Elliott Smith 19 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 4: News talks sports news directors with us this evening, Hey, 20 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 4: Elliott evening, Hayden, good to see yeah, and Levina Good 21 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 4: is here a sports journalist. Good evening to you. 22 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, good evening from tarding A. Nice to chat. 23 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 4: Nice to have you on. Nice to meet you. 24 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: Levina. 25 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 4: We'll start with you, actually, Levina, because we've just been 26 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 4: to Melbourne. It sounds like an awesome place to be 27 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 4: this weekend, the big race of courses on Sunday, and 28 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 4: we asked Jason Pine, who's with us here at news Talk, 29 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 4: said be earlier, what does success look like for Liam Lawson? 30 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 4: He basically just don't crash? Is that summon up? 31 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? 32 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: I agree. 33 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: I mean it's been seven years since New Zealand had 34 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 3: a full time Formula One driver and I think you 35 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 3: really don't have to love this sport to appreciate what 36 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: Liam Lawson has achieved. And he's got a twenty four 37 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: week season to prove himself a little shaky in that 38 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 3: first practice run, but the thing is the car is 39 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 3: still there. There's loads of pressure on him, but he 40 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 3: obviously thrives under pressure. And the big thing for me, 41 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 3: and also when you conducted that interview, I think the 42 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: Australian fans will back him, even though he replaced their 43 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 3: favorite Daniel Ricardo in six races last year. But the 44 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 3: Australians love a butler and Liam Lawson is a butler. 45 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: And I tell you what New Zealand will be gripped 46 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: watching the race this weekend. 47 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: How many quies you think have gone over for the 48 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: weekend because as soon as he got him out. Yeah, 49 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: but so many I reckon people would have circled that 50 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: one and gone that's the easiest form one. It's the 51 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: debut race from and Red Bull, and they want to 52 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: go and cheer him on and as we heard say 53 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 2: there before, you know, plenty of cheers for the Kiwi. Look, 54 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: he's not going to make or break his contract in 55 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: this opening weekend. But what he can do is just 56 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: win some of those supporters over because there were question 57 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: marks not here in New Zealand around whether he should 58 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 2: have got the seat. We're all for that, of course, 59 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: but around the globe there are a few other options 60 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: that they maybe could have gone with Red Bull that 61 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: backed him into the seat. What he can do is 62 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: start winning some of those people over around the globe. 63 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 2: He's got such a winning personality as well. Liam Lawson 64 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: really looking forward to seeing him out on track and 65 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: hoping that the success follows him there too. 66 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 4: Absolutely. What about success for the Warriors tonight, Levina. 67 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. I was in Sydney last week and 68 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: I went along to the Manly match and they put 69 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: thirty points on the Cowboys and I thought, actually that 70 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 3: was the best performance of round one. Yes, better than 71 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 3: the Broncos, as everyone else will say, and I know 72 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 3: it's an air sellout crowd, but it will be hard 73 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 3: going for the Warriors. I just feel as though they're 74 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: lacking structure and attack at the moment, and defensively there 75 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: were just too many holes and Manly are looking strong. 76 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 3: I am glad that Jazz Tebunger gets a chance to 77 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 3: play against the Warriors. He played one hundred and thirty 78 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 3: matches for the Warriors, so that will be something exciting 79 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: for the fans as well. But the Warriors have only 80 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: won one from six against Manly, one of their last 81 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 3: six matches, and I think it'll be one from seven, 82 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: although I did mention it's an a sellout crowd and 83 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 3: those loyal Warriors fan don't mind too much how they go, 84 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: but it would be good to see them do some 85 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: tackling this time. We do this against the Raiders. Defense 86 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: wins game. 87 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: That would be a start, wouldn't it after what we 88 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: saw in Las Vegas where defense fil optional. I agree 89 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: with you Levini, you were the very up closed. I 90 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: thought that the performance of Manly was very very good, 91 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: the pace they played that last week. I don't know 92 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: if the Warriors can stick with them tonight. It's going 93 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: to be a dry track in Auckland. The conditions are 94 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: going to be pretty pretty good, and the Warriors just 95 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: didn't seem to have any idea where they needed to 96 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: be on attack. You know, the best half backs, best 97 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: attacking structures in the game, they're looking two plays ahead 98 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: to go, where do we need to be on tackle 99 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: five when they're in tackle three at that point in time. 100 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: We didn't see that in Las Vegas, didn't see any 101 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: defensive structure. But those time fans with the Warriors are 102 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: worth a few points. You just wonder how much they 103 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: will last. The full house signed that the Warriors have 104 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: become accustomed to O would last couple of seasons ever 105 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: since they got back after COVID, how long that will 106 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 2: last if the results don't follow them. I think this 107 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: is a pretty big that game for the Warriors, and 108 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: it's only a round two of the season, but they 109 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: were so dismal first up. They need to put something 110 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 2: on the board. Tonight lacked a lot of omph? Did 111 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: they plenty of it? 112 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: There's a red moon tonight, a blood moon tonight, so 113 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 4: I'm thinking that might bring in a Warrior out. 114 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: Is that good news for bad news? Is it an 115 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: Homer Goman nor? 116 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 4: I think it's a good omen. Okay, I think it's 117 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 4: a good omen for the Warriors. We'll have to wait 118 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 4: and see. Elliot Smith Lavena good on the Sports Huddle 119 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 4: back in just a second. 120 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: The Friday Sports Tuddle with New Zealand Southby's International Reality 121 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: the Ones with local and global reach. 122 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: Eleven to six news talks, Ellie Smith, Newstalk's Heb's Voice 123 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: of Rugby, and Levin a good sports journalist on the 124 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 4: Sports Huddle tonight, Joseph Park a lot of chat about 125 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 4: this in the last couple of days. Is he going 126 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 4: to get Elliott a title shot? And if so, is 127 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 4: he going to win it? 128 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 2: I think he's capable of. He's had a great second 129 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: wind in his career because a few years ago, three 130 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: or four years ago, maybe a wee bit longer, it 131 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: felt like he was just sort of in the journeyman fights. 132 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: He wasn't really getting anything that was going to put 133 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: his name up in lights again after he had lost 134 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 2: his world title fight and foot, you know, Joshua a 135 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: few years ago. Now, he's had a bit of a 136 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: second wind, and you've got a feel for the guy 137 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago who's supposed to have that 138 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 2: world title fight against Endo Dubois, and then on the 139 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 2: morning of or sort of, you know, twenty four hours beforehand, 140 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: they decided if you did wise sick, he's not going 141 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: to get it. Let's hope that this gets across the line, 142 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: because he's been given the run around a couple of 143 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: times now around his title shot. I think the promoters 144 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: have done well to not rock the boat too much 145 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: because boxing is a sport about egos and various things. 146 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: You say the wrong thing, you basically get off side 147 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 2: with these people. So look, I hope he gets a 148 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 2: shot the form that he's coming to, the shape that 149 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: he's in the latter stages of his career. Said, latter stages. 150 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 2: You know, he's still looking very, very good. I think 151 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: he'd win a fight. I really do. I think he's 152 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 2: got the knockout punch that maybe didn't have in the 153 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: early part of his career. 154 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 4: It's interesting us. 155 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 3: Sorry, yeah, I was just going to say, like to 156 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: make an official apology to Joseph Parker because a year 157 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 3: and a half ago, I thought he was just fighting 158 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: as a journeyman. As Elliott said, just for money. And 159 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 3: then you go twelve twelve months down the line and 160 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: he defeats John Tay Wilder didn't No one expected him 161 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 3: to do that Young as well, and then he knocked 162 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 3: out for Coli. I mean, it's been a really good 163 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: run for the last twelve months and if you think 164 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 3: about it, Fury is gone, Joshua is no longer in form. 165 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 3: He's in the top three. But I don't think this 166 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 3: fight will go ahead against Usik because there's not enough 167 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: money in it for Usik. He'll pick the Bois because 168 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 3: he'll get a sellout crowd and make heaps more money. 169 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: And boxing is so funny, isn't it. Like most sports, 170 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: when a sanctioning body says you have to do something, 171 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 3: you have to do it, but in boxing you don't. 172 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 4: It's just such a weird. I'm learning so much about 173 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 4: this bizarre sport this week and how many different federations 174 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 4: are there and acronyms. Yeah, goodness me. Now. The Super 175 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 4: Rugby season kicked off to a flaming good start and 176 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 4: somebody suggesting today I think it was the Napiers saying 177 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 4: there are only eleven teams. Is that something to do? 178 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: With it quite well be because the Melbourne Rebels dissolved 179 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: after last year. They couldn't pay their bills, they were 180 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: in administration, so they're gone. So it's eleven teams, which 181 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: is an ideal number for the shape of the competition. 182 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: Ideally you'd have an even number makes it easier for 183 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: the buyers. But what it has done all the Australian 184 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: teams have picked off the best Rebels players and they've 185 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: risen up as a result, and they're more competitive against 186 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: the New Zealand sides. And I think the New Zealand 187 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: sides are all relatively even, with perhaps the Chiefs just 188 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 2: poping their head up above and being just above the 189 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: rest of the New Zealand teams. It has been really 190 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: really even. We're four weeks and start a week five 191 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: tonight and there hasn't been a blowout. There hasn't been 192 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: a bad game among them, which WHI is very very 193 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: rare for Super rugby. In recent years. You've had the 194 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: Rebels being pummeled, you have poor old more Una Pacifica 195 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: copping hidings that drew it as well. There hasn't been 196 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: blots and each game has been really really close, and 197 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: at this point of the season. There's no whipping Boys 198 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: and every team has had at least one loss apart 199 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: from the Warritas, so it's a great start for the 200 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: competition and a couple of big Kiwi darby's this weekend 201 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: that could make or break seasons and were already into 202 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: Week five. It has been a superb start and I 203 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: think the reduced number of teams has a lot to 204 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: do with it. 205 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: Well, I'm a massive rugby league fan, as most people know, 206 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,599 Speaker 3: and I never ravee about rugby, but after apologizing to 207 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 3: Joseph Parker, I have to let the fans know I've 208 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: really enjoyed the start of the rugby season and I 209 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: think the rebirth is here and it's mainly because it's 210 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 3: competitive and close. Every team has had to win naninely 211 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 3: four rounds in that's outstanding. Last year the Hurricanes topped 212 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: the regular season. Now there last I agree condensing that 213 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: Australian The Australian teams down to foremant that there's more 214 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 3: talent pool out there to be chosen from. The Brumbies 215 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: not shot up their first win at Eden Park in 216 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: twelve years, and the Chiefs are no longer the IT teams, 217 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 3: so fewer teams short of season, keep the punters craving 218 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: for more. And I'm like in the look of the Highlanders, 219 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 3: even though I'm in Chiefs Territory. 220 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: I like the Highlanders. 221 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 4: Hey, do you have any idea what they viewer ship 222 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 4: numbers are? 223 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: Like? 224 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 4: I mean, because everyone's been saying it's so great. 225 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: We've been up up the season. I have percent to 226 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 2: join me, but they're up compared to last year, which 227 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: was up on the year before. So I know that 228 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: Sky is happy on No. New Zealand Rugby is very 229 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: happy with the way that the season starts. 230 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 4: Interesting, so the changes that have been made are actually 231 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 4: working out working Yeah, so it can be saved, I 232 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 4: think quite possibly. 233 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 2: I think you know a lot of questions when South 234 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: Africa left and then the rejig of the competition. But 235 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 2: we're beginning maybe, and I was a doubter as well, 236 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: We're beginning now to see maybe the format actually finding 237 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: its feet. Very cool. 238 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 4: We'll look forward to seeing more of it. Alliot Smith 239 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 4: and Lavenda Good here on the News Talks.
