Ben Hurley said that 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:26.280 you've got to hide a head. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.080 Ah far from it and mean it's hard to get 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.560 a hiding when you're involved in a scuffly pussy ride 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.560 down in central Dunedin. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:33.520 But a we're going to move on. 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.400 From that that weekend because we've got this weekend coming 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.720 up All Blacks and England to repeat at Eden Park 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.280 and we're backed at the Postman's Leg for the ultra 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.280 pre game. No Richie Muwanga this week, but we might 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.760 try and rustle up some more surprises for there. But 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.440 we've got live music everything else. But what everyone's talking 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.280 about at the moment Joe Jury is lu Lusan in 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.240 the quarter finals of Wimbledon, the first New Zealander to 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.520 ever make the quarter finals in Wimbledon. I think she's 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.720 playing tonight in the quarter final against Croatian Donna Vitchik. 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.200 Know much about Donna vic All. 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.720 I know is never marry a croatan. There's a golden rule. 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.400 They never marry a croatan. But chance for her to 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.440 make the semi finals tonight, it's awesome. 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:16.200 But I've got some. 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:21.440 Interesting facts around around Wimbledon that you might be interested in, 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.679 Joe Jury, how are you? This is one hundred and 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:29.520 forty seventh edition of Wimbledon, And unlike any other kind 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:35.160 of sporting or tennis, especially Wimbledon, release their financials every 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.320 year to the public because the people who run it 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.840 as the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club English. 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.639 Yeah so, and they produce a thirty page and your 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.120 report detailing their finances and including the two week event 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.000 that is is Wimbledon. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.160 And they really revealed it. 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.079 In twenty twenty three, the club brought in four hundred 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.600 and forty million US in revenue for this two week period, 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.040 a profit of fifty eight point seven million. They don't 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:05.920 they break down the numbers. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:06.320 A little bit more. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.079 For the global broadcast rights they get, it's fifty six 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.160 percent of what they make and there is two hundred 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.280 and forty six million, but they keep the ticket sales. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.800 They relatively low, so they reckon. They leave one hundred 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.320 million US on the table to make it affordable for 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:27.320 people to head along to Wimbledon, which is unlike anything else. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.040 So on day one and day two you can get 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.480 a ticket for pretty much fifty quid. 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:34.680 It's good. Ay. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.440 You can't even go to the All Blacks for fifty quid. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:36.840 That's right. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.240 When it gets to the point here day like thirteen 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.560 and fourteen on Center Court three hundred and twenty four dollars, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.920 so not bad if you're going to go to the final, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.360 that's all you have to pay. So they make all 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.920 their money from obviously from the TV rights which they 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.160 run the ships and span no, but they keep it 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.360 down to two or three sponsors as well, so it's 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.520 a very different model from everyone else who just try 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.920 and make pillage the whole time. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.680 I'll tell you what New Zealand media has been blowing 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.360 their load on the sun. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.240 The sun is rising. Oh when she loses, If she loses, 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.280 I hope she doesn't. Will have been sun sets on 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.320 her Wimbledon journey. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.200 There's been. The sun is shining about still shines. Who 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.080 comes the sun? Who's going to be the first? 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.239 But Son of a bitch. 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.760 I think that'll be us, son. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:26.040 Of a bitch, Lulu Sun loses. I don't think any 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:26.880 mainstream will do that. 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.560 No, be honest, it'll be leaning on us. 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:28.960 I think he. 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.960 Guess how many baseball caps and Panama hats they sell 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.599 at Wimbledon over the two weeks? 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:36.480 Ever, guess. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.320 Fifty two thousand, Jesus close, fifty eight thousand, two hundred 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:47.320 baseball caps and Panama hats are sold. Guess how many 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:52.400 towels are sold? Twelve twenty seven and a half thousand 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.000 championship towels are sold at the merchandise shop? 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:57.560 Like, what are you? 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:58.000 Hows? 0:04:58.040 --> 0:04:59.479 What are you doing with those? Are you taking them home? 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.280 Take them to your lacual tennis club? That's what you're doing. 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.240 It's like people who wear It's like the mammals who 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.400 cycle on the weekends with their mates, and they're all 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.920 dressed up like the owner's Vinger guard and like the 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.520 full sponsored Peloton gear. 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.240 So there are one hundred and forty kigs squeezing into them. 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.040 And how many sweat bands you reckon? 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:24.760 They sell sweet bands? Like I'm unsaying about forty four thousand. 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.919 Fourteen thousand sweat bands and they sell a further three 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.080 and a half thousand dollars worth of personalized embroideries on 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:38.360 baseball caps and towels, which equates to two point nine 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.200 million individual stitches. 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.200 So you're not it's not enough just to get a 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.200 wounding towel. You gotta have it embroidered with your own name. 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.800 Yeah, and you know, why can't you do that post 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.960 pictures take it back to your own embroider and do that. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.960 But anyway, there you go. There's some, there's some, and 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.000 the conversation starts here are good. So the grass courts 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.600 is thirty eight grass courts, twenty practice courts and eighteen 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:05.240 championship courts. They've got a trained Harris hawk named Rufus 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.440 that flies around every morning at the grounds of women 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.800 and before gates open to get the pigeons away from 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:11.600 the grass courts. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.440 We can't really talk about hawks. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.320 We're under a hawkband. 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.080 Hawk band the hawk, by the way. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.160 I think it's me and I destroyed it when he 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.919 came back on Monday, as we were legally told to. 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:23.919 By dock here. We didn't have a permit for that. 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:24.920 That hook. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.640 Twenty eight people on the ground crew cut and reline 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.520 and sweep the courts every morning. 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.760 At Wimbledon they. 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:38.480 Cut it to exactly eight millimeters every morning in those courts. 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.600 What's setting is that on your lawnmar Is that the 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:41.279 third one down? 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.960 I think that's pretty much very very bottom, isn't it. 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.200 It's a very very bottom. Wimbledon requires the staff of 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:53.880 six thousand, three hundred. However, ball kids are unpaid by 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.560 the All England and it's club bastards, but they get 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.920 their uniforms and expenses covered there. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.720 You go home. 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.320 Rentals for two weeks near Wimbledon costs between four thousand, 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.800 six hundred dollars for a one bedroom flat. Well for 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:12.160 corporate it's thirty six thousand dollars for a house to 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.040 be housed in over that two weeks. 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:19.640 You're a man of international sporting audience. Have you ever 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:20.320 been to Wimbledon? 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.920 I tried to when we went to the infamous twenty 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.600 nineteen Cricket World Cup. That's how I always remember the date, 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.600 because Wimbledon was on at the same time, and I 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.680 think the day before we caught a bus out to 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.000 Wimbledon and lined up in a queue for four hours, 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.200 got to the front and then they said no more 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.120 tickets today because you can just roll up and just 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:42.440 go in. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.840 So I tried, but we went. No such luck on 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:47.440 so and then. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.360 He just went and grim lanes us at the World 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:50.880 Cup final. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.760 That's why I should That's why Look, Lulusan, you are 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.120 safe as houses tonight. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:56.360 I am not going to Wimbledon. 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.720 Here's some other last facts for you on Wimbledon. Just 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.920 to get juice is flowing through running joke that the 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:06.160 easiest way to get a membership to the Wimbledon's Athletic 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.920 Tennis Athletic Club and Croquet Club is to win Wimbledon. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.040 It's because it has a total cap of five hundred 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:16.880 total membership spots, so the waiting list is about forty years. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:18.920 So you have the way to be able to die. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.160 With the exception of honorary members, tournament winters, et cetera, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.680 you must be a British citizen to join the All 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.880 England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.680 The year go well, there were there were scintillating facts 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.320 about well, look, if you're going to people are going 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:35.760 to be asking you about lu Lusan. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.400 They're going to be and you go, do you know what? 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.480 At Wimbledon they cut the grass every morning to eight 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:41.280 millimeters and. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.640 They sell fourteen thousand wristbands. 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:48.240 And they sell fifty four thousand Panama hats over that time. 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.839 You know that I'm here to help. What is that? 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.760 In comparison to Augusta and Masters. 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:55.880 I'm not sure I've been Masters. 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.679 They compare it to the US Open in terms of 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.559 the Tennis Open. I mean, the US Open makes a 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.040 lot more money and it's broadcast rights ESPN pays a 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:07.880 lot more than it does it at Wimbledon. They also 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.760 make a lot more money off their ticket prices because 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.600 they're almost double at the US Open. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:17.160 So but yeah, they kind of got the same vibe as. 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.800 The Masters, don't they Because Masters try and keep the 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.920 ticket prices low. They also try and keep the food 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:21.600 prices low. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.959 Well they haven't changed since yeah, the sixties I think. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.360 But it's just impossible to get tickets. 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.400 Yes, this is the problem. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.240 Can you hit the piss at Wimbledon that you can 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.040 at Lords? Do they give your body to a champagne? 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:34.720 Now you can't, Well you can't go in with your 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.719 own piss like Lords. But like anything in England, you're 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.920 allowed to hit it as hard as you like. You 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.079 just have to just behave semi normal. There are a 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.080 bit stuff here in Wimbledon, and they are at Lord's 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.400 so there's a kind of a you can't not get 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:48.040 too rowdy. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:49.600 You can apparently on the outer. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.400 Courts, but once you're on the the main courts, you know, 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:53.840 Roger Feuder is hanging out there. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:55.080 Tom Cruise is hanging out there. 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:59.839 I saw Brad pitt Wazi as well, so a little 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.760 bit more reserved, but you can still head it hard. 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:02.199 Outside. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.360 They've got a whole big area Henman's Hill. I think 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:05.960 they changed it to Murray's Hell or something. 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.800 I don't know. And yeah, there. 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:14.200 Was great footage of in the Djokovic game when the 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.800 crowd found out that England had won the yes quarter 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.640 finals and penalties and they just started cheering. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:19.800 He was just about to serve. 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.840 Djokovic is just about to serve, and then the crowd 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.480 just wrapped it into applause and I think he I 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.640 think someone must have said something because he knew because 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.640 he got the tennis ball and volleyed it over the. 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:35.240 Net penalty kick. I mean, we can get into football later, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.440 but I don't think it's coming home the Netherlands again. 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:39.400 The waste of the English. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.080 Yeah, well that game's coming up. What this weekend I think, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:43.600 or is it the next few days? 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:44.679 Thursday, I believe. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.760 Thursday England versus Netherlands will cover there off tomorrow I think, 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.240 but you never know. If they fart through on they'll 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.800 fart through on penalties, so they'll make the final. England 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.679 fans will go crazy. I love it when England gets 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.079 near a final because I love watching the heartache of 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:00.000 them coming so close. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:01.679 It's so far. 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.000 We're going to take a quick break and we're going 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:08.400 to be back to discuss some rugby league NRL and 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:12.640 again the bunker shafting the Warriors on the weekend and 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.760 Graham Ainsley, the head of NRL's referees, he's come out. 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.400 It looks like it's a video of a bizarre video 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:24.040 of him in a boardroom explaining the mistakes, which I 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.000 find quite refreshing and also quite disturbing. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:28.080 So back in a moment. 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.240 Now on the weekend, Warriors obviously lost in Golden point 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.760 time to the Doggies. I don't want to go into 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.360 details around while we switched to the All Blacks. I've 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.120 got a lot of hate mail coming in around why 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.120 we switched over. But that was the decision made by 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:46.080 myself and I will die by that. But there was 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:50.080 an incident just before half time to Mardi Martin. It 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:51.880 was in the second half and the second half to 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:57.920 Marti Martin got hit late by a Bulldogs player and 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.840 it went up to the bunker and they fucked around 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.920 in the bunker for ages, trying to determine whether it 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.920 would contact with the neck or the head. 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.040 Yes, all right, I was watching. Joel showed me the 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:15.200 footage of the die. Heindwood and Joel Harrison call because 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.079 has been here. He had to leave before the end. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.800 Got to a gig. There was a lot of ditching 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.800 on the Warriors that night. Yeah, and you can just 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.240 when it happens, Joel and die just like, oh it's 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.360 a late hat, it's ten. It's gotta be ten in 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.480 the band at least a penalty. And then they watched 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.800 the replay. Salmon, I think the guy's name is Jerome 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.520 Salmon broke his jaw by running into Timney Mauntain's face. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.439 So a little little bit of bitter kind of justice there. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.480 They were just as he has a penalty and there 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.800 was just no illegal contact and Jame and Salmon. 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.760 I don't know what happened there. Looks like might have 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.440 had a head knock with Tomighty Martin and back play 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:53.640 there because he's bleeding out. 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.000 Yeah, it looks like he's lost a tooth or something. 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:03.920 That so Timmarty Martin go, oh, that's a massive shoulder jarge. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:04.920 That could be a hit. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.960 That should be ten in the bin the way that 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.560 they've been officiating it this year, that could be a penalty. 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:10.800 To the Warriors. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.800 Jam and Sam had some it's some late shoulder judge 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.079 a legal contact they're calling it? 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.840 Or no, oh did he say no illegal contact? 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.199 There is a legal contact. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.680 Jam and Salmon flew out of the line. 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.440 There is no difference from what Suli did in game 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.280 Wine of Origin compared to that. It's got to be 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:39.199 investigation here. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.520 What it needs to be an investigation? 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:43.920 Yeah, no illegal contact. 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.000 So they and here's Graham Ainsley, the head of the 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.679 referees or whatever for the NRL. Here's him explaining in 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.040 a very roundabout way that they fuck it up. 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.080 The Bunker did spend all of their time in this 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:02.040 review trying to do determine whether this was high contact 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:07.160 or not. What they didn't do in this case was 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:11.760 give jur regard to the tackle being late or the 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.559 contact being late, and whether the defender could have pulled 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.760 out of this tackle or not, or at least reduced 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.840 the velocity of it when it takes place. And what 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.320 the Match Review Committee did, of course, as everyone now knows, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.400 is the Match Review Committee did give due regard to 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.240 the late nature of the contact and the fact that 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.320 the ball had been passed. Again, they found no evidence 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.120 of contact with the head or next, so he wasn't 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.440 charged because of contact with the head or neck. He 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:44.840 was charged with dangerous contact because of the late nature 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:52.160 of the tackle. So the real question here is should 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.280 this have been penalized on girl And the answer to 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:59.080 that is clearly yes it should have been, not because 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.760 it was high, but because it was late. And I 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:07.040 know this was a critical time of the game. Kick 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.600 he wanted to give you the incident, but they didn't 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.720 give due regard to the issue of late. Now, I mean, 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.400 so we think this is a miss, yes by the 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:21.200 match officials, and what are the consequences are unacceptable consequences. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.280 That's what took plate. There is no consequences. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:30.160 But I love how Graham Ainsley as Annalsley any really 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.480 sucked the life out of there. And the presentation is 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.400 in front of a screen, and he's got a little 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.640 button he can go backwards and forwards on is an 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.880 NRL logo behind him, a Neon logo. I don't think 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:41.760 anyone else is in the room. I think it's for 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.200 you know, for them to release themselves. This is an explainer, so. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:46.800 We fucked up? 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.280 Does he do this every weekend? Does he explain fuck 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:50.080 ups every weekend? 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.000 Just when the Warriors get screwed over? He knows that 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:54.000 happens every weekend. 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.040 I've got an idea here. I think they wish everyone 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.280 should be able to do that. After a weekend, someone 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:03.120 gets up and go Stuart. On the weekend, he drank 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.360 twenty three beers. Looking back on that now, it was 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.240 probably about thirteen too many. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:10.240 This was a mistake. 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.320 This was a mistake, and they recognized it as a mistake. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.400 And the penalty for that is he got a severe hangover. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.880 And for that very reason, it was the wrong decision 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.640 for Maniah to drink twenty three beers and shit himself. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.520 Look, it was at a critical time of the night. 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:31.240 We were about to do a workplace shout yep, and 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.440 he couldn't turn up because he had shot himself yep. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.000 And the bunker they spent too much time reviewing the 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.400 beers and not the fact he didn't turn up to 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.240 do his job. Okay, so we've had a look at 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.200 the review committee's had to look at that and said, yep, 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.840 he should have done his job and not drunk those 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:46.680 twenty three beers. 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.480 But it is what it is, and that's what happened. 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.200 But what the one thing I can't understand is how 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.440 they're constantly now saying it's not high. It wasn't high. 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.640 Both of them walked away from that attempt to tackle 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.360 holding face, so. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:03.600 There was contact with face to face. 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.720 So how does someone break a jaw and the other 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.760 guy gets almost a broken nose. But there's no, there's no, 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:09.440 it's not high. 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.480 I don't know. It's it's so a r L. It's 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:13.560 it's the most bizarre. 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.199 It's it's one of the great sports and people love it, 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.879 but and it's growing in popularity for its simplicity. Yet 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.200 there's so many complications around those kind of calls and 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.679 the bunker rules and and what the bunker does and 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.960 doesn't do, and the like invariably, for some whatever reason, 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.520 we always get the the bad side of it anyway. 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:39.720 But I'm looking forward to Graham and Ainsley breaking down 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.760 our Dunedin weekend in a monologue fashion like that and 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:47.440 just explaining what didn't get pulled up and what did here. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:51.639 We have a pussy right here coming out a door, 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.720 no contact with the head, just a lot of just 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:56.960 a lot of grabbing. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.399 A lot of argie bardgie, No one throwing a punch, 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.800 No punches was thrown, a lot of scragging. So the 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.800 bunker missed the fact there was no punches thrown, and 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.760 for that we're sorry and we apologize. 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.520 The bunker also missed Mania Stuart with an eight year 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:18.159 old homeless man in the background, that he will be reprimanded. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.560 Him dancing with that old man, an old homeless man 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:24.560 who looked like a dead Kenny Rogers, like Kenny Rodgers 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.480 had been put in the ground for about two years 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.200 and then pulled out of the ground and pulled into 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:33.239 the pub. And Mania Stuart's slow dancing with him at 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.359 the front of the dance floor, pleadly oblivious to the 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.760 pussy right happening all around him, was that that should 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:40.080 have been pulled up by Graham Ainsley. 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.200 I mean the best thing is that I was filming 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.639 a lot of that night and so Mania thought he 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.040 had just you could forget it. I just was constantly 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.119 playing in videos of that in our bedroom. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.800 As I put it, put it away, put it away, 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:54.600 stood it away. You should have given you should have 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.280 given the full NRL de brief. So yeah, I'm interested 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.760 to know whether that happens every week, that that's a 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.120
