Some incredible insight from lou Vincent tomorrow, 76 00:04:17,787 --> 00:04:21,147 Speaker 3: including what he was required to do as a spot fixer. 77 00:04:21,267 --> 00:04:23,627 Speaker 6: It's topped so much about the winning and losing of 78 00:04:23,667 --> 00:04:25,867 Speaker 6: a game. It's about what's better on and segments of 79 00:04:25,867 --> 00:04:27,867 Speaker 6: the game and sessions of the game. So that was 80 00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:29,987 Speaker 6: certain certainly my role as the opening batsman's to score 81 00:04:29,987 --> 00:04:33,187 Speaker 6: ten to fifteen and get out. But the last game, 82 00:04:33,347 --> 00:04:36,187 Speaker 6: I think it's documented somewhere centaly in the court case 83 00:04:36,227 --> 00:04:37,667 Speaker 6: I was involved. It was, you know, when I was 84 00:04:37,667 --> 00:04:40,467 Speaker 6: supposed to get out, I accidentally Darreth kind of look 85 00:04:40,467 --> 00:04:42,907 Speaker 6: at to miss it get stumped. And I still say 86 00:04:42,907 --> 00:04:44,347 Speaker 6: to this day, I swear to God that ball hit 87 00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:46,547 Speaker 6: a big rock on the pitch and it spun into 88 00:04:46,547 --> 00:04:48,227 Speaker 6: the middle of my back and went over the Umbi's 89 00:04:48,267 --> 00:04:50,627 Speaker 6: head down to long On who stumbled the catch over 90 00:04:50,667 --> 00:04:53,187 Speaker 6: his head for six. So instead of getting out, I 91 00:04:53,267 --> 00:04:56,027 Speaker 6: hit a six. So I wasn't very good at spot fixing. 92 00:04:56,227 --> 00:04:58,027 Speaker 3: Just a snippet of what you'll hear from lou Vincent 93 00:04:58,027 --> 00:05:00,587 Speaker 3: when he joins us after the mid day News tomorrow 94 00:05:00,667 --> 00:05:02,907 Speaker 3: on Weekend Sport.

They obviously here 116 00:06:13,147 --> 00:06:15,707 Speaker 8: you know, and get successfu plans around the All Black 117 00:06:15,747 --> 00:06:19,627 Speaker 8: team and then of the course of the n p 118 00:06:19,867 --> 00:06:23,667 Speaker 8: S when we as a coaching team started checking that 119 00:06:23,787 --> 00:06:26,467 Speaker 8: list plus others in the games within the in can see. 120 00:06:26,947 --> 00:06:29,827 Speaker 8: And then along the way we take on teaching up 121 00:06:29,867 --> 00:06:33,027 Speaker 8: and have them set around. You know, who's informed, who's injured, 122 00:06:33,427 --> 00:06:36,227 Speaker 8: that their original list to the to the final list. 123 00:06:36,467 --> 00:06:41,187 Speaker 8: I would say, you know, over half to teachers remained consistent. 124 00:06:41,267 --> 00:06:44,267 Speaker 8: So the key players in regard to the zem footing 125 00:06:44,347 --> 00:06:46,387 Speaker 8: and in what the all black coaches. 126 00:06:47,067 --> 00:06:48,907 Speaker 2: See as you know, potential all Blacks. 127 00:06:48,947 --> 00:06:51,667 Speaker 8: And then there's a group of guys that have signed 128 00:06:51,707 --> 00:06:55,627 Speaker 8: some form or some some Thomas that we have identified 129 00:06:55,667 --> 00:06:58,587 Speaker 8: in the un it's pretty much that we've made up 130 00:06:58,587 --> 00:06:58,907 Speaker 8: the team. 131 00:06:59,467 --> 00:07:03,467 Speaker 3: When you're selecting younger guys with no international experience, Jamie, 132 00:07:03,507 --> 00:07:05,987 Speaker 3: what are you looking for to give you confidence that 133 00:07:06,067 --> 00:07:08,947 Speaker 3: they are ready and able to take that next step. 134 00:07:09,827 --> 00:07:13,107 Speaker 9: There's a number of things I guess, and as coaches, 135 00:07:13,147 --> 00:07:15,227 Speaker 9: everyone values different things in a player. 136 00:07:15,267 --> 00:07:18,507 Speaker 2: For me, really has to have the potential. 137 00:07:19,547 --> 00:07:23,547 Speaker 9: Mentally and physically, and I can't identify what I see 138 00:07:23,627 --> 00:07:26,307 Speaker 9: as being integral at that level of the game. 139 00:07:26,427 --> 00:07:28,307 Speaker 2: So you know, things like resilience. 140 00:07:28,747 --> 00:07:32,027 Speaker 9: You know, it's more than having a work ethic, and 141 00:07:32,107 --> 00:07:35,547 Speaker 9: it needs to be more instinctive and they can't be coached. 142 00:07:36,467 --> 00:07:38,387 Speaker 9: So those kind of those kind of two attributes to 143 00:07:38,427 --> 00:07:40,387 Speaker 9: the sort of things that I have. And then you 144 00:07:40,467 --> 00:07:41,987 Speaker 9: have the technical technical things. 145 00:07:42,067 --> 00:07:45,507 Speaker 8: You know that that players need to have the ability 146 00:07:45,587 --> 00:07:48,587 Speaker 8: to pick up things really quickly as a. 147 00:07:48,627 --> 00:07:50,387 Speaker 2: Key one, but you don't know that to your coaching. 148 00:07:51,347 --> 00:07:53,027 Speaker 8: And I guess the last one is that you're watching 149 00:07:53,067 --> 00:07:55,667 Speaker 8: maybe players since those players that really anticipate the. 150 00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:58,587 Speaker 9: Game really well tend to tend to be the ones 151 00:07:58,627 --> 00:08:01,027 Speaker 9: that can improve quickly. 152 00:08:01,227 --> 00:08:03,267 Speaker 2: In look, we've got a really sharp tour. 153 00:08:04,067 --> 00:08:06,107 Speaker 9: We don't have a lot of time to come together, 154 00:08:06,187 --> 00:08:07,587 Speaker 9: so that balance is really key. 155 00:08:07,787 --> 00:08:09,147 Speaker 3: At the other end of the scale, and you talk 156 00:08:09,187 --> 00:08:11,627 Speaker 3: about that balance, how important is it to have some 157 00:08:11,947 --> 00:08:14,907 Speaker 3: experienced all blacks in the side like David HARVILLI, like 158 00:08:15,027 --> 00:08:17,467 Speaker 3: Dalton Papaleti there in the squad as well. 159 00:08:18,187 --> 00:08:22,267 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's you know, like we're going over there and 160 00:08:22,427 --> 00:08:24,827 Speaker 9: as soon as you put a black juice on expectations that 161 00:08:24,907 --> 00:08:28,747 Speaker 9: you win, that can that can be a realan center 162 00:08:28,827 --> 00:08:30,907 Speaker 9: for some players and some other players it's just a 163 00:08:30,907 --> 00:08:33,627 Speaker 9: border pressure. So every fellas that have been in those 164 00:08:33,667 --> 00:08:37,987 Speaker 9: situations multiple times is crucial and and I mean you've 165 00:08:37,987 --> 00:08:40,907 Speaker 9: met you mentioned a couple, but there's been a spec 166 00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:43,867 Speaker 9: of those boys in our team that have had had 167 00:08:43,867 --> 00:08:46,387 Speaker 9: some experience at this level. So that's the exciting part. 168 00:08:46,387 --> 00:08:47,707 Speaker 9: I guess as a coaching team. 169 00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:50,667 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of clamor for Otago half back 170 00:08:50,747 --> 00:08:53,347 Speaker 3: Dylan Pledger. A lot of people thought he should have 171 00:08:53,387 --> 00:08:56,067 Speaker 3: been included in your squad. Can you just talk us 172 00:08:56,067 --> 00:08:59,227 Speaker 3: through the reasons why Dylan Pledger hasn't been included? 173 00:09:00,027 --> 00:09:00,267 Speaker 4: Yeah? 174 00:09:00,587 --> 00:09:02,827 Speaker 2: I look, I look at I look at Dylan and go, well, 175 00:09:02,867 --> 00:09:05,427 Speaker 2: what a player quick? 176 00:09:05,467 --> 00:09:09,387 Speaker 9: He's just when he's had his first NPC season, And 177 00:09:09,667 --> 00:09:12,147 Speaker 9: I guess if the conversation is just about Dylan and 178 00:09:12,187 --> 00:09:15,467 Speaker 9: his rateb and his opportunity, then he should be in 179 00:09:15,507 --> 00:09:17,707 Speaker 9: the team. But when when you put him alongside the 180 00:09:17,747 --> 00:09:22,467 Speaker 9: guys that were selecting who's competing with in Fuckatava, Preston 181 00:09:22,547 --> 00:09:25,947 Speaker 9: and Roe and then the boys from the All Blacks, 182 00:09:26,747 --> 00:09:29,507 Speaker 9: I think it's a it's a different context, you know. 183 00:09:29,747 --> 00:09:33,787 Speaker 9: And so he's got plenty of time, he's got a 184 00:09:33,827 --> 00:09:36,107 Speaker 9: whole career in front of him, and these other boys 185 00:09:36,107 --> 00:09:38,107 Speaker 9: have been playing very well as well, so it's just 186 00:09:38,267 --> 00:09:40,747 Speaker 9: it's just a tough competition in that position. 187 00:09:41,027 --> 00:09:43,507 Speaker 3: Just picking up on Fatava, a guy you know well 188 00:09:43,547 --> 00:09:46,547 Speaker 3: of course from coaching him at super level at the Highlanders. 189 00:09:46,747 --> 00:09:51,147 Speaker 3: Does Fatava still have All Blacks ambitions despite now being 190 00:09:51,187 --> 00:09:53,587 Speaker 3: eligible eligible rather to play for Tonga. 191 00:09:55,067 --> 00:09:56,027 Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely. 192 00:09:56,747 --> 00:10:00,587 Speaker 9: I haven't talked specifically to Flower recently about his ambitions, 193 00:10:01,467 --> 00:10:05,227 Speaker 9: but I know the boy well obviously, and there's no 194 00:10:05,267 --> 00:10:07,547 Speaker 9: doubt in my mind that he wants to play at 195 00:10:07,547 --> 00:10:09,107 Speaker 9: the top of the game for you know, one of 196 00:10:09,107 --> 00:10:12,787 Speaker 9: the bit of teams in the world. So All Blacks 197 00:10:11,387 --> 00:10:14,867 Speaker 9: as would be as priority for sure. 198 00:10:15,227 --> 00:10:17,507 Speaker 3: It's a short, sharp tour, just a three games, So 199 00:10:17,867 --> 00:10:20,747 Speaker 3: how will you ensure everyone gets a decent opportunity on 200 00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,187 Speaker 3: this tour? 201 00:10:21,907 --> 00:10:25,907 Speaker 9: Yeah, there's no guarantees said, like one man data is 202 00:10:25,947 --> 00:10:28,507 Speaker 9: to go out there, and you know, as we've sleeped 203 00:10:28,507 --> 00:10:30,107 Speaker 9: to the group of players that we think can go 204 00:10:30,187 --> 00:10:34,187 Speaker 9: over in a short amount of time and perform, there's 205 00:10:34,187 --> 00:10:36,267 Speaker 9: no man dad that everyone has to get a certain 206 00:10:36,307 --> 00:10:39,227 Speaker 9: amount of game time. I mean, we're talking about the 207 00:10:39,227 --> 00:10:40,907 Speaker 9: second best team in the country. 208 00:10:42,107 --> 00:10:43,267 Speaker 2: But we're possible. 209 00:10:43,347 --> 00:10:47,467 Speaker 9: And you mentioned earlier on around the potential four blocks 210 00:10:47,507 --> 00:10:52,347 Speaker 9: to drop down late in the week, and so those 211 00:10:52,387 --> 00:10:54,307 Speaker 9: are the kinds of those are the kinds of things 212 00:10:54,347 --> 00:10:58,187 Speaker 9: that we've got a juggle works as New Zealand fifteen coaches. 213 00:10:58,587 --> 00:11:00,867 Speaker 3: You haven't named your captain yet. When will you do 214 00:11:00,947 --> 00:11:03,507 Speaker 3: that and how will you decide who your captain is? 215 00:11:05,187 --> 00:11:06,227 Speaker 2: There's a few contenders. 216 00:11:06,227 --> 00:11:08,267 Speaker 9: I think there's there's a couple of guys that are 217 00:11:08,667 --> 00:11:11,427 Speaker 9: that are keptaining their provincial sides and so they've got 218 00:11:11,547 --> 00:11:13,067 Speaker 9: you know, confidence that they can lead. 219 00:11:13,707 --> 00:11:16,547 Speaker 2: I guess the big one is who's going to who's going. 220 00:11:16,547 --> 00:11:19,227 Speaker 9: To play all the games and who's got the experience 221 00:11:19,267 --> 00:11:20,747 Speaker 9: to bring the team together quickly. 222 00:11:21,427 --> 00:11:24,267 Speaker 2: Then there's a couple of guys that you mentioned earlier. 223 00:11:23,947 --> 00:11:27,467 Speaker 9: On around around Dalton and David Avelli that have got 224 00:11:27,667 --> 00:11:30,347 Speaker 9: oodles of experience to be able to do that. I'm 225 00:11:30,347 --> 00:11:32,707 Speaker 9: also mindful a lot of those guys have come off 226 00:11:32,747 --> 00:11:35,787 Speaker 9: some pretty big years. You know, they generally if they're 227 00:11:35,827 --> 00:11:39,227 Speaker 9: leaders and super rugby teams or NPC size. 228 00:11:38,867 --> 00:11:39,267 Speaker 2: Then. 229 00:11:40,587 --> 00:11:42,347 Speaker 9: And then this tour might be one where they just 230 00:11:42,387 --> 00:11:44,507 Speaker 9: really focus on, you know, three big games of footy. 231 00:11:44,667 --> 00:11:46,907 Speaker 9: So I'll make that decision when I meet them. I 232 00:11:46,987 --> 00:11:50,267 Speaker 9: haven't met all those players. It's my first season back 233 00:11:50,387 --> 00:11:54,227 Speaker 9: last year, so and we're coming together next week, so 234 00:11:55,187 --> 00:11:57,107 Speaker 9: shortly after that, I'd say and. 235 00:11:57,067 --> 00:11:59,587 Speaker 3: What about for you, Jamie in terms of being asked 236 00:11:59,627 --> 00:12:02,067 Speaker 3: to head coach the side for this year and again 237 00:12:02,587 --> 00:12:05,787 Speaker 3: next year? How easy are yes? Was that for you? 238 00:12:06,827 --> 00:12:08,547 Speaker 2: I had to tell you a bit of thinking. 239 00:12:09,827 --> 00:12:12,747 Speaker 9: Because I've got a I've got a big responsibility around, 240 00:12:13,107 --> 00:12:17,547 Speaker 9: you know, coaching the Highlanders and that's so and that's 241 00:12:17,547 --> 00:12:21,347 Speaker 9: a big job and so yeah, there wasn't It wasn't 242 00:12:21,347 --> 00:12:24,427 Speaker 9: a straightforward opportunity because I'd already committed to another team 243 00:12:24,987 --> 00:12:27,387 Speaker 9: and then this this tour now was you know, we 244 00:12:27,507 --> 00:12:29,707 Speaker 9: come back and we played and we were straight into 245 00:12:29,707 --> 00:12:32,587 Speaker 9: a pre season for the Highlanders, and unlike a lot 246 00:12:32,587 --> 00:12:34,787 Speaker 9: of the other clubs like the Chiefs and the Crusaders, 247 00:12:34,827 --> 00:12:38,107 Speaker 9: the Hurricanes and the Blues, we've only got two current 248 00:12:38,147 --> 00:12:41,347 Speaker 9: All Blacks, so we're those clubs are the majority of 249 00:12:41,387 --> 00:12:43,067 Speaker 9: their players on leave. 250 00:12:43,187 --> 00:12:45,787 Speaker 2: My players all here and Dinheaton ready to go. So 251 00:12:46,227 --> 00:12:47,147 Speaker 2: that took a bit of time. 252 00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:48,707 Speaker 9: I want to make sure that I can do the 253 00:12:48,787 --> 00:12:52,467 Speaker 9: job justice, I felt after a few talks with some 254 00:12:52,547 --> 00:12:54,947 Speaker 9: key people for me and my boss here at the 255 00:12:54,947 --> 00:12:56,587 Speaker 9: Hoighlanders as they were really supportive. 256 00:12:56,707 --> 00:12:58,587 Speaker 2: So yeah, it wasn't straightforward all. 257 00:12:58,547 --> 00:13:02,387 Speaker 3: Right, And just on the Highlanders turning heads everywhere. I 258 00:13:02,427 --> 00:13:04,467 Speaker 3: know it's the MPC side as opposed to the Super 259 00:13:04,547 --> 00:13:07,027 Speaker 3: Rugby side, but a lot of those Otago guys feed 260 00:13:07,027 --> 00:13:11,267 Speaker 3: into your Highlander's side. So has Otago's excellent NPC been 261 00:13:11,547 --> 00:13:14,027 Speaker 3: helpful to you as you plan twenty twenty six with 262 00:13:14,067 --> 00:13:14,707 Speaker 3: the Highlanders? 263 00:13:15,747 --> 00:13:16,627 Speaker 2: Oh no, it's awesome. 264 00:13:16,667 --> 00:13:20,587 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm and Taga Man played for Tago, so Setholman's 265 00:13:20,627 --> 00:13:21,547 Speaker 9: the shield. 266 00:13:21,787 --> 00:13:24,987 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you get a lot of feel good you. 267 00:13:24,947 --> 00:13:27,347 Speaker 9: Know from the younger players, like last year our team 268 00:13:27,427 --> 00:13:29,587 Speaker 9: was ever jag of twenty two. A lot of those players, 269 00:13:30,707 --> 00:13:33,067 Speaker 9: you know, the Tago boys and the Southland boys, and 270 00:13:33,107 --> 00:13:36,347 Speaker 9: so for them to get some to win some games, 271 00:13:36,347 --> 00:13:38,147 Speaker 9: you know, and get a smile on their face, and 272 00:13:38,187 --> 00:13:41,507 Speaker 9: to get confidence that what they're actually doing is paying 273 00:13:41,507 --> 00:13:43,867 Speaker 9: a bit of hearing a bit of fruit is it's 274 00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:45,067 Speaker 9: good for us in the long term. 275 00:13:45,107 --> 00:13:47,347 Speaker 2: So no, it's a good thing to doain here, that's 276 00:13:47,347 --> 00:13:47,667 Speaker 2: for sure. 277 00:13:47,747 --> 00:13:49,867 Speaker 3: Absolutely all right. Jamie, Hey, thanks for joining us, mate, 278 00:13:49,867 --> 00:13:51,987 Speaker 3: all the best on this All Blacks fifteen tour up North. 279 00:13:52,067 --> 00:13:53,267 Speaker 3: Appreciate you taking the time. 280 00:13:53,787 --> 00:13:55,827 Speaker 2: No, awesome, Jason, thanks very much, No, thank. 281 00:13:55,707 --> 00:13:58,467 Speaker 3: You, Jamie, Jamie Joseph. There All Blacks fifteen head coach, 282 00:13:58,547 --> 00:14:01,747 Speaker 3: not just this year but next year as well. Ken 283 00:14:01,787 --> 00:14:03,947 Speaker 3: you hear your thoughts on on the All Blacks fifteen 284 00:14:04,347 --> 00:14:06,907 Speaker 3: oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, it feels to 285 00:14:06,947 --> 00:14:09,947 Speaker 3: me as though the purpose of the All Blacks fifteen 286 00:14:10,307 --> 00:14:15,627 Speaker 3: is threefold. One to expose some up and coming players 287 00:14:15,667 --> 00:14:19,307 Speaker 3: to international rugby, and that brief has certainly been fulfilled. 288 00:14:19,627 --> 00:14:22,027 Speaker 3: When you run your eye down this list, there are 289 00:14:22,547 --> 00:14:26,747 Speaker 3: a lot of guys who have had no international experience 290 00:14:27,107 --> 00:14:30,427 Speaker 3: or very limited international experience, maybe the likes of an 291 00:14:30,427 --> 00:14:33,507 Speaker 3: All Blacks fifteen in years gone by, but certainly not 292 00:14:33,587 --> 00:14:38,067 Speaker 3: All Blacks experience, so to expose them to some international 293 00:14:38,187 --> 00:14:41,387 Speaker 3: rugby and being inside an international environment. Number two to 294 00:14:41,427 --> 00:14:44,907 Speaker 3: be a source of cover if the All Blacks were 295 00:14:44,907 --> 00:14:48,187 Speaker 3: to suffer any injuries, having a thirty man squad in 296 00:14:48,227 --> 00:14:52,347 Speaker 3: the same part of the world would certainly be of 297 00:14:53,307 --> 00:14:57,827 Speaker 3: great advantage to Scott Robertson. If, in fact, one or 298 00:14:57,827 --> 00:14:59,987 Speaker 3: two of his players happen to succumb to injury, and 299 00:15:00,147 --> 00:15:02,787 Speaker 3: history tells us that that will happen, he can easily 300 00:15:02,827 --> 00:15:05,907 Speaker 3: dip into the pall of players in the All Blacks 301 00:15:05,907 --> 00:15:08,227 Speaker 3: fifteen to help boosters numbers. Even if it's just to 302 00:15:08,227 --> 00:15:12,707 Speaker 3: bring somebody in as wide a cover. And the third 303 00:15:12,747 --> 00:15:17,067 Speaker 3: one is to be a place and this is the 304 00:15:17,067 --> 00:15:20,307 Speaker 3: most intriguing to me, where guys in the All Black 305 00:15:20,347 --> 00:15:25,027 Speaker 3: squad can get some game minutes if needed. It would 306 00:15:25,067 --> 00:15:27,867 Speaker 3: not surprise me at all, not one little bit if 307 00:15:28,227 --> 00:15:31,107 Speaker 3: a couple of guys from the All Blacks drop into 308 00:15:31,147 --> 00:15:35,427 Speaker 3: the All Blacks fifteen to get some minutes. Guys who 309 00:15:35,627 --> 00:15:39,227 Speaker 3: have had limited opportunities within the All Blacks up until 310 00:15:39,267 --> 00:15:41,907 Speaker 3: now are in the All Black squad for the Northern 311 00:15:41,947 --> 00:15:45,547 Speaker 3: Tour and might still find themselves down the pecking order 312 00:15:45,587 --> 00:15:48,467 Speaker 3: a little bit, but it's important that they continue to 313 00:15:48,507 --> 00:15:52,907 Speaker 3: play rugby rather than just for the four weeks of 314 00:15:53,027 --> 00:15:56,267 Speaker 3: the Northern Tour just hold tackle bags or run as 315 00:15:56,347 --> 00:15:59,547 Speaker 3: the opposition. And the best example of this is Ruben Love. 316 00:16:00,667 --> 00:16:03,707 Speaker 3: We've heard a lot throughout the year from Scott robertson 317 00:16:03,747 --> 00:16:09,027 Speaker 3: how Ruben Love has been running the opposition in opposed training. 318 00:16:09,147 --> 00:16:11,507 Speaker 3: So he hasn't been in the match day twenty three 319 00:16:12,147 --> 00:16:16,787 Speaker 3: very often, but as the first five in the opponents, 320 00:16:16,787 --> 00:16:21,067 Speaker 3: he basically assumes the personality or assumes the playing style 321 00:16:21,107 --> 00:16:24,467 Speaker 3: of the first five from the team that the All 322 00:16:24,467 --> 00:16:27,227 Speaker 3: Blacks are up against. And that's all well and good, 323 00:16:27,267 --> 00:16:31,467 Speaker 3: and it's a very very valuable way, I'm sure of 324 00:16:31,507 --> 00:16:37,427 Speaker 3: developing yourself. But really, if they are all in on 325 00:16:37,467 --> 00:16:40,067 Speaker 3: Reuben Love as being a first five option for them, 326 00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:43,267 Speaker 3: should that occasion arise, then he has to play some 327 00:16:43,387 --> 00:16:46,827 Speaker 3: first five. He has to actually play some games in 328 00:16:46,827 --> 00:16:50,587 Speaker 3: that position, and it's just something that hasn't been possible 329 00:16:51,067 --> 00:16:55,787 Speaker 3: this year. Hasn't been possible. So it wouldn't surprise me 330 00:16:55,827 --> 00:17:00,587 Speaker 3: at all if Ruben Love drops into the All Blacks fifteen, 331 00:17:00,707 --> 00:17:04,627 Speaker 3: plays a game, one of their three games and then 332 00:17:05,267 --> 00:17:08,707 Speaker 3: maybe even starts the final Test of the year for 333 00:17:08,747 --> 00:17:11,787 Speaker 3: the All Blacks against Wales and Cardiff on the twenty 334 00:17:11,827 --> 00:17:15,267 Speaker 3: third of November, because it would be a big ask, 335 00:17:15,307 --> 00:17:18,387 Speaker 3: wouldn't it to throw him in there in that last Test? 336 00:17:18,467 --> 00:17:20,507 Speaker 3: Or be it against a pretty average Whales side, but 337 00:17:20,747 --> 00:17:23,227 Speaker 3: still a Test match without having had a decent run 338 00:17:23,267 --> 00:17:26,507 Speaker 3: at first five for somebody. So the All Blacks fifteen 339 00:17:26,547 --> 00:17:28,947 Speaker 3: I think serves that purpose as well. Others who haven't 340 00:17:28,987 --> 00:17:30,467 Speaker 3: got much of an opportunity this year for the All 341 00:17:30,507 --> 00:17:34,107 Speaker 3: Blacks may well be in the same boat. And is 342 00:17:34,107 --> 00:17:35,947 Speaker 3: there anyone who isn't there who you thought would be 343 00:17:38,387 --> 00:17:40,667 Speaker 3: oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. I totally get 344 00:17:40,667 --> 00:17:45,227 Speaker 3: the Dylan Pledger rationale that Jamie Joseph just outlined. He's 345 00:17:45,227 --> 00:17:46,747 Speaker 3: got a bit of skin in that game too, hasn't 346 00:17:46,747 --> 00:17:51,907 Speaker 3: he Because he is the Highlanders coach. It probably I'm 347 00:17:51,947 --> 00:17:54,467 Speaker 3: almost certain this hasn't come into his thinking, but it 348 00:17:54,507 --> 00:17:56,587 Speaker 3: does serve his purpose as Highland as coach to have 349 00:17:56,667 --> 00:18:01,107 Speaker 3: Dylan Pledger have a full Super Rugby pre season in 350 00:18:01,227 --> 00:18:04,787 Speaker 3: order to come out firing in February next year if 351 00:18:04,787 --> 00:18:07,907 Speaker 3: he goes away on this or Blacks fifteen tour. I 352 00:18:07,907 --> 00:18:11,067 Speaker 3: think all the players who do, they almost certainly have 353 00:18:11,107 --> 00:18:13,707 Speaker 3: to have a longer standdown. They won't join in pre 354 00:18:13,827 --> 00:18:17,027 Speaker 3: season until a bit later than the others. So yeah, 355 00:18:17,027 --> 00:18:20,107 Speaker 3: for Dylan pledgure he can obviously finish the season stronger 356 00:18:20,147 --> 00:18:22,547 Speaker 3: with Otago and then have a bit of a break 357 00:18:22,587 --> 00:18:25,827 Speaker 3: and then come back for a full Super Rugby preseason 358 00:18:26,187 --> 00:18:28,627 Speaker 3: in the clamor to get guys like him and Lucas 359 00:18:28,627 --> 00:18:33,027 Speaker 3: Casey is the other one sort of elevated relatively quickly. 360 00:18:33,147 --> 00:18:36,387 Speaker 3: We do have to remember they've never played Super Rugby, 361 00:18:36,427 --> 00:18:39,667 Speaker 3: these guys, so to jump from NPC into the All 362 00:18:39,667 --> 00:18:43,187 Speaker 3: Blacks fifteen is a bit of a stretch. Most of 363 00:18:43,187 --> 00:18:47,827 Speaker 3: the other guys in this All Blacks fifteen side. In fact, 364 00:18:47,867 --> 00:18:50,627 Speaker 3: I think all of them have played super rugby, so 365 00:18:50,747 --> 00:18:55,707 Speaker 3: maybe they just decided, you know what, it's not a 366 00:18:55,707 --> 00:19:00,347 Speaker 3: place where we elevate guys beyond where they're playing at 367 00:19:00,387 --> 00:19:03,907 Speaker 3: the moment. Eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty Any 368 00:19:03,947 --> 00:19:06,067 Speaker 3: thoughts on the All Blacks fifteen. The other thing I 369 00:19:06,067 --> 00:19:08,707 Speaker 3: wanted to talk about this hour is the is the 370 00:19:09,667 --> 00:19:13,227 Speaker 3: Greatest Rivalry Tour which was announced yesterday. More on that 371 00:19:13,267 --> 00:19:15,347 Speaker 3: in a sec. But lines are open to talk All 372 00:19:15,387 --> 00:19:18,427 Speaker 3: Blacks fifteen, guys who should be there, who aren't, and 373 00:19:18,467 --> 00:19:21,387 Speaker 3: the purpose of this team. I mean, is there interest 374 00:19:21,387 --> 00:19:24,507 Speaker 3: in it from you? I feel as though you know 375 00:19:24,547 --> 00:19:26,267 Speaker 3: the games are on the same day as the All 376 00:19:26,307 --> 00:19:28,867 Speaker 3: Blacks Tests. They are a nice little curtain razor each 377 00:19:28,947 --> 00:19:31,587 Speaker 3: time to the Island, Scotland and England Test matches. But 378 00:19:32,347 --> 00:19:34,707 Speaker 3: it feels to me like I say that the purpose 379 00:19:34,747 --> 00:19:37,267 Speaker 3: of the team is something other than just going up 380 00:19:37,307 --> 00:19:39,547 Speaker 3: there to win games of rugby. I want to win, 381 00:19:40,107 --> 00:19:42,267 Speaker 3: but there are other purposes that play here as well. 382 00:19:42,387 --> 00:19:44,107 Speaker 3: Twelve twenty seven it's open the lines A eight one 383 00:19:44,147 --> 00:19:46,827 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty back with your calls after. 384 00:19:46,627 --> 00:19:51,827 Speaker 1: This one grudge hold en Gage Weekend Sport with Jason 385 00:19:51,867 --> 00:19:52,947 Speaker 1: Pain and TJ. 386 00:19:53,107 --> 00:19:54,307 Speaker 7: Gugner, Homes New. 387 00:19:54,267 --> 00:19:57,787 Speaker 1: Zealand's host Trusted home Builder News Talks, a Baby News Talks. 388 00:19:57,787 --> 00:19:59,427 Speaker 3: They'll be coming up twelve thirty spear line there. If 389 00:19:59,467 --> 00:20:00,507 Speaker 3: you want to jump a board, we'll go to the 390 00:20:00,507 --> 00:20:02,387 Speaker 3: lines at a moment of eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. 391 00:20:02,387 --> 00:20:06,147 Speaker 3: Couple of techs through talking about cam Miller from Dave Piney. 392 00:20:06,147 --> 00:20:08,387 Speaker 3: Whe Why is there not more talk about cam Miller? 393 00:20:09,027 --> 00:20:12,067 Speaker 3: A quiet achiever who runs the team around the paddock 394 00:20:12,107 --> 00:20:17,307 Speaker 3: with skill and thoughtful tactics. He's kicking with confidence. Shouldn't 395 00:20:17,307 --> 00:20:20,347 Speaker 3: he be the follower to body? I think cam Miller 396 00:20:20,307 --> 00:20:24,427 Speaker 3: has had a terrific NPC season, absolutely tremendous. I'm not 397 00:20:24,427 --> 00:20:27,267 Speaker 3: sure that there was a great clamor for him after 398 00:20:27,347 --> 00:20:30,547 Speaker 3: Super Rugby to be in the All Blacks, but what 399 00:20:30,627 --> 00:20:34,907 Speaker 3: he has done during the MPC season is showing just 400 00:20:34,947 --> 00:20:38,427 Speaker 3: what a quality player he is. His goalkicking and I 401 00:20:38,467 --> 00:20:40,587 Speaker 3: stand to be corrected here, but I think his goalkicking 402 00:20:40,707 --> 00:20:44,787 Speaker 3: stats are the best in the competition. And while that's 403 00:20:44,827 --> 00:20:46,427 Speaker 3: only a small part of it, it can be a 404 00:20:46,547 --> 00:20:49,387 Speaker 3: very big part of it. So yeah, cam Miller. There 405 00:20:49,467 --> 00:20:52,947 Speaker 3: was another another text here from Tony Findey, what about 406 00:20:52,947 --> 00:20:55,467 Speaker 3: cam Miller. Surely he should be in the All Blacks fifteen. 407 00:20:55,787 --> 00:20:58,347 Speaker 3: They've only named the two first fives, which is instructive 408 00:20:58,387 --> 00:21:00,667 Speaker 3: to me and probably lends itself to what I talked 409 00:21:00,667 --> 00:21:03,507 Speaker 3: about before with Ruben Love dropping down if need be, 410 00:21:04,787 --> 00:21:08,427 Speaker 3: Josh Jacob and Rivers Ray other two first fives in 411 00:21:08,467 --> 00:21:12,027 Speaker 3: the squad, and I think that's probably fair enough. Josh Jacob, 412 00:21:12,027 --> 00:21:15,787 Speaker 3: I think we all can agree as is probably the 413 00:21:15,827 --> 00:21:17,507 Speaker 3: next cab off the rank. If there was to be 414 00:21:17,587 --> 00:21:20,947 Speaker 3: somebody to move up into the All Blacks in a 415 00:21:20,987 --> 00:21:23,307 Speaker 3: first five role, I think Josh Jacob would be your man. 416 00:21:23,547 --> 00:21:26,227 Speaker 3: Revers Rayhannah had a terrific Super Rugby Final, didn't he 417 00:21:26,747 --> 00:21:31,667 Speaker 3: guiding the Crusaders to glory and has been solid for 418 00:21:31,707 --> 00:21:33,707 Speaker 3: a while now, so I think that is probably earned. 419 00:21:33,747 --> 00:21:37,947 Speaker 3: But yeah, cam Miller, Look, yeah, he's he's a guy 420 00:21:38,027 --> 00:21:40,227 Speaker 3: I'd like I say. I don't think many people were 421 00:21:40,267 --> 00:21:44,867 Speaker 3: talking about him pre NPC. Plenty of people are talking 422 00:21:44,867 --> 00:21:48,267 Speaker 3: about him now, including you, Phil. I know you're enjoying 423 00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:51,467 Speaker 3: watching Otago even though you're not really an Otago man. 424 00:21:53,347 --> 00:21:56,067 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a tricky one for me, poorly because I'm 425 00:21:56,067 --> 00:22:00,307 Speaker 10: a good boy from Southland. But so yeah, but living 426 00:22:00,307 --> 00:22:02,987 Speaker 10: in christ Churchs, you know, over living in christ Churchs 427 00:22:02,987 --> 00:22:07,067 Speaker 10: for probably thirty years or more now, so always enjoy 428 00:22:07,147 --> 00:22:09,747 Speaker 10: I do enjoy watching the Tago and I do like 429 00:22:09,787 --> 00:22:10,547 Speaker 10: it when they win. 430 00:22:10,987 --> 00:22:14,667 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been, I've been loving it. I've been, I've 431 00:22:14,707 --> 00:22:17,587 Speaker 3: been loving it. I think it's funny, isn't it. Phil. 432 00:22:17,627 --> 00:22:19,387 Speaker 3: You know, it's easy to it's easy to back a 433 00:22:19,427 --> 00:22:22,387 Speaker 3: team that, you know, they're almost a team that that 434 00:22:22,427 --> 00:22:25,827 Speaker 3: we remember fondly their old days, and we all want 435 00:22:25,827 --> 00:22:28,787 Speaker 3: them to, you know, to recapture that until they become 436 00:22:28,867 --> 00:22:30,907 Speaker 3: so good they start beating our sides. It's a bit 437 00:22:31,227 --> 00:22:33,027 Speaker 3: it's a bit different, but I think we can. I 438 00:22:33,067 --> 00:22:35,227 Speaker 3: think we can all enjoy what they're doing right now 439 00:22:35,227 --> 00:22:36,907 Speaker 3: because they are a terrific watch. 440 00:22:38,027 --> 00:22:40,227 Speaker 10: Yes. Yeah, I watched the game last night and I 441 00:22:40,267 --> 00:22:43,507 Speaker 10: just thought it was a fantastic game. And and like 442 00:22:43,627 --> 00:22:46,627 Speaker 10: you were saying, with those Texas Cam Miller, I was 443 00:22:46,907 --> 00:22:49,107 Speaker 10: really impressed by him. And you know, I was thinking, 444 00:22:49,107 --> 00:22:51,147 Speaker 10: why isn't this guy in the all black mix and 445 00:22:52,147 --> 00:22:54,627 Speaker 10: because yea, as soon as he kicked that first goal 446 00:22:54,747 --> 00:22:56,907 Speaker 10: as well. It was straight down the middle, you know, 447 00:22:57,027 --> 00:22:59,067 Speaker 10: and I thought, oh, this guy is on straight away 448 00:22:59,107 --> 00:23:03,307 Speaker 10: with the kicking, and and he did. But yeah, I 449 00:23:03,707 --> 00:23:06,867 Speaker 10: think of him like I think of him like Tom 450 00:23:06,987 --> 00:23:11,387 Speaker 10: Christie for the for Canterbury and the Crusaders, just that 451 00:23:11,507 --> 00:23:13,867 Speaker 10: sort of like you said, the quiet achiever that goes 452 00:23:13,907 --> 00:23:16,227 Speaker 10: about and next thing you're thinking, gee, didn't he have 453 00:23:16,267 --> 00:23:18,507 Speaker 10: a great game by the end of it, you know 454 00:23:18,627 --> 00:23:21,347 Speaker 10: sort of thing. So yeah, I hope in the future 455 00:23:21,387 --> 00:23:24,347 Speaker 10: that he might be considered. And of course the other 456 00:23:24,387 --> 00:23:27,427 Speaker 10: two boys that I have no doubt are going to 457 00:23:27,467 --> 00:23:30,947 Speaker 10: end up all blacks as the half back and the 458 00:23:31,027 --> 00:23:34,027 Speaker 10: fella number seven, is it? I just forget their names 459 00:23:34,387 --> 00:23:35,067 Speaker 10: from from. 460 00:23:35,427 --> 00:23:39,067 Speaker 3: From Otago Yah, yeah, yeah, Dylan, Yeah, Dylan Pledger and 461 00:23:39,187 --> 00:23:42,107 Speaker 3: Lucas Casey as yours your man at open side. 462 00:23:42,787 --> 00:23:45,867 Speaker 10: Yeah, they were great. And watching that game last night too, 463 00:23:45,907 --> 00:23:48,387 Speaker 10: I did did take me back to the old house 464 00:23:48,427 --> 00:23:50,747 Speaker 10: of paying days, you know, in house Attained, and I 465 00:23:50,787 --> 00:23:53,787 Speaker 10: did think of those players ob Tine Randall and Josh 466 00:23:53,787 --> 00:23:57,387 Speaker 10: Crimefield when and Jeff Wilson when O Targo had that 467 00:23:57,667 --> 00:24:01,347 Speaker 10: that those golden periods. So Yeah, it was fantastic. Yeah, 468 00:24:01,347 --> 00:24:04,147 Speaker 10: I really looking forward to this game tonight and then 469 00:24:04,227 --> 00:24:07,067 Speaker 10: the final will be great, I think with MPC, but 470 00:24:07,707 --> 00:24:09,907 Speaker 10: I'm liking I like the idea of this All Black 471 00:24:09,947 --> 00:24:13,827 Speaker 10: fifteen team to I've done enough. I fully understand. It 472 00:24:13,867 --> 00:24:17,267 Speaker 10: was interesting listening to Jamie Joseph. I'd like to hear 473 00:24:17,307 --> 00:24:22,147 Speaker 10: that interview again, but I think it sounds like it's 474 00:24:22,347 --> 00:24:24,467 Speaker 10: going to be a feeder team to give guys a 475 00:24:24,627 --> 00:24:26,947 Speaker 10: chance and give them game time and stuff like that, 476 00:24:26,987 --> 00:24:28,027 Speaker 10: and I like that idea. 477 00:24:28,067 --> 00:24:30,627 Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, I do too. I think, you know, 478 00:24:30,747 --> 00:24:34,627 Speaker 3: having having a team right there, I mean they're in 479 00:24:34,667 --> 00:24:38,027 Speaker 3: the same hemisphere at times. I think they're even in 480 00:24:38,067 --> 00:24:40,987 Speaker 3: the same the same country. Once the All Blacks get 481 00:24:41,027 --> 00:24:43,707 Speaker 3: to England, they'll be in the same country as as 482 00:24:43,747 --> 00:24:47,307 Speaker 3: the All Blacks fifteen, So it's an easy transition to 483 00:24:47,307 --> 00:24:49,667 Speaker 3: get players going in both directions, as I say, not 484 00:24:49,747 --> 00:24:53,347 Speaker 3: just in one direction, but in both directions. And look, 485 00:24:53,427 --> 00:24:57,147 Speaker 3: I also think that they probably I mean, being professional 486 00:24:57,227 --> 00:24:59,667 Speaker 3: rugby players, they want to win their games as well. 487 00:24:59,747 --> 00:25:02,107 Speaker 3: So yeah, I like you. I'm looking forward to seeing 488 00:25:02,107 --> 00:25:05,067 Speaker 3: how they go, and I like you are enjoying Otago. 489 00:25:05,347 --> 00:25:07,187 Speaker 3: I know you want your cannib team to win tonight, 490 00:25:07,227 --> 00:25:10,227 Speaker 3: Phil and set up a final in christ Church next weekend. 491 00:25:10,987 --> 00:25:13,187 Speaker 3: I know Otago, if that's what they have to do, 492 00:25:13,267 --> 00:25:16,507 Speaker 3: will have no fear coming up the road because as 493 00:25:16,507 --> 00:25:18,747 Speaker 3: we remember, they were the ones who took the shield 494 00:25:19,107 --> 00:25:22,827 Speaker 3: off Canterbury in christ Church not too long ago. Always 495 00:25:22,827 --> 00:25:25,027 Speaker 3: good to chat, Phil, Thanks mate, Hello Simon. 496 00:25:25,667 --> 00:25:26,627 Speaker 11: Gooday, how are you going? 497 00:25:27,147 --> 00:25:27,827 Speaker 3: Very good? Simon? 498 00:25:28,707 --> 00:25:32,747 Speaker 11: Hey, it's not so much for me about about who 499 00:25:32,827 --> 00:25:36,267 Speaker 11: hasn't been selected. It's more about a few people that 500 00:25:36,747 --> 00:25:39,787 Speaker 11: have been that have been about confusing all year when 501 00:25:39,787 --> 00:25:41,987 Speaker 11: you've got a NYE in the future, and that's people 502 00:25:42,027 --> 00:25:45,627 Speaker 11: like Jacobson, Rico and Antonline of Brown who seemed to 503 00:25:45,667 --> 00:25:51,307 Speaker 11: be out of favor, getting old and still making the 504 00:25:51,387 --> 00:25:57,707 Speaker 11: All Black team versus maybe developing some young talent. And 505 00:25:57,747 --> 00:26:00,147 Speaker 11: I just don't really understand what this strategy is in 506 00:26:00,147 --> 00:26:00,627 Speaker 11: that regard. 507 00:26:01,547 --> 00:26:05,027 Speaker 3: I think the strategy is conservatism, Simon, if I'm honest, 508 00:26:05,787 --> 00:26:09,747 Speaker 3: I think it's a conservatism that has been probably a 509 00:26:09,747 --> 00:26:12,827 Speaker 3: feature of Scott Robertson's time as All Blacks head coach, 510 00:26:12,827 --> 00:26:16,147 Speaker 3: even though he's blooded nineteen New guys. I think this 511 00:26:16,827 --> 00:26:22,267 Speaker 3: tour party is a demonstration of the conservatism that he 512 00:26:22,987 --> 00:26:25,947 Speaker 3: selects with. And I just wonder, mate, whether this might 513 00:26:26,027 --> 00:26:29,347 Speaker 3: be the last, the last time we see some of 514 00:26:29,387 --> 00:26:32,587 Speaker 3: the guys you've mentioned. Look, I just don't know what 515 00:26:32,627 --> 00:26:34,827 Speaker 3: the future is for a guy like Seva Reese. Is 516 00:26:34,827 --> 00:26:36,987 Speaker 3: he going to be at the next Rugby World Cup. 517 00:26:37,907 --> 00:26:40,387 Speaker 3: I'm not sure that he will be. Luke Jacobson perhaps 518 00:26:40,387 --> 00:26:43,267 Speaker 3: the same Anton Lennett Brown seems to have been overtaken 519 00:26:43,307 --> 00:26:46,307 Speaker 3: in terms of the midfield pecking order now. So while 520 00:26:46,627 --> 00:26:49,267 Speaker 3: while I like the fact that there's been some loyalty showing, 521 00:26:49,747 --> 00:26:51,947 Speaker 3: I just wonder whether from next year on, with a 522 00:26:51,987 --> 00:26:55,067 Speaker 3: Rugby World Cup looming, that if guys aren't going to 523 00:26:55,107 --> 00:26:56,907 Speaker 3: be at the World Cup, then they're not in the 524 00:26:56,907 --> 00:26:58,067 Speaker 3: All Blacks. 525 00:26:58,387 --> 00:27:01,147 Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, And no disrespect to those kinds of great No, no, 526 00:27:01,227 --> 00:27:03,147 Speaker 12: not at all, not at all. 527 00:27:03,587 --> 00:27:06,787 Speaker 11: But we've got a northern tour that's got Wales and Stufftland. 528 00:27:06,987 --> 00:27:09,987 Speaker 11: You know, that would be an ideal time to really 529 00:27:10,027 --> 00:27:14,547 Speaker 11: be to be planning some new players. But anyway, that 530 00:27:14,667 --> 00:27:15,947 Speaker 11: was just the only thing I wanted to say. 531 00:27:15,987 --> 00:27:17,987 Speaker 3: Really, no, good on you, Simon, and I think you 532 00:27:18,147 --> 00:27:19,747 Speaker 3: to make a salient point. And I've heard a lot 533 00:27:19,747 --> 00:27:22,587 Speaker 3: of people talk about it as well, and the Conservatism 534 00:27:22,627 --> 00:27:26,907 Speaker 3: also brings with it just a bit of a sluggishness 535 00:27:26,907 --> 00:27:31,187 Speaker 3: when it comes to reaching and what seems like an 536 00:27:31,187 --> 00:27:35,067 Speaker 3: obvious solution. And the specific example of give the Year 537 00:27:35,107 --> 00:27:38,427 Speaker 3: is Leroy Carter. Leroy Carter was, in the eyes of 538 00:27:38,467 --> 00:27:40,587 Speaker 3: most people, one of the best two or three wingers 539 00:27:40,587 --> 00:27:44,467 Speaker 3: in Super rugby this year, really really good for the 540 00:27:44,547 --> 00:27:49,307 Speaker 3: Chiefs every time he played, added energy, enthusiasm, vigor, pace, power, 541 00:27:49,587 --> 00:27:53,507 Speaker 3: good on defense, all that stuff. And he wasn't selected 542 00:27:53,547 --> 00:27:56,467 Speaker 3: in the All Blacks initially for the French series, was 543 00:27:56,507 --> 00:27:59,787 Speaker 3: brought in his injury cover to go over to Argentina 544 00:28:00,547 --> 00:28:03,507 Speaker 3: and didn't actually have his All Black Staybut until they 545 00:28:03,507 --> 00:28:08,267 Speaker 3: got back and there was that deboot in that and 546 00:28:08,307 --> 00:28:11,627 Speaker 3: that abiration that was the lost to South Africa in Wellington, 547 00:28:11,627 --> 00:28:14,227 Speaker 3: he probably actually one of the guys who emerged with 548 00:28:14,347 --> 00:28:19,907 Speaker 3: any credit from that. But then he kept his place. 549 00:28:20,587 --> 00:28:23,707 Speaker 3: He played against Australia in both of those test matches 550 00:28:24,827 --> 00:28:28,747 Speaker 3: in Auckland and again in Perth and has made absolutely 551 00:28:28,787 --> 00:28:33,227 Speaker 3: every post winner. And we've got there, We've got to 552 00:28:33,267 --> 00:28:35,107 Speaker 3: the point where ow Leroy Carter is one of our 553 00:28:35,107 --> 00:28:37,267 Speaker 3: best wingers in the All Blacks. But it just took 554 00:28:37,267 --> 00:28:42,107 Speaker 3: a little bit of time to get here because other players, 555 00:28:42,107 --> 00:28:44,787 Speaker 3: the likes of Severa Reese, Riquo Jowane, who played a 556 00:28:44,787 --> 00:28:46,787 Speaker 3: lot on the wing in the early part of the season, 557 00:28:46,827 --> 00:28:49,627 Speaker 3: were kind of persevered with. And like I say, loyalty 558 00:28:49,867 --> 00:28:52,347 Speaker 3: is a very good trait, a very good trait for 559 00:28:52,387 --> 00:28:54,827 Speaker 3: a coach, because it gives confidence to players that they're 560 00:28:54,827 --> 00:28:56,347 Speaker 3: not just going to be put on the team and 561 00:28:56,787 --> 00:29:01,267 Speaker 3: at the first sniff of trouble dropped. I do like loyalty, 562 00:29:02,427 --> 00:29:06,467 Speaker 3: but the overplayed strength is the weakness, the overplaying of 563 00:29:06,467 --> 00:29:10,707 Speaker 3: loyalty as conservatism, and it prevents you're getting to the 564 00:29:10,707 --> 00:29:15,227 Speaker 3: place you should perhaps get to earlier. Leroy Carter's the 565 00:29:15,267 --> 00:29:18,547 Speaker 3: hot hand should have been playing before that first Test 566 00:29:18,587 --> 00:29:20,747 Speaker 3: against South Africa. Anyway, here we are, Simon, good to 567 00:29:20,827 --> 00:29:22,867 Speaker 3: chat to you, mate, Thanks for taking the time to call.

Even hard 581 00:29:48,907 --> 00:29:51,787 Speaker 13: locked to be in that even holding the tackle tackle bags, 582 00:29:51,827 --> 00:29:51,987 Speaker 13: you know. 583 00:29:54,467 --> 00:29:56,267 Speaker 3: You'd be good at that mark. I know you hold 584 00:29:56,267 --> 00:29:57,907 Speaker 3: a good tackle bag, mate, you'd be good at that. 585 00:29:58,027 --> 00:30:02,987 Speaker 13: You know, because some dominant gardener and or then they'll 586 00:30:03,027 --> 00:30:06,307 Speaker 13: be fantastic and or black fifting, they'll even nixt time 587 00:30:06,667 --> 00:30:13,027 Speaker 13: dominic gardner and ah in number six for cany callaher, 588 00:30:13,267 --> 00:30:16,667 Speaker 13: he'll be They are just improven, improven improvement each week 589 00:30:16,707 --> 00:30:20,387 Speaker 13: for Cannery and by Crocky he'll be a good All 590 00:30:20,387 --> 00:30:23,507 Speaker 13: Black fifteen. I'm looking forward to actually plenty. 591 00:30:23,787 --> 00:30:25,547 Speaker 3: I am too. I'm just having to look here at 592 00:30:25,587 --> 00:30:27,827 Speaker 3: the Canterbury players in there and given the fact I 593 00:30:27,867 --> 00:30:29,267 Speaker 3: know there are quite a few in the All Blacks, 594 00:30:29,547 --> 00:30:31,827 Speaker 3: but given the season they've had, actually there aren't that 595 00:30:32,027 --> 00:30:35,987 Speaker 3: many Canterbury players actually in the backs. There are Chaffey, 596 00:30:36,067 --> 00:30:40,747 Speaker 3: Huckey's there, Dallas McLeod, Bryden in or is there rom 597 00:30:41,027 --> 00:30:43,747 Speaker 3: and here Brodiy mckellister is there of course, So yeah, 598 00:30:43,787 --> 00:30:46,107 Speaker 3: there's a sprinkling of Canterbury players in there. Are as 599 00:30:46,107 --> 00:30:47,707 Speaker 3: we say, a number in the All Blacks as well, 600 00:30:47,707 --> 00:30:50,747 Speaker 3: but yeah, look, I think you know, like I said before, 601 00:30:50,747 --> 00:30:51,867 Speaker 3: and you might have heard me say this, I think 602 00:30:51,867 --> 00:30:55,627 Speaker 3: everybody outside of the Canterbury region would like Hawks Bay 603 00:30:55,667 --> 00:30:58,467 Speaker 3: to win tonight so that we can have an Otago 604 00:30:58,547 --> 00:31:01,347 Speaker 3: Hawks Bay Final and Dunedin. But it wouldn't be beyond 605 00:31:01,387 --> 00:31:04,347 Speaker 3: the realms of possibility. In fact, it's probably highly likely 606 00:31:04,427 --> 00:31:06,267 Speaker 3: Mark that we're going to be back on your patch 607 00:31:06,507 --> 00:31:07,667 Speaker 3: next Saturday. 608 00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:10,907 Speaker 13: The Kenneby once.

I've actually had 613 00:31:19,587 --> 00:31:22,227 Speaker 3: a weekend off oddly enough, Mark, which is terrible timing, 614 00:31:22,267 --> 00:31:24,187 Speaker 3: I know, with the NPC Final on. What I can 615 00:31:24,227 --> 00:31:27,027 Speaker 3: tell you, mate, is that we've been in negotiations to 616 00:31:27,107 --> 00:31:30,427 Speaker 3: get to christ Church for Super Round next year and 617 00:31:30,467 --> 00:31:33,027 Speaker 3: Super Rugby when all of those games get played at 618 00:31:33,067 --> 00:31:36,747 Speaker 3: your brand new stadium down there. So I intend to 619 00:31:36,747 --> 00:31:38,307 Speaker 3: be in and around christ Church for out three or 620 00:31:38,347 --> 00:31:41,067 Speaker 3: four days during Super Round next year, so hopefully we 621 00:31:41,107 --> 00:31:41,707 Speaker 3: can catch up. 622 00:31:42,227 --> 00:31:45,067 Speaker 13: We will, Pony, Yeah, you going to Phoenix tonight, Piny 623 00:31:45,507 --> 00:31:46,107 Speaker 13: go to Phoenix. 624 00:31:46,107 --> 00:31:48,507 Speaker 3: Indeed, Mark, I agree with you, mate, Yes, all the 625 00:31:48,507 --> 00:31:50,467 Speaker 3: way out west you what a big sporting weekend. It 626 00:31:50,547 --> 00:31:54,707 Speaker 3: is a man honestly, it is just couch time. Really. 627 00:31:55,187 --> 00:31:58,107 Speaker 3: If you wanted to, and if you were able to 628 00:31:58,427 --> 00:32:00,187 Speaker 3: and able to get rid of your other commitments, you 629 00:32:00,227 --> 00:32:03,587 Speaker 3: could just basically park up sort of late afternoon tonight 630 00:32:03,627 --> 00:32:06,547 Speaker 3: and just box through. There's so much going on on, 631 00:32:07,267 --> 00:32:10,107 Speaker 3: so much on Mark, always enjoyed chatting to you a 632 00:32:10,107 --> 00:32:12,187 Speaker 3: couple of texts before we move on. When who I 633 00:32:12,187 --> 00:32:16,147 Speaker 3: talk this All Blacks the greatest rivalry tour in a moment, 634 00:32:19,867 --> 00:32:22,427 Speaker 3: Jamie Joseph saying New Zealand fifteen is what we all 635 00:32:22,467 --> 00:32:25,347 Speaker 3: think it should be spoken of in that description. More 636 00:32:25,947 --> 00:32:27,907 Speaker 3: maybe when the media call them that it will change 637 00:32:27,907 --> 00:32:31,347 Speaker 3: the New Zealand rugby marketing brands. I'm quite sure what 638 00:32:31,387 --> 00:32:32,947 Speaker 3: you're getting at there, Scott. Like I know a lot 639 00:32:32,987 --> 00:32:35,787 Speaker 3: of people don't like the fact that the All Blacks 640 00:32:36,827 --> 00:32:41,027 Speaker 3: brand is attached to this All Blacks fifteen and it 641 00:32:41,107 --> 00:32:43,627 Speaker 3: is a marketing tool. As soon as you say all Blacks, 642 00:32:43,667 --> 00:32:48,547 Speaker 3: people get that. We all know that it's effectively the 643 00:32:48,547 --> 00:32:50,947 Speaker 3: next best team. Whether you call it New Zealand day, 644 00:32:51,427 --> 00:32:54,867 Speaker 3: whether you call it. You know, I don't know what 645 00:32:54,907 --> 00:32:57,867 Speaker 3: you call it. The All Blacks fifteen is what it's called. 646 00:32:58,067 --> 00:33:01,307 Speaker 3: It adds a bit of gravitas to what the team 647 00:33:01,427 --> 00:33:03,867 Speaker 3: is overseas, but in the eyes of some people and 648 00:33:03,907 --> 00:33:07,267 Speaker 3: I get this, it dilutes the All Blacks brand. 649 00:33:08,187 --> 00:33:08,387 Speaker 15: Look. 650 00:33:08,427 --> 00:33:10,387 Speaker 3: I think those guys going out there all were black 651 00:33:10,627 --> 00:33:15,427 Speaker 3: in the All Blacks fifteen will be absolutely determined to 652 00:33:15,427 --> 00:33:19,227 Speaker 3: make sure that they uphold that brand seventeen away from 653 00:33:19,307 --> 00:33:20,787 Speaker 3: one back in a moment on Weekend. 654 00:33:20,547 --> 00:33:23,427 Speaker 7: Sport, You be the TMO. 655 00:33:23,467 --> 00:33:25,907 Speaker 1: Have your say on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 656 00:33:26,067 --> 00:33:30,747 Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason Pain and GJ. Guvnerholmes, New Zealand's 657 00:33:30,747 --> 00:33:32,947 Speaker 1: most trusted home builder News Dogs there'd. 658 00:33:32,787 --> 00:33:35,147 Speaker 3: Be fourteen to one couple of text to mop up 659 00:33:35,147 --> 00:33:36,707 Speaker 3: here from Aidenen darned and the best thing about the 660 00:33:36,707 --> 00:33:39,347 Speaker 3: All Blacks fifteen is that it'll add to the positional 661 00:33:39,427 --> 00:33:42,227 Speaker 3: depth razorers looking for the worst thing about the All 662 00:33:42,227 --> 00:33:44,587 Speaker 3: Blacks fifteen is that it will add to the positional 663 00:33:44,627 --> 00:33:48,307 Speaker 3: depth Rugby clubs around the world and through sixty are 664 00:33:48,307 --> 00:33:51,827 Speaker 3: looking for. This will add positional depth and show athlete 665 00:33:51,907 --> 00:33:55,627 Speaker 3: readiness for international rugby, but will also showcase our fringe 666 00:33:55,667 --> 00:33:59,187 Speaker 3: talent to the rugby market.

Did you see 856 00:42:37,067 --> 00:42:42,907 Speaker 3: this score? South Canterbury thirty one Thames Valley sixty one 857 00:42:43,747 --> 00:42:48,507 Speaker 3: sixty one. But the crazy thing was South Canterbury were 858 00:42:48,547 --> 00:42:54,147 Speaker 3: ahead thirty one twenty four, two minutes into the second 859 00:42:54,147 --> 00:42:58,547 Speaker 3: half thirty one twenty four, So what's that?

A dominant final 869 00:43:26,427 --> 00:43:29,507 Speaker 3: quarter performance from Australia has seen the Silver Ferns go 870 00:43:29,627 --> 00:43:32,667 Speaker 3: down to the Diamonds in the opening Constellation Cup netball 871 00:43:32,747 --> 00:43:34,507 Speaker 3: test in Melbourne last night. 872 00:43:35,227 --> 00:43:40,067 Speaker 5: Seventeen goals ahead, the final hooter goes Australia winn it. 873 00:43:40,467 --> 00:43:45,947 Speaker 5: Australia take first blood in Constellation Cup twenty twenty five 874 00:43:46,867 --> 00:43:50,747 Speaker 5: fifty two New Zealand sixty nine to the Diamonds. 875 00:43:50,787 --> 00:43:52,347 Speaker 3: If you hadn't watched the game, you think, man, that's 876 00:43:52,347 --> 00:43:54,067 Speaker 3: a bit of a hiding, but really it was all 877 00:43:54,107 --> 00:43:56,587 Speaker 3: based on the fourth quarter. New Zealand were just two 878 00:43:56,627 --> 00:44:00,027 Speaker 3: behind at halftime, only four back at three quarter time 879 00:44:00,107 --> 00:44:04,267 Speaker 3: before Australia outscored them twenty four to eleven in the 880 00:44:04,347 --> 00:44:07,467 Speaker 3: fourth quarter. Coach of at McCaw's lingurias with us of 881 00:44:07,667 --> 00:44:09,787 Speaker 3: what happened in that fourth quarter. 882 00:44:10,627 --> 00:44:15,027 Speaker 19: Oh gosh, I've watched it three times. It's painful, isn't it. 883 00:44:15,147 --> 00:44:17,787 Speaker 19: A lot of things I think, you know, partly that 884 00:44:17,907 --> 00:44:21,707 Speaker 19: ability just to really continue with our basics under pressure 885 00:44:21,787 --> 00:44:25,227 Speaker 19: and fatigue and look, I think Australia that need to 886 00:44:25,267 --> 00:44:26,787 Speaker 19: put us under pressure, but there are a lot of 887 00:44:26,827 --> 00:44:29,987 Speaker 19: things that we just lost control of our funds. And 888 00:44:30,027 --> 00:44:32,667 Speaker 19: that's seven losses, that seven goals to them plus their 889 00:44:32,667 --> 00:44:35,507 Speaker 19: own center pass and that's out of you know, completely 890 00:44:35,547 --> 00:44:38,147 Speaker 19: out at that point. So yeah, that fourth quarter was 891 00:44:38,187 --> 00:44:40,507 Speaker 19: really frustrating. There was lots of good pieces, of course, 892 00:44:40,547 --> 00:44:42,987 Speaker 19: but that's a huge blowout at the back end. 893 00:44:43,067 --> 00:44:44,707 Speaker 18: So yeah, we're really disappointed with that. 894 00:44:45,427 --> 00:44:50,827 Speaker 3: Is that something that is straightforward to address and put right? 895 00:44:51,827 --> 00:44:52,427 Speaker 18: It has to be. 896 00:44:52,907 --> 00:44:54,467 Speaker 19: You know, we've only got a couple of days, so 897 00:44:54,507 --> 00:44:57,267 Speaker 19: we've got to look really hard at ourselves in terms 898 00:44:57,267 --> 00:45:00,427 Speaker 19: of individuals and to be fair that the mini skill 899 00:45:00,507 --> 00:45:03,387 Speaker 19: sets that people can change really quickly. 900 00:45:03,427 --> 00:45:04,867 Speaker 18: There's a you know, a drop. 901 00:45:04,627 --> 00:45:07,867 Speaker 19: Ball or a choice by a shot or you know, 902 00:45:08,027 --> 00:45:10,427 Speaker 19: just simple things not doing the work to get you 903 00:45:10,667 --> 00:45:11,587 Speaker 19: free and into space. 904 00:45:11,667 --> 00:45:12,747 Speaker 18: So it gets contested. 905 00:45:12,867 --> 00:45:16,187 Speaker 19: So you look, all of it's flexible because the delivery 906 00:45:16,227 --> 00:45:19,187 Speaker 19: was clearly there in the first part. So they had 907 00:45:19,187 --> 00:45:21,027 Speaker 19: the skill set, they had the ability to do it, 908 00:45:21,107 --> 00:45:25,747 Speaker 19: but it's just maintaining that, you know, that pace under 909 00:45:25,747 --> 00:45:28,827 Speaker 19: pressure and that mental fatigue that can build as well. 910 00:45:29,347 --> 00:45:31,627 Speaker 3: How encouraged were you by the first three quarters? 911 00:45:33,067 --> 00:45:35,827 Speaker 19: Yeah, really encouraging. I mean it was you know, a 912 00:45:35,907 --> 00:45:39,427 Speaker 19: couple of people first time they've played Australia and others. 913 00:45:39,587 --> 00:45:42,747 Speaker 19: They were containing in terms of their own skill set. 914 00:45:42,747 --> 00:45:45,427 Speaker 19: They were really working on executing well. And I think 915 00:45:45,787 --> 00:45:49,347 Speaker 19: we had plenty of opportunity. Again first quarter, you know, 916 00:45:49,507 --> 00:45:53,787 Speaker 19: gave up a few you know, just poor execution, poor catch, 917 00:45:53,827 --> 00:45:54,347 Speaker 19: all those. 918 00:45:54,187 --> 00:45:56,707 Speaker 18: Sorts of things. So again it's flexible. 919 00:45:56,827 --> 00:45:58,907 Speaker 19: I mean sometimes you can play a game and you think, 920 00:45:58,987 --> 00:45:59,867 Speaker 19: oh my gosh. 921 00:45:59,667 --> 00:46:01,987 Speaker 18: There was just you know, they're just too good. 922 00:46:02,267 --> 00:46:04,987 Speaker 19: But I actually do believe we have the ability to 923 00:46:05,467 --> 00:46:08,027 Speaker 19: compete in We've just got a tidy up on those 924 00:46:08,267 --> 00:46:09,587 Speaker 19: really little fine. 925 00:46:09,307 --> 00:46:12,587 Speaker 3: Skills Martina Salmon. She grew up in Australia. Of course 926 00:46:12,667 --> 00:46:15,067 Speaker 3: took the goal attack bib it was just her fourth test. 927 00:46:15,307 --> 00:46:16,867 Speaker 3: How did you evaluate her performance? 928 00:46:17,867 --> 00:46:18,107 Speaker 10: Yeah? 929 00:46:18,147 --> 00:46:20,667 Speaker 19: Good, Look, I mean she always gets really disappointed in 930 00:46:20,667 --> 00:46:23,027 Speaker 19: the South, but I agree she hasn't had a huge 931 00:46:23,027 --> 00:46:25,867 Speaker 19: amount of time, not just at international level but even 932 00:46:25,907 --> 00:46:28,387 Speaker 19: at an said premiership level this year, and I think 933 00:46:28,667 --> 00:46:31,347 Speaker 19: she has that ability to take shots and take the 934 00:46:31,387 --> 00:46:35,147 Speaker 19: pressure off we needed. She's got the ability to get 935 00:46:35,187 --> 00:46:37,947 Speaker 19: good ball in space. So I think for me, you know, 936 00:46:37,987 --> 00:46:40,667 Speaker 19: we just keep working on her defensive game and making 937 00:46:40,707 --> 00:46:43,227 Speaker 19: sure that she keeps confident because she's got a lot to. 938 00:46:43,187 --> 00:46:47,507 Speaker 3: Offer just on her as an attacking weapon. How important 939 00:46:47,547 --> 00:46:49,747 Speaker 3: is it that whoever plays in the shooting circle with 940 00:46:49,827 --> 00:46:53,467 Speaker 3: Grace wiki is themselves a scoring threat to help take 941 00:46:53,507 --> 00:46:54,467 Speaker 3: that pressure off Grace. 942 00:46:55,307 --> 00:46:57,427 Speaker 18: Yeah, you're absolutely right. It's key. 943 00:46:57,507 --> 00:47:00,107 Speaker 19: You've got to have that ability to certainly look for 944 00:47:00,147 --> 00:47:02,947 Speaker 19: that offload if it's available and have really quality pass 945 00:47:02,987 --> 00:47:05,387 Speaker 19: and I think she did that well. She used both 946 00:47:05,387 --> 00:47:07,587 Speaker 19: a short in and outgame and she played with length. 947 00:47:07,667 --> 00:47:11,547 Speaker 19: But as you say, it's really critical that pressure comes on. 948 00:47:11,627 --> 00:47:14,787 Speaker 19: If there's two defenders on Grace, you're confident to take 949 00:47:14,787 --> 00:47:16,627 Speaker 19: the shot, and I thought she was smart with how 950 00:47:16,667 --> 00:47:20,707 Speaker 19: she worked her way much closer to the post, even 951 00:47:20,747 --> 00:47:22,907 Speaker 19: though she's got range and she can shoot with range. 952 00:47:22,907 --> 00:47:24,587 Speaker 18: I thought she made some good decisions with that. 953 00:47:25,027 --> 00:47:27,947 Speaker 3: Interesting that you talked about Martinez defensive game as well, 954 00:47:28,027 --> 00:47:30,187 Speaker 3: and you know, as a goal attack, I guess we 955 00:47:30,307 --> 00:47:33,067 Speaker 3: just assume that they know they're an attacking player and 956 00:47:33,067 --> 00:47:37,347 Speaker 3: that's what do you need to see from your goal attack. Defensively, Yeah, 957 00:47:37,387 --> 00:47:39,507 Speaker 3: for us all, I guess we talk a lot about 958 00:47:39,587 --> 00:47:41,667 Speaker 3: you know, we're all defenders and we're all attackers, and 959 00:47:41,707 --> 00:47:44,267 Speaker 3: it's similarly, you know, the Gold offense and wing defence. 960 00:47:44,307 --> 00:47:46,707 Speaker 19: We've got to have that ability to get ball down 961 00:47:46,827 --> 00:47:49,147 Speaker 19: courts so we're not pulling our mid caught up too high. 962 00:47:49,147 --> 00:47:52,707 Speaker 19: And similarly for our Gold attacks and wing attacks, we 963 00:47:52,787 --> 00:47:55,587 Speaker 19: need them to keep you know, those Goldies and Windy's 964 00:47:55,667 --> 00:47:58,467 Speaker 19: further out of the play otherwise that gives them six 965 00:47:58,507 --> 00:48:00,867 Speaker 19: attackers and we've only got four defenders left in the 966 00:48:00,867 --> 00:48:04,227 Speaker 19: front line. So it's here, it's just about everybody contributing 967 00:48:04,267 --> 00:48:07,587 Speaker 19: across across the match, that they're pressure on every catch, 968 00:48:07,667 --> 00:48:10,227 Speaker 19: that there's the ability for people to be put in 969 00:48:10,267 --> 00:48:12,747 Speaker 19: spaces that don't give them really good lines to the ball. 970 00:48:12,867 --> 00:48:16,067 Speaker 19: So yeah, look, it's important for all of us to 971 00:48:16,107 --> 00:48:17,947 Speaker 19: make sure we're contributing across the game. 972 00:48:18,547 --> 00:48:21,107 Speaker 3: How's the internal dynamic in the team right now of. 973 00:48:21,307 --> 00:48:26,067 Speaker 19: Ed Yeah, look, they are disappointed in particularly that last 974 00:48:26,147 --> 00:48:30,347 Speaker 19: quarter and the inability just to hold that tight, but 975 00:48:30,547 --> 00:48:33,947 Speaker 19: overall really good. They've certainly looked at it last night. 976 00:48:34,027 --> 00:48:36,627 Speaker 19: We're pretty clear about the things that you know, you 977 00:48:36,707 --> 00:48:39,707 Speaker 19: can control and change. And there's a little group up 978 00:48:40,027 --> 00:48:41,827 Speaker 19: that didn't have a huge amount of court time. They 979 00:48:41,827 --> 00:48:45,787 Speaker 19: are up training already and everywhere. Head to Sydney straight 980 00:48:45,827 --> 00:48:49,787 Speaker 19: after that. So moving on to the next job, learning fast, 981 00:48:49,907 --> 00:48:52,427 Speaker 19: making sure we're clear, And I think the great thing 982 00:48:52,427 --> 00:48:55,747 Speaker 19: that I've found is I've just stayed really connected no 983 00:48:55,787 --> 00:48:56,147 Speaker 19: matter what. 984 00:48:56,427 --> 00:48:58,747 Speaker 18: But this is you know, things like this really continue 985 00:48:58,787 --> 00:49:01,627 Speaker 18: to test. Just so here we go again, looking forward 986 00:49:01,667 --> 00:49:02,267 Speaker 18: to the next one. 987 00:49:02,307 --> 00:49:05,387 Speaker 3: Though, How have you managed to keep the outside noise 988 00:49:05,427 --> 00:49:06,907 Speaker 3: to a minimum? 989 00:49:07,427 --> 00:49:07,627 Speaker 20: Yeah? 990 00:49:07,787 --> 00:49:11,947 Speaker 19: Look for me, and for me personally, I've never been 991 00:49:12,267 --> 00:49:15,187 Speaker 19: engaged in social media or anything, so I guess I 992 00:49:15,267 --> 00:49:18,107 Speaker 19: find that a little bit easier. But for the players 993 00:49:18,147 --> 00:49:20,507 Speaker 19: it's been you know, obviously a challenge to make sure 994 00:49:20,547 --> 00:49:22,427 Speaker 19: they put that aside it and that's the bit that 995 00:49:22,467 --> 00:49:22,907 Speaker 19: I've been. 996 00:49:22,827 --> 00:49:23,587 Speaker 18: Most impressed with. 997 00:49:23,667 --> 00:49:26,827 Speaker 19: We know how much they love phones and that ability 998 00:49:26,867 --> 00:49:30,747 Speaker 19: to engage. So it's been not easy, but I've been 999 00:49:31,187 --> 00:49:34,067 Speaker 19: impressed with the way they've just seen we've got a 1000 00:49:34,107 --> 00:49:36,587 Speaker 19: performance or we're paid professionals. 1001 00:49:36,627 --> 00:49:38,987 Speaker 18: We need to be able to do our job. And actually, 1002 00:49:39,027 --> 00:49:40,907 Speaker 18: in the end, people will always have. 1003 00:49:40,867 --> 00:49:43,907 Speaker 19: A view on all sorts of things, but you've just 1004 00:49:43,907 --> 00:49:45,707 Speaker 19: got to be able to say, look, can I look 1005 00:49:45,747 --> 00:49:47,627 Speaker 19: at myself and say I've done the best I can 1006 00:49:47,707 --> 00:49:50,467 Speaker 19: and in parts yesterday yes, and in other parts no. 1007 00:49:50,827 --> 00:49:52,907 Speaker 19: So we've got to just own the bits that we 1008 00:49:52,947 --> 00:49:53,547 Speaker 19: can control. 1009 00:49:53,747 --> 00:49:55,547 Speaker 3: And I know you've spoken about this publicly, but have 1010 00:49:55,627 --> 00:49:59,307 Speaker 3: you had to internally address what is going on outside 1011 00:49:59,307 --> 00:50:01,547 Speaker 3: the team or are you have you simply come in 1012 00:50:01,787 --> 00:50:04,667 Speaker 3: and said to yourself, I've got a netball team to coach. 1013 00:50:05,627 --> 00:50:06,347 Speaker 21: Yeah, pretty much. 1014 00:50:06,667 --> 00:50:08,227 Speaker 18: It's really been for me about Nippel. 1015 00:50:08,347 --> 00:50:12,707 Speaker 19: So the high performance development managers and others have done that, 1016 00:50:12,747 --> 00:50:14,747 Speaker 19: and the players have done that, and they've. 1017 00:50:14,907 --> 00:50:16,187 Speaker 18: Really settled themselves. 1018 00:50:16,227 --> 00:50:20,347 Speaker 19: They've had conversations a couple of reasonably you know, strong 1019 00:50:21,587 --> 00:50:24,387 Speaker 19: moments together in meetings where they're like, right, Okay, this 1020 00:50:24,507 --> 00:50:26,947 Speaker 19: is where we're at. We all understand where we're at. 1021 00:50:27,227 --> 00:50:29,947 Speaker 19: That's good, that's a sign post. But this is what 1022 00:50:29,987 --> 00:50:32,787 Speaker 19: we've got to do next. And that's made it really 1023 00:50:33,187 --> 00:50:35,587 Speaker 19: so much easier for me just to stay focused on 1024 00:50:35,627 --> 00:50:37,627 Speaker 19: the performance piece. And I don't know all the other 1025 00:50:37,667 --> 00:50:39,627 Speaker 19: bits that are going on and have chosen not to, 1026 00:50:39,667 --> 00:50:43,547 Speaker 19: whether that be blind or otherwise, but just yeah, we've 1027 00:50:43,667 --> 00:50:45,947 Speaker 19: literally got a job to do and it's hard en 1028 00:50:46,027 --> 00:50:47,707 Speaker 19: us without everything. 1029 00:50:47,307 --> 00:50:48,707 Speaker 18: Else that goes on. 1030 00:50:48,827 --> 00:50:51,387 Speaker 19: So I've been really impressed with them and they have 1031 00:50:51,467 --> 00:50:53,707 Speaker 19: stayed really connected and you can see moments so that 1032 00:50:53,787 --> 00:50:56,587 Speaker 19: you can't play well without that. So that's the bit 1033 00:50:56,627 --> 00:50:59,147 Speaker 19: they're disappointed and as they've just worked so hard to 1034 00:50:59,147 --> 00:51:02,987 Speaker 19: get to this point, and yep, but it's in our control, 1035 00:51:03,107 --> 00:51:05,147 Speaker 19: so we'll be ready to go again. 1036 00:51:05,387 --> 00:51:07,947 Speaker 3: Exactly the right approach it. Thanks for your time today 1037 00:51:08,107 --> 00:51:10,587 Speaker 3: or the best as you had to test to look 1038 00:51:10,627 --> 00:51:12,267 Speaker 3: forward to seeing your back here in New Zealand soon, 1039 00:51:13,107 --> 00:51:16,027 Speaker 3: cop right number he thank you so much. Indeed, evtna 1040 00:51:16,067 --> 00:51:18,907 Speaker 3: Vet mcauland jury there coach of the Silver Fans. I 1041 00:51:18,947 --> 00:51:21,747 Speaker 3: think I presume we just called her that interim coach 1042 00:51:21,827 --> 00:51:24,267 Speaker 3: may be more accurate. I'm not sure, but she is 1043 00:51:24,347 --> 00:51:26,907 Speaker 3: in charge and can I just say I continue to 1044 00:51:26,987 --> 00:51:33,947 Speaker 3: be very impressed with Avet McCausland jury. She has basically 1045 00:51:34,067 --> 00:51:39,307 Speaker 3: rescued Netball New Zealand from a very tight spot in 1046 00:51:39,347 --> 00:51:43,427 Speaker 3: the midst of this chaotic, ongoing off court stoush with 1047 00:51:43,547 --> 00:51:46,547 Speaker 3: Dame Nolen Totor which doesn't seem to have a resolution insight. 1048 00:51:46,667 --> 00:51:50,547 Speaker 3: Just quietly, Evt McCausland jury has stepped in and very 1049 00:51:50,587 --> 00:51:54,947 Speaker 3: calmly just focused on the nepple, focused on the nipple. 1050 00:51:55,907 --> 00:51:59,467 Speaker 3: It must still be a very challenging environment to oversee 1051 00:52:00,227 --> 00:52:03,267 Speaker 3: because it's obvious that some players want Dame Nolen Todo 1052 00:52:03,467 --> 00:52:07,747 Speaker 3: back and some players don't. That has become very of Grayson. 1053 00:52:07,787 --> 00:52:11,427 Speaker 3: Wicki in the media this week even said she should 1054 00:52:11,427 --> 00:52:14,467 Speaker 3: have chosen her words more carefully when she took the 1055 00:52:14,507 --> 00:52:18,027 Speaker 3: mic after that South African series and said we want 1056 00:52:18,067 --> 00:52:21,187 Speaker 3: you back, Dan Noling, we want you back. She's obviously 1057 00:52:21,227 --> 00:52:23,787 Speaker 3: been given the message that she doesn't speak for the 1058 00:52:23,787 --> 00:52:31,587 Speaker 3: team when she says that, but divided opinion doesn't have 1059 00:52:31,707 --> 00:52:37,427 Speaker 3: to mean a divided team. It would be fanciful for 1060 00:52:37,547 --> 00:52:40,307 Speaker 3: us to think that every player in every team gets 1061 00:52:40,347 --> 00:52:44,067 Speaker 3: on that they all share the same views about that team, 1062 00:52:44,387 --> 00:52:47,427 Speaker 3: about its leadership, about its coaching, about its playing style, 1063 00:52:47,667 --> 00:52:54,627 Speaker 3: about every aspect of it. It's fantasy to assume that 1064 00:52:55,027 --> 00:52:58,667 Speaker 3: every player and every team is completely aligned. It's the 1065 00:52:58,707 --> 00:53:01,827 Speaker 3: same with workplaces as compared it to something that we 1066 00:53:01,867 --> 00:53:05,467 Speaker 3: can relate to. We absolutely do not love all of 1067 00:53:05,507 --> 00:53:10,027 Speaker 3: our workmates. I mean some people in workplaces may do. 1068 00:53:10,147 --> 00:53:13,507 Speaker 3: There may be the odd one where everybody is completely aligned. 1069 00:53:13,507 --> 00:53:16,987 Speaker 3: Everybody gets on You're all on one another's Christmas card list, 1070 00:53:17,027 --> 00:53:19,787 Speaker 3: You're socialized with each other outside, and it is just 1071 00:53:19,907 --> 00:53:23,467 Speaker 3: like one big family. But that would be the exception 1072 00:53:23,587 --> 00:53:28,707 Speaker 3: to the rule. But we get on with it. We 1073 00:53:28,747 --> 00:53:31,707 Speaker 3: get on with it. We don't have to love the 1074 00:53:31,787 --> 00:53:36,827 Speaker 3: people we work alongside to be effective. Divided opinion doesn't 1075 00:53:36,827 --> 00:53:38,907 Speaker 3: have to mean a divided team. And I'm almost certain 1076 00:53:39,547 --> 00:53:42,867 Speaker 3: that's the message that Avet McCausland jury has very calmly 1077 00:53:43,267 --> 00:53:46,947 Speaker 3: given this team. She is not a ranter or a raver. 1078 00:53:47,547 --> 00:53:51,307 Speaker 3: She's a very calm composed netball coach who has found 1079 00:53:51,307 --> 00:53:53,987 Speaker 3: herself in a situation that she couldn't possibly have foreseen. 1080 00:53:54,627 --> 00:53:57,627 Speaker 3: There's no way coaching the silver Ferns and the tiny Jamison, 1081 00:53:57,867 --> 00:54:00,827 Speaker 3: the Constellation Cup and the Northern tour was on Avet 1082 00:54:00,867 --> 00:54:03,387 Speaker 3: McCausland Jury's bingo cart. At the start of this year, 1083 00:54:03,827 --> 00:54:06,027 Speaker 3: no way in the world she'd moved away from it. 1084 00:54:06,667 --> 00:54:09,467 Speaker 3: She was into the next part of her life. She's 1085 00:54:09,507 --> 00:54:13,027 Speaker 3: in the education sector and deeply invested in that. But 1086 00:54:13,427 --> 00:54:16,227 Speaker 3: as answered, the sos come in and I think done 1087 00:54:16,707 --> 00:54:20,947 Speaker 3: all she could possibly do to smooth things over, not 1088 00:54:21,027 --> 00:54:24,187 Speaker 3: to ignore them. I don't think anybody's ignoring what's gone 1089 00:54:24,187 --> 00:54:28,147 Speaker 3: on here, but I think netball in New Zealand of 1090 00:54:28,227 --> 00:54:32,867 Speaker 3: at McCausland jury a huge debt of gratitude for her 1091 00:54:32,907 --> 00:54:38,227 Speaker 3: ability to come in and steady the ship and guide 1092 00:54:38,227 --> 00:54:40,867 Speaker 3: them again on your views o. Eight hundred and eighty 1093 00:54:40,907 --> 00:54:44,427 Speaker 3: ten eighty and on the netball itself, I did think 1094 00:54:44,467 --> 00:54:48,707 Speaker 3: it was interesting that the game was decided in the 1095 00:54:48,747 --> 00:54:54,027 Speaker 3: fourth quarter, where fatigue sets in, where we find out 1096 00:54:54,027 --> 00:54:58,667 Speaker 3: how fit players are, because as we know Dan no 1097 00:54:58,867 --> 00:55:04,467 Speaker 3: Leane was is a stickler for fitness. She wants her 1098 00:55:04,507 --> 00:55:07,387 Speaker 3: players to be at a certain level. And the reason 1099 00:55:07,707 --> 00:55:10,227 Speaker 3: she wants them to be at a certain level is 1100 00:55:10,267 --> 00:55:12,267 Speaker 3: exactly what happened last night in the fourth quarter. You'd 1101 00:55:12,307 --> 00:55:15,507 Speaker 3: gotta be you can't play for three quarters and expect 1102 00:55:15,507 --> 00:55:17,387 Speaker 3: to beat the best team in the world, you have 1103 00:55:17,427 --> 00:55:19,387 Speaker 3: to be able to play for the four quarters. You 1104 00:55:19,467 --> 00:55:21,227 Speaker 3: must be fit enough to do that. I'm not telling 1105 00:55:21,267 --> 00:55:23,947 Speaker 3: you anything you don't already know. This is not This 1106 00:55:24,027 --> 00:55:29,467 Speaker 3: is not revelation or revelatory stuff from me. Dave No 1107 00:55:29,667 --> 00:55:33,747 Speaker 3: Leean was always big on fitness, always and will always be. 1108 00:55:35,387 --> 00:55:37,307 Speaker 3: One two. We can talk some NIPPA. What did you 1109 00:55:37,347 --> 00:55:39,347 Speaker 3: see last night? I was impressed with Martina Salmon. I 1110 00:55:39,347 --> 00:55:40,947 Speaker 3: thought she gave it a good crack. I thought she 1111 00:55:40,947 --> 00:55:44,707 Speaker 3: took some pressure off Grace Wiki and was taking shots 1112 00:55:44,707 --> 00:55:47,347 Speaker 3: from further out. I mean, it must be so tempting 1113 00:55:47,347 --> 00:55:49,187 Speaker 3: when you've got a player like Grace Wiki in the 1114 00:55:49,187 --> 00:55:50,987 Speaker 3: team to just give it to her every time. I 1115 00:55:51,027 --> 00:55:53,467 Speaker 3: know that Silver Furns used to do that with Irene 1116 00:55:53,507 --> 00:55:56,867 Speaker 3: Van Dyke when she was their their main threat in 1117 00:55:56,907 --> 00:55:59,907 Speaker 3: the shooting circle. You just look for Irene Grace Wiki 1118 00:56:00,067 --> 00:56:02,707 Speaker 3: the same. The temptation will be just to look for 1119 00:56:02,747 --> 00:56:07,067 Speaker 3: her every time. But having my ten of Salmon there 1120 00:56:07,067 --> 00:56:09,027 Speaker 3: and there are other options to Amelia Warmsley came on 1121 00:56:09,147 --> 00:56:12,947 Speaker 3: last night and played the back end of that game. 1122 00:56:13,507 --> 00:56:16,907 Speaker 3: You must be able to take the pressure off otherwise 1123 00:56:16,947 --> 00:56:22,467 Speaker 3: it's an easy, easier defensive assignment for whoever you're playing against. 1124 00:56:22,747 --> 00:56:26,147 Speaker 3: They just double mark Grace Wiki one twenty three news 1125 00:56:26,187 --> 00:56:28,067 Speaker 3: talks there, but we can talk to Nipall eight hundred 1126 00:56:28,067 --> 00:56:30,267 Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty nine two nine to two for 1127 00:56:30,307 --> 00:56:31,907 Speaker 3: your text messages.

Yeah, that she'd come back in and 1159 00:58:06,587 --> 00:58:09,227 Speaker 3: I think I think most of us, and I'm sure 1160 00:58:09,267 --> 00:58:12,267 Speaker 3: you agree, would would would know that Australia are a 1161 00:58:12,387 --> 00:58:14,827 Speaker 3: much tougher proposition. But I get what you're saying. Made 1162 00:58:14,867 --> 00:58:16,067 Speaker 3: I get what you're saying. She would have been in 1163 00:58:16,067 --> 00:58:18,387 Speaker 3: a bit of a no win situation, had she come 1164 00:58:18,427 --> 00:58:21,907 Speaker 3: back in and overseen a loss of that magnitude, would 1165 00:58:21,907 --> 00:58:23,827 Speaker 3: they have lost by that many with Dame Noll in there. 1166 00:58:24,027 --> 00:58:25,867 Speaker 3: I don't know the answer, but I get what you're saying. 1167 00:58:26,547 --> 00:58:29,867 Speaker 21: Yeah, but that's the thing. It's just like, regardless of 1168 00:58:29,907 --> 00:58:32,947 Speaker 21: whether of how it swings, if she came in and 1169 00:58:32,987 --> 00:58:36,067 Speaker 21: would have just been I lose lose on her. So yeah, 1170 00:58:36,187 --> 00:58:38,187 Speaker 21: I think that's quite good. But hey, give the girls 1171 00:58:38,187 --> 00:58:41,747 Speaker 21: another game, you know, give the girls another cook at it. 1172 00:58:41,787 --> 00:58:43,587 Speaker 21: And you know this was just a one off, so 1173 00:58:43,707 --> 00:58:45,627 Speaker 21: maybe they'll they'll come back on the second one. 1174 00:58:45,667 --> 00:58:48,747 Speaker 3: So we'll see the good man, John, Yeah, no, good point, 1175 00:58:48,747 --> 00:58:50,547 Speaker 3: well made. And look, I think we all want the 1176 00:58:50,587 --> 00:58:53,227 Speaker 3: team to win. There's no one out here wanting this 1177 00:58:53,267 --> 00:58:55,387 Speaker 3: team to lose. We all want them to win. And 1178 00:58:55,387 --> 00:58:57,987 Speaker 3: I was she just I just really enjoyed watching some 1179 00:58:58,107 --> 00:59:02,147 Speaker 3: nipple goodness be This off field stuff has been but tiring, 1180 00:59:02,187 --> 00:59:04,667 Speaker 3: hasn't it. Finally we got some some nipple to watch, 1181 00:59:04,707 --> 00:59:07,107 Speaker 3: some nipple to analyze, and we land on that fourth 1182 00:59:07,187 --> 00:59:10,787 Speaker 3: quarter because they were were off the pace in the 1183 00:59:10,907 --> 00:59:13,467 Speaker 3: in the final quarter. If it mcauseland jury admitted it 1184 00:59:13,707 --> 00:59:17,267 Speaker 3: mistakes under pressure we fatigued, So it's a work on 1185 00:59:17,627 --> 00:59:21,267 Speaker 3: for the next one, Lily, Hello, Yeah, Hi, I'm. 1186 00:59:21,187 --> 00:59:25,267 Speaker 22: Just saying that the time they played, I mean it 1187 00:59:24,987 --> 00:59:27,467 Speaker 22: was past their bed times, past mine as well. And 1188 00:59:27,587 --> 00:59:28,907 Speaker 22: he went over there two days ago. 1189 00:59:29,827 --> 00:59:30,107 Speaker 2: That's right. 1190 00:59:30,147 --> 00:59:31,627 Speaker 3: At least they don't have to go to Perth, Lily, 1191 00:59:31,867 --> 00:59:34,107 Speaker 3: that would have been worse. But I mean the. 1192 00:59:34,107 --> 00:59:36,187 Speaker 22: Obsies tend to do that, don't they. But I mean 1193 00:59:36,267 --> 00:59:38,827 Speaker 22: in Sydney they probably play a better game because the 1194 00:59:38,907 --> 00:59:41,107 Speaker 22: adjustice to the time difference, you know. 1195 00:59:41,387 --> 00:59:42,507 Speaker 3: Good point, good point. 1196 00:59:42,507 --> 00:59:43,547 Speaker 15: What about the fourth quarter? 1197 00:59:43,627 --> 00:59:44,547 Speaker 3: What about their fourth quarter? 1198 00:59:44,547 --> 00:59:44,667 Speaker 21: Though? 1199 00:59:44,707 --> 00:59:46,267 Speaker 3: Were you a bit concerned in the fourth quarter? 1200 00:59:47,147 --> 00:59:49,907 Speaker 22: Ah, year, I was, But I mean they actually made 1201 00:59:49,947 --> 00:59:55,707 Speaker 22: their own mistakes. Yeah, they were out played, They threw 1202 00:59:55,747 --> 00:59:57,627 Speaker 22: the ball away, they made their own mistakes. 1203 00:59:58,827 --> 01:00:01,427 Speaker 3: And I guess in that Regardlely, then if they can 1204 01:00:01,627 --> 01:00:05,307 Speaker 3: stop doing that, then they should improve in the second test, 1205 01:00:05,307 --> 01:00:06,507 Speaker 3: shouldn't they? 1206 01:00:06,547 --> 01:00:10,227 Speaker 22: Absolutely? And I think I think we've got to look 1207 01:00:10,227 --> 01:00:14,347 Speaker 22: at the players that weren't available with Dame, you know, 1208 01:00:14,387 --> 01:00:17,827 Speaker 22: with a team, so there was about five of them 1209 01:00:17,867 --> 01:00:20,907 Speaker 22: that weren't available, So I mean I think those were 1210 01:00:20,947 --> 01:00:22,587 Speaker 22: the ones that probably complained. 1211 01:00:23,707 --> 01:00:25,507 Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't know that Lili, we don't know who 1212 01:00:25,947 --> 01:00:28,307 Speaker 3: who has made the complaints, and it's probably a little 1213 01:00:28,307 --> 01:00:31,667 Speaker 3: but you know, I'm not sure it's that valuable to 1214 01:00:33,187 --> 01:00:35,907 Speaker 3: assume anything in the absence of absolute knowledge. But I 1215 01:00:35,947 --> 01:00:37,547 Speaker 3: know what you're saying, and I know a lot of 1216 01:00:37,587 --> 01:00:41,467 Speaker 3: things have been said about you know, about who said what. 1217 01:00:42,187 --> 01:00:44,027 Speaker 3: We'll take some more calls on the NEBUL eight hundred 1218 01:00:44,027 --> 01:00:46,427 Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty if you text through here Jason. 1219 01:00:46,467 --> 01:00:49,707 Speaker 3: The silver firm's conceded sixteen points in the last quarter, 1220 01:00:50,467 --> 01:00:53,587 Speaker 3: clearly indicating a lack of fitness. Do you need any 1221 01:00:53,587 --> 01:00:56,507 Speaker 3: more proof they do not meet the fitness requirements that 1222 01:00:56,627 --> 01:01:03,067 Speaker 3: Dame Noleine required. Look, Terry, thanks for your text. I 1223 01:01:03,707 --> 01:01:08,387 Speaker 3: don't know that a player will stop trying to reach 1224 01:01:08,387 --> 01:01:10,867 Speaker 3: fitness targets just because their coach isn't there to drive 1225 01:01:10,867 --> 01:01:14,587 Speaker 3: them anymore. Maybe that is naive. Maybe I don't know. 1226 01:01:14,787 --> 01:01:18,067 Speaker 3: Maybe there are players in the team who who do 1227 01:01:18,227 --> 01:01:22,947 Speaker 3: need to have a hard task master driving them on. 1228 01:01:23,787 --> 01:01:24,227 Speaker 13: I don't know. 1229 01:01:24,507 --> 01:01:27,587 Speaker 3: Maybe they do, but I'm not sure that a player's 1230 01:01:28,347 --> 01:01:33,947 Speaker 3: personal and professional pride would stop them from wanting to 1231 01:01:33,987 --> 01:01:39,027 Speaker 3: be as fit as they possibly could. Dame Noline says 1232 01:01:39,027 --> 01:01:41,947 Speaker 3: this text from ra would have been totally annoyed at 1233 01:01:41,947 --> 01:01:43,707 Speaker 3: the lack of fitness coming home to roost in the 1234 01:01:43,707 --> 01:01:46,867 Speaker 3: fourth quarter, lack of oxygen going to the brain leading 1235 01:01:46,907 --> 01:01:53,707 Speaker 3: to inexcusable mistakes and handling errors. Hello Heather, oh. 1236 01:01:53,587 --> 01:01:58,507 Speaker 23: Gosh, that was fast. Hello, I'm speaking with Jason am 1237 01:01:58,507 --> 01:02:03,547 Speaker 23: I you are right. There's a lot of things I 1238 01:02:03,587 --> 01:02:05,747 Speaker 23: could say, as I guess many people who don't ring 1239 01:02:05,907 --> 01:02:11,387 Speaker 23: as well. But I do wish to remind people that 1240 01:02:11,827 --> 01:02:15,587 Speaker 23: it is not a great big deal that we perhaps 1241 01:02:15,747 --> 01:02:20,027 Speaker 23: lost this first game by seventeen goals, and I wish 1242 01:02:20,067 --> 01:02:25,147 Speaker 23: to remind people of the following one. In the Commonwealth 1243 01:02:25,307 --> 01:02:32,547 Speaker 23: Games we were third with under the tutelage of Nolentura, 1244 01:02:33,787 --> 01:02:40,507 Speaker 23: we were third the most recent Commonwealth Games. Then in 1245 01:02:40,587 --> 01:02:45,107 Speaker 23: the World Cup, which was in twenty twenty three, just 1246 01:02:45,187 --> 01:02:50,747 Speaker 23: two years ago, we didn't even make the podium again 1247 01:02:50,947 --> 01:02:57,627 Speaker 23: under the tutelage of Noline. Now, I wish not to 1248 01:02:57,707 --> 01:03:02,147 Speaker 23: cast suspersions dispersions on her at all. I simply wish 1249 01:03:02,227 --> 01:03:09,747 Speaker 23: to remind the netball people who bring in constantly that 1250 01:03:10,187 --> 01:03:13,027 Speaker 23: in fact she's not the biggory that everyone is saying 1251 01:03:13,107 --> 01:03:18,227 Speaker 23: she is. Nobody is in any sport and that the 1252 01:03:18,267 --> 01:03:22,467 Speaker 23: failure is huge. Failure at the World Cup in twenty 1253 01:03:22,507 --> 01:03:26,947 Speaker 23: twenty three is the first time in the history of 1254 01:03:26,987 --> 01:03:30,107 Speaker 23: the game, our game here in New Zealand and the 1255 01:03:30,147 --> 01:03:33,467 Speaker 23: World Cup that we have not been on the podium. 1256 01:03:33,947 --> 01:03:37,147 Speaker 23: So that's what I'm bringing to the conversation. Just for 1257 01:03:37,227 --> 01:03:40,107 Speaker 23: people to chew over things a bit and maybe just 1258 01:03:40,547 --> 01:03:43,747 Speaker 23: a little bit of perspective will go a long way. 1259 01:03:44,267 --> 01:03:47,227 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very interesting point you make, And I 1260 01:03:47,307 --> 01:03:52,187 Speaker 3: wonder whether if there was concern about Dame Nolene's performance 1261 01:03:52,947 --> 01:03:56,587 Speaker 3: as a head coach of the Silver Ferns, why she 1262 01:03:57,187 --> 01:04:02,027 Speaker 3: wasn't subjected to some performance management in that case, Why 1263 01:04:02,027 --> 01:04:07,067 Speaker 3: did it take for this other outside stuff to come 1264 01:04:07,107 --> 01:04:10,987 Speaker 3: to the fore for her to be taken out of there. 1265 01:04:11,387 --> 01:04:13,427 Speaker 3: I guess what I'm saying is Neckborn, New Zealand back 1266 01:04:13,427 --> 01:04:14,467 Speaker 3: to her as their head coach. 1267 01:04:16,307 --> 01:04:19,987 Speaker 23: Yeah, well I don't know that either, Jason, neither do you. 1268 01:04:20,427 --> 01:04:24,947 Speaker 23: And you know I'm not one for conjecture, especially under 1269 01:04:25,347 --> 01:04:28,627 Speaker 23: the circumstances where in fact we don't know, and where 1270 01:04:28,707 --> 01:04:31,147 Speaker 23: in fact I have had respect for her and I 1271 01:04:31,227 --> 01:04:34,867 Speaker 23: certainly have respect for the players, and to put one 1272 01:04:34,947 --> 01:04:38,707 Speaker 23: side down against the other when people don't know. I 1273 01:04:38,787 --> 01:04:43,307 Speaker 23: have found really, really, really frustrating. So that's all I 1274 01:04:43,347 --> 01:04:47,587 Speaker 23: wanted to say on this point. With respect to everybody. 1275 01:04:48,547 --> 01:04:50,587 Speaker 3: Heather, thank you so much for calling no, and great 1276 01:04:50,627 --> 01:04:53,227 Speaker 3: respect to you for calling. I think we can all 1277 01:04:53,267 --> 01:04:56,507 Speaker 3: agree on that final point. It has been deeply frustrating 1278 01:04:57,067 --> 01:04:59,907 Speaker 3: watching this all play out. I appreciate you taking the 1279 01:04:59,947 --> 01:05:01,907 Speaker 3: time to call us, Heather, thank you for all your 1280 01:05:01,907 --> 01:05:04,987 Speaker 3: calls and correspondence. Twenty six to two. Let's shift across 1281 01:05:05,467 --> 01:05:10,027 Speaker 3: to RUGB.

Otago 1284 01:05:16,747 --> 01:05:19,427 Speaker 3: head twenty one twelve at the break and then overwhelm 1285 01:05:19,547 --> 01:05:23,027 Speaker 3: the Steamers with a seventeen point surge to assert their dominance. 1286 01:05:23,067 --> 01:05:23,787 Speaker 3: So I'm the advantage. 1287 01:05:23,827 --> 01:05:24,627 Speaker 2: I ain't fifteen out. 1288 01:05:24,627 --> 01:05:26,227 Speaker 3: Pleasure try to breach the defense. 1289 01:05:26,307 --> 01:05:28,867 Speaker 5: Bill A steps inside, Won steps inside two bag and tripe. 1290 01:05:28,867 --> 01:05:30,027 Speaker 4: Pleasure to try. 1291 01:05:30,507 --> 01:05:33,387 Speaker 5: Dylan Preacher scauses height to try this year there was 1292 01:05:33,427 --> 01:05:34,427 Speaker 5: a mistackling there. 1293 01:05:34,707 --> 01:05:38,267 Speaker 3: Pleasure touches down and between the uprights. Otago extend their 1294 01:05:38,267 --> 01:05:40,987 Speaker 3: halftime lead. So Otaga will play the winner of tonight's 1295 01:05:40,987 --> 01:05:44,307 Speaker 3: second semi between Canterbury and Hawks Bay.

It'd 1439 01:11:47,867 --> 01:11:51,187 Speaker 24: be cool to see that. Whatever way that game goes, 1440 01:11:51,227 --> 01:11:54,427 Speaker 24: I guess the boys have to prepare him, prepare. 1441 01:11:54,187 --> 01:11:57,067 Speaker 3: For whim and they talk about earning another Monday, which 1442 01:11:57,147 --> 01:11:59,267 Speaker 3: you guys have obviously done with you with your win 1443 01:11:59,347 --> 01:12:02,507 Speaker 3: last night. What do you think the weak ahead will 1444 01:12:02,547 --> 01:12:04,867 Speaker 3: look like. Do you get the feeling that you'll try 1445 01:12:04,947 --> 01:12:07,267 Speaker 3: as a playing group and think the coaches will encourage 1446 01:12:07,307 --> 01:12:09,547 Speaker 3: you just to treat it like another week, or will 1447 01:12:09,587 --> 01:12:12,187 Speaker 3: you actually embrace the fact that there's a massive game 1448 01:12:12,227 --> 01:12:12,827 Speaker 3: at the end of it. 1449 01:12:13,627 --> 01:12:16,227 Speaker 24: Yeah, definitely, I think it'll be much the same as 1450 01:12:16,667 --> 01:12:17,347 Speaker 24: any other week. 1451 01:12:17,347 --> 01:12:19,507 Speaker 18: I don't think we have to look at it two deep. 1452 01:12:19,547 --> 01:12:22,667 Speaker 24: It's obviously a big game, but if we trust ch 1453 01:12:22,987 --> 01:12:24,867 Speaker 24: our game plan, I think we can get it done. 1454 01:12:25,267 --> 01:12:27,507 Speaker 3: He's starting to get recognized around the streets of Dunedin. 1455 01:12:27,587 --> 01:12:30,987 Speaker 25: Now No, not yet. 1456 01:12:31,107 --> 01:12:34,467 Speaker 3: No, you'd be very modest, mate, and I think there's 1457 01:12:34,507 --> 01:12:36,987 Speaker 3: probably a hallmark of the way you're playing.

They've got the 1483 01:13:50,427 --> 01:13:53,267 Speaker 12: best horse in Hong Kong who actually is a Kiwi. 1484 01:13:53,347 --> 01:13:56,707 Speaker 12: It was brought out of New Zealand, Carying Rising. He's 1485 01:13:56,707 --> 01:14:00,347 Speaker 12: the dominant favorite in a twenty million dollar Ossie Everest. 1486 01:14:01,507 --> 01:14:04,467 Speaker 12: It's quite extraordinary when you say that sentence. But yeah, 1487 01:14:04,627 --> 01:14:08,027 Speaker 12: which means that all upon will be watching as well, 1488 01:14:08,067 --> 01:14:11,867 Speaker 12: and for betting, that means that pools are juiced up. 1489 01:14:11,907 --> 01:14:14,347 Speaker 12: But in terms of the talk this, well, yeah, it's 1490 01:14:14,387 --> 01:14:16,427 Speaker 12: been all about the Everest, which is Melbourne Cup. 1491 01:14:16,587 --> 01:14:19,747 Speaker 3: Like really, yeah, absolutely brilliant. I watering money. As you say, 1492 01:14:19,787 --> 01:14:21,427 Speaker 3: when you say it, you got to say it quickly 1493 01:14:21,467 --> 01:14:24,347 Speaker 3: otherwise it doesn't seem real, does it. But yeah, looking 1494 01:14:24,387 --> 01:14:27,427 Speaker 3: forward to seeing what happens with Keyward connections. There other 1495 01:14:27,507 --> 01:14:29,987 Speaker 3: metters around today, one of your all time great swimmers, 1496 01:14:30,347 --> 01:14:34,187 Speaker 3: four time Olympic gold medalist, nine time World Championship middleist, 1497 01:14:34,227 --> 01:14:36,787 Speaker 3: including four golds there as well, ari An Titmas, has 1498 01:14:36,827 --> 01:14:38,987 Speaker 3: announced her retirement. What's her legacy? 1499 01:14:39,787 --> 01:14:42,947 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's just a fabulous swimmer and a really down 1500 01:14:42,987 --> 01:14:46,387 Speaker 12: to worth human being obviously, but it's probably more important 1501 01:14:46,867 --> 01:14:48,947 Speaker 12: in terms of what she did at the Games and 1502 01:14:48,987 --> 01:14:52,387 Speaker 12: taking on Katie Ladecki, the great American swimmer. Some of 1503 01:14:52,427 --> 01:14:55,747 Speaker 12: those battles at World Championship and Olympic Games level with 1504 01:14:56,307 --> 01:14:59,827 Speaker 12: phenomenal and won't be forgotten soon. But yeah, she's only 1505 01:14:59,867 --> 01:15:02,787 Speaker 12: in her mid twenties. But I guess she's after Paris 1506 01:15:02,867 --> 01:15:05,507 Speaker 12: last year she decided, oh you know what, I'll have 1507 01:15:05,547 --> 01:15:07,227 Speaker 12: a bit of a break and see where I'm at. 1508 01:15:07,467 --> 01:15:09,987 Speaker 12: And then twelve months on, I think she's realized that 1509 01:15:10,027 --> 01:15:12,307 Speaker 12: there's more to life than getting up at three thirty 1510 01:15:12,307 --> 01:15:14,467 Speaker 12: in the morning and going looking at a black line 1511 01:15:14,827 --> 01:15:17,067 Speaker 12: the whole time, so at the bottom of a pool. 1512 01:15:17,147 --> 01:15:21,987 Speaker 12: So yeah, unreal legacy. She'll obviously transition into some kind 1513 01:15:22,027 --> 01:15:26,427 Speaker 12: of public speaking and media role, a lot to offer 1514 01:15:26,627 --> 01:15:30,307 Speaker 12: everything around tipness and yeah, it's a shame that she 1515 01:15:30,747 --> 01:15:33,307 Speaker 12: goes and won't be around for LA But no real shock. 1516 01:15:33,707 --> 01:15:35,987 Speaker 3: I guess it's so funny, isn't she Watually twenty five, 1517 01:15:36,347 --> 01:15:39,307 Speaker 3: she's done so much. I mean that's the swimming nature 1518 01:15:39,347 --> 01:15:41,267 Speaker 3: of swimming, isn't it that they start so young, they 1519 01:15:41,267 --> 01:15:43,347 Speaker 3: achieve so much, and then they've got a whole heap 1520 01:15:43,387 --> 01:15:45,227 Speaker 3: of life left to do to do what they want with. 1521 01:15:45,307 --> 01:15:47,867 Speaker 3: I'm not surprised she's decided to do something different. 1522 01:15:48,507 --> 01:15:51,707 Speaker 12: Yeah, and it is so physically taxic and mentally. 1523 01:15:51,387 --> 01:15:52,827 Speaker 17: As well, just the grind. 1524 01:15:53,067 --> 01:15:57,227 Speaker 12: There's no quick way to becoming an elite Olympic swimmer, 1525 01:15:57,267 --> 01:15:59,707 Speaker 12: especially over the distances that she was swimming two hundred, 1526 01:15:59,747 --> 01:16:02,547 Speaker 12: four hundred, four hundred probably a specialty. 1527 01:16:03,587 --> 01:16:04,387 Speaker 18: That's a lot of work. 1528 01:16:04,507 --> 01:16:05,627 Speaker 2: So yeah, she's. 1529 01:16:06,347 --> 01:16:09,547 Speaker 12: Decided that that's probably enough, thanks very much, and going 1530 01:16:09,587 --> 01:16:10,747 Speaker 12: to something else with my life. 1531 01:16:10,787 --> 01:16:13,187 Speaker 3: We're about a month away from the Ashes getting underway. 1532 01:16:13,187 --> 01:16:15,347 Speaker 3: The first Test starts on the twenty first and November 1533 01:16:15,427 --> 01:16:19,747 Speaker 3: across in Perth. Stuart Broad has stoked the flames by 1534 01:16:19,747 --> 01:16:22,787 Speaker 3: saying that he thinks this is the worst Australian team 1535 01:16:22,787 --> 01:16:24,707 Speaker 3: in about a decade and a half. And imagine those 1536 01:16:24,707 --> 01:16:26,707 Speaker 3: comments have gone down fairly well over there. 1537 01:16:28,507 --> 01:16:32,747 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's like you could see where he's coming from. 1538 01:16:32,787 --> 01:16:37,267 Speaker 12: But I mean that's probably more a point at England 1539 01:16:37,307 --> 01:16:39,067 Speaker 12: who haven't been able to win an Ashes in that 1540 01:16:39,107 --> 01:16:46,667 Speaker 12: period where they've been so yeah, it's that they have 1541 01:16:46,827 --> 01:16:49,067 Speaker 12: They've got near us on English soil, but on Australian Saul, 1542 01:16:49,107 --> 01:16:51,467 Speaker 12: I've got nowhere near us in the last couple of occasions, 1543 01:16:51,507 --> 01:16:54,227 Speaker 12: in particular what happened here four years ago. Look, it's 1544 01:16:54,267 --> 01:16:58,667 Speaker 12: going to be an unreal series because it's really hard 1545 01:16:58,707 --> 01:17:02,547 Speaker 12: to define exactly what's what Because England have got a 1546 01:17:02,547 --> 01:17:04,947 Speaker 12: great batting line up, their bowling stocks are good, but 1547 01:17:05,067 --> 01:17:07,227 Speaker 12: if they lose their too quick in Archer and Wood 1548 01:17:08,067 --> 01:17:10,827 Speaker 12: that it looks pretty exposed, whereas our bowling stocks was 1549 01:17:10,867 --> 01:17:13,707 Speaker 12: looking good before Pat complained about his back. So we're 1550 01:17:13,707 --> 01:17:15,587 Speaker 12: still wedding on that. Pat come as our captain now 1551 01:17:15,627 --> 01:17:18,707 Speaker 12: batting lineup, we're still jocking around. Look this week Manus 1552 01:17:18,747 --> 01:17:21,307 Speaker 12: Lavashane scored another centur in Sheffield Shields, so I reckon 1553 01:17:21,347 --> 01:17:23,267 Speaker 12: Marnus is definitely going to be in that top six 1554 01:17:23,307 --> 01:17:26,267 Speaker 12: for Australia. Don't know exactly what spot, so that's good. 1555 01:17:26,307 --> 01:17:28,387 Speaker 12: But Cameron Green has gone down with a side strain, 1556 01:17:28,467 --> 01:17:30,667 Speaker 12: our big all rounder who you know from over there 1557 01:17:30,667 --> 01:17:33,147 Speaker 12: from his center in New Zealand. So yeah, plenty of 1558 01:17:33,267 --> 01:17:36,027 Speaker 12: plenty of questions, plenty of talking points, plenty of accusations 1559 01:17:36,027 --> 01:17:38,187 Speaker 12: to come before the whole thing starts in about a 1560 01:17:38,187 --> 01:17:39,107 Speaker 12: month's time in Perth. 1561 01:17:39,187 --> 01:17:41,627 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and speaking of getting started, the A League is 1562 01:17:41,667 --> 01:17:43,947 Speaker 3: underway the A League Men's competition a couple of games 1563 01:17:44,027 --> 01:17:46,907 Speaker 3: last night, Adelaide United beating SYDNEYFC two one in the 1564 01:17:46,947 --> 01:17:49,987 Speaker 3: opening match. I think who forked Talay former Wellington Phoenix 1565 01:17:50,027 --> 01:17:52,187 Speaker 3: coach of course and Sydney f C coach for the 1566 01:17:52,227 --> 01:17:54,867 Speaker 3: last few seasons. I think he was under pressure anyway. 1567 01:17:54,867 --> 01:17:55,747 Speaker 3: This won't help, will it. 1568 01:17:57,107 --> 01:17:57,867 Speaker 11: No? 1569 01:17:57,867 --> 01:18:01,747 Speaker 12: No, under big pressure and you can see Sydney's weird. 1570 01:18:02,027 --> 01:18:05,627 Speaker 12: They've got some kids coming through. They've probably got on 1571 01:18:05,827 --> 01:18:08,107 Speaker 12: this scene pretty well. They've probably got the best academy 1572 01:18:08,627 --> 01:18:11,307 Speaker 12: in Sydney in terms of playing stocks with this youngster's 1573 01:18:11,347 --> 01:18:13,467 Speaker 12: coming through. But then you look at that starting line 1574 01:18:13,507 --> 01:18:16,387 Speaker 12: up last night and not one that I don't think 1575 01:18:16,427 --> 01:18:18,787 Speaker 12: there's many academy graduates and they had an average starting 1576 01:18:18,787 --> 01:18:21,867 Speaker 12: age of twenty seven and they still get beat. So 1577 01:18:22,347 --> 01:18:24,787 Speaker 12: I don't know exactly where they're at Sydney. They've given 1578 01:18:24,787 --> 01:18:28,467 Speaker 12: them or for a one year contract exactly, ringing endorsement 1579 01:18:28,507 --> 01:18:28,747 Speaker 12: is it? 1580 01:18:29,227 --> 01:18:29,427 Speaker 17: So? 1581 01:18:29,907 --> 01:18:35,187 Speaker 12: Yeah, his first month is filled with a bit of pressure, 1582 01:18:35,187 --> 01:18:37,627 Speaker 12: I reckon and as you say, last night doesn't help me. 1583 01:18:37,867 --> 01:18:40,227 Speaker 12: Brisbane got a good first up win against MacArthur. I 1584 01:18:40,227 --> 01:18:43,507 Speaker 12: thought MacArthur were one of the better sides in recruitment 1585 01:18:44,067 --> 01:18:47,067 Speaker 12: stakes in the off season. But important for Britain. They're 1586 01:18:47,067 --> 01:18:48,827 Speaker 12: trying to reset as a club full stop up there. 1587 01:18:49,147 --> 01:18:51,907 Speaker 3: Yeah, And Aukland FC and the Wellington Phoenix both in 1588 01:18:52,427 --> 01:18:55,347 Speaker 3: action later on tonight. Auckland f C against Melbourne victory 1589 01:18:55,347 --> 01:18:57,747 Speaker 3: the Phoenix over in Perth. Auckland f c. I mean, 1590 01:18:57,987 --> 01:18:59,787 Speaker 3: we spoke a lot about them last year and their 1591 01:18:59,787 --> 01:19:03,987 Speaker 3: maiden season. Look second season syndrome? Is it a thing? 1592 01:19:03,987 --> 01:19:06,347 Speaker 3: And if it is, how do you avoid falling into it? 1593 01:19:07,507 --> 01:19:10,187 Speaker 12: I just think they've got they've got They've set their 1594 01:19:10,187 --> 01:19:12,987 Speaker 12: structure really well straight away, in terms of recruitment, in 1595 01:19:13,067 --> 01:19:16,987 Speaker 12: terms of personnel, in terms of connection to community. Look 1596 01:19:17,027 --> 01:19:19,467 Speaker 12: at nothing to guarantee and Steph Kayak has got a 1597 01:19:19,547 --> 01:19:21,067 Speaker 12: job in his hands to make sure that what you 1598 01:19:21,067 --> 01:19:23,627 Speaker 12: said there doesn't happen. But you tell me, I see 1599 01:19:23,667 --> 01:19:29,027 Speaker 12: on paper no reason to suggest that Auckland fall even once. 1600 01:19:29,107 --> 01:19:29,987 Speaker 17: But I've got them. 1601 01:19:29,907 --> 01:19:32,107 Speaker 6: As first pass the post for the season. 1602 01:19:33,107 --> 01:19:33,987 Speaker 18: But I don't know. 1603 01:19:34,867 --> 01:19:38,587 Speaker 12: Maybe personnel, a few an heroes might not be there 1604 01:19:38,747 --> 01:19:43,147 Speaker 12: as and people who didn't get the attention pioneers as 1605 01:19:43,187 --> 01:19:45,587 Speaker 12: last year. But I can't see too many reasons to 1606 01:19:45,867 --> 01:19:46,867 Speaker 12: think that they're going to fall. 1607 01:19:47,027 --> 01:19:50,547 Speaker 3: I think outside a goalkeeper they're stronger, actually, But losing 1608 01:19:50,547 --> 01:19:53,547 Speaker 3: Alex Paulson, two time A League goalkeeper of the Year, 1609 01:19:53,547 --> 01:19:55,747 Speaker 3: that's the only question mark for me, and whether Oli 1610 01:19:55,827 --> 01:19:58,747 Speaker 3: sale and or Michael Vaud can fill that void. Other 1611 01:19:58,827 --> 01:20:00,947 Speaker 3: than that, I think you know the players they've brought 1612 01:20:00,947 --> 01:20:03,507 Speaker 3: in and potentially upgrades on what they had. So yeah, 1613 01:20:03,627 --> 01:20:05,147 Speaker 3: like you, I expect them to be in and around 1614 01:20:05,147 --> 01:20:07,587 Speaker 3: the silverware. I guess you won't find out what we've 1615 01:20:07,627 --> 01:20:09,587 Speaker 3: learned about the A League over twenty years. If nothing 1616 01:20:09,667 --> 01:20:12,507 Speaker 3: is certain. It's the most mental league going around, isn't it. 1617 01:20:13,387 --> 01:20:14,227 Speaker 25: Yeah? 1618 01:20:13,827 --> 01:20:16,947 Speaker 12: Yeah, you think you've built a handle and then someone 1619 01:20:16,987 --> 01:20:19,307 Speaker 12: goes off and recruits a couple of guys that you 1620 01:20:19,387 --> 01:20:21,507 Speaker 12: look at their CV and you go oh yeah, and 1621 01:20:21,507 --> 01:20:23,347 Speaker 12: they haven't really done the business in their career and 1622 01:20:23,347 --> 01:20:25,267 Speaker 12: they come out here and they just love the sun 1623 01:20:25,307 --> 01:20:26,987 Speaker 12: on their back or something.

Is he kind of 1793 01:28:54,427 --> 01:28:56,467 Speaker 3: a like for like for Nate Armadino or is he 1794 01:28:56,747 --> 01:29:00,387 Speaker 3: a different type of player a little bit different. 1795 01:29:00,427 --> 01:29:04,627 Speaker 28: I think he's you know, he's very comfortable on the ball, 1796 01:29:04,747 --> 01:29:08,787 Speaker 28: very technical player, good goals. He's got a good cross 1797 01:29:08,787 --> 01:29:12,067 Speaker 28: as well, which we looked at for Sam as well, 1798 01:29:12,067 --> 01:29:16,347 Speaker 28: which could help him. He can play as a ten 1799 01:29:17,347 --> 01:29:19,627 Speaker 28: or in the white areas as well, so it gives 1800 01:29:19,707 --> 01:29:22,027 Speaker 28: us good flexibility with him as well. 1801 01:29:22,907 --> 01:29:26,867 Speaker 15: Obviously, Nada scored you know, numerous amount of goals last year. 1802 01:29:26,867 --> 01:29:28,347 Speaker 27: I think it was about nine I think he got, 1803 01:29:28,427 --> 01:29:30,867 Speaker 27: so you know, he's got to try and chip in 1804 01:29:30,947 --> 01:29:32,147 Speaker 27: as well with a lot of goals. 1805 01:29:32,467 --> 01:29:33,947 Speaker 15: The last time he was in the A League he 1806 01:29:33,987 --> 01:29:37,147 Speaker 15: scored nine with Wonderers, so we're hoping we get much 1807 01:29:37,147 --> 01:29:38,387 Speaker 15: of the same return from him. 1808 01:29:38,987 --> 01:29:40,947 Speaker 3: Who's going to play and goal for you in your 1809 01:29:40,947 --> 01:29:41,707 Speaker 3: first game. 1810 01:29:43,787 --> 01:29:45,907 Speaker 15: We'll at the moment of Michael. 1811 01:29:46,027 --> 01:29:49,587 Speaker 27: Michael will be goals for the first game, so you 1812 01:29:49,587 --> 01:29:52,947 Speaker 27: know he's waited a long time, Michael, He's had obviously 1813 01:29:53,067 --> 01:29:56,427 Speaker 27: Alex in front of him and didn't get a sniff 1814 01:29:56,507 --> 01:29:56,907 Speaker 27: last year. 1815 01:29:56,907 --> 01:30:01,147 Speaker 15: Obviously Alex played every game and that's his opportunity. So 1816 01:30:01,307 --> 01:30:02,827 Speaker 15: the rest is up to him. I can only give 1817 01:30:02,907 --> 01:30:06,747 Speaker 15: him the opportunity to do what we expect from. 1818 01:30:06,667 --> 01:30:11,747 Speaker 27: Him, and then you know that's it. I again, he will, 1819 01:30:11,947 --> 01:30:14,707 Speaker 27: he will take it with both hands, and obviously you 1820 01:30:14,747 --> 01:30:17,147 Speaker 27: know Olie's there to push him along all the way. 1821 01:30:17,227 --> 01:30:20,027 Speaker 27: And you know we're we're happy to have Olie is 1822 01:30:20,067 --> 01:30:23,707 Speaker 27: obviously an Auckland boy as well. It's great to have 1823 01:30:23,747 --> 01:30:26,147 Speaker 27: two very good goalkeepers like we did last season. 1824 01:30:26,627 --> 01:30:28,867 Speaker 3: There's your message to Olie similar to what your message 1825 01:30:28,867 --> 01:30:31,507 Speaker 3: watched to Michael last season. Just just keep the pressure on, 1826 01:30:31,867 --> 01:30:33,947 Speaker 3: wait for the opportunity if and when it comes along. 1827 01:30:34,787 --> 01:30:37,107 Speaker 15: Yeah, exactly, you know that's all. And he knew that 1828 01:30:37,307 --> 01:30:39,507 Speaker 15: from from the start. Oli did when he when he 1829 01:30:39,547 --> 01:30:42,107 Speaker 15: came in, so you know, so. 1830 01:30:42,347 --> 01:30:45,107 Speaker 27: Secret he made it clear at the moment he's number one, 1831 01:30:45,187 --> 01:30:47,547 Speaker 27: and then you know it's up to you to either 1832 01:30:47,587 --> 01:30:48,467 Speaker 27: push him out or. 1833 01:30:50,107 --> 01:30:52,947 Speaker 15: Do everything you can too, you know, to keep him 1834 01:30:52,947 --> 01:30:56,107 Speaker 15: on his toes at least so it's they get on 1835 01:30:56,147 --> 01:30:56,627 Speaker 15: really well. 1836 01:30:57,027 --> 01:30:59,587 Speaker 27: They have a good combination. I think they're the good banter. 1837 01:31:00,107 --> 01:31:02,227 Speaker 27: So I'm really pleased with both of them. 1838 01:31:02,707 --> 01:31:06,067 Speaker 3: Will you play in largely the same way as you 1839 01:31:06,147 --> 01:31:07,027 Speaker 3: did last season? 1840 01:31:09,067 --> 01:31:09,267 Speaker 25: Yeah? 1841 01:31:09,347 --> 01:31:09,787 Speaker 2: Possibly. 1842 01:31:09,907 --> 01:31:11,947 Speaker 27: I think we've got a few options, different options. Like 1843 01:31:11,947 --> 01:31:13,387 Speaker 27: I said, we can play with the ten, we can 1844 01:31:13,427 --> 01:31:16,627 Speaker 27: play with the two nines. When Cacemo plays, he's playing 1845 01:31:16,667 --> 01:31:19,187 Speaker 27: like a ten anyway with now with Big Sam and 1846 01:31:20,067 --> 01:31:22,227 Speaker 27: Jesse's had a very good pre season as well. 1847 01:31:22,147 --> 01:31:27,347 Speaker 15: Jesse Randall. So yeah, we've got a few different options 1848 01:31:27,387 --> 01:31:28,387 Speaker 15: to choose from. 1849 01:31:28,427 --> 01:31:32,187 Speaker 27: We went with a back five also last season when 1850 01:31:32,227 --> 01:31:35,187 Speaker 27: we needed to, and you know, that's an option. 1851 01:31:35,307 --> 01:31:37,427 Speaker 15: I think at some stage I would say. 1852 01:31:38,427 --> 01:31:40,347 Speaker 3: You have been around the league for a long time, Steve, 1853 01:31:40,387 --> 01:31:42,667 Speaker 3: as we all know as a player and as a coach. 1854 01:31:42,907 --> 01:31:46,507 Speaker 3: Did you learn anything new last season? Anything new about 1855 01:31:46,547 --> 01:31:48,707 Speaker 3: the league? I guess from being in a startup club 1856 01:31:48,787 --> 01:31:51,027 Speaker 3: or being in a different country that will be valuable 1857 01:31:51,027 --> 01:31:51,907 Speaker 3: to you this time around. 1858 01:31:53,547 --> 01:31:56,667 Speaker 27: I just, you know, I just enjoyed the experience of 1859 01:31:57,267 --> 01:32:00,267 Speaker 27: you know, coaching, and obviously in New Zealand starting our 1860 01:32:00,307 --> 01:32:03,507 Speaker 27: new club, that was really. 1861 01:32:03,227 --> 01:32:04,387 Speaker 15: Exciting for me. 1862 01:32:04,907 --> 01:32:09,667 Speaker 27: And obviously, you know, try Doug. We all we've all enjoyed, 1863 01:32:09,987 --> 01:32:13,547 Speaker 27: you know, putting a good old team together in the 1864 01:32:13,547 --> 01:32:17,027 Speaker 27: first season. Like I said, for me, now it's about 1865 01:32:17,987 --> 01:32:18,427 Speaker 27: I think. 1866 01:32:18,267 --> 01:32:20,747 Speaker 2: We've done that. We showed we've. 1867 01:32:20,067 --> 01:32:23,067 Speaker 27: Got very good players, good talented young locals as well, 1868 01:32:23,987 --> 01:32:26,147 Speaker 27: and now it's time to show that we can do 1869 01:32:26,187 --> 01:32:26,587 Speaker 27: it again. 1870 01:32:26,987 --> 01:32:28,707 Speaker 3: You mentioned a couple of injuries there. I think Nanda 1871 01:32:28,747 --> 01:32:30,347 Speaker 3: Pinik is still a couple of weeks away as new 1872 01:32:30,347 --> 01:32:32,787 Speaker 3: Phelipe Guy Gos. The other one, is it just those 1873 01:32:32,787 --> 01:32:35,547 Speaker 3: two Steve anybody else not in contention week one? 1874 01:32:37,427 --> 01:32:39,227 Speaker 15: No, I think it should be only them two. 1875 01:32:40,067 --> 01:32:42,187 Speaker 27: You know, we had Pushamo out for four to five 1876 01:32:42,227 --> 01:32:46,627 Speaker 27: weeks as well as Dan Hall. But they both played 1877 01:32:46,707 --> 01:32:51,067 Speaker 27: last week against Melbourne City and a friendly, so they 1878 01:32:51,667 --> 01:32:55,227 Speaker 27: they've come through and they should be fined for for 1879 01:32:55,267 --> 01:32:56,907 Speaker 27: the weekend. But in a bit of the two that 1880 01:32:56,987 --> 01:32:59,187 Speaker 27: you you mentioned there at the moment. 1881 01:32:59,107 --> 01:33:02,947 Speaker 3: In Melbourne victory. First up, how much extra spice on 1882 01:33:03,027 --> 01:33:05,787 Speaker 3: this one given a with a side to deny you 1883 01:33:05,827 --> 01:33:07,667 Speaker 3: a spot on the Grand Final last season? 1884 01:33:08,867 --> 01:33:12,627 Speaker 15: Yeah, obviously very spicy. We're looking forward to it. 1885 01:33:12,867 --> 01:33:15,267 Speaker 27: I think being away from home also puts a lot 1886 01:33:15,307 --> 01:33:18,307 Speaker 27: of pressure on them. Being at home first game of season. 1887 01:33:18,987 --> 01:33:21,027 Speaker 27: We want revenge, so I think it's going to be 1888 01:33:21,267 --> 01:33:22,347 Speaker 27: a very good encounter. 1889 01:33:22,427 --> 01:33:23,187 Speaker 25: They're a good team. 1890 01:33:23,227 --> 01:33:26,347 Speaker 15: They've strengthened I think as well. They've They've had a 1891 01:33:26,707 --> 01:33:27,787 Speaker 15: few players leave and. 1892 01:33:27,787 --> 01:33:30,067 Speaker 27: Go overseas and I think they've brought in some really 1893 01:33:30,067 --> 01:33:33,107 Speaker 27: good players as well. So Arthur Dillis is doing a 1894 01:33:33,107 --> 01:33:36,227 Speaker 27: good job there. And yeah, yeah, I'm looking forward to 1895 01:33:36,267 --> 01:33:39,627 Speaker 27: the first game. Obviously, you want to get off to 1896 01:33:39,667 --> 01:33:42,907 Speaker 27: a winning start, so hopefully we can do what we've 1897 01:33:42,947 --> 01:33:46,547 Speaker 27: done down in Melbourne in recent times and get the 1898 01:33:46,547 --> 01:33:47,907 Speaker 27: three points to come home with them. 1899 01:33:48,027 --> 01:33:49,347 Speaker 3: And I know you're very much a game at a 1900 01:33:49,427 --> 01:33:53,187 Speaker 3: time kind of boss, but how keen are you to 1901 01:33:53,227 --> 01:33:58,507 Speaker 3: continue your dominance and the Derby's against Wellington Phoenix this season, Well. 1902 01:33:58,347 --> 01:33:59,347 Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to them. 1903 01:33:59,387 --> 01:34:00,747 Speaker 15: They're very excited. 1904 01:34:00,907 --> 01:34:05,707 Speaker 27: The first thing you look at when the fixtures come out, Yeah, 1905 01:34:05,947 --> 01:34:08,187 Speaker 27: that's it's another thing. You know, we've got two away 1906 01:34:08,267 --> 01:34:13,787 Speaker 27: this year. We want to continue winning it not you 1907 01:34:14,067 --> 01:34:17,787 Speaker 27: go as long as possible without them beat us. So 1908 01:34:18,467 --> 01:34:21,547 Speaker 27: they're obviously going to be tough again. Derby's are always tough, 1909 01:34:21,667 --> 01:34:26,547 Speaker 27: especially the first one, so hopefully we get similar results 1910 01:34:26,587 --> 01:34:28,427 Speaker 27: that we did last season against them. 1911 01:34:28,267 --> 01:34:30,347 Speaker 3: All right, Steve, we'll leave it there mate, Thanks indeed 1912 01:34:30,387 --> 01:34:32,747 Speaker 3: for joining us on game day.

So you know, we're 1923 01:35:01,467 --> 01:35:03,387 Speaker 29: buzzing for the season to start and we can't wait 1924 01:35:03,427 --> 01:35:04,027 Speaker 29: to be out there. 1925 01:35:04,227 --> 01:35:06,947 Speaker 3: You've got some experience of this type.

So what were the 1929 01:35:15,547 --> 01:35:19,467 Speaker 3: keys to following one excellent season with another one? 1930 01:35:20,667 --> 01:35:21,227 Speaker 4: Good question? 1931 01:35:21,427 --> 01:35:25,707 Speaker 29: I think for me, obviously, I believe a lot of 1932 01:35:25,707 --> 01:35:29,627 Speaker 29: team camaraderie is a huge point of improving each year 1933 01:35:29,667 --> 01:35:33,227 Speaker 29: and just sticking together and a hard working, humble team 1934 01:35:33,267 --> 01:35:36,427 Speaker 29: I think gets a lot of good results, so that's 1935 01:35:36,467 --> 01:35:39,267 Speaker 29: definitely something we'll try to implement and obviously there's a 1936 01:35:39,307 --> 01:35:41,027 Speaker 29: little bit of luck involved, but a lot of hard 1937 01:35:41,027 --> 01:35:41,507 Speaker 29: work too. 1938 01:35:41,867 --> 01:35:44,387 Speaker 3: Your last league game was quite some time ago. I 1939 01:35:44,427 --> 01:35:47,427 Speaker 3: know you've had Australia Cup and preseason games in the meantime, 1940 01:35:47,427 --> 01:35:50,587 Speaker 3: but how do you best navigate this very long a 1941 01:35:50,667 --> 01:35:51,467 Speaker 3: league off season. 1942 01:35:51,867 --> 01:35:55,867 Speaker 29: Yeah, obviously the Australian Football Leagues has like the world's 1943 01:35:55,907 --> 01:36:00,507 Speaker 29: longest preseason, so after doing a couple I'm quite conditioned 1944 01:36:00,507 --> 01:36:01,027 Speaker 29: to them now. 1945 01:36:01,067 --> 01:36:05,187 Speaker 4: So but no, for sure, it's all about. 1946 01:36:04,907 --> 01:36:07,987 Speaker 29: Just, you know, not building it up because obviously it's 1947 01:36:07,987 --> 01:36:10,387 Speaker 29: a long season as well. But with a long preseason 1948 01:36:10,427 --> 01:36:12,227 Speaker 29: you have plenty of time to get match fits. So 1949 01:36:13,027 --> 01:36:14,947 Speaker 29: I think here at Auckland we did it very well. 1950 01:36:15,227 --> 01:36:17,227 Speaker 29: We got a lot of preseason games in and just 1951 01:36:17,827 --> 01:36:20,707 Speaker 29: got to try different combinations and work on what the 1952 01:36:20,707 --> 01:36:24,507 Speaker 29: coach wants and hopefully come Saturday that's all there to see. 1953 01:36:24,747 --> 01:36:27,867 Speaker 3: And last season, of course you forged such a cohesive 1954 01:36:27,867 --> 01:36:31,227 Speaker 3: central defensive partnership with Nando Pinnaker. He'll miss the first 1955 01:36:31,227 --> 01:36:33,587 Speaker 3: month or so of the season as he puts the 1956 01:36:33,627 --> 01:36:37,427 Speaker 3: final touches on his recovery from his injury. How strange 1957 01:36:37,467 --> 01:36:38,587 Speaker 3: is it going to be they're looking out to your 1958 01:36:38,627 --> 01:36:40,387 Speaker 3: lift and not seeing Nanda Pineker there. 1959 01:36:40,707 --> 01:36:41,547 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. 1960 01:36:42,107 --> 01:36:45,147 Speaker 29: Obviously Nando's a great player and a great person, so 1961 01:36:45,547 --> 01:36:47,867 Speaker 29: I've really enjoyed my time playing next to him and 1962 01:36:48,587 --> 01:36:50,507 Speaker 29: can't wait for when he's back out on the pitch. 1963 01:36:50,587 --> 01:36:53,787 Speaker 29: But yeah, it's going to Obviously you make a good 1964 01:36:53,827 --> 01:36:57,427 Speaker 29: connection with your center back partner. But luckily at Auckland FC, 1965 01:36:57,627 --> 01:37:00,067 Speaker 29: you know we have great depth and whoever takes a 1966 01:37:00,147 --> 01:37:03,227 Speaker 29: field on Saturday, I'm sure we'll do Auckland proud. 1967 01:37:03,427 --> 01:37:06,267 Speaker 3: And you talk about connections. A new goalkeeper behind you 1968 01:37:06,347 --> 01:37:08,307 Speaker 3: as well, Alex Paulson has moved on a course and 1969 01:37:08,347 --> 01:37:11,707 Speaker 3: we know how integral he was to your success last season. 1970 01:37:11,787 --> 01:37:14,947 Speaker 3: So how do you go about building a good relationship 1971 01:37:14,987 --> 01:37:17,947 Speaker 3: with new arrival Olie Sale and also Michael Voud who 1972 01:37:17,987 --> 01:37:19,547 Speaker 3: didn't get to play last season. 1973 01:37:19,987 --> 01:37:21,387 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just in training. 1974 01:37:21,467 --> 01:37:24,707 Speaker 29: You know, you're training with these boys every day, partnerships 1975 01:37:24,707 --> 01:37:28,067 Speaker 29: start to form. You understand play strengths and weaknesses and 1976 01:37:28,067 --> 01:37:30,707 Speaker 29: how you as a team member can help them in 1977 01:37:30,747 --> 01:37:33,507 Speaker 29: their own football journey. So I think just with time 1978 01:37:33,547 --> 01:37:35,587 Speaker 29: and a lot of training and week in week out 1979 01:37:35,667 --> 01:37:39,907 Speaker 29: you get to understand everybody and yeah, hopefully come Saturday 1980 01:37:39,947 --> 01:37:41,427 Speaker 29: that'll be able to show again. 1981 01:37:41,547 --> 01:37:43,227 Speaker 3: How much you're looking forward to getting a crack at 1982 01:37:43,227 --> 01:37:46,787 Speaker 3: Melbourne Victory nice and early this season, given the fact 1983 01:37:46,827 --> 01:37:49,347 Speaker 3: that they were the team that denied you entry into 1984 01:37:49,347 --> 01:37:50,947 Speaker 3: the Grand Final last season. 1985 01:37:51,227 --> 01:37:52,427 Speaker 4: Yeah, super excited. 1986 01:37:52,507 --> 01:37:54,907 Speaker 29: I think you know, as you said, it's the longest 1987 01:37:54,907 --> 01:37:56,667 Speaker 29: preseason ever, so you just want to get out there 1988 01:37:56,707 --> 01:37:59,147 Speaker 29: and play again. But to be able to burse Melbourn 1989 01:37:59,227 --> 01:38:02,147 Speaker 29: Victory straightaways. You know, you want to play the best 1990 01:38:02,147 --> 01:38:03,867 Speaker 29: teams and I'm sure Melbourn Victory are going to be 1991 01:38:03,867 --> 01:38:06,587 Speaker 29: a strong team this year, so can't wait to go 1992 01:38:06,667 --> 01:38:08,427 Speaker 29: toe to toe with them and see how we end up. 1993 01:38:08,547 --> 01:38:11,667 Speaker 3: What about personally, Dan, are there still areas you feel 1994 01:38:11,707 --> 01:38:15,187 Speaker 3: that our growth theory is in your own game personally? 1995 01:38:15,507 --> 01:38:16,347 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. 1996 01:38:16,587 --> 01:38:19,747 Speaker 29: I think for me personally, I've always had a growth 1997 01:38:19,787 --> 01:38:22,707 Speaker 29: mindset and I feel like I still have lots of 1998 01:38:22,707 --> 01:38:25,627 Speaker 29: things to learn personally for me this year, you know, 1999 01:38:25,667 --> 01:38:27,627 Speaker 29: I want to try and be more of that leader 2000 01:38:27,707 --> 01:38:31,267 Speaker 29: role and help guide my team and just be a 2001 01:38:31,267 --> 01:38:32,027 Speaker 29: good team member. 2002 01:38:32,067 --> 01:38:34,787 Speaker 4: And obviously there's strengthen off the ball. 2003 01:38:34,827 --> 01:38:37,227 Speaker 29: On the ball that I can definitely try and improve 2004 01:38:37,267 --> 01:38:39,027 Speaker 29: on as the season progresses, and. 2005 01:38:39,027 --> 01:38:41,507 Speaker 3: As far as the team is concerned. While you were 2006 01:38:41,707 --> 01:38:45,347 Speaker 3: obviously well versed with the vagaries of the A League, 2007 01:38:45,347 --> 01:38:47,507 Speaker 3: there were a number of players who hadn't played a 2008 01:38:47,587 --> 01:38:49,387 Speaker 3: league before. Do you think as a team there have 2009 01:38:49,467 --> 01:38:52,667 Speaker 3: been some good lessons to take from your first season 2010 01:38:52,707 --> 01:38:53,427 Speaker 3: in the competition? 2011 01:38:53,747 --> 01:38:57,187 Speaker 29: Yeah, definitely, I think especially last year. Obviously a lot 2012 01:38:57,187 --> 01:39:00,027 Speaker 29: of the boys hadn't played in the league before, so 2013 01:39:00,787 --> 01:39:03,307 Speaker 29: coming into a second year, most players, if not all, 2014 01:39:03,427 --> 01:39:06,467 Speaker 29: have had a taste of a league football, and they know, 2015 01:39:06,187 --> 01:39:10,187 Speaker 29: you know, it's not just it's not just the intensity 2016 01:39:10,187 --> 01:39:11,787 Speaker 29: of the matches. You know, you've got to take into 2017 01:39:11,787 --> 01:39:14,707 Speaker 29: consideration things like the weather, the temperature and stuff like that. 2018 01:39:14,787 --> 01:39:18,147 Speaker 29: So I feel like, off with one year under the belt, 2019 01:39:18,587 --> 01:39:20,147 Speaker 29: the second year, it's only going to go up. 2020 01:39:20,587 --> 01:39:22,187 Speaker 3: And how good are you?

To be fair, 2088 01:42:38,587 --> 01:42:42,827 Speaker 17: I think you know it'll be hard heart in mouth 2089 01:42:42,947 --> 01:42:47,067 Speaker 17: sort of you know, sort of moments this year because 2090 01:42:47,147 --> 01:42:50,347 Speaker 17: you know, we're doing some some different things but what 2091 01:42:50,387 --> 01:42:51,867 Speaker 17: we've seen so far has been really good. 2092 01:42:52,187 --> 01:42:54,867 Speaker 3: Tell us about the changes you've made. You've signaled a 2093 01:42:54,947 --> 01:42:58,027 Speaker 3: change of formation, and you've just outlined there a slightly 2094 01:42:58,067 --> 01:43:01,227 Speaker 3: different way of playing. What are the foundations of your 2095 01:43:01,707 --> 01:43:03,347 Speaker 3: of your different approach this season. 2096 01:43:04,307 --> 01:43:06,747 Speaker 17: Yeah, so I'll give you a bit of backstory because 2097 01:43:06,787 --> 01:43:10,027 Speaker 17: I think it's important. I think most importantly, when I 2098 01:43:10,067 --> 01:43:13,547 Speaker 17: took the job initially you know, and I transitioned from 2099 01:43:13,987 --> 01:43:16,747 Speaker 17: you know, I already knew the players. I already knew 2100 01:43:16,787 --> 01:43:20,107 Speaker 17: their limitations, already knew what they could do, and it 2101 01:43:20,147 --> 01:43:22,547 Speaker 17: was more about just building on top of what had 2102 01:43:22,587 --> 01:43:25,627 Speaker 17: been done for four years. So obviously I knew the 2103 01:43:25,667 --> 01:43:28,627 Speaker 17: foundation of the team and all I needed to do 2104 01:43:28,867 --> 01:43:31,227 Speaker 17: was really steer it where I thought I could take 2105 01:43:31,267 --> 01:43:34,067 Speaker 17: the team. It wasn't too much change, So even like 2106 01:43:34,107 --> 01:43:37,347 Speaker 17: implementing the Christmas tree, defending Laura and so on, there 2107 01:43:37,387 --> 01:43:41,427 Speaker 17: weren't things that I felt were too out of norm 2108 01:43:41,907 --> 01:43:45,787 Speaker 17: and I was able to evolve it. But I made 2109 01:43:45,787 --> 01:43:49,147 Speaker 17: the decision after that first season I didn't want to 2110 01:43:49,147 --> 01:43:50,707 Speaker 17: play that way. I wanted to be a little bit 2111 01:43:50,747 --> 01:43:52,067 Speaker 17: more on the front foot. I wanted to be a 2112 01:43:52,067 --> 01:43:53,987 Speaker 17: little bit more fluid in the way we did things, 2113 01:43:54,067 --> 01:43:58,587 Speaker 17: and I try to evolve it last season. But what 2114 01:43:58,787 --> 01:44:01,587 Speaker 17: killed me last season was, for a host of reasons 2115 01:44:01,747 --> 01:44:04,587 Speaker 17: was the availability of players in pre season, so building 2116 01:44:04,667 --> 01:44:08,107 Speaker 17: that foundation of the actual format and you know, trying 2117 01:44:08,107 --> 01:44:10,347 Speaker 17: to evolve it. Maybe I did a little bit too 2118 01:44:10,427 --> 01:44:13,827 Speaker 17: much too quickly, and then on top of that, didn't 2119 01:44:13,827 --> 01:44:17,187 Speaker 17: have enough time. So if you look at the first 2120 01:44:17,187 --> 01:44:19,667 Speaker 17: part of the season, even though we're getting results, there 2121 01:44:19,667 --> 01:44:23,507 Speaker 17: were more results me plugging holes and trying to get 2122 01:44:23,547 --> 01:44:25,387 Speaker 17: us competitive to a game, but we had no real 2123 01:44:25,427 --> 01:44:28,907 Speaker 17: solid courts. So you know, we're a recess at the 2124 01:44:28,987 --> 01:44:31,907 Speaker 17: end of last season. And you know, we obviously had 2125 01:44:31,987 --> 01:44:33,427 Speaker 17: a lot of we had a host of problems that 2126 01:44:33,467 --> 01:44:35,267 Speaker 17: I need to saw through. But one of the things 2127 01:44:35,307 --> 01:44:38,227 Speaker 17: that were really evident was I was like, Okay, I 2128 01:44:38,307 --> 01:44:41,667 Speaker 17: need to actually give the team a solid foundation now 2129 01:44:41,867 --> 01:44:43,827 Speaker 17: on what we're going to grow for the next couple 2130 01:44:43,867 --> 01:44:48,267 Speaker 17: of years. So you know, I made no secrets. You know, 2131 01:44:48,267 --> 01:44:51,067 Speaker 17: I'm going to go to a three four three, and 2132 01:44:51,147 --> 01:44:52,867 Speaker 17: we're going to have certain principles that are going to 2133 01:44:52,907 --> 01:44:54,787 Speaker 17: stick within the team now for the next couple of 2134 01:44:54,867 --> 01:44:57,787 Speaker 17: years that are going to be the foundation. So from that, 2135 01:44:58,747 --> 01:45:02,867 Speaker 17: if I fast forward you know, let's say, you know, 2136 01:45:02,907 --> 01:45:04,387 Speaker 17: a couple of years from down the track and the 2137 01:45:04,427 --> 01:45:08,027 Speaker 17: team's doing well, then I can start manipulating that shape, 2138 01:45:08,067 --> 01:45:11,747 Speaker 17: that foundation ideas and then do a host of things, 2139 01:45:11,827 --> 01:45:13,787 Speaker 17: is which is what I did in that first year 2140 01:45:13,827 --> 01:45:17,227 Speaker 17: when I took over. So that's the thinking. And I 2141 01:45:17,267 --> 01:45:20,227 Speaker 17: think having a reference point for the players that they 2142 01:45:20,347 --> 01:45:24,187 Speaker 17: understand fundamentally who we are, how we play, then all 2143 01:45:24,187 --> 01:45:26,427 Speaker 17: the other stuff is easy to execute. 2144 01:45:26,987 --> 01:45:28,947 Speaker 3: So what are the key principles then of the way 2145 01:45:28,987 --> 01:45:30,347 Speaker 3: you want to play? 2146 01:45:30,907 --> 01:45:33,627 Speaker 17: Yeah, so I think the most important thing is, you know, 2147 01:45:33,747 --> 01:45:37,107 Speaker 17: we're going to press this season. We're going to be 2148 01:45:37,107 --> 01:45:40,267 Speaker 17: a lot, you know, a lot more focused on keeping 2149 01:45:40,307 --> 01:45:46,147 Speaker 17: the opposition in their defensive half. That'll be our primary focus. 2150 01:45:47,187 --> 01:45:49,427 Speaker 17: Still adding on principles of like the way I want 2151 01:45:49,427 --> 01:45:52,147 Speaker 17: to build up in terms of you know, you know, 2152 01:45:52,227 --> 01:45:54,987 Speaker 17: I've got I've got low clear evidence. You know, I 2153 01:45:55,147 --> 01:45:58,147 Speaker 17: like to be good with the ball, quick, quick combinations. 2154 01:45:59,187 --> 01:46:02,547 Speaker 17: But there's a more focus emphasis now on final third 2155 01:46:02,667 --> 01:46:05,947 Speaker 17: entries and so on. And the good thing about this 2156 01:46:05,987 --> 01:46:09,907 Speaker 17: PRECS and restarting really with you know a good chunk 2157 01:46:09,907 --> 01:46:11,987 Speaker 17: of players that have come in now is I've been 2158 01:46:12,027 --> 01:46:14,067 Speaker 17: able to get those players that I feel like fit 2159 01:46:14,107 --> 01:46:17,467 Speaker 17: the system more, whereas I had a crossover maybe over 2160 01:46:17,467 --> 01:46:20,707 Speaker 17: the last couple of seasons of the team that was 2161 01:46:20,747 --> 01:46:24,067 Speaker 17: before and so on. So it's been a slow process, 2162 01:46:24,107 --> 01:46:28,747 Speaker 17: but it's been it's been actually really like it's really 2163 01:46:28,787 --> 01:46:30,707 Speaker 17: raised my energy levels with the players that were brought 2164 01:46:30,747 --> 01:46:34,027 Speaker 17: in that will been very fresh and good for the 2165 01:46:34,027 --> 01:46:34,627 Speaker 17: group as well. 2166 01:46:34,787 --> 01:46:38,067 Speaker 3: So the recruitment strategy was was directly related to I 2167 01:46:38,107 --> 01:46:40,467 Speaker 3: mean the sounds obvious, doesn't it, but directly related to 2168 01:46:40,707 --> 01:46:43,387 Speaker 3: the way you wanted to play the players and they 2169 01:46:43,427 --> 01:46:44,587 Speaker 3: fit the blueprint you're after. 2170 01:46:44,907 --> 01:46:47,467 Speaker 17: Yeah, So like you if you look at a player 2171 01:46:47,507 --> 01:46:52,507 Speaker 17: like color Amiento that I brought in, you know, traditionally 2172 01:46:52,547 --> 01:46:55,667 Speaker 17: not a defensive player, but I've converted him into more 2173 01:46:55,707 --> 01:46:59,587 Speaker 17: of attacking wing back and that suits you style. It's 2174 01:46:59,627 --> 01:47:04,787 Speaker 17: just more about getting his defensive output and to the 2175 01:47:04,867 --> 01:47:08,307 Speaker 17: level that we need. And we brought in Rami Nazarene. 2176 01:47:09,227 --> 01:47:11,547 Speaker 17: You know, he's a great poker player if you watch him, 2177 01:47:11,547 --> 01:47:14,347 Speaker 17: like really excited when he plays. Is a nice player 2178 01:47:14,387 --> 01:47:16,627 Speaker 17: to watch, and I think we missed that last season 2179 01:47:17,747 --> 01:47:22,227 Speaker 17: and the one that I thought, you know, unfortunately he 2180 01:47:22,387 --> 01:47:23,827 Speaker 17: got a bit of Australia, but he'll be back in 2181 01:47:23,827 --> 01:47:25,507 Speaker 17: a couple of weeks. Is Nicola Mille using it? 2182 01:47:25,627 --> 01:47:25,787 Speaker 7: You know? 2183 01:47:25,867 --> 01:47:28,027 Speaker 17: I think if you watched him with Zi in the 2184 01:47:28,027 --> 01:47:29,947 Speaker 17: first part of the pre season, I was so excited 2185 01:47:30,427 --> 01:47:33,987 Speaker 17: because they were just different but the same sort of player. 2186 01:47:34,067 --> 01:47:37,627 Speaker 17: But they worked really well together. So I've been really 2187 01:47:37,627 --> 01:47:38,147 Speaker 17: happy with that. 2188 01:47:39,147 --> 01:47:42,307 Speaker 3: In terms of the recruitment, just a couple of about 2189 01:47:42,307 --> 01:47:44,907 Speaker 3: this weekend, you've got Tim Payne and Lucas Kelly hild 2190 01:47:44,987 --> 01:47:47,587 Speaker 3: returning from All Whites duty. Presumably they just meet you 2191 01:47:47,627 --> 01:47:52,147 Speaker 3: in Perth. They've watched up okay term in particular, will 2192 01:47:52,187 --> 01:47:54,547 Speaker 3: he will he be up for ninety minutes do you think? 2193 01:47:55,107 --> 01:47:57,267 Speaker 17: Yeah, we'll assess today to see how he is. I 2194 01:47:57,307 --> 01:47:59,187 Speaker 17: think he came in last night, so I missed him. 2195 01:47:59,227 --> 01:48:01,507 Speaker 17: I think he went straight to his hotel room. I 2196 01:48:01,547 --> 01:48:04,027 Speaker 17: saw Lucas. He looked fine a little bit yet lagged 2197 01:48:04,427 --> 01:48:10,387 Speaker 17: as expected. But we'll assess today. At training. They train 2198 01:48:10,787 --> 01:48:12,627 Speaker 17: this evening, so it gives a bit of time to 2199 01:48:12,667 --> 01:48:16,187 Speaker 17: recover and they can sleep in more so we acclimatize 2200 01:48:16,187 --> 01:48:18,547 Speaker 17: also here without training towards game time, so we try 2201 01:48:18,547 --> 01:48:21,547 Speaker 17: to keep him in back with their body clocks, so 2202 01:48:21,827 --> 01:48:22,707 Speaker 17: hopefully that helps. 2203 01:48:23,027 --> 01:48:26,707 Speaker 3: So guys like those two Rufer Luke brook Smith who 2204 01:48:26,827 --> 01:48:29,427 Speaker 3: have been in and around the all whites environment Snow Sacred. 2205 01:48:29,427 --> 01:48:32,387 Speaker 3: There's a World Cup next year. Do you talk to 2206 01:48:32,427 --> 01:48:35,787 Speaker 3: them about their all whites aspirations or are they just 2207 01:48:37,027 --> 01:48:38,827 Speaker 3: a byproduct of playing well for you? 2208 01:48:40,547 --> 01:48:42,947 Speaker 17: I think I said this in my last interview, me 2209 01:48:43,147 --> 01:48:45,827 Speaker 17: talking to them, I think does more is more detrimental 2210 01:48:46,427 --> 01:48:51,387 Speaker 17: than it is, you know, a positive. They all those 2211 01:48:51,387 --> 01:48:54,027 Speaker 17: players that are in contention put their own pressure on themselves. 2212 01:48:54,067 --> 01:48:56,947 Speaker 17: They don't need me, you know, to double down. And 2213 01:48:57,107 --> 01:48:59,307 Speaker 17: you know, obviously I've had conversations with the players in 2214 01:48:59,427 --> 01:49:03,227 Speaker 17: terms of what targets are. You know, we do that 2215 01:49:03,267 --> 01:49:04,747 Speaker 17: for all the players. You know, we make sure that 2216 01:49:04,787 --> 01:49:07,147 Speaker 17: you know, we put a roadmap for the season successful play. 2217 01:49:08,227 --> 01:49:09,707 Speaker 17: You know, they all want to go to a World Cup. 2218 01:49:11,067 --> 01:49:14,147 Speaker 17: I keep saying, everyone looks towards painting in Ruff has 2219 01:49:14,147 --> 01:49:16,867 Speaker 17: been obviously the obvious ones because they've been part part 2220 01:49:16,907 --> 01:49:18,347 Speaker 17: of the squad. But I like to think there might 2221 01:49:18,387 --> 01:49:20,067 Speaker 17: be one or two players that no one's thinking about 2222 01:49:20,107 --> 01:49:22,427 Speaker 17: now that will jump you jump out in this season. 2223 01:49:22,427 --> 01:49:24,827 Speaker 17: I've seen it so many times, and I try to 2224 01:49:24,827 --> 01:49:30,267 Speaker 17: give belief to those players that anything is possible. You know, 2225 01:49:32,027 --> 01:49:34,707 Speaker 17: you know the all whites as well. You know, they're 2226 01:49:34,707 --> 01:49:38,187 Speaker 17: probably not getting the right run of results at the moment. 2227 01:49:38,307 --> 01:49:42,027 Speaker 17: So sometimes that puts a little bit of in the 2228 01:49:42,067 --> 01:49:44,347 Speaker 17: coach and the coaching stuff, and they might be looking, 2229 01:49:44,547 --> 01:49:47,507 Speaker 17: you know, for different different options. And I think for me, 2230 01:49:47,587 --> 01:49:49,947 Speaker 17: the most important thing is we play well. We play 2231 01:49:49,947 --> 01:49:53,387 Speaker 17: a good style. Everyone loves watching us play. You know, 2232 01:49:53,427 --> 01:49:55,347 Speaker 17: if we do well, then you know, it'd be like 2233 01:49:55,387 --> 01:49:57,587 Speaker 17: a couple of years ago. You know, Oldie comes out, 2234 01:49:58,067 --> 01:50:00,547 Speaker 17: you know has a breakout. You know Poulsen comes out 2235 01:50:00,547 --> 01:50:03,707 Speaker 17: as a breakout inserment, So anything is possible. 2236 01:50:04,707 --> 01:50:05,787 Speaker 3: Do you feel any pressure. 2237 01:50:07,947 --> 01:50:10,787 Speaker 17: I think I felt more pressure last year in the 2238 01:50:10,827 --> 01:50:14,387 Speaker 17: sense that wasn't the results that worried me. It was 2239 01:50:14,427 --> 01:50:16,787 Speaker 17: more what was going on the pitch in terms of 2240 01:50:16,827 --> 01:50:20,427 Speaker 17: performance that that really irks me. But I actually probably 2241 01:50:20,427 --> 01:50:24,147 Speaker 17: felt even more pressure the year before because I'd win 2242 01:50:24,187 --> 01:50:27,747 Speaker 17: a game, I'm still getting smashed by people, and then 2243 01:50:27,787 --> 01:50:30,747 Speaker 17: I realized I can't do anything right even when I 2244 01:50:30,827 --> 01:50:37,227 Speaker 17: win a game. So look, I think for a large 2245 01:50:37,267 --> 01:50:41,707 Speaker 17: pub the pressure is the own pressure you create for yourself. 2246 01:50:41,827 --> 01:50:45,587 Speaker 17: It's not from anyone else. Like you know, I'm a workaholic. 2247 01:50:45,707 --> 01:50:47,627 Speaker 17: You know, I feel like I'm a perfectionist when it 2248 01:50:47,627 --> 01:50:51,747 Speaker 17: comes to work. So when something doesn't work, it just compounds, 2249 01:50:51,827 --> 01:50:55,907 Speaker 17: and you know, I get very frustrated and I give 2250 01:50:55,987 --> 01:50:58,827 Speaker 17: one hundred percent. And you know, I've been very open 2251 01:50:58,867 --> 01:51:03,667 Speaker 17: about you know, what happened last season as well, that 2252 01:51:03,787 --> 01:51:06,587 Speaker 17: pressure of trying to protect the scene actually probably did 2253 01:51:06,627 --> 01:51:09,867 Speaker 17: more harm to the team than than good. But I 2254 01:51:09,907 --> 01:51:12,827 Speaker 17: was able to come away self reflect and this season, 2255 01:51:13,667 --> 01:51:18,067 Speaker 17: I just get the feeling that with the group, you know, 2256 01:51:18,427 --> 01:51:20,947 Speaker 17: they all have the same focus I do, and I 2257 01:51:20,987 --> 01:51:23,427 Speaker 17: can't ask for anything else. I mean, you know, we 2258 01:51:23,427 --> 01:51:25,667 Speaker 17: could lose the first four games of this season, play 2259 01:51:25,827 --> 01:51:28,747 Speaker 17: unbelievably well you know, what does that mean? You know 2260 01:51:29,027 --> 01:51:31,227 Speaker 17: what happens if we win the first four and we're terrible? 2261 01:51:31,307 --> 01:51:31,947 Speaker 17: What does that mean? 2262 01:51:32,067 --> 01:51:32,307 Speaker 2: You know? 2263 01:51:34,267 --> 01:51:37,187 Speaker 17: But for me, I just again my focus this season 2264 01:51:37,307 --> 01:51:40,507 Speaker 17: is as cheesy as it sounds. We want to entertain, 2265 01:51:40,587 --> 01:51:42,947 Speaker 17: we want to be the best footballing team in the competition. 2266 01:51:43,027 --> 01:51:46,867 Speaker 17: We'll do things that you know that our fans will 2267 01:51:46,907 --> 01:51:50,467 Speaker 17: be very happy with and if we win games, fantastic, 2268 01:51:50,507 --> 01:51:53,107 Speaker 17: you know, But again, you know it's going to be 2269 01:51:53,227 --> 01:51:55,307 Speaker 17: a rollercoaster of a season.

The things that it helps, and there 2397 01:58:24,907 --> 01:58:26,827 Speaker 25: are things that you have to stay a bit more 2398 01:58:26,827 --> 01:58:29,427 Speaker 25: alert for you know, in a back three, so it 2399 01:58:29,467 --> 01:58:31,667 Speaker 25: doesn't do too much, but it changes a little bit. 2400 01:58:32,027 --> 01:58:35,507 Speaker 3: And I presume also it'll be from what I've heard, 2401 01:58:35,507 --> 01:58:37,667 Speaker 3: it'll be quite a high line that you play. So 2402 01:58:38,947 --> 01:58:41,147 Speaker 3: are you being asked to play it from the back 2403 01:58:41,187 --> 01:58:43,267 Speaker 3: as regularly as you did last season, but also be 2404 01:58:43,307 --> 01:58:45,547 Speaker 3: a bit of a sweeper keeper on occasion? 2405 01:58:47,507 --> 01:58:52,067 Speaker 25: Yeah, definitely, Especially in this modern game, it's asked for 2406 01:58:52,107 --> 01:58:54,427 Speaker 25: a lot of keepers to be able to do those things. 2407 01:58:54,947 --> 01:58:55,187 Speaker 23: You know. 2408 01:58:56,427 --> 01:58:59,347 Speaker 25: It's just about recognizing the moments to play out from 2409 01:58:59,347 --> 01:59:02,507 Speaker 25: the back and recognizing the moments to go along, you know. 2410 01:59:02,667 --> 01:59:04,987 Speaker 25: So that's what we plan to do this season, just 2411 01:59:05,027 --> 01:59:08,587 Speaker 25: play the right moment in the game and produce the 2412 01:59:08,667 --> 01:59:09,227 Speaker 25: right result. 2413 01:59:09,667 --> 01:59:12,427 Speaker 3: How important is it to start well to you know, 2414 01:59:12,547 --> 01:59:15,027 Speaker 3: to get a win or two on the board nice 2415 01:59:15,027 --> 01:59:15,907 Speaker 3: and early in the season. 2416 01:59:18,107 --> 01:59:21,787 Speaker 25: A strong start is really important. It builds momentum, builds 2417 01:59:21,827 --> 01:59:25,467 Speaker 25: belief that sets the standards early. Every point matters in 2418 01:59:25,467 --> 01:59:28,107 Speaker 25: the league. So we want to come out, focus and organize, 2419 01:59:28,267 --> 01:59:31,187 Speaker 25: ready to perform from day one. But at the same time, 2420 01:59:31,227 --> 01:59:34,027 Speaker 25: it's a very long season. So if we're doing great, 2421 01:59:34,107 --> 01:59:36,787 Speaker 25: we have to keep it going. If we're not, then 2422 01:59:36,787 --> 01:59:37,867 Speaker 25: we have to build upon that. 2423 01:59:39,027 --> 01:59:40,907 Speaker 3: And I know you're only going one game at a 2424 01:59:40,907 --> 01:59:44,347 Speaker 3: time and tonight's game against Perth Glory is your immediate focus. 2425 01:59:44,427 --> 01:59:48,067 Speaker 3: But how motivated is the team to have some success 2426 01:59:48,067 --> 01:59:50,467 Speaker 3: in the derby's against Aukland FC this season? 2427 01:59:51,947 --> 01:59:52,107 Speaker 2: Oh? 2428 01:59:52,227 --> 01:59:54,987 Speaker 25: Extremely, those games been and locked us and the fans, 2429 01:59:55,467 --> 01:59:59,147 Speaker 25: you know, So we plan to bring back pride and 2430 01:59:59,187 --> 02:00:00,467 Speaker 25: make a statement for willing. 2431 02:00:00,507 --> 02:00:05,507 Speaker 3: And something I noticed about you last season, Josh, after 2432 02:00:05,587 --> 02:00:08,827 Speaker 3: games it didn't make had a win, loss, draw, where 2433 02:00:08,827 --> 02:00:11,627 Speaker 3: the things had gone well, whether things hadn't gone well, 2434 02:00:11,787 --> 02:00:14,787 Speaker 3: you always took the time after the game to meet 2435 02:00:14,827 --> 02:00:18,227 Speaker 3: the fans, to sign some autographs, to get a selfie. 2436 02:00:18,427 --> 02:00:20,187 Speaker 3: It would have been easy for you to not do 2437 02:00:20,307 --> 02:00:22,867 Speaker 3: that after a loss, for example, go down the tunnel 2438 02:00:22,907 --> 02:00:24,867 Speaker 3: and just get out of there. What is it that 2439 02:00:24,987 --> 02:00:27,387 Speaker 3: motivate you to make sure that you still connect with 2440 02:00:27,427 --> 02:00:29,027 Speaker 3: the fans regardless. 2441 02:00:29,907 --> 02:00:33,747 Speaker 25: The fans make the game, to be honest, without the 2442 02:00:33,827 --> 02:00:38,307 Speaker 25: fans we're seen in COVID, you know, it brings the 2443 02:00:38,347 --> 02:00:40,707 Speaker 25: atmosphere out.
