There's a sign up on the wall there yep, 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:27.480 and then broad to you as always by Export Ulture. 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:28.200 There's not only here now. 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.480 Well, so it's behind you, three cans behind you, and 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:33.400 there's a fridge behind you. It's full of it. Yeah, 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.360 you can't see it. I can't see it. This is 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.800 these are the issues. It's just a very visual focused man. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:38.159 I am. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.720 I'm a visual learner, yeah, yep, and I've had the 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.800 visuals taken away from me, so I'll see. I'll tell 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.120 you what helped me learn a lot last night was 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.040 our dea friend, Sophie Acklin, who has run the numbers 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.120 on the commentators win percentages for the Warriors season on 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:53.760 the ACC. 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.600 I saw that that is someone who has either got 0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.480 insomnia or insane. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:05.080 Well, but in her defense against the insanity case charged 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.520 against her by one G Lane, have a go at 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:08.479 the handwriting. 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.760 Yeah, I know, it's incredible a school teacher potentially. 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.520 Perhaps also various different colors. A lot of conjecture in 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.039 the office around whether that was one of those bick 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.360 pens that's got multiple different colors on the one pen. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.360 That reminds me of people who used to turn up 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.000 to club cricket and score for you, and they would 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.200 have a pencil case with the different colors, and each 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.560 batsman had a different color, every bowler had a different color. 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:33.360 Yeah. 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:37.320 It was like it was people that were there who 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.680 needed to do stuff like that to keep them calm. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:39.960 Yeah. 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:41.640 Yeah, I feel like that's the same. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.199 Every now and then. You'll still see guys at Black 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:44.840 Caps games who were scoring well themselves. 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.160 Yeah yeah, and it's there because their brain needs to 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.400 be doing that kind of stuff. 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.920 Yeah. I don't know what possessed so for you to 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:53.480 do this. I don't know whether she I'd love to 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.800 hear from her whether she did this. Was this a 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.280 running telly during the season, because I don't know how 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.640 she could have gone back and checked, but anyway, she's 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:02.960 keep track of who's commentated, what games, and whether we 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.000 won or not. Yeah, there's a full breakdown of the date, 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.920 the round, the game, what commentators are on, and the score, 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.799 and then there's a win percentages column at the bottom 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:14.840 which is the combos of the combos, which is quite 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:20.680 interesting to me. So Die Henwood called thirteen games, six wins, 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.680 one draws, six losses, for a win percentage of forty 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:29.200 six percent. Kezy commentated twelve two wins, ten losses for 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.680 a win percentage of sixteen percent. I commentated twelve three wins, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.760 nine losses, twenty five percent. Hurley commentated six four wins, 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.640 one draw, one loss for a sixty six percent. Yeah. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:46.160 The Pantsman, the Notorious Pantsman Joel Harrison. He commentated two games, 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.840 two wins, no losses, one hundred percent win rate when 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:50.520 the Pantsman's on. 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:50.880 Yeah. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.519 Look, this is a bit like test wickets and averages. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.360 I think you've got to do a minimum. You can't 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:56.920 just come and to one game, win one and have 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.600 one hundred percent record. Because I know Ben Boyce has 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.680 come in with a one hundred percent record. I reckon, 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.960 you've got to call a minimum of like specially with 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:05.440 Warriors four or five games. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.080 Now, is that because you called one game that was 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.920 a loss, so you have a zero percent win record. 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.560 My argument there is I cannot remember that game. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.600 When I saw that posted up, and then I got 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.160 a bit of shit about of course you cursed one game. 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.080 I was like, I fucking commodated a Warriors game. I 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.680 remember commentating the game against Newcastle last year, last year 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.120 when everyone was away, and I can remember that for sure, 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.920 but I just couldn't for the life of me. And 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:33.560 then I was getting all this ship and I was like, 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.200 and then I came in this morning, I was like, 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:35.720 did I knew? 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.040 Like, yeah, it was the Melbourne Storm game, and I 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.760 think it was like round two. It's the second game 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.320 of the year, and it was the one where Xavier 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.800 Coach scored that massive try in the corner full the 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.640 upside down. Yes, And I seemed I seem to remember. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.720 I don't know if I said it or just thought it. 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.280 And I was like, I four season goes to ship. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.160 I could probably point into this like as the because 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.800 our first game we lost. Then there was that game, 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.200 then there was the draw against Melbourne. Manly and I 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.720 was like Jesus. So anyway, long and short of all 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.040 of that is, there is now a petition circulating social 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.640 media to have Pantsman and Ben Boyce commented every single 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.160 game next year, and to remove Kesy from the alternative 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:14.200 commentary collective. Yeah. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.840 I noticed that he posted himself for the love of God, 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.640 get rid of Kezy. It's like about one hundred and 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.400 fifty likes. So like the people have spoken. 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.120 Yeah, it could be the master of his own destiny. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.640 And the Pantsman came in and said, look, it's probably 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.400 going to be horrible for the ratings, but it's going 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.640 to have to be him and Ben boysnigs year. You're 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:32.320 a game. 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:33.240 I'm happy to roll the. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.359 Dice with maybe Pantsman and die. I think die, and 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:37.680 I'll throw it at Ben Hurley in. 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.280 There as well. Weary with the sixty six percent it's 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.479 not straight. Yeah, that's powerful. And one of those was 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.800 a draw, so you know that could easily have been 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.279 bumped up to the seventies. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.040 And also died at thirteen games. Yeah, I mean, here 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.000 was more chances he was going to lose something and 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:52.359 win some. 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.240 Yeah. Well, this is the other thing we keep saying 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.719 about all of these stats about the Warriors when loss 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.800 is like, yeah, they lost a lot this year. You know, 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.479 it's not like the correlation between the two is not 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.400 causation because they just lost. So you can't say that, oh, 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.320 this and that happened during the worm. This happened during 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.720 the lost. I don't know. Did you say that we 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.760 didn't talk about it yesterday. Did you say the UFC 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.760 was at the Sphere over the weekend? Yes? 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.440 I did. It looked insane, it looked incredible. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.919 The Sphere. That has to be our next beer guarden 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:20.160 to it. 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.280 Yes, just just have beers in the sphere. 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.040 Yeah, the sphere garden to it. 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.200 Speaking of which, we're off to Munich tomorrow. I know 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.080 I've given it no thought. I've not packed anything. I'm 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.040 just kind of going to do it. But tonight I. 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.600 Woke up at three in the morning and started thinking 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.000 about it. Did you I'm one of those people who 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.320 will download like five series of a show onto my 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.680 phone and not watch a second of it. You know, 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:49.480 I over prepare. I have a lot of entertainment. It's 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.320 more fear for having to sit there and you know, 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:54.919 just raw dog a whole flot. I just could not 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.520 do it. But then all that happens is you get 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.839 on there, you have a yarn for a bit pound, 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.920 a few beers, you end up watching Lord of the 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.520 Rings or whatever movie's on there, have asleep. You never 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.080 end up using any of the I carried a Nintendo 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.360 Switch around Europe for a week lass last year. 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:09.560 Yeah, I didn't know you had that. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.039 I know because I thought I was going to jump 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:12.760 on the plane and play Mario Kats the whole way 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.160 over there and fucking touch it. I was blacked out 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:15.760 drunk the whole time. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.640 So we've got twelve punters coming with us, which are 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.400 going to meet them all at the airport YEP for 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.479 a bier Garden tour, which involves we are what how 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.279 would you say an order in Amsterdam? 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.719 Yes, three days in Amsterdam. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.200 We were going to go to the Heineken factory and 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.840 hosted by DBEP and Heineken, and. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.280 Then pop over for three power days in Munich. Yeah, 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.120 that is about as long as you'd want to be there. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:40.680 I don't think we're going to see much of Munich. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.080 We just we're in the tenths at October fist that 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.279 whole time, which is gonna absolutely ruins me.

It was your God. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.560 Yeah, I am excited and not as nervous for Amsterdam 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.800 as I thought I would be hit this close to it. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.279 I was in Amsterdam for my twenty third birthday and 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.480 that was pretty hectic. We lost an American gentleman who 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.880 almost didn't make it back to the airport after he 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.400 turned on the rest of the crew. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.159 It tends to happen that was there. 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.520 Yeah, Yeah, his perception of reality got altered and he 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.400 was like, I have not just been sharing our packers 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.840 for months with a bunch of kivders. That's all bullshit. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.560 These guys have been trying to trick me. And he 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.680 went rogue and then left us. But I think it's 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.840 gonna be much more children that this time around. And 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.480 I never got to go into the Heineken factory. 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:29.360 It's good. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.120 So I'm excited for that. Yep, for that tour and 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.040 just being in the being around the canals. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.760 Yeah, go to the Van goth Museum maybe, and Frank's house. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.880 Yeah, read Live District.

When you're flying Longhorse with our first flights 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.000 to do by its sixteen hours Leda Hosen. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.040 I'm wearing Alida Who, and you go on and Prinut 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.600 and hot. I'm going to come and set the standard 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.200 for this tour. Yeah, I'm coming in through customs and 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:08.960 Alida Hosen. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:13.160 Yeah, sixteen hours on a plane yep with a very. 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.640 Thick set leather Leader hosen yep. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.400 And then another couple of hours do buy, and then 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.480 another like seven hours Leader Who's in flight to and 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.640 then land in Amsterdam, Leader Who, It's been three days 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.200 in Amsterdam. Then another flight, then finally the joke pays 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.680 off when you land in boys. 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.760 Always I'm always a fan of a long long play. Yeah. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.400 In reality, I may get changed into a paier of track. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.959 He's on the plane, Yeah, because having when you get 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.319 into your leader hose and it's it can be quite 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.200 tight around the thigh groin area. And I imagine seated 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.200 for sixteen hours, I imagine a timer starts as soon 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.160 as you jump in those things yeah, you got a certain. 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.640 Amount of hours. But no, because the main thing I 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.280 was gonna ask is shoes or not, because I'm I'm 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.400 a big fan of just you can't. You know, people 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.280 say it's gross if the if you've got be a 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:04.880 feed on the plane or you're just in your socks, 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.719 because your feet will smell. No, no, no, if you'll 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.000 feed it in shoes for sixteen hours, that's when your 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.800 feet will smell. No. But the socks, I'm going socks 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.840 and not be a feet. I'm going socks as stocks. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.200 I'm taking the birken stocks over the socks test berks. Well, 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.600 Germany's Germany is the home of the birkenstock. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.320 That's a good idea. I'm going to do that too, 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:22.840 socks and stock and the leader hoo's in. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.920 And then the leader who's it. Yeah, alright, well I 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:26.640 think we've nailed it. 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.480 You know what. The best thing I'll tell you this, 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.200 I can't wait to show you a certain part of 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:36.880 the German or the Bavarian men's where as the leader 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:41.240 hoo's in, and then not woolen socks, but woolen calf 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.600 warmers so they just cover your calf. Oh, they are 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.880 so good, you're going I want some of them. And 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.560 they basically wear short socks and then when your calves, 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.400 when the muscle of the calves starts to go out, 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.600 the fatty part, they cover that in wool. So they're 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.880 like woolen garters that come up and just cover your calves. 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:58.720 I think I look great. 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:00.880 I think I look great, and I'm I'm looking forward 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:01.839 to purchasing a pair of those. 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.160 Yeah, I'm starting to get pretty excited as well. All right, 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.080 we're we've got a very special guest on the show. 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:08.320 You know what, I'm tall. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:09.880 We're going to take quick break and come back with 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:14.720 our very special guest. Right, we'll Laning. On this podcast. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.760 We talk a lot about South Canterbury. I know, I 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.080 crap on a lot about the unbeaten streak that's going 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.040 on down there, and so I felt like it was 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.720 only right that we needed to get someone on that 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.920 was there and in the thick of it. So please 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.400 welcome to the Agenda podcast. For the first time if 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.920 a Nigel Welsh, coach of the South Canterbury rugby team 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.120 in the Heartland, Good morning, Nudgel. How's everything going? Man? 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.480 Good morning? Very well? Thank you. 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.200 Can I ask is it thirty five games on the trot? 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.600 I think it is. Yeah, I think it is. To 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.439 be honest, Look, and it's an old cliche. It's something 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.360 that we don't really concentrate on. We're week by week 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.000 team and we keep doing our job and keep putting 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.400 our men to the task and the rest of will 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.400 to take care of itself. Really, but yeah, thirty five 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.360 or something like that. It's three and a bit of 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:04.920 years now. 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.240 Yeah, it's almost getting ridiculous. So you said that you 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.400 don't really think about it, and obviously you never prepare 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.560 to lose a game, so you're obviously not thinking about 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.360 losing each of these weeks. But there must be an 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.680 element of speed wobbles at some point, isn't there? After 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:18.800 thirty five on the trot? 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.640 Is the hell of a speed wobble? Last Saturday when 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.440 we're down twenty eight five against Norman that Oh. 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:25.720 Yeah, you tell you, you're telling me. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.960 Nigel and I had some money on that and absolutely 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.920 shit in his pants. 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:31.840 So yeah, there was a little bit of a speed 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.400 wobble there for twenty odd minutes. I'm think at all 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.160 this could be the day, but the boys dug deep 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.360 and took a few instructions and went into their work 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.160 and called the way back, which was an absolute outstanding 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.480 comeback and just showed the resilience and the character of 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:49.559 the boys to be able to do that. 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.360 Nigel, how like South Canterburdge, it's a big it's quite 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:57.679 a large geographical, big region. How difficult is to get 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:01.120 together the team weekend, week out during the Heartland competition. 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.240 I mean we've got to obviously we taste of at 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:05.719 the start of the year when you couldn't quite get 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.120 up to the Hawks Bay. How hard is it to 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.560 so we can week out get these guys together? 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.920 Oh, look at it. It is trucky. You know, you've 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.040 got you've got freezing workers, you've got plumbers, you've got farmers, 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.840 you've got you know, you know what. And you know, 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.960 some of the guys get called out at night and 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.400 so they can't make training and some of them may 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.680 be on night shift at the freezing works and things 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.120 like that. But I will say a lot of our 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.280 a lot of our businesses around here are very supportive 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.480 of the South Denaby rugby team and allow the boys 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.280 to shoot away for a couple of hours train and 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.600 then come back and get back into the work after 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.640 training and things like that. So that's really really much, 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.679 you know, really appreciated for the support that we get 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.920 from all the businesses around the around the community in 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.600 the South Keneby region, but some of them treble far 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.000 and wide. You know, we get a vanload coming down 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.040 from the McKenzie country to flee for the Colts, the 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.320 South Denry Colts, the South Keneby Ah Squad and the 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.520 South and the Heartland Squad. So you know they all 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.320 working together, and the clubs and that around the place 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.120 will supported as well and supplies vehicles and things like that. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:08.800 Getting down to coning, is. 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.640 There a bit of work to be done from a 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.439 coaching perspective when you're bringing together guys from the likes 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.880 of wymat E versus Samoka. You know a bit of 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.839 bad blood there in the local comp but then they 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.880 have to come together to represent Seth. Can I rey, 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.400 do you have to message a few egos or keep 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:23.880 on top of a few of the boys? 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.199 Oh I look not really like I make it very 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.400 clear right at the starts. You know it's you have 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.360 your own club stuff back at home and all that 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.680 sort of stuff. But you know, our first meeting and 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.920 our first first training or when do we get together. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.840 I'll make it very very clear that when they walk 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.920 on the store, it's a green and black door, and 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.080 it's no clubs affiliated, and we're walking into a new 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.120 family here, and it's a tight knit family, and it's 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.720 a family we're very very proud of and the history 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.040 that we're making and things like that. So I said, 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:52.839 all club stuff goes out the back door, and you're 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.000 part of a green and black family and we all 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.480 work together here and they will buy into it. They've 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:58.720 all taken on board. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.880 And yeah, what is it about this team? What makes 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.160 them so good? And how they managed to be so 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.040 consistent for such a long period of time. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:15.520 Coach, Look, he's there the good and the bad, and 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.880 he's been been a lot of bad and there's been 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.280 a hell of a lot of good doing me wrong. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.240 But to be fair, I guess it's the consistency of 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.360 the players that we've had together for the last four 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.840 or five years. We're you know, this year here, we've 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.760 introduced our first loan player last week. Otherwise we were 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.560 one hundred per local and it just shows the depth 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.800 of rugging throughout the South Kenemy region and what the 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:42.080 clubs are doing locally. But I guess having the same 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.880 players rolling in and out for the last four or 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.320 five years and all knowing. You know, we spend a 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.320 lot of time going through our detail and what we 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:50.800 want to do and how we want to achieve it 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.400 and things like that, and we get them to buy 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.480 into it. We also get in to deliver a lot 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.600 of it as well. But also with the our Pacific 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:02.480 Island community, we make sure that we really embrace their 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.240 culture and their values and things like that as well. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.040 So you know, I tease you to go out and 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:08.440 play a game of footy and play it the way 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.320 the old parling your boy wants to play, But we've 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.440 also going to make sure we understand how the specific 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.600 island boys play and want to play and what makes 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.560 them tick as well. And you know, it's it's not 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.720 everybody knows. We get down into a prayer every night 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.880 before training and after training, before game, after game, and 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.120 you know that's just us embracing their culture and their 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.600 beliefs and making sure they feel part of the family. 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.520 Speaking of part of the family, how much of an 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:37.160 influences Hecker Elliott being to the to the kind of 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:38.200 South Canterbury family. 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.080 Yea, beckis a good man, you know, to have an 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:43.840 ex all Black and Mary all Black and that coming 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.280 into the region and then deciding to put them in 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.680 boots and play for the Rams McKinsey Rams up there, 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.080 and you know, he changed their club scene around a 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.000 hell of a lot this year, you know, and they 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.160 started getting a lot of wins on the trough and 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.480 the self belief and stuff like that. So he's brings 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.840 a lot of mark to the team. He brings a 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:06.280 lot of experience to the team, and he obviously gets 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.400 a lot of respect from the boys too. And when 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.520 he sees something, they all sort of listen and learn 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.440 from Hacker, and he's very, very forthcoming with some of 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.320 the knowledge that he's passing on to the boys, which 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.040 is huge as well. So we're very lucky to have 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.760 somebody like that come into our ranks and just give 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.160 it that extra boost as well. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.400 The Shield challenge, I want to talk about that. From 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.080 the start of the year. What happened there was it 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.720 just too expensive to get up to Hawks bade a 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:31.640 challenge for it this year. 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.400 Look, there's a lot of things going on with our 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.720 new ground and everything like that down here at the moment. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.520 You know, we're building a brand new stadium and new 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:41.520 grass and all that sort of stuff, and it's taken 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.920 a few bit of money to do that, and the 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.440 local community and fundraiser and things like that have done 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.280 a fantastic job and doing so. But then I think 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.840 it was just a little bit a push too far 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.800 is a business sense to send the team up there. 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.360 The air flights had double, the accommodation had increased, and 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.440 things like that. So we had to make a business decision. 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.200 And you know, when we spoke with the CEO and 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.359 the board and stuff like that, it was it was like, 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.760 if you're running the business, would you do it? Probably not, 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:11.920 And so we had to put on the big boys 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.679 unders and make those hard calls with the with the 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.320
