1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Sport now, Darcy's here. Hey Darcy, it's reassuring. I know, right, Hey,

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Super Rugby is the Player of the Year award going

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: to save rugby union.

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: I think the first thing to do is come up

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: with a name. They're basing this on Deli m one

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: of the legendary awards in Australian rugby league and Deli

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: Messenger is one of the superstars, right, So find the name.

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: Don't just call it player of the Year. I mean, really,

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: you want to engage, you want to make people excited,

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: give it a name. I'm not saying John like a

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: proper name. I can't work out what's I immediately to

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: something yeah like that. But then, as rightly pointed out

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: by Clay Wilson, Director of Sport at CB, goes, well,

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: it's kind of trans tasmic competition. Darcy can't name it

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: after a New Zealander. True, ah, and there's the Fijians

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: and there's more on a pussy figure.

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: But what is the point It says it's going to

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: drive fan engagement? Is that really going to happen? I

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: mean it's a.

20
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: Nice catchphrase, isn't it. Look the whole idea? Is it

21
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: something that you keep abreast with on social media. So

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: at the end of each the opposition captain and coach

23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: they nominate their three best players on the opposition side

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: give them three two one points respectively. That totals up

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: so through the year you can see your favorite play.

26
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: How well are they going? This was stop laughing at.

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: This was explained to me earlier. It's like man of

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: the match or something when you're a kid when you're

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: playing rugby. But they're doing it on Twitter.

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not entirely sure. If you get a fast

31
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: food voucher, I don't know of prestige, they'll have a

32
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: big end of yet, Like I know that most professional

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: sports people they play to win major tournaments. They don't

34
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: really care about gongs. No, you know, I want to medal.

35
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 2: I want to compete at the hirest Leave and it's

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: very lovely end of the end, we'll get to dress

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: up and here you go, here you go, here's your

38
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: here's your certificate. Yeah, trying something. What gets me that

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: I was being told by Super Rugby Pacific that there

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: was a new competition coming up. It's a fantasy based composition,

41
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 2: which are very big all over the world, and I like, hey,

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: we're starting soon. Where's the competition. We're right in the

43
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: shadow of the start of the tournament, and where's the competition.

44
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: Hey, men's and women's basketball teams will play their Ossie equivalents.

45
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: Listen a three game series in May.

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: That's on the seventh and the ninth and the eleventh.

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Adelaide and Sunshine Coast got the first two games and

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: then Hamilton has got the third or the fifth and

49
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: the sixth game, so they're double headers, both the Opals

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: and the Boomers taking on the Tall Ferns and the

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: Tall Blacks. And then they do it across three events.

52
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: And the thing about this is they're trying to obviously

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: promote basketball. It's outside of a FEEB window, so it

54
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: doesn't mean points when it comes to internationals. What they're

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: doing is they're trying to re encourage this trans Tasmin

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: competition because basketball's on the up and up, and they

57
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: want to reach out and say you can what they say,

58
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: if you can't see them, you don't want to be them.

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: They want their stars playing in their backyard. Thing is fantastic.

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: Giving it a name, I'm really going to go with that.

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: I don't really matters.

62
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: We can't name everything, Darcy.

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: No, no, we can't.

64
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Hey, I went and bought a basketball on the weekend,

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: haven't you haven't haven't touched a basketball since I was

66
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: probably at high school.

67
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: We're quite tall, so normally you would get that, wouldn't you,

68
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: Although not that, or you'd be a you wouldn't be

69
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: a center, you'd be a point guard.

70
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: Something. Got a hoop, But there's a hoop around near

71
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: my house. It's on the back of a school, so

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: I go and use it in the evening. It's great fun, fantastic,

73
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of exercise, not too much, you know,

74
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: a bit of concentration, a bit of joy.

75
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: When you get the.

76
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: Because all the kids rip the messing off, of course,

77
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: so they all need to put a chain one up there. Yeah,

78
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: there's no.

79
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: No a chain rattle all than anything. And Dylan Boucher
