1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Jason Pie and sports stalk coasters with me right now, pineyy,

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Hello Heather. That was hard viewing the Warriors versus the Storm.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: I meant, I was like, I was sending texts at

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: the start, how good it just stopped it just my phone.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Terrible Saturday for me because I had to watch the

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: Hurricanes lose then get home and didn't get a shred

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: of joy from the Warriors either apart from that first

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen minutes. Yeah, Warriors just find it very

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: hard to beat the Storm. We spoke about it on Friday,

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: didn't we. You know, it had been fifteen games without

11
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: any joy. Now sixteen. It just seems to be an

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: unfeasibly long time. And I'm sure the players themselves would say, look,

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: we don't worry about the history and what's gone before.

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: We just play in front of us. But that seems

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 2: like a very very long time between any any sort

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: of success against against one team. The Storm are a

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: good team, don't get me wrong, the top of the

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: NRL for a reason. But I was just probably, like

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 2: you thought that this was going to be the day

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: that they did snap that streak, but unfortunately it goes on.

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean, is it because the storm are so good

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: at the top of the table, or is there a

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: hoodoo going on here?

24
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: I think the first part of that is, yes, the

25
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: storm are good because the top of the table, or

26
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: are good because that's where they'll find themselves.

27
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: Is there a hohodo? I don't know.

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: I reckon it must play on your mind a little bit,

29
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: especially when it gets tight and you think to yourself, man,

30
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: we just haven't beaten these guys for so long, and

31
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: here we go again. They'll say it doesn't play on

32
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: their minds, but I reckon, I might just sit there

33
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: in the back of them.

34
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: Do you think that Sewan Johnson was convincing, Well.

35
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: That's not convincing now, it's not a convincing answer.

36
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: He hasn't played for four weeks and so you know

37
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: he wasn't.

38
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: Making excuses for him painting.

39
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he'll get better. He'll be better for

40
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: the he'll be better for the run. I hope you'll

41
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: be a lot better against the Titans.

42
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: Okay, So the answer to my question was.

43
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, well he was he didn't. He wasn't the

44
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: Sean Johnson that he was, you know at the back

45
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: end of last year when he was tearing it up.

46
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: Does Webbs put some mighty Martin back in that position.

47
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: No, I think he'll stick with him. I think he's

48
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: shown he's shown loyalty to a lot of players in

49
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: that team, including Sean Johnson. I think he'll leave it

50
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: and the seven Jumper and Martin will stay in the

51
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: sixth year.

52
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: Okay, now, I'll tell you what.

53
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous for the Blues after that performance

54
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: from the Chiefs.

55
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: I think the Blues were gone as favorites. But the

56
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs were good the other day, really good away from home,

57
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: which is what what they have to do if they're

58
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: going to win Super Rugby. The only question mark over

59
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: them is injuries. They they're losing two of their or

60
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: definitely one and probably two of their hookers, a couple

61
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: of other players with question marks hanging over them. The

62
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: Blues fully fit at home, firing, looking really really good.

63
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: I just hope it's a great game. I've got no

64
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: skin in the game anymore. I just hope for a

65
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: terrific game of rugby. But the Blues I think are

66
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: rightful favorites at this point.

67
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: Piney always appreciate talking to you. Thank you so much
