Speaker 2: thanks for your time, mate. Congratulations on the win last night.

5
00:00:18,467 --> 00:00:20,627
Speaker 2: How happy do you think the coaching staff and the

6
00:00:20,627 --> 00:00:23,307
Speaker 2: playing group were with the performance and the result in

7
00:00:23,387 --> 00:00:23,947
Speaker 2: christ Church?

8
00:00:24,587 --> 00:00:27,507
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good. I thought the boys played really

9
00:00:27,507 --> 00:00:30,867
Speaker 3: well and no big occasion done in christ Church and

10
00:00:31,627 --> 00:00:35,547
Speaker 3: also had and Zach last night, so I'm glad that

11
00:00:35,587 --> 00:00:38,507
Speaker 3: the boys are got up last night.

12
00:00:38,587 --> 00:00:43,107
Speaker 2: So yeah, twice this season you've suffered disappointing defeats, first

13
00:00:43,107 --> 00:00:45,507
Speaker 2: game against the Raiders in Vegas, then that lost to

14
00:00:45,547 --> 00:00:48,627
Speaker 2: the Storm, and both times you've bounced back really well.

15
00:00:48,627 --> 00:00:53,187
Speaker 2: What's behind the resilience in this Warriors team.

16
00:00:53,547 --> 00:00:56,387
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just coming down to our trainings,

17
00:00:57,307 --> 00:01:02,067
Speaker 3: no worrying about every day, not just the game. But yeah,

18
00:01:02,107 --> 00:01:05,827
Speaker 3: I think the boys are really training it hard to

19
00:01:05,867 --> 00:01:09,947
Speaker 3: take take over them to the next level. And yeah,

20
00:01:10,147 --> 00:01:10,827
Speaker 3: which is good.

21
00:01:10,867 --> 00:01:15,267
Speaker 2: So yeah, you've got eight tries in nine games against Newcastle.

22
00:01:15,267 --> 00:01:16,507
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you knew that or not, one

23
00:01:16,507 --> 00:01:18,427
Speaker 2: of your favorite opponents. What is it about the Knights

24
00:01:18,467 --> 00:01:19,507
Speaker 2: that you like so much.

25
00:01:21,107 --> 00:01:24,427
Speaker 3: I'm not too sure. Yeah, just been putting myself in

26
00:01:24,507 --> 00:01:28,667
Speaker 3: great positions and who know the boys are you know

27
00:01:28,787 --> 00:01:31,867
Speaker 3: feeding me the tries, so yeah, help put my hand

28
00:01:31,907 --> 00:01:32,387
Speaker 3: up for that.

29
00:01:32,507 --> 00:01:34,907
Speaker 2: Why not? Why not? Do you get equal satisfaction though

30
00:01:34,947 --> 00:01:38,067
Speaker 2: from being involved in tries for others, you know, like you,

31
00:01:38,067 --> 00:01:40,867
Speaker 2: you know, play a pretty key role in Jackson Ford's

32
00:01:40,867 --> 00:01:41,907
Speaker 2: first try last night.

33
00:01:42,667 --> 00:01:47,787
Speaker 3: Yeah, nah, it came up with the obviously the nation

34
00:01:47,907 --> 00:01:52,067
Speaker 3: I'll put up behome born and yeah I went to

35
00:01:52,107 --> 00:01:56,787
Speaker 3: go con contested and yeah, lucky enough that Jacko was

36
00:01:56,787 --> 00:01:59,067
Speaker 3: in the right spot at the right time, so yeah,

37
00:01:59,107 --> 00:01:59,507
Speaker 3: it's good.

38
00:01:59,667 --> 00:02:01,787
Speaker 2: And a couple of tries for him on his fiftieth

39
00:02:02,307 --> 00:02:04,787
Speaker 2: appearance as well, so I guess he probably gets the

40
00:02:04,787 --> 00:02:07,187
Speaker 2: bragging rights afterwards. Does he gets a couple of tries?

41
00:02:07,227 --> 00:02:08,947
Speaker 2: You get a couple of tries he's but he's got

42
00:02:08,947 --> 00:02:10,507
Speaker 2: the louder voice in the changing room.

43
00:02:11,707 --> 00:02:17,067
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, proud to achievement for him, especially for

44
00:02:17,227 --> 00:02:19,587
Speaker 3: the games of the club. It's a big moment. So

45
00:02:19,987 --> 00:02:23,347
Speaker 3: now I'm glad that he got over as well, So yeah,

46
00:02:24,307 --> 00:02:25,667
Speaker 3: be feeling happy about that one.

47
00:02:25,747 --> 00:02:27,387
Speaker 2: I bet, I bet, and you brought up a hundred

48
00:02:27,467 --> 00:02:30,027
Speaker 2: of course games for the club last weekend. How special

49
00:02:30,187 --> 00:02:32,107
Speaker 2: a milestone in a moment was that for you?

50
00:02:32,947 --> 00:02:36,987
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was good, especially having a back in Auckland

51
00:02:37,027 --> 00:02:41,627
Speaker 3: and friends and family came, which was the best feeling.

52
00:02:41,667 --> 00:02:45,627
Speaker 3: And an awesome crowd out there too, so made my

53
00:02:46,347 --> 00:02:49,187
Speaker 3: made my game a bit easier, And yeah it was

54
00:02:49,227 --> 00:02:49,747
Speaker 3: pretty cool.

55
00:02:49,947 --> 00:02:51,627
Speaker 2: You look back on your career with the Warriors, you

56
00:02:51,707 --> 00:02:54,067
Speaker 2: played mainly in the centers, although you know on the

57
00:02:54,107 --> 00:02:56,027
Speaker 2: wing as well, the wing last night, of course, in

58
00:02:56,067 --> 00:02:58,427
Speaker 2: the last two or three games. Is that much of

59
00:02:58,427 --> 00:03:00,067
Speaker 2: a change. How big a change is it from the

60
00:03:00,107 --> 00:03:00,827
Speaker 2: centers to the wing.

61
00:03:02,347 --> 00:03:06,507
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think just more kicking, I guess, and you

62
00:03:06,547 --> 00:03:10,227
Speaker 3: know you're dropping back around fourth and tackle, so yeah,

63
00:03:10,507 --> 00:03:15,667
Speaker 3: just it doesn't take a bit. It's not like as

64
00:03:16,267 --> 00:03:19,867
Speaker 3: no different, but yeah, you're just catching the ball quite

65
00:03:19,907 --> 00:03:24,667
Speaker 3: a lot, which is something I'll put my hand off,

66
00:03:24,667 --> 00:03:26,787
Speaker 3: all know, the wingers job.

67
00:03:26,907 --> 00:03:30,587
Speaker 2: And yeah, how do you reckon? Look, Metcalf's going in

68
00:03:30,587 --> 00:03:31,747
Speaker 2: the seven jersey this year.

69
00:03:32,347 --> 00:03:37,507
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going well, he's backing them each each and

70
00:03:37,627 --> 00:03:41,787
Speaker 3: every day, but he's going really well, filling a spot

71
00:03:41,827 --> 00:03:45,707
Speaker 3: for Shawnee and who know, he's playing a really good

72
00:03:45,707 --> 00:03:46,587
Speaker 3: game this season.

73
00:03:46,667 --> 00:03:49,387
Speaker 2: So without wanting to get to carry away. We're only

74
00:03:49,427 --> 00:03:51,467
Speaker 2: seven games into the season, of course, but if you

75
00:03:51,467 --> 00:03:53,587
Speaker 2: look back a couple of seasons to twenty twenty three,

76
00:03:53,667 --> 00:03:56,227
Speaker 2: we all know how successful that that season was and

77
00:03:56,387 --> 00:03:58,307
Speaker 2: you played a massive part in that. Of course, doesn't

78
00:03:58,347 --> 00:04:00,267
Speaker 2: feel but like twenty twenty three this.

79
00:04:00,307 --> 00:04:08,627
Speaker 3: Year, Uh yeah, I guess so you're like, uh, you

80
00:04:08,747 --> 00:04:12,667
Speaker 3: know that season was the best season that we probably

81
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:16,627
Speaker 3: had in the Jersey, and yeah, we want to go

82
00:04:17,147 --> 00:04:21,507
Speaker 3: further than making the Grand Finals. You know, I'm back

83
00:04:21,547 --> 00:04:22,467
Speaker 3: in us the sharing.

84
00:04:23,787 --> 00:04:27,147
Speaker 2: Yeah, how was the occasion in christ here? Looked awesome

85
00:04:27,147 --> 00:04:29,027
Speaker 2: on TV. How was the occasion there last night?

86
00:04:29,547 --> 00:04:31,707
Speaker 3: Yeah it was good. I had a lot of crowd

87
00:04:31,747 --> 00:04:35,867
Speaker 3: out there, which was pretty cool. No, first time done

88
00:04:35,867 --> 00:04:41,507
Speaker 3: in christ Shir for myself, and yeah, I'm grateful for
