1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: It is fourteen after four news talks. He'd be so

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Peter Berling is faring well, bidding farewell to the team

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: he's had on the America's Cup, and we're going to

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: have Grunt Dalton on the show to discuss the reasons why.

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: After five Jason Pine hosted Weekend Sports with Us here Now,

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Hi Jason, good to have you on the show. So

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: he's leaving.

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it came out of the blue, didn't it. I

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: don't think when we've back up this morning, we expected

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: this to be the story leading our sports news today.

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: But look, he's held the old mug up three times.

12
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: Incredible legacy that he has. And you must remember America's

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: Cup is only one of the projects that Peter Berling

14
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: has going on. He's clearly really loving life in the

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: Black Foils and sal Gp. There's a bit of work

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 2: to do there, and maybe he just thinks, well, I've

17
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: been there and done that with the America's Cup. Three up,

18
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: three down, let's put our focus somewhere else. He's also,

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: of course a family man. There's only so many ways

20
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: you can be pulled. I'll be interested to hear from

21
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: Grant Dalton as to the reasons but as from what

22
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: I can understand, I mean, I've got to get this

23
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: America's Cup defence up and running. You know, time is

24
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: not necessarily plentiful for them. So if it wasn't going

25
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: to be Peter Berling, then they have to move on

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: and find out who it is going to be to

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: helm the next America's Cup defeat.

28
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: How much do you reckon, Jason, that sale GPS affecting

29
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: the retention of your sailors for the America's Cup teams?

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of sailors do both. So you know,

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: the America's Cup, let's not forget it is only only

32
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: comes around every few years, where a sale GP is

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 2: every year, but it does clog the calendar, and there

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: are you know, there are only so many days I

35
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: think that an elite level sailor can commit to doing it. Look,

36
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: I don't know whether Peter Berlin will be the first

37
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: domino to fall, whether you know he has won and

38
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: others will follow suit, but yeah, look, there's only so

39
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: many days in a year. And as I say, he's

40
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: got other commitments as well with sale GP and other

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: projects too, so something had to give. And yeah, like

42
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: I say, he's been there and done it with America's

43
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: cups and maybe he decided this was the one that

44
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: was easiest to let go.

45
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: Hey, Moana Pacifica, are they about to become Auckland's favorite

46
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: rugby team?

47
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: Do you reckon about? I don't know. They might already

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: be after last week. I think tomorrow is going to

49
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 2: be a great occasion at Eden Park. Is the early

50
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: game ahead of the OPAKI final at eden Park tomorrow

51
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: night as well. But I think Mawana Pacifica are really

52
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: hot charts of beating the Blues. Funnily enough, if you

53
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: hover above it and you look down, you say, well, actually,

54
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 2: the Blues are probably favorites, even though Moana have found

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: a bit of a hot streak. But I wouldn't beyond

56
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: the realm of the possibility. What I hope's a great

57
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: occasion then, Tomora Ryan, you know there should be all

58
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: sorts of fans for both sides. What's the color? Lots

59
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: of energy for a double head of Eden Park. But yeah,

60
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it wouldn't be the worst investment in the

61
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: world to check a sneaky ten on Mowana tomorrow.

62
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,240
