1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Jason Pine waking the sport hosters with us. Hey, Jason,

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Good, I mate, Hey, we've just spoken. We just

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: had a great chat at you about Liam Lawson with

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Barry Tomlinson and just I suppose a great day. Everyone

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: was kind of suspecting it would happen. But now that

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: it's happened, what's the reaction been, Like?

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think fantastic. I think overwhelmingly positive. You know,

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: a Kiwi with a full time drive in Formula One,

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: Like you say, Ryan, I think we all hope that

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: it would happen. It felt more and more as though

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 2: it would happen, and now it's been confirmed. I think

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: the news came through ten o'clock last night New Zealand

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: time and social media lit up and it's been the

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: talk of the town today, that's for sure and will

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: continue to be for Liam. I mean, what a thrill

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: for a kid who, by his own admission, has been

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: dreaming about this day since he was six seven years old,

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: and finally it's going to come to fruition. I guess

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: the hard work is ahead. Now he goes into a

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: team alongside Max for Stappan, who is the biggest name

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: in the sport for him, Liam, I mean, I guess

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: the big ingredient he can add is helping them win

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: the Manufacturer's Championship again for red Ball to get back

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: on the top of that particular podium. I get the

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: feeling a lot of resource will be handed the way

26
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: of Max for Staffin, but for Liam Lawson, what an

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: exciting time, What a really really exciting time for a

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: talented young KEI.

29
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: We yeah, and great to be watching such a talented

30
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: person in Max. For Staffan as well. Auckland C back

31
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: at home tomorrow. Do you think they can keep this up?

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: I think they will. Yeah, I think they will. You

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: see their trucking in a whole bunch of sand. They're

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: making a beach at one end of Mount Smart. This

35
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: is another innovation by Oakland FC. You get the feeling

36
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: the weather might not quite play ball as far as

37
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: a beach party is concerned. But on the field, on

38
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: the grass, Look, they're back home. They haven't lost there,

39
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: They've won all of their games there. They've got a

40
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: couple of injuries, although they might get a couple of

41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: players back. From what I'm understanding over the last couple

42
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: of days, I don't see any reason why Western United,

43
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: who are sort of a middling team really in the

44
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: A League, should cause them any problems. I reckon they'll

45
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: continue along they're winning way and give their fans a

46
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: very merry Christmas.

47
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, well, let's hope it's not a sandstorm. Jason,

48
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: Thanks can, I hope are waiting to happen. That's where
