Speaker 2: the Raiders first up in Vegas. It's a great pleasure

94
00:05:27,467 --> 00:05:29,907
Speaker 2: to welcome into the news Talks. He'd be studio Warriors

95
00:05:29,987 --> 00:05:32,467
Speaker 2: head coach Andrew Webster. Andrew, thank you so much for

96
00:05:32,507 --> 00:05:34,827
Speaker 2: popping out. It's great to see you. Thanks for spending

97
00:05:34,867 --> 00:05:36,387
Speaker 2: some time with us. She must come in as a

98
00:05:36,387 --> 00:05:39,467
Speaker 2: pretty happy coach. I would imagine with wins in the

99
00:05:39,507 --> 00:05:43,107
Speaker 2: last two games against Manly and the Roosters, what have

100
00:05:43,187 --> 00:05:45,867
Speaker 2: been the keys to those victories?

101
00:05:46,427 --> 00:05:50,267
Speaker 4: I think definitely effort, scramble. Boys are scrambling for each other.

102
00:05:50,307 --> 00:05:53,347
Speaker 4: We haven't been perfect. I think we've actually conceded quite

103
00:05:53,347 --> 00:05:56,787
Speaker 4: a few line breaks, but we only considered one try

104
00:05:56,827 --> 00:05:59,347
Speaker 4: on the weekend, and there were so many OsO close

105
00:05:59,387 --> 00:06:01,867
Speaker 4: moments for the opposition to score, and we found a

106
00:06:01,867 --> 00:06:03,427
Speaker 4: way to get there and have each other's back and

107
00:06:03,467 --> 00:06:06,787
Speaker 4: stop them. Definitely our Kickchase. I think we're putting teams

108
00:06:06,787 --> 00:06:09,267
Speaker 4: where we want them to start their sets from, which

109
00:06:09,307 --> 00:06:11,547
Speaker 4: is applying a lot of pressure, and then we're coming

110
00:06:11,587 --> 00:06:14,907
Speaker 4: over the top when it matters. So lots to and

111
00:06:15,227 --> 00:06:16,867
Speaker 4: work on, Like we're no, I hear where we need

112
00:06:16,907 --> 00:06:18,987
Speaker 4: to be, but at least where got plenty of effort

113
00:06:18,987 --> 00:06:21,067
Speaker 4: and we're working hard for each other. If we've got

114
00:06:21,067 --> 00:06:22,827
Speaker 4: that at the end of the season and we start

115
00:06:22,867 --> 00:06:24,307
Speaker 4: playing better, then that'll be good.

116
00:06:24,587 --> 00:06:26,307
Speaker 2: What happened in Vegas, Oh.

117
00:06:26,307 --> 00:06:28,467
Speaker 4: No, we were Paul like, I can't put my finger

118
00:06:28,507 --> 00:06:33,347
Speaker 4: on it. I think I think it's a real lesson

119
00:06:33,387 --> 00:06:35,747
Speaker 4: in our preparation was really good, but it's not as

120
00:06:35,747 --> 00:06:38,307
Speaker 4: good as year until, like we came home the next

121
00:06:38,347 --> 00:06:41,467
Speaker 4: week and our prep was even better. We tried to

122
00:06:41,547 --> 00:06:43,547
Speaker 4: keep the boys busy in Vegas, just to keep them

123
00:06:43,547 --> 00:06:46,787
Speaker 4: away from all the distractions. But in hindsight, look, I

124
00:06:46,787 --> 00:06:48,747
Speaker 4: don't have the answers, but I just want to put

125
00:06:48,747 --> 00:06:50,667
Speaker 4: a line through it and hopefully I'll never going back

126
00:06:50,667 --> 00:06:51,147
Speaker 4: to Vegasy.

127
00:06:51,267 --> 00:06:54,347
Speaker 2: I was going to ask that would you reconsider an

128
00:06:54,347 --> 00:06:57,347
Speaker 2: invitation to go back? It's a part of the NRLs strategy.

129
00:06:57,387 --> 00:06:59,187
Speaker 2: I think there was a lot of excitement, you know,

130
00:06:59,267 --> 00:07:01,507
Speaker 2: when the Warriors were selected as one of the teams

131
00:07:01,507 --> 00:07:03,347
Speaker 2: to go. I know the fans loved it. Would you

132
00:07:03,387 --> 00:07:06,067
Speaker 2: reconsider doing it again if you were invited?

133
00:07:06,587 --> 00:07:09,587
Speaker 4: Definitely? I mean it's not my decision. Really, I didn't

134
00:07:09,627 --> 00:07:11,267
Speaker 4: get to say this time, and I'm sure I won't

135
00:07:11,307 --> 00:07:13,747
Speaker 4: get to say next time. But I'll support the concept,

136
00:07:13,907 --> 00:07:16,587
Speaker 4: Like I'm glad that we did go and glad our

137
00:07:16,627 --> 00:07:20,627
Speaker 4: fans got to see us there, So like, yeah, if

138
00:07:21,187 --> 00:07:22,947
Speaker 4: they wanted us to go again and it made sense

139
00:07:22,947 --> 00:07:26,427
Speaker 4: for our fans, then we'll take that to that tough

140
00:07:26,467 --> 00:07:29,667
Speaker 4: carry for everyone, But yeah, there was lots of love

141
00:07:29,707 --> 00:07:32,027
Speaker 4: about it. Look, we got to see and decent things

142
00:07:32,027 --> 00:07:33,747
Speaker 4: that some of our boys will never get to do

143
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:34,347
Speaker 4: in their lives.

144
00:07:34,347 --> 00:07:34,587
Speaker 5: You know.

145
00:07:34,707 --> 00:07:36,987
Speaker 4: So rugby league takes you all around the world, but

146
00:07:37,267 --> 00:07:38,907
Speaker 4: we're just disappointed we didn't do it for all those

147
00:07:38,987 --> 00:07:41,387
Speaker 4: fans because we were so well supported. Everywhere you walked,

148
00:07:41,787 --> 00:07:44,147
Speaker 4: you just saw worries fans and then now it felt

149
00:07:44,187 --> 00:07:45,147
Speaker 4: like we let them down a bit.

150
00:07:45,787 --> 00:07:47,987
Speaker 2: Let's talk about a couple of players. Your half's combo,

151
00:07:48,147 --> 00:07:51,147
Speaker 2: Chanelle Harris, Devita, Luke Metcalf. You've selected them for the

152
00:07:51,147 --> 00:07:53,067
Speaker 2: first three games. In fact, it's been the same seventeen

153
00:07:53,107 --> 00:07:55,027
Speaker 2: for the first three games, Yeah, which has been terrific.

154
00:07:55,147 --> 00:07:58,067
Speaker 2: What do you predict for Chanelle and Luke as the

155
00:07:58,107 --> 00:07:58,867
Speaker 2: season goes on.

156
00:07:59,227 --> 00:08:02,147
Speaker 4: I just think once they build that combination, they're going

157
00:08:02,187 --> 00:08:04,747
Speaker 4: to thrive. Otherwise we wouldn't have them there. And we've

158
00:08:04,747 --> 00:08:08,907
Speaker 4: got two great back ups in to Mighty and Tanner

159
00:08:08,987 --> 00:08:11,707
Speaker 4: Boyd that at any time we could call on and

160
00:08:11,707 --> 00:08:13,987
Speaker 4: they do a fantastic job. They're playing really good football

161
00:08:13,987 --> 00:08:15,747
Speaker 4: in their own right and reserve great. At the moment,

162
00:08:16,627 --> 00:08:19,307
Speaker 4: I think these boys have had real glimpses of real

163
00:08:19,307 --> 00:08:22,387
Speaker 4: good footing. I think Vegas we didn't give them opportunity

164
00:08:22,387 --> 00:08:24,867
Speaker 4: to raiders to show what they could do off the

165
00:08:24,867 --> 00:08:29,307
Speaker 4: bat the way we defended. But yeah, I just think

166
00:08:29,667 --> 00:08:32,867
Speaker 4: like round two, you've got to see Luke Enchanell really

167
00:08:32,907 --> 00:08:35,467
Speaker 4: thrive at back into the game, and the same thing

168
00:08:35,547 --> 00:08:38,307
Speaker 4: happened on the weekend. Like they want to improve things

169
00:08:38,427 --> 00:08:41,867
Speaker 4: we'd like them to improve, but we're absolutely wrapped with

170
00:08:41,907 --> 00:08:44,427
Speaker 4: what they're achieving, so particularly with their kicking game, like

171
00:08:44,507 --> 00:08:47,107
Speaker 4: they're putting the oppositions right where we want it, Like

172
00:08:47,147 --> 00:08:48,547
Speaker 4: I said, so that's pretty cool.

173
00:08:49,027 --> 00:08:51,747
Speaker 2: How challenging has it been for Luke Metcalfe to step

174
00:08:51,787 --> 00:08:54,627
Speaker 2: into the boots of a club legend like Shawn Johnson.

175
00:08:55,987 --> 00:08:58,347
Speaker 4: You'd have to ask Luke. But on the surface, he

176
00:08:58,427 --> 00:09:02,067
Speaker 4: seems really cool. He seems he seems really calm about

177
00:09:02,067 --> 00:09:04,387
Speaker 4: what he wants to do. He's excited for the next challenge,

178
00:09:04,507 --> 00:09:08,427
Speaker 4: he wants to rain. So what I've seen is a

179
00:09:08,467 --> 00:09:12,467
Speaker 4: guy who wants to improve every day. He knows what

180
00:09:12,547 --> 00:09:16,947
Speaker 4: he's good at. Yeah, I haven't noticed anything that it's

181
00:09:16,987 --> 00:09:19,907
Speaker 4: alarming or that he's struggling with the pressure. I think

182
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:24,747
Speaker 4: Seian got to play, you know, over two hundred games

183
00:09:24,747 --> 00:09:28,387
Speaker 4: of NRL. Lukes early on in his career, so there

184
00:09:28,387 --> 00:09:31,987
Speaker 4: are different different ends of the spectrum. But yeah, I

185
00:09:32,027 --> 00:09:34,027
Speaker 4: think Lukes handle situation really well and.

186
00:09:33,987 --> 00:09:36,787
Speaker 2: To Mighty played in the halfs quite a lot last year.

187
00:09:36,987 --> 00:09:38,987
Speaker 2: Are you still in your plans for twenty twenty five.

188
00:09:39,227 --> 00:09:41,947
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going to take a squad to win this

189
00:09:42,027 --> 00:09:45,107
Speaker 4: if we want to win it, and some stage s

190
00:09:45,187 --> 00:09:47,067
Speaker 4: might is either going to force his way in there

191
00:09:47,187 --> 00:09:50,507
Speaker 4: or there's going to be an injury and when he's

192
00:09:50,747 --> 00:09:52,867
Speaker 4: if he's ready, we've got a great, great guy in

193
00:09:52,867 --> 00:09:54,907
Speaker 4: too Mighty to come in, like I said Sam as

194
00:09:54,987 --> 00:09:58,507
Speaker 4: Tana Boyd. So now I think we're very less. There

195
00:09:58,507 --> 00:10:00,827
Speaker 4: A lot of clubs love four halfbacks like we've got,

196
00:10:01,027 --> 00:10:04,107
Speaker 4: but you need them like they're so important for your depth.

197
00:10:04,187 --> 00:10:07,107
Speaker 4: And yeah, he's playing really good footing.

198
00:10:07,747 --> 00:10:10,827
Speaker 2: Any updated time frame on Dellan what in he's a

199
00:10:10,907 --> 00:10:11,827
Speaker 2: Easney extra return?

200
00:10:12,187 --> 00:10:12,387
Speaker 5: No?

201
00:10:12,387 --> 00:10:15,587
Speaker 4: No, So Dylan, he goes back to the surgeon this week,

202
00:10:15,627 --> 00:10:18,187
Speaker 4: he gets the I think it's the wire, don't hold

203
00:10:18,187 --> 00:10:19,947
Speaker 4: me to that wire or screw out this week and

204
00:10:19,987 --> 00:10:23,307
Speaker 4: then that just basically starts working on how he can

205
00:10:23,307 --> 00:10:25,827
Speaker 4: get his strength and his range back and then we'll

206
00:10:25,867 --> 00:10:28,227
Speaker 4: know more. But I think that a round tens the

207
00:10:28,227 --> 00:10:29,187
Speaker 4: plan at this stage.

208
00:10:29,787 --> 00:10:31,667
Speaker 2: From a wider point of view, they always say that

209
00:10:31,707 --> 00:10:33,707
Speaker 2: you shouldn't ride the highest too high or the lows

210
00:10:33,747 --> 00:10:37,747
Speaker 2: too low, And you always strike me as being very level. Yeah,

211
00:10:37,787 --> 00:10:40,467
Speaker 2: before a game, during a game, after a game, win

212
00:10:40,627 --> 00:10:44,107
Speaker 2: or lose, how do you manage your emotions, particularly after

213
00:10:44,147 --> 00:10:44,827
Speaker 2: a defeat.

214
00:10:45,107 --> 00:10:48,467
Speaker 4: I think the only pressure I put on is put

215
00:10:48,867 --> 00:10:52,187
Speaker 4: the pressure from myself. I mean, that's what I mean

216
00:10:52,227 --> 00:10:54,467
Speaker 4: by that is I don't listen to the outside noise.

217
00:10:54,507 --> 00:10:56,347
Speaker 4: I only care about the people in our four war.

218
00:10:56,507 --> 00:10:59,627
Speaker 4: So I think when you have high expectations, which I do,

219
00:10:59,987 --> 00:11:03,187
Speaker 4: I want to win and be successful, they're only my expectation,

220
00:11:03,347 --> 00:11:06,147
Speaker 4: not somebody else's. When you're trying to meet someone else's,

221
00:11:06,387 --> 00:11:09,347
Speaker 4: that's when you have fear of loss, or you start

222
00:11:09,427 --> 00:11:12,347
Speaker 4: changing who you are and you start getting emotional and

223
00:11:12,387 --> 00:11:15,707
Speaker 4: you start losing a little bit. And I'm not perfect

224
00:11:15,827 --> 00:11:18,947
Speaker 4: with that either. Like trust me, I think the camera

225
00:11:19,027 --> 00:11:20,867
Speaker 4: is pretty kind to me during the game. There's a

226
00:11:20,907 --> 00:11:24,907
Speaker 4: few moments there were I'm yelling and screaming, but yeah,

227
00:11:25,427 --> 00:11:28,587
Speaker 4: just on the surface, like good examples around one Vegas.

228
00:11:28,947 --> 00:11:31,227
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, I was disappointed because

229
00:11:31,227 --> 00:11:33,067
Speaker 4: of the occasion but I just looked at it is

230
00:11:33,147 --> 00:11:36,467
Speaker 4: round one. There's a long way to go, a weekend,

231
00:11:36,467 --> 00:11:38,507
Speaker 4: maybe leagues, a long time. If we win next game,

232
00:11:39,147 --> 00:11:41,547
Speaker 4: you know, there's the confidence that we can build on that.

233
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:44,267
Speaker 4: So yeah, I just look at it, probably a bit

234
00:11:44,307 --> 00:11:45,507
Speaker 4: different than most people.

235
00:11:45,547 --> 00:11:48,347
Speaker 2: And it's between your four walls, and that's obviously the

236
00:11:48,387 --> 00:11:49,827
Speaker 2: best way to do it. You know, you're in a

237
00:11:49,827 --> 00:11:53,827
Speaker 2: sanctum of the people you trust. Do you stew on defeat?

238
00:11:54,067 --> 00:11:54,267
Speaker 5: Yeah?

239
00:11:54,907 --> 00:11:58,067
Speaker 4: Yeah, it hurts, like it hurts deep down, like when

240
00:11:58,107 --> 00:12:00,587
Speaker 4: I say deep down, like it doesn't leave until you

241
00:12:00,627 --> 00:12:04,107
Speaker 4: make it right, even like some losses in my life

242
00:12:04,147 --> 00:12:05,907
Speaker 4: that I just think, you know, as a player, when

243
00:12:05,907 --> 00:12:08,827
Speaker 4: I was playing under seventh Grand Final to now, like

244
00:12:08,987 --> 00:12:13,587
Speaker 4: they hurt, they hurt less every day, but they're still there.

245
00:12:13,787 --> 00:12:16,347
Speaker 4: And yeah, everyone wants to win and I hate losing,

246
00:12:16,427 --> 00:12:18,947
Speaker 4: but you've got to get over yourself and you've got

247
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:22,787
Speaker 4: to get over what the occasion. But sometimes doesn't hurt,

248
00:12:23,187 --> 00:12:24,547
Speaker 4: let it sit with you for a bit so you

249
00:12:24,627 --> 00:12:28,507
Speaker 4: never want to go back there. But yeah, no, I

250
00:12:28,547 --> 00:12:30,747
Speaker 4: struggled just as much as anyone with losing.

251
00:12:30,947 --> 00:12:32,947
Speaker 2: But Mondays must be a hicck of a lot nice

252
00:12:32,987 --> 00:12:34,547
Speaker 2: around the playing group, as well. When you get to win,

253
00:12:34,907 --> 00:12:37,187
Speaker 2: I can imagine these boys bounding it on a Monday

254
00:12:37,387 --> 00:12:38,627
Speaker 2: after all winner. Is that the case?

255
00:12:38,747 --> 00:12:41,107
Speaker 4: Well, when you play Friday nights, which we have last two,

256
00:12:41,147 --> 00:12:43,307
Speaker 4: and you'll win. We do a review on Saturday in

257
00:12:43,387 --> 00:12:46,747
Speaker 4: a recovery session, and they bounce in tired, so but

258
00:12:46,787 --> 00:12:48,867
Speaker 4: they've got a smile on their face. And then they

259
00:12:48,867 --> 00:12:50,547
Speaker 4: get a day and a half off and bounce back

260
00:12:50,587 --> 00:12:54,347
Speaker 4: in Monday. So I've certainly lost them Friday night and

261
00:12:54,387 --> 00:12:56,827
Speaker 4: the rest of the weekend. It doesn't feel the same,

262
00:12:56,987 --> 00:12:58,867
Speaker 4: but the boys are in a good mood at the moment.

263
00:12:59,547 --> 00:13:02,707
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty three was an exceptional year for you, twenty

264
00:13:02,747 --> 00:13:06,347
Speaker 2: twenty four not so much. What was different last year?

265
00:13:08,667 --> 00:13:11,187
Speaker 4: Well, the results we obviously were like we finished thirteenth

266
00:13:11,227 --> 00:13:14,427
Speaker 4: as opposed to fourth. We had a lot of injuries,

267
00:13:14,467 --> 00:13:17,507
Speaker 4: but I still hadn't believe even if we had everyone available,

268
00:13:17,507 --> 00:13:19,227
Speaker 4: still don't think we would have achieved what we wanted

269
00:13:19,267 --> 00:13:22,387
Speaker 4: to achieve. So I certainly think we would have improved.

270
00:13:23,947 --> 00:13:27,107
Speaker 4: But the big thing for me is I assumed a

271
00:13:27,107 --> 00:13:29,267
Speaker 4: couple of things. If I'm being honest, I thought that

272
00:13:29,467 --> 00:13:32,787
Speaker 4: we practice hard, we'll fit. We worked at our game,

273
00:13:33,067 --> 00:13:36,227
Speaker 4: there was always a focus. Like I said, getting back

274
00:13:36,227 --> 00:13:39,507
Speaker 4: to expectation. Everyone was talking about the external noise of

275
00:13:39,547 --> 00:13:41,867
Speaker 4: the nation and everyone thinks we can win the camp.

276
00:13:42,427 --> 00:13:44,987
Speaker 4: It was more our own expectations. We were hungry for it,

277
00:13:45,107 --> 00:13:46,987
Speaker 4: we wanted to want it, and when we didn't reach

278
00:13:47,027 --> 00:13:50,867
Speaker 4: those expectations, you could see that we didn't get over

279
00:13:50,907 --> 00:13:55,107
Speaker 4: it well and everyone started to struggle with that moment,

280
00:13:55,347 --> 00:13:57,347
Speaker 4: and therefore we didn't defend our trial line or we

281
00:13:57,387 --> 00:14:00,227
Speaker 4: carried that moment on. So I think we've done really

282
00:14:00,267 --> 00:14:02,827
Speaker 4: well so far this year that when that moment comes,

283
00:14:02,827 --> 00:14:05,387
Speaker 4: we get over it quick and we move on, and

284
00:14:05,427 --> 00:14:09,387
Speaker 4: we still expect expectations and standards, but we don't have

285
00:14:09,427 --> 00:14:11,187
Speaker 4: as much anxiety around them.

286
00:14:11,547 --> 00:14:14,267
Speaker 2: There're awesome big players Eat of this season Shawn Johnson.

287
00:14:14,267 --> 00:14:17,747
Speaker 2: We mentioned Tall who Harris in particular. Those two guys,

288
00:14:18,747 --> 00:14:20,507
Speaker 2: what kind of hole do they leave, not just on

289
00:14:20,547 --> 00:14:22,107
Speaker 2: the field, but around the playing group.

290
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:26,067
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think every hole that's left someone feels it.

291
00:14:26,227 --> 00:14:29,307
Speaker 4: Like it's a cliche, but like you do not lead

292
00:14:29,907 --> 00:14:32,267
Speaker 4: and do not have the space to lead in this

293
00:14:32,427 --> 00:14:36,027
Speaker 4: dominant figures like Tahu and sean To who's greatest strength

294
00:14:36,707 --> 00:14:38,787
Speaker 4: is that he gives space for other people to lead.

295
00:14:39,067 --> 00:14:41,627
Speaker 4: Shawn's greatest strength is he's dominant. He's a halfback he

296
00:14:41,667 --> 00:14:45,387
Speaker 4: should be. But at same stage Seawan's he's a team guy,

297
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:48,747
Speaker 4: you know. But they definitely leave a hole and then

298
00:14:48,787 --> 00:14:52,427
Speaker 4: you see people step up and want that. So yeah,

299
00:14:52,467 --> 00:14:54,507
Speaker 4: it's I don't know. I look at it from an

300
00:14:54,547 --> 00:14:57,387
Speaker 4: optimistic point of view that whilst we miss them and

301
00:14:57,467 --> 00:15:00,067
Speaker 4: we'd love to have them around, we've got guys like

302
00:15:00,107 --> 00:15:02,587
Speaker 4: Luke Metcalfe've got a guy like Aaron Clark who's come

303
00:15:03,227 --> 00:15:06,027
Speaker 4: back home and he's got an opportunity to step up

304
00:15:06,067 --> 00:15:09,227
Speaker 4: in that space. And you can just see ex playing

305
00:15:09,227 --> 00:15:10,347
Speaker 4: grate footy do.

306
00:15:10,387 --> 00:15:12,907
Speaker 2: To Who and Sean and others who have left the

307
00:15:12,907 --> 00:15:15,787
Speaker 2: playing groups still have a contribution to make.

308
00:15:16,587 --> 00:15:18,507
Speaker 4: I think they will for the rest of their lives

309
00:15:18,507 --> 00:15:20,387
Speaker 4: if they want to, and I think they will if

310
00:15:20,387 --> 00:15:26,227
Speaker 4: we allow them to. Simon Mannering's always welcome, Dean bellis

311
00:15:26,227 --> 00:15:29,907
Speaker 4: the first Captain's welcome. So I definitely think Toy and

312
00:15:29,947 --> 00:15:33,467
Speaker 4: Sean being recent retired and being such good players. I mean,

313
00:15:33,507 --> 00:15:35,587
Speaker 4: we had Toy Who around the week leading up tears

314
00:15:37,107 --> 00:15:40,147
Speaker 4: kind of his fellwell, which we had in the mainly game,

315
00:15:40,507 --> 00:15:43,547
Speaker 4: and Shawn's been a training a few times, so yeah,

316
00:15:43,587 --> 00:15:45,627
Speaker 4: and Sean's going to do some work with our younger players.

317
00:15:45,667 --> 00:15:48,387
Speaker 4: So like they definitely have a big, big part to play.

318
00:15:48,587 --> 00:15:52,467
Speaker 4: It's it's just making sure they feel welcome, which they are,

319
00:15:52,667 --> 00:15:56,707
Speaker 4: and just making sure hopefully when they're eighty they're still

320
00:15:56,707 --> 00:15:57,787
Speaker 4: having that in some form.

321
00:15:58,787 --> 00:16:02,187
Speaker 2: I'm sure they will. James will be dead by having

322
00:16:02,187 --> 00:16:04,987
Speaker 2: a contribution, and there, I'm sure you'll still be around.

323
00:16:05,227 --> 00:16:08,107
Speaker 2: James Busha Harris. Can you talk to us a bit

324
00:16:08,107 --> 00:16:09,787
Speaker 2: about his influence on the side, what you've seen from

325
00:16:09,827 --> 00:16:10,667
Speaker 2: him since his arrival.

326
00:16:11,267 --> 00:16:14,107
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think our standards improved from him just walking

327
00:16:14,107 --> 00:16:18,347
Speaker 4: through the door. I just think for even said a word.

328
00:16:18,627 --> 00:16:20,827
Speaker 4: I think players saw the way he played the hurd,

329
00:16:20,867 --> 00:16:23,867
Speaker 4: his reputation, some of our boys playing Kiwi's with him

330
00:16:23,867 --> 00:16:27,307
Speaker 4: and Maldi's and they knew, okay, these are the standards,

331
00:16:27,467 --> 00:16:30,027
Speaker 4: and they didn't want to let him down or they

332
00:16:30,067 --> 00:16:33,187
Speaker 4: wanted to be part of that. So I think our

333
00:16:33,227 --> 00:16:36,947
Speaker 4: intensity of training improved straight away, and I think Fish

334
00:16:36,987 --> 00:16:40,787
Speaker 4: definitely drove that by his obviously his actions. We've got

335
00:16:40,787 --> 00:16:43,027
Speaker 4: a guy on Mitch Barnett who's also very good at

336
00:16:43,067 --> 00:16:46,547
Speaker 4: that already, He's exceptional and hence while they're co captains.

337
00:16:47,067 --> 00:16:51,507
Speaker 4: But then when Mitch has an ally in Fish and

338
00:16:51,587 --> 00:16:55,827
Speaker 4: both are both are training like that, then everyone's everyone's

339
00:16:55,867 --> 00:16:56,947
Speaker 4: got to lift their standards.

340
00:16:57,147 --> 00:16:59,507
Speaker 2: Because it was talk when James Fisher Harris came in

341
00:16:59,507 --> 00:17:01,347
Speaker 2: that he might be given the captain, so you might

342
00:17:01,427 --> 00:17:04,227
Speaker 2: choose him as your as your captain. Was there a

343
00:17:04,307 --> 00:17:07,307
Speaker 2: reluctance to do that because I'd have just added more

344
00:17:07,347 --> 00:17:07,987
Speaker 2: to his plate.

345
00:17:08,427 --> 00:17:12,147
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, and James notis. We had good conversations. I

346
00:17:12,187 --> 00:17:16,507
Speaker 4: had no plans on making him captain, just from he

347
00:17:16,547 --> 00:17:18,947
Speaker 4: wanted to come here and I prove I didn't want

348
00:17:19,147 --> 00:17:22,987
Speaker 4: him to feel like he was our savior. We're going

349
00:17:23,027 --> 00:17:27,547
Speaker 4: to put added pressure on his back. But then also

350
00:17:28,267 --> 00:17:31,027
Speaker 4: I was also aware of last year how good Mitch's

351
00:17:31,107 --> 00:17:34,467
Speaker 4: leadership skills were and what when Tay got injured, how

352
00:17:34,507 --> 00:17:38,307
Speaker 4: he lifted and what he created for the team. And

353
00:17:38,347 --> 00:17:41,387
Speaker 4: then when I saw fish aarrivee and I saw Mitch

354
00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:43,427
Speaker 4: doing what he's doing, and they were doing stuff together,

355
00:17:44,027 --> 00:17:46,507
Speaker 4: and also a bit of Yin and Yang, which is

356
00:17:46,587 --> 00:17:50,907
Speaker 4: very loud and emotional. James is very quiet, but when

357
00:17:50,947 --> 00:17:53,667
Speaker 4: he talks, everyone stops. So I just thought he's a

358
00:17:53,667 --> 00:17:57,187
Speaker 4: perfect example of ying and yang. But like my marriage,

359
00:17:58,027 --> 00:18:00,267
Speaker 4: and I thought it'd be perfect for them and for

360
00:18:00,347 --> 00:18:02,907
Speaker 4: the team and for the nation. So they just made

361
00:18:02,947 --> 00:18:04,827
Speaker 4: a great fit. And then I spoke to James. Look,

362
00:18:04,947 --> 00:18:06,267
Speaker 4: I wasn't going to do this. I didn't think of

363
00:18:06,387 --> 00:18:09,107
Speaker 4: would work, but I think it would be perfect for us.

364
00:18:09,187 --> 00:18:12,787
Speaker 4: Do you want it? He wanted it, and I've really

365
00:18:12,827 --> 00:18:15,947
Speaker 4: spoken to mention they both wanted to do it together.

366
00:18:16,267 --> 00:18:18,587
Speaker 2: All right, fantastic Andrew, please stay with us. I know

Speaker 2: pleasure to have Andrew Webster in studio with us. Ivan

384
00:19:08,907 --> 00:19:11,627
Speaker 2: Cleary a guy you worked with at Penrith. You know

385
00:19:11,747 --> 00:19:14,267
Speaker 2: him well, no doubt you still have a little bit

386
00:19:14,307 --> 00:19:16,667
Speaker 2: to do with him. How much of an influence has

387
00:19:16,867 --> 00:19:18,147
Speaker 2: Ivan Cleary been on you?

388
00:19:18,987 --> 00:19:23,867
Speaker 4: A huge Yeah, I mean I haven't obviously. I've learned

389
00:19:23,907 --> 00:19:26,427
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff about rugby league. I've obviously learned

390
00:19:26,427 --> 00:19:30,307
Speaker 4: a lot of things how you carry yourself. The biggest

391
00:19:30,307 --> 00:19:32,307
Speaker 4: thing from my Ivan is I've never seen a guy

392
00:19:32,347 --> 00:19:35,227
Speaker 4: have such a good balance between working hard and family.

393
00:19:36,547 --> 00:19:40,427
Speaker 4: And I think his family values then transfer into his

394
00:19:40,507 --> 00:19:43,347
Speaker 4: work values, so he treats his players like that, he's

395
00:19:43,427 --> 00:19:47,027
Speaker 4: family his staff. It's big on connection and everyone being

396
00:19:47,067 --> 00:19:49,987
Speaker 4: close together and wanting to come to work every day

397
00:19:50,827 --> 00:19:53,907
Speaker 4: just creates a great environment. I learned a lot about

398
00:19:53,947 --> 00:19:56,507
Speaker 4: that and I fell out they're close to my values

399
00:19:56,507 --> 00:20:00,387
Speaker 4: as well, which is cool. The big thing Ivan's taught

400
00:20:00,387 --> 00:20:02,267
Speaker 4: me is you can't copy and paste. You've always got

401
00:20:02,267 --> 00:20:06,067
Speaker 4: to be your authentic self. So not necessarily everything he

402
00:20:06,107 --> 00:20:07,947
Speaker 4: does going to work for me or for the next coach,

403
00:20:08,187 --> 00:20:10,427
Speaker 4: but a bloody learn a lot from him, you know,

404
00:20:10,587 --> 00:20:12,347
Speaker 4: So I got I've got to copy.

405
00:20:12,067 --> 00:20:16,227
Speaker 2: If you think, yeah, oh look, absolutely imitations the sincerest

406
00:20:16,267 --> 00:20:18,667
Speaker 2: form of flattery. And why wouldn't you when he's been

407
00:20:18,707 --> 00:20:22,907
Speaker 2: so successful. You talked about him, you know, mixing balancing

408
00:20:22,947 --> 00:20:25,867
Speaker 2: family with his work, but one of his family's at work,

409
00:20:26,307 --> 00:20:29,587
Speaker 2: you know, So what have you observed from him? Because

410
00:20:30,027 --> 00:20:31,707
Speaker 2: I don't know this to be true, but if I

411
00:20:31,827 --> 00:20:34,187
Speaker 2: was coaching my son, I don't know how I would

412
00:20:34,267 --> 00:20:36,147
Speaker 2: do that. Well, how does he do it?

413
00:20:36,827 --> 00:20:40,347
Speaker 4: I think the luckiest thing I haven't got his son. Well,

414
00:20:40,507 --> 00:20:42,627
Speaker 4: when I say lucky, I mean in the day, I

415
00:20:42,627 --> 00:20:46,107
Speaker 4: mean who would It's just how it's happened. But Nathan's

416
00:20:47,147 --> 00:20:50,427
Speaker 4: a great playmaker, and you got the coach. So when

417
00:20:50,947 --> 00:20:54,067
Speaker 4: the playmaker and the coach discussed tactics, you know that

418
00:20:54,067 --> 00:20:56,747
Speaker 4: you've got complete buying and faith in the plan. And

419
00:20:57,667 --> 00:21:00,307
Speaker 4: I haven't sitting there in the coach's box looking down

420
00:21:00,307 --> 00:21:02,947
Speaker 4: and saying I'm really comfort my son can do this

421
00:21:03,627 --> 00:21:07,187
Speaker 4: and then and I just feel like when Ivan talks,

422
00:21:07,707 --> 00:21:12,027
Speaker 4: Nathan drives those messages really well. Therefore everyone's got buying,

423
00:21:12,107 --> 00:21:15,147
Speaker 4: everyone's going in the same direction. So I think that's

424
00:21:15,147 --> 00:21:18,747
Speaker 4: a real advantage on it. I don't think Nathan's position

425
00:21:18,827 --> 00:21:21,827
Speaker 4: in the teams have doubted. Is he like when you

426
00:21:21,907 --> 00:21:24,427
Speaker 4: coach your son and you're not sure and you're like,

427
00:21:24,507 --> 00:21:26,267
Speaker 4: I need to be harder on him because everyone thinks

428
00:21:26,267 --> 00:21:28,907
Speaker 4: I'm soft. I don't think Ivan has to do that,

429
00:21:28,947 --> 00:21:31,907
Speaker 4: does he? So he's really clear that he can just

430
00:21:32,067 --> 00:21:34,467
Speaker 4: they can have a great relationship still a father son

431
00:21:34,507 --> 00:21:37,227
Speaker 4: relationship in my opinion, Like you can definitely still see it.

432
00:21:37,907 --> 00:21:42,267
Speaker 4: But yeah, they're both very introverted, so it's not like

433
00:21:42,307 --> 00:21:44,267
Speaker 4: they're on top of each other every day at work either.

434
00:21:45,347 --> 00:21:48,427
Speaker 4: But they they have an awesome relationship, and I think

435
00:21:48,467 --> 00:21:50,307
Speaker 4: it's a lot of trust. From a forty point of

436
00:21:50,347 --> 00:21:51,307
Speaker 4: view and a personal point of.

437
00:21:51,307 --> 00:21:57,907
Speaker 2: View, you're managing a wide variety of personalities among the

438
00:21:57,947 --> 00:22:02,587
Speaker 2: young men in your charge. What is your basic man

439
00:22:02,707 --> 00:22:05,067
Speaker 2: management philosophy?

440
00:22:05,707 --> 00:22:08,987
Speaker 4: Well, people's my thing, you know, That's why I want

441
00:22:08,987 --> 00:22:12,707
Speaker 4: to do the job. I enjoyed people. If I if

442
00:22:12,707 --> 00:22:15,587
Speaker 4: I had to cut vision, come up with tactics and

443
00:22:15,627 --> 00:22:17,507
Speaker 4: then pass it to somebody and then they go deliver

444
00:22:17,547 --> 00:22:19,387
Speaker 4: it and I don't even talk to that person. I

445
00:22:19,427 --> 00:22:23,827
Speaker 4: wouldn't enjoy it, just because that's the most exciting part

446
00:22:23,867 --> 00:22:27,667
Speaker 4: having an impact on someone's life and you know, helping

447
00:22:27,667 --> 00:22:31,147
Speaker 4: people grow and as a result everyone does.

448
00:22:32,627 --> 00:22:32,867
Speaker 2: Yeah.

449
00:22:32,987 --> 00:22:36,107
Speaker 4: My man management style is like work with people, not

450
00:22:36,347 --> 00:22:41,827
Speaker 4: on top of them or against them. I'll rarely give

451
00:22:41,867 --> 00:22:45,347
Speaker 4: a spray, but I'm firm. So when I raise my

452
00:22:45,427 --> 00:22:47,707
Speaker 4: voice or I make a point, I feel like it's clear.

453
00:22:48,667 --> 00:22:52,187
Speaker 4: Clarity is my whole thing. Sorry, my voice is gone.

454
00:22:52,267 --> 00:22:55,347
Speaker 4: But if you're clear and what your roles and expectations

455
00:22:55,347 --> 00:22:56,867
Speaker 4: are and you feel like you have to say in

456
00:22:56,907 --> 00:23:00,067
Speaker 4: something and you feel empowered and you feel belong loved

457
00:23:00,147 --> 00:23:01,387
Speaker 4: and you're going to excel.

458
00:23:01,667 --> 00:23:07,747
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. Just are the philosophies that that work across

459
00:23:07,747 --> 00:23:11,667
Speaker 2: everybody or is everyone really different from one another?

460
00:23:11,867 --> 00:23:14,147
Speaker 4: I think if you treat people well and develop people

461
00:23:14,147 --> 00:23:17,547
Speaker 4: that are work in any environment doesn't mean you can't

462
00:23:17,547 --> 00:23:23,987
Speaker 4: be really brutally honest as well. But I think also too,

463
00:23:25,067 --> 00:23:28,067
Speaker 4: a toxic environment will only work for so long. Like

464
00:23:28,187 --> 00:23:33,907
Speaker 4: I've seen harsh, aggressive environments where they have short term

465
00:23:34,307 --> 00:23:38,467
Speaker 4: goal gains, but long term they always fail. They fall

466
00:23:38,467 --> 00:23:42,227
Speaker 4: apart very quickly. But you can see a real spiking.

467
00:23:42,827 --> 00:23:45,307
Speaker 4: People are on their toes. People are worried. I better

468
00:23:45,387 --> 00:23:47,107
Speaker 4: be good at this otherwise this is going to happen.

469
00:23:47,547 --> 00:23:48,467
Speaker 4: But you can't sustain.

470
00:23:48,507 --> 00:23:51,947
Speaker 2: The cam Georgian here last year and I asked them

471
00:23:52,027 --> 00:23:53,947
Speaker 2: this question. I ask you was well. I asked him

472
00:23:53,947 --> 00:23:58,227
Speaker 2: whether he thought a sporting franchise or any organization could

473
00:23:58,627 --> 00:23:59,787
Speaker 2: survive one dickhead.

474
00:24:00,307 --> 00:24:05,907
Speaker 4: He said no, do you agree? I think no digad

475
00:24:05,907 --> 00:24:08,427
Speaker 4: policy you will always give you a best chance of success,

476
00:24:09,507 --> 00:24:13,267
Speaker 4: that's for sure. I think the thing is sometimes if

477
00:24:13,307 --> 00:24:14,907
Speaker 4: there's a guy who's a bit rough around the edges

478
00:24:14,947 --> 00:24:18,587
Speaker 4: and you get an amazing culture and establish one, they

479
00:24:18,627 --> 00:24:22,427
Speaker 4: could help grow that person and do even better person.

480
00:24:22,987 --> 00:24:25,667
Speaker 4: But if they're fundamentally deep down to dicket and always

481
00:24:25,747 --> 00:24:28,707
Speaker 4: going to be one, then they don't there shouldn't be

482
00:24:28,747 --> 00:24:30,627
Speaker 4: in your organization, or if they are, they shouldn't be

483
00:24:30,667 --> 00:24:31,107
Speaker 4: there for long.

484
00:24:32,107 --> 00:24:35,067
Speaker 2: Players always talk about having a why. I'm sure coaches

485
00:24:35,107 --> 00:24:36,747
Speaker 2: do as well. You alluded to it before. I think

486
00:24:36,747 --> 00:24:39,467
Speaker 2: it's based around the people that you work with, the

487
00:24:39,507 --> 00:24:42,027
Speaker 2: men that you work alongside. Those so your influence on

488
00:24:42,067 --> 00:24:46,307
Speaker 2: a day to day basis. Is that your why or

489
00:24:46,427 --> 00:24:49,547
Speaker 2: is it greater than that? Why do you do this well?

490
00:24:49,547 --> 00:24:52,387
Speaker 4: Other different wise? Now, I think your why changes as

491
00:24:52,387 --> 00:24:56,587
Speaker 4: you go. My why has not been I want to

492
00:24:56,587 --> 00:24:59,627
Speaker 4: be a head coach for any other reason? Then I

493
00:24:59,747 --> 00:25:02,387
Speaker 4: just feel like you want that feeling of I think

494
00:25:02,427 --> 00:25:05,107
Speaker 4: I'd be good at it. I feel like if you

495
00:25:05,227 --> 00:25:08,467
Speaker 4: enjoy your job and you reap rewards, then you get

496
00:25:08,467 --> 00:25:11,947
Speaker 4: that self satisfaction. I'm not in it for the pats

497
00:25:11,947 --> 00:25:14,667
Speaker 4: on the back. If I'm being honest from everyone else,

498
00:25:14,667 --> 00:25:17,387
Speaker 4: it's it's just like I would love to create an

499
00:25:17,507 --> 00:25:20,387
Speaker 4: environment where everyone loves coming to work and they can

500
00:25:20,427 --> 00:25:23,467
Speaker 4: be their best and succeed. And that is so self satisfy.

501
00:25:23,467 --> 00:25:25,227
Speaker 4: That is so satisfying to be a part of that

502
00:25:25,587 --> 00:25:28,307
Speaker 4: see other people grow, and that's just my thing. That's

503
00:25:28,347 --> 00:25:32,187
Speaker 4: my wife. I love the game like I generally love footy.

504
00:25:32,667 --> 00:25:36,227
Speaker 4: I'd be doing it for nothing, you know, in the

505
00:25:36,307 --> 00:25:38,747
Speaker 4: old days. I'm sure they all coach, you know, for

506
00:25:38,827 --> 00:25:41,707
Speaker 4: no money. But I'd be one of those guys, like

507
00:25:41,747 --> 00:25:46,827
Speaker 4: I generally love rugby league and I love people. But yeah,

508
00:25:47,027 --> 00:25:50,267
Speaker 4: for my family as well, like I for my mum

509
00:25:50,307 --> 00:25:52,027
Speaker 4: and dad, my brother and sister, and my wife, my

510
00:25:52,027 --> 00:25:54,627
Speaker 4: little boy, like, I'd like to making them proud and

511
00:25:54,787 --> 00:25:57,147
Speaker 4: one day they can see mom my Dad always Mum

512
00:25:57,147 --> 00:25:59,067
Speaker 4: and Dad always to say, if you find something that

513
00:25:59,107 --> 00:26:01,587
Speaker 4: you're passionate about, if you chase it, and that if

514
00:26:01,627 --> 00:26:04,147
Speaker 4: that becomes your job, you're pretty lucky. And I don't

515
00:26:04,147 --> 00:26:06,147
Speaker 4: know if enough people have that in their life. So

516
00:26:06,867 --> 00:26:08,707
Speaker 4: if I can teach my son that that, that'd be

517
00:26:08,747 --> 00:26:09,267
Speaker 4: pretty cool.

518
00:26:10,347 --> 00:26:13,307
Speaker 2: How do you how do you switch off?

519
00:26:15,587 --> 00:26:19,347
Speaker 4: Quite easy? Got almost a two year old little boy

520
00:26:19,387 --> 00:26:22,827
Speaker 4: walk in the door. He's smiling at me or he's

521
00:26:22,827 --> 00:26:24,427
Speaker 4: blowing up at me. You got to do this, Dad,

522
00:26:24,507 --> 00:26:25,427
Speaker 4: come on more?

523
00:26:27,227 --> 00:26:27,467
Speaker 5: Yeah?

524
00:26:27,507 --> 00:26:31,067
Speaker 4: And my wife like we well yeah. And my friends

525
00:26:31,107 --> 00:26:34,227
Speaker 4: like I'm a very social person, you know. We love

526
00:26:34,267 --> 00:26:37,347
Speaker 4: going in for lunched in those type of things. It's

527
00:26:37,347 --> 00:26:39,027
Speaker 4: hard to get a babysit, but we've got some great

528
00:26:39,067 --> 00:26:42,027
Speaker 4: ones here in Auckland that look after Max every time

529
00:26:42,027 --> 00:26:44,627
Speaker 4: at the time, but just spending time with family friends.

530
00:26:45,867 --> 00:26:47,987
Speaker 4: The big one for me has got the hobbies. I'd

531
00:26:48,027 --> 00:26:50,027
Speaker 4: love to play golf more. I don't do that enough,

532
00:26:50,067 --> 00:26:52,667
Speaker 4: so I shouldn't even say that anymore because I don't play.

533
00:26:53,227 --> 00:26:56,267
Speaker 4: It's like I'm lying to all the all the all

534
00:26:56,307 --> 00:27:00,547
Speaker 4: the listeners pay for a year, yea, how often do

535
00:27:00,547 --> 00:27:03,027
Speaker 4: you play with you twice in two and a half years. Yeah,

536
00:27:03,067 --> 00:27:03,867
Speaker 4: it's not very good.

537
00:27:05,267 --> 00:27:05,467
Speaker 5: Yeah.

538
00:27:05,507 --> 00:27:07,907
Speaker 4: And I love horse, Yeah, not so much the game

539
00:27:07,947 --> 00:27:08,427
Speaker 4: inside of it.

540
00:27:08,467 --> 00:27:08,907
Speaker 5: I love the.

541
00:27:10,747 --> 00:27:13,827
Speaker 4: Tactical side, the breeding side of it. Yeah, that's really

542
00:27:13,907 --> 00:27:15,147
Speaker 4: that's a great distraction for me.

543
00:27:15,507 --> 00:27:18,267
Speaker 2: All right, let's end back at the start where we

544
00:27:18,307 --> 00:27:21,347
Speaker 2: are now with a season stretching ahead of us. Yep,

545
00:27:21,387 --> 00:27:23,067
Speaker 2: I feel confident about twenty twenty five.

546
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:27,027
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. I think the biggest thing I've learned about

547
00:27:28,147 --> 00:27:33,347
Speaker 4: creating our own expectation on ourselves is yeah, it's boring,

548
00:27:33,387 --> 00:27:35,027
Speaker 4: but don't look too far ahead. The reason why I

549
00:27:35,027 --> 00:27:37,347
Speaker 4: talk about that right now is we've been in this

550
00:27:37,387 --> 00:27:40,427
Speaker 4: situation last year. I think we lost the first round

551
00:27:40,467 --> 00:27:42,987
Speaker 4: of the year, we even lost the second, and then

552
00:27:43,027 --> 00:27:44,987
Speaker 4: we went on I saw we won the second, and

553
00:27:44,987 --> 00:27:46,467
Speaker 4: then we went on a run and we won like

554
00:27:46,507 --> 00:27:48,867
Speaker 4: three or three or four in a row. And this

555
00:27:49,027 --> 00:27:52,227
Speaker 4: is our years. It's just so such a marathon, you know.

556
00:27:53,667 --> 00:27:56,267
Speaker 4: But we've been confident and confident last year. We've been

557
00:27:56,267 --> 00:28:00,027
Speaker 4: confidence since day one. But there's certainly no overconfidence there

558
00:28:00,027 --> 00:28:01,987
Speaker 4: and we're not taking anything for granted, we've got so

559
00:28:02,067 --> 00:28:04,267
Speaker 4: much work to do, but we're had a group of

560
00:28:04,267 --> 00:28:06,467
Speaker 4: players that they're all buying. You know, they all care

561
00:28:06,507 --> 00:28:09,587
Speaker 4: about this country, they care about the results. You know,

562
00:28:09,587 --> 00:28:12,147
Speaker 4: they want to play for the Warriors. They do their best.

563
00:28:12,187 --> 00:28:15,307
Speaker 4: So yeah, if we can carry that on all year

564
00:28:15,347 --> 00:28:17,627
Speaker 4: and make sure we keep putting our energy in the

565
00:28:17,707 --> 00:28:20,027
Speaker 4: right stuff, and then we should have a good season.

566
00:28:20,467 --> 00:28:23,267
Speaker 2: Last question is around the connection to your fans. Yep,

567
00:28:24,227 --> 00:28:26,747
Speaker 2: how important is that and how important are your fans

568
00:28:26,787 --> 00:28:27,107
Speaker 2: to you?

569
00:28:27,827 --> 00:28:29,907
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, getting back to the why a bit like

570
00:28:30,107 --> 00:28:33,747
Speaker 4: I'm an Australian. I came back to this club after

571
00:28:34,067 --> 00:28:36,067
Speaker 4: working here for two years ago, eight years ago, so

572
00:28:36,107 --> 00:28:39,307
Speaker 4: I had a connection here Ben like, and I didn't

573
00:28:39,307 --> 00:28:40,667
Speaker 4: want to be a head coach at an in club.

574
00:28:40,667 --> 00:28:42,907
Speaker 4: I wanted to be where I felt like I would

575
00:28:42,907 --> 00:28:45,627
Speaker 4: fit and for some reason, I feel like I fit

576
00:28:45,707 --> 00:28:49,827
Speaker 4: here and I hope that everyone feels the same. So

577
00:28:49,947 --> 00:28:52,507
Speaker 4: then coming back then my wife was about, you know,

578
00:28:52,627 --> 00:28:55,107
Speaker 4: I just want to improve people and everyone to be happy,

579
00:28:55,067 --> 00:28:57,067
Speaker 4: to create a great environment that with people can be

580
00:28:57,107 --> 00:28:59,987
Speaker 4: the best. And then for I know it, like I

581
00:29:00,027 --> 00:29:03,907
Speaker 4: want the fans to taste that success but more like

582
00:29:03,987 --> 00:29:06,267
Speaker 4: Grand finals. That's our goal, Like I can promise every

583
00:29:06,387 --> 00:29:10,787
Speaker 4: on that, but the real goal is sustained success on

584
00:29:11,227 --> 00:29:13,227
Speaker 4: the fans being proud of the way the boys play

585
00:29:13,987 --> 00:29:17,107
Speaker 4: even when we're not at our best, like and that's

586
00:29:17,187 --> 00:29:19,227
Speaker 4: I feel like last year we came thirteenth, but we

587
00:29:19,307 --> 00:29:21,947
Speaker 4: sold it out every week. There were still they still

588
00:29:21,947 --> 00:29:24,147
Speaker 4: saw effort, they still saw care, they still saw a

589
00:29:24,187 --> 00:29:26,827
Speaker 4: team that they wanted to come and support. So yeah,

590
00:29:26,867 --> 00:29:29,907
Speaker 4: they're they're part of my wire, the fans, and you

591
00:29:29,987 --> 00:29:31,587
Speaker 4: know we're taking a game to christ Church in a

592
00:29:31,587 --> 00:29:35,467
Speaker 4: couple of weeks, we go to Australia. We're so well supported,

593
00:29:35,507 --> 00:29:38,267
Speaker 4: like we go I'm not going to mention the teams.

594
00:29:38,347 --> 00:29:40,267
Speaker 4: We go to away games and we've got more fans

595
00:29:40,307 --> 00:29:43,267
Speaker 4: than them sometimes Like that's we're very proud of that

596
00:29:43,267 --> 00:29:44,787
Speaker 4: as a club and I'm very proud to be a

597
00:29:44,827 --> 00:29:46,587
Speaker 4: part of it. So they're huge for us.

Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. We'll be Andrew Webster, their head

605
00:30:01,347 --> 00:30:03,307
Speaker 2: coach of the Warriors. Great to get the chance to

606
00:30:03,307 --> 00:30:06,787
Speaker 2: spend an extended period of time with them, chance to

607
00:30:06,827 --> 00:30:09,547
Speaker 2: react to anything you heard there from Andrew Webster over

608
00:30:09,587 --> 00:30:12,187
Speaker 2: the last half an hour or so eight hundred and

609
00:30:12,227 --> 00:30:16,267
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty anything in particular that stood out pretty

610
00:30:16,267 --> 00:30:21,267
Speaker 2: impressive bloke. Right as he leaves the studio, I feel

611
00:30:21,347 --> 00:30:25,187
Speaker 2: like I could listen to Andrew Webster talk all day, Really,

612
00:30:25,227 --> 00:30:31,307
Speaker 2: Warriors fans, does twenty twenty five feel more like twenty

613
00:30:31,347 --> 00:30:35,667
Speaker 2: twenty three or twenty twenty four to you? We all

614
00:30:35,707 --> 00:30:39,227
Speaker 2: know how good twenty twenty three was last year? Not

615
00:30:39,347 --> 00:30:43,467
Speaker 2: so much. Two losses at the start, then three wins

616
00:30:43,507 --> 00:30:46,547
Speaker 2: and things were going along okay, then a draw with Manly,

617
00:30:46,547 --> 00:30:49,147
Speaker 2: but then a slump, four losses, and even though they

618
00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:52,347
Speaker 2: started to win again after that, it never really recaptured

619
00:30:52,387 --> 00:30:55,267
Speaker 2: what we saw in twenty twenty three. How does twenty

620
00:30:55,307 --> 00:30:59,787
Speaker 2: twenty five feel to you, Warriors fans? I would love

621
00:30:59,867 --> 00:31:02,227
Speaker 2: to hear from you. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty

622
00:31:02,587 --> 00:31:04,627
Speaker 2: ninet two nine two one text back with some of

623
00:31:04,667 --> 00:31:07,067
Speaker 2: your calls after this nineteen away from one on news

624
00:31:07,107 --> 00:31:07,747
Speaker 2: Talk SEB.

625
00:31:08,307 --> 00:31:12,427
Speaker 1: The Tough Questions after the weekend Sport with Jason Pyne

626
00:31:12,467 --> 00:31:16,867
Speaker 1: and GJ. Gunnerholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builders.

627
00:31:18,147 --> 00:31:20,507
Speaker 2: Six time away from one great to have an extended

628
00:31:20,547 --> 00:31:23,107
Speaker 2: interview with our webby says this text. I'm glad you've

629
00:31:23,107 --> 00:31:26,027
Speaker 2: got on a glass of water. Yeah battling, that wasn't

630
00:31:26,027 --> 00:31:28,147
Speaker 2: he But he's a great chat. Yeah, we should have

631
00:31:28,147 --> 00:31:30,347
Speaker 2: had water there at the start. We'll organize that next time.

632
00:31:30,387 --> 00:31:32,947
Speaker 2: God I Greg afternoons.

633
00:31:34,867 --> 00:31:37,987
Speaker 6: I didn't hear the full interview. I just caught the

634
00:31:37,987 --> 00:31:41,867
Speaker 6: taal end of it. But you asked a question about

635
00:31:41,907 --> 00:31:46,067
Speaker 6: how to How do I feel about the upcoming season?

636
00:31:47,187 --> 00:31:51,507
Speaker 6: I think being a Warrior supporter is the hardest. It's

637
00:31:51,507 --> 00:31:55,467
Speaker 6: the hardest team to support, but it's also the best

638
00:31:55,507 --> 00:32:02,267
Speaker 6: team to support. Like you turn up, we can we

639
00:32:02,387 --> 00:32:08,627
Speaker 6: get expecting the team to do the best, and even

640
00:32:08,667 --> 00:32:18,067
Speaker 6: though sometimes they're best and good enough, through pore handling,

641
00:32:18,307 --> 00:32:23,347
Speaker 6: bad decision making, all the rest of it. It's like players.

642
00:32:23,547 --> 00:32:28,667
Speaker 6: Players don't go out on a field to play bad.

643
00:32:29,907 --> 00:32:33,827
Speaker 6: And I think that this year it's sort of a

644
00:32:33,867 --> 00:32:41,387
Speaker 6: little bit between both seasons. The expectation still goes back

645
00:32:41,467 --> 00:32:45,987
Speaker 6: to twenty three, but you're always have it in your

646
00:32:46,027 --> 00:32:51,867
Speaker 6: mind of twenty twenty four. Now, the first game in

647
00:32:51,947 --> 00:32:57,107
Speaker 6: Las Vegas, we sort of should really just put that

648
00:32:57,187 --> 00:33:01,707
Speaker 6: to one side because foreign environment, huge travel, even though

649
00:33:01,747 --> 00:33:06,867
Speaker 6: both teams had to travel there, I think probably the

650
00:33:06,987 --> 00:33:09,707
Speaker 6: team as a group were maybe a bit overawed by

651
00:33:09,707 --> 00:33:14,747
Speaker 6: the whole experience, and then you move to game two.

652
00:33:14,787 --> 00:33:19,067
Speaker 6: In game three where they beat probably two of the

653
00:33:19,067 --> 00:33:23,867
Speaker 6: best scenes in the competition. Canber have also had losses

654
00:33:23,907 --> 00:33:27,787
Speaker 6: after they beat us. But I like to think that

655
00:33:27,907 --> 00:33:32,147
Speaker 6: this year we will finish in the top eight. I

656
00:33:32,147 --> 00:33:33,907
Speaker 6: don't think we will finish as high as we did

657
00:33:33,907 --> 00:33:40,827
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty three, but maybe fifth, and then build

658
00:33:40,907 --> 00:33:44,467
Speaker 6: on getting to those finals from there.

659
00:33:46,107 --> 00:33:48,747
Speaker 2: I love your description, Greg, the hardest team to support,

660
00:33:48,787 --> 00:33:51,467
Speaker 2: but the best team to support. You've just basically described

661
00:33:52,347 --> 00:33:55,067
Speaker 2: sports fandom. I think. I know there are a lot

662
00:33:55,107 --> 00:33:57,827
Speaker 2: of fans listening who support a variety of different teams

663
00:33:57,867 --> 00:33:59,867
Speaker 2: and a lot of codes, and look, we can't all

664
00:33:59,907 --> 00:34:03,827
Speaker 2: be you know, successful year on year on year. Hard

665
00:34:03,867 --> 00:34:06,907
Speaker 2: to support, but great to support makes the makes the

666
00:34:06,987 --> 00:34:08,867
Speaker 2: highser Well, I was going to say, heck of a

667
00:34:08,907 --> 00:34:10,547
Speaker 2: lot better. I'm sure you'd like a few more of them.

668
00:34:10,587 --> 00:34:13,747
Speaker 2: But it does make the high points quite invigorating, doesn't it.

669
00:34:15,187 --> 00:34:17,547
Speaker 6: Yeah, it does. And I always go back to the

670
00:34:18,147 --> 00:34:24,107
Speaker 6: original ketch cry for the Warriors, which was when DV

671
00:34:24,307 --> 00:34:29,547
Speaker 6: sponsored them, and basically a true Warriors van is loyal

672
00:34:29,667 --> 00:34:33,267
Speaker 6: to the bitter ends.

673
00:34:32,147 --> 00:34:35,187
Speaker 2: Yes, love it, Greg, And you sound like you are.

674
00:34:35,267 --> 00:34:37,547
Speaker 2: I love you. I love your your measured approach to

675
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:41,347
Speaker 2: all of this. I like you. I think we all

676
00:34:41,387 --> 00:34:44,907
Speaker 2: do you know, hope for a twenty twenty five that

677
00:34:45,027 --> 00:34:47,187
Speaker 2: is similar to a twenty twenty three. Yeah, I'm a

678
00:34:47,187 --> 00:34:49,547
Speaker 2: bit like you. I think twenty twenty three didn't necessarily

679
00:34:49,587 --> 00:34:51,187
Speaker 2: come out of the blue, but I think there was

680
00:34:51,187 --> 00:34:54,627
Speaker 2: a there was a degree of of surprise at how

681
00:34:54,707 --> 00:34:57,307
Speaker 2: high the Warriors finished what they were fourth, weren't they

682
00:34:57,307 --> 00:35:02,547
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three last year by comparison, extremely disappointing. Yeah,

683
00:35:02,587 --> 00:35:05,067
Speaker 2: I feel like wins over the Sea Eagles and the Roosters.

684
00:35:05,187 --> 00:35:07,907
Speaker 2: As you say, two the better sides going around are

685
00:35:07,907 --> 00:35:10,027
Speaker 2: a nice springboard Tigers tomorrow, and then I think we'll

686
00:35:10,027 --> 00:35:12,027
Speaker 2: find out a bit about the team when they take

687
00:35:12,027 --> 00:35:15,227
Speaker 2: on the Storm next weekend. Although the way the Storm

688
00:35:15,267 --> 00:35:18,027
Speaker 2: are playing, maybe you don't take it as a as

689
00:35:18,067 --> 00:35:21,827
Speaker 2: a guide then Broncos Nights Cowboys. Thanks Greg, I appreciate

690
00:35:21,867 --> 00:35:22,747
Speaker 2: your court Brent.

691
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:26,467
Speaker 7: Hello, yeah, mate, I like that last guy. I only

692
00:35:26,507 --> 00:35:28,387
Speaker 7: caught the tail end of the interview with Andrew Webster,

693
00:35:28,427 --> 00:35:31,947
Speaker 7: but I'm quite excited about the season either that two

694
00:35:31,987 --> 00:35:34,827
Speaker 7: good ones will be both at home. I think to

695
00:35:34,827 --> 00:35:38,067
Speaker 7: my night's game will be more of a see where

696
00:35:38,107 --> 00:35:41,827
Speaker 7: they're at and coming up against the red hot Tigers

697
00:35:41,827 --> 00:35:46,827
Speaker 7: side at Cameltown and they have twenty one thousand fans

698
00:35:46,907 --> 00:35:50,067
Speaker 7: parenting from the Tigers, and I just hope they don't

699
00:35:51,427 --> 00:35:55,907
Speaker 7: don't get tailed up and another thing. So I just

700
00:35:55,947 --> 00:35:59,467
Speaker 7: hope they don't miss and walk too much, because that's

701
00:36:00,507 --> 00:36:02,867
Speaker 7: losing him hasn't men too much of a disrupting for them.

702
00:36:03,107 --> 00:36:05,507
Speaker 7: But yes, I can get over the Tigers tomorrow. It

703
00:36:05,547 --> 00:36:07,427
Speaker 7: will be a really good game to see where they're at.

704
00:36:08,187 --> 00:36:10,227
Speaker 7: I think they're going by the week the following week

705
00:36:10,747 --> 00:36:12,547
Speaker 7: and then then they play the Storm. But yeah, I

706
00:36:12,587 --> 00:36:14,667
Speaker 7: just hope they can get over the Tigers tomorrow night.

707
00:36:15,067 --> 00:36:16,267
Speaker 7: I'm really looking forward to it.

708
00:36:16,747 --> 00:36:18,627
Speaker 2: Yes, I mine. I think I think you're sir right, Breann.

709
00:36:18,667 --> 00:36:20,747
Speaker 2: I think it will give us a very good gauge.

710
00:36:20,747 --> 00:36:22,507
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, the Tigers have been good, but there

711
00:36:22,507 --> 00:36:24,707
Speaker 2: are two wins have been against teams who are a

712
00:36:24,747 --> 00:36:27,507
Speaker 2: bit down on their luck. Really, I mean, they probably

713
00:36:27,627 --> 00:36:31,067
Speaker 2: don't feel as though they've been really really tested either,

714
00:36:31,107 --> 00:36:33,227
Speaker 2: although I think they've They lost their first upgame and

715
00:36:33,267 --> 00:36:35,867
Speaker 2: they ten eight at home against the Knights, but then

716
00:36:36,107 --> 00:36:39,307
Speaker 2: you know, wins in the last two weeks over the

717
00:36:39,347 --> 00:36:42,147
Speaker 2: Eels and the Dolphins, both away, which I guess is

718
00:36:42,187 --> 00:36:43,987
Speaker 2: a feather in their cap. But I reckon they'll find

719
00:36:44,027 --> 00:36:46,587
Speaker 2: out a bit about themselves tomorrow the Tigers when they

720
00:36:46,627 --> 00:36:48,587
Speaker 2: take on the Warriors. I'd imagine that they'll be interested

721
00:36:49,187 --> 00:36:51,347
Speaker 2: West Tigers fans to see how they're teams shaping up.

722
00:36:52,747 --> 00:36:54,547
Speaker 7: And I just hope that the Warriors kind of and

723
00:36:54,787 --> 00:36:57,467
Speaker 7: washing them from the start, because some saw what happened

724
00:36:57,507 --> 00:37:00,307
Speaker 7: to the Breakers when they've paid manly, they've got absolutely smashed.

725
00:37:00,747 --> 00:37:05,107
Speaker 7: And if the teams that they're playing a more favent TV,

726
00:37:05,747 --> 00:37:08,587
Speaker 7: I'll come was thinking that these rests can be a

727
00:37:08,587 --> 00:37:11,147
Speaker 7: bit masswaters and I just hope they're Warriors doing it.

728
00:37:11,187 --> 00:37:13,227
Speaker 7: Too many calls go against them, because if they two

729
00:37:13,587 --> 00:37:14,787
Speaker 7: could be a long life to them.

730
00:37:15,667 --> 00:37:18,147
Speaker 2: Indeed, Brent I hope the same, Thanks mate. The TV

731
00:37:18,307 --> 00:37:21,147
Speaker 2: tells us that the Tigers are favorites tomorrow a dollar

732
00:37:21,267 --> 00:37:25,027
Speaker 2: sixty against two thirty five. I don't think that's bad

733
00:37:25,027 --> 00:37:27,827
Speaker 2: money for the Warriors. Yes, they're two wins so far

734
00:37:27,907 --> 00:37:30,867
Speaker 2: the season, have both been at home, but they've been

735
00:37:30,907 --> 00:37:34,187
Speaker 2: against good sides. Look, I mean, I'm pretty sure I

736
00:37:34,307 --> 00:37:37,667
Speaker 2: wasn't alone in thinking when that team came back from

737
00:37:37,747 --> 00:37:40,627
Speaker 2: Vegas having put together the performance they did against the Raiders,

738
00:37:41,067 --> 00:37:43,147
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been the only one who was worried

739
00:37:43,627 --> 00:37:46,027
Speaker 2: about the arrival of the Sea Eagles, followed by the

740
00:37:46,107 --> 00:37:49,947
Speaker 2: arrival of the Roosters at Go Media Stadium in the

741
00:37:49,947 --> 00:37:52,827
Speaker 2: following two weeks. But as it turned out, we needn't

742
00:37:52,827 --> 00:37:55,907
Speaker 2: have worried. Thirty six sixteen and then fourteen six in

743
00:37:55,907 --> 00:37:57,307
Speaker 2: a bit of a grind last week. But the fact

744
00:37:57,307 --> 00:38:00,147
Speaker 2: that across those two games, just the twenty two points

745
00:38:00,387 --> 00:38:05,067
Speaker 2: conceded across both games combined compared to the thirty against

746
00:38:05,067 --> 00:38:08,147
Speaker 2: the Raiders over in Vegas, I think is cause for

747
00:38:08,907 --> 00:38:12,667
Speaker 2: major optimism. You're right about the buy as well, Brent

748
00:38:12,667 --> 00:38:14,667
Speaker 2: Iden picked up on that. So it's the Tigers tomorrow,

749
00:38:14,707 --> 00:38:17,587
Speaker 2: then the bye, and then on the afternoon of Sunday,

750
00:38:17,867 --> 00:38:23,147
Speaker 2: April the thirteenth. It's the storm away. I mean, you

751
00:38:23,187 --> 00:38:25,067
Speaker 2: look at the storm and you think, man, is anybody

752
00:38:25,107 --> 00:38:27,547
Speaker 2: touching them? Penrith Panthers have lost their last three in

753
00:38:27,547 --> 00:38:30,387
Speaker 2: a row, so they're clearly not the force of previous years.

754
00:38:30,747 --> 00:38:33,467
Speaker 2: It feels like the storm and then a bunch of teams,

755
00:38:33,667 --> 00:38:35,707
Speaker 2: and that's probably okay. Look at one team's going to

756
00:38:35,747 --> 00:38:37,987
Speaker 2: clear out like the storm, look as though they're going

757
00:38:38,027 --> 00:38:42,027
Speaker 2: to then that's probably okay. But if there's a bunch

758
00:38:42,067 --> 00:38:46,587
Speaker 2: of teams in behind them, including the Warriors, then you know,

759
00:38:46,787 --> 00:38:49,747
Speaker 2: maybe that's going to give us a good gauge. After that,

760
00:38:49,787 --> 00:38:52,627
Speaker 2: the Broncos and then the Knights. Yeah, so the storm

761
00:38:52,627 --> 00:38:55,427
Speaker 2: of the Broncos currently the top two, and the Warriors

762
00:38:55,507 --> 00:38:59,027
Speaker 2: have them after tomorrow in the next two games. So

763
00:38:59,987 --> 00:39:02,547
Speaker 2: after six rounds, seven rounds, we're going to have a

764
00:39:02,547 --> 00:39:05,387
Speaker 2: fairly good idea, aren't we. On text from Matt Andrew Webster.

765
00:39:05,427 --> 00:39:09,227
Speaker 2: Great interviews with a great head on his shoulders who

766
00:39:09,267 --> 00:39:12,747
Speaker 2: seems to care about all the right things, great combination

767
00:39:13,347 --> 00:39:15,947
Speaker 2: and great things ahead for the Warriors, I think, says

768
00:39:15,947 --> 00:39:18,427
Speaker 2: mad and from Joe enjoyed the interview with Webbe such

769
00:39:18,467 --> 00:39:20,827
Speaker 2: a positive person who wants the club to be successful.

770
00:39:20,867 --> 00:39:23,867
Speaker 2: It's his third year of this coaching tenure. He is

771
00:39:23,947 --> 00:39:26,187
Speaker 2: still the right man for the job. With the loss

772
00:39:26,187 --> 00:39:28,787
Speaker 2: of so many experienced players, it feels like twenty twenty

773
00:39:28,827 --> 00:39:32,307

774
00:39:32,347 --> 00:39:36,027
Speaker 2: like next man up attitude again. As he mentioned, can't

775
00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:39,147
Speaker 2: underestimate while Fisher Harris is brought to the club similar

776
00:39:39,187 --> 00:39:42,467

Speaker 2: Hev coming up four to one after the news that one.

785
00:40:03,027 --> 00:40:04,707
Speaker 2: I think we'll kick on because we haven't been able

786
00:40:04,707 --> 00:40:06,987
Speaker 2: to get everybody on the air to talk Warriors and

787
00:40:07,027 --> 00:40:09,627
Speaker 2: talk Andrew Webster's influence on this team. It was great

788
00:40:09,627 --> 00:40:11,027
Speaker 2: to get the chance to chat to them over such

789
00:40:11,027 --> 00:40:13,747
Speaker 2: an extended period. When I get that opportunity very often,

790
00:40:13,827 --> 00:40:15,867
Speaker 2: so great to see him in studio, so we'll take

791
00:40:15,907 --> 00:40:18,267
Speaker 2: some more of your calls after one o'clock on that.

792
00:40:18,387 --> 00:40:21,187
Speaker 2: Also between one and two, Andrew Pragnell's on the show

793
00:40:21,307 --> 00:40:24,027
Speaker 2: CEO of New Zealand Football. They are through the All

794
00:40:24,027 --> 00:40:26,427
Speaker 2: Whites to the World Cup next year, So what has

795
00:40:26,467 --> 00:40:29,547
Speaker 2: to happen between now and then to give the All

796
00:40:29,547 --> 00:40:32,027
Speaker 2: Whites the best possible preparation as head off to the

797
00:40:32,027 --> 00:40:34,827
Speaker 2: World Cup next year, not just to participate, not just

798
00:40:34,907 --> 00:40:37,627
Speaker 2: to make up the numbers, but to get out of

799
00:40:37,627 --> 00:40:40,467
Speaker 2: a group, to go further than the All Whites of

800
00:40:40,467 --> 00:40:43,067
Speaker 2: twenty ten or nineteen eighty two, to win some matches

801
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:46,947
Speaker 2: over there. For me, it's well, not straightforward, but certainly

802
00:40:46,947 --> 00:40:49,267
Speaker 2: a big plank of it is lots of games between

803
00:40:49,267 --> 00:40:52,747
Speaker 2: now when when they head off. There are five international

804
00:40:52,747 --> 00:40:56,707
Speaker 2: windows available between now and next June, two matches and each.

805
00:40:56,747 --> 00:40:59,467
Speaker 2: So be keen the heir from Andrew Pragnell whether all

806
00:40:59,547 --> 00:41:02,387
Speaker 2: five are being targeted for matches and are we going

807
00:41:02,427 --> 00:41:04,107
Speaker 2: to see the All Whites back at home? I'd love

808
00:41:04,147 --> 00:41:06,747
Speaker 2: to see a fair well match of some sort perhaps

809
00:41:06,747 --> 00:41:09,107
Speaker 2: in March of next year. So Andrew Pragnell and more

810

Speaker 2: the hottest trade Me item of twenty twenty five will close.

819
00:41:42,307 --> 00:41:45,947
Speaker 2: This is Sam Ruth's shoes that he ran the sub

820
00:41:45,987 --> 00:41:50,867
Speaker 2: Formanut Mylin. Now we spoke to dad Benruth. Was that

821
00:41:50,947 --> 00:41:52,867
Speaker 2: last week or the week before, I can't remember. They

822
00:41:52,907 --> 00:41:56,747
Speaker 2: were sent to blend into one, but we spoke to

823
00:41:56,787 --> 00:42:04,187
Speaker 2: Ben Ruth about Sam's spikes only used once the shoes

824
00:42:04,187 --> 00:42:06,667
Speaker 2: he was wearing when he ran sub four minutes for

825
00:42:06,707 --> 00:42:09,467
Speaker 2: the mile and become the youngest person in the history

826
00:42:09,507 --> 00:42:12,787
Speaker 2: of the world to do that. The spikes have been

827
00:42:12,827 --> 00:42:16,547
Speaker 2: on trade Me. Now Ben Ruth, Sam's dad has agreed

828
00:42:16,587 --> 00:42:20,867
Speaker 2: to change the closing time of the auction to two

829
00:42:20,947 --> 00:42:25,267
Speaker 2: forty this afternoon, which is just before our show closes.

830
00:42:26,387 --> 00:42:29,067
Speaker 2: So we're going to join Ben to maybe get a

831
00:42:29,107 --> 00:42:36,227
Speaker 2: final result at the moment. Sam Ruth's used spikes for

832
00:42:36,427 --> 00:42:40,067
Speaker 2: just under four minutes, use ten four hundred and eight

833
00:42:40,147 --> 00:42:43,587
Speaker 2: dollars and thirty five cents four hundred and eight dollars

834
00:42:43,627 --> 00:42:46,987
Speaker 2: thirty five, So there's still about an hour and a

835
00:42:47,027 --> 00:42:50,107
Speaker 2: half until the auction closes. If you're of the mood

836
00:42:50,227 --> 00:42:54,267
Speaker 2: to bid on a significant piece of New Zealand track

837
00:42:54,267 --> 00:42:57,427
Speaker 2: and field memorabilia, and who knows what these shoes might

838
00:42:57,467 --> 00:43:00,147
Speaker 2: be worth in the years ahead, depending on what Sam

839
00:43:00,187 --> 00:43:02,067
Speaker 2: goes on to do. And you've got to spa a

840
00:43:02,067 --> 00:43:05,507
Speaker 2: ten and a half grand line around gathering dust not

841
00:43:05,667 --> 00:43:08,427
Speaker 2: your mark for any then jump on trade me. I'm

842
00:43:08,427 --> 00:43:11,107
Speaker 2: just looking at the bid history. It was kind of

843
00:43:11,187 --> 00:43:14,467
Speaker 2: an around the six seven eight thousand dollar mark this

844
00:43:14,627 --> 00:43:18,747
Speaker 2: item up until around dinner time on Thursday, and then

845
00:43:20,067 --> 00:43:22,827
Speaker 2: a bidder came in and from what I can see,

846
00:43:22,907 --> 00:43:26,227
Speaker 2: it was their first bid and took it from eighty

847
00:43:26,347 --> 00:43:30,267
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty up to ten grand. It's like

848
00:43:30,307 --> 00:43:33,147
Speaker 2: those auctions you go to, you know, you've been to these,

849
00:43:33,507 --> 00:43:37,347
Speaker 2: you know, fundraising lunches, I'm sure or whatever, and you

850
00:43:37,387 --> 00:43:39,547
Speaker 2: know bidding's going up in increments of whatever it is,

851
00:43:39,587 --> 00:43:41,787
Speaker 2: and then somebody just you know, puts the hand of

852
00:43:41,867 --> 00:43:45,147
Speaker 2: it says ten grand. Well, that's what this bidder has

853
00:43:45,227 --> 00:43:50,347
Speaker 2: done ten grand. However, they are not the leading bidder.

854
00:43:50,587 --> 00:43:52,667
Speaker 2: Somebody's gone and I don't know how it's got to

855
00:43:52,707 --> 00:43:56,427
Speaker 2: these unusual figures ten thousand, four hundred and eight dollars

856
00:43:56,467 --> 00:43:59,227
Speaker 2: and thirty five cents for Sam Ruth's shoes. Anyway, we'll

857
00:43:59,227 --> 00:44:01,467
Speaker 2: talk to to Ben ruthan around an hour and a

858
00:44:01,467 --> 00:44:04,627
Speaker 2: half and hopefully get a final. A final tally is

859
00:44:05,147 --> 00:44:08,987
Speaker 2: they raise some money to to put towards Craig Kirkwood

860
00:44:09,027 --> 00:44:12,547
Speaker 2: and Sam Tanner, who were two instrumental figures in Sam

861
00:44:12,627 --> 00:44:16,747
Speaker 2: Ruth's development. He's running tonight as well. He's running over

862
00:44:16,787 --> 00:44:19,987
Speaker 2: in Australia. I was doing a bit of reading about

863
00:44:19,987 --> 00:44:24,987
Speaker 2: this earlier on today and it's the fifteen hundred meter

864
00:44:26,107 --> 00:44:29,267
Speaker 2: he's racing for another fifteen hundred meters world age record

865
00:44:29,307 --> 00:44:33,227
Speaker 2: tonight in Melbourne. And the best professional men's field that's

866
00:44:33,227 --> 00:44:37,467
Speaker 2: been assembled for many years. Sam is ranked second last

867
00:44:37,627 --> 00:44:40,987
Speaker 2: in the field by time, so you can just tell

868
00:44:40,987 --> 00:44:43,747
Speaker 2: the caliber of the field from that. But yeah, we'll

869
00:44:43,747 --> 00:44:46,347
Speaker 2: talk more about that in the next hour and a

870
00:44:46,347 --> 00:44:48,027
Speaker 2: half or in about an hour and a half from now.

871
00:44:48,347 --> 00:44:50,587
Speaker 2: Andrew Pragnell is on the show this hour as well.

872
00:44:50,667 --> 00:44:54,147
Speaker 2: He is the CEO of New Zealand Football. The All

873
00:44:54,187 --> 00:44:58,947
Speaker 2: Whites have safely qualified through Oceania for the expanded World

874
00:44:58,987 --> 00:45:03,507
Speaker 2: Cup next year, so that's that box ticked. How now

875
00:45:03,547 --> 00:45:07,027
Speaker 2: can they best prepare themselves for the trip to North

876
00:45:07,067 --> 00:45:10,187
Speaker 2: America next year? And one of the I guess key

877
00:45:10,227 --> 00:45:14,467
Speaker 2: ways would be games. So are there games planned? I

878
00:45:14,507 --> 00:45:17,107
Speaker 2: know there are two locked in for June, but there

879
00:45:17,147 --> 00:45:20,747
Speaker 2: are five windows between now in the World Cup ten

880
00:45:20,867 --> 00:45:24,027
Speaker 2: possible games. Three are locked in two middle of the

881
00:45:24,067 --> 00:45:26,867
Speaker 2: year and then I think it's Ukraine and the Ivory

882
00:45:26,907 --> 00:45:28,547
Speaker 2: Coast in the middle of the year in a tournament

883
00:45:28,627 --> 00:45:32,947
Speaker 2: in Canada and then Norway at the back end of

884
00:45:32,947 --> 00:45:34,667
Speaker 2: the year and one of the windows. But are there

885
00:45:34,707 --> 00:45:37,027
Speaker 2: more planned? And will they play at home they are Whites,

886
00:45:37,027 --> 00:45:39,707
Speaker 2: because I think that would be tremendous if they had

887
00:45:39,747 --> 00:45:41,507
Speaker 2: the opportunity to come back here, maybe even in the

888
00:45:41,507 --> 00:45:44,707
Speaker 2: March window before they head off and get the chance

889
00:45:44,747 --> 00:45:48,707
Speaker 2: to farewell, farewell they're fans and for fans here to

890
00:45:48,707 --> 00:45:50,307
Speaker 2: wish them all the best. I tell you what would

891
00:45:50,347 --> 00:45:52,427
Speaker 2: be great would be a home and away series against

892
00:45:52,427 --> 00:45:56,387
Speaker 2: Australia that should happen regularly anyway, but I think that'd

893
00:45:56,427 --> 00:45:58,147
Speaker 2: be a cool idea in March of next year, provided

894
00:45:58,187 --> 00:46:01,347
Speaker 2: they qualify, which it looks as though they will home

895
00:46:01,387 --> 00:46:04,867
Speaker 2: and away window in March of next year against Australia.

896
00:46:04,947 --> 00:46:08,107
Speaker 2: Make it happen. It happened just before we move on

897
00:46:08,147 --> 00:46:10,707
Speaker 2: New Zealand one hundred and seven for three batting first

898
00:46:10,707 --> 00:46:14,267
Speaker 2: against Pakistan and Napier. It's been pretty slow going for

899
00:46:14,347 --> 00:46:16,947
Speaker 2: the Black Apps, although Darrel Mitchell and Mark Chapman have

900
00:46:17,067 --> 00:46:22,467
Speaker 2: come together and steadied things slightly. In fact more than slightly.

901
00:46:22,987 --> 00:46:25,667
Speaker 2: They've done a pretty good job of putting together a

902
00:46:25,707 --> 00:46:30,387
Speaker 2: fourth wicket partnership. The third wicket fell at fifty young

903
00:46:30,547 --> 00:46:33,347
Speaker 2: Kelly on debut and Nichols all out by the time

904
00:46:33,627 --> 00:46:36,467
Speaker 2: there were fifty on the board, so this partnership unbroken

905
00:46:36,467 --> 00:46:39,387
Speaker 2: on fifty seven. Daryl Mitchell sixteen off thirty seven balls,

906
00:46:39,547 --> 00:46:41,707
Speaker 2: Mark Chapman thirty five off fifty three. So it's not

907
00:46:41,747 --> 00:46:44,387
Speaker 2: t twenty pace, but it is a one day International

908
00:46:44,427 --> 00:46:46,827
Speaker 2: and they were sentence, so we'll keep eyes on that

909
00:46:46,947 --> 00:46:51,187
Speaker 2: for you. Before one o'clock we talked, In fact right

910
00:46:51,507 --> 00:46:53,187
Speaker 2: for most of the twelve o'clock hour, we talked to

911
00:46:53,227 --> 00:46:56,747
Speaker 2: Andrew Webster, head coach of the New Zealand Warriors, and

912
00:46:56,787 --> 00:46:59,347
Speaker 2: there was a lot to unpack there. He talked about

913
00:46:59,547 --> 00:47:02,947
Speaker 2: this season, He talked about his coaching philosophy, He talked

914
00:47:02,947 --> 00:47:05,547
Speaker 2: about the influence that Ivan Cleary has had on him,

915
00:47:05,587 --> 00:47:07,547
Speaker 2: and lots of other things as well. We couldn't get

916
00:47:07,587 --> 00:47:09,707
Speaker 2: everybody on the year before one, so we are going

917
00:47:09,747 --> 00:47:11,227
Speaker 2: to keep the lines open for a little bit longer

918
00:47:11,267 --> 00:47:14,067
Speaker 2: to talk from rugby league, in particular Warriors fans. I

919
00:47:14,067 --> 00:47:15,827
Speaker 2: asked the question, and I'd be keen to hear from you.

920
00:47:16,227 --> 00:47:18,987
Speaker 2: Where the twenty twenty five and its early stages three

921
00:47:19,027 --> 00:47:23,227
Speaker 2: games in feels feels better than twenty twenty four for starters?

922
00:47:23,387 --> 00:47:25,587
Speaker 2: And does it feel like twenty twenty three? We all

923
00:47:25,627 --> 00:47:27,467
Speaker 2: know how good the Warriors were in twenty three, a

924
00:47:27,507 --> 00:47:31,667
Speaker 2: fourth placed finish, best for ages. Andrew Webster's first year

925
00:47:31,747 --> 00:47:34,467
Speaker 2: came in made a massive difference last year. It was

926
00:47:35,547 --> 00:47:39,147
Speaker 2: by comparison pretty disappointing stuff, missing the top eight by

927
00:47:39,227 --> 00:47:41,707
Speaker 2: quite some distance. So what does it feel like this

928
00:47:41,787 --> 00:47:44,627
Speaker 2: time around? How does twenty twenty five feel to you?

929
00:47:45,587 --> 00:47:49,227
Speaker 2: Game tomorrow against the West Tigers, then the bye, then Melbourne?

930
00:47:50,107 --> 00:47:51,747
Speaker 2: So how does it feel at the moment. And I'd

931
00:47:51,747 --> 00:47:55,787
Speaker 2: be interested to know as well how significant a loss

932
00:47:55,827 --> 00:47:59,507
Speaker 2: Dylan Walker is for you. He's been in the seventeen

933
00:47:59,547 --> 00:48:02,987
Speaker 2: the first three games of the year, has been granted

934
00:48:03,027 --> 00:48:06,147
Speaker 2: and earlier released to go back home, and I think, look,

935
00:48:06,547 --> 00:48:09,147
Speaker 2: before we move on, it's the right decision, the right

936
00:48:09,147 --> 00:48:13,707
Speaker 2: decision to let him go. Obviously unfortunate from the Warriors

937
00:48:14,547 --> 00:48:18,587
Speaker 2: in an on field sense, but Dylan's family are back

938
00:48:18,627 --> 00:48:20,907
Speaker 2: in Australia. They move back there about eight months ago.

939
00:48:20,987 --> 00:48:25,147
Speaker 2: He's got two young boys and you can only live

940
00:48:25,147 --> 00:48:28,747
Speaker 2: apart from your family for so long. It's got to

941
00:48:28,747 --> 00:48:31,987
Speaker 2: the point clearly where he needs to be around his

942
00:48:32,067 --> 00:48:35,507
Speaker 2: family and his sons want their dad there. So I

943
00:48:35,507 --> 00:48:38,347
Speaker 2: think it's the right decision. And as Cameron George said

944
00:48:38,427 --> 00:48:41,707
Speaker 2: during the week, this sort of thing works both ways.

945
00:48:42,347 --> 00:48:46,707
Speaker 2: There have been examples of players moving to the Warriors

946
00:48:46,707 --> 00:48:50,627
Speaker 2: and leaving their contracts with Australian clubs because of family

947
00:48:50,707 --> 00:48:53,627
Speaker 2: reasons back here in New Zealand. So I think it's

948
00:48:53,667 --> 00:48:57,107
Speaker 2: the right decision. But how big a loss is Dylan

949
00:48:57,147 --> 00:49:01,067
Speaker 2: Walker and who do you see as as the most

950
00:49:01,147 --> 00:49:05,067
Speaker 2: obvious replacement for his on field services? Eight hundred and

951
00:49:05,067 --> 00:49:06,827
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty and on the sea in a hit.

952
00:49:07,147 --> 00:49:09,467
Speaker 2: Just want to play your back Andrew Webster. I want

953
00:49:09,507 --> 00:49:11,907
Speaker 2: to ask them how confident he felt about the season

954
00:49:11,947 --> 00:49:12,227
Speaker 2: he hit.

955
00:49:13,267 --> 00:49:17,027
Speaker 4: The biggest thing I've learned about creating our own expectation

956
00:49:17,147 --> 00:49:20,147
Speaker 4: on ourselves is yeah, it's boring, but don't look too

957
00:49:20,147 --> 00:49:21,907
Speaker 4: far ahead. The reason why I talk about that right

958
00:49:21,947 --> 00:49:24,987
Speaker 4: now is we've been in this situation last year. I

959
00:49:24,987 --> 00:49:27,827
Speaker 4: think we lost the first round of the year, we

960
00:49:27,907 --> 00:49:29,667
Speaker 4: even lost the second, and then we went on I

961
00:49:29,667 --> 00:49:31,587
Speaker 4: saw sorry, we won the second and then we went

962
00:49:31,627 --> 00:49:33,187
Speaker 4: on a run and we won like three or three

963
00:49:33,227 --> 00:49:35,867
Speaker 4: or four in a row. And this is our years.

964
00:49:35,867 --> 00:49:40,147
Speaker 4: It's just so such a marathon, you know. But we've

965
00:49:40,147 --> 00:49:43,027
Speaker 4: been confident and confident last year. We've been confidence since

966
00:49:43,107 --> 00:49:46,227
Speaker 4: day one. But there's certainly no over confidence there. And

967
00:49:46,227 --> 00:49:48,347
Speaker 4: we're not taking anything for granted. We've got so much

968
00:49:48,347 --> 00:49:50,707
Speaker 4: work to do, but we're in a group of players

969
00:49:50,707 --> 00:49:52,867
Speaker 4: that they're all buying. You know, they all care about

970
00:49:53,547 --> 00:49:55,787
Speaker 4: this country, they care about the results. You know, they

971
00:49:55,907 --> 00:49:58,267
Speaker 4: want to play for the Warriors. They do their best.

972
00:49:58,267 --> 00:50:01,427
Speaker 4: So yeah, if we can carry that on all year

973
00:50:01,467 --> 00:50:03,747
Speaker 4: and make sure we keep putting our energy to the

974
00:50:03,827 --> 00:50:06,147
Speaker 4: right stuff, then we should have a good season.

975
00:50:06,507 --> 00:50:09,907
Speaker 2: Andrew Webster, talking about the season ahead on text, Paul says, Piney,

976
00:50:09,907 --> 00:50:12,067
Speaker 2: the guy's a class act who I think will win

977
00:50:12,147 --> 00:50:14,867
Speaker 2: us a premiership and saying that I did disagree, says

978
00:50:14,907 --> 00:50:18,067
Speaker 2: Paul on what he said about our kicking game and

979
00:50:18,107 --> 00:50:19,827
Speaker 2: the fact it's been good. I think there's room for

980
00:50:19,907 --> 00:50:22,787
Speaker 2: improvement there as our fifth tackle option while in the

981
00:50:22,827 --> 00:50:25,867
Speaker 2: opposition territory is a predictable chip to the corner. I'd

982
00:50:25,947 --> 00:50:28,987
Speaker 2: like to see more variation coming back the other way,

983
00:50:29,027 --> 00:50:30,987
Speaker 2: balls into the endgual. How about one of these guys

984
00:50:30,987 --> 00:50:34,027
Speaker 2: developing a high knuckle or spiral bomb. Piney, get this right,

985
00:50:34,187 --> 00:50:37,787
Speaker 2: says Paul, and we are a top sixteen tomorrow. By

986
00:50:37,827 --> 00:50:39,587
Speaker 2: the way, a four point game with the buye up.

987
00:50:39,627 --> 00:50:43,987
Speaker 2: The was thanks Paul, good stuff, Hello.

988
00:50:43,867 --> 00:50:46,907
Speaker 8: Joe, Yeah day Bilani.

989
00:50:49,107 --> 00:50:49,467
Speaker 9: PHYLM.

990
00:50:49,467 --> 00:50:51,987
Speaker 8: Walker's a loss, but he's got a big loss, beigcause

991
00:50:53,867 --> 00:50:56,507
Speaker 8: you've got Aaron Clark in now. And Aaron Clark is

992
00:50:57,627 --> 00:51:01,667
Speaker 8: very similar to Harris and very similar to PHILM.

993
00:51:01,707 --> 00:51:02,107
Speaker 6: Walker.

994
00:51:02,987 --> 00:51:06,547
Speaker 8: What Aaron Clark does as he runs a football at

995
00:51:06,587 --> 00:51:10,747
Speaker 8: the at the defense like like Dylan Waukee used to do.

996
00:51:11,227 --> 00:51:14,267
Speaker 8: But he's playing thirteen and he's on there and he

997
00:51:14,267 --> 00:51:17,987
Speaker 8: he the games I've seen him play at thirteen, he's

998
00:51:18,307 --> 00:51:20,187
Speaker 8: making a hell of a lot of tackles. He reminds

999
00:51:20,227 --> 00:51:23,907
Speaker 8: me of Kevin Campion and Michael Luck those guys. You know,

1000
00:51:23,987 --> 00:51:28,107
Speaker 8: he's a hard worker. Nothing against Dylan Walker, not he

1001
00:51:28,227 --> 00:51:30,387
Speaker 8: was playing really well, but he does the same thing

1002
00:51:30,427 --> 00:51:33,067
Speaker 8: and Clark. If you watch him, he'll run into the

1003
00:51:33,067 --> 00:51:37,227
Speaker 8: defence and what he does then when he passes to Medcalf,

1004
00:51:37,627 --> 00:51:41,467
Speaker 8: he gives Medcalf more space, which is good for Metcalf

1005
00:51:41,507 --> 00:51:45,947
Speaker 8: because then he opens up more spaces for Snell, Tavita, Harris,

1006
00:51:46,747 --> 00:51:49,387
Speaker 8: the five eight, and they will they will come into

1007
00:51:49,427 --> 00:51:51,747
Speaker 8: the game a lot more and have more more space,

1008
00:51:51,787 --> 00:51:54,787
Speaker 8: and medcalfs got a lot of speed. I sent this

1009
00:51:54,987 --> 00:52:01,227
Speaker 8: on the other day on another station that Metcalf to me,

1010
00:52:01,387 --> 00:52:03,587
Speaker 8: as long as he doesn't get in it will be

1011
00:52:03,707 --> 00:52:06,107
Speaker 8: one of the best halves in this competition in the

1012
00:52:06,147 --> 00:52:07,867
Speaker 8: next three or four years.

1013
00:52:08,027 --> 00:52:11,627
Speaker 2: Well he's got Yeah, Joe, I hope you're right, because

1014
00:52:11,667 --> 00:52:15,267
Speaker 2: because I really like the look of Luke Metcalf and

1015
00:52:15,307 --> 00:52:18,707
Speaker 2: it's big boots to fill with Seawan Johnson gone. But yeah,

1016
00:52:18,867 --> 00:52:20,427
Speaker 2: you can see the raw materials there.

1017
00:52:21,747 --> 00:52:24,347
Speaker 8: Oh, without of doubt. He's a different player to Shawn Johnson.

1018
00:52:24,507 --> 00:52:27,147
Speaker 8: I mean guys like Sewan Johnson there only come come

1019
00:52:27,187 --> 00:52:30,547
Speaker 8: along once in a blue moon, if you know what

1020
00:52:30,547 --> 00:52:34,227
Speaker 8: I mean. I mean Johnson was just unbelievable. And the

1021
00:52:34,307 --> 00:52:37,427
Speaker 8: guy that's similar to us to Johnson, who I think

1022
00:52:37,427 --> 00:52:39,587
Speaker 8: will end up five eight and will be one of

1023
00:52:39,587 --> 00:52:44,427
Speaker 8: the best five eighthss came to a picky. He's got

1024
00:52:44,467 --> 00:52:47,387
Speaker 8: all the skills. He's got speed, he's got a step,

1025
00:52:48,027 --> 00:52:52,307
Speaker 8: he's tough, he tackles well, he thinks well. He will

1026
00:52:52,427 --> 00:52:55,107
Speaker 8: end up five eight, whether it's for the Warriors, that'll

1027
00:52:55,147 --> 00:52:58,307
Speaker 8: be his best position. He's only young now, obviously, and

1028
00:52:58,707 --> 00:53:01,827
Speaker 8: yet doubt Metcalf. As long as he doesn't get injured,

1029
00:53:03,107 --> 00:53:04,707
Speaker 8: he's going to be right up here too.

1030
00:53:04,987 --> 00:53:12,667
Speaker 2: He's yeah, tain't a pick, He's yeah, wow, yeah, okay,

1031
00:53:12,867 --> 00:53:13,587
Speaker 2: without a doubt.

1032
00:53:13,707 --> 00:53:16,347
Speaker 8: You know what, you know what, pony, because I played

1033
00:53:16,387 --> 00:53:18,307
Speaker 8: five eight when I played league, and I was I

1034
00:53:18,427 --> 00:53:20,987
Speaker 8: wasn't quick, but I had a step. And this guy's

1035
00:53:20,987 --> 00:53:23,387
Speaker 8: got a step and he's quick off the mark. You

1036
00:53:23,467 --> 00:53:25,627
Speaker 8: put him at five eight and you put you give

1037
00:53:25,707 --> 00:53:28,267
Speaker 8: him a lot of ball. He watch winning runs. He's

1038
00:53:28,307 --> 00:53:30,867
Speaker 8: so dangerous. He's like two of USA shick. He's got

1039
00:53:30,867 --> 00:53:32,987
Speaker 8: that step right right at the last minute when he

1040
00:53:33,027 --> 00:53:35,547
Speaker 8: comes into guys and two guys have to tackle him.

1041
00:53:35,827 --> 00:53:37,627
Speaker 8: That's why two of us a ship's so good on

1042
00:53:37,667 --> 00:53:40,347
Speaker 8: the wing, because two guys have to tackle them because

1043
00:53:40,347 --> 00:53:43,267
Speaker 8: he steps one guy and the other guy hesitates and

1044
00:53:43,307 --> 00:53:47,107
Speaker 8: then comes across. Very rarely does one guy tackle two

1045
00:53:47,147 --> 00:53:49,547
Speaker 8: of us a shick because at the last minute he's

1046
00:53:49,587 --> 00:53:53,907
Speaker 8: got that step. And playing two pickies, that's got the

1047
00:53:53,947 --> 00:53:56,827
Speaker 8: same He's got a step and he's got great exhilaration.

1048
00:53:57,227 --> 00:54:00,107
Speaker 8: Sean Johnson had the same, very good step and then

1049
00:54:00,187 --> 00:54:04,107
Speaker 8: gone and and very hard to compromise when you're playing

1050
00:54:04,147 --> 00:54:05,627
Speaker 8: against that. Without a doubt.

1051
00:54:06,387 --> 00:54:08,187
Speaker 2: Oh okay, look I'll look out for that. I mean,

1052
00:54:08,227 --> 00:54:11,147
Speaker 2: who knows there might be a metcalf toe a picky combo.

1053
00:54:11,187 --> 00:54:13,667
Speaker 2: We say, are you happy enough with Chanelle Harris Tavita

1054
00:54:14,227 --> 00:54:15,147
Speaker 2: there in the meantime?

1055
00:54:16,347 --> 00:54:20,507
Speaker 8: Oh, without a doubt. Chanel seat is very tough, very

1056
00:54:20,627 --> 00:54:25,907
Speaker 8: very good footballer. Uh doesn't shine from anything and will

1057
00:54:25,947 --> 00:54:29,147
Speaker 8: be at the five eight as the Warriors for a while.

1058
00:54:29,947 --> 00:54:33,627
Speaker 8: But if if he gets injured or something happens, paying

1059
00:54:33,787 --> 00:54:35,787
Speaker 8: tang to a Picky could go there, go there tomorrow

1060
00:54:35,787 --> 00:54:38,227
Speaker 8: and my eyes and I think that's where tag to

1061
00:54:38,267 --> 00:54:42,507
Speaker 8: a Picky will end up. But Tavita Harris is there

1062
00:54:42,507 --> 00:54:43,467
Speaker 8: at the moment.

1063
00:54:43,307 --> 00:54:44,187
Speaker 5: And very good.

1064
00:54:44,467 --> 00:54:47,507
Speaker 8: Does everything right. Just their kicking game. They need to

1065
00:54:47,547 --> 00:54:50,227
Speaker 8: be a bit more smart around the kicking game. You

1066
00:54:50,267 --> 00:54:52,387
Speaker 8: know when they just kick the ball and fish tackle.

1067
00:54:52,467 --> 00:54:53,907
Speaker 8: Quite often they just kick it up in the air

1068
00:54:53,947 --> 00:54:56,187
Speaker 8: to the to the wingers. And when you've got wingers

1069
00:54:56,187 --> 00:54:59,747
Speaker 8: that take the ball some of these wingers do, you've

1070
00:54:59,747 --> 00:55:03,427
Speaker 8: got to you've got a very your kicks piney, you know,

1071
00:55:03,667 --> 00:55:05,627
Speaker 8: kick it along the ground like gubble kick. If you

1072
00:55:05,707 --> 00:55:10,627
Speaker 8: watch last night the Broncos half back Adam Reynolds, he

1073
00:55:10,707 --> 00:55:12,507
Speaker 8: kicked a lot along the ground and that, and it

1074
00:55:12,667 --> 00:55:15,427
Speaker 8: just makes it just makes it a little bit more difficult.

1075
00:55:15,587 --> 00:55:19,907
Speaker 8: The chances in the winger dropping the ball obviously not much,

1076
00:55:20,027 --> 00:55:22,307
Speaker 8: but it can happen because of the bounce of the ball.

1077
00:55:23,147 --> 00:55:25,187
Speaker 8: And they just got to use their smarts a little

1078
00:55:25,187 --> 00:55:27,707
Speaker 8: bit more so, just putting up a high kick to

1079
00:55:27,787 --> 00:55:30,907
Speaker 8: these guys at fall back and just going to trying

1080
00:55:30,907 --> 00:55:32,587
Speaker 8: to challenge for it, because you've got to put that

1081
00:55:32,667 --> 00:55:35,307
Speaker 8: high kick up perfect and if it goes too long,

1082
00:55:35,467 --> 00:55:38,227
Speaker 8: They have too much space. That's all I'm saying.

1083
00:55:38,667 --> 00:55:41,507
Speaker 2: No, Joe, I love your expertise. Mate, You've obviously you know,

1084
00:55:41,547 --> 00:55:43,307
Speaker 2: you've played the game, you know a lot about it.

1085
00:55:43,507 --> 00:55:44,907
Speaker 2: You've given me a bit to think about it. I'd

1086
00:55:44,947 --> 00:55:46,747
Speaker 2: never even thought of tantel picky as a as a

1087
00:55:46,787 --> 00:55:49,827
Speaker 2: five eight fall back year winger. Yeah, never thought of it.

1088
00:55:49,867 --> 00:55:51,707
Speaker 2: I'm look forward to seeing it, mate, I look forward

1089
00:55:51,707 --> 00:55:53,307
Speaker 2: to seeing it. And just on Aaron Clark, oh, I

1090
00:55:53,347 --> 00:55:54,907
Speaker 2: know you're rung to talk about initially.

1091
00:55:55,067 --> 00:55:55,267
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1092
00:55:55,347 --> 00:55:58,987
Speaker 2: Look, I've been utterly impressed with him as well. So

1093
00:55:59,027 --> 00:56:00,467
Speaker 2: you look at the team and you think, you know what,

1094
00:56:00,507 --> 00:56:02,747
Speaker 2: it's got a bit about it. It's got a bit

1095
00:56:02,787 --> 00:56:05,427
Speaker 2: about it because they can win tomorrow, go into the

1096
00:56:05,427 --> 00:56:08,547
Speaker 2: buy of the back of three straight wins. As Andrew

1097
00:56:08,547 --> 00:56:12,947
Speaker 2: Webster said, it's a marathon at AINUS Sprints, and no

1098
00:56:13,107 --> 00:56:16,307
Speaker 2: regular season is. But if they can get a win tomorrow,

1099
00:56:16,707 --> 00:56:18,027
Speaker 2: it feels more and more if they can get a

1100
00:56:18,027 --> 00:56:19,707
Speaker 2: win tomorrow, that they can just kind of it's in

1101
00:56:19,707 --> 00:56:22,147
Speaker 2: the review mirror anyway, but Vegas can be further back

1102
00:56:22,187 --> 00:56:24,427
Speaker 2: in the in the review mirror, it can almost be

1103
00:56:24,507 --> 00:56:28,107
Speaker 2: like a like a false start like a game that

1104
00:56:28,147 --> 00:56:29,987
Speaker 2: you just say, okay, well that actually you know that

1105
00:56:30,147 --> 00:56:36,427
Speaker 2: wasn't us. This is us Tigers tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

1106
00:56:36,547 --> 00:56:38,947
Speaker 2: A little bit more time to chat rugby league if

1107
00:56:38,947 --> 00:56:41,107
Speaker 2: you'd like to. We do have to get to Andrew Pragnell.

1108
00:56:41,107 --> 00:56:42,947
Speaker 2: But just done the final, but I wanted to play

1109
00:56:42,947 --> 00:56:46,347
Speaker 2: from Andrew Webster was his final comment on the fans

1110
00:56:46,347 --> 00:56:48,467
Speaker 2: of the Warriors and how important they are to the team.

1111
00:56:49,547 --> 00:56:49,747
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1112
00:56:49,747 --> 00:56:51,987
Speaker 4: Well, getting back to the wire a bit like I'm

1113
00:56:52,027 --> 00:56:56,107
Speaker 4: an Australian. I came back to this club after working

1114
00:56:56,107 --> 00:56:57,947
Speaker 4: here for two years ago, eight years ago, so I

1115
00:56:57,987 --> 00:57:01,147
Speaker 4: had a connection here then, like and I didn't want

1116
00:57:01,147 --> 00:57:02,467
Speaker 4: to be a head coach at an in club. I

1117
00:57:02,507 --> 00:57:04,347
Speaker 4: wanted to be where I felt like I would I

1118
00:57:04,347 --> 00:57:07,107
Speaker 4: would fit and for some and I feel like I

1119
00:57:07,147 --> 00:57:10,027
Speaker 4: fit here and I hope that everyone feels the same.

1120
00:57:11,427 --> 00:57:14,227
Speaker 4: So then coming back then, my wife was about, you know,

1121
00:57:14,347 --> 00:57:16,827
Speaker 4: I just want to improve people, want everyone to be happy,

1122
00:57:16,867 --> 00:57:19,147
Speaker 4: create a great environment that people can be the best.

1123
00:57:19,147 --> 00:57:22,067
Speaker 4: And then before I know it, like I want the

1124
00:57:22,107 --> 00:57:26,427
Speaker 4: fans to taste that success, but more like grand finals

1125
00:57:26,507 --> 00:57:28,547
Speaker 4: that's our goal, Like I can promise everyone that, but

1126
00:57:29,187 --> 00:57:33,627
Speaker 4: the real goal is sustained success on the fans being

1127
00:57:33,667 --> 00:57:36,267
Speaker 4: proud of the way the boys play even when we're

1128
00:57:36,267 --> 00:57:39,427
Speaker 4: not at our best, like and that's I feel like

1129
00:57:39,547 --> 00:57:41,507
Speaker 4: last year we came thirteenth, but we sold it out

1130
00:57:41,547 --> 00:57:44,307
Speaker 4: every week. There were still they still saw effort, they

1131
00:57:44,347 --> 00:57:46,307
Speaker 4: still saw care, They're still sort of team that they

1132
00:57:46,307 --> 00:57:49,267
Speaker 4: wanted to come and support. So yeah, they're they're part

1133
00:57:49,307 --> 00:57:52,187
Speaker 4: of my wide the fans and you know we're taking

1134
00:57:52,227 --> 00:57:53,947
Speaker 4: a game to christ Church in a couple of weeks.

1135
00:57:55,227 --> 00:57:58,427
Speaker 4: We go to Australia, was so well supported, like we go.

1136
00:57:58,507 --> 00:58:00,427
Speaker 4: I'm not going to mention the teams. We go to

1137
00:58:00,467 --> 00:58:02,867
Speaker 4: away games and we've got more fans in them sometimes

1138
00:58:02,907 --> 00:58:05,387
Speaker 4: like that's We're very proud of that as a club

1139
00:58:05,387 --> 00:58:07,387
Speaker 4: and I'm very proud to be a part of it.

1140
00:58:07,467 --> 00:58:09,227
Speaker 4: So they huge for us. Definitely.

1141
00:58:09,467 --> 00:58:11,627
Speaker 2: It's Andrew Webster, who we spoke to last hour. Greex's

1142
00:58:11,667 --> 00:58:13,227
Speaker 2: pint ow will just get my perspective. And on the

1143
00:58:13,467 --> 00:58:17,027
Speaker 2: Dylan Walker scenario, waited for three games into the season

1144
00:58:17,387 --> 00:58:19,827
Speaker 2: before making this decision. He was paid over the off season.

1145
00:58:19,867 --> 00:58:21,507
Speaker 2: I just think it would have been a bet to

1146
00:58:21,507 --> 00:58:23,987
Speaker 2: look for him to up stumps earlier and give the

1147
00:58:23,987 --> 00:58:25,947
Speaker 2: Warriors a bit more time to make a decision on

1148
00:58:25,987 --> 00:58:29,147
Speaker 2: whether they replace him or promote people from within. But

1149
00:58:29,147 --> 00:58:31,187
Speaker 2: he must have had a feeling from the eight months

1150
00:58:31,187 --> 00:58:33,187
Speaker 2: that his family has been in Sydney. He couldn't do it.

1151
00:58:33,427 --> 00:58:35,427
Speaker 2: That's the only thing I say, Yeah, Greg, I think

1152
00:58:35,427 --> 00:58:39,347
Speaker 2: he probably wanted it to work. Well, I'm almost certain

1153
00:58:39,347 --> 00:58:42,347
Speaker 2: that he did, and he probably thought, look, this is tough,

1154
00:58:42,387 --> 00:58:44,187
Speaker 2: but I'm going to give it a crack. I'm contracted

1155
00:58:44,187 --> 00:58:46,867
Speaker 2: to the Warriors. I want to honor that contract. I'll

1156
00:58:46,867 --> 00:58:48,587
Speaker 2: give it a go. Let's give it a go and

1157
00:58:48,587 --> 00:58:51,627
Speaker 2: see if we can make this long distance work. But well,

1158
00:58:51,707 --> 00:58:54,827
Speaker 2: anybody who's got kids will know that any time away

1159
00:58:54,867 --> 00:58:58,587
Speaker 2: from them, particularly when they're young, is well, it's impossible

1160
00:58:58,627 --> 00:59:02,307
Speaker 2: to get back for starters, and it can be very

1161
00:59:02,427 --> 00:59:05,147
Speaker 2: very difficult. Indeed, And if that part of your life's

1162
00:59:05,147 --> 00:59:07,587
Speaker 2: not going well, then I don't think you can possibly

1163
00:59:08,267 --> 00:59:12,267
Speaker 2: function to your full potential in the work part of

1164
00:59:12,267 --> 00:59:15,147
Speaker 2: your life, be it sport or otherwise. I think it's

1165
00:59:15,187 --> 00:59:18,427
Speaker 2: the right decision for Dylan Walker to go, and I

1166
00:59:18,427 --> 00:59:23,387
Speaker 2: think Aaron Clark's performances, particularly in the last two games,

1167
00:59:23,827 --> 00:59:25,827
Speaker 2: have given the Warriors comfort that actually we're going to

1168
00:59:25,867 --> 00:59:30,107
Speaker 2: be okay. We're going to be okay. News talks here

1169
00:59:30,147 --> 00:59:34,787
Speaker 2: be one twenty five quick update from McLain Park in Napier,

1170
00:59:34,787 --> 00:59:38,707
Speaker 2: where this partnership between Chapman and Mitchell continues to grow

1171
00:59:38,747 --> 00:59:41,267
Speaker 2: to the point that it's now worth ninety six unbroken

1172
00:59:41,907 --> 00:59:43,987
Speaker 2: New Zealand one forty six for three after twenty nine

1173
00:59:44,027 --> 00:59:47,107
Speaker 2: to fifty overs, Chapman fifty nine not out of sixty five,

1174
00:59:48,147 --> 00:59:52,067
Speaker 2: Mitchell a little more circumspect twenty nine unbeaten off forty five,

1175
00:59:52,107 --> 00:59:55,587
Speaker 2: but New Zealand approaching the thirty over mark one forty

1176
00:59:55,747 --> 00:59:58,587
Speaker 2: six for three, one forty six for three, So on

1177
00:59:58,667 --> 01:00:01,347
Speaker 2: target for we'd have to think something close to three

1178
01:00:01,427 --> 01:00:05,307
Speaker 2: hundred after being sent in. Not too bad, not too bad.

1179
01:00:06,347 --> 01:00:08,147
Speaker 2: It's going to talk some football next. The All Whites

1180
01:00:08,147 --> 01:00:11,467
Speaker 2: are through to the World Cup next year off the

1181
01:00:11,467 --> 01:00:14,427
Speaker 2: back of that win over New Caledonia eventually on Monday

1182
01:00:14,467 --> 01:00:16,387
Speaker 2: night at Eden Park. So how can they best be

1183
01:00:16,867 --> 01:00:20,667
Speaker 2: set up for success? New Zealand Football CEO Andrew Pregnell

1184
01:00:20,787 --> 01:00:21,867

Speaker 1: The biggest things in sports are on Weekend Sports with

1186
01:00:26,267 --> 01:00:30,387
Speaker 1: Jason Pain and GJ. Gunnerhomes New Zealand's most trusted home

1187
01:00:30,427 --> 01:00:31,427
Speaker 1: builder News Talks.

1188
01:00:31,427 --> 01:00:35,147
Speaker 11: They'd be in the fourth steps of Sumner and Rufer,

1189
01:00:35,707 --> 01:00:39,667
Speaker 11: of Turner and Herbert Off Neilson and Fissilitch of Reed

1190
01:00:39,827 --> 01:00:43,947
Speaker 11: and Smelt of Spain in nineteen eighty two, South Africa

1191
01:00:44,027 --> 01:00:48,387
Speaker 11: twenty ten and now the United States, Canada and Mexico

1192
01:00:48,907 --> 01:00:49,987
Speaker 11: twenty twenty six.

1193
01:00:50,187 --> 01:00:53,067
Speaker 2: Yes, the All Whites securing their passage to the FIFA

1194
01:00:53,147 --> 01:00:56,627
Speaker 2: World Cup next year, beating New Caledonia three nil in

1195
01:00:56,667 --> 01:01:00,427
Speaker 2: the Oceania qualifying final at Eden Park on Monday night.

1196
01:01:00,947 --> 01:01:03,867
Speaker 2: Eventually that was it was nil all after an hour.

1197
01:01:04,347 --> 01:01:06,947
Speaker 2: But I think they eventually got the job done. I

1198
01:01:06,947 --> 01:01:09,027
Speaker 2: think we all thought that they would and so it

1199
01:01:09,147 --> 01:01:11,987
Speaker 2: proved to be. But how now can the side be

1200
01:01:12,067 --> 01:01:17,507
Speaker 2: given the best preparation to succeed in North America next June.

1201
01:01:17,707 --> 01:01:20,547
Speaker 2: New Zealand football CEO Andrew Pragnell is with us to

1202
01:01:20,587 --> 01:01:23,867
Speaker 2: answer that question. Actually, before we do, Andrew, will you

1203
01:01:23,907 --> 01:01:26,867
Speaker 2: at all nervous as it was playing out on Monday

1204
01:01:26,947 --> 01:01:29,427
Speaker 2: night when it was goals for the best part of

1205
01:01:29,467 --> 01:01:29,827
Speaker 2: an hour.

1206
01:01:30,507 --> 01:01:30,947
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay.

1207
01:01:31,027 --> 01:01:33,427
Speaker 3: It was wearing one of the footbits on my wrist

1208
01:01:33,507 --> 01:01:36,187
Speaker 3: and the heart rate was going at about the same

1209
01:01:36,227 --> 01:01:39,507
Speaker 3: as a decent spot sort of run. So yes, that's

1210
01:01:39,867 --> 01:01:43,387
Speaker 3: texteen minutes were pretty tense. You know, we all know

1211
01:01:43,467 --> 01:01:46,147
Speaker 3: football is a game of type margins and anything can happen,

1212
01:01:46,227 --> 01:01:48,667
Speaker 3: so but great to see the boys get the job done.

1213
01:01:48,747 --> 01:01:52,067
Speaker 2: Absolutely well. If we look ahead now, there are five

1214
01:01:52,347 --> 01:01:54,947
Speaker 2: fee for windows between now and the World Cup in

1215
01:01:54,947 --> 01:01:57,067
Speaker 2: the middle of next year. How keen are you to

1216
01:01:57,107 --> 01:01:59,987
Speaker 2: have the All Whites play in most or all of

1217
01:02:00,027 --> 01:02:00,947
Speaker 2: those windows.

1218
01:02:01,387 --> 01:02:04,307
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll definitely be playing in every single one without

1219
01:02:04,347 --> 01:02:07,787
Speaker 3: a doubt. And qualifying he gives us more opportunity too,

1220
01:02:07,947 --> 01:02:11,947
Speaker 3: so there will be those who are beginning to qualify

1221
01:02:12,067 --> 01:02:15,627
Speaker 3: as obviously the hosts, So yeah, absolutely, and we're looking

1222
01:02:15,627 --> 01:02:18,627
Speaker 3: for you know, obviously a ranger styles, we're looking for

1223
01:02:19,187 --> 01:02:21,907
Speaker 3: a range of locations or you know, definitely targeting the

1224
01:02:21,947 --> 01:02:23,667
Speaker 3: North America in the in the area in which we've

1225
01:02:23,707 --> 01:02:24,467
Speaker 3: qualified into.

1226
01:02:25,827 --> 01:02:27,787
Speaker 5: And obviously we're looking at high quality opposition.

1227
01:02:27,867 --> 01:02:29,787
Speaker 3: We are our teams much better than we their current

1228
01:02:29,867 --> 01:02:32,067
Speaker 3: ranking and they can do things that this world cut.

1229
01:02:32,747 --> 01:02:34,827
Speaker 2: Do you think the All Whites will be an attractive

1230
01:02:34,867 --> 01:02:36,827
Speaker 2: proposition for potential opponents.

1231
01:02:37,747 --> 01:02:39,507
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've shown in the last couple of

1232
01:02:39,627 --> 01:02:42,707
Speaker 3: years as we've begun to play you know to Nazia's,

1233
01:02:42,747 --> 01:02:48,547
Speaker 3: Egypt's Guitars, US Mexicos that we are an appealing team.

1234
01:02:48,707 --> 01:02:51,147
Speaker 3: We're you know, we're one thing about Kiwi's in the

1235
01:02:51,227 --> 01:02:54,867
Speaker 3: supplies beyond the football spaces. We were used to traveling

1236
01:02:54,907 --> 01:02:57,267
Speaker 3: and going on the road and we're willing to move,

1237
01:02:57,627 --> 01:03:00,947
Speaker 3: so we're adaptable and flexible. But also people know that

1238
01:03:01,427 --> 01:03:03,587
Speaker 3: we've got four players on the Premier League clubs. They

1239
01:03:03,707 --> 01:03:05,707
Speaker 3: know we've got one of the best strikers in the

1240
01:03:05,747 --> 01:03:09,707
Speaker 3: world and we've shown it, I think in the type

1241
01:03:09,707 --> 01:03:12,987
Speaker 3: of opposition we've got, so I expect you it'll be

1242
01:03:13,027 --> 01:03:15,867
Speaker 3: predominantly top fifty opposition. But also looking at styles, and

1243
01:03:16,387 --> 01:03:21,547
Speaker 3: the draw is in December this year, and so stand

1244
01:03:21,547 --> 01:03:23,387
Speaker 3: instead of procedure for the drawers, everyone has their phones

1245
01:03:23,387 --> 01:03:27,747
Speaker 3: at hand and you're generally looking to play light for

1246
01:03:27,987 --> 01:03:30,827
Speaker 3: like opposition depending on what you get out of the drawer.

1247
01:03:30,827 --> 01:03:31,667
Speaker 5: So that'll be interesting.

1248
01:03:31,707 --> 01:03:35,107
Speaker 2: Also, of course, the majority of the windows fall before

1249
01:03:35,147 --> 01:03:36,867
Speaker 2: the draw, don't they. So I guess you can't really

1250
01:03:36,907 --> 01:03:39,427
Speaker 2: take that into account for the windows this year. But

1251
01:03:40,427 --> 01:03:42,827
Speaker 2: how does it all work, Andrew? I mean, you don't

1252
01:03:42,827 --> 01:03:45,227
Speaker 2: just pick up the phone to the CEO of another football,

1253
01:03:45,827 --> 01:03:48,787
Speaker 2: you know Federation and say hey, do you fancy your game?

1254
01:03:49,067 --> 01:03:50,467
Speaker 2: How does it all work logistically?

1255
01:03:51,627 --> 01:03:52,307
Speaker 5: As a real.

1256
01:03:52,187 --> 01:03:55,147
Speaker 3: Mixed approach, we've got believe it or not sometimes that

1257
01:03:55,147 --> 01:03:58,867
Speaker 3: it does happen. So there's there is a CEO to

1258
01:03:58,947 --> 01:04:01,387
Speaker 3: CEO and some of our match fixtures are arranged from

1259
01:04:01,507 --> 01:04:04,347
Speaker 3: letters direct from the as the General Secretary as they

1260
01:04:04,347 --> 01:04:06,667
Speaker 3: call them to the General Secretary. Some of them them

1261
01:04:06,707 --> 01:04:08,427
Speaker 3: are where we have strong.

1262
01:04:08,227 --> 01:04:10,067
Speaker 5: Relationships, particularly around Asia Pacific.

1263
01:04:10,507 --> 01:04:14,067
Speaker 3: We've got now people in our management team who have

1264
01:04:14,907 --> 01:04:17,907
Speaker 3: strong work relationships around that sort of particularly in that

1265
01:04:17,947 --> 01:04:22,387
Speaker 3: Pacific room space AFC and conk V and then we've

1266
01:04:22,427 --> 01:04:24,147
Speaker 3: got manch agents as well, so.

1267
01:04:26,147 --> 01:04:27,387
Speaker 5: You shid a real range.

1268
01:04:27,147 --> 01:04:29,347
Speaker 3: Of match agents and it's a bit like sometimes you

1269
01:04:29,387 --> 01:04:32,307
Speaker 3: do them with car dealer type characters and other times

1270
01:04:32,347 --> 01:04:35,987
Speaker 3: you're no disrespect to cardialists. But you know there's a

1271
01:04:36,027 --> 01:04:40,067
Speaker 3: there's a real array of people in there and so yeah,

1272
01:04:40,587 --> 01:04:42,707
Speaker 3: there's a whole different message. But I expect that we'll

1273
01:04:42,747 --> 01:04:44,547
Speaker 3: be rereaching out pretty much.

1274
01:04:44,387 --> 01:04:47,067
Speaker 5: The night of the drawer to help organize opposition.

1275
01:04:47,707 --> 01:04:50,427
Speaker 2: How likely or not is it that we'll see the

1276
01:04:50,427 --> 01:04:53,147
Speaker 2: all Whites at home again before the world cut.

1277
01:04:54,107 --> 01:04:54,867
Speaker 5: There's probable.

1278
01:04:54,907 --> 01:04:59,667
Speaker 3: I mean, it's certainly performance has to take the paramount

1279
01:04:59,667 --> 01:05:03,387
Speaker 3: consideration here and I think that, you know, if before

1280
01:05:03,387 --> 01:05:06,747
Speaker 3: the World cut we get games and locations that would

1281
01:05:06,747 --> 01:05:09,467
Speaker 3: best performance outside in New Zealand, that should be the priori.

1282
01:05:09,507 --> 01:05:10,827
Speaker 3: I think kiwis want to see us when.

1283
01:05:11,147 --> 01:05:11,987
Speaker 5: At this World Cup.

1284
01:05:12,267 --> 01:05:15,587
Speaker 3: Having said that, you know, we've really put a huge

1285
01:05:15,587 --> 01:05:18,747
Speaker 3: effort over the last few years into bringing both teams home,

1286
01:05:18,827 --> 01:05:21,747
Speaker 3: playing at home every single year, building a brand of

1287
01:05:21,747 --> 01:05:24,507
Speaker 3: the teams and it's paying off. So we're working on

1288
01:05:24,947 --> 01:05:26,987
Speaker 3: some factures that I think I've said, I'm pretty keen

1289
01:05:27,027 --> 01:05:30,587
Speaker 3: to bring them home this year again. I think there's

1290
01:05:30,627 --> 01:05:33,867
Speaker 3: a real growing bars in New Zealand around this team

1291
01:05:34,107 --> 01:05:36,427
Speaker 3: and so yeah, very keen to bring home in at

1292
01:05:36,507 --> 01:05:39,427
Speaker 3: least once this year and then next year. Performance in

1293
01:05:39,427 --> 01:05:42,227
Speaker 3: the draw will will drive those but certainly if we could.

1294
01:05:42,027 --> 01:05:44,747
Speaker 5: We would bring them home again before it should be lovely.

1295
01:05:44,987 --> 01:05:47,467
Speaker 2: What about a home and away series against Australia.

1296
01:05:48,227 --> 01:05:51,667
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think we've always pursued those. We've

1297
01:05:51,707 --> 01:05:54,147
Speaker 3: had We've had quite a few of us in the

1298
01:05:54,147 --> 01:05:56,947
Speaker 3: furn site. We managed to you know, and they found

1299
01:05:56,947 --> 01:06:00,987
Speaker 3: their soccer rashes and someone's head. We managed to dig

1300
01:06:00,987 --> 01:06:03,267
Speaker 3: both out and play them. We played the home and

1301
01:06:03,267 --> 01:06:07,387
Speaker 3: away series and twenty twenty one, so certainly.

1302
01:06:07,107 --> 01:06:07,947
Speaker 2: Very very keen on that.

1303
01:06:08,227 --> 01:06:11,587
Speaker 3: We've obviously the relationship with Football Australia is very very strong.

1304
01:06:11,907 --> 01:06:14,947
Speaker 3: It's probably strategically one of our most important relationships sitting

1305
01:06:14,987 --> 01:06:18,627
Speaker 3: in different confederations. I know they've been so yeah, we

1306
01:06:18,907 --> 01:06:22,027
Speaker 3: keep seeing that. Their challenge is that the Asian Football

1307
01:06:22,027 --> 01:06:26,147
Speaker 3: Confederation World Cup qualifying process is so long. But they've

1308
01:06:26,187 --> 01:06:29,707
Speaker 3: just had a great wind, you know, happy for them

1309
01:06:29,987 --> 01:06:32,707
Speaker 3: two wins. It looks like they're high in their group,

1310
01:06:32,747 --> 01:06:35,107
Speaker 3: so I think that makes it more likely. So you

1311
01:06:35,427 --> 01:06:38,187
Speaker 3: will be in dialogue with them over coming weeks for sure.

1312
01:06:38,307 --> 01:06:41,187
Speaker 2: All right, look forward to that. How strong a feeling, Andrew,

1313
01:06:41,187 --> 01:06:43,267
Speaker 2: do you get from the players and the coaching staff

1314
01:06:43,267 --> 01:06:46,027
Speaker 2: that they want to play well at the World Cup,

1315
01:06:46,067 --> 01:06:48,307
Speaker 2: win games at the World Cup, not just be there

1316
01:06:48,347 --> 01:06:49,667
Speaker 2: to make up the numbers.

1317
01:06:50,187 --> 01:06:53,267
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, is they know what they're capable of.

1318
01:06:54,627 --> 01:06:59,227
Speaker 3: They absolutely want to break new ground. Everyone remembers twenty ten,

1319
01:06:59,627 --> 01:07:01,987
Speaker 3: well it was it was phenomenal time for the game,

1320
01:07:02,067 --> 01:07:06,347
Speaker 3: and but look, this is the greatest group of talent

1321
01:07:06,387 --> 01:07:11,107
Speaker 3: we've ever had right now, and they definitely. Can you

1322
01:07:11,107 --> 01:07:14,147
Speaker 3: know they're on the verge of a breakout performance and

1323
01:07:14,187 --> 01:07:15,467
Speaker 3: they're so young as well.

1324
01:07:16,227 --> 01:07:18,707
Speaker 5: I think the exciting thing is obviously our focus will

1325
01:07:18,747 --> 01:07:19,987
Speaker 5: be squarely on twenty.

1326
01:07:19,667 --> 01:07:22,747
Speaker 3: Six, but this is a squad who could be pretty

1327
01:07:22,827 --> 01:07:24,867
Speaker 3: much carry right through to twenty.

1328
01:07:24,667 --> 01:07:26,587
Speaker 5: Thirty as well.

1329
01:07:26,667 --> 01:07:29,427
Speaker 3: So not only you know twenty six is first and

1330
01:07:29,467 --> 01:07:32,667
Speaker 3: foremost the focus, but this could be a group that

1331
01:07:32,787 --> 01:07:35,907
Speaker 3: really carries on and take takes the game to new heights.

1332
01:07:36,187 --> 01:07:38,987
Speaker 2: How big a financial boost is World Cup qualification for

1333
01:07:39,067 --> 01:07:39,947
Speaker 2: New Zealand football?

1334
01:07:40,827 --> 01:07:44,507
Speaker 3: It's really significant. Look, I think we've come a long way.

1335
01:07:44,867 --> 01:07:49,867
Speaker 3: Those of your listeners who are followed the national body

1336
01:07:49,907 --> 01:07:52,307
Speaker 3: over the decades will remember, as you know, it used

1337
01:07:52,307 --> 01:07:55,067
Speaker 3: to be a time when there was very much to

1338
01:07:55,107 --> 01:07:59,707
Speaker 3: burn bus type organization and pretty regular financial trouble. We've

1339
01:07:59,747 --> 01:08:02,187
Speaker 3: moved from that. E said, if we if you know

1340
01:08:02,267 --> 01:08:05,587
Speaker 3: I had a disastrous not on Monday and things had

1341
01:08:05,707 --> 01:08:08,267
Speaker 3: gone wrong, we're still gonna be solent. We were gonna

1342
01:08:08,587 --> 01:08:11,547
Speaker 3: there's gonna be real challenges, but we would have pushed on.

1343
01:08:11,587 --> 01:08:14,267
Speaker 3: But this is this is a material boost. It allows

1344
01:08:14,347 --> 01:08:16,787
Speaker 3: us to keep interesting down into our federations, more and

1345
01:08:16,787 --> 01:08:17,547
Speaker 3: more money, more and.

1346
01:08:17,467 --> 01:08:19,547
Speaker 5: More resources into the community game.

1347
01:08:19,747 --> 01:08:22,587
Speaker 3: It allows us to keep keep running and maintaining our

1348
01:08:22,667 --> 01:08:26,827
Speaker 3: nine international teams who are around the world constantly. Uh,

1349
01:08:26,947 --> 01:08:28,667
Speaker 3: and it also has us have a closer look at

1350
01:08:28,707 --> 01:08:32,027
Speaker 3: our domestic competitions too. So you know, the mad some

1351
01:08:32,027 --> 01:08:35,067
Speaker 3: big format changes through COVID, but I think there's some

1352
01:08:35,107 --> 01:08:37,867
Speaker 3: excitement to try and keep those growing, expanding from our

1353
01:08:38,307 --> 01:08:40,547
Speaker 3: from our clubs to participate in them. So yeah, it's

1354
01:08:40,627 --> 01:08:43,147
Speaker 3: it's really big. The game's growing and it needs more

1355
01:08:43,147 --> 01:08:47,827
Speaker 3: resource to sustain its growth, so it comes. It's very timely,

1356
01:08:47,907 --> 01:08:48,547
Speaker 3: let's put it that way.

1357
01:08:48,547 --> 01:08:50,587
Speaker 2: Well, I can understand why the heart rate was a

1358
01:08:50,027 --> 01:08:52,747
Speaker 2: but on the on the high side at nil or

1359
01:08:52,787 --> 01:08:54,627
Speaker 2: when Chris Wood went off Andrew.

1360
01:08:54,907 --> 01:08:57,067
Speaker 5: Yes, exactly, Yeah, yeah, no, there was.

1361
01:08:57,867 --> 01:09:00,107
Speaker 3: I think myself and the CFO we're looking at each

1362
01:09:00,147 --> 01:09:04,107
Speaker 3: other aware of the consequences and you.

1363
01:09:04,067 --> 01:09:05,107
Speaker 5: Know, it's just it's great.

1364
01:09:05,147 --> 01:09:08,027
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously we would have been disastrous not to

1365
01:09:08,027 --> 01:09:12,467
Speaker 3: have gone through, but the team is, the team has

1366
01:09:12,467 --> 01:09:15,827
Speaker 3: played well and yeah, and some exciting fixtures coming up.

1367
01:09:15,987 --> 01:09:18,027
Speaker 2: Absolutely, just before you go, where are we with the

1368
01:09:18,027 --> 01:09:21,587
Speaker 2: appointment of a new permanent football Ferns coach? Any progress there?

1369
01:09:22,147 --> 01:09:24,907
Speaker 3: It's gone to market the team of leaving this weekend.

1370
01:09:25,027 --> 01:09:27,387
Speaker 3: Xc J only's tapai. Just keep them out for those games,

1371
01:09:28,147 --> 01:09:32,907
Speaker 3: in particular the international match, a match that will be

1372
01:09:32,907 --> 01:09:37,347
Speaker 3: played in broadcast, so we should have it's gone to market.

1373
01:09:37,867 --> 01:09:41,067
Speaker 3: Be just closing and I believe we'll be interviewing for

1374
01:09:41,227 --> 01:09:45,147
Speaker 3: over April May. We're looking to a point sometime around June.

1375

Speaker 2: Good stuff, good update, Hey, Andrew bar I'm glad that

1384
01:10:06,627 --> 01:10:08,987
Speaker 2: next year. Steve on Texas Jason, the All Whites getting

1385
01:10:08,987 --> 01:10:11,347
Speaker 2: to the World Cup should be cherished, but it's not

1386
01:10:11,387 --> 01:10:13,667
Speaker 2: as difficult as it was in previous years and will

1387
01:10:13,667 --> 01:10:15,747
Speaker 2: become expected in future. Is when we only have to

1388
01:10:15,787 --> 01:10:19,867
Speaker 2: beat the likes of Fiji, Vanowartou, etc. Yep, I've seen

1389
01:10:19,907 --> 01:10:25,227
Speaker 2: this narrative quite a lot actually before the game's last

1390
01:10:25,227 --> 01:10:29,467
Speaker 2: weekend and also in the time since. And I guess

1391
01:10:29,467 --> 01:10:31,867
Speaker 2: my response to it is that it's not up to

1392
01:10:31,907 --> 01:10:35,187
Speaker 2: the All Whites or New Zealand football to determine the

1393
01:10:35,227 --> 01:10:39,467
Speaker 2: path to a World Cup. All they can do is

1394
01:10:39,907 --> 01:10:43,587
Speaker 2: play what is in front of them. And the expanded

1395
01:10:43,587 --> 01:10:48,667
Speaker 2: World Cup, absolutely, Steve, absolutely makes it much more straightforward

1396
01:10:49,107 --> 01:10:51,147
Speaker 2: to get to a World Cup than has been the

1397
01:10:51,187 --> 01:10:55,307
Speaker 2: case previously. We know twenty ten the intercontinental playoff with

1398
01:10:55,427 --> 01:10:58,627
Speaker 2: bah Rain, what a what a moment to cherish for

1399
01:10:58,667 --> 01:11:01,467
Speaker 2: New Zealand sports fans, but that was a bridge too

1400
01:11:01,547 --> 01:11:05,347
Speaker 2: far four years later when we couldn't care get past Mexico.

1401
01:11:05,707 --> 01:11:08,267
Speaker 2: Four years up that we couldn't get past Peru both

1402
01:11:08,267 --> 01:11:10,867
Speaker 2: of those ties home and away, and then in a

1403
01:11:10,907 --> 01:11:14,187
Speaker 2: one off game against Costa Rica last time due to

1404
01:11:14,547 --> 01:11:18,427
Speaker 2: COVID restrictions, etc. We were beaten one knillonce ure. I

1405
01:11:18,467 --> 01:11:20,067
Speaker 2: think we probably should have won that game, but that's

1406
01:11:20,067 --> 01:11:23,187
Speaker 2: a different story. So it has been too difficult for

1407
01:11:23,227 --> 01:11:26,347
Speaker 2: the last three iterations of the World Cup. The expanded

1408
01:11:26,387 --> 01:11:31,147
Speaker 2: forty eight team tournament opens up an automatic spot for Oceania,

1409
01:11:31,907 --> 01:11:34,627
Speaker 2: and you're right, Steve, I think we should expect new

1410
01:11:34,707 --> 01:11:39,387
Speaker 2: Zealand to win that each time, given the far greater

1411
01:11:40,227 --> 01:11:45,267
Speaker 2: level of player at our disposal compared to those in

1412
01:11:45,307 --> 01:11:49,307
Speaker 2: the Pacific Islands. What they have now though is a

1413
01:11:49,347 --> 01:11:52,987
Speaker 2: carrot of their own, because New Caledonia now have a

1414
01:11:53,027 --> 01:11:54,787
Speaker 2: second crack at it. I thought they were very good

1415
01:11:54,827 --> 01:11:57,547
Speaker 2: the other night, just quietly, I thought they were very good.

1416
01:11:59,347 --> 01:12:02,387
Speaker 2: But even in defeat, they now go into a playoff

1417
01:12:02,707 --> 01:12:07,347
Speaker 2: tournament early in twenty twenty six against other teams who

1418
01:12:07,427 --> 01:12:11,307
Speaker 2: haven't qualified automatically from other confederations. I think all other

1419
01:12:11,347 --> 01:12:14,867
Speaker 2: confederations apart from YUEFA. It's a sixteen tournament, two more

1420
01:12:14,867 --> 01:12:17,867
Speaker 2: spots up for grab, so straight away New Caledonia have

1421
01:12:17,947 --> 01:12:23,227
Speaker 2: gone further than they ever have before. So there is

1422
01:12:23,227 --> 01:12:25,707
Speaker 2: that carrot there. And I've heard it also said, oh

1423
01:12:25,747 --> 01:12:28,867
Speaker 2: we should join Asia as Australia did. Yes, that would

1424
01:12:28,907 --> 01:12:32,507
Speaker 2: improve our football absolutely, it would would play much tougher

1425
01:12:32,547 --> 01:12:35,907
Speaker 2: teams on a more regular basis. But there's absolutely no

1426
01:12:36,787 --> 01:12:41,867
Speaker 2: incentive now for New Zealand to leve Oceannia, not in

1427
01:12:41,947 --> 01:12:45,067
Speaker 2: terms of World Cups anyway, because the path is a

1428
01:12:45,107 --> 01:12:49,307
Speaker 2: lot less challenging. Yes, we'd all like to see New

1429
01:12:49,427 --> 01:12:52,427
Speaker 2: Zealand play the likes of Australia, Japan, South Korea. Asian

1430
01:12:52,507 --> 01:12:57,587
Speaker 2: teams like that in World Cup qualifiers. But as I say,

1431
01:12:57,707 --> 01:13:02,387
Speaker 2: the motivation just isn't there anymore because the World Cup

1432
01:13:02,387 --> 01:13:08,067
Speaker 2: path is so much less and come, isn't it anyway?

1433
01:13:08,147 --> 01:13:10,747
Speaker 2: It's a conversation for another day. I think nineteen away

1434
01:13:10,787 --> 01:13:13,787
Speaker 2: from two one sixty four for three New Zealand and

1435
01:13:13,827 --> 01:13:16,747
Speaker 2: the thirty second over Mark Chapman going along very nicely,

1436
01:13:16,787 --> 01:13:19,707
Speaker 2: seventy three unbeaten off seventy five, Dalel Mitchell playing a

1437
01:13:19,747 --> 01:13:23,067
Speaker 2: nice supporting role. He's unbeaten on thirty three coming towards

1438
01:13:23,067 --> 01:13:24,947
Speaker 2: the end of the thirty second over New Zealand one

1439
01:13:25,067 --> 01:13:27,027
Speaker 2: sixty four for three. So they've picked it up over

1440
01:13:27,067 --> 01:13:30,827
Speaker 2: five runs but over and looking looking good for a

1441
01:13:30,907 --> 01:13:33,827
Speaker 2: decent total. Batting first against Pakistan and Napien. We'll head

1442
01:13:33,827 --> 01:13:35,947
Speaker 2: across the Tasman when we come back. A regular catch

1443
01:13:35,987 --> 01:13:38,227
Speaker 2: up with our Australian correspondent Adam Peacock.

1444
01:13:38,587 --> 01:13:41,187
Speaker 1: Don't get caught off side Call eight hundred eighty ten

1445
01:13:41,227 --> 01:13:45,547
Speaker 1: eighty Weekends for Us with Jason Pain and GJ. Gunnerhomes

1446
01:13:45,747 --> 01:13:49,027
Speaker 1: New Zealand's most trusted home builder, News talksb.

1447
01:13:49,467 --> 01:13:51,507
Speaker 2: Weekend Sport bang on one forty five. Time to catch

1448
01:13:51,547 --> 01:13:54,707
Speaker 2: up with our Australian correspondent, Adam Peacock. You're a Manly fan,

1449
01:13:54,747 --> 01:13:58,467
Speaker 2: of course, Adam Daily Cherry Evans is leaving the Sea Eagles.

1450
01:13:58,467 --> 01:13:59,707
Speaker 2: What's the background to all of this?

1451
01:14:01,107 --> 01:14:05,467
Speaker 10: Oh goodness, whiney, hello, taga weed. One of the weirdest

1452
01:14:05,507 --> 01:14:08,107
Speaker 10: stories I think I've ever scene in any sport is

1453
01:14:08,147 --> 01:14:10,747
Speaker 10: that Daily Cherry Evans went on television on Monday night

1454
01:14:11,147 --> 01:14:14,027
Speaker 10: and said I don't know if I'm going to play

1455
01:14:14,107 --> 01:14:17,747
Speaker 10: next year or retire, but what I do know is

1456
01:14:18,387 --> 01:14:21,827
Speaker 10: I won't be at Manley. But he didn't say that

1457
01:14:22,187 --> 01:14:24,827
Speaker 10: the real, an actual reason why he didn't want to

1458
01:14:24,827 --> 01:14:27,987
Speaker 10: play at Manley, and everyone's just then jumped the conclusions.

1459
01:14:28,307 --> 01:14:29,547
Speaker 5: And the weird thing is with Daily, I.

1460
01:14:29,507 --> 01:14:32,667
Speaker 10: Don't think he computed it too well. He goes, I

1461
01:14:32,707 --> 01:14:34,867
Speaker 10: just wanted to knock off the speculation about where I'd

1462
01:14:34,907 --> 01:14:37,107
Speaker 10: be in twenty twenty six, so I'll come out and

1463
01:14:37,107 --> 01:14:40,227
Speaker 10: say I'm not playing at Manly. Well that's just now kickstarted.

1464
01:14:40,387 --> 01:14:43,107
Speaker 10: Where's he going to play? What was the bloout with Manly?

1465
01:14:43,427 --> 01:14:46,667
Speaker 10: We get the Friday or today Saturday and there's still

1466
01:14:46,827 --> 01:14:49,907
Speaker 10: no absolute clarity out of what exactly went down there

1467
01:14:49,947 --> 01:14:53,747
Speaker 10: behind the four walls, all inside the four walls at Manly.

1468
01:14:54,027 --> 01:14:56,307
Speaker 10: It's just a weird, old story. But apparently he's going

1469
01:14:56,307 --> 01:14:58,067
Speaker 10: to play tomorrow and he'll probably rip it up against

1470
01:14:58,067 --> 01:14:59,707
Speaker 10: Paramatta and play well Meling Gales.

1471
01:15:01,507 --> 01:15:05,147
Speaker 2: Where would he go? And okay, let's break this down

1472
01:15:05,187 --> 01:15:08,987
Speaker 2: into parts. How strong a possibility that he retires at

1473
01:15:09,027 --> 01:15:10,947
Speaker 2: the end of this year or is that really not

1474
01:15:11,107 --> 01:15:13,307
Speaker 2: on the cards?

1475
01:15:12,427 --> 01:15:17,267
Speaker 10: I think hearing everything that Dailey has said this week

1476
01:15:17,267 --> 01:15:19,987
Speaker 10: and all the commentary around it since, and hearing Tony Mestrov,

1477
01:15:20,067 --> 01:15:23,987
Speaker 10: the Manley CEO speak, and a few others with maybe

1478
01:15:23,987 --> 01:15:26,307
Speaker 10: a little bit of authority to speak about what's going on,

1479
01:15:26,987 --> 01:15:30,587
Speaker 10: it's almost a case of it's a complete mystery what

1480
01:15:30,627 --> 01:15:32,387
Speaker 10: he's going to do, whether or not he plays on

1481
01:15:32,387 --> 01:15:35,907
Speaker 10: on it's just one fact he's there that it's not

1482
01:15:35,947 --> 01:15:38,307
Speaker 10: going to be a Manly because it's quite obvious that

1483
01:15:38,347 --> 01:15:41,627
Speaker 10: he's had he's had a disagreement or he feels disrespected,

1484
01:15:41,667 --> 01:15:44,387
Speaker 10: but he doesn't feel disrespected enough to disrespect the club

1485
01:15:44,667 --> 01:15:49,027
Speaker 10: in public. But is just it's flat out weird and

1486
01:15:49,267 --> 01:15:52,027
Speaker 10: Manly probably could have handled the whole thing better. They

1487
01:15:52,067 --> 01:15:54,067
Speaker 10: said that they went along with Daily's wishes and saying

1488
01:15:54,107 --> 01:15:56,627
Speaker 10: they didn't want to talk about contracts last November December,

1489
01:15:56,667 --> 01:15:59,747
Speaker 10: that they were reluctant to offer a two year deal anyway, whatever.

1490
01:16:00,027 --> 01:16:03,107
Speaker 10: I think Rooster's bulldog of Dolphins for the three that

1491
01:16:03,147 --> 01:16:06,987
Speaker 10: have emerged, is the three most likely if Daily to

1492
01:16:07,067 --> 01:16:09,947
Speaker 10: go on, and I dare say that the Roosters would

1493
01:16:09,987 --> 01:16:11,147
Speaker 10: be favored among those.

1494
01:16:11,187 --> 01:16:13,147
Speaker 2: Trayer how old Daily Cherry Evans?

1495
01:16:13,227 --> 01:16:13,747
Speaker 4: Is he what you be?

1496
01:16:13,787 --> 01:16:14,707
Speaker 2: Thirty six? Wouldn't he?

1497
01:16:15,227 --> 01:16:19,027
Speaker 10: Yeah, thirty six? He's stealing great Nick. He's the ultimate professional.

1498
01:16:19,067 --> 01:16:22,467
Speaker 10: He's in such great nick. He hasn't had a major

1499
01:16:22,867 --> 01:16:26,547
Speaker 10: injury like he doesn't have Oh jeez, he's got to

1500
01:16:26,627 --> 01:16:28,987
Speaker 10: be worried about his knees or I mean, the only

1501
01:16:29,027 --> 01:16:31,187
Speaker 10: thing that popped up really in recent times is that

1502
01:16:31,267 --> 01:16:34,027
Speaker 10: back spasm he had against the Warriors a couple of

1503
01:16:34,027 --> 01:16:36,707
Speaker 10: weeks ago, And I'm like, I've that backspasms and I

1504
01:16:36,747 --> 01:16:40,147
Speaker 10: know that they're masking something more sinister, But hopefully it

1505
01:16:40,187 --> 01:16:42,147
Speaker 10: was just a one off with Daily and there's no

1506
01:16:42,267 --> 01:16:46,227
Speaker 10: disc problems or issues with his lowest spine, which can

1507
01:16:46,347 --> 01:16:49,507
Speaker 10: happen at his age, especially with the impacts that he suffered.

1508
01:16:49,507 --> 01:16:52,507
Speaker 10: But no, he's in for a thirty six year old.

1509
01:16:52,547 --> 01:16:53,507
Speaker 9: He's as good.

1510
01:16:53,347 --> 01:16:55,267
Speaker 10: As nick as possible because I just play the amount

1511
01:16:55,267 --> 01:16:56,787
Speaker 10: of regular games as he has.

1512
01:16:56,987 --> 01:16:59,827
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll track this story with interest. As you say,

1513
01:16:59,827 --> 01:17:02,187
Speaker 2: he'll probably help the Seagulls tear it up against the

1514
01:17:02,227 --> 01:17:06,267
Speaker 2: Eels tomorrow. The round started with another loss to the

1515
01:17:06,387 --> 01:17:09,147
Speaker 2: Penrith Panthers. That is three in a row for the

1516
01:17:09,187 --> 01:17:14,107
Speaker 2: three time raining in URL premiers. Are they human after all?

1517
01:17:14,107 --> 01:17:14,667
Speaker 2: The Panthers?

1518
01:17:15,427 --> 01:17:15,827
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1519
01:17:15,907 --> 01:17:19,507
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's the assumption that everyone's made. Now, I haven't Cleary.

1520
01:17:21,347 --> 01:17:23,147
Speaker 10: He's such a good coach and he's starts a good

1521
01:17:23,187 --> 01:17:26,907
Speaker 10: man manager. He went in and said, judges properly on that,

1522
01:17:27,107 --> 01:17:29,427
Speaker 10: with the fact that we've been shipped away chips all

1523
01:17:29,427 --> 01:17:31,547
Speaker 10: over our best players or two or three of them

1524
01:17:31,627 --> 01:17:34,707
Speaker 10: leading up to each success, judges on that when we

1525
01:17:34,747 --> 01:17:38,427
Speaker 10: actually play the way we know we can play, i e.

1526
01:17:38,587 --> 01:17:41,747
Speaker 10: Control possession and control teams without the ball with their

1527
01:17:41,827 --> 01:17:44,707
Speaker 10: kick chase and their defensive pressure. And it's just a

1528
01:17:44,707 --> 01:17:48,427
Speaker 10: bit loose at the moment. Now, I mean, what is

1529
01:17:48,467 --> 01:17:49,547
Speaker 10: a chicken egg is it?

1530
01:17:49,587 --> 01:17:50,187
Speaker 5: Is it loose?

1531
01:17:50,227 --> 01:17:52,907
Speaker 10: Because they have lost all these players and title cogs

1532
01:17:52,907 --> 01:17:54,707
Speaker 10: and their energy and all of those things. Or is

1533
01:17:54,747 --> 01:17:59,027
Speaker 10: it by virtually the fact that, yeah, they're taking a

1534
01:17:59,787 --> 01:18:01,827
Speaker 10: few more games than usual for the will to start

1535
01:18:01,867 --> 01:18:03,747
Speaker 10: turning for them because of all the effort that's gone

1536
01:18:03,787 --> 01:18:05,747
Speaker 10: in in the last four years for the players that

1537
01:18:05,787 --> 01:18:08,467
Speaker 10: are still there to try and do it all over again. Look,

1538
01:18:09,827 --> 01:18:11,907
Speaker 10: even if they missed the finals at won't Sully, what

1539
01:18:12,267 --> 01:18:14,427
Speaker 10: Ivan Claire is as a coach, what Nathan Cleaire is

1540
01:18:14,547 --> 01:18:16,667
Speaker 10: a player, and what that club is is a development club.

1541
01:18:16,667 --> 01:18:19,747
Speaker 10: It's just phenomenal what they've been able to do that. Eventually,

1542
01:18:19,867 --> 01:18:23,547
Speaker 10: surely it has to it has to tell, and maybe

1543
01:18:23,547 --> 01:18:27,227
Speaker 10: we're just seeing the initial scientier that the penrith are

1544
01:18:27,267 --> 01:18:29,347
Speaker 10: off the ball and it's open for anyone else to

1545
01:18:29,347 --> 01:18:30,267
Speaker 10: take advantage this year.

1546
01:18:30,347 --> 01:18:32,787
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, anyone who wants to chase the storm betters

1547
01:18:32,987 --> 01:18:34,627
Speaker 2: I think everybody pretty much.

1548
01:18:35,027 --> 01:18:38,187
Speaker 10: Yeah, we were discussing with mate last night. It's storm

1549
01:18:38,227 --> 01:18:41,827
Speaker 10: and who We asked the question like four or five

1550
01:18:41,867 --> 01:18:45,347
Speaker 10: different answers. So yes, it's a fascinating company in that regard.

1551
01:18:45,387 --> 01:18:46,947
Speaker 10: And if the storm go off a little bit, it

1552
01:18:47,067 --> 01:18:48,467
Speaker 10: is completely wide open.

1553
01:18:48,707 --> 01:18:51,707
Speaker 2: All right. Well, let's finish with football and the soccer US.

1554
01:18:52,547 --> 01:18:55,427
Speaker 2: Two good results in the latest World Cup qualifying window

1555
01:18:55,467 --> 01:18:58,067
Speaker 2: of five to one went over Indonesia at home and

1556
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:01,227
Speaker 2: then a good two nil won away against China. So

1557
01:19:01,347 --> 01:19:04,547
Speaker 2: in terms of automatic qualification out of Asia, you have

1558
01:19:04,587 --> 01:19:06,467
Speaker 2: to finish in the top two in your group and

1559
01:19:06,467 --> 01:19:10,027
Speaker 2: have already secured top spot. Australia have to play Japan

1560
01:19:10,227 --> 01:19:14,107
Speaker 2: and then Saudi Arabia. That Saudi Arabia game away. That

1561
01:19:14,187 --> 01:19:18,387
Speaker 2: feels like a virtual one off automatic qualification game, doesn't it,

1562
01:19:18,387 --> 01:19:22,147
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia Australia in June, Yeah.

1563
01:19:21,987 --> 01:19:22,987
Speaker 5: It does. It does.

1564
01:19:23,067 --> 01:19:26,387
Speaker 10: However, if we beat Japan, take care of business again

1565
01:19:26,507 --> 01:19:31,347
Speaker 10: them and weirdly enough, Japan look make qualifying look easy,

1566
01:19:31,707 --> 01:19:34,347
Speaker 10: and they got all this fabulous players playing in Europe.

1567
01:19:34,547 --> 01:19:35,987
Speaker 5: But every time we play them, it.

1568
01:19:35,947 --> 01:19:40,147
Speaker 10: Becomes a lot closer than what the squad know, the

1569
01:19:40,187 --> 01:19:42,907
Speaker 10: squad depth would suggest or form before, it would suggest

1570
01:19:42,987 --> 01:19:45,627
Speaker 10: that it's just a weird thing. Hopefully they ain't come

1571
01:19:45,627 --> 01:19:49,947
Speaker 10: out and tonk to Thornell. But yeah, if we get

1572
01:19:49,947 --> 01:19:52,387
Speaker 10: that result right, then it's very much in our own hands.

1573
01:19:52,387 --> 01:19:56,307
Speaker 10: In Saudi Arabia need a miracle. So yeah, we put

1574
01:19:56,307 --> 01:20:00,107
Speaker 10: ourselves in a position to look after things our own way.

1575
01:20:00,667 --> 01:20:02,907
Speaker 10: Given those two great results. In the first half against

1576
01:20:02,987 --> 01:20:04,947
Speaker 10: China was probably one of the better halves of football

1577
01:20:05,267 --> 01:20:09,027
Speaker 10: of the entire qualification campaign in front of eighty thousand

1578
01:20:09,627 --> 01:20:13,467
Speaker 10: screaming Chinese fans just to quieten them with a damn

1579
01:20:13,507 --> 01:20:16,027
Speaker 10: good performances. They helped by the goalkeeper on the second goal,

1580
01:20:16,107 --> 01:20:20,427
Speaker 10: we had a shocker. But yeah, really impressive results. But

1581
01:20:20,547 --> 01:20:22,827
Speaker 10: Pavovic hopefully gets a bit more time with this place

1582
01:20:23,027 --> 01:20:25,947
Speaker 10: for these next two games, not like two days, maybe

1583
01:20:25,987 --> 01:20:29,827
Speaker 10: four days, and yeah, better performance like the performance against

1584
01:20:29,867 --> 01:20:32,907
Speaker 10: in these right, but we're still on tight one weirdly.

1585
01:20:33,347 --> 01:20:36,107
Speaker 10: But yeah, the important thing is it's in our own

1586
01:20:36,107 --> 01:20:38,467
Speaker 10: hands and for once we don't need things to go

1587
01:20:38,547 --> 01:20:38,947
Speaker 10: our way.

1588
01:20:38,987 --> 01:20:42,147
Speaker 2: And you know, I think I read that Tony Popovich

1589
01:20:42,187 --> 01:20:45,347
Speaker 2: has had the best start in terms of unbeaten matches

1590
01:20:45,387 --> 01:20:49,347
Speaker 2: as soccer as coach since Terry Vinnables in nineteen ninety seven.

1591
01:20:49,707 --> 01:20:53,707
Speaker 2: So yeah, pretty good stuff that ended up true. Not try,

1592
01:20:53,707 --> 01:20:58,867
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to bring up old old roans, that's true.

1593
01:20:58,787 --> 01:21:01,227
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'll guarantee you, Piney, if you bring up that

1594
01:21:01,307 --> 01:21:03,827
Speaker 10: with any soccer as saying who knows their history, that's

1595
01:21:03,867 --> 01:21:05,387
Speaker 10: exactly the answer you're going to get.

1596
01:21:05,507 --> 01:21:09,667
Speaker 2: So yeah, did you did you catch the fact that

1597
01:21:09,667 --> 01:21:13,227
Speaker 2: the All Whites, though with a slightly easier path you know,

1598
01:21:14,107 --> 01:21:16,227
Speaker 2: have have qualified for the World Cup next year.

1599
01:21:16,827 --> 01:21:17,707
Speaker 9: No, happy for them.

1600
01:21:18,067 --> 01:21:19,987
Speaker 10: They got us done against the places you want to

1601
01:21:20,027 --> 01:21:25,147
Speaker 10: visit on holiday, so really happy for them. Care of

1602
01:21:25,227 --> 01:21:28,467
Speaker 10: business with all due respect in New Caledonia football. That've

1603
01:21:28,467 --> 01:21:31,427
Speaker 10: obviously proven New Caledonians and also PJ and all that.

1604
01:21:31,507 --> 01:21:34,987
Speaker 10: But yeah, the Kiwis, I'm sure you all started celebrating

1605
01:21:34,987 --> 01:21:38,107
Speaker 10: when you found out what the qualification criteria was and

1606
01:21:38,147 --> 01:21:40,787
Speaker 10: you took advantage of it. Well done and obviously that

1607
01:21:41,027 --> 01:21:42,667
Speaker 10: with all the PHAs you plan in Europe, it's going

1608
01:21:42,707 --> 01:21:43,587
Speaker 10: in the right direction.

1609
01:21:43,347 --> 01:21:45,987
Speaker 2: Over so it's fantastic. They always good to chant and

1637
01:23:14,067 --> 01:23:16,827
Speaker 2: said there's been another bid. In fact, there's been a

1638
01:23:16,827 --> 01:23:19,787
Speaker 2: bit of a bidding war in the last ten minutes.

1639
01:23:20,507 --> 01:23:22,467
Speaker 2: How much sh recking these shoes are going for? Have

1640
01:23:22,547 --> 01:23:26,427
Speaker 2: a guess, well the current bid. These are the shoes

1641
01:23:26,467 --> 01:23:29,027
Speaker 2: that Sam Ruth was wearing when he went under four

1642
01:23:29,067 --> 01:23:33,747
Speaker 2: minutes for the mile and became the youngest ever to

1643
01:23:33,787 --> 01:23:38,707
Speaker 2: do so. Ten eight hundred and fifty dollars is the

1644
01:23:38,747 --> 01:23:42,867
Speaker 2: current bid eight hundred and fifty and it closes at

1645
01:23:42,907 --> 01:23:45,147
Speaker 2: two forty. The reason it's closing at two forty is

1646
01:23:45,147 --> 01:23:49,027
Speaker 2: that Sam's dad, Ben has very kindly agreed to close

1647
01:23:49,067 --> 01:23:51,507
Speaker 2: the auction. During our show, he said, look, I'd love

1650
01:23:56,147 --> 01:24:00,787
Speaker 2: running in an event tonight over in Australia. Now. It's

1651
01:24:00,787 --> 01:24:05,787
Speaker 2: called the Maury Plant Meat. It's in Melbourne and I've

1652
01:24:05,827 --> 01:24:09,267
Speaker 2: just been a to the fact that it has officially

1653
01:24:09,747 --> 01:24:14,467
Speaker 2: sold out, the first one day athletics meet in Australia

1654
01:24:14,587 --> 01:24:18,387
Speaker 2: to sell out since the two thousand and one IBAF

1655
01:24:18,427 --> 01:24:23,067
Speaker 2: Grand Prix. That's tremendous. I don't know what a sellout

1656
01:24:23,187 --> 01:24:27,387
Speaker 2: is in terms of how many people can can get in.

1657
01:24:27,987 --> 01:24:30,387
Speaker 2: There we go, capacity crowd of ten thousand, There we go.

1658
01:24:31,187 --> 01:24:33,547
Speaker 2: Ten thousand people are going to front up to watch

1659
01:24:33,587 --> 01:24:38,027
Speaker 2: this and Sam Ruth is running in a very high

1660
01:24:38,147 --> 01:24:42,587
Speaker 2: quality fifteen hundred meter field tonight. Sam Tanner is also

1661
01:24:42,747 --> 01:24:47,147
Speaker 2: there and of the athletes who are taking part there

1662
01:24:47,187 --> 01:24:50,427
Speaker 2: are fourteen of them. We know how quick Sam Ruth is.

1663
01:24:50,627 --> 01:24:54,947
Speaker 2: Sam Ruth by time is the second slowest in this field.

1664
01:24:55,307 --> 01:24:58,587
Speaker 2: That's how high quality. The field is made up mainly

1665
01:24:58,587 --> 01:25:02,027
Speaker 2: of Australians, with just Sam Tanner and Sam Ruth flying

1666
01:25:02,067 --> 01:25:04,867
Speaker 2: the New Zealand flag. The other twelve are all Australians.

1667
01:25:04,987 --> 01:25:07,747
Speaker 2: Know there's one Japanese runner in the as well, but

1668
01:25:07,827 --> 01:25:11,707
Speaker 2: sold out. It's just utterly terrific track and field going

1669
01:25:11,707 --> 01:25:13,987
Speaker 2: through a bit of a renaissance on both sides of

1670
01:25:13,987 --> 01:25:15,467
Speaker 2: the Tasman by the sounds of it. Not that it

1671
01:25:15,467 --> 01:25:17,667
Speaker 2: ever went away, but you know what I mean anyway,

1672
01:25:17,707 --> 01:25:22,507
Speaker 2: Ben Ruth before to three with the final tally of

1673
01:25:22,827 --> 01:25:25,427

1677
01:25:37,947 --> 01:25:40,747
Speaker 2: a statement performance last night beating the Warritars. They've been

1678
01:25:40,787 --> 01:25:42,547

01:25:59,827 --> 01:26:03,107
Speaker 2: couple of things to ask you about. Ben Ruth, of course,

1686
01:26:03,147 --> 01:26:05,267
Speaker 2: will keep eyes on the cricket. Now, just on the cricket.

1687
01:26:05,787 --> 01:26:09,227
Speaker 2: New Zealand two hundred and two for three, two hundred

1688
01:26:09,227 --> 01:26:12,827
Speaker 2: and two for three batting first against Pakistan and Napier

1689
01:26:12,867 --> 01:26:15,947
Speaker 2: now they worth fifty for three. So by my maths,

1690
01:26:16,147 --> 01:26:18,187
Speaker 2: Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchell have added one hundred and

1691
01:26:18,227 --> 01:26:22,907
Speaker 2: fifty two for the third wicket unbroken. And I wondered,

1692
01:26:23,507 --> 01:26:25,507
Speaker 2: and you might be wondering too, what the highest third

1693
01:26:25,507 --> 01:26:28,507
Speaker 2: wicket partnership is for New Zealand against Pakistan and One

1694
01:26:28,547 --> 01:26:30,907
Speaker 2: Day Internationals. I can tell you it was Daryl Mitchell

1695
01:26:30,947 --> 01:26:33,507
Speaker 2: with Tom Latham. They put on one hundred and eighty

1696
01:26:33,587 --> 01:26:36,307
Speaker 2: three for the third wicket and a game in raoul

1697
01:26:36,387 --> 01:26:40,427
Speaker 2: Pindi in April of twenty twenty three. So Daryl Mitchell's

1698
01:26:40,427 --> 01:26:43,867
Speaker 2: got the opportunity to break that record. Although New Zealand

1699
01:26:43,867 --> 01:26:47,747
Speaker 2: are undergoing a review at the moment. We'll bring you

1700
01:26:47,787 --> 01:26:51,307
Speaker 2: the upshot of that. But going along pretty nicely New

1701
01:26:51,427 --> 01:26:54,107
Speaker 2: Zealand against Pakistan having been sent in two hundred and

1702
01:26:54,187 --> 01:26:56,787
Speaker 2: one for three coming towards the end of the Sorry

1703
01:26:56,787 --> 01:26:58,707
Speaker 2: two two for three coming towards the end of the

Speaker 12: at that ball.

1718
01:27:39,107 --> 01:27:41,307

1755
01:29:48,947 --> 01:29:53,107
Speaker 2: in the NBA. With twelve seconds to go, the balls

1756
01:29:53,147 --> 01:29:57,867
Speaker 2: were down by five. They hit a three, stole the inbounds,

1757
01:29:58,267 --> 01:30:01,387
Speaker 2: hit another three, and then this happened in the last

1758

01:31:25,467 --> 01:31:28,547
Speaker 2: Hurricanes last night, it just bounces off ahead of a

1783
01:31:28,627 --> 01:31:29,547
Speaker 2: flyer and a touch.

1784
01:31:29,627 --> 01:31:29,907
Speaker 10: They go.

1785
01:31:32,507 --> 01:31:35,747
Speaker 2: Ragged old end to this one full time in Wellington

1786
01:31:36,507 --> 01:31:41,427
Speaker 2: statement performance from the Hurricanes nine tries to two. They've

1787
01:31:41,507 --> 01:31:44,867
Speaker 2: won it by fifty seven points to twelve. Yeah, betting

1788
01:31:44,867 --> 01:31:46,947
Speaker 2: the warrit has fifty seven twelve to move into Super

1789
01:31:46,987 --> 01:31:50,067
Speaker 2: Rugby's top six for the first time this season. Hurricanes

1790
01:31:50,187 --> 01:31:53,507
Speaker 2: assistant coach Bryn Evans is with us Brian. First of all,

1791
01:31:53,547 --> 01:31:56,387
Speaker 2: in general terms, how big a result was this in

1792
01:31:56,547 --> 01:31:58,067
Speaker 2: terms of the Hurricane season.

1793
01:31:59,507 --> 01:32:02,667
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it's it's it's obviously good to see

1794
01:32:02,707 --> 01:32:06,027
Speaker 12: the boys, you know, get out there and through the

1795
01:32:06,107 --> 01:32:09,547
Speaker 12: ball around a bit, I suppose, and just see the

1796
01:32:09,667 --> 01:32:12,227
Speaker 12: smiles on the faces on a few of the Moose

1797
01:32:12,507 --> 01:32:13,147
Speaker 12: coming off.

1798
01:32:13,627 --> 01:32:16,667
Speaker 2: After a slightly inconsistent start to twenty twenty five, did

1799
01:32:16,707 --> 01:32:19,627
Speaker 2: it feel like a performance like this was coming.

1800
01:32:21,307 --> 01:32:24,267
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think, you know, especially the week before the

1801
01:32:24,787 --> 01:32:29,307
Speaker 12: buy really grinding out a win against the Hondas brought

1802
01:32:29,387 --> 01:32:34,867
Speaker 12: some good cohesion amongst the group and boys went away,

1803
01:32:35,667 --> 01:32:39,587
Speaker 12: recharged over the BIEWK and came back really keen to

1804
01:32:40,107 --> 01:32:43,947
Speaker 12: crack on and you know, put the X to the

1805
01:32:44,027 --> 01:32:46,387
Speaker 12: grind and work on a few things that maybe we've

1806
01:32:46,427 --> 01:32:48,347
Speaker 12: been lacking on this out of season.

1807
01:32:48,667 --> 01:32:50,907
Speaker 2: What sort of things have been that we were the

1808
01:32:50,987 --> 01:32:53,027
Speaker 2: main focus heading into last night. What were some of

1809
01:32:53,067 --> 01:32:54,667
Speaker 2: the things that you were you were quite keen to

1810
01:32:54,747 --> 01:32:56,867
Speaker 2: see even small improvements in.

1811
01:32:58,147 --> 01:33:02,547
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think especially when we looked at our defense,

1812
01:33:02,667 --> 01:33:04,907
Speaker 12: it was getting off the line, you know, not waiting

1813
01:33:05,027 --> 01:33:09,107
Speaker 12: for the the opposition to come to us more us

1814
01:33:09,227 --> 01:33:14,507
Speaker 12: go to them and dictate on our terms, put pressure

1815
01:33:14,547 --> 01:33:19,987
Speaker 12: on their ballplayers, and just being switched on on both

1816
01:33:19,987 --> 01:33:22,787
Speaker 12: sides of the ball so we could be up as

1817
01:33:22,867 --> 01:33:23,587
Speaker 12: that one line.

1818
01:33:23,947 --> 01:33:25,947
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the stats, but just on the defense,

1819
01:33:25,987 --> 01:33:28,347
Speaker 2: you must have been happy because well from my memory

1820
01:33:28,387 --> 01:33:32,227
Speaker 2: of watching the game last night, the Hurricanes's defense was excellent.

1821
01:33:32,267 --> 01:33:34,627
Speaker 2: I can't remember too many mistackles, too many line breaks

1822
01:33:34,907 --> 01:33:37,307
Speaker 2: from the wartas. Were you happy with the defensive performance?

1823
01:33:38,307 --> 01:33:41,507
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think obviously they're a good side and rolling.

1824
01:33:41,307 --> 01:33:42,427
Speaker 5: Off the back of what they had.

1825
01:33:42,387 --> 01:33:44,907
Speaker 12: Done last week, they came out and started really strong,

1826
01:33:46,507 --> 01:33:48,547
Speaker 12: and so that's you know, flick the boys into gear

1827
01:33:48,547 --> 01:33:50,907
Speaker 12: pretty quickly, and I think bar that first you know,

1828
01:33:52,107 --> 01:33:54,747
Speaker 12: five ten minutes where they got a few points, I

1829
01:33:54,867 --> 01:33:58,667
Speaker 12: think the boys really showed what they can do when

1830
01:33:58,707 --> 01:34:01,747
Speaker 12: they do do the things that they they've been working

1831
01:34:01,827 --> 01:34:02,507
Speaker 12: on during the week.

1832
01:34:02,627 --> 01:34:05,587
Speaker 5: So that was really pleasing to see, so thirty.

1833
01:34:05,347 --> 01:34:09,027
Speaker 2: Five minutes gone, only ten seven ahead, did it feel

1834
01:34:09,107 --> 01:34:10,587
Speaker 2: like it was going to be a bit of an

1835
01:34:10,627 --> 01:34:13,627
Speaker 2: armor whistle, a bit like the Highlanders game. At that point,

1836
01:34:15,627 --> 01:34:16,187
Speaker 2: it felt like.

1837
01:34:16,307 --> 01:34:19,027
Speaker 5: We were creating a lot of opportunities.

1838
01:34:19,107 --> 01:34:22,427
Speaker 12: It felt like we were playing within ourselves, I think

1839
01:34:22,987 --> 01:34:25,507
Speaker 12: for the most part, and I think we were playing

1840
01:34:25,547 --> 01:34:26,387
Speaker 12: in the right ears.

1841
01:34:26,187 --> 01:34:26,667
Speaker 5: Of the field.

1842
01:34:28,067 --> 01:34:29,947
Speaker 12: It was just you know, that last pass or a

1843
01:34:29,987 --> 01:34:33,667
Speaker 12: little bit of a miscommunication or you know, something that

1844
01:34:33,747 --> 01:34:36,467
Speaker 12: didn't quite go away, and then that year that lasts

1845
01:34:36,467 --> 01:34:40,707
Speaker 12: two or three minutes before halftime. You know, we managed

1846
01:34:40,747 --> 01:34:44,907
Speaker 12: to put a lot of good phases stacking on top

1847
01:34:44,947 --> 01:34:47,147
Speaker 12: of each other, and I think a supper scored a

1848
01:34:47,227 --> 01:34:52,067
Speaker 12: try and then you know from a kick that bounced

1849
01:34:52,147 --> 01:34:55,067
Speaker 12: from the kickoff, you know, the boys just bouncing on

1850
01:34:55,187 --> 01:34:57,827
Speaker 12: loose Bourne and then from there, you know, that's where

1851
01:34:57,827 --> 01:35:00,387
Speaker 12: the boys really come alive and play with the Hurricanes rugby.

1852
01:35:00,427 --> 01:35:02,547
Speaker 12: And that was great to see a few passes sticking

1853
01:35:02,787 --> 01:35:03,787
Speaker 12: and going the link like that.

1854
01:35:04,187 --> 01:35:06,307
Speaker 2: Surely got to give a rap to Isaiah Walker Leowerdi

1855
01:35:06,427 --> 01:35:08,627
Speaker 2: for his run and later in the first half to

1856
01:35:08,667 --> 01:35:10,067
Speaker 2: set up came royguards try.

1857
01:35:11,027 --> 01:35:13,187
Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent, and I think.

1858
01:35:15,147 --> 01:35:18,027
Speaker 12: Isaiah, you know, potentially hit one of his better games

1859
01:35:18,067 --> 01:35:20,267
Speaker 12: at one of his best games in a Hurricane Jersey

1860
01:35:20,347 --> 01:35:23,747
Speaker 12: last night. He was everywhere, you know, he was, he

1861
01:35:23,947 --> 01:35:29,267
Speaker 12: was playing right on the line and just he was

1862
01:35:29,347 --> 01:35:31,587
Speaker 12: in everything. So it was it was really awesome to see.

1863
01:35:31,627 --> 01:35:33,907
Speaker 12: You know, he's he's had a few issues with his

1864
01:35:34,027 --> 01:35:36,747
Speaker 12: discipline over the start of the season, and I think

1865
01:35:36,827 --> 01:35:39,867
Speaker 12: he's he's really gone away and he's worked really hard

1866
01:35:39,907 --> 01:35:41,907
Speaker 12: on those things what he can and can't do, and

1867
01:35:42,107 --> 01:35:44,747
Speaker 12: I think we saw really a great version of him

1868
01:35:44,787 --> 01:35:45,147
Speaker 12: last night.

1869
01:35:45,307 --> 01:35:47,987
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they couldn't agree more. They scored a trioly

1870
01:35:48,027 --> 01:35:52,307
Speaker 2: in the second but then thirty three unanswered points from

1871
01:35:52,347 --> 01:35:55,067
Speaker 2: the Hurricanes. You must have enjoyed the last half hour

1872
01:35:55,107 --> 01:35:55,747
Speaker 2: or so of that game.

1873
01:35:56,947 --> 01:35:57,907
Speaker 8: Yeah, Yeah, it was.

1874
01:35:58,067 --> 01:36:00,107
Speaker 12: It was great, great to see, great to say, if

1875
01:36:00,147 --> 01:36:03,067
Speaker 12: you guys come off the bench and take their opportunities.

1876
01:36:03,147 --> 01:36:06,787
Speaker 12: You know, it's I think, you know, from the start

1877
01:36:06,827 --> 01:36:08,987
Speaker 12: of the season that we have had we've had the

1878
01:36:09,027 --> 01:36:11,987
Speaker 12: opportunity for some guys that don't generally play a lot

1879
01:36:12,067 --> 01:36:15,867
Speaker 12: of rugby or you know, consistent rugby, that to actually

1880
01:36:16,707 --> 01:36:20,787
Speaker 12: get some real, some real valuable minutes under their belts.

1881
01:36:20,947 --> 01:36:22,107
Speaker 5: In terms of Super rugby.

1882
01:36:22,227 --> 01:36:25,467
Speaker 12: So in terms of a squad, we're really building some

1883
01:36:26,027 --> 01:36:28,507
Speaker 12: experience here, which is great, and those guys are actually

1884
01:36:28,547 --> 01:36:31,547
Speaker 12: now starting to kind of figure out how to go

1885
01:36:31,627 --> 01:36:34,067
Speaker 12: about their business, and I think it's.

1886
01:36:34,027 --> 01:36:35,987
Speaker 5: Just going to make the team stronger going forward.

1887
01:36:36,387 --> 01:36:40,227
Speaker 2: Set piece one of your one of your key responsibilities.

1888
01:36:40,347 --> 01:36:42,587
Speaker 2: Nine out of ten of your own lineouts one you

1889
01:36:42,707 --> 01:36:45,507
Speaker 2: won four of theirs. You'd be pretty happy with those numbers.

1890
01:36:46,667 --> 01:36:48,187
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know, we.

1891
01:36:49,787 --> 01:36:51,827
Speaker 12: We pride ourselves in our set piece. You know, we're

1892
01:36:51,947 --> 01:36:55,307
Speaker 12: kind of we're on the wrong side of maybe a

1893
01:36:55,467 --> 01:36:58,147
Speaker 12: real and not straight which was which is tough. But

1894
01:36:58,267 --> 01:37:01,467
Speaker 12: you know, boys trained hard over the weekend. I think,

1895
01:37:01,667 --> 01:37:05,347
Speaker 12: you know, in terms of trying to stop a team

1896
01:37:05,387 --> 01:37:07,507
Speaker 12: at the Warrior ties, you have to attack them at source,

1897
01:37:07,667 --> 01:37:11,187
Speaker 12: and they've got some great ball runners and they've got

1898
01:37:11,227 --> 01:37:15,387
Speaker 12: some strong forward so we we we really plan to

1899
01:37:15,467 --> 01:37:16,267
Speaker 12: go after him at.

1900
01:37:16,187 --> 01:37:16,907
Speaker 5: Set peace off.

1901
01:37:16,947 --> 01:37:18,947
Speaker 12: We could disrupt them in the first phase like that,

1902
01:37:19,107 --> 01:37:21,147
Speaker 12: then that was going to make our jobs a lot easier.

1903
01:37:21,267 --> 01:37:25,707
Speaker 12: So it was pleasing to see the boys get set

1904
01:37:25,787 --> 01:37:29,547
Speaker 12: first and really sort of attack what was in front

1905
01:37:29,587 --> 01:37:29,827
Speaker 12: of them.

1906
01:37:30,427 --> 01:37:34,667
Speaker 2: Now, does Reuben Love practice throwing thirty meter behind the

1907
01:37:34,747 --> 01:37:36,067
Speaker 2: back flick passes.

1908
01:37:37,867 --> 01:37:40,747
Speaker 12: Well, room and love practices a lot of things, and

1909
01:37:40,907 --> 01:37:45,467
Speaker 12: he practiced him very well. I haven't seen him do that.

1910
01:37:45,547 --> 01:37:48,507
Speaker 12: One might do one of those sessions that I might

1911
01:37:48,547 --> 01:37:53,227
Speaker 12: have ducked into to review training, so potentially, but you know,

1912
01:37:53,427 --> 01:37:55,667
Speaker 12: he's the sort of guy that can can pull those

1913
01:37:55,707 --> 01:37:58,867
Speaker 12: things off. And it looks like it comes as easy

1914
01:37:58,867 --> 01:38:00,707
Speaker 12: as it did to him last night. So you know,

1915
01:38:00,867 --> 01:38:02,987
Speaker 12: he's a talented player and it's it's great to have

1916
01:38:03,107 --> 01:38:05,787
Speaker 12: him back planning some Hurricanes rugby.

1917
01:38:05,867 --> 01:38:08,707
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty special stuff to set that that try up

1918
01:38:08,747 --> 01:38:13,547
Speaker 2: at the end and another really solid performance from Duplessis.

1919
01:38:13,787 --> 01:38:16,147
Speaker 2: You've been in and around him for a little while now, Brinnan,

1920
01:38:16,467 --> 01:38:19,147
Speaker 2: are you seeing some some growth as we all are

1921
01:38:19,187 --> 01:38:20,227
Speaker 2: in the way he plays the game?

1922
01:38:21,547 --> 01:38:25,027
Speaker 12: Yeah, one hundred percent. You know, he's he's coming to

1923
01:38:26,667 --> 01:38:29,267
Speaker 12: He's he's a big he's a big part of the team.

1924
01:38:29,347 --> 01:38:33,187
Speaker 12: You know, he's he's a he's a leader. He's been

1925
01:38:33,187 --> 01:38:37,627
Speaker 12: given that that leadership, one of those leadership responsibilities this year,

1926
01:38:37,707 --> 01:38:40,867
Speaker 12: and I think that's something he's been craving and he's

1927
01:38:41,667 --> 01:38:44,307
Speaker 12: he's just taken everything in his stride. You know, here

1928
01:38:44,547 --> 01:38:47,947
Speaker 12: the boys will will listen to him and I'll follow him,

1929
01:38:47,987 --> 01:38:49,987
Speaker 12: and I think that's that's the best things to kind

1930
01:38:49,987 --> 01:38:53,787
Speaker 12: of go. You'll get them behind and he'll lead the way.

1931
01:38:53,907 --> 01:38:57,027
Speaker 12: So it's it's coming through on what he does on

1932
01:38:57,107 --> 01:38:59,867
Speaker 12: the field obviously, and and and off the field as well.

1933
01:38:59,907 --> 01:39:02,627
Speaker 12: And I think he's he's taken that opportunity and I

1934
01:39:02,747 --> 01:39:06,227
Speaker 12: think you know he's he's a sort of guy that's

1935
01:39:06,427 --> 01:39:09,107
Speaker 12: gonna that's going to do everything you can for this team,

1936
01:39:09,187 --> 01:39:10,987
Speaker 12: and that's what you want of one of your leaders.

1937
01:39:11,187 --> 01:39:13,947
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And just to finish the Blues up next a

1938
01:39:14,027 --> 01:39:16,547
Speaker 2: week tonight up at Eden Park. They're a bit of

1939
01:39:16,587 --> 01:39:18,587
Speaker 2: a wounded beast at the moment. They've got to buy

1940
01:39:18,667 --> 01:39:20,987
Speaker 2: this weekend to get their own refreshment in. How are

1941
01:39:20,987 --> 01:39:22,667
Speaker 2: you going to prepare for the challenge of the Blues

1942
01:39:22,667 --> 01:39:23,667
Speaker 2: at Eaton Park next week?

1943
01:39:25,107 --> 01:39:27,147
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, the boys would have would

1944
01:39:27,147 --> 01:39:27,827
Speaker 5: have been happy with.

1945
01:39:29,307 --> 01:39:32,987
Speaker 12: With the result last night, but then you know, as

1946
01:39:33,027 --> 01:39:35,347
Speaker 12: soon as that that was done, there'll be one eye

1947
01:39:35,427 --> 01:39:37,907
Speaker 12: on the week ahead.

1948
01:39:38,107 --> 01:39:42,267
Speaker 5: And you know there's a we narrow now.

1949
01:39:42,387 --> 01:39:44,147
Speaker 12: We lost at home to them, you know, a few

1950
01:39:44,187 --> 01:39:47,947
Speaker 12: weeks back, so that'll be not too not too far

1951
01:39:48,067 --> 01:39:50,547
Speaker 12: in the distant memory of the boys and I think

1952
01:39:51,787 --> 01:39:52,267
Speaker 12: it should be.

1953
01:39:52,227 --> 01:39:52,987
Speaker 5: A really good game.

1954
01:39:53,187 --> 01:39:57,187
Speaker 12: You know, we're we're going to be preparing really well.

1955
01:39:57,747 --> 01:40:00,507
Speaker 12: But as you say, there'll be there'll be an air

1956
01:40:00,547 --> 01:40:05,107
Speaker 12: of desperation about the Blues and I think it's it's

1957
01:40:05,187 --> 01:40:06,467
Speaker 12: going to be one of the it's going to be

1958
01:40:06,507 --> 01:40:07,147
Speaker 12: a real scrap.

1959
01:40:07,267 --> 01:40:08,747
Speaker 5: So you will be looking forward to that.

1960
01:40:09,067 --> 01:40:11,827
Speaker 2: Yeah, so are we excellent stuff? Bring congratulations on the

1961
01:40:11,827 --> 01:40:13,347
Speaker 2: win last night. Thanks for the chat. Today, go and

1962
01:40:13,467 --> 01:40:15,587
Speaker 2: enjoy what looks to be a pretty nice Wellington.

1963
01:40:15,267 --> 01:40:18,427
Speaker 5: Day, okayn't beat it mate? Thanks funny No, thank you.

1964
01:40:18,507 --> 01:40:22,947
Speaker 2: Brent Brentevans, their assistant coach of the Hurricanes after their

1965
01:40:22,947 --> 01:40:26,507
Speaker 2: good win yesterday fifty seven points to twelve, so that

1966
01:40:26,627 --> 01:40:30,147
Speaker 2: does take them up to sixth on the table on

1967
01:40:30,707 --> 01:40:33,747
Speaker 2: points differential. Basically they had the same number of points

1968
01:40:34,107 --> 01:40:37,307
Speaker 2: as the Force, but a better points diff So after

1969
01:40:37,387 --> 01:40:41,107
Speaker 2: six games Hurricanes on fourteen points. Chiefs are top. They've

1970
01:40:41,147 --> 01:40:44,387
Speaker 2: got the weekend off, the Crusaders can go top. Later

1971
01:40:44,507 --> 01:40:47,107
Speaker 2: on tonight, Goldsport and iHeartRadio will have coverage of the

1972
01:40:47,187 --> 01:40:51,267
Speaker 2: Crusaders against Mowana PACIFICA. I sure want to take your

1973
01:40:51,307 --> 01:40:56,107
Speaker 2: cause on that, especially Crusaders fans. Are you back we

1974
01:40:56,227 --> 01:40:57,947
Speaker 2: spoke a little bit about this last week off the

1975
01:40:57,987 --> 01:41:02,227
Speaker 2: back of your win over the Blues. Extremely impressive by

1976
01:41:02,267 --> 01:41:04,987
Speaker 2: the way, or are you just going to wait and see?

1977
01:41:05,707 --> 01:41:07,907
Speaker 2: Because it more and more the more I watched the

1978
01:41:07,947 --> 01:41:10,147
Speaker 2: Crusaders this year, more and more it feels like an

1979
01:41:10,187 --> 01:41:15,067
Speaker 2: outlier twenty twenty four, an utter outlier, and maybe it

1980
01:41:15,227 --> 01:41:17,427
Speaker 2: just took a bit of time for Rob Penny. And

1981
01:41:17,547 --> 01:41:19,627
Speaker 2: this actually leads into a conversation I want to have

1982
01:41:19,667 --> 01:41:22,227
Speaker 2: tomorrow around the whole Lie and Lawson thing, which we're

1983
01:41:22,267 --> 01:41:25,627
Speaker 2: going to do after mid day tomorrow, just just so

1984
01:41:25,787 --> 01:41:27,667
Speaker 2: you know, if you want to tune after mid day tomorrow,

1985
01:41:27,947 --> 01:41:30,747
Speaker 2: we'll have a good long chin wag about Liam Lawson

1986
01:41:30,747 --> 01:41:32,467
Speaker 2: and what's happened there. And I'm keen to hear your views.

1987
01:41:32,667 --> 01:41:34,307
Speaker 2: But you know, they could have easily got rid of

1988
01:41:34,387 --> 01:41:37,227
Speaker 2: Rob Penny last year, couldn't they. And it just feels

1989
01:41:37,267 --> 01:41:41,507
Speaker 2: as though they stuck with them and now they're starting

1990
01:41:41,547 --> 01:41:44,227
Speaker 2: to bear the fruit of that. It's rare, actually an

1991
01:41:44,267 --> 01:41:48,907
Speaker 2: elite sport, this instant gratification mindset. It's started to really

1992
01:41:48,987 --> 01:41:51,467
Speaker 2: great on me. I have to say, just getting rid

1993
01:41:51,507 --> 01:41:55,747
Speaker 2: of somebody when things don't go well immediately two races

1994
01:41:55,827 --> 01:41:58,747
Speaker 2: for Liam Lawson gone out of Red Bull anyway, we

1995
01:41:58,827 --> 01:42:01,347
Speaker 2: can talk about that tomorrow. So Crusaders more on a pacificut,

1996
01:42:01,747 --> 01:42:06,227
Speaker 2: any nerves, Crusaders fans or or not more on a pacificut.

1997
01:42:06,507 --> 01:42:10,107
Speaker 2: We know they can score points, in fact, they're one

1998
01:42:10,147 --> 01:42:14,787
Speaker 2: of the highest point scorers in the entire Super Rap competition,

1999
01:42:14,987 --> 01:42:17,947
Speaker 2: but they leak a lot of points. And when the

2000
01:42:18,027 --> 01:42:21,947
Speaker 2: Crusaders can call upon outside backs like they can, I

2001
01:42:21,987 --> 01:42:24,107
Speaker 2: don't even think Seva Reese's playing tonight. Now he's not.

2002
01:42:24,427 --> 01:42:29,307
Speaker 2: He's He's dropped out. Jordan's springer and Fee Harckey. Goodness me,

2003
01:42:30,547 --> 01:42:34,747
Speaker 2: Jordan's spring of Fee Harckey. What a back three, Harvillian

2004
01:42:34,867 --> 01:42:38,747
Speaker 2: McLeod and midfield setting them up. James O'Connor at first

2005
01:42:38,827 --> 01:42:42,427
Speaker 2: five tonight. Interesting, Noah Hotham back at half back. So

2006
01:42:42,547 --> 01:42:46,507
Speaker 2: the back line is Hotham, O'Connor, Harvillly McLoud and midfield

2007
01:42:46,627 --> 01:42:51,907
Speaker 2: spring of Ve Hackey, Jordan Purpus. But then you look

2008
01:42:51,907 --> 01:42:53,947
Speaker 2: at the more oner PACIFICA side, and they have had

2009
01:42:53,987 --> 01:42:56,747
Speaker 2: their moments, haven't they. They've had their moments, and they

2010
01:42:56,867 --> 01:43:03,107
Speaker 2: too have some fairly potent outside backs and some playmakers

2011
01:43:03,147 --> 01:43:07,547
Speaker 2: as well. Ardie Savier back. That's key, absolutely crucial, isn't

2012
01:43:07,587 --> 01:43:10,427
Speaker 2: it for them? Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

2013
01:43:10,467 --> 01:43:12,147
Speaker 2: If you would like to talk about a super rugby,

2014
01:43:12,507 --> 01:43:15,547
Speaker 2: this meantime from a short time ago in Napier.

2015
01:43:15,827 --> 01:43:19,667
Speaker 14: As irv un this could be yet it is. It's

2016
01:43:19,707 --> 01:43:24,387
Speaker 14: one hundred runs for Mark Chapman. It was a short

2017
01:43:24,467 --> 01:43:28,307
Speaker 14: ball from Irvan Cahan and Chapman who had a few

2018
01:43:28,387 --> 01:43:34,587
Speaker 14: swings at it, powers it down the ground for four

2019
01:43:34,707 --> 01:43:37,747
Speaker 14: runs and a well earned hundred Yeah.

2020
01:43:37,827 --> 01:43:41,027
Speaker 2: Courtesy of our friends at the Alternative Commentary Collective, where

2021
01:43:41,027 --> 01:43:44,147
Speaker 2: you can hear live commentary of all these black app matches.

2022
01:43:44,347 --> 01:43:46,227
Speaker 2: Mark Chamman bringing up his one hundred he's now one

2023
01:43:46,307 --> 01:43:48,907
Speaker 2: hundred and six, not out of one hundred balls, Darrel Mitchell,

2024
01:43:48,947 --> 01:43:51,547
Speaker 2: they're on seventy six and this partnership is now worth

2025
01:43:51,987 --> 01:43:55,107
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety eight runs, so it is a

2026
01:43:55,267 --> 01:43:58,707
Speaker 2: new record New Zealand two hundred and forty eight for three.

2027
01:43:59,107 --> 01:44:02,187
Speaker 2: Coming towards the end of the forty second over talking

2028
01:44:02,307 --> 01:44:05,107
Speaker 2: some super rugby. If you would like to a new

2029
01:44:05,387 --> 01:44:08,347
Speaker 2: revol you'll just need to turn that radio down in

2030
01:44:08,347 --> 01:44:10,067
Speaker 2: the background, being because we sort of operate on a

2031
01:44:10,107 --> 01:44:12,587
Speaker 2: delay system just in case you happen to come on

2032
01:44:12,747 --> 01:44:16,987
Speaker 2: and swear we need to get rid of you. You know, well, being,

01:44:37,267 --> 01:44:37,667

01:44:38,467 --> 01:44:38,707
Speaker 5: Mate?

2042
01:44:38,747 --> 01:44:42,107
Speaker 9: I just I just loved how these guys sort of

2043
01:44:42,747 --> 01:44:46,467
Speaker 9: we're getting the banter of being a guaranteed points scorer

2044
01:44:47,227 --> 01:44:50,067
Speaker 9: at the start of the when they first entered the competition.

2045
01:44:52,227 --> 01:44:55,627
Speaker 9: I just I'm also worrious then, and I know how

2046
01:44:55,667 --> 01:44:57,947
Speaker 9: it would have been for these guys more in pacifica

2047
01:44:58,187 --> 01:45:03,187
Speaker 9: in the drewer yep, and and and now look now, look,

2048
01:45:03,627 --> 01:45:06,667
Speaker 9: you know you've got you've got competition, have you. One's

2049
01:45:06,667 --> 01:45:09,907
Speaker 9: going to say tonight, oh the Crusaders. I mean, I'm

2050
01:45:09,907 --> 01:45:13,627
Speaker 9: a Crusaders man. I'll go to Fiji a lot put

2051
01:45:13,667 --> 01:45:15,747
Speaker 9: on the old Crusaders Jersey get a lot of respect

2052
01:45:16,787 --> 01:45:20,987
Speaker 9: after being over there, and know in their culture, I

2053
01:45:21,627 --> 01:45:23,547
Speaker 9: get behind the drew now and I watch them because

2054
01:45:23,547 --> 01:45:25,547
Speaker 9: and I love watching them because it is so exciting

2055
01:45:25,627 --> 01:45:31,267
Speaker 9: to watch the mine of Psfoka is obviously change the

2056
01:45:31,347 --> 01:45:36,427
Speaker 9: step with Addie Savier on board, and it's just awesome

2057
01:45:36,467 --> 01:45:38,867
Speaker 9: to see. Me, it's just awesome to see and I

2058
01:45:39,827 --> 01:45:40,947
Speaker 9: can't wait for the nights game.

2059
01:45:43,507 --> 01:45:43,987
Speaker 5: Yeah but.

2060
01:45:45,507 --> 01:45:47,507
Speaker 9: One day, one day the Worries might take out the

2061
01:45:47,787 --> 01:45:51,307
Speaker 9: Premiership and one day, one day that one day the

2062
01:45:51,427 --> 01:45:54,547
Speaker 9: Duror might just when when Super Rugby, what do you say,

2063
01:45:54,667 --> 01:45:54,907
Speaker 9: you know.

2064
01:45:54,987 --> 01:45:55,267
Speaker 3: Why not?

2065
01:45:55,547 --> 01:45:55,867
Speaker 6: Why not?

2066
01:45:59,387 --> 01:45:59,547
Speaker 15: Yeah?

2067
01:45:59,827 --> 01:46:02,587
Speaker 2: No, but I totally agree, and look, I would love

2068
01:46:02,667 --> 01:46:04,867
Speaker 2: to see it. And if the Fiji and Drawer can

2069
01:46:04,987 --> 01:46:07,707
Speaker 2: somehow replicate what they do at home on the road,

2070
01:46:07,787 --> 01:46:09,427
Speaker 2: I mean you'll know that it's you know, they're a

2071
01:46:09,467 --> 01:46:12,827
Speaker 2: different proposition, you know in Fiji. But if they can replicate,

2072
01:46:12,947 --> 01:46:15,467
Speaker 2: even if they can start to pick up wins more

2073
01:46:15,587 --> 01:46:18,747
Speaker 2: regularly away, I think the Fiji and Drawer are absolutely

2074
01:46:19,347 --> 01:46:21,067
Speaker 2: a playoff proposition for starters and.

2075
01:46:21,147 --> 01:46:23,747
Speaker 9: There who knows there are forced to be rickon with

2076
01:46:23,827 --> 01:46:26,947
Speaker 9: then and and and so is my own partificate.

2077
01:46:27,147 --> 01:46:27,507
Speaker 10: Look at it.

2078
01:46:27,587 --> 01:46:31,067
Speaker 9: Look at how those fellows turned out this year. When

2079
01:46:31,107 --> 01:46:33,227
Speaker 9: you see Ardie not on a field, it's a funny one.

2080
01:46:33,267 --> 01:46:35,787
Speaker 9: You say, you can't bank on one player to be

2081
01:46:35,907 --> 01:46:37,187
Speaker 9: there for the team. You know, we did it with

2082
01:46:37,267 --> 01:46:40,867
Speaker 9: Sean Johnson, but you see when Artie's there, and you

2083
01:46:41,067 --> 01:46:42,907
Speaker 9: just know that if you if you had Ardio and

2084
01:46:42,987 --> 01:46:46,507
Speaker 9: your team, you do things that you didn't think you

2085
01:46:46,547 --> 01:46:49,027
Speaker 9: could be able to do, you know, And so it's

2086
01:46:49,187 --> 01:46:51,667
Speaker 9: just it's awesome. I can't wait for a nice game.

2087
01:46:52,027 --> 01:46:53,707
Speaker 2: Good on you, benh great to chat to him, mate,

2088
01:46:53,827 --> 01:46:56,427
Speaker 2: call back anytime, Always good chatting rugby video. I feel

2089
01:46:56,427 --> 01:46:58,147
Speaker 2: the same way about Artie Savia. I feel I feel

2090
01:46:58,147 --> 01:47:00,707
Speaker 2: like if I was a rugby player and Ardie Savia

2091
01:47:00,827 --> 01:47:03,907
Speaker 2: was leading me out, you know, and I saw that

2092
01:47:04,027 --> 01:47:08,587
Speaker 2: big number eight on his back leading us all out

2093
01:47:08,627 --> 01:47:11,547
Speaker 2: onto that field, I would just do whatever I possibly

2094
01:47:11,627 --> 01:47:15,107
Speaker 2: could to not disappoint him, because you know he's going

2095
01:47:15,187 --> 01:47:17,947
Speaker 2: to throw his body into it. And funnily enough, the

2096
01:47:18,027 --> 01:47:20,067
Speaker 2: win that they had over the Hurricanes came when Ardie

2097
01:47:20,067 --> 01:47:22,467
Speaker 2: Saville went off at halftime, so that could have been

2098
01:47:22,507 --> 01:47:24,547
Speaker 2: a huge blow from Winer PACIFICA. But the way they

2099
01:47:24,587 --> 01:47:27,507
Speaker 2: lifted their game in the second half that day, I

2100
01:47:27,587 --> 01:47:31,667
Speaker 2: think miracle for LINGI got a hat trick. It shows

2101
01:47:31,747 --> 01:47:33,387
Speaker 2: that they are more than just a one man team.

2102
01:47:33,427 --> 01:47:38,067
Speaker 2: But he is integral to them in terms of their points.

2103
01:47:38,107 --> 01:47:42,987
Speaker 2: Scoring more on a Pacifica. It got their scores. They

2104
01:47:43,067 --> 01:47:46,987
Speaker 2: lost forty five forty four to the Force, they lost

2105
01:47:47,067 --> 01:47:50,547
Speaker 2: fifty six thirty six to the Reds, they lost thirty

2106
01:47:50,627 --> 01:47:54,307
Speaker 2: one twenty nine to the Highlanders. They beat the Hurricanes

2107
01:47:54,387 --> 01:47:57,587
Speaker 2: forty thirty one and even when they had fifty pot

2108
01:47:57,627 --> 01:48:00,227
Speaker 2: on them last week by the Chiefs, they scored thirty

2109
01:48:00,307 --> 01:48:05,307
Speaker 2: five points. So in their five games, scoring points has

2110
01:48:05,387 --> 01:48:07,667
Speaker 2: not been an issue. Been leaking them. At the other end,

2111
01:48:08,187 --> 01:48:10,707
Speaker 2: they're truly the entertainers and even though they are bottom,

2112
01:48:10,787 --> 01:48:13,307
Speaker 2: it's been just said, you know, they've got a bit

2113
01:48:13,387 --> 01:48:15,507
Speaker 2: more about them. I'm not saying they'll beat the Crusaders.

2114
01:48:15,587 --> 01:48:17,907
Speaker 2: Look from Walingtonian's point of view, I hope they do.

2115
01:48:19,267 --> 01:48:21,307
Speaker 2: I think we all outside of christ here choke that

2116
01:48:21,387 --> 01:48:24,587
Speaker 2: Mauana Pacifica beat the Crusaders tonight. I just can't see it.

2117
01:48:24,707 --> 01:48:26,827
Speaker 2: The form that the Crusaders are in the way they

2118
01:48:26,867 --> 01:48:29,547
Speaker 2: played last week against the Blues, and just the roster

2119
01:48:29,667 --> 01:48:31,987
Speaker 2: that they have at their disposal, I can't see it.

2120
01:48:32,427 --> 01:48:35,867
Speaker 2: But funny things happen. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eight.

2121
01:48:35,867 --> 01:48:38,027
Speaker 2: If you want to jump aboard nine two ninety two

2122
01:48:38,227 --> 01:48:41,187
Speaker 2: on text. We've had a wicket in Napier. Spent a

2123
01:48:41,227 --> 01:48:45,107
Speaker 2: long time coming for Pakistan, but they've finally picked up

2124
01:48:45,147 --> 01:48:48,707
Speaker 2: the wicket of Daryl Mitchell, who has been dismissed for

2125
01:48:48,987 --> 01:48:52,827
Speaker 2: seventy six. So I'll do the sums on the partnership

2126
01:48:52,827 --> 01:48:56,147
Speaker 2: if I can. One hundred and ninety nine run partnership.

2127
01:48:57,187 --> 01:49:00,667
Speaker 2: Chapman and Mitchell came together at fifty for three. Mitchell

2128
01:49:00,707 --> 01:49:03,987
Speaker 2: out at two forty nine for four one hundred and

2129
01:49:04,067 --> 01:49:08,107
Speaker 2: ninety nine, added a new fourth wicket record in One

2130
01:49:08,187 --> 01:49:12,147
Speaker 2: Day internationals between New Zealand and Pakistan. The second of

2131
01:49:12,267 --> 01:49:14,987
Speaker 2: our debutants is out there for New Zealand, Muhammadabas out

2132
01:49:15,027 --> 01:49:17,227
Speaker 2: of Wellington, Nick Kelly the other one. He was out

2133
01:49:17,307 --> 01:49:20,107
Speaker 2: for fifteen earlier on. Chapman continues to go on as

2134
01:49:20,187 --> 01:49:21,867
Speaker 2: mary Way one hundred and seven not out of one

2135
01:49:21,947 --> 01:49:24,227
Speaker 2: hundred and two. His highest one day score incidentallyst one

2136
01:49:24,307 --> 01:49:27,427
Speaker 2: twenty four. So with still the best part of eight

2137
01:49:27,467 --> 01:49:29,227
Speaker 2: overs to go, you think it'd give that a crack

2138
01:49:29,467 --> 01:49:31,147
Speaker 2: if he hangs around for a bit longer. We're back

2139
01:49:31,147 --> 01:49:32,827

2153
01:50:21,707 --> 01:50:24,787
Speaker 2: be a late flurry as others try to get there

2154
01:50:24,867 --> 01:50:27,747
Speaker 2: right at the end, Well, we'll find out from Benruth

Speaker 2: to go for it now two six four in the

2160
01:50:43,387 --> 01:50:48,787
Speaker 2: last over, and New Zealand now going along very very nicely. Indeed,

2161
01:50:49,147 --> 01:50:52,027
Speaker 2: thank you very much. Pakistan who sent them into bat

2162
01:50:52,867 --> 01:50:55,747
Speaker 2: would have been buoyant at fifty for three. Not so much.

2163
01:50:55,867 --> 01:50:55,987
Speaker 5: Now.

2164
01:50:56,267 --> 01:51:00,707
Speaker 2: I'll just give you the latest score two hundred and

2165
01:51:00,987 --> 01:51:04,427
Speaker 2: seventy three for four two seventy three for four to

2166
01:51:04,627 --> 01:51:07,947
Speaker 2: seventy four for four in the At the end of

2167
01:51:07,947 --> 01:51:09,667
Speaker 2: the forty third overs are still seven overs to go.

2168
01:51:09,787 --> 01:51:12,387
Speaker 2: Chapmane hundred and twenty six not out and Mahmadabus there

2169
01:51:12,427 --> 01:51:15,747
Speaker 2: on four man seven overs. They go at ten's they

2170
01:51:15,787 --> 01:51:18,387
Speaker 2: could get up to close to three point fifty if

2171
01:51:18,427 --> 01:51:20,427
Speaker 2: Mark Chapman stays there and he doesn't look in any

2172
01:51:20,507 --> 01:51:23,067
Speaker 2: mood to slow down. If anything, it's the opposite anyway,

2173
01:51:23,107 --> 01:51:25,027
Speaker 2: We'll keep eyes on that for you. Quick word from

2174
01:51:25,067 --> 01:51:27,947
Speaker 2: the Wellington Phoenix camp. They take on Western Sydney this

2175
01:51:28,107 --> 01:51:31,707
Speaker 2: afternoon five o'clock kick off at Sky Stadium. Josh Olloway Emmy,

2176
01:51:32,227 --> 01:51:36,307
Speaker 2: their English goalkeeper, is back into the side, largely because

2177
01:51:36,747 --> 01:51:40,987
Speaker 2: young KeyWe Lbie Kelly Healed has suffered a shoulder injury

2178
01:51:41,027 --> 01:51:44,507
Speaker 2: which will end his season. Spoke briefly to Josh Olloway

2179
01:51:44,587 --> 01:51:46,227
Speaker 2: me during the week asked how tough it's been for

2180
01:51:46,387 --> 01:51:49,227
Speaker 2: him being out of the starting side as a goalkeeper.

2181
01:51:49,987 --> 01:51:50,427
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was.

2182
01:51:50,547 --> 01:51:53,307
Speaker 15: Of course it was tough. Anyone who says that it

2183
01:51:53,547 --> 01:51:55,827
Speaker 15: was a walk in the park is probably lying. You know,

2184
01:51:56,067 --> 01:51:59,827
Speaker 15: So it was tough, but it was a refining period,

2185
01:52:00,787 --> 01:52:02,787
Speaker 15: a period where I can step back and see things,

2186
01:52:02,867 --> 01:52:04,147
Speaker 15: and that's where I took it.

2187
01:52:04,587 --> 01:52:07,107
Speaker 2: What sort of things did you step back and see?

2188
01:52:08,267 --> 01:52:10,747
Speaker 15: No, just like team dynamics, when you're able to see

2189
01:52:10,787 --> 01:52:15,347
Speaker 15: it from outside the pitch, you know what players like

2190
01:52:15,467 --> 01:52:17,387
Speaker 15: and are good at, and like just the nature of

2191
01:52:17,427 --> 01:52:20,027
Speaker 15: football as well. It's a different thing watching it from

2192
01:52:20,387 --> 01:52:23,107
Speaker 15: the sidelines, you know. And you know, some people can

2193
01:52:23,147 --> 01:52:25,667
Speaker 15: take it as the end of the world, or you

2194
01:52:25,747 --> 01:52:28,747
Speaker 15: can take it as a refining time to pick up

2195
01:52:28,827 --> 01:52:31,187
Speaker 15: things you wouldn't be able to see in the ficker

2196
01:52:31,227 --> 01:52:32,067
Speaker 15: of the action, you know.

2197
01:52:32,587 --> 01:52:34,667
Speaker 2: Just guse. It's the tragedy of Church and being a goalkeeper,

2198
01:52:34,707 --> 01:52:36,187
Speaker 2: but an outfield player, they might not have been a

2199
01:52:36,227 --> 01:52:38,067
Speaker 2: starting eleven, but they might get a crack off the bench,

2200
01:52:38,387 --> 01:52:40,907
Speaker 2: unlikely for a goalkeeper at least there's an injury obviously,

2201
01:52:41,187 --> 01:52:43,587
Speaker 2: So how did you keep yourself motivated? We can week

2202
01:52:43,667 --> 01:52:46,227
Speaker 2: out and help to encourage Elbie when he was between

2203
01:52:46,267 --> 01:52:46,667
Speaker 2: the sticks.

2204
01:52:46,907 --> 01:52:50,627
Speaker 15: Yeah, well I'll be when I was playing, was very,

2205
01:52:50,787 --> 01:52:55,467
Speaker 15: very encouraging and very he was very supportive. So even

2206
01:52:55,547 --> 01:52:59,027
Speaker 15: regardless of that, with how I aim to be, that

2207
01:52:59,187 --> 01:53:02,227
Speaker 15: is something that regardless of what position I'm in, the

2208
01:53:02,387 --> 01:53:07,387
Speaker 15: personality old show would be to encourage you, whether's as

2209
01:53:07,427 --> 01:53:09,307
Speaker 15: a person and as a teammate as well.

2210
01:53:09,627 --> 01:53:11,587
Speaker 2: And how do you stay sharp? Because you can be

2211
01:53:11,627 --> 01:53:13,667
Speaker 2: an against sudden you're saying made a number of good saves,

2212
01:53:14,067 --> 01:53:15,987
Speaker 2: but you hadn't been playing, So how do you stay

2213
01:53:16,507 --> 01:53:18,987
Speaker 2: match sharp as a goalkeepers?

2214
01:53:19,307 --> 01:53:20,827
Speaker 5: It's more so in your head really.

2215
01:53:21,747 --> 01:53:25,147
Speaker 15: Physically they were it was still a bit of a

2216
01:53:25,187 --> 01:53:28,027
Speaker 15: struggle with that game physically, but mentally you just have

2217
01:53:28,187 --> 01:53:32,587
Speaker 15: to stay extra concentrated, focused on the little things as well,

2218
01:53:32,667 --> 01:53:35,027
Speaker 15: and just it's how you approach the game really.

2219
01:53:35,667 --> 01:53:38,147
Speaker 2: And you probably would never have watched New Zealand play

2220
01:53:38,187 --> 01:53:40,067
Speaker 2: football before you came here. But did you have an

2221
01:53:40,107 --> 01:53:42,627
Speaker 2: eye on your your Phoenix team match and the All

2222
01:53:42,667 --> 01:53:43,747
Speaker 2: Whites over the last week or so?

2223
01:53:43,947 --> 01:53:47,147
Speaker 15: Yeah, I went to the game and it was fun

2224
01:53:47,187 --> 01:53:50,547
Speaker 15: to watch it from watch it from the crowd. A

2225
01:53:50,587 --> 01:53:54,347
Speaker 15: lot of a lot of my teammates were doing absolutely tremendous,

2226
01:53:54,467 --> 01:53:54,627
Speaker 15: you know.

2227
01:53:54,867 --> 01:53:57,387
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was good and wished.

2228
01:53:57,547 --> 01:53:59,947
Speaker 2: Certainly the highest scoring team in the A League, so

2229
01:54:00,547 --> 01:54:03,067
Speaker 2: expecting a busy time on Saturday.

2230
01:54:03,387 --> 01:54:03,587
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2231
01:54:03,667 --> 01:54:07,307
Speaker 15: I'm trying to approach every game with the same mentality,

2232
01:54:08,107 --> 01:54:10,867
Speaker 15: whether it's a team that doesn't have that record or not.

2233
01:54:11,027 --> 01:54:13,707
Speaker 15: On the day it can be completely different or it

2234
01:54:13,747 --> 01:54:16,907
Speaker 15: could be the same. So our whole team's going to

2235
01:54:16,947 --> 01:54:18,987
Speaker 15: bring our a game and I'm sure they will bring

2236
01:54:19,467 --> 01:54:23,387
Speaker 15: their a game, so yeah, it'll be a good, good match.

2237
01:54:23,627 --> 01:54:26,227
Speaker 2: That's the voice of Josh Olaway. Emmy restored to the

2238
01:54:26,307 --> 01:54:29,747
Speaker 2: Wellington Phoenix starting side. He was there last time against Sydney.

2239
01:54:29,747 --> 01:54:32,667
Speaker 2: I've seen a confidence building one old draw Western Sydney,

2240
01:54:32,787 --> 01:54:37,867
Speaker 2: the competition's highest goal scoring team. His opposition and that

2241
01:54:37,987 --> 01:54:40,347
Speaker 2: of the Wellington Phoenix later on this afternoon five o'clock

2242
01:54:40,587 --> 01:54:42,987
Speaker 2: kick off. Mark Chapman, I've completely jinxed him. He's out,

2243
01:54:43,507 --> 01:54:45,787
Speaker 2: but not before he smashed one hundred and thirty two

2244
01:54:46,227 --> 01:54:49,227
Speaker 2: of one hundred and eleven balls, thirteen fours and six

2245
01:54:49,747 --> 01:54:53,467
Speaker 2: sixers for Mark Chapman, his highest One Day international score.

2246
01:54:53,867 --> 01:54:57,587
Speaker 2: He's departed for one thirty two. Muhammed Abbas is out there,

2247
01:54:57,667 --> 01:55:01,147
Speaker 2: joined by his captain and Wellington teammate Michael Bracewell two

2248
01:55:01,307 --> 01:55:05,747
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty for five midway through the forty fourth over,

2249
01:55:05,827 --> 01:55:08,907
Speaker 2: so still score on the cards. If Michael brace Walll

2250
01:55:08,907 --> 01:55:11,387
Speaker 2: can get going, we know what a potent striker of

2251
01:55:11,427 --> 01:55:14,027
Speaker 2: the ball he can be. Let's take a break. When

2252
01:55:14,027 --> 01:55:16,867
Speaker 2: we come back, we'll find out how much Sam Ruth's

2259
01:55:33,867 --> 01:55:36,027
Speaker 2: Two forty five. You might remember a week ago on

2260
01:55:36,147 --> 01:55:39,547
Speaker 2: the show we spoke to Ben Ruth, dad of Sam Ruth,

2261
01:55:39,627 --> 01:55:42,267
Speaker 2: who had just become the youngest ever person to run

2262
01:55:42,347 --> 01:55:45,227
Speaker 2: a subformant mile, and Ben at that time told us

2263
01:55:45,227 --> 01:55:48,707
Speaker 2: about the trade me auction that they were getting under

2264
01:55:48,747 --> 01:55:52,587
Speaker 2: way a week or so ago, with Sam's historic sub

2265
01:55:52,707 --> 01:55:57,707
Speaker 2: formanut mile shoes going up for auction and bidding, it

2266
01:55:57,747 --> 01:56:00,387
Speaker 2: would be fair to say has got to a very

2267
01:56:00,867 --> 01:56:03,467
Speaker 2: impressive level. Now, if you know trade me auctions, you'll

2268
01:56:03,507 --> 01:56:06,267
Speaker 2: know that if there's a bid made within two minutes

2269
01:56:06,507 --> 01:56:09,547
Speaker 2: of the closing time, then it auto extends by a

2270
01:56:09,587 --> 01:56:12,387
Speaker 2: couple of minutes. Well, I think it's within thirty seconds anyway,

2271
01:56:12,587 --> 01:56:16,067
Speaker 2: it can auto extend. But I believe that bidding has

2272
01:56:16,227 --> 01:56:19,587
Speaker 2: finally closed after a bit of a flurry of late activity.

2273
01:56:19,667 --> 01:56:22,707
Speaker 2: Two forty was the time that it was scheduled to close.

2274
01:56:22,787 --> 01:56:25,867
Speaker 2: It's now approaching two forty six. Ben Ruth is with us.

2275
01:56:26,227 --> 01:56:27,587
Speaker 2: Have we got a final number? Ben?

2276
01:56:28,947 --> 01:56:29,187
Speaker 8: We do?

2277
01:56:29,507 --> 01:56:29,707
Speaker 14: We do.

2278
01:56:29,947 --> 01:56:33,187
Speaker 16: We've got eleven four hundred and eight dollars, which is

2279
01:56:33,427 --> 01:56:36,867
Speaker 16: just unbelievable. It's it just means so much, and what

2280
01:56:36,987 --> 01:56:39,227
Speaker 16: an exciting flurry at the end there, And thanks everybody

Speaker 2: four hundred and eight dollars. Did you have any any expectation,

2292
01:57:13,067 --> 01:57:15,467
Speaker 2: any goal in mind when you when you put the

2293
01:57:15,547 --> 01:57:17,787
Speaker 2: shoes on, trade me been or did you just sort

2294
01:57:17,787 --> 01:57:19,947
Speaker 2: of put them on and thick to yourself, Let's see

2295
01:57:19,987 --> 01:57:20,467
Speaker 2: how it goes.

2296
01:57:21,227 --> 01:57:21,747
Speaker 7: Do you know what?

2297
01:57:22,747 --> 01:57:24,827
Speaker 16: Sam? Sam and I were talking. He was like, oh,

2298
01:57:24,907 --> 01:57:28,867
Speaker 16: you know, I'm just so lucky to have Craig and Sam.

2299
01:57:29,027 --> 01:57:32,987
Speaker 16: And then he came up with this idea of letting

2300
01:57:33,067 --> 01:57:36,187
Speaker 16: go of his shoes and putting them up. And I think, honestly,

2301
01:57:36,707 --> 01:57:38,107
Speaker 16: for a fifteen year old, if it'd got to a

2302
01:57:38,147 --> 01:57:39,987
Speaker 16: thousand dollars, that would have been mind boggling. And I

2303
01:57:39,987 --> 01:57:41,867
Speaker 16: think those first couple of birds once got to trouble

2304
01:57:41,867 --> 01:57:44,067
Speaker 16: for because it was it's just such a lot of

2305
01:57:44,107 --> 01:57:48,307
Speaker 16: money and the fact that can go to Craig and

2306
01:57:48,467 --> 01:57:51,747
Speaker 16: Sam and the group. You know, Craig Kirkwood has just

2307
01:57:52,147 --> 01:57:54,187
Speaker 16: so many incredible athletes kind of camp. Just one of

2308
01:57:54,187 --> 01:57:57,867
Speaker 16: New Zealand Secrety School's triathlon just two days ago, which

2309
01:57:57,947 --> 01:58:02,787
Speaker 16: was unbelievable. We've just got an Finley Oliver in New

2310
01:58:02,867 --> 01:58:06,147
Speaker 16: Zealand twenty triathlon champs Craig's athlete as well, and a

2311
01:58:06,187 --> 01:58:08,427
Speaker 16: lot of these younger athletes don't get the full access

2312
01:58:08,507 --> 01:58:13,147
Speaker 16: to physio, strength and conditioning programs. Things like that are

2313
01:58:13,187 --> 01:58:17,267
Speaker 16: back in action. The Interville works with Craig and there's

2314
01:58:17,307 --> 01:58:19,187
Speaker 16: younger athletes, but just being able to help them out

2315
01:58:19,227 --> 01:58:21,707
Speaker 16: with those sorts of things, getting to events, all that

2316
01:58:21,787 --> 01:58:24,587
Speaker 16: sort of. I mean, this is just incredible. What difference

2317
01:58:24,627 --> 01:58:25,307
Speaker 16: this is going to make.

2318
01:58:25,587 --> 01:58:29,027
Speaker 2: Absolutely terrific. Look whoever, so, whoever Dragon is, that's obviously

2319
01:58:29,467 --> 01:58:31,947
Speaker 2: a trade meet buyer name. I don't know. I mean

2320
01:58:31,987 --> 01:58:35,267
Speaker 2: you've probably thought about this, But those shoes in years

2321
01:58:35,347 --> 01:58:38,267
Speaker 2: to come, once we see how Sam's career plays out,

2322
01:58:38,347 --> 01:58:39,827
Speaker 2: could be worth a heck of a lot more than

2323
01:58:40,227 --> 01:58:43,307
Speaker 2: eleven and a half thousand, so a good investment by

2324
01:58:43,387 --> 01:58:46,587
Speaker 2: that particular trade meet. But I know you're in Melbourne

2325
01:58:46,587 --> 01:58:49,427
Speaker 2: at the moment, Ben, because Sam is running tonight in

2326
01:58:49,907 --> 01:58:53,387
Speaker 2: a pretty stacked fifteen hundred meter field at the Moray

2327
01:58:53,547 --> 01:58:56,987
Speaker 2: Plant Meat in Melbourne. It's sold out, first time a

2328
01:58:57,067 --> 01:58:59,827
Speaker 2: track and field meet has sold out in Australia since

2329
01:58:59,907 --> 01:59:02,027
Speaker 2: two thousand and one. Can you tell us about the

2330
01:59:02,187 --> 01:59:05,787
Speaker 2: company that Sam and the other Sam Tanner are in tonight?

2331
01:59:07,347 --> 01:59:10,187
Speaker 16: Yeah, can I just you know, I was obviously involved

2332
01:59:10,227 --> 01:59:12,067
Speaker 16: in track and field in two thousand and one. I

2333
01:59:12,387 --> 01:59:14,387
Speaker 16: was running back then, and there was a Sydney Olympics,

2334
01:59:14,427 --> 01:59:16,787
Speaker 16: and so twenty twenty one, when athletics meets were selling

2335
01:59:16,827 --> 01:59:22,187
Speaker 16: out in Australia was probably peak athletic entertainment in Australia.

2336
01:59:22,267 --> 01:59:24,747
Speaker 16: And the fact that now Australia has got a fully

2337
01:59:24,827 --> 01:59:28,387
Speaker 16: sold out meat. We've got Gout, gout that Australian his

2338
01:59:28,547 --> 01:59:32,587
Speaker 16: seventeen year old now running sensation that broke the Australian

2339
01:59:32,627 --> 01:59:35,667
Speaker 16: Tour undred meter open men's record, and it's challenging about bolt.

2340
01:59:36,107 --> 01:59:40,467
Speaker 16: He's the last race at what was it? It will

2341
01:59:40,507 --> 01:59:43,827
Speaker 16: be ten forty New Zealand time at ten twenty eight

2342
01:59:44,067 --> 01:59:47,787
Speaker 16: the New Zealand time. Sam and Sam Tanner are racing together.

2343
01:59:47,987 --> 01:59:50,667
Speaker 16: And in that field you've got the Commas Games gold

2344
01:59:50,707 --> 01:59:54,787
Speaker 16: midist Olihare. You've got Peter Bowle who came fourth on

2345
01:59:54,827 --> 01:59:57,227
Speaker 16: the Olympic Games in the eight hundred meters. You've got

2346
01:59:57,307 --> 02:00:00,427
Speaker 16: Cam Myers who set the world under twenty mile record

2347
02:00:00,547 --> 02:00:03,627
Speaker 16: at three forty eight, which is just unbelievable. And you've

2348
02:00:03,627 --> 02:00:05,947
Speaker 16: got nine there are nine guys that have run three

2349
02:00:05,947 --> 02:00:08,427
Speaker 16: to thirty four for fifteen hundred or equivalent for the mile.

2350
02:00:09,067 --> 02:00:12,387
Speaker 16: And that's to put that in perspective. Those nine people,

2351
02:00:12,427 --> 02:00:14,827
Speaker 16: if all run a time, that's about fifty meters ahead

2352
02:00:14,907 --> 02:00:17,827
Speaker 16: half the home straight ahead of what Sam's personal beast is,

2353
02:00:17,827 --> 02:00:19,427
Speaker 16: which is the world record for a fifteen year old.

2354
02:00:19,827 --> 02:00:22,987
Speaker 16: So he's the youngest in the entire meeting and he's

2355
02:00:23,027 --> 02:00:25,427
Speaker 16: just going to be hanging on for dear life for

2356
02:00:25,507 --> 02:00:27,027
Speaker 16: as long as he can. So it's just going to

2357
02:00:27,027 --> 02:00:29,987
Speaker 16: be hold on and go and he's going to roll

2358
02:00:29,987 --> 02:00:30,427
Speaker 16: the dice and.

2359
02:00:30,427 --> 02:00:30,947
Speaker 9: Give it a shot.

2360
02:00:31,547 --> 02:00:34,547
Speaker 2: What an experience for him though, Well, I mean you

2361
02:00:34,707 --> 02:00:37,667
Speaker 2: talked last week about and so did Nick Willis when

2362
02:00:37,707 --> 02:00:41,347
Speaker 2: we spoke to him about what might lie ahead for Sam,

2363
02:00:41,427 --> 02:00:43,587
Speaker 2: and you talked about getting him into quality fields and

2364
02:00:43,667 --> 02:00:46,707
Speaker 2: quality race as well. This is high quality stuff, isn't it.

2365
02:00:48,227 --> 02:00:50,827
Speaker 16: This is literally the like in terms of the event

2366
02:00:50,907 --> 02:00:52,787
Speaker 16: being sold out, that's unbelievable. But in terms of the

2367
02:00:52,787 --> 02:00:55,347
Speaker 16: actual field, I haven't seen a field like this in

2368
02:00:55,507 --> 02:00:59,427
Speaker 16: Australasia in a decade. And so he's jumping up. You know,

2369
02:00:59,507 --> 02:01:02,507
Speaker 16: he ran he's on under sixteen secondary schools in December

2370
02:01:03,107 --> 02:01:05,107
Speaker 16: and now he's racing in the greatest field in a

2371
02:01:05,147 --> 02:01:09,867
Speaker 16: decade in Australia. It's a hell of a learning it's

2372
02:01:09,907 --> 02:01:12,707
Speaker 16: a hell of a learning curve. But what an awesome

2373
02:01:12,947 --> 02:01:15,347
Speaker 16: event to be part of. And whatever whatever happens, the

2374
02:01:15,667 --> 02:01:17,867
Speaker 16: learning and the knowledge you gain and the preparation and

2375
02:01:17,987 --> 02:01:20,107
Speaker 16: just being learning to be comfortable in those environments, it

2376
02:01:20,267 --> 02:01:21,987
Speaker 16: just it means that you can step up to the

2377
02:01:22,027 --> 02:01:22,747
Speaker 16: next level later on.

2378
02:01:23,387 --> 02:01:25,827
