, well, as you nicely worded there, it was definitely 2039 01:42:52,987 --> 01:42:56,427 Speaker 27: a mixed bag today. I mean that eleventh place was 2040 01:42:57,227 --> 01:42:59,947 Speaker 27: you know, really hindered us in the points, but very 2041 01:43:00,227 --> 01:43:02,347 Speaker 27: glad to come away with the win and the last 2042 01:43:02,387 --> 01:43:05,987 Speaker 27: one and the second in that first one. It was 2043 01:43:06,747 --> 01:43:09,907 Speaker 27: a super challenging day out there. They were you know, 2044 01:43:09,987 --> 01:43:14,307 Speaker 27: they brought the racing forward to you know, try and 2045 01:43:14,347 --> 01:43:16,947 Speaker 27: get a hit of the storms that we ended up 2046 01:43:17,027 --> 01:43:20,547 Speaker 27: having this afternoon. But it was it definitely made for 2047 01:43:20,627 --> 01:43:26,067 Speaker 27: some really challenging racing and some insane fans that endured 2048 01:43:26,147 --> 01:43:27,467 Speaker 27: some heavy rain out there. 2049 01:43:27,747 --> 01:43:30,627 Speaker 3: So okay, yeah, because that's I think most of us. Well, 2050 01:43:30,707 --> 01:43:32,707 Speaker 3: I know, I did work up this morning thinking racing 2051 01:43:33,107 --> 01:43:34,987 Speaker 3: was going to start at seven thirty out time, and 2052 01:43:35,027 --> 01:43:36,867 Speaker 3: all of a sudden I look and it's all done, 2053 01:43:37,027 --> 01:43:40,347 Speaker 3: so so a storm rolled in. That's why they brought 2054 01:43:40,387 --> 01:43:41,107 Speaker 3: everything forward. 2055 01:43:43,107 --> 01:43:46,587 Speaker 27: Yes, obviously a very hard call to make because it 2056 01:43:46,747 --> 01:43:49,707 Speaker 27: is not what you know, they want for fans and 2057 01:43:49,787 --> 01:43:52,627 Speaker 27: everything is you know, bringing the schedule forwards not a 2058 01:43:52,787 --> 01:43:58,187 Speaker 27: very usual thing in sport. But we've had, you know, 2059 01:43:58,307 --> 01:44:01,067 Speaker 27: as a league, serious issues with thunderstorms in the past, 2060 01:44:01,187 --> 01:44:06,187 Speaker 27: so they're just trying to mitigate that risk there, and 2061 01:44:06,707 --> 01:44:10,147 Speaker 27: there was big threats of storms this afternoon in the area, 2062 01:44:10,307 --> 01:44:13,507 Speaker 27: so they want to make sure everyone's safe and so 2063 01:44:13,627 --> 01:44:16,667 Speaker 27: they ended up bringing it forward, which it all in 2064 01:44:16,827 --> 01:44:19,107 Speaker 27: all worked out quite well with the wind because as 2065 01:44:19,147 --> 01:44:21,907 Speaker 27: soon as that we finished racing, it actually fully died out, 2066 01:44:22,067 --> 01:44:26,787 Speaker 27: so hopefully it made some good rewatching. But yes, I 2067 01:44:26,827 --> 01:44:29,347 Speaker 27: think it's through a spinner in the works for everyone. 2068 01:44:29,827 --> 01:44:31,867 Speaker 3: Well, race three you finished on a high for the 2069 01:44:31,947 --> 01:44:34,987 Speaker 3: first time in sol GP racing history. You lapped the 2070 01:44:35,307 --> 01:44:37,787 Speaker 3: entire fleet. Can you talk us through Race three? 2071 01:44:40,667 --> 01:44:43,827 Speaker 27: Well, it's pretty far on for me in those conditions. Actually, 2072 01:44:43,907 --> 01:44:48,787 Speaker 27: I ended up grinding, so they take the two big 2073 01:44:48,867 --> 01:44:50,747 Speaker 27: guys off at the front and I end up quite 2074 01:44:50,867 --> 01:44:55,227 Speaker 27: hid down, which is it's quite funny, but I didn't 2075 01:44:55,387 --> 01:44:58,987 Speaker 27: really know to be honest, that we'd lapped everyone until 2076 01:45:00,347 --> 01:45:03,747 Speaker 27: quite well after the race. I think in those conditions 2077 01:45:03,787 --> 01:45:07,107 Speaker 27: we're always just looking for wind and focusing on on 2078 01:45:07,307 --> 01:45:09,467 Speaker 27: where there's clear air and how we can keep foiling. 2079 01:45:09,587 --> 01:45:13,587 Speaker 27: But yeah, it's pretty I'm about to rewatch the racing 2080 01:45:13,667 --> 01:45:17,107 Speaker 27: now and pretty excited to look back on it. 2081 01:45:17,307 --> 01:45:19,707 Speaker 3: We need to we need to get your grinding more often. 2082 01:45:19,747 --> 01:45:22,507 Speaker 3: Then it's clearly the secret, the secret to lapping the field. 2083 01:45:24,467 --> 01:45:25,547 Speaker 2: Yes, we'll see about that. 2084 01:45:25,667 --> 01:45:28,147 Speaker 27: It was dearly. I wouldn't say it was all luck 2085 01:45:28,187 --> 01:45:30,067 Speaker 27: out there, but it was you know, you get on 2086 01:45:30,307 --> 01:45:33,787 Speaker 27: days like today you need a bit of luck, and yeah, 2087 01:45:34,027 --> 01:45:35,427 Speaker 27: obviously got a bit of it in that race. 2088 01:45:35,947 --> 01:45:38,667 Speaker 3: And what happened in race two? Was it just a 2089 01:45:38,827 --> 01:45:41,147 Speaker 3: poor race all round? Was there an air near the start? 2090 01:45:41,187 --> 01:45:42,067 Speaker 3: What happened in race two? 2091 01:45:44,147 --> 01:45:49,227 Speaker 27: Yeah, a mix. It's so we're racing in the Hudson here, 2092 01:45:49,347 --> 01:45:52,507 Speaker 27: which is, you know, a river, and with that comes 2093 01:45:52,867 --> 01:45:56,427 Speaker 27: huge tidal flows. So I'm not sure of what you 2094 01:45:56,547 --> 01:45:59,747 Speaker 27: can and can't see on the broadcast, but we're basically, 2095 01:46:00,227 --> 01:46:03,547 Speaker 27: you know, motoring with our chase boat is nearly as 2096 01:46:03,587 --> 01:46:06,267 Speaker 27: fast as we can trying to go against the tie. 2097 01:46:06,547 --> 01:46:09,347 Speaker 27: Then we get released and come into the start box, 2098 01:46:09,507 --> 01:46:13,187 Speaker 27: but because it's the wind is so up and down 2099 01:46:13,307 --> 01:46:19,107 Speaker 27: and it's really hard to forecast and kind of see 2100 01:46:19,787 --> 01:46:23,027 Speaker 27: that kind of throws the whole start box is not 2101 01:46:23,107 --> 01:46:26,027 Speaker 27: a lucky dip, but it's a lot more random, i'd 2102 01:46:26,107 --> 01:46:28,707 Speaker 27: say than were used to. So we just got on 2103 01:46:28,747 --> 01:46:30,707 Speaker 27: the back foot there a bit, and then that just 2104 01:46:31,547 --> 01:46:33,787 Speaker 27: accumulated throughout the race. We did have a lot of 2105 01:46:33,827 --> 01:46:38,907 Speaker 27: opportunities to come back, but yeah, unfortunately didn't capitalize on them. 2106 01:46:38,987 --> 01:46:43,267 Speaker 27: So it's something we'll review tonight and yeah, hopefully build 2107 01:46:43,347 --> 01:46:43,987 Speaker 27: on for tomorrow. 2108 01:46:44,427 --> 01:46:46,387 Speaker 3: And we've heard a lot over the last couple of 2109 01:46:46,467 --> 01:46:48,307 Speaker 3: regattas or last two or three, think it was about 2110 01:46:48,307 --> 01:46:50,147 Speaker 3: the new T foils, But were you back on the 2111 01:46:50,427 --> 01:46:53,667 Speaker 3: L foils the previous foils for this one. 2112 01:46:54,307 --> 01:47:01,307 Speaker 27: Yes, yeah, so it's yeah, it's been a bit like 2113 01:47:01,467 --> 01:47:03,947 Speaker 27: riding a bike for most of the fleet, to be honest. 2114 01:47:04,187 --> 01:47:10,667 Speaker 27: We are waiting on the new lightier tfoils, which should 2115 01:47:10,747 --> 01:47:15,987 Speaker 27: come online later in the season. But yes, the forecast 2116 01:47:16,027 --> 01:47:20,347 Speaker 27: for this weekend was to be super light and very variable, 2117 01:47:20,467 --> 01:47:24,307 Speaker 27: very unknown, so they decided to go with the OWL foils, 2118 01:47:24,427 --> 01:47:30,187 Speaker 27: which basically just have a bigger surface area across them, 2119 01:47:30,347 --> 01:47:33,747 Speaker 27: which helps to give more lift to the boat, so 2120 01:47:33,787 --> 01:47:37,627 Speaker 27: a higher chance of foiling in lighter air. So they 2121 01:47:37,707 --> 01:47:40,227 Speaker 27: really want to you know, get obviously the boat's up 2122 01:47:40,267 --> 01:47:43,347 Speaker 27: and foiling for you know, some great racing, and that's 2123 01:47:43,507 --> 01:47:45,987 Speaker 27: where they thought was you know, the best decision for 2124 01:47:46,067 --> 01:47:46,587 Speaker 27: this weekend. 2125 01:47:46,947 --> 01:47:49,067 Speaker 3: And it's been a while since you've been racing, hasn't it, 2126 01:47:49,507 --> 01:47:52,867 Speaker 3: you know, with an unscheduled break. I think the last 2127 01:47:52,947 --> 01:47:55,427 Speaker 3: time you raced was in March. How much did you 2128 01:47:55,547 --> 01:47:57,307 Speaker 3: enjoy actually being back out there competing. 2129 01:47:59,747 --> 01:48:03,547 Speaker 27: Yeah, I mean it's definitely been a while between drinks, 2130 01:48:03,627 --> 01:48:08,267 Speaker 27: that's for sure, but it's I mean it almost feels 2131 01:48:08,307 --> 01:48:10,627 Speaker 27: like no time has passed once we're back on the water. 2132 01:48:10,947 --> 01:48:13,907 Speaker 27: I think we as a team, we really love New York, 2133 01:48:14,027 --> 01:48:16,867 Speaker 27: so everyone was really excited to get back here, and 2134 01:48:17,067 --> 01:48:21,867 Speaker 27: we've been doing a lot of work between events as 2135 01:48:21,947 --> 01:48:24,027 Speaker 27: a team. We've done actually a lot of you know, 2136 01:48:24,387 --> 01:48:27,427 Speaker 27: mental skills side stuff, which has been really interesting. So 2137 01:48:27,587 --> 01:48:30,507 Speaker 27: it's it's been quite a big break, but it's also 2138 01:48:30,627 --> 01:48:36,387 Speaker 27: given us opportunities to look into new areas and experience 2139 01:48:36,707 --> 01:48:39,947 Speaker 27: different things as a team, which will hopefully make us 2140 01:48:40,027 --> 01:48:41,067 Speaker 27: stronger in the long run. 2141 01:48:42,547 --> 01:48:45,427 Speaker 3: Always enjoy chatting with your live thanks for making yourself available. 2142 01:48:45,467 --> 01:48:47,307 Speaker 3: All the best on day two.

Love love Mackay straightast on 2145 01:48:53,027 --> 01:48:55,107 Speaker 3: the Black Foils and grind up by the sounds of 2146 01:48:55,147 --> 01:48:57,827 Speaker 3: things this morning on Ards and River. So New Zealander fourth, 2147 01:48:58,347 --> 01:49:02,307 Speaker 3: but just one point between fourth and second. Three more 2148 01:49:02,347 --> 01:49:05,027 Speaker 3: fleet races and then the top three go into the finals. 2149 01:49:05,147 --> 01:49:07,627 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I said earlier in the show, 2150 01:49:07,667 --> 01:49:10,107 Speaker 3: I expected this all to be happening at seven thirty 2151 01:49:10,187 --> 01:49:12,507 Speaker 3: this morning, but as Live outline there, they had to 2152 01:49:12,547 --> 01:49:16,507 Speaker 3: bring it forward because of the impending storm. Hopefully they 2153 01:49:16,507 --> 01:49:18,867 Speaker 3: won't be the case tomorrow. Three more fleet races from 2154 01:49:19,267 --> 01:49:21,907 Speaker 3: seven thirty tomorrow morning, New Zealand time, and then the 2155 01:49:21,947 --> 01:49:25,627 Speaker 3: top three go into the into the final. Look forward 2156 01:49:25,627 --> 01:49:28,267 Speaker 3: to that twenty four to three. Let's take a break 2157 01:49:28,307 --> 01:49:29,667 Speaker 3: when we come back, Ash, you'll be an early start 2158 01:49:29,707 --> 01:49:32,587 Speaker 3: tomorrow to watch that if you want to, or and 2159 01:49:32,987 --> 01:49:35,587 Speaker 3: or to watch Ryan Fox in action because he has 2160 01:49:36,147 --> 01:49:40,187 Speaker 3: a share of the fifty four whole lead at the 2161 01:49:40,267 --> 01:49:44,427 Speaker 3: Canadian Open in Ontario. He'll tee off tomorrow in the final, 2162 01:49:44,547 --> 01:49:50,827 Speaker 3: pairing alongside Italian Mateo Manaicero. At five forty five, He's 2163 01:49:50,907 --> 01:49:55,027 Speaker 3: had three terrific rounds in Ontario. Can he make it 2164 01:49:55,067 --> 01:49:58,307 Speaker 3: a fourth and can he win a second PGA Tour 2165 01:49:58,427 --> 01:50:01,347 Speaker 3: title in the space of a month. These are all 2166 01:50:01,467 --> 01:50:03,987 Speaker 3: very good questions. I'll pose a couple of them to 2167 01:50:04,227 --> 01:50:06,227 Speaker 3: Phil tato Angi when we come back here on New 2168 01:50:06,387 --> 01:50:07,707 Speaker 3: Talks HEADB the. 2169 01:50:07,787 --> 01:50:11,347 Speaker 1: Tough Questions off the turf Weekends for It with Jason 2170 01:50:11,427 --> 01:50:15,307 Speaker 1: Kine and GJ.

Of course, last month, 2179 01:50:36,307 --> 01:50:39,187 Speaker 3: he won the Myrtle Beach Classic title in a playoff, 2180 01:50:39,667 --> 01:50:42,267 Speaker 3: and after back to back four under sixty six's in 2181 01:50:42,307 --> 01:50:45,507 Speaker 3: the first two rounds, he today shot are six under 2182 01:50:45,587 --> 01:50:48,507 Speaker 3: sixty four in the third round to take a share 2183 01:50:48,667 --> 01:50:51,587 Speaker 3: of the fifty four hole lead.

Phil tartod 2187 01:51:03,587 --> 01:51:05,787 Speaker 3: Angi is another member of the very select group of 2188 01:51:05,867 --> 01:51:08,187 Speaker 3: kiwis to of one on the PGA two. He joins us, Now, 2189 01:51:08,507 --> 01:51:11,867 Speaker 3: can we make that correlation, Phil? Can we correlate Ryan's 2190 01:51:11,907 --> 01:51:15,507 Speaker 3: good form since winning at Myrtle Beach with getting that 2191 01:51:15,667 --> 01:51:16,587 Speaker 3: monkey offers back? 2192 01:51:17,987 --> 01:51:19,587 Speaker 19: I think that had something to do with a pony. 2193 01:51:20,587 --> 01:51:23,267 Speaker 19: When you've got a goal that's been a lifelong goal 2194 01:51:24,547 --> 01:51:29,867 Speaker 19: and you managed to tick that box off, there's there 2195 01:51:29,947 --> 01:51:31,467 Speaker 19: is that resetting of the goals. And I think we 2196 01:51:31,587 --> 01:51:35,747 Speaker 19: talked about that a little bit immediately after all right 2197 01:51:35,787 --> 01:51:38,147 Speaker 19: when he was about to win the Middle Beach was 2198 01:51:38,747 --> 01:51:43,307 Speaker 19: potentially having to reset the you know, the targets for 2199 01:51:43,507 --> 01:51:48,947 Speaker 19: this season. But I think the for Ryan, what has 2200 01:51:49,107 --> 01:51:51,747 Speaker 19: suddenly been consistent throughout his career is that when he 2201 01:51:51,907 --> 01:51:55,147 Speaker 19: finds for when he finds a little bit of confidence, 2202 01:51:55,187 --> 01:51:59,067 Speaker 19: when he finds a little something with his putter, he 2203 01:51:59,227 --> 01:52:01,787 Speaker 19: tends to ride that wave for a number of weeks. 2204 01:52:02,187 --> 01:52:05,427 Speaker 19: And so we've seen that throughout the years, and I 2205 01:52:05,507 --> 01:52:07,707 Speaker 19: think that's at a batch that he's in right now. 2206 01:52:08,547 --> 01:52:11,747 Speaker 3: Can you notice a difference if you watch him. Can 2207 01:52:11,827 --> 01:52:14,307 Speaker 3: you notice a difference on the way that he's walk 2208 01:52:14,387 --> 01:52:18,627 Speaker 3: around the golf course approaching his parts, his other shots? 2209 01:52:18,707 --> 01:52:20,667 Speaker 3: Can you physically notice a difference. 2210 01:52:21,987 --> 01:52:26,987 Speaker 19: I only just fractionally. I don't know Ryan well enough. 2211 01:52:27,027 --> 01:52:28,467 Speaker 19: When I say I don't know him well enough. I'm 2212 01:52:28,467 --> 01:52:30,507 Speaker 19: not there with him every day, and I don't know 2213 01:52:30,587 --> 01:52:35,107 Speaker 19: him as well as his coaches. But what he does 2214 01:52:35,227 --> 01:52:40,467 Speaker 19: exceptionally well is for the most part, keep himself pretty 2215 01:52:40,507 --> 01:52:43,507 Speaker 19: even keeled, doesn't get too high, doesn't get too low. 2216 01:52:44,307 --> 01:52:48,747 Speaker 19: And that's the sort of mindset that keeps you, you know, 2217 01:52:49,747 --> 01:52:52,947 Speaker 19: a on top of your game even when you're when 2218 01:52:52,947 --> 01:52:55,067 Speaker 19: you've got a few troubles, when you've got a few issues. 2219 01:52:55,507 --> 01:52:58,027 Speaker 19: But it also means that you can ride that wave. 2220 01:52:58,187 --> 01:53:02,667 Speaker 19: You don't actually exhaust yourself with too much energy. And 2221 01:53:03,187 --> 01:53:07,347 Speaker 19: I think for Ryan, he's got a better job thus 2222 01:53:07,467 --> 01:53:11,467 Speaker 19: far of managing his schedule this year. He hasn't tried 2223 01:53:11,507 --> 01:53:15,027 Speaker 19: to overplay. And maybe we saw that this week. He 2224 01:53:15,107 --> 01:53:17,507 Speaker 19: had the opportunity of not being in the US Opening, 2225 01:53:18,067 --> 01:53:21,667 Speaker 19: going through the City six hole qualifier after a long 2226 01:53:21,707 --> 01:53:24,947 Speaker 19: week last week at the Memorial, and he says, you 2227 01:53:24,987 --> 01:53:26,867 Speaker 19: know what, I'm just going to back myself to finish 2228 01:53:26,907 --> 01:53:28,867 Speaker 19: inside the top three, which would be the last three 2229 01:53:28,907 --> 01:53:31,627 Speaker 19: spots to get into their US Open in similar sort 2230 01:53:31,627 --> 01:53:33,387 Speaker 19: of fashion to the way he got in the PGA. 2231 01:53:34,307 --> 01:53:37,347 Speaker 19: And that's maturity, that's a knowing, that's a little confidence, 2232 01:53:37,467 --> 01:53:41,267 Speaker 19: that's a little bit of a of winning earlier in 2233 01:53:41,347 --> 01:53:43,747 Speaker 19: the season, of playing nicely that you can just back 2234 01:53:43,867 --> 01:53:47,307 Speaker 19: your form and look, if he doesn't get it done tomorrow, 2235 01:53:48,067 --> 01:53:51,027 Speaker 19: finishes inside the top three, he goes into the season 2236 01:53:51,227 --> 01:53:54,587 Speaker 19: third major, continuing that wave of fawn that he's had 2237 01:53:54,627 --> 01:53:55,627 Speaker 19: over the last couple of months. 2238 01:53:56,147 --> 01:53:57,747 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's in pretty good shape. He had a 2239 01:53:57,867 --> 01:54:00,947 Speaker 3: really good front nine, five birdies on his front nine 2240 01:54:00,987 --> 01:54:03,387 Speaker 3: to be five under at the turn. Would he have 2241 01:54:03,507 --> 01:54:05,587 Speaker 3: been in any way disappointed not to pick up more 2242 01:54:05,627 --> 01:54:06,907 Speaker 3: than one shot on a back nine? 2243 01:54:06,947 --> 01:54:10,107 Speaker 19: Do you think I only saw a couple of couple 2244 01:54:10,147 --> 01:54:13,027 Speaker 19: of shots of his earlier today And listening to the 2245 01:54:13,347 --> 01:54:17,827 Speaker 19: CBS crew they talk about his game, they you know, 2246 01:54:18,027 --> 01:54:20,107 Speaker 19: it was a very cruisy. It was a third year 2247 01:54:20,227 --> 01:54:23,707 Speaker 19: sixty four, let's put it that way. Felt like that 2248 01:54:23,907 --> 01:54:26,627 Speaker 19: he left a few out there, and so a couple 2249 01:54:26,667 --> 01:54:31,027 Speaker 19: of short parts missed, birdie parts missed. But that's the 2250 01:54:31,067 --> 01:54:33,467 Speaker 19: sort of stuff that I was trying to describe there. 2251 01:54:33,787 --> 01:54:36,307 Speaker 19: Your previous question is that he tends to put that 2252 01:54:36,427 --> 01:54:37,267 Speaker 19: stuff behind him. 2253 01:54:37,307 --> 01:54:39,507 Speaker 7: Well, he doesn't labor on it. 2254 01:54:40,067 --> 01:54:41,747 Speaker 23: And although that could have. 2255 01:54:41,787 --> 01:54:45,067 Speaker 19: Been sixty twos, you know, sixty one might have opened 2256 01:54:45,147 --> 01:54:49,067 Speaker 19: up a few shots lead. He knows his games in 2257 01:54:49,147 --> 01:54:52,147 Speaker 19: good shape when it's there or thereabouts, he still makes 2258 01:54:52,187 --> 01:54:56,027 Speaker 19: a lot of mistakes because that's his sort of game. 2259 01:54:56,067 --> 01:54:59,107 Speaker 19: He likes to attack, he likes to play very aggressively, 2260 01:54:59,227 --> 01:55:02,507 Speaker 19: and that's his that's his strength, certainly with the big sick. 2261 01:55:03,187 --> 01:55:06,067 Speaker 19: And so the part and parcel of that is that, yeah, 2262 01:55:06,347 --> 01:55:08,307 Speaker 19: put it in the gunnery every now and then, make 2263 01:55:08,347 --> 01:55:10,707 Speaker 19: a couple of bogies, like miss the carp shots, but 2264 01:55:10,827 --> 01:55:14,147 Speaker 19: it's because I'm trying to make them up. And that's 2265 01:55:14,187 --> 01:55:15,947 Speaker 19: what wins your GOT tournaments. At the end of the day. 2266 01:55:16,027 --> 01:55:20,227 Speaker 19: You tend not to these this day and age, with 2267 01:55:20,787 --> 01:55:22,907 Speaker 19: as deep as the fields are, as talented as the 2268 01:55:22,987 --> 01:55:26,507 Speaker 19: competition is, you can't back yourself until win. You've got 2269 01:55:26,587 --> 01:55:28,227 Speaker 19: to go and make make it. You've got to go 2270 01:55:28,307 --> 01:55:31,107 Speaker 19: and play the shots when it counts coming down the stretch. 2271 01:55:31,147 --> 01:55:34,067 Speaker 19: And now and then trying to pull a couple of 2272 01:55:34,107 --> 01:55:36,907 Speaker 19: those off, you might stub your toe. And it's just 2273 01:55:37,067 --> 01:55:39,067 Speaker 19: part and past of trying to win golf tournaments. And 2274 01:55:39,187 --> 01:55:41,667 Speaker 19: Ryan does a really good job of keeping the pedal 2275 01:55:41,707 --> 01:55:45,307 Speaker 19: to the meddle and Halden meddles as if he goes 2276 01:55:45,347 --> 01:55:47,627 Speaker 19: out and shoots another low round tomorrow, if it's good enough, 2277 01:55:47,667 --> 01:55:51,587 Speaker 19: it's good enough. If not, he he'll continue to play himself. 2278 01:55:52,107 --> 01:55:54,267 Speaker 19: And there's some really good nick heading into the US Open. 2279 01:55:54,867 --> 01:55:57,267 Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll have to chase Berdies tomorrow when he phil 2280 01:55:57,347 --> 01:56:00,507 Speaker 3: because I mean a lot of players are shooting sub sixty, 2281 01:56:01,067 --> 01:56:03,667 Speaker 3: you know. The I think the top eight or nine 2282 01:56:03,867 --> 01:56:06,107 Speaker 3: golfers might have been more have all been under sixty 2283 01:56:06,147 --> 01:56:09,267 Speaker 3: in all three rounds. Even par won't be good enough tomorrow, 2284 01:56:09,347 --> 01:56:09,587 Speaker 3: will it. 2285 01:56:10,787 --> 01:56:14,787 Speaker 19: I wouldn't think so. Conditions look like they're very scorable, 2286 01:56:15,107 --> 01:56:17,747 Speaker 19: and the golf courses. 2287 01:56:19,027 --> 01:56:19,907 Speaker 14: It's fair and middling. 2288 01:56:19,947 --> 01:56:23,347 Speaker 19: It's not of you that they've gone to often. So 2289 01:56:23,467 --> 01:56:29,907 Speaker 19: the Canadian Open it's not quite as treacherous they ten 2290 01:56:30,027 --> 01:56:32,427 Speaker 19: with the Canadian Open having the state the last few years, 2291 01:56:32,427 --> 01:56:34,667 Speaker 19: they've tried to set it up like a US Open, 2292 01:56:34,827 --> 01:56:38,867 Speaker 19: so you maybe ten underwins, try and keep the scores down. 2293 01:56:38,947 --> 01:56:40,827 Speaker 19: But this one looks like it's giving up a little 2294 01:56:40,827 --> 01:56:44,987 Speaker 19: bit more scoring than in year's past. And so the 2295 01:56:45,067 --> 01:56:48,307 Speaker 19: mindset past seventy two though pinting, So you're seeing guys 2296 01:56:48,307 --> 01:56:51,227 Speaker 19: shoot in the sixties and not quite ending up to 2297 01:56:51,387 --> 01:56:55,187 Speaker 19: quite as deep underpar. But I think the mindset tomorrow 2298 01:56:55,387 --> 01:57:00,587 Speaker 19: is that it maybe first to eighteen, maybe nineteen. It 2299 01:57:00,667 --> 01:57:05,027 Speaker 19: might require something like that because the him and Manaceero 2300 01:57:05,107 --> 01:57:07,027 Speaker 19: at the top is a handful of others within a 2301 01:57:07,107 --> 01:57:09,387 Speaker 19: couple of shots as well. And so someone's going to 2302 01:57:09,427 --> 01:57:11,947 Speaker 19: go out and shoot sixty five tomorrow, you can guarantee it. 2303 01:57:13,267 --> 01:57:15,867 Speaker 19: If he shoots somewhere around that number, he may. 2304 01:57:15,827 --> 01:57:17,507 Speaker 9: Well be lost in his second. 2305 01:57:17,307 --> 01:57:20,067 Speaker 3: Trophy of AVJ Joe, I can't wait. It's going to 2306 01:57:20,107 --> 01:57:22,427 Speaker 3: be an early start for us all five forty five 2307 01:57:22,467 --> 01:57:25,307 Speaker 3: tomorrow morning when he teas off watching him negotiate his 2308 01:57:25,387 --> 01:57:27,347 Speaker 3: final round.

This is what I feel, say scorable, this 2326 01:58:15,547 --> 01:58:20,427 Speaker 3: course is very scorable. Sixty six, sixty six, sixty four. 2327 01:58:21,667 --> 01:58:23,067 Speaker 3: Like I say, if you go all the way down 2328 01:58:23,147 --> 01:58:30,267 Speaker 3: to the golfers who are tied for ninth, almost without exception, 2329 01:58:31,067 --> 01:58:35,707 Speaker 3: they have gone under seventy in three straight rounds. There's 2330 01:58:35,747 --> 01:58:39,827 Speaker 3: been a couple of sixty two's, a sixty three, a 2331 01:58:39,987 --> 01:58:44,427 Speaker 3: sixty one. Christobal del Sola shot us sixty one on 2332 01:58:44,507 --> 01:58:46,787 Speaker 3: the first day, but then a seventy one on the second, 2333 01:58:46,827 --> 01:58:49,427 Speaker 3: so it kind of almost undid all of us good work. 2334 01:58:49,467 --> 01:58:53,627 Speaker 3: But this is scorable, very scorable. And so there's a 2335 01:58:53,627 --> 01:58:55,587 Speaker 3: few more birdies coming in the way of Ryan Fox, 2336 01:58:55,627 --> 01:58:58,547 Speaker 3: and who knows, who knows, maybe we are celebrating a 2337 01:58:58,707 --> 01:59:03,547 Speaker 3: second PGA Tour victory and just under a month for 2338 01:59:03,707 --> 01:59:07,307 Speaker 3: Ryan Fox. Exciting times. He's going to finish with some tennis. 2339 01:59:07,347 --> 01:59:09,907 Speaker 3: Coco Goff one who made in French Open women's singles title, 2340 01:59:10,267 --> 01:59:12,707 Speaker 3: battling from a set down to beat Arena Sabalink at 2341 01:59:12,707 --> 01:59:15,067 Speaker 3: the top seed and the final in Paris Golf won 2342 01:59:15,187 --> 01:59:18,587 Speaker 3: six seven six two six two sorry six two six 2343 01:59:18,867 --> 01:59:21,187 Speaker 3: four and two and a half hours to her second 2344 01:59:21,267 --> 01:59:24,947 Speaker 3: Korea Grand Slam. She is the first American woman to 2345 01:59:25,107 --> 01:59:29,587 Speaker 3: capture the singles title at Roland Garross since Serena Williams 2346 01:59:29,627 --> 01:59:32,667 Speaker 3: did it in twenty fifteen. And conditions weren't that great 2347 01:59:32,707 --> 01:59:33,467 Speaker 3: for Cocoa Golf. 2348 01:59:33,987 --> 01:59:37,107 Speaker 24: Yeah, it was not a day for a great tennis. Honestly, 2349 01:59:37,387 --> 01:59:39,387 Speaker 24: I don't know too many people that could play great 2350 01:59:39,427 --> 01:59:41,907 Speaker 24: tennis today, But you know, it's part of the sport 2351 01:59:41,987 --> 01:59:43,987 Speaker 24: and part of playing outside. You just don't know what 2352 01:59:44,107 --> 01:59:45,747 Speaker 24: Dick's back, especially in Paris. 2353 01:59:46,107 --> 01:59:49,707 Speaker 3: Cocoa Goff said afterwards, though she really wanted this title. 2354 01:59:49,547 --> 01:59:52,027 Speaker 24: Obviously, I think the first one was maybe more emotional, 2355 01:59:52,147 --> 01:59:54,227 Speaker 24: but I think this one was just harder because you know, 2356 01:59:54,307 --> 01:59:56,627 Speaker 24: you win wine and you just don't want to get 2357 01:59:56,707 --> 01:59:59,427 Speaker 24: satisfied with just that one. So it was very difficult 2358 01:59:59,467 --> 02:00:01,507 Speaker 24: to match up. And I also felt like this one 2359 02:00:01,827 --> 02:00:03,627 Speaker 24: was one I really wanted because I do think this 2360 02:00:04,147 --> 02:00:06,267 Speaker 24: was one of the tournaments that when I was younger, 2361 02:00:06,427 --> 02:00:08,187 Speaker 24: that I felt that I had the best shot of winning. 2362 02:00:08,267 --> 02:00:09,907 Speaker 24: So I just felt like if I went through my 2363 02:00:09,987 --> 02:00:11,627 Speaker 24: career and didn't get at least one of these, I 2364 02:00:11,627 --> 02:00:14,947 Speaker 24: would fill regrets and stuff. So today playing Irena was 2365 02:00:15,067 --> 02:00:16,587 Speaker 24: just like, I just got to go for it and 2366 02:00:16,947 --> 02:00:19,267 Speaker 24: try my best to get through the match, and yeah, 2367 02:00:19,347 --> 02:00:19,867 Speaker 24: that's what I did. 2368 02:00:20,027 --> 02:00:22,307 Speaker 3: And Cauco Goff believes it came down to shar will 2369 02:00:22,467 --> 02:00:24,587 Speaker 3: power in what were very tough conditions. 2370 02:00:24,747 --> 02:00:26,707 Speaker 24: Yeah, it was super tough, and I walked on the 2371 02:00:26,747 --> 02:00:28,787 Speaker 24: court and felt the win because we warmed up with 2372 02:00:28,867 --> 02:00:30,547 Speaker 24: the roof closed. I was like, this is gonna be 2373 02:00:30,627 --> 02:00:32,587 Speaker 24: a tough, tough day, and I knew it was just 2374 02:00:32,667 --> 02:00:35,867 Speaker 24: gonna be about willpower and mental and yeah, it really 2375 02:00:35,947 --> 02:00:38,507 Speaker 24: came down to the last few points. But overall, I'm 2376 02:00:38,587 --> 02:00:41,147 Speaker 24: just really happy with the fight that I managed today. 2377 02:00:41,307 --> 02:00:43,387 Speaker 24: Wasn't pretty, but it got the job done and that's 2378 02:00:43,427 --> 02:00:43,987 Speaker 24: all that matters. 2379 02:00:44,107 --> 02:00:45,227 Speaker 3: So that's your friend. 2380 02:00:45,307 --> 02:00:45,467 Speaker 9: Chip. 2381 02:00:45,547 --> 02:00:49,707 Speaker 3: In Women's Singles Champion for twenty twenty five American Coco Golf, 2382 02:00:50,107 --> 02:00:53,227 Speaker 3: the Means final is tonight, mouth watering top two seeds 2383 02:00:53,307 --> 02:00:57,907 Speaker 3: Janick Cinna against Colos Elkarez.
