Speaker 2: Hello there you, good afternoon, and welcome into Weekend Sport

Speaker 2: on News Talks. He'd be the Sunday edition for August tenth,

8
00:00:36,587 --> 00:00:39,347
Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Mighty Williams. Today he'll be in Argentina,

9
00:00:39,387 --> 00:00:41,307
Speaker 2: obviously with the all Black. So I'm Jason Pine. We're

10
00:00:41,347 --> 00:00:45,467
Speaker 2: here talking sport until three o'clock this afternoon. Wanted to

11
00:00:45,507 --> 00:00:48,827
Speaker 2: start though with an acknowledgment of the news that you

12
00:00:48,987 --> 00:00:52,507
Speaker 2: heard in our news at midday that two times Sailor

13
00:00:52,547 --> 00:00:57,307
Speaker 2: of the Year, former America's Cup tactician and extremely accomplished

14
00:00:57,427 --> 00:01:02,027
Speaker 2: TV sailing analyst Peter Lester passed away on Friday night

15
00:01:02,067 --> 00:01:06,347
Speaker 2: after suffering a heart attack a week earlier. Hugely successed

16
00:01:06,507 --> 00:01:11,307
Speaker 2: for career on the water, global triumphs and various boat classes,

17
00:01:11,907 --> 00:01:15,907
Speaker 2: three America's Cup campaigns, and then Peter Leicester became a

18
00:01:16,107 --> 00:01:20,547
Speaker 2: very popular expert voice on the sport of sailing, especially

19
00:01:20,547 --> 00:01:23,107
Speaker 2: with the America's Cup. Going to pay tribute after two

20
00:01:23,147 --> 00:01:26,987
Speaker 2: o'clock this afternoon with PJ Montgomery. Our thoughts and best

21
00:01:26,987 --> 00:01:30,187
Speaker 2: wishes with the friends and family of Peter Lester, one

22
00:01:30,227 --> 00:01:33,387
Speaker 2: of the greats of the sport of sailing on and

23
00:01:33,467 --> 00:01:37,467
Speaker 2: off the water. The Warriors have dropped out of the

24
00:01:37,587 --> 00:01:41,107
Speaker 2: NRL's top four for the first time since mid April,

25
00:01:41,467 --> 00:01:41,947
Speaker 2: but it's.

26
00:01:41,787 --> 00:01:46,387
Speaker 3: A convincing one to Canterbury feeding the Warriors by thirty

27
00:01:46,507 --> 00:01:47,587
Speaker 3: two points to.

28
00:01:47,467 --> 00:01:51,507
Speaker 2: Forty a very deflating night and a rain soaked and

29
00:01:51,547 --> 00:01:54,107
Speaker 2: sopping wet Sydney last night going down to the Bulldogs.

30
00:01:54,107 --> 00:01:57,427
Speaker 2: What I unpacked this with you and maybe not so

31
00:01:57,507 --> 00:01:59,747
Speaker 2: much last night, although we can dissect that. But the

32
00:01:59,787 --> 00:02:03,907
Speaker 2: next four games, the last four games of the regular season.

33
00:02:03,947 --> 00:02:07,307
Speaker 2: Are the Warriors still a top four propers d and

34
00:02:07,387 --> 00:02:11,107
Speaker 2: perhaps as importantly now, are they still a top eight side?

35
00:02:11,107 --> 00:02:14,307
Speaker 2: It seems a remarkable question to be asking given the

36
00:02:14,347 --> 00:02:17,627
Speaker 2: season I've had, But that is three straight defeats now

37
00:02:18,267 --> 00:02:20,987
Speaker 2: five losses in the last seven, and the table doesn't lie.

38
00:02:21,107 --> 00:02:25,027
Speaker 2: The Roosters, who are ninth, are just four points back

39
00:02:25,027 --> 00:02:28,387
Speaker 2: now four games to go, so eight points still up

40
00:02:28,387 --> 00:02:32,587
Speaker 2: for grabs. It would be such an enormous shame, wouldn't

41
00:02:32,587 --> 00:02:35,267
Speaker 2: it if the Warriors get dragged into a battle to

42
00:02:35,347 --> 00:02:37,787
Speaker 2: even make the top eight. Jake Juke out of Fox

43
00:02:37,827 --> 00:02:40,787
Speaker 2: Sports in a moment. Some postgame thoughts from Andrew Webster

44
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:43,467
Speaker 2: as well. It is your thoughts though and your analysis.

45
00:02:43,787 --> 00:02:46,707
Speaker 2: I'm keenest on lines open immediately and all hours are

46
00:02:46,907 --> 00:02:49,427
Speaker 2: all our, rather not all ours might be all ours,

47
00:02:49,507 --> 00:02:52,827
Speaker 2: but all this hour anyway on the Warriors. Other matters

48
00:02:52,827 --> 00:02:55,547
Speaker 2: around today. New Zealand rugby CEO Mark Robinson after one

49
00:02:56,267 --> 00:02:59,387
Speaker 2: chatting a range of issues from eligibility, the return of

50
00:02:59,467 --> 00:03:02,787
Speaker 2: Richie Moringer and the impending threat of rugby. Three to

51
00:03:02,987 --> 00:03:05,547
Speaker 2: sixty Black Ferns lose for Georgia Miller's on the show,

52
00:03:05,627 --> 00:03:07,987
Speaker 2: head of the teams to departure for the Rugby World Cup.

53
00:03:08,347 --> 00:03:11,227
Speaker 2: Flynn Cameron out of the tour Blacks after their third

54
00:03:11,227 --> 00:03:14,347
Speaker 2: straight win at basketball's Asian Cup this morning and a

55
00:03:14,547 --> 00:03:18,627
Speaker 2: very convincing when it was too, a forty point winning

56
00:03:18,667 --> 00:03:22,467
Speaker 2: margin of a Chinese Taipei. So what did they like

57
00:03:22,547 --> 00:03:24,427
Speaker 2: most about that? Going to break down the black Caps

58
00:03:24,507 --> 00:03:27,507
Speaker 2: demolition of Zimbabwe as well and ask what was really

59
00:03:27,547 --> 00:03:31,067
Speaker 2: achieved there going over there and playing what really amounted

60
00:03:31,107 --> 00:03:35,147
Speaker 2: to nothing more than a club site up against the

61
00:03:35,187 --> 00:03:37,467
Speaker 2: black Caps James mcconi in his regular slot as well,

62

85
00:04:56,107 --> 00:04:59,387

Speaker 2: Then you can take out one.

87
00:05:02,187 --> 00:05:04,347
Speaker 5: Trendis he said. He's the hands of.

88
00:05:04,267 --> 00:05:08,987
Speaker 2: A surgeon, the hands of surgeon. Indeed a convincing when

89
00:05:09,227 --> 00:05:13,427
Speaker 2: by the Bulldogs last night in very difficult conditions. Jake

90
00:05:13,907 --> 00:05:17,667
Speaker 2: Duke was on sideline commentary Your bull Bugger for Fox

91
00:05:17,787 --> 00:05:19,347
Speaker 2: last night. Have you dried out yet?

92
00:05:19,387 --> 00:05:19,787
Speaker 5: Mate?

93
00:05:20,467 --> 00:05:24,587
Speaker 6: I had to paddle home in my boat, Jase. It

94
00:05:24,667 --> 00:05:27,107
Speaker 6: was a tough one on the sideline last night, and

95
00:05:27,147 --> 00:05:30,067
Speaker 6: I got drenched the night before in Newcastle as well,

96
00:05:30,107 --> 00:05:32,307
Speaker 6: so I'm not having a good run. But in the

97
00:05:32,347 --> 00:05:35,667
Speaker 6: studio today for Fox League, so thankfully I will stay dry.

98
00:05:35,867 --> 00:05:37,027
Speaker 2: Good stuff last night?

99
00:05:37,067 --> 00:05:37,267
Speaker 5: Mate?

100
00:05:37,307 --> 00:05:39,747
Speaker 2: Did the score line reflect the game?

101
00:05:41,387 --> 00:05:44,707
Speaker 5: It's an interesting one, look it was.

102
00:05:45,507 --> 00:05:48,267
Speaker 6: It can't even recall because I was just so busy

103
00:05:48,347 --> 00:05:51,707
Speaker 6: trying to stay dry in that monsoon or conditions. But look,

104
00:05:51,747 --> 00:05:54,747
Speaker 6: you just have to think that the loss of Tomato

105
00:05:54,827 --> 00:05:58,467
Speaker 6: Martin early in that game just really threw the Warriors.

106
00:05:58,747 --> 00:06:01,267
Speaker 6: Obviously he copped a category one ha.

107
00:06:01,387 --> 00:06:03,187
Speaker 5: So you lose your.

108
00:06:03,027 --> 00:06:06,667
Speaker 6: Half back who's just come in to replace Tannaboid already

109
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:07,627
Speaker 6: lost Luke Metcalfe.

110
00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:09,827
Speaker 5: You know, it's just a.

111
00:06:09,747 --> 00:06:12,467
Speaker 6: Lot to overcome for the Warriors in terms of cohesion

112
00:06:12,467 --> 00:06:14,227
Speaker 6: in attack and Chanelle.

113
00:06:13,867 --> 00:06:16,867
Speaker 5: Harris Tavita was out last week back last night.

114
00:06:16,707 --> 00:06:19,147
Speaker 6: And I just think that you can see in their

115
00:06:19,147 --> 00:06:21,947
Speaker 6: attack last night it was just a bit shot after that,

116
00:06:22,107 --> 00:06:25,747
Speaker 6: and in those conditions, the Bulldogs kind of warmed down

117
00:06:25,827 --> 00:06:29,627
Speaker 6: and completed really well, just controlled field position and then

118
00:06:30,227 --> 00:06:32,907
Speaker 6: they're a good side and so they just piled on

119
00:06:32,947 --> 00:06:35,867
Speaker 6: the points. It's probably, you know, probably not an accurate

120
00:06:35,867 --> 00:06:37,947
Speaker 6: reflection of where the two teams are probably at.

121
00:06:38,027 --> 00:06:39,307
Speaker 5: But the Warriors at.

122
00:06:39,147 --> 00:06:41,827
Speaker 6: The moment just kind of in a bit of in

123
00:06:41,867 --> 00:06:44,387
Speaker 6: a bit of a slide, as I said, with all

124
00:06:44,387 --> 00:06:47,387
Speaker 6: those injuries and back to back losses at home and

125
00:06:47,427 --> 00:06:50,987
Speaker 6: now outside the top four, as you said, So look

126
00:06:50,987 --> 00:06:54,707
Speaker 6: it's it's tough, but there's still what four games to go,

127
00:06:55,387 --> 00:06:57,347
Speaker 6: so you know, you can you can write the ship

128
00:06:57,347 --> 00:06:58,947
Speaker 6: and kind of get things going, but they just got

129
00:06:58,947 --> 00:07:00,107
Speaker 6: to keep some players on the field.

130
00:07:00,227 --> 00:07:02,027
Speaker 2: Well that's said, doesn't it, Jake. You know, injuries have

131
00:07:02,107 --> 00:07:04,907
Speaker 2: been an absolute killer. The list was long anyway before

132
00:07:05,387 --> 00:07:08,627
Speaker 2: to Mighty Martin went down last night Like you don't

133
00:07:08,627 --> 00:07:10,787
Speaker 2: want to make excuses, right because rugby league is a

134
00:07:10,787 --> 00:07:14,027
Speaker 2: game where injuries are effective life. But is it in

135
00:07:14,067 --> 00:07:17,107
Speaker 2: some ways an explanation at least for what's going on

136
00:07:17,147 --> 00:07:18,187
Speaker 2: at the Warriors right now?

137
00:07:19,267 --> 00:07:23,107
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course, Like you don't lose quality players like

138
00:07:23,147 --> 00:07:27,347
Speaker 6: as I said, look at Luke Metcalfe, a Mitch Barnett obviously.

139
00:07:27,107 --> 00:07:27,707
Speaker 5: James Fisher.

140
00:07:27,747 --> 00:07:31,507
Speaker 6: Harris has missed some time as well, Like, you don't

141
00:07:31,547 --> 00:07:34,747
Speaker 6: lose quality players like that, and you know, things just

142
00:07:35,227 --> 00:07:37,547
Speaker 6: work for you. We've seen some teams have some really

143
00:07:37,587 --> 00:07:40,427
Speaker 6: bad injury tolls across the season, but I think the Warriors,

144
00:07:40,747 --> 00:07:42,187
Speaker 6: of all the teams that were kind of in that

145
00:07:42,347 --> 00:07:46,507
Speaker 6: race for the premiership, they've probably been hit hardest, losing

146
00:07:46,907 --> 00:07:51,627
Speaker 6: you know, key spine players and rep forwards and as

147
00:07:51,627 --> 00:07:54,907
Speaker 6: I said, even backup halves. Now, so yeah, they probably

148
00:07:54,947 --> 00:07:55,747
Speaker 6: had the toughest run.

149
00:07:55,827 --> 00:07:57,387
Speaker 5: The Warriors. You've got to feel for them.

150
00:07:57,387 --> 00:08:00,987
Speaker 6: Because it was shaping is a really promising season and

151
00:08:01,267 --> 00:08:03,227
Speaker 6: a kind of real surprise season when you know, not

152
00:08:03,227 --> 00:08:04,667
Speaker 6: many people gave them a chance at the start of

153
00:08:04,707 --> 00:08:07,627
Speaker 6: the year when they had guys like Shaw Johnson retire

154
00:08:07,667 --> 00:08:10,307
Speaker 6: and then Toho Harris retire on the on the beginning

155
00:08:10,307 --> 00:08:11,867
Speaker 6: of it, right before the beginning of the season. So

156
00:08:12,787 --> 00:08:15,867
Speaker 6: they've done fantastically well, and as I said, it's not

157
00:08:15,907 --> 00:08:18,387
Speaker 6: over yet. You've got to regroup and find your kind

158
00:08:18,387 --> 00:08:21,427
Speaker 6: of rhythm and how it looks with those new guys

159
00:08:21,467 --> 00:08:24,707
Speaker 6: in those new positions obviously won't help. Now the Tomato

160
00:08:24,827 --> 00:08:27,187
Speaker 6: mut and he'll be a Category one, so he'll be

161
00:08:27,307 --> 00:08:31,267
Speaker 6: ruled out for their class against the Dragons on Friday,

162
00:08:31,307 --> 00:08:35,267
Speaker 6: I think it is. So yeah, you've got to get

163
00:08:35,267 --> 00:08:39,747
Speaker 6: a regroup and maybe recall Tannaboyd, Chanelle Harris Devita there

164
00:08:39,867 --> 00:08:43,707
Speaker 6: and maybe just get some direction right now.

165
00:08:44,107 --> 00:08:46,467
Speaker 2: The conditions were terrible, but the Bulldogs were good. Went

166
00:08:46,587 --> 00:08:48,467
Speaker 2: they were What did you make of their performance?

167
00:08:48,947 --> 00:08:50,227
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Bulldogs were really good.

168
00:08:50,347 --> 00:08:52,827
Speaker 6: I think they've obviously had a bit of a rocket

169
00:08:52,867 --> 00:08:55,547
Speaker 6: up them since that disappointing loss to the Tigers, and

170
00:08:55,947 --> 00:08:57,707
Speaker 6: they said postgame that there's been a lot of talk

171
00:08:57,707 --> 00:08:59,427
Speaker 6: about people saying, oh, the Dogs can't play in a

172
00:08:59,467 --> 00:09:03,787
Speaker 6: wet because they've had a few probably shock upsets losses

173
00:09:03,907 --> 00:09:06,067
Speaker 6: this season in the wet. They got plumped by Brisbane

174
00:09:06,067 --> 00:09:07,747
Speaker 6: earlier in the year, and the Dolphins got him in

175
00:09:07,787 --> 00:09:11,107
Speaker 6: the wet, and then last week the Tigers got him

176
00:09:11,107 --> 00:09:12,947
Speaker 6: in the wet. So I think it was a real

177
00:09:12,987 --> 00:09:15,067
Speaker 6: concerted effort from them to kind of come out and

178
00:09:15,107 --> 00:09:17,387
Speaker 6: play really strong wet weather football.

179
00:09:17,747 --> 00:09:18,667
Speaker 5: You could see that they.

180
00:09:18,547 --> 00:09:23,147
Speaker 6: Can kind of control field position really well, completed really high.

181
00:09:23,267 --> 00:09:26,347
Speaker 6: Matt Burtons kicking game was unbelievable. That forty twenty kicked

182
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:29,667
Speaker 6: off and offload from the twenty and it basically went

183
00:09:29,667 --> 00:09:32,027
Speaker 6: out on their ten like it was just one of

184
00:09:32,067 --> 00:09:35,587
Speaker 6: the probably the best forty twenties I've ever seen snap decisions.

185
00:09:36,027 --> 00:09:38,027
Speaker 6: So they just, yeah, they just controlled everything from the

186
00:09:38,067 --> 00:09:40,827
Speaker 6: get go. But as I said, you know, with the Warriors,

187
00:09:41,147 --> 00:09:44,387
Speaker 6: I don't think they recovered from the fact that they

188
00:09:44,427 --> 00:09:46,027
Speaker 6: lost to morrow Mount and as we said, they're not.

189
00:09:46,067 --> 00:09:48,987
Speaker 6: They haven't been in good form and that doesn't help

190
00:09:48,987 --> 00:09:49,547
Speaker 6: when that happened.

191
00:09:49,547 --> 00:09:50,107
Speaker 5: Straight away.

192
00:09:50,747 --> 00:09:53,707
Speaker 2: We've been looking over the last month or so at

193
00:09:53,707 --> 00:09:56,227
Speaker 2: the pack behind the Warriors closing and on the top

194
00:09:56,307 --> 00:10:00,027
Speaker 2: four as we sit here today, Jake, they're on thirty points.

195
00:10:00,067 --> 00:10:02,707
Speaker 2: The Roosters, who are ninth, are on twenty six. The

196
00:10:02,707 --> 00:10:05,547
Speaker 2: Warriors couldn't fall out of the top eight, could they.

197
00:10:06,667 --> 00:10:08,827
Speaker 5: Look, obviously, it's possible. It is a bit of a

198
00:10:08,827 --> 00:10:11,027
Speaker 5: log gem there and some.

199
00:10:11,027 --> 00:10:13,267
Speaker 6: Of those teams like Cronulla and stuff have still got

200
00:10:13,267 --> 00:10:15,747
Speaker 6: to buy to come and we saw last night the

201
00:10:15,787 --> 00:10:19,307
Speaker 6: Roosters really put a really big advantage in therefore and

202
00:10:19,347 --> 00:10:22,067
Speaker 6: against beating the Dolphins. Wife I think it was sixty

203
00:10:22,067 --> 00:10:23,707
Speaker 6: odd by the end of at the end, I didn't

204
00:10:23,747 --> 00:10:27,227
Speaker 6: catch the end of the score. But yeah, there is

205
00:10:27,267 --> 00:10:29,667
Speaker 6: some teams right there in that pack. But you look

206
00:10:29,707 --> 00:10:33,147
Speaker 6: at Brisbane now that their injuries as well, considering Ezra

207
00:10:33,267 --> 00:10:37,347
Speaker 6: mam gorn So and Combo injured and then Adam Reynolds

208
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,147
Speaker 6: as well, so they've got some injury concerns. As I said,

209
00:10:40,187 --> 00:10:42,987
Speaker 6: the Sharks in and there it'sabouts and they've got to

210
00:10:42,987 --> 00:10:43,747
Speaker 6: buy it their sleeve.

211
00:10:43,787 --> 00:10:45,707
Speaker 5: They've got a bit of a softer run home.

212
00:10:47,347 --> 00:10:49,627
Speaker 6: The Dragons have put two together that most people probably

213
00:10:49,627 --> 00:10:52,347
Speaker 6: think they're out of contention, but if they keep.

214
00:10:52,187 --> 00:10:53,747
Speaker 5: Winning, they're still technically alive.

215
00:10:53,827 --> 00:10:56,947
Speaker 6: And then the Dolphins like after last night's lost, where

216
00:10:56,947 --> 00:10:59,667
Speaker 6: does that leave them? So it's a bit of a

217
00:10:59,707 --> 00:11:03,147
Speaker 6: mixed back in that kind of chasing pack behind the wise,

218
00:11:03,907 --> 00:11:06,307
Speaker 6: and I think it's just probably a few teams who's

219
00:11:06,347 --> 00:11:07,707
Speaker 6: going to get it right over the next three or

220
00:11:07,707 --> 00:11:08,307
Speaker 6: four weeks.

221
00:11:08,747 --> 00:11:10,907
Speaker 2: That's indeed, And as you say, it feels like the

222
00:11:10,947 --> 00:11:14,027
Speaker 2: top four is the top four now I don't know, Raiders, storm, dogs, Panthers.

223
00:11:14,027 --> 00:11:16,227
Speaker 2: That seems like that is the top four with the

224
00:11:16,267 --> 00:11:19,227
Speaker 2: others now scrapping away. So dragons, as you say, coming

225
00:11:19,227 --> 00:11:21,307
Speaker 2: to go medium ount smart on Friday night, How would

226
00:11:21,307 --> 00:11:23,267
Speaker 2: you be structuring the week if you're Andrew Webster.

227
00:11:25,027 --> 00:11:25,827
Speaker 5: Oh, look, I.

228
00:11:25,787 --> 00:11:28,227
Speaker 6: Think first of all, you've got to just settle on

229
00:11:28,267 --> 00:11:30,627
Speaker 6: your halves straight away. They've obviously got a bit of

230
00:11:30,667 --> 00:11:33,147
Speaker 6: a quick turnaround. Got to get home today and then

231
00:11:33,147 --> 00:11:35,867
Speaker 6: play Friday, I said. I imagine they won't train too much,

232
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:40,587
Speaker 6: probably only one field session, one major one and a

233
00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:43,547
Speaker 6: captain's run. So yeah, you've just got to settle on

234
00:11:43,627 --> 00:11:46,227
Speaker 6: your halves. I think it'd be interesting to see what

235
00:11:46,267 --> 00:11:49,027
Speaker 6: they go with Wade Egan is. Andrew Webster said last

236
00:11:49,067 --> 00:11:52,507
Speaker 6: week that the you know it's wear and tear on

237
00:11:52,547 --> 00:11:55,907
Speaker 6: that shoulder. It's not like something he needs surgery on.

238
00:11:55,987 --> 00:11:58,027
Speaker 6: He just is a guy that makes forty tackles a game.

239
00:11:58,107 --> 00:12:01,587
Speaker 6: So he's had the ac joint in issues. So he said,

240
00:12:01,587 --> 00:12:05,067
Speaker 6: it's kind of a week to week prospects. So see

241
00:12:05,107 --> 00:12:08,147
Speaker 6: what happens there. At Young Sam he played well and

242
00:12:08,187 --> 00:12:10,867
Speaker 6: then obviously James Fisher Harris was back last night. Having

243
00:12:10,947 --> 00:12:16,067
Speaker 6: him back for another week probably a big boost. But yeah,

244
00:12:16,227 --> 00:12:18,147
Speaker 6: it's interesting to see what they do.

245
00:12:19,787 --> 00:12:20,347
Speaker 5: With the halves.

246
00:12:20,347 --> 00:12:22,227
Speaker 6: I think you've probably got to recall Tannaboyd and just

247
00:12:22,227 --> 00:12:22,787
Speaker 6: go from there.

248
00:12:24,587 --> 00:12:26,707
Speaker 2: Again, the Panthers are going to win this again. They're

249
00:12:26,707 --> 00:12:27,427
Speaker 2: going to win it again.

250
00:12:28,147 --> 00:12:28,427
Speaker 7: They are.

251
00:12:29,547 --> 00:12:31,467
Speaker 5: It's a very very real possibility.

252
00:12:32,987 --> 00:12:35,747
Speaker 6: Look, as you said, they're into the top four now

253
00:12:35,787 --> 00:12:39,107
Speaker 6: and I don't see them kind of relinquishing that spot.

254
00:12:39,187 --> 00:12:41,707
Speaker 6: Although I do think they do have some hard games.

255
00:12:41,707 --> 00:12:44,147
Speaker 6: I think they've got to play Canberra and I think

256
00:12:44,227 --> 00:12:46,987
Speaker 6: they've got to play Melbourne. I could be wrong about that,

257
00:12:47,107 --> 00:12:49,587
Speaker 6: but I think they do have two hard games and

258
00:12:49,587 --> 00:12:50,187
Speaker 6: they run home.

259
00:12:50,347 --> 00:12:51,947
Speaker 2: You know you did, you did right both of those?

260
00:12:52,027 --> 00:12:52,107
Speaker 8: Ye?

261
00:12:52,427 --> 00:12:52,587
Speaker 7: Yep?

262
00:12:53,107 --> 00:12:55,787
Speaker 2: And the Bulldogs and the Bulldogs Bulldog Yeah, so there

263
00:12:55,827 --> 00:12:56,147
Speaker 2: you go.

264
00:12:56,307 --> 00:13:00,547
Speaker 5: Yes, So they've got some hard games, so you never know.

265
00:13:00,587 --> 00:13:01,347
Speaker 5: But as I said, the.

266
00:13:01,307 --> 00:13:04,107
Speaker 6: Guys high and them kind of keep falling away a

267
00:13:04,107 --> 00:13:06,707
Speaker 6: little bit with the team kind of.

268
00:13:06,707 --> 00:13:07,467
Speaker 5: Chasing that pack.

269
00:13:07,547 --> 00:13:09,587
Speaker 6: And obviously the Broncos have got injuries now and the

270
00:13:09,587 --> 00:13:12,347
Speaker 6: Warriors got injuries, so there is still an opportunity to

271
00:13:12,627 --> 00:13:15,227
Speaker 6: grab that full spot back because Penders will have some

272
00:13:15,267 --> 00:13:18,187
Speaker 6: tough games and who knows what kind of effect that

273
00:13:18,227 --> 00:13:21,067
Speaker 6: has on them. You know, like they're battling that hard

274
00:13:21,107 --> 00:13:24,347
Speaker 6: to make the four, they've got to play some tough teams.

275
00:13:24,547 --> 00:13:28,147
Speaker 6: Will that affect them come finals? Because you know a

276
00:13:28,187 --> 00:13:30,187
Speaker 6: lot of these guys have had big seasons already, they've

277
00:13:30,187 --> 00:13:34,147
Speaker 6: played Origin and now they've had to fight so hard

278
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,147
Speaker 6: and win nine or ten straight. I think it's nine

279
00:13:36,187 --> 00:13:38,507
Speaker 6: straight to get to this point. Now they've got to

280
00:13:38,547 --> 00:13:40,747
Speaker 6: stay there. Then you've got to play finals. Like by

281
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:43,107
Speaker 6: the time Pendrath get to a Grand Final, it's going

282
00:13:43,147 --> 00:13:47,227
Speaker 6: to be probably fifteen sixteen weeks of hard football where

283
00:13:47,227 --> 00:13:47,867
Speaker 6: they've been up.

284
00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:51,067
Speaker 5: So it's a big arc and I think that's where.

285
00:13:52,347 --> 00:13:54,867
Speaker 6: You know, this will be the test of their they

286
00:13:55,187 --> 00:13:57,147
Speaker 6: you know, they've passed the test many times of their

287
00:13:57,187 --> 00:14:00,987
Speaker 6: championship medal, but this is another one right, can you

288
00:14:01,067 --> 00:14:03,467
Speaker 6: win it? When things haven't gone your way and you've

289
00:14:03,467 --> 00:14:06,867
Speaker 6: had to just keep winning NonStop all the way through.

290
00:14:06,907 --> 00:14:08,907
Speaker 6: You haven't had the option to rest players like they've

291
00:14:08,907 --> 00:14:09,787
Speaker 6: had in previously years.

292
00:14:09,827 --> 00:14:11,667
Speaker 5: You haven't had the.

293
00:14:11,707 --> 00:14:14,107
Speaker 6: Chance to kind of have things your own way. But

294
00:14:14,787 --> 00:14:17,867
Speaker 6: you know, champion team finds finds way to do it.

295
00:14:17,907 --> 00:14:19,347
Speaker 6: So who knows.

296
00:14:19,707 --> 00:14:22,307
Speaker 2: Intriguing final month of the regular season and coming before

297
00:14:22,947 --> 00:14:25,707
Speaker 2: the finals. Jake, enjoy the warmth and comfort of the

298
00:14:25,707 --> 00:14:28,107
Speaker 2: Fox studio this afternoon. Mate, Thanks for your time today

299
00:14:28,107 --> 00:14:28,707
Speaker 2: on ZIV.

300
00:14:29,307 --> 00:14:31,307
Speaker 5: I certainly will thanks, Jase, appreciate it now.

301
00:14:31,307 --> 00:14:34,147
Speaker 2: I appreciate your time, Jake, Jake Juke there familiar voice

302
00:14:34,187 --> 00:14:36,827
Speaker 2: to rugby league audiences on this side of the Tasman

303
00:14:36,867 --> 00:14:39,747
Speaker 2: part of the Fox Sport team sideline there last night. Right,

304
00:14:39,867 --> 00:14:43,787
Speaker 2: let's unpack this, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Firstly,

305
00:14:43,867 --> 00:14:47,427
Speaker 2: can someone please give the Warriors injury ward a break?

306
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:50,547
Speaker 2: As I said to Jake, the list was long anyway.

307
00:14:51,747 --> 00:14:54,507
Speaker 2: Add to Mardy Martin to that he's definitely out next

308
00:14:54,507 --> 00:14:57,867
Speaker 2: week with a category one like Ahalasima and Kurt Capewell

309
00:14:57,947 --> 00:15:00,667
Speaker 2: left the field for HIA assessments last night. Thankfully, we're

310
00:15:00,707 --> 00:15:03,187
Speaker 2: able to both come back on. I just hope the

311
00:15:03,227 --> 00:15:05,547
Speaker 2: Cavalry are back in time. Wade Egan. You know when

312
00:15:05,627 --> 00:15:07,587
Speaker 2: he's not there, just a different team, aren't they. He

313
00:15:07,667 --> 00:15:10,467
Speaker 2: looks like he might be in contention next week from

314
00:15:10,507 --> 00:15:13,107
Speaker 2: what we're hearing with that shoulder. As I said yesterday,

315
00:15:13,187 --> 00:15:17,587
Speaker 2: Rock o'berry Alilatawa might also be back soon. But I

316
00:15:17,667 --> 00:15:20,587
Speaker 2: mean when you lose your playmaker as the Warriors did

317
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:23,147
Speaker 2: last night with Timarti Martin and what the twenty third minute,

318
00:15:23,147 --> 00:15:26,147
Speaker 2: things just changed completely and the adjustment was too hard

319
00:15:26,147 --> 00:15:28,907
Speaker 2: for them to make. The Bulldogs were great. Look, let's

320
00:15:28,907 --> 00:15:32,987
Speaker 2: not take anything away from them. They were very good.

321
00:15:33,267 --> 00:15:36,107
Speaker 2: And Andrew Webster said afterwards, actually they were their own

322
00:15:36,147 --> 00:15:39,427
Speaker 2: worst enemies in many ways the Warriors. So just an

323
00:15:39,507 --> 00:15:45,347
Speaker 2: unhappy night on what was a dreadful evening in Sydney.

324
00:15:46,547 --> 00:15:48,987
Speaker 2: So now the Warriors still a top four side. Well,

325
00:15:49,027 --> 00:15:51,827
Speaker 2: the maths would say yes, they can still be. There

326
00:15:51,827 --> 00:15:54,907
Speaker 2: are still eight points to play for common sense and

327
00:15:54,947 --> 00:15:58,707
Speaker 2: gup Fiel though now says no, it's just starting to

328
00:15:58,747 --> 00:16:01,067
Speaker 2: feel to me and you might have a view on this,

329
00:16:01,827 --> 00:16:03,947
Speaker 2: like the top four now are the top four Raiders

330
00:16:03,987 --> 00:16:09,067
Speaker 2: Storm Bulldogs Panthers, all sides in good form at the

331
00:16:09,107 --> 00:16:12,147
Speaker 2: right time of the season. Warriors fifth now and there

332
00:16:13,187 --> 00:16:15,987
Speaker 2: through these last set of results, five defeats in their

333
00:16:16,027 --> 00:16:18,787
Speaker 2: last seven, they've been drawn into a top eight dog fight.

334
00:16:18,867 --> 00:16:23,667
Speaker 2: Now they're fifth on thirty Broncos twenty eight, Sharks twenty eight,

335
00:16:23,787 --> 00:16:27,667
Speaker 2: Dolphins twenty six, and the ninth place Roosters also on

336
00:16:27,707 --> 00:16:32,347
Speaker 2: twenty six. Now hugely impressive. Last night putting sixty odd

337
00:16:32,387 --> 00:16:34,467
Speaker 2: on the Dolphins to draw level with them on points

338
00:16:35,667 --> 00:16:40,107
Speaker 2: four games to go. Last night was a massive game.

339
00:16:40,107 --> 00:16:42,187
Speaker 2: As I said about twenty four hours ago, for the

340
00:16:42,227 --> 00:16:46,107
Speaker 2: top four hopes of the Warriors, that feels now like

341
00:16:47,387 --> 00:16:50,507
Speaker 2: it ain't gonna happen This coming Friday at home against

342
00:16:50,507 --> 00:16:55,987
Speaker 2: the Dragons is now massive four the top eight. Let's

343
00:16:55,987 --> 00:16:57,227
Speaker 2: get into it. Takes some calls.

344
00:16:57,267 --> 00:17:01,027
Speaker 9: Hello, Bruce, Yeah, Hi Piney, how are you Mane?

345
00:17:01,227 --> 00:17:02,707
Speaker 2: I'm okay, Bruce, I'm okay.

346
00:17:03,427 --> 00:17:08,987
Speaker 9: Yeah. My handkerchiefs absolutely so. After the rotching last night,

347
00:17:09,027 --> 00:17:11,227
Speaker 9: And it wasn't the rain, it was the tears coming

348
00:17:11,307 --> 00:17:15,987
Speaker 9: down the face were there, but yeah, I mean it

349
00:17:16,107 --> 00:17:21,907
Speaker 9: wasn't to any lack of lack of effort. But you know,

350
00:17:21,987 --> 00:17:27,627
Speaker 9: with these injuries, they've just it's dest the whole sort

351
00:17:27,627 --> 00:17:29,947
Speaker 9: of cohesion of the side. But do you know what

352
00:17:30,067 --> 00:17:32,947
Speaker 9: happened over Boyd? What was the story with him not

353
00:17:33,107 --> 00:17:34,267
Speaker 9: starving in the hearts?

354
00:17:35,027 --> 00:17:38,507
Speaker 2: Andrew Webster said that Tomighty Martin earned his place during

355
00:17:38,547 --> 00:17:40,747
Speaker 2: the week. You know, obviously they name a team on

356
00:17:40,787 --> 00:17:42,747
Speaker 2: the on the Tuesday, don't they, which is a long

357
00:17:42,787 --> 00:17:44,907
Speaker 2: way out and they're quite and then the rights to

358
00:17:44,987 --> 00:17:48,547
Speaker 2: change it. Yeah, Andrew Webster said afterwards, Timmighty earned his place.

359
00:17:49,067 --> 00:17:52,267
Speaker 2: But obviously it'll you know, they'll go back to Tanner

360
00:17:52,267 --> 00:17:53,827
Speaker 2: Boyd And I have to give it to Andrew Webster.

361
00:17:53,907 --> 00:17:55,667
Speaker 2: He said last night that you know, Tanner board was

362
00:17:55,747 --> 00:17:57,747
Speaker 2: very good in the new Southwest Cup Cup side and

363
00:17:57,787 --> 00:18:01,627
Speaker 2: he will come straight back in, you know, and presumably

364
00:18:02,067 --> 00:18:06,707
Speaker 2: he'll he'll partner Chanelle Harris Tavita in the in the

365
00:18:06,747 --> 00:18:09,867
Speaker 2: halves again as they had done for two or three

366
00:18:09,907 --> 00:18:13,427
Speaker 2: games previously. But yeah, that was the situation, just a

367
00:18:13,587 --> 00:18:14,787
Speaker 2: form decision.

368
00:18:15,627 --> 00:18:17,547
Speaker 9: Yeah. But one thing I want to bring up was

369
00:18:17,907 --> 00:18:20,147
Speaker 9: it seems to be a really strange thing in the

370
00:18:20,227 --> 00:18:24,827
Speaker 9: league at the moment, you know, like in the it

371
00:18:24,987 --> 00:18:27,747
Speaker 9: was in about the first ten minutes and I can't

372
00:18:27,747 --> 00:18:30,507
Speaker 9: remember the Worri this guy that got hit, but he

373
00:18:30,547 --> 00:18:34,187
Speaker 9: got hit with a straight out shoulder charge to the

374
00:18:34,267 --> 00:18:39,227
Speaker 9: head and had to go off for you know, for

375
00:18:39,267 --> 00:18:44,267
Speaker 9: a head assessment, which is a minimum fifteen minutes anyway,

376
00:18:44,827 --> 00:18:46,987
Speaker 9: and the guy who actually hit him and it was

377
00:18:47,027 --> 00:18:50,267
Speaker 9: blatant is put on report but stays on the field.

378
00:18:50,347 --> 00:18:53,387
Speaker 9: So we lose a player. He just the guy who

379
00:18:53,427 --> 00:18:57,347
Speaker 9: does it just keeps on carrying on to change rule.

380
00:18:57,627 --> 00:19:00,507
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one down, isn't it from the ten of

381
00:19:00,507 --> 00:19:03,507
Speaker 2: the bin. It's not serious enough to be sent to

382
00:19:03,547 --> 00:19:06,947
Speaker 2: the bin straight away. It is serious enough to be

383
00:19:07,027 --> 00:19:10,187
Speaker 2: looked at, you know, in hindsight, and will be looked at.

384
00:19:10,187 --> 00:19:12,947
Speaker 2: I think was the one on Helisima that you're talking about, Bruce.

385
00:19:13,067 --> 00:19:17,147
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, pretty serious to me. I've taken a few

386
00:19:17,947 --> 00:19:21,827
Speaker 9: head highs. I know what they're like, but too many,

387
00:19:22,267 --> 00:19:24,627
Speaker 9: which is why I'm but strange, not at all.

388
00:19:24,827 --> 00:19:27,547
Speaker 2: You're very lucid, very lucid, Bruce.

389
00:19:28,347 --> 00:19:31,227
Speaker 9: Thanks mate, But yeah, yeah, I just thought it was

390
00:19:31,227 --> 00:19:32,587
Speaker 9: a serious one, that one.

391
00:19:33,147 --> 00:19:35,387
Speaker 2: Indeed. Hey, good to chatty you. Bruce has always love

392
00:19:35,467 --> 00:19:37,787
Speaker 2: chatting ragby league with your call back anytime mate on

393
00:19:37,867 --> 00:19:40,427
Speaker 2: text here mate, one more win. They're locked into the playoffs,

394
00:19:40,467 --> 00:19:43,187
Speaker 2: simple as that at thirty two points, it'll do well.

395
00:19:43,187 --> 00:19:44,827
Speaker 2: Mass would say no, but I know what you're saying.

396
00:19:44,907 --> 00:19:47,547
Speaker 2: I know what you're saying. It's unlikely, you know, especially

397
00:19:47,547 --> 00:19:50,027
Speaker 2: given the results at the moment, that everybody below them

398
00:19:50,067 --> 00:19:51,827
Speaker 2: is going to win every game. So yeah, thirty two

399
00:19:51,827 --> 00:19:54,747
Speaker 2: points may be enough. And the text goes on to say,

400
00:19:54,747 --> 00:19:56,547
Speaker 2: the icing on the cake is to finish fifth or

401
00:19:56,627 --> 00:19:59,867
Speaker 2: sixth for a home playoff. Correct, that is what we're

402
00:19:59,907 --> 00:20:03,147
Speaker 2: after here, a top Now that the top four, I

403
00:20:03,187 --> 00:20:04,987
Speaker 2: think we can all look, we'd love them to be

404
00:20:05,027 --> 00:20:07,467
Speaker 2: in the four, but we can all now probably say, well,

405
00:20:07,987 --> 00:20:10,747
Speaker 2: the very least, it's out of the Warrior's hands. They

406
00:20:10,947 --> 00:20:13,027
Speaker 2: they even if they were to win their last four games,

407
00:20:13,227 --> 00:20:14,987
Speaker 2: that might not be enough to make the top four.

408
00:20:15,027 --> 00:20:17,907
Speaker 2: So let's talk about five through eight, perhaps as a

409
00:20:17,907 --> 00:20:21,827
Speaker 2: more realistic proposition, and trying to finish as high up

410
00:20:21,867 --> 00:20:24,507
Speaker 2: in the five to eight bracket as possible. As the

411
00:20:24,547 --> 00:20:27,467
Speaker 2: text says, five and six get a home playoff with

412
00:20:27,587 --> 00:20:30,267
Speaker 2: the amount of injuries it finishes, it's not their fault

413
00:20:30,267 --> 00:20:32,867
Speaker 2: they're out of the top four. No, the injuries are

414
00:20:32,907 --> 00:20:35,547
Speaker 2: a huge part of the explanation for where they are

415
00:20:37,867 --> 00:20:40,347
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty our number lyle home mate.

416
00:20:41,307 --> 00:20:43,947
Speaker 10: Yeah, thank congratulations from the bull.

417
00:20:43,987 --> 00:20:44,667
Speaker 11: Go on so play.

418
00:20:44,987 --> 00:20:48,467
Speaker 10: You're just superbly and you're all right. You cannot stand

419
00:20:48,507 --> 00:20:51,547
Speaker 10: that club or tectors of the support base. But we

420
00:20:51,627 --> 00:20:57,667
Speaker 10: won't get political. But the steps lie the Warriors thirty

421
00:20:57,787 --> 00:21:01,387
Speaker 10: three tattles. I thought tenor boys would have been demanded

422
00:21:01,387 --> 00:21:03,747
Speaker 10: to play in those positions to be put of the way.

423
00:21:04,267 --> 00:21:08,107
Speaker 10: His kicking gamer is that I'm not usually one of

424
00:21:08,147 --> 00:21:11,987
Speaker 10: the prescribed to recring bias, but that first tried the

425
00:21:12,027 --> 00:21:15,067
Speaker 10: dog spot. If that wasn't a double movement, I don't

426
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:17,867
Speaker 10: know what was despite the weather, Yeah.

427
00:21:19,307 --> 00:21:22,987
Speaker 2: They said, was boss on commentsary last night said you,

428
00:21:23,067 --> 00:21:26,067
Speaker 2: I'm not too sure because yeah, he he sort of

429
00:21:26,067 --> 00:21:27,987
Speaker 2: had to turn his body, didn't he to get it down,

430
00:21:28,067 --> 00:21:30,107
Speaker 2: which which looked you know, if it had been called

431
00:21:30,107 --> 00:21:31,667
Speaker 2: a double movement, I'm not sure there would have been

432
00:21:31,707 --> 00:21:32,427
Speaker 2: too many complaints.

433
00:21:33,787 --> 00:21:37,347
Speaker 10: And yeah, well Eagans once a week before also the

434
00:21:37,387 --> 00:21:40,187
Speaker 10: Warriors got done for tackling of fail without the fall

435
00:21:40,547 --> 00:21:44,067
Speaker 10: and it definitely was a shepherd. And then that the

436
00:21:44,187 --> 00:21:48,387
Speaker 10: last thing, probably Fisher Harris getting up and pushing Crichton

437
00:21:49,067 --> 00:21:52,227
Speaker 10: and they got penalized for that. The Shepherds in every playable.

438
00:21:52,867 --> 00:21:55,867
Speaker 10: You know, I'm really going to wonder sometimes when Canterbury's

439
00:21:55,907 --> 00:22:00,387
Speaker 10: involved as the game. They sponsor banks Town Kebabs and

440
00:22:00,467 --> 00:22:03,547
Speaker 10: they gave the award based on ground to the official room.

441
00:22:03,907 --> 00:22:08,787
Speaker 10: Having said that the Warrior is Yeah, well they should

442
00:22:08,907 --> 00:22:12,467
Speaker 10: make the eight. But I don't know about fifteen and

443
00:22:12,507 --> 00:22:16,067
Speaker 10: six having home games. I thought only the top four hit.

444
00:22:16,027 --> 00:22:17,027
Speaker 12: The home game.

445
00:22:17,107 --> 00:22:18,147
Speaker 10: I may be wrong there.

446
00:22:18,547 --> 00:22:21,107
Speaker 2: Yeah, no five five to eight bracket. Yeah, the five

447
00:22:21,147 --> 00:22:23,387
Speaker 2: to eight brackets a straight knockout. So five plays eight,

448
00:22:23,467 --> 00:22:26,707
Speaker 2: six plays seven with the with the winners going through. Yeah,

449
00:22:26,707 --> 00:22:29,747
Speaker 2: the top four playoff in a similar fashion, but if

450
00:22:29,747 --> 00:22:32,067
Speaker 2: you lose in the top four you get the extra life.

451
00:22:33,507 --> 00:22:36,387
Speaker 10: Look like I said to you before that, it's like

452
00:22:37,707 --> 00:22:39,787
Speaker 10: the Mountourn Cup. They've turned for home. They're in the

453
00:22:39,867 --> 00:22:43,107
Speaker 10: league back, but they're fading badly. The problem now, I

454
00:22:43,147 --> 00:22:47,307
Speaker 10: think three lots is it's going to start to become

455
00:22:47,347 --> 00:22:50,067
Speaker 10: a confidence thing, you know, a mental thing. They've had

456
00:22:50,107 --> 00:22:52,907
Speaker 10: a shocking room of injuries. But bear in mind South

457
00:22:52,947 --> 00:22:57,307
Speaker 10: Sydney they've got eight million high right, eight million dollars

458
00:22:56,427 --> 00:23:01,667
Speaker 10: with the sideline on the seventeen that we should be

459
00:23:01,707 --> 00:23:06,907
Speaker 10: taking the field fourteen or on the sideline. But yeah, look,

460
00:23:07,867 --> 00:23:11,587
Speaker 10: hopefully they can produce something and fillage high and go

461
00:23:11,667 --> 00:23:11,947
Speaker 10: out with.

462
00:23:13,427 --> 00:23:14,027
Speaker 5: A good effort.

463
00:23:14,067 --> 00:23:17,547
Speaker 10: But it's not going to be this year. Perhaps twenty

464
00:23:18,147 --> 00:23:20,267
Speaker 10: seven for the better run on injuries.

465
00:23:20,627 --> 00:23:24,587
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, loll look yeah, look they're there, right, they're

466
00:23:24,587 --> 00:23:26,987
Speaker 2: there thereabouts. If they make the ad, it's better than

467
00:23:27,027 --> 00:23:28,907
Speaker 2: last year. And I think most people going into this

468
00:23:28,987 --> 00:23:31,387
Speaker 2: year off the back of last year would said if

469
00:23:31,427 --> 00:23:33,267
Speaker 2: you'd offered them top eight at the start of the season,

470
00:23:33,267 --> 00:23:36,027
Speaker 2: they would have bit in your handle for it. Unfortunately,

471
00:23:36,067 --> 00:23:39,067
Speaker 2: we've been conditioned to the success of the Warriors, and

472
00:23:39,107 --> 00:23:41,587
Speaker 2: I've lived in the top four since April. Now they're

473
00:23:41,667 --> 00:23:43,547
Speaker 2: dropping out of it, and you can't help but feel

474
00:23:43,587 --> 00:23:46,667
Speaker 2: disappointed at what might have been injuries. Yes, huge part

475
00:23:46,667 --> 00:23:49,667
Speaker 2: of it, massive part of it. Can't be discounted as

476
00:23:49,667 --> 00:23:54,507
Speaker 2: as an explanation for what's happened. Only one thing in

477
00:23:54,547 --> 00:23:57,467
Speaker 2: the Warrior's favor, says Jamie, is the Panthers have a

478
00:23:57,507 --> 00:24:00,827
Speaker 2: tougher drawer. They have to play Storm, Bulldogs and Raiders. Correct,

479
00:24:01,307 --> 00:24:04,267
Speaker 2: But I look at I look at the Panthers, Jamie,

480
00:24:04,907 --> 00:24:07,867
Speaker 2: what are they want? Nine in a row incredible team.

481
00:24:08,107 --> 00:24:09,947
Speaker 2: Half past twelve. We'll take a break spear line there

482
00:24:09,987 --> 00:24:11,387
Speaker 2: if you want to jump aboard at one hundred and

483
00:24:11,427 --> 00:24:13,947
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty, they're filling up fast. Get your point across.

484
00:24:13,987 --> 00:24:15,907
Speaker 2: On the Warriors. We're talking about them until one back

485
00:24:15,907 --> 00:24:16,147

Speaker 13: Yeah.

495
00:24:39,667 --> 00:24:42,587
Speaker 12: I was absolutely rapped with the last night's performance. Just

496
00:24:42,627 --> 00:24:47,347
Speaker 12: dominated the Doggies both first half, second half and absolutely

497
00:24:47,387 --> 00:24:49,707
Speaker 12: smacked them.

498
00:24:50,187 --> 00:24:52,667
Speaker 2: I know what you're doing. I know what you're doing, mate.

499
00:24:53,227 --> 00:24:55,387
Speaker 2: You're talking about the early You're talking about the early game.

500
00:24:56,587 --> 00:25:02,547
Speaker 12: You know, no looks Yeah, Tyra Tyra away today we

501
00:25:03,187 --> 00:25:04,107
Speaker 12: water machine.

502
00:25:04,307 --> 00:25:04,907
Speaker 13: What a talent.

503
00:25:06,107 --> 00:25:08,707
Speaker 12: Yeah No, I was just absolutely blowing away.

504
00:25:08,947 --> 00:25:09,107
Speaker 14: Yeah.

505
00:25:09,107 --> 00:25:11,347
Speaker 12: I watched the Woman's Now Tiny.

506
00:25:12,147 --> 00:25:14,907
Speaker 2: They were so good last night. Being honestly, I watched

507
00:25:14,947 --> 00:25:17,907
Speaker 2: that game too. I was so impressed with them. I

508
00:25:17,947 --> 00:25:19,027
Speaker 2: thought they were terrific.

509
00:25:19,107 --> 00:25:19,307
Speaker 13: Man.

510
00:25:20,987 --> 00:25:23,707
Speaker 12: I just think you know there was the injuries for

511
00:25:23,787 --> 00:25:27,747
Speaker 12: the first two games. But I think that game they

512
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:31,507
Speaker 12: they didn't really get there early enough, you know, and

513
00:25:31,547 --> 00:25:34,467
Speaker 12: climatize and localize and all that and get over the

514
00:25:34,547 --> 00:25:37,227
Speaker 12: jet leg. Because last night I was watching their game

515
00:25:37,387 --> 00:25:40,027
Speaker 12: and Georsy in there. I started getting a bit tired

516
00:25:40,067 --> 00:25:45,147
Speaker 12: and I fell asleep Georsy, So I think they Yeah,

517
00:25:45,187 --> 00:25:47,347
Speaker 12: they didn't really do that thing with the body cloth,

518
00:25:47,627 --> 00:25:49,907
Speaker 12: you know, they got a bit tired.

519
00:25:50,427 --> 00:25:50,827
Speaker 13: Yeah.

520
00:25:51,027 --> 00:25:54,547
Speaker 2: Look, I the woman was great, the woman great. What

521
00:25:54,587 --> 00:25:56,787
Speaker 2: about the men though? Man, what did you take from that?

522
00:25:58,347 --> 00:26:00,467
Speaker 12: I'm going to keep the faith, as I have done

523
00:26:00,667 --> 00:26:06,147
Speaker 12: for since day one. But yeah, look, I'm you know,

524
00:26:07,067 --> 00:26:11,347
Speaker 12: things can happen, and it just takes another team to

525
00:26:11,387 --> 00:26:13,707
Speaker 12: lose and have a bad day and we're back in it.

526
00:26:13,787 --> 00:26:19,147
Speaker 12: So at hey, we've seen them do all sorts of

527
00:26:19,467 --> 00:26:22,107
Speaker 12: surprises all the time, and I think they can turn

528
00:26:22,147 --> 00:26:25,347
Speaker 12: it around by ye winning all the games here and

529
00:26:25,427 --> 00:26:28,707
Speaker 12: another team loses as well. We'd so keep the faith.

530
00:26:28,747 --> 00:26:31,907
Speaker 12: But yeah, just next time, I think, get there earlier

531
00:26:32,827 --> 00:26:34,667
Speaker 12: or yet. Tira on the wing.

532
00:26:35,947 --> 00:26:38,507
Speaker 2: I love it, Ben the women. Actually, next two weekends

533
00:26:38,507 --> 00:26:42,107
Speaker 2: are in Hamilton. They got the Raiders Saturday and then

534
00:26:42,107 --> 00:26:45,067
Speaker 2: the following Sunday, the Sharks worth going along to see

535
00:26:45,507 --> 00:26:47,427
Speaker 2: those of you in the White cuttle and even those

536
00:26:47,427 --> 00:26:51,067
Speaker 2: of you who are in driving distance. They were tremendous

537
00:26:51,147 --> 00:26:53,747
Speaker 2: last night. And the wet was as wet in the

538
00:26:53,747 --> 00:26:56,067
Speaker 2: women's game as it was and the men's I thought

539
00:26:56,107 --> 00:27:01,107
Speaker 2: they were just terrific. Paul, level headed analysis from you,

540
00:27:01,147 --> 00:27:01,667
Speaker 2: please mate?

541
00:27:04,547 --> 00:27:07,707
Speaker 15: Well you know, yeah, I want to read is the

542
00:27:07,987 --> 00:27:10,467
Speaker 15: last guy comment? You know, can we keep the face?

543
00:27:10,507 --> 00:27:15,267
Speaker 15: And of course bony, but you know, if you had

544
00:27:15,307 --> 00:27:17,627
Speaker 15: us said to me after last year we finished through things,

545
00:27:17,667 --> 00:27:20,747
Speaker 15: then if you had us said to me this year that,

546
00:27:21,427 --> 00:27:24,547
Speaker 15: you know, especially after losing Fillerwell Blake and Tahu Harris

547
00:27:24,547 --> 00:27:28,147
Speaker 15: and Shawn Johnson's retirement, that we would be fourth after

548
00:27:28,267 --> 00:27:31,027
Speaker 15: round twenty three, you know, I probably would have laughed

549
00:27:31,067 --> 00:27:33,867
Speaker 15: at you, you know, after the last year's performance. You know,

550
00:27:34,227 --> 00:27:36,587
Speaker 15: the whole the could hard reality is, yes, we've got

551
00:27:36,707 --> 00:27:39,987
Speaker 15: I think eight or nine t injuries out. It's it's

552
00:27:40,027 --> 00:27:43,147
Speaker 15: a it's a funny. And the teams that can go

553
00:27:43,267 --> 00:27:47,187
Speaker 15: through the season keeping your full team or you know,

554
00:27:47,347 --> 00:27:51,507
Speaker 15: minimal injuries through the competition is the teams are the

555
00:27:51,587 --> 00:27:53,987
Speaker 15: teams that will will you be there or there about

556
00:27:53,987 --> 00:27:58,387
Speaker 15: to the end. So unfortunately that's not us. But you know,

557
00:27:59,187 --> 00:28:01,467
Speaker 15: to be in to make the eighth, we keep the

558
00:28:01,547 --> 00:28:04,267
Speaker 15: face and you know we've got Saint George and we've

559
00:28:04,267 --> 00:28:07,547
Speaker 15: got the eels. It's just a tough competition, you know.

560
00:28:07,627 --> 00:28:11,107
Speaker 15: I mean, honestly, Pony. You know, there's some of the

561
00:28:11,267 --> 00:28:14,067
Speaker 15: upsets I've seen recently, and he just can't.

562
00:28:13,907 --> 00:28:15,827
Speaker 13: Pigot this year. It's just so hard.

563
00:28:15,907 --> 00:28:18,147
Speaker 15: I mean, it's yeah, we should beat the we should

564
00:28:18,187 --> 00:28:20,587
Speaker 15: beat Saint George. But look what Saint George did to

565
00:28:20,667 --> 00:28:21,507
Speaker 15: the Sharksys today.

566
00:28:21,547 --> 00:28:24,907
Speaker 13: I mean, yeah, it's just.

567
00:28:25,467 --> 00:28:27,467
Speaker 4: It's a tough, tough competition, Ponnie.

568
00:28:27,467 --> 00:28:30,027
Speaker 15: But you know, we keep the faith, mate, like I said,

569
00:28:30,067 --> 00:28:33,907
Speaker 15: and we'll be there, you know, with a sold out

570
00:28:33,947 --> 00:28:36,987
Speaker 15: crowd on Friday. Next Friday was against Saint George, and

571
00:28:37,387 --> 00:28:39,467
Speaker 15: we'll begin we'll be riding the boards all the way.

572
00:28:39,587 --> 00:28:39,787
Speaker 13: Mate.

573
00:28:40,947 --> 00:28:43,067
Speaker 2: What did you think of the decision to bring in

574
00:28:43,147 --> 00:28:47,227
Speaker 2: to Mighty Martin and also Freddy Lussk earlier in the week, obviously,

575
00:28:48,507 --> 00:28:54,347
Speaker 2: Tanner Boyd and and Sam Healey were named in those positions.

576
00:28:54,707 --> 00:28:56,907
Speaker 2: What did you make of those changes?

577
00:28:58,347 --> 00:29:03,067
Speaker 15: I was actually quite surprised then, and boy hasn't really

578
00:29:03,307 --> 00:29:07,347
Speaker 15: really owned a seven jersey. It was a dry track,

579
00:29:07,707 --> 00:29:10,667
Speaker 15: I probably would have been okay with it. But because

580
00:29:10,747 --> 00:29:13,507
Speaker 15: ten of boy's got such a good kicking game, I

581
00:29:13,547 --> 00:29:15,707
Speaker 15: would have thought in the wet conditions, he's the guy

582
00:29:15,787 --> 00:29:18,147
Speaker 15: that you want to be there in the number seven,

583
00:29:18,227 --> 00:29:21,707
Speaker 15: you know, because of his a good long kicker, short kicker,

584
00:29:23,307 --> 00:29:25,187
Speaker 15: So you know I would have thought in the rain.

585
00:29:25,267 --> 00:29:27,747
Speaker 15: Yet ten of boys to go, I was very very surprised.

586
00:29:27,787 --> 00:29:30,387
Speaker 15: But you know there ZiT mean, now we're going to

587
00:29:30,467 --> 00:29:32,987
Speaker 15: see a young boy by the name McCleary come onto

588
00:29:33,027 --> 00:29:35,307
Speaker 15: the bench of it tonight. He's out, you know, and

589
00:29:36,307 --> 00:29:38,227
Speaker 15: you know he's been just clean it, you know, and

590
00:29:38,267 --> 00:29:39,987
Speaker 15: he's just saying, you know, if you if you're you're

591
00:29:39,987 --> 00:29:42,467
Speaker 15: good enough, you're old enough, and maybe it's just time

592
00:29:42,547 --> 00:29:45,547
Speaker 15: to come onto the bench and show what he's got.

593
00:29:45,627 --> 00:29:48,787
Speaker 15: But yeah, I mean, end of the day, poney. You

594
00:29:48,827 --> 00:29:51,507
Speaker 15: know it was Sydney pouring in with the rain against

595
00:29:51,547 --> 00:29:54,147
Speaker 15: the bulldogs who are flying at the moment. So you

596
00:29:54,227 --> 00:29:57,507
Speaker 15: know we just lock Calhound's mate and get behind the

597
00:29:57,547 --> 00:29:58,147
Speaker 15: boys next.

598
00:29:58,027 --> 00:30:00,587
Speaker 2: Week, love it, Paul, good on? Your mate? Is George

599
00:30:00,627 --> 00:30:03,267
Speaker 2: chadding to you that, well, we'll get it up again

600
00:30:03,307 --> 00:30:07,787
Speaker 2: next weekend. Absolutely, I take it easy. Oh eight hundred

601
00:30:07,787 --> 00:30:11,867
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty Yeah, the Dolphins, right, Dolphins beat

602
00:30:11,907 --> 00:30:14,147
Speaker 2: the Warriors last week, didn't they right at the end?

603
00:30:14,667 --> 00:30:19,267
Speaker 2: And then yesterday you see that Roosters put sixty four

604
00:30:19,387 --> 00:30:21,667
Speaker 2: on them, even the Broncos. I know it was against

605
00:30:21,707 --> 00:30:25,267
Speaker 2: the Storm. They lost the Sharks, as Paul just pointed out,

606
00:30:26,667 --> 00:30:29,107
Speaker 2: lost to the Dragons. I see yesterday that if results

607
00:30:29,147 --> 00:30:31,747
Speaker 2: went against us, we could be as low as seventh

608
00:30:31,787 --> 00:30:36,147
Speaker 2: after the weekend, and that is that was mathematical fact.

609
00:30:36,307 --> 00:30:41,027
Speaker 2: But the teams below us couldn't do the job for themselves.

610
00:30:41,347 --> 00:30:43,787
Speaker 2: There are any number of twists and turns left in

611
00:30:43,827 --> 00:30:48,507
Speaker 2: this season. Dragons home, Titans away, Eels home, see Eagles away?

612
00:30:48,947 --> 00:30:49,947
Speaker 2: Where have you got us finishing?

613
00:30:50,027 --> 00:30:50,267
Speaker 7: Mark?

614
00:30:52,867 --> 00:30:53,027
Speaker 13: Oh?

615
00:30:53,107 --> 00:30:57,627
Speaker 11: My predictive fis last night I was actually as is

616
00:30:57,667 --> 00:31:00,427
Speaker 11: a low budget better. I was riding your tap was

617
00:31:00,507 --> 00:31:03,227
Speaker 11: a greggy that he had the Blues and not the

618
00:31:03,267 --> 00:31:06,067
Speaker 11: Blues opened to win by one to twelve, didn't they?

619
00:31:06,147 --> 00:31:06,307
Speaker 13: Yeah?

620
00:31:06,427 --> 00:31:08,747
Speaker 2: I was watching that too, Mark, I was. I was

621
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:12,427
Speaker 2: riding them home to for him four hundred marks. I know,

622
00:31:12,987 --> 00:31:15,827
Speaker 2: I know he couldn't got and then canvary those dastardly

623
00:31:16,027 --> 00:31:18,627
Speaker 2: Cantabrians scored in the last ten minutes and took it

624
00:31:18,667 --> 00:31:19,307
Speaker 2: away from them.

625
00:31:20,227 --> 00:31:23,107
Speaker 11: Always second half of the Canary, isn't it here is

626
00:31:23,147 --> 00:31:25,947
Speaker 11: a hurricane? We know too much, too much.

627
00:31:25,827 --> 00:31:26,227
Speaker 13: About that.

628
00:31:27,747 --> 00:31:30,747
Speaker 11: Last night's game. I thought there were some terrible calls.

629
00:31:31,147 --> 00:31:35,507
Speaker 11: I thought, you know, obviously to Martin was injury affected it.

630
00:31:35,587 --> 00:31:37,747
Speaker 11: But I think the Dogs deserve to win. You know,

631
00:31:37,787 --> 00:31:40,427
Speaker 11: they had a fantastic kicking game and they just they

632
00:31:40,547 --> 00:31:43,387
Speaker 11: just screwed, screwed. The Warriors were their defense. I think

633
00:31:43,427 --> 00:31:46,187
Speaker 11: that was sort of acknowledged in the in the in

634
00:31:46,267 --> 00:31:49,387
Speaker 11: the postmatch to the conference. But you need have to

635
00:31:49,507 --> 00:31:53,587
Speaker 11: win the NRL competition and I don't I don't think

636
00:31:53,627 --> 00:31:55,467
Speaker 11: Town of Boyd. I mean, I don't like putting the

637
00:31:55,467 --> 00:31:57,307
Speaker 11: boot into players. You know, as you get older, you

638
00:31:57,347 --> 00:32:02,067
Speaker 11: don't a bit said. But I think Martin and Egan

639
00:32:02,227 --> 00:32:06,107
Speaker 11: are probably the key to success of the Warriors going forward.

640
00:32:06,147 --> 00:32:09,907
Speaker 11: You you really need that have or some playmakers to

641
00:32:10,027 --> 00:32:13,027
Speaker 11: be you know the difference, you know what I mean. Yeah,

642
00:32:14,187 --> 00:32:17,747
Speaker 11: any n R teams that win the competition without a

643
00:32:17,907 --> 00:32:20,307
Speaker 11: star number seven, number six, and I think that was

644
00:32:20,387 --> 00:32:24,067
Speaker 11: probably the key to you know, Melbourne success. They had

645
00:32:24,187 --> 00:32:27,307
Speaker 11: two absolutely probably two of the best hards in the game,

646
00:32:27,707 --> 00:32:30,027
Speaker 11: and they both could kick, and they both you know,

647
00:32:30,547 --> 00:32:32,787
Speaker 11: could be playmakers, and that was that was a huge

648
00:32:32,947 --> 00:32:36,027
Speaker 11: benefit to that team. That sort of accounted for their

649
00:32:36,227 --> 00:32:38,747
Speaker 11: success over the well pretty much a decade.

650
00:32:38,787 --> 00:32:40,987
Speaker 2: I guess, well, you look at who was playing well

651
00:32:41,067 --> 00:32:42,667
Speaker 2: for us, sorry market, you look at who was playing

652
00:32:42,667 --> 00:32:47,307
Speaker 2: well for us during the that that you know, period

653
00:32:47,347 --> 00:32:50,587
Speaker 2: of really good success in the number seven Jersey, and

654
00:32:50,627 --> 00:32:52,547
Speaker 2: it was Luke Metcalf. You know, he was at the

655
00:32:52,627 --> 00:32:54,267
Speaker 2: top of the dally M when they when they took

656
00:32:54,267 --> 00:32:56,587
Speaker 2: a behind closed doors, he was. He was one of

657
00:32:56,627 --> 00:32:59,067
Speaker 2: the standout players in the comp. And I know he's

658
00:32:59,107 --> 00:33:00,987
Speaker 2: not there and you've got a legislate for injuries, but

659
00:33:01,467 --> 00:33:03,307
Speaker 2: in fact remains he was a huge part of the

660
00:33:03,347 --> 00:33:05,867
Speaker 2: Warrior's success in the in the early part of the season.

661
00:33:07,107 --> 00:33:09,467
Speaker 11: Oh absolutely, I think you're completely right about that. And

662
00:33:09,547 --> 00:33:11,907
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously Barnett going was a big loss, but

663
00:33:11,987 --> 00:33:14,987
Speaker 11: I think Mitt Kalf was even a bigger loss. He's

664
00:33:15,107 --> 00:33:17,187
Speaker 11: really taken out. I mean, every alms going. How are

665
00:33:17,187 --> 00:33:20,507
Speaker 11: we going to replace Seawan Johnson? Well, Metcalf, who was

666
00:33:20,587 --> 00:33:23,147
Speaker 11: pretty much you know, in the past, was pretty much

667
00:33:24,027 --> 00:33:27,667
Speaker 11: I guess a Plotter. But you know it's to me

668
00:33:27,827 --> 00:33:29,587
Speaker 11: the Warriors are in good stead. You know, you look

669
00:33:29,627 --> 00:33:32,507
Speaker 11: at the reserve grade. They're completely blitzing their competition and

670
00:33:33,067 --> 00:33:35,667
Speaker 11: they're feeding their feeding. That's going to feed into the

671
00:33:35,707 --> 00:33:37,907
Speaker 11: inner oil for another two or three years. So I mean,

672
00:33:38,227 --> 00:33:40,267
Speaker 11: even if they don't finish well this year, you know

673
00:33:40,347 --> 00:33:41,867
Speaker 11: they've got a good future. I reckon.

674
00:33:42,387 --> 00:33:44,187
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Mark, good on your mate. Yeah, and

675
00:33:44,427 --> 00:33:46,307
Speaker 2: we're starting to see the spine of that that team

676
00:33:46,387 --> 00:33:48,227
Speaker 2: come through and play by the first grade. You know,

677
00:33:48,387 --> 00:33:50,867
Speaker 2: tag Dwopaki, Sam Healy or I thought was quite good

678
00:33:50,867 --> 00:33:55,947
Speaker 2: when he came on last night, you know, Tanner Boyd. Yeah,

679
00:33:55,987 --> 00:33:58,747
Speaker 2: but you wonder whether it's time for Jet Clary. You know,

680
00:33:58,947 --> 00:34:00,907
Speaker 2: it might it might be a hail Mary, and you

681
00:34:01,027 --> 00:34:03,067
Speaker 2: might just be checking a bloke in there because he's

682
00:34:03,107 --> 00:34:05,667
Speaker 2: got a good surname. But he's been playing well from

683
00:34:05,827 --> 00:34:08,387
Speaker 2: all account, Jack Clary, so maybe I don't know, maybe

684
00:34:08,387 --> 00:34:10,307
Speaker 2: you do give him a crack. But Luke Metcalf, I

685
00:34:10,347 --> 00:34:14,987
Speaker 2: don't think you can underestimate the impact he had on

686
00:34:15,067 --> 00:34:17,907
Speaker 2: the side, and I don't think anybody is either, because,

687
00:34:17,947 --> 00:34:20,867
Speaker 2: like I say, in the Dally M voting one, you

688
00:34:20,907 --> 00:34:22,947
Speaker 2: know they make it public up until a certain round

689
00:34:22,947 --> 00:34:24,547
Speaker 2: and I can't remember which round it is, but they

690
00:34:24,587 --> 00:34:27,347
Speaker 2: make it public up until a certain round. Luke Metcalf

691
00:34:27,507 --> 00:34:30,187
Speaker 2: was leading the dally M voting for the best player

692
00:34:30,227 --> 00:34:33,427
Speaker 2: in the comp so of course it's gonna be a

693
00:34:33,547 --> 00:34:37,987
Speaker 2: massive blow when you lose him six stight away from

694
00:34:38,027 --> 00:34:39,427
Speaker 2: one back. With more of your calls after this.

695
00:34:40,867 --> 00:34:43,747
Speaker 1: You be the TMO. Have your say on eight hundred

696
00:34:43,747 --> 00:34:46,787
Speaker 1: and eighty ten eighty weekends for It with Jason hin

697
00:34:47,027 --> 00:34:51,227
Speaker 1: and GJ. Gunnerholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder news Dogs.

698
00:34:51,267 --> 00:34:53,907
Speaker 2: They'd be thirteen to one to see the Warriors. New

699
00:34:53,947 --> 00:34:56,467
Speaker 2: South Wales Cupside won again yesterday thirty four to thirty

700
00:34:56,507 --> 00:35:00,747
Speaker 2: against the Bulldogs. They've played twenty one games one nineteen,

701
00:35:00,987 --> 00:35:04,187
Speaker 2: drawn one and lost one. It's an incredible record the

702
00:35:04,267 --> 00:35:06,707
Speaker 2: Warriors New South Wales cuptain. They're miles hit at the

703
00:35:06,707 --> 00:35:09,067
Speaker 2: top of the table. We'll take top seeding into the finals.

704
00:35:09,547 --> 00:35:13,667
Speaker 2: So there is another wave coming and a number of

705
00:35:13,747 --> 00:35:15,507
Speaker 2: those players have turned out in the first grade.

706
00:35:15,827 --> 00:35:18,747
Speaker 5: Hey Greg, are you paying?

707
00:35:19,227 --> 00:35:19,787
Speaker 4: All right? Greg?

708
00:35:19,827 --> 00:35:20,347
Speaker 2: All right mate?

709
00:35:21,467 --> 00:35:24,107
Speaker 7: Well it was this golden pointed or went to the Warriors.

710
00:35:23,867 --> 00:35:24,347
Speaker 16: Wasn't.

711
00:35:25,987 --> 00:35:27,547
Speaker 13: No, it was not.

712
00:35:28,227 --> 00:35:29,627
Speaker 2: No, that prediction was incorrect.

713
00:35:31,387 --> 00:35:37,387
Speaker 7: There's so much to unravel in that game, from inconsistency

714
00:35:37,587 --> 00:35:47,187
Speaker 7: from the referee, two injuries, to what players do we pick,

715
00:35:48,267 --> 00:35:51,067
Speaker 7: I mean, poxample the tan, avoid things. You know, he

716
00:35:51,187 --> 00:35:56,147
Speaker 7: came up first game, played a blinder and then could

717
00:35:56,307 --> 00:35:59,147
Speaker 7: sort of like continue it. It's like some of these

718
00:35:59,227 --> 00:36:03,907
Speaker 7: players need to be blooded, and well there's no easy games,

719
00:36:03,947 --> 00:36:09,747
Speaker 7: but need to be blooded a little bit more more

720
00:36:09,827 --> 00:36:10,587
Speaker 7: hand I think.

721
00:36:11,067 --> 00:36:12,707
Speaker 2: I guess i'd say that happens to the New South

722
00:36:12,747 --> 00:36:14,547
Speaker 2: Wales Cup though I agree. I guess that's what they

723
00:36:14,587 --> 00:36:16,667
Speaker 2: say is look, play well in the you know, in

724
00:36:17,427 --> 00:36:20,467
Speaker 2: our reserve team effectively and and you'll you'll get the

725
00:36:20,547 --> 00:36:22,587
Speaker 2: call up. And so I think it had a pretty

726
00:36:22,627 --> 00:36:24,267
Speaker 2: good body of work in that New South Wales Cup

727
00:36:24,747 --> 00:36:25,227
Speaker 2: Cup side.

728
00:36:27,787 --> 00:36:31,747
Speaker 7: Yeah, but then, like Andrew Webster says, not to worry

729
00:36:31,827 --> 00:36:36,507
Speaker 7: Martin deserved as has place. Well it's not like a

730
00:36:36,587 --> 00:36:39,227
Speaker 7: bit of a strange call to drop one guy you

731
00:36:39,387 --> 00:36:42,027
Speaker 7: just brought up and bring it another up into the bowl.

732
00:36:43,187 --> 00:36:45,547
Speaker 2: Yep, No, I agree at race to my brows and

733
00:36:45,667 --> 00:36:48,107
Speaker 2: race to my brows. That was just a second start

734
00:36:48,187 --> 00:36:50,507
Speaker 2: for the mighty Martin all season. So Yeah, no, it's

735
00:36:50,507 --> 00:36:50,987
Speaker 2: a good point.

736
00:36:52,707 --> 00:36:55,067
Speaker 7: One thing I'd like to see them introduced is that

737
00:36:56,987 --> 00:36:59,947
Speaker 7: if you are involved with player goes off with the

738
00:37:00,027 --> 00:37:05,107
Speaker 7: main chia and then you actually go as well, because

739
00:37:06,427 --> 00:37:08,867
Speaker 7: you're losing a player for fifteen minutes through the actions

740
00:37:08,907 --> 00:37:15,587
Speaker 7: of another another player, and they should be disadvantaged to

741
00:37:15,667 --> 00:37:19,707
Speaker 7: the same effecture as what the actions of that player are.

742
00:37:23,027 --> 00:37:26,227
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard that said as well. It's also sometimes

743
00:37:26,347 --> 00:37:29,067
Speaker 2: you extrapolate that out that if you cause somebody an injury,

744
00:37:29,827 --> 00:37:31,387
Speaker 2: you should be out for as long as they are.

745
00:37:31,627 --> 00:37:34,707
Speaker 2: I know, it's you know, it's well, it's it's yeah,

746
00:37:34,707 --> 00:37:36,827
Speaker 2: but I get the I get the I get the

747
00:37:37,707 --> 00:37:39,987
Speaker 2: the on field stuff during the game. Yeah, you're right.

748
00:37:40,187 --> 00:37:42,867
Speaker 2: It's as someone said her at the top of the show. Yeah,

749
00:37:43,347 --> 00:37:45,387
Speaker 2: guy goes off for a for an Hia is off

750
00:37:45,427 --> 00:37:47,827
Speaker 2: for ten minutes, You go on reports are really your

751
00:37:47,907 --> 00:37:51,267
Speaker 2: involvement in the current game is not affected at all.

752
00:37:53,187 --> 00:38:00,107
Speaker 7: Yeah, And things like Bisher Harris pushing christ right is

753
00:38:00,187 --> 00:38:05,427
Speaker 7: exactly the same point. The ause mis Harris was much greater.

754
00:38:05,587 --> 00:38:06,707
Speaker 13: So I'm over.

755
00:38:06,867 --> 00:38:10,627
Speaker 7: But you know, those sort of halls in the heat

756
00:38:10,667 --> 00:38:13,867
Speaker 7: of the moment have affected the Warriors through a lot

757
00:38:13,907 --> 00:38:19,507
Speaker 7: of the year, the same with Jackson Ford playing well

758
00:38:19,667 --> 00:38:23,107
Speaker 7: this was last week playing the wall incorrectly and then

759
00:38:23,187 --> 00:38:26,227
Speaker 7: later in the game the opposition did executive the same thing.

760
00:38:28,227 --> 00:38:30,947
Speaker 7: But I don't I don't think we should give up

761
00:38:31,027 --> 00:38:35,307
Speaker 7: hope on it. If there a one yesterday, we'd be

762
00:38:35,427 --> 00:38:38,187
Speaker 7: talking about them in the top four, all right, So

763
00:38:38,307 --> 00:38:40,907
Speaker 7: they lost, so we're now talking about them in the

764
00:38:40,987 --> 00:38:46,227
Speaker 7: top eight. But there is still and I hate saying it,

765
00:38:46,427 --> 00:38:48,467
Speaker 7: there is still a mathematical chance.

766
00:38:49,707 --> 00:38:52,267
Speaker 2: Oh more than more than Yeah, yeah, there are only

767
00:38:52,267 --> 00:38:55,027
Speaker 2: there are only one point outside the top four. Yeah,

768
00:38:55,027 --> 00:38:57,107
Speaker 2: it's not not as though they're no, they haven't been

769
00:38:57,427 --> 00:39:00,507
Speaker 2: cut adrift. And as has been mentioned that the Panthers

770
00:39:00,587 --> 00:39:02,827
Speaker 2: run and even though they're absolutely killing it at the moment,

771
00:39:03,027 --> 00:39:04,747
Speaker 2: the Panthers have to play the other three in the

772
00:39:04,787 --> 00:39:08,387
Speaker 2: top four, So you know, that's tough.

773
00:39:10,307 --> 00:39:12,947
Speaker 7: Where we talk about the Panthers, though they had won

774
00:39:13,147 --> 00:39:15,787
Speaker 7: four on the trot, so they've gotten that experience. Even

775
00:39:15,827 --> 00:39:18,387
Speaker 7: though they've lost a lot of players, they still have

776
00:39:18,507 --> 00:39:23,547
Speaker 7: a footprint to know how to win and win a championship.

777
00:39:24,787 --> 00:39:29,147
Speaker 7: I think the Warriors still having a cop then nutted

778
00:39:29,227 --> 00:39:29,987
Speaker 7: out completely.

779
00:39:33,667 --> 00:39:36,587
Speaker 2: I agree, Greg, I agree. Hopefully they nutted out soon.

780
00:39:36,787 --> 00:39:38,827
Speaker 2: But you're right in terms of the maths of it all.

781
00:39:39,907 --> 00:39:42,587
Speaker 2: You know, we shouldn't catastrophize. And I didn't mean to

782
00:39:42,787 --> 00:39:44,987
Speaker 2: sound like I was doing that. It just doesn't feel

783
00:39:45,067 --> 00:39:47,387
Speaker 2: like they're a top four side right because of the

784
00:39:47,667 --> 00:39:49,867
Speaker 2: form slump that they're in and the better form of

785
00:39:49,947 --> 00:39:54,707
Speaker 2: those above them. But the maths would say they're one

786
00:39:54,787 --> 00:39:56,067
Speaker 2: point outside the top four.

787
00:39:56,147 --> 00:39:56,227
Speaker 13: Now.

788
00:39:56,307 --> 00:39:59,827
Speaker 2: They've lived inside the top four since April. They've only

789
00:40:00,027 --> 00:40:03,907
Speaker 2: just fallen out. Panthers have a tough running and the Warriors.

790
00:40:03,987 --> 00:40:06,987
Speaker 2: You know, you look at the Runner. They have dragons

791
00:40:07,027 --> 00:40:10,827
Speaker 2: at home, Titans away, Eels at home, see Eagles away.

792
00:40:11,227 --> 00:40:13,467
Speaker 2: Not a single side there in the top eight currently

793
00:40:15,427 --> 00:40:17,027
Speaker 2: seven to one talks he'd be back in the.

794
00:40:17,027 --> 00:40:20,347
Speaker 1: Mint when it's down to the line, you make a call.

795
00:40:20,547 --> 00:40:25,947
Speaker 1: On Weekend Sport with Jason Payne, News Talk SAB.

796
00:40:26,427 --> 00:40:28,427
Speaker 2: Four to one. After the game last night, Andrew Webster

797
00:40:28,507 --> 00:40:30,547
Speaker 2: asked how it felt to have the top four out

798
00:40:30,627 --> 00:40:31,267
Speaker 2: of their hands.

799
00:40:31,387 --> 00:40:34,387
Speaker 17: Now everyone wants to be a top fourteen. I mean,

800
00:40:34,627 --> 00:40:36,227
Speaker 17: I mean, and then gives you a really good shot

801
00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:38,827
Speaker 17: at the end of the season. But tonight won't define us.

802
00:40:38,987 --> 00:40:40,667
Speaker 17: You know, we've got we've got a lot of football

803
00:40:40,707 --> 00:40:42,147
Speaker 17: to play at the back end of this year, and

804
00:40:43,347 --> 00:40:44,947
Speaker 17: you know, we're going to get back to playing our

805
00:40:45,027 --> 00:40:46,827
Speaker 17: best football and the rest of it will take care

806
00:40:46,867 --> 00:40:50,707
Speaker 17: of itself. And yeah, we're confident we can do it together.

807
00:40:50,827 --> 00:40:52,387
Speaker 17: We've got a good group in there that believe in

808
00:40:52,427 --> 00:40:55,747
Speaker 17: each other and they support each other when no one's

809
00:40:55,747 --> 00:41:00,427
Speaker 17: happier there. We wish, we wish we'll win each week

810
00:41:00,467 --> 00:41:02,747
Speaker 17: at the moment, but there's a lot to build off

811
00:41:02,787 --> 00:41:05,107
Speaker 17: and a lot of a lot of spirit in that group,

812
00:41:05,427 --> 00:41:06,627
Speaker 17: and we'll creep.

813
00:41:07,147 --> 00:41:09,387
Speaker 2: They will keep fighting, There's absolutely no doubt about that.

814
00:41:09,547 --> 00:41:13,027
Speaker 2: Dragons Next at Go Media Stadium Friday night. Thanks for

815
00:41:13,147 --> 00:41:14,867
Speaker 2: your cause on the Warriors, Mark Robinson.

816
00:41:14,987 --> 00:41:19,427
Speaker 1: After one's the only place to discuss the biggest sports

817
00:41:19,507 --> 00:41:23,747
Speaker 1: issues on and afterfield. It's all on Winter and Spard

818
00:41:23,867 --> 00:41:26,947
Speaker 1: with Jason Vane on your home of Sport.

819
00:41:29,907 --> 00:41:33,187
Speaker 2: One seven. Welcome into Weekend Sport. Welcome back to Weekend Sport.

820
00:41:33,227 --> 00:41:36,987
Speaker 2: We're till three. New Zealand Rugby CEO Mark Robinson and

821
00:41:37,187 --> 00:41:39,187
Speaker 2: just a moment wanted to talk some cricket with you

822
00:41:39,267 --> 00:41:41,067
Speaker 2: as well at some stage, maybe this hour, maybe a

823
00:41:41,107 --> 00:41:45,827
Speaker 2: bit later on. I mean, fantastic result for the black

824
00:41:45,907 --> 00:41:51,707
Speaker 2: captain Zimbabwe. But an utter demolition job, just a complete mismatch,

825
00:41:52,507 --> 00:41:57,147
Speaker 2: wasn't it. You look across the series, this two Test

826
00:41:57,267 --> 00:42:02,307
Speaker 2: series against Zimbabwe, and I mean, I know numbers only

827
00:42:02,427 --> 00:42:05,187
Speaker 2: tell some of the story, but they are in cricket,

828
00:42:05,587 --> 00:42:08,627
Speaker 2: perhaps more than a lot of sports are good indicator.

829
00:42:09,707 --> 00:42:16,227
Speaker 2: And Zimbabwe across the two Test matches lost forty wickets,

830
00:42:16,307 --> 00:42:19,147
Speaker 2: all of their wickets for five hundred and fifty six

831
00:42:19,227 --> 00:42:25,027
Speaker 2: runs across the two Tests. New Zealand lost just three

832
00:42:25,227 --> 00:42:28,387
Speaker 2: for six hundred and three in their first innings of

833
00:42:28,467 --> 00:42:32,307
Speaker 2: the second Test alone, so they scored fifty odd more

834
00:42:32,387 --> 00:42:35,667
Speaker 2: runs and one innings for the loss of just three

835
00:42:35,747 --> 00:42:41,227
Speaker 2: wickets than Zimbabwe scored across the entire series for the

836
00:42:41,267 --> 00:42:43,787
Speaker 2: loss of all forty. I know, you can only play

837
00:42:43,827 --> 00:42:47,467
Speaker 2: what's in front of you, and I guess if you

838
00:42:47,587 --> 00:42:50,067
Speaker 2: go back in time, there were times in the deep

839
00:42:50,147 --> 00:42:53,147
Speaker 2: dark pass where teams probably thought the same about us.

840
00:42:54,507 --> 00:42:56,227
Speaker 2: And look, you have to give it to the likes

841
00:42:56,227 --> 00:42:59,107
Speaker 2: of Matt Henry and Zach Folks on Test debuu and

842
00:42:59,947 --> 00:43:02,867
Speaker 2: the guys who got big one fifties in that second

843
00:43:02,947 --> 00:43:07,107
Speaker 2: Test were Indra and Nichols Conway. I don't know, are

844
00:43:07,147 --> 00:43:10,387
Speaker 2: those stats diluted or actually is it the other way around?

845
00:43:10,467 --> 00:43:14,987
Speaker 2: That we're building some depth now without guys there who

846
00:43:15,867 --> 00:43:17,867
Speaker 2: may well benefit from the experience. I want to talk

847
00:43:17,867 --> 00:43:19,907
Speaker 2: a bit of this with you. We'll find a place

848
00:43:19,987 --> 00:43:23,427
Speaker 2: for that before the show ends. James mcconey this hour

868
00:44:24,387 --> 00:44:28,187
Speaker 2: on a fairly regular basis, to chat through a number

869
00:44:28,227 --> 00:44:30,227
Speaker 2: of rugby issues. Mark, Thanks for your time as always

870
00:44:30,267 --> 00:44:32,187
Speaker 2: on z B. Big story this week, of course, was

871
00:44:32,227 --> 00:44:35,547
Speaker 2: the return to New Zealand of Richie Moore Ulna. He

872
00:44:35,747 --> 00:44:38,947
Speaker 2: is back next year. He'll be here until the back

873
00:44:39,067 --> 00:44:41,627
Speaker 2: end of twenty twenty seven, including the Rugby World Cup.

874
00:44:41,947 --> 00:44:45,667
Speaker 2: Are you happy with the outcome that has been achieved here?

875
00:44:46,707 --> 00:44:48,067
Speaker 13: Yeah, we are obviously.

876
00:44:48,147 --> 00:44:51,507
Speaker 18: I mean, Richie's a proven talent, you know, across many

877
00:44:51,507 --> 00:44:53,387
Speaker 18: of the highest stages in the game, and he's been

878
00:44:53,427 --> 00:44:56,787
Speaker 18: a great servant to New Zealand rugby you know, we know,

879
00:44:57,027 --> 00:44:59,707
Speaker 18: offer a lot to the environments coming back to New

880
00:44:59,787 --> 00:45:01,467
Speaker 18: Zealand and we're looking forward to welcoming him home.

881
00:45:02,427 --> 00:45:05,187
Speaker 2: Was there any thought given to him being eligible to

882
00:45:05,267 --> 00:45:08,907
Speaker 2: play for the All Blacks earlier than October of next year.

883
00:45:10,467 --> 00:45:12,507
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean I won't get into too many details

884
00:45:12,547 --> 00:45:15,387
Speaker 18: around how the you know we reached our agreements, Piney,

885
00:45:15,467 --> 00:45:20,027
Speaker 18: but clearly we were open to Richie signing for a

886
00:45:20,067 --> 00:45:22,827
Speaker 18: little bit longer, and had that happened, we would have

887
00:45:22,907 --> 00:45:26,387
Speaker 18: been able to, under the policy we have have them

888
00:45:26,867 --> 00:45:28,347
Speaker 18: be eligible for the All Blacks earlier.

889
00:45:28,947 --> 00:45:31,347
Speaker 13: But look, this is this is Richie's decision. We fully

890
00:45:31,427 --> 00:45:31,867
Speaker 13: respect it.

891
00:45:32,747 --> 00:45:35,027
Speaker 18: We're pleased to having him, have him coming home, as

892
00:45:35,067 --> 00:45:38,627
Speaker 18: I said, and ultimately I think he's here. You know,

893
00:45:38,707 --> 00:45:40,387
Speaker 18: he just wants to keep some options open at the moment,

894
00:45:40,387 --> 00:45:41,107
Speaker 18: and we understand that.

895
00:45:41,427 --> 00:45:44,227
Speaker 2: Are you happy with the eligibility rules as they currently stand?

896
00:45:44,267 --> 00:45:46,307
Speaker 2: I know that they're examined all the time. People always

897
00:45:46,347 --> 00:45:47,987
Speaker 2: have their say about them. Are you happy with with

898
00:45:48,107 --> 00:45:51,507
Speaker 2: where they are? And do you continue to examine them

899
00:45:51,547 --> 00:45:52,907
Speaker 2: on a sort of a case by case.

900
00:45:52,787 --> 00:45:57,827
Speaker 18: Basis interesting Yeah, absolutely, we're very comfortable with where the

901
00:45:57,947 --> 00:46:01,427
Speaker 18: policy sits. I think if you look across you know,

902
00:46:01,547 --> 00:46:04,307
Speaker 18: the last five or six years, Piney, you know, the

903
00:46:04,467 --> 00:46:08,507
Speaker 18: vast percentage of amount of talent we want to retain

904
00:46:08,547 --> 00:46:10,547
Speaker 18: in the country we have, and then we've been able

905
00:46:10,587 --> 00:46:15,587
Speaker 18: to provide some flexibility to those long serving athletes that

906
00:46:15,987 --> 00:46:17,867
Speaker 18: you know, we believe have earned the right to have

907
00:46:17,907 --> 00:46:21,867
Speaker 18: those sabbatical arrangements in their contracts and we do treat

908
00:46:21,907 --> 00:46:23,747
Speaker 18: those on a case by case basis, but we've got

909
00:46:23,787 --> 00:46:26,507
Speaker 18: a good sense of what that criteria looks like obviously

910
00:46:26,547 --> 00:46:28,547
Speaker 18: to make those decisions and feel like we've been really

911
00:46:28,627 --> 00:46:29,307
Speaker 18: consistent with those.

912
00:46:29,947 --> 00:46:32,027
Speaker 2: So if we look at the specific example of Richie,

913
00:46:32,627 --> 00:46:35,187
Speaker 2: he will spend three years in Japan, come back to

914
00:46:35,227 --> 00:46:38,027
Speaker 2: New Zealand, play NPC in one Super campaign, go to

915
00:46:38,107 --> 00:46:40,147
Speaker 2: a World Cup and then could go back to Japan.

916
00:46:41,147 --> 00:46:43,747
Speaker 2: How does that reward the commitment that others have made

917
00:46:43,827 --> 00:46:46,307
Speaker 2: to be here for the full World Cup cycle.

918
00:46:47,747 --> 00:46:51,027
Speaker 13: Well, like I said, to the distinction there is that

919
00:46:51,187 --> 00:46:52,907
Speaker 13: he will have to come back and.

920
00:46:55,267 --> 00:47:00,227
Speaker 18: Be eligible for domestic rugby before consideration of being selected

921
00:47:00,267 --> 00:47:02,667
Speaker 18: in the All Blacks whereas others who have signaled long

922
00:47:02,747 --> 00:47:03,987
Speaker 18: term commitments.

923
00:47:04,907 --> 00:47:07,347
Speaker 13: Have that right to come back into the All Blacks

924
00:47:07,427 --> 00:47:08,267
Speaker 13: environment immediately.

925
00:47:08,307 --> 00:47:12,107
Speaker 18: If you look at Jordie this year, that's a classic

926
00:47:12,147 --> 00:47:14,387
Speaker 18: example of that, and others in more recent times obviously

927
00:47:14,427 --> 00:47:14,747
Speaker 18: as well.

928
00:47:14,907 --> 00:47:16,467
Speaker 13: So that is the clear difference here.

929
00:47:17,107 --> 00:47:20,947
Speaker 2: I'm sure Scott Robertson would have wanted Richie earlier. Is

930
00:47:20,987 --> 00:47:23,587
Speaker 2: he happy? Is he comfortable with the arrangement that's been

931
00:47:24,067 --> 00:47:25,987
Speaker 2: reached here about.

932
00:47:25,387 --> 00:47:29,747
Speaker 18: Him, Yeah, obviously, I mean Raser is close to the

933
00:47:29,867 --> 00:47:33,467
Speaker 18: work we're doing and negotiating with Richie and is obviously

934
00:47:34,667 --> 00:47:36,907
Speaker 18: very pleased to have him back and hand. She fully understands.

935
00:47:36,947 --> 00:47:38,747
Speaker 18: I think, you know, at the start of the years,

936
00:47:38,867 --> 00:47:41,587
Speaker 18: reflecting after twelve months in the job, probably had great

937
00:47:41,667 --> 00:47:44,107
Speaker 18: far greater insight as to the tools and the flexibility

938
00:47:44,107 --> 00:47:48,547
Speaker 18: we've got within the eligibility policy, and is very supportive

939
00:47:48,547 --> 00:47:48,667
Speaker 18: of it.

940
00:47:48,667 --> 00:47:49,147
Speaker 13: At the moment.

941
00:47:49,187 --> 00:47:51,467
Speaker 18: And I think, you know, when we look at Leicester,

942
00:47:51,707 --> 00:47:55,027
Speaker 18: Fayonnuku coming back Richie obviously, and then we've got some

943
00:47:55,147 --> 00:47:59,547
Speaker 18: more announcements in coming weeks and months Piney that were

944
00:47:59,587 --> 00:48:02,547
Speaker 18: really really pleased about, you know, leading more out to

945
00:48:02,667 --> 00:48:04,347
Speaker 18: we're looking to twenty eight and twenty nine with a

946
00:48:04,347 --> 00:48:06,267
Speaker 18: lot of the players now and I think that's common

947
00:48:06,627 --> 00:48:09,187
Speaker 18: of the quality of the environments that were we've got

948
00:48:10,467 --> 00:48:12,947
Speaker 18: established here in New Zealand. And I think when we

949
00:48:12,987 --> 00:48:14,867
Speaker 18: look at the calendars, you and I have spoken many

950
00:48:14,907 --> 00:48:16,387
Speaker 18: times on this. When you look at the quality of

951
00:48:16,387 --> 00:48:19,947
Speaker 18: the calendar the next five years, all Black South Africa

952
00:48:20,027 --> 00:48:25,387
Speaker 18: tours next year, the Nation's Cup starting next year, two

953
00:48:25,507 --> 00:48:28,907
Speaker 18: lines tours, you know me Men's and Women's.

954
00:48:29,147 --> 00:48:31,467
Speaker 13: And a World Cup. I think that's got people hugely

955
00:48:31,467 --> 00:48:33,187
Speaker 13: excited about the next four to five years.

956
00:48:33,107 --> 00:48:35,307
Speaker 2: And will it's some look at next year's calendar. I

957
00:48:35,427 --> 00:48:37,867
Speaker 2: don't think it's been finalized, has it? You mentioned though,

958
00:48:38,187 --> 00:48:40,747
Speaker 2: start of the Nation's Cup, the longer format All Blacks

959
00:48:40,787 --> 00:48:43,187
Speaker 2: Tour of South Africa. When are we likely to see

960
00:48:43,347 --> 00:48:45,267
Speaker 2: a final life schedule for twenty twenty.

961
00:48:45,107 --> 00:48:48,267
Speaker 18: Six, hopefully in the next couple of months, Piny. We

962
00:48:48,547 --> 00:48:52,987
Speaker 18: had some really productive meetings in Sydney last week. A

963
00:48:53,107 --> 00:48:56,787
Speaker 18: number of countries came into Sydney, obviously the last week

964
00:48:56,787 --> 00:48:59,587
Speaker 18: of the Lions. Six Nations and Sanze were both here,

965
00:48:59,587 --> 00:49:06,667
Speaker 18: along with World Rugby and certainly Nations Cup. Yeah, South

966
00:49:06,667 --> 00:49:11,787
Speaker 18: Africa All Blacks concept and the work on the lines

967
00:49:11,827 --> 00:49:13,987
Speaker 18: too has all got a really major push forward, and

968
00:49:13,987 --> 00:49:16,067
Speaker 18: we're feeling really confident now that we can come out

969
00:49:16,147 --> 00:49:19,747
Speaker 18: soon hopefully and share more information more formally about those.

970
00:49:19,667 --> 00:49:21,347
Speaker 2: All Right, So that's South African Tour. I mean there's

971
00:49:21,507 --> 00:49:24,787
Speaker 2: huge anticipation about that. What are we talking here, Robert?

972
00:49:24,867 --> 00:49:27,427
Speaker 2: Is it like six to eight weeks away for these guys?

973
00:49:27,547 --> 00:49:30,067
Speaker 2: Is it three tests and some other games against teams

974
00:49:30,107 --> 00:49:31,587
Speaker 2: over there? Is that kind of what we're looking at.

975
00:49:32,667 --> 00:49:34,667
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean I don't want to you know, we

976
00:49:34,787 --> 00:49:36,987
Speaker 18: will reserve you know, the opportunity to talk about it

977
00:49:37,147 --> 00:49:38,747
Speaker 18: more in coming weeks, as we say, but.

978
00:49:40,147 --> 00:49:41,907
Speaker 13: It is definitely an old school tour.

979
00:49:42,027 --> 00:49:45,227
Speaker 18: There will be the traditional midweek games about the strong

980
00:49:45,387 --> 00:49:49,107
Speaker 18: against the strongest South African provincial teams, and then obviously

981
00:49:49,587 --> 00:49:52,147
Speaker 18: a significant test component as well. So it will run

982
00:49:52,227 --> 00:49:55,947
Speaker 18: over six to seven weeks from sort of you know,

983
00:49:56,067 --> 00:49:56,947
Speaker 18: early to middle August.

984
00:49:58,027 --> 00:50:00,827
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking forward to that, Lions. You were in Australia,

985
00:50:00,867 --> 00:50:03,067
Speaker 2: as you say, when the British and Irish lines were

986
00:50:03,107 --> 00:50:05,867
Speaker 2: there over the last month or so. We're on track,

987
00:50:05,947 --> 00:50:09,387
Speaker 2: are we? The men in coming in twenty twenty nine

988
00:50:09,427 --> 00:50:12,307
Speaker 2: and the inaugural women's tour here in twenty twenty seven.

989
00:50:13,587 --> 00:50:16,347
Speaker 18: Yeah, well, obviously we were getting a lot more advanced

990
00:50:16,387 --> 00:50:19,747
Speaker 18: with the women's tour because it's closer at hand, and

991
00:50:21,147 --> 00:50:23,347
Speaker 18: we're feeling really excited about that. I mean, we got

992
00:50:23,387 --> 00:50:25,907
Speaker 18: to a stage where we're starting to lock in the

993
00:50:26,667 --> 00:50:31,787
Speaker 18: schedule a lot more detail and you know, I think

994
00:50:31,827 --> 00:50:34,667
Speaker 18: people are going to be, you know, shoes excited about

995
00:50:34,667 --> 00:50:37,387
Speaker 18: what we're bringing to the country then, so we make

996
00:50:37,467 --> 00:50:40,027
Speaker 18: good progress there and need to be you know, that's

997
00:50:40,067 --> 00:50:43,187
Speaker 18: not that far away now. With the men's it was

998
00:50:43,227 --> 00:50:46,187
Speaker 18: probably an opportunity to step back. But obviously in the

999
00:50:46,267 --> 00:50:49,347
Speaker 18: last two tours the lines have introduced a JV model

1000
00:50:49,427 --> 00:50:54,387
Speaker 18: with South Africa in twenty twenty one in Australia for

1001
00:50:54,467 --> 00:50:57,387
Speaker 18: this year, so it was our first real opportunity to

1002
00:50:57,867 --> 00:51:00,187
Speaker 18: have a look at what that really entails, and.

1003
00:51:01,667 --> 00:51:04,307
Speaker 13: Look, we think that'll work really well. You know, it's

1004
00:51:04,307 --> 00:51:04,867
Speaker 13: for New Zealand.

1005
00:51:04,867 --> 00:51:07,107
Speaker 18: It might be slightly different to what was in South

1006
00:51:07,147 --> 00:51:10,907
Speaker 18: Africa and Australia because they're all different markets, but overall

1007
00:51:10,947 --> 00:51:14,667
Speaker 18: we think it's a model worth giving greater consideration too.

1008
00:51:14,707 --> 00:51:16,267
Speaker 18: So we spent a lot of time talking about that,

1009
00:51:17,027 --> 00:51:23,627
Speaker 18: and then again we looked at schedules, venues, you know, dates,

1010
00:51:24,147 --> 00:51:28,547
Speaker 18: you know, everything really as it would relate around the

1011
00:51:28,667 --> 00:51:33,187
Speaker 18: tour itself across those weeks from late late June twenty

1012
00:51:33,267 --> 00:51:35,827
Speaker 18: twenty nine through to sort of early August, and then

1013
00:51:35,907 --> 00:51:37,787
Speaker 18: talked a little bit about you know, what more can

1014
00:51:37,827 --> 00:51:39,987
Speaker 18: we be doing in the intervening years to be building

1015
00:51:40,107 --> 00:51:45,547
Speaker 18: hype and creating really real anticipation across I Guest twenty six,

1016
00:51:45,667 --> 00:51:47,947
Speaker 18: twenty seven, twenty eight as well and that wouldn't be

1017
00:51:47,987 --> 00:51:50,747
Speaker 18: any additional fixtures obviously, but there's you know a lot

1018
00:51:50,787 --> 00:51:52,707
Speaker 18: of different things we could probably be doing to build

1019
00:51:52,827 --> 00:51:54,667
Speaker 18: more anticipation for that tour as well. So it was

1020
00:51:54,947 --> 00:51:58,107
Speaker 18: a fantastic you know, I see the meetings, We had

1021
00:51:58,107 --> 00:52:02,347
Speaker 18: a whole day with them, with our appropriate team members

1022
00:52:02,387 --> 00:52:04,267
Speaker 18: and theirs, and yeah, we're feeling really good about it.

1023
00:52:04,507 --> 00:52:07,867
Speaker 2: How us the joint venture arrangement differ from how it's

1024
00:52:07,907 --> 00:52:09,227
Speaker 2: been done previously.

1025
00:52:10,267 --> 00:52:14,747
Speaker 18: Well, you essentially you take all of the different rights

1026
00:52:14,827 --> 00:52:18,707
Speaker 18: that apply to the to the tour in terms of

1027
00:52:18,987 --> 00:52:23,227
Speaker 18: you know, revenue opportunities and basically build a model that

1028
00:52:23,747 --> 00:52:26,467
Speaker 18: where where some of those are shared. Some of those

1029
00:52:26,547 --> 00:52:28,787
Speaker 18: might be kept more separate to the lines in New

1030
00:52:28,867 --> 00:52:31,827
Speaker 18: Zealand Rugby, but by and large you take a lot

1031
00:52:31,867 --> 00:52:37,227
Speaker 18: more sort of collaborative approach to building building essentially building

1032
00:52:37,227 --> 00:52:38,787
Speaker 18: as large as pie as you can piney on the

1033
00:52:38,787 --> 00:52:40,947
Speaker 18: commercial side, and then figuring out how you can share that.

1034
00:52:41,027 --> 00:52:43,347
Speaker 18: And it won't go into too much more detail than that,

1035
00:52:43,467 --> 00:52:47,987
Speaker 18: but if you take things like you know, broadcasts matched

1036
00:52:48,027 --> 00:52:54,547
Speaker 18: a merchandise and real retailing, hospitality and tours, you know,

1037
00:52:54,667 --> 00:52:57,347
Speaker 18: all of that stuff combined and figure out a way

1038
00:52:57,427 --> 00:53:00,027
Speaker 18: in which it can be shared that you know that

1039
00:53:00,187 --> 00:53:03,507
Speaker 18: we think will create a lot more benefit for both parties.

1040
00:53:04,427 --> 00:53:08,267
Speaker 2: Rugby three sixty store continue to pop up about some

1041
00:53:08,787 --> 00:53:13,067
Speaker 2: massive sums of money reportedly being offered to top players,

1042
00:53:13,147 --> 00:53:15,147
Speaker 2: not only here in New Zealand but around the world.

1043
00:53:15,827 --> 00:53:19,307
Speaker 2: How concerned are you about the threat of Rugby three sixty.

1044
00:53:21,227 --> 00:53:27,187
Speaker 18: We're obviously staying pretty close to this work, and I

1045
00:53:27,267 --> 00:53:30,907
Speaker 18: think at this stage point it's fair to say, yeah, clearly,

1046
00:53:31,107 --> 00:53:34,307
Speaker 18: the people behind it are very serious. You know, they've

1047
00:53:34,307 --> 00:53:35,987
Speaker 18: got a vision of what they are looking to achieve

1048
00:53:36,067 --> 00:53:38,667
Speaker 18: in the club game. But there's still a huge amount

1049
00:53:38,707 --> 00:53:42,307
Speaker 18: of work to be done and there's still a lot

1050
00:53:42,347 --> 00:53:46,507
Speaker 18: of information that needs to be provided and understood before

1051
00:53:47,227 --> 00:53:50,147
Speaker 18: you know, we're very clear if this can take place

1052
00:53:50,267 --> 00:53:53,987
Speaker 18: or not. But we're comfortable with that. We've got good

1053
00:53:54,027 --> 00:53:57,347
Speaker 18: insights and heavy appropriate information we need to understand at

1054
00:53:57,387 --> 00:53:57,867
Speaker 18: the moment on it.

1055
00:53:58,067 --> 00:53:59,187
Speaker 2: Do you think it will go ahead?

1056
00:54:00,827 --> 00:54:03,947
Speaker 13: I look, like I said, you know, there's it's really

1057
00:54:03,987 --> 00:54:07,067
Speaker 13: too early to say. I mean, I.

1058
00:54:08,547 --> 00:54:11,987
Speaker 18: Think there's, you know, over the cooming sort of six

1059
00:54:12,067 --> 00:54:14,547
Speaker 18: to eight weeks, some things could be clear. There's another

1060
00:54:14,627 --> 00:54:19,747
Speaker 18: set of of you know, global meetings in London around

1061
00:54:21,067 --> 00:54:23,547
Speaker 18: Rugby World Cup for the Woman's at the end of September,

1062
00:54:24,347 --> 00:54:26,067
Speaker 18: and I think there'll be another set of information made

1063
00:54:26,107 --> 00:54:29,467
Speaker 18: available then and we might have a clearer picture. But

1064
00:54:29,587 --> 00:54:31,387
Speaker 18: there's you know, there's still a lot of stuff to

1065
00:54:31,387 --> 00:54:35,147
Speaker 18: be understood before anyone could be confident that will be

1066
00:54:35,187 --> 00:54:35,627
Speaker 18: going ahead.

1067
00:54:35,787 --> 00:54:38,027
Speaker 2: All right, we'll keep eyes on that. Our Black Ferns

1068
00:54:38,147 --> 00:54:39,907
Speaker 2: on the plane next week, I think to defend their

1069
00:54:39,947 --> 00:54:42,787
Speaker 2: World Cup title in the Northern Hemisphere. How confident are

1070
00:54:42,867 --> 00:54:46,227
Speaker 2: you feeling about their chances of winning a third straight

1071
00:54:46,667 --> 00:54:47,907
Speaker 2: Women's Rugby World Cup.

1072
00:54:49,467 --> 00:54:52,547
Speaker 13: Well, you know, it's firstly, it's just hugely exciting.

1073
00:54:52,627 --> 00:54:55,707
Speaker 18: It's always exciting for the country and the fans and

1074
00:54:56,147 --> 00:54:57,947
Speaker 18: certainly rugby across New Zealand to be going to a

1075
00:54:57,987 --> 00:55:01,827
Speaker 18: pinnacle event. You know, we certainly know the English and

1076
00:55:01,947 --> 00:55:05,347
Speaker 18: the team that everyone is talking about and a clear favorites.

1077
00:55:05,787 --> 00:55:09,467
Speaker 18: But we're we're reasonably comfortable with how we're tracking. We

1078
00:55:10,347 --> 00:55:14,667
Speaker 18: got some really good we're done and review at the

1079
00:55:14,747 --> 00:55:16,147
Speaker 18: end of last year. We're clearly there are a few

1080
00:55:16,187 --> 00:55:19,667
Speaker 18: results we weren't and the team and Alan weren't entirely

1081
00:55:19,707 --> 00:55:22,667
Speaker 18: comfortable with, and we think we've built into this year

1082
00:55:22,747 --> 00:55:23,227
Speaker 18: quite nicely.

1083
00:55:23,267 --> 00:55:24,267
Speaker 13: Obviously, the transition of.

1084
00:55:24,227 --> 00:55:27,187
Speaker 18: The sevens players has been a list of the environment,

1085
00:55:27,387 --> 00:55:29,707
Speaker 18: and you know, we've had pretty good preparation leading in.

1086
00:55:29,907 --> 00:55:31,907
Speaker 13: So yeah, we think we've got a great chance.

1087
00:55:32,667 --> 00:55:34,787
Speaker 18: We think we're building and improving all the time, which

1088
00:55:34,827 --> 00:55:37,427
Speaker 18: is a nice place to be going into a tournament

1089
00:55:37,547 --> 00:55:41,187
Speaker 18: like this. I don't think our form is at all plateaued.

1090
00:55:41,427 --> 00:55:44,027
Speaker 18: We're still sort of getting better week on week. So look,

1091
00:55:44,067 --> 00:55:45,907
Speaker 18: we're looking forward to it. You know, we hopefully we

1092
00:55:45,947 --> 00:55:48,867
Speaker 18: can get into a position where we're at the business

1093
00:55:48,987 --> 00:55:51,427
Speaker 18: end of the tournament, of the playoffs, and then really.

1094
00:55:51,267 --> 00:55:52,787
Speaker 13: They are anyone's games, aren't they.

1095
00:55:52,787 --> 00:55:54,787
Speaker 18: They're very close to the margins and curb be fine

1096
00:55:54,827 --> 00:55:58,347
Speaker 18: in the men's and women's game at the moment international level,

1097
00:55:58,787 --> 00:56:00,707
Speaker 18: men's sevens and fifteen.

1098
00:56:00,827 --> 00:56:03,227
Speaker 13: So yeah, we think we've got a good shot. We're

1099
00:56:03,227 --> 00:56:03,747
Speaker 13: looking forward to it.

1100
00:56:04,467 --> 00:56:06,107
Speaker 2: How are we going with finding your replacement?

1101
00:56:07,787 --> 00:56:12,027
Speaker 13: You're asking the wrong You got the wrong person on

1102
00:56:12,067 --> 00:56:14,947
Speaker 13: the interview for that, Piney. Look, I think I think

1103
00:56:15,707 --> 00:56:19,667
Speaker 13: the boarder getting into position to be in in market

1104
00:56:19,707 --> 00:56:20,147
Speaker 13: pretty soon.

1105
00:56:22,587 --> 00:56:24,827
Speaker 2: I mean, you know again, I know you're you're right,

1106
00:56:24,907 --> 00:56:27,307
Speaker 2: you're the wrong person to ask, But what does that

1107
00:56:27,467 --> 00:56:29,547
Speaker 2: look like in terms of a handover that sort of thing,

1108
00:56:29,627 --> 00:56:32,187
Speaker 2: and a timefram like what are we today, We're sort

1109
00:56:32,187 --> 00:56:34,787
Speaker 2: of early August. Are you looking sort of in the

1110
00:56:34,827 --> 00:56:36,707
Speaker 2: next couple of months that you will have some sort

1111
00:56:36,707 --> 00:56:38,907
Speaker 2: of clarity around who it is and then be able

1112
00:56:38,947 --> 00:56:40,227
Speaker 2: to give them a decent hand of it.

1113
00:56:42,107 --> 00:56:44,467
Speaker 13: Well, well, again, that's not for me to determine, point

1114
00:56:44,507 --> 00:56:44,987
Speaker 13: I certainly.

1115
00:56:45,067 --> 00:56:47,107
Speaker 18: What I would say is I'll do anything I possibly

1116
00:56:47,187 --> 00:56:50,907
Speaker 18: can to help with the transition and to support the

1117
00:56:50,947 --> 00:56:54,347
Speaker 18: board with with any insights or information they they want

1118
00:56:54,947 --> 00:56:58,027
Speaker 18: from me. And if it works, you know, if I'm

1119
00:56:58,067 --> 00:57:00,627
Speaker 18: still in post when when the new person's coming in,

1120
00:57:00,747 --> 00:57:04,667
Speaker 18: obviously that'll that'll work really seamlessly provide some form of handover,

1121
00:57:05,067 --> 00:57:06,667
Speaker 18: and if not, I'm very open to what that could

1122
00:57:06,707 --> 00:57:09,547
Speaker 18: look like as well. So so again you know, I'm

1123
00:57:10,027 --> 00:57:12,227
Speaker 18: here and I love the organization, I love the game

1124
00:57:12,267 --> 00:57:13,907
Speaker 18: in our country, and we do what I can to

1125
00:57:13,987 --> 00:57:14,427
Speaker 18: support that.

1126
00:57:14,547 --> 00:57:18,147
Speaker 13: But ultimately it's for you know, for the board to

1127
00:57:18,227 --> 00:57:19,707
Speaker 13: be working through at the moment, and no day are

1128
00:57:19,787 --> 00:57:20,027
Speaker 13: doing that.

1129
00:57:20,227 --> 00:57:22,827

1132
00:57:28,427 --> 00:57:29,347
Speaker 2: you do knock it on the head.

1133
00:57:30,107 --> 00:57:31,067
Speaker 13: I'd love to do that, Pinney.

1134
00:57:31,147 --> 00:57:34,627
Speaker 18: Thanks, thanks very much as always to Shedding and hopefully

Speaker 18: coming up in the next few weeks.

1137
00:57:37,667 --> 00:57:40,427
Speaker 2: Indeed, I'm sure we will, Thanks Mark Mark Robinson, CEO

1138
00:57:40,627 --> 00:57:42,587
Speaker 2: of New Zealand Rugby. Of course until the end of

1139
00:57:42,627 --> 00:57:45,987
Speaker 2: the year anyway, and yes there are some some exciting

1140
00:57:46,067 --> 00:57:47,987
Speaker 2: Rugby to b scene, particularly around the black Ferns. Of

1141
00:57:48,027 --> 00:57:50,267
Speaker 2: course they head off to their Rugby World Cup Georgia

1142
00:57:50,307 --> 00:57:53,307
Speaker 2: Miller incident. He's on the show after two o'clock as

1143
00:57:53,347 --> 00:57:56,587
Speaker 2: they prepare to go into battle. Range of topics covered

1144
00:57:56,627 --> 00:57:59,067
Speaker 2: off there by Mark Robinson. You can pick up on

1145
00:58:00,067 --> 00:58:01,947
Speaker 2: any of those, You're more than welcome to do so

1146
00:58:02,027 --> 00:58:03,347
Speaker 2: we can open the lines for a bit O eight

1147
00:58:03,387 --> 00:58:05,307
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty. We spoke a lot

1148
00:58:05,947 --> 00:58:08,827
Speaker 2: about the Richie wong A situation yesterday, but if you

1149
00:58:08,907 --> 00:58:11,747
Speaker 2: want to add your two cents, more than happy for

1150
00:58:11,827 --> 00:58:14,067
Speaker 2: you to do that. I know this divided opinion over this,

1151
00:58:15,387 --> 00:58:20,547
Speaker 2: but I like the fact that loyalty is rewarded. It

1152
00:58:20,707 --> 00:58:24,587
Speaker 2: is a free country. It's a free market. Players can

1153
00:58:24,667 --> 00:58:29,027
Speaker 2: do whatever they like. A player can decide to stay

1154
00:58:29,027 --> 00:58:31,187
Speaker 2: in New Zealand or they can decide to take up

1155
00:58:31,627 --> 00:58:34,667
Speaker 2: and offer overseas. They can do whatever they like. But

1156
00:58:34,827 --> 00:58:39,587
Speaker 2: unless you're on sabbatical, you cannot come straight back into

1157
00:58:39,627 --> 00:58:45,067
Speaker 2: the All Blacks. Leicesterifying playing for Tasman before he can

1158
00:58:45,107 --> 00:58:48,347
Speaker 2: play for the All Blacks again. He's back right, caught

1159
00:58:48,387 --> 00:58:50,587
Speaker 2: the eye with a couple of tries yesterday, but he

1160
00:58:50,667 --> 00:58:53,867
Speaker 2: can't play for the All Blacks until Indy year tour.

1161
00:58:53,867 --> 00:58:55,787
Speaker 2: I think it is rich and Wong are the same.

1162
00:58:55,987 --> 00:58:59,067
Speaker 2: He'll have to play NPC for Canterbury next year before

1163
00:58:59,107 --> 00:59:02,027
Speaker 2: he can play for the All Blacks now. The counterpoint

1164
00:59:02,067 --> 00:59:05,147
Speaker 2: to that, of course, is what is best for the

1165
00:59:05,227 --> 00:59:09,747
Speaker 2: All Blacks? Should that be elevated in importance. Would it

1166
00:59:09,827 --> 00:59:11,907
Speaker 2: be better for the All Blacks chances of winning the

1167
00:59:11,947 --> 00:59:15,107
Speaker 2: Rugby World Cup in twenty twenty seven if Richie Mouonger

1168
00:59:15,147 --> 00:59:17,187
Speaker 2: could join the All Blacks in South Africa next year

1169
00:59:17,787 --> 00:59:20,507
Speaker 2: for that six to eight week tour and be integrated

1170
00:59:20,587 --> 00:59:23,907
Speaker 2: back in as soon as possible. Would that improve the

1171
00:59:23,947 --> 00:59:26,347
Speaker 2: All Blacks chances of winning the Rugby World Cup the

1172
00:59:26,347 --> 00:59:30,667
Speaker 2: following year? The answer is probably yes, the sooner the better.

1173
00:59:31,107 --> 00:59:33,867
Speaker 2: I'm sure Razor feels that way. The sooner the better.

1174
00:59:34,667 --> 00:59:36,947
Speaker 2: But as we spoke about yesterday, there's a balance to

1175
00:59:37,027 --> 00:59:41,107
Speaker 2: be struck here between success at all costs and the

1176
00:59:41,187 --> 00:59:45,107
Speaker 2: wider discussion around contracting and loyalty, and to be honest,

1177
00:59:45,147 --> 00:59:48,347
Speaker 2: the two things don't have to be mutually exclusive. The

1178
00:59:48,427 --> 00:59:51,307
Speaker 2: All Blacks can still win the World Cup and Richie

1179
00:59:51,347 --> 00:59:53,387
Speaker 2: mo Wonger can still play a significant role in it,

1180
00:59:53,467 --> 00:59:55,267
Speaker 2: even if he doesn't rejoin the team until locked over

1181
00:59:55,347 --> 00:59:58,667
Speaker 2: next year. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty to

1182
00:59:58,747 --> 01:00:01,267
Speaker 2: kick around some rugby topics, got some cricket to talk

1183
01:00:01,307 --> 01:00:04,387
Speaker 2: as well. James mcconi before too. It's one twenty six.

1184
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,707
Speaker 2: We're back in a moment y more than just a game.

1185
01:00:08,067 --> 01:00:11,867
Speaker 1: Weekends for it with Jason Hine and g J. Garnomes,

1186
01:00:12,107 --> 01:00:14,547
Speaker 1: New Zealand's most trusted home builder News Talks.

1187
01:00:14,547 --> 01:00:17,107
Speaker 2: The b News Talks will be one twenty eight months,

1188
01:00:17,147 --> 01:00:19,507
Speaker 2: says I love that strategy. Show loyalty to us and

1189
01:00:19,587 --> 01:00:20,827
Speaker 2: we'll let you play for us faster.

1190
01:00:21,027 --> 01:00:21,187
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1191
01:00:21,227 --> 01:00:23,747
Speaker 2: I think that's it, isn't it, Muss? You know sabbaticals

1192
01:00:23,747 --> 01:00:26,827
Speaker 2: are different. Jeordy Barrett sabbatical, but came straight back in.

1193
01:00:26,987 --> 01:00:30,747
Speaker 2: Ardie Savvier sabbatical, came straight back in. You're still contracted

1194
01:00:30,787 --> 01:00:32,907
Speaker 2: and have shown a commitment over a long period to

1195
01:00:32,947 --> 01:00:35,827
Speaker 2: the All Blacks. Difference with the likes of Richard Warnger,

1196
01:00:35,867 --> 01:00:39,347
Speaker 2: Lestifying and Nikols Shanafrazel those sorts of players is that

1197
01:00:39,467 --> 01:00:42,267
Speaker 2: they've gone away. They've they're not under contract with New

1198
01:00:42,347 --> 01:00:45,907
Speaker 2: Zealand Rugby. They've gone away, picked up a contract elsewhere

1199
01:00:46,027 --> 01:00:49,507
Speaker 2: and now have come back, as is their right. I've

1200
01:00:49,547 --> 01:00:51,667
Speaker 2: come back and said, yeah, I'm interested in chatting to

1201
01:00:51,707 --> 01:00:53,947
Speaker 2: you again about a contract. Look, Jerome Kinall did it

1202
01:00:54,827 --> 01:00:59,787
Speaker 2: after twenty eleven, went away a couple of years in Japan,

1203
01:01:00,227 --> 01:01:06,867
Speaker 2: came back and picked up again and was Magne magnificent

1204
01:01:06,987 --> 01:01:09,507
Speaker 2: for us, so much so that I'm not too sure.

1205
01:01:10,227 --> 01:01:13,707
Speaker 2: I'm not too sure we've ever found an adequate replacement

1206
01:01:13,827 --> 01:01:14,147
Speaker 2: for him.

1207
01:01:14,267 --> 01:01:19,947
Speaker 4: Hello, philp okay, finy, very good mate, excellent.

1208
01:01:20,787 --> 01:01:22,827
Speaker 19: You know I quick running on the Warriors as well.

1209
01:01:24,787 --> 01:01:27,627
Speaker 2: Let's do let's do let's do that first. What did

1210
01:01:27,667 --> 01:01:28,147
Speaker 2: you make of it.

1211
01:01:30,067 --> 01:01:32,107
Speaker 19: Or didn't look good? I was going to say, Poney,

1212
01:01:32,147 --> 01:01:33,987
Speaker 19: I watched the game last night. The whole thing in

1213
01:01:34,067 --> 01:01:37,627
Speaker 19: the pouring rain, monsoon weather. But and I didn't. I

1214
01:01:37,747 --> 01:01:39,787
Speaker 19: tried to get through earlier on but I didn't make it.

1215
01:01:39,907 --> 01:01:42,587
Speaker 19: But I don't want to be missedter negative, you know,

1216
01:01:42,827 --> 01:01:45,307
Speaker 19: like kind of thing, because I hope they will get through.

1217
01:01:45,387 --> 01:01:48,187
Speaker 19: But I started thinking yesterday because I tried to get

1218
01:01:48,187 --> 01:01:52,947
Speaker 19: through yesterday too. I started thinking yesterday, and then after

1219
01:01:53,027 --> 01:01:55,707
Speaker 19: that game, like you, I started thinking, jeez, I wanted

1220
01:01:55,707 --> 01:01:57,507
Speaker 19: to they're going to even make the top eight now

1221
01:01:57,707 --> 01:02:00,267
Speaker 19: sort of they're on the slide, even with all their injuries.

1222
01:02:00,347 --> 01:02:03,107
Speaker 19: You know, when you sort of you think of their

1223
01:02:03,187 --> 01:02:06,867
Speaker 19: wins that they've had and they weren't that they weren't vincing,

1224
01:02:06,947 --> 01:02:09,267
Speaker 19: you know, they haven't been convincing wins in those last

1225
01:02:09,307 --> 01:02:11,267
Speaker 19: six or seven games. And the way they lost to

1226
01:02:11,347 --> 01:02:13,707
Speaker 19: the Dolphins. I watched that game too, and I thought

1227
01:02:14,427 --> 01:02:16,467
Speaker 19: at the end, with less than a minute ago, and

1228
01:02:16,547 --> 01:02:18,587
Speaker 19: the way they stood off the players and just let

1229
01:02:18,707 --> 01:02:21,347
Speaker 19: those Dolphin players fine go one way, go the next

1230
01:02:21,387 --> 01:02:22,867
Speaker 19: way until they finally got through.

1231
01:02:23,227 --> 01:02:23,627
Speaker 13: I thought.

1232
01:02:24,187 --> 01:02:26,987
Speaker 19: I was thinking before the game was over and that

1233
01:02:27,107 --> 01:02:28,867
Speaker 19: last minute, they're going to lose this because they're not

1234
01:02:28,907 --> 01:02:30,467
Speaker 19: getting up on them, you know, at least trying to

1235
01:02:30,467 --> 01:02:33,987
Speaker 19: shut them down and put pressure on them. But yeah,

1236
01:02:34,027 --> 01:02:39,707
Speaker 19: I last night, they they made they made a few mistakes,

1237
01:02:39,787 --> 01:02:44,227
Speaker 19: even even Roger made a couple of mistakes, and they

1238
01:02:44,387 --> 01:02:46,147
Speaker 19: just didn't seem to be able to find a way

1239
01:02:46,227 --> 01:02:49,787
Speaker 19: to break through the Bulldogs, which were in credit to

1240
01:02:49,827 --> 01:02:57,187
Speaker 19: their defense, but also they you know, the Bulldogs playing

1241
01:02:57,267 --> 01:02:59,627
Speaker 19: in the same conditions, but they didn't make the mistakes

1242
01:02:59,667 --> 01:03:02,507
Speaker 19: and they saw through the ball. And we worry about

1243
01:03:02,587 --> 01:03:04,547
Speaker 19: the right hand side and that sort of thing, but

1244
01:03:04,667 --> 01:03:07,547
Speaker 19: last night the Bulldogs found side the left hand and

1245
01:03:07,667 --> 01:03:09,667
Speaker 19: the right hand side and the way to score tries.

1246
01:03:09,787 --> 01:03:14,347
Speaker 19: So ah, yeah, yeah, Like I say, I hope they

1247
01:03:14,707 --> 01:03:16,307
Speaker 19: get there, and I want to see them do it,

1248
01:03:16,467 --> 01:03:18,587
Speaker 19: but I'm a bit, I'm a bit concerned.

1249
01:03:19,107 --> 01:03:21,267
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, well I don't think there are only

1250
01:03:21,307 --> 01:03:24,907
Speaker 2: one today. Phil. It's been sort of furrowing our brows

1251
01:03:24,987 --> 01:03:27,307
Speaker 2: for the last month or so, this this little slump

1252
01:03:27,387 --> 01:03:31,347
Speaker 2: that they find themselves in. I'm like you, I'm I

1253
01:03:31,627 --> 01:03:34,307
Speaker 2: know you'll you'll pick yourself up and be ready to

1254
01:03:34,347 --> 01:03:37,547
Speaker 2: support them again on Friday when the when the dragons

1255
01:03:37,627 --> 01:03:40,787
Speaker 2: come calling. But yeah, it's just it's just a little

1256
01:03:40,787 --> 01:03:44,267
Speaker 2: bit negley at the moment. As they negotiate the back

1257
01:03:44,347 --> 01:03:44,907
Speaker 2: end of the season.

1258
01:03:46,107 --> 01:03:48,467
Speaker 19: Yeah, because that That's the other thing. Funny thing is

1259
01:03:48,907 --> 01:03:50,827
Speaker 19: I've been watching the l for years and years and

1260
01:03:50,947 --> 01:03:52,907
Speaker 19: years and way back in the in the day and

1261
01:03:52,947 --> 01:03:56,587
Speaker 19: the Dragons and my team actually you know that I followed,

1262
01:03:56,627 --> 01:03:58,267
Speaker 19: But like I say, always, I want to see the

1263
01:03:58,347 --> 01:04:01,147
Speaker 19: Warriors do well because of the key, we think. But yeah,

1264
01:04:01,187 --> 01:04:03,507
Speaker 19: that's the thing too, the running you know that they've

1265
01:04:03,547 --> 01:04:07,787
Speaker 19: got now, I mean, the Dragon won't be easy, and

1266
01:04:07,907 --> 01:04:09,867
Speaker 19: they've got to play the Sea Eagles and I'll be

1267
01:04:10,067 --> 01:04:12,827
Speaker 19: top and we know the history of the Titans that

1268
01:04:12,907 --> 01:04:15,507
Speaker 19: seem to be their bogey team. And the only thing

1269
01:04:15,627 --> 01:04:17,347
Speaker 19: that I'm not sure about is how the Eels are

1270
01:04:17,427 --> 01:04:19,267
Speaker 19: going and what sort of chance they'll get there. But

1271
01:04:20,787 --> 01:04:23,147
Speaker 19: that's that. So I'll go on the Richard my wrong.

1272
01:04:23,187 --> 01:04:27,627
Speaker 19: I think, yeah, I think it's good. I like what

1273
01:04:27,787 --> 01:04:30,107
Speaker 19: Mode says you and you said about show a bit

1274
01:04:30,147 --> 01:04:33,227
Speaker 19: of loyalty you know, and will reward you. But I'm

1275
01:04:33,267 --> 01:04:36,867
Speaker 19: also in two minds because I'm thinking as well that, well,

1276
01:04:37,827 --> 01:04:40,107
Speaker 19: do you do what's best for the team and the

1277
01:04:40,267 --> 01:04:43,907
Speaker 19: chances of it winning, you know, So yeah, I'm in

1278
01:04:43,987 --> 01:04:47,027
Speaker 19: two minds about something. I think there needs to be

1279
01:04:48,427 --> 01:04:53,427
Speaker 19: a bit of a reward for loyalty showing. But then,

1280
01:04:53,547 --> 01:04:55,707
Speaker 19: like I say, at the end of the day, if

1281
01:04:55,787 --> 01:05:00,387
Speaker 19: you want to win, you put in your best everything

1282
01:05:00,427 --> 01:05:01,107
Speaker 19: you've got, don't you.

1283
01:05:01,227 --> 01:05:01,387
Speaker 13: You know?

1284
01:05:02,067 --> 01:05:03,907
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I don't think, like I said before, Phil,

1285
01:05:03,947 --> 01:05:05,787
Speaker 2: I don't think the two things are mutual league exclusive

1286
01:05:05,827 --> 01:05:08,187
Speaker 2: as long as I haven't got any first fives. And

1287
01:05:08,867 --> 01:05:12,187
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm sure Razor would have His starting position

1288
01:05:12,267 --> 01:05:15,027
Speaker 2: would have been get Richie back and get him, get

1289
01:05:15,107 --> 01:05:16,627
Speaker 2: him in as soon as possible. That would have been

1290
01:05:16,667 --> 01:05:19,987
Speaker 2: his starting position. And I'm sure he's just had to

1291
01:05:20,067 --> 01:05:22,867
Speaker 2: compromise from there because he's made no secret of the

1292
01:05:22,907 --> 01:05:25,347
Speaker 2: fact that he wants Richie Wonger back, that that hasn't

1293
01:05:25,387 --> 01:05:29,787
Speaker 2: been at issue at all. But I think, and I

1294
01:05:29,867 --> 01:05:32,107
Speaker 2: heard Mark Robinson soon another interview during the week that

1295
01:05:32,387 --> 01:05:36,307
Speaker 2: that he Scott Robinson is quite comfortable with the decision

1296
01:05:36,347 --> 01:05:39,467
Speaker 2: that's been made, uh, you know, and and and Richie

1297
01:05:39,547 --> 01:05:42,867
Speaker 2: is available in October of next year, and he's accepted

1298
01:05:42,907 --> 01:05:45,627
Speaker 2: that as he has to, because it's his bosses giving

1299
01:05:45,707 --> 01:05:49,587
Speaker 2: him a directive. And he'll he'll he'll box on and

1300
01:05:49,747 --> 01:05:51,707
Speaker 2: like I say, it's not not too bad when you've

1301
01:05:51,707 --> 01:05:55,707
Speaker 2: got Boden Barrett, Damien McKenzie, Ruben Love as your other options.

1302
01:05:56,947 --> 01:05:58,707
Speaker 19: Yeah, well that's was that. That's the other thing I

1303
01:05:58,787 --> 01:06:00,507
Speaker 19: was going to say, like yesterday when I when I

1304
01:06:00,547 --> 01:06:02,307
Speaker 19: was trying to get through, and I was going to say, well,

1305
01:06:02,747 --> 01:06:04,507
Speaker 19: you're not in a bad position when you've got a

1306
01:06:04,547 --> 01:06:07,787
Speaker 19: guy like bo and bear it, you know with some

1307
01:06:08,507 --> 01:06:10,587
Speaker 19: A couple of people said, oh, he's not much of

1308
01:06:10,627 --> 01:06:12,467
Speaker 19: an halfbiged sort of thing, and I thought, come on,

1309
01:06:13,027 --> 01:06:15,267
Speaker 19: you know, and you know that he can play number

1310
01:06:15,347 --> 01:06:17,627
Speaker 19: ten and if you really need to you can slide

1311
01:06:17,707 --> 01:06:19,427
Speaker 19: him back. You know, a hell of a player also

1312
01:06:19,547 --> 01:06:22,787
Speaker 19: that can you slote him back then fall back. So yeah,

1313
01:06:23,227 --> 01:06:24,907
Speaker 19: he's not in a bed position at all.

1314
01:06:27,067 --> 01:06:29,747
Speaker 2: I think they'll be okay, Phil, I think they'll be okay.

1315
01:06:30,067 --> 01:06:32,227
Speaker 2: I'm glad Richie's coming back. I think most of us

1316
01:06:32,307 --> 01:06:35,667
Speaker 2: are terrific player well enhance our chances of winning the

1317
01:06:35,747 --> 01:06:37,987
Speaker 2: Rugby World Cup. But as we spoke about yesterday, it's

1318
01:06:37,987 --> 01:06:40,707
Speaker 2: going to be an interesting man management challenge for Scott

1319
01:06:40,787 --> 01:06:42,307
Speaker 2: Robertson as well. Good to chat to you, Phil, thanks

1320
01:06:42,347 --> 01:06:45,027
Speaker 2: for calling through mate twenty five to two. I'll just

01:06:47,067 --> 01:06:50,107
Speaker 2: game and the Pharaoh. Palmer Cup is all over and

1323
01:06:50,667 --> 01:06:55,947
Speaker 2: was a very comfortable victory for Counties Manico over Bay

01:06:55,987 --> 01:06:59,067
Speaker 2: of Plenty eighty eight nil. It finished eighty eight nil.

1325
01:06:59,467 --> 01:07:03,667
Speaker 2: They're underway at Rugby Park in christ Church where Canterbury

1326
01:07:03,707 --> 01:07:05,747
Speaker 2: are taking on Munowork two. They've had half an hour there.

Speaker 2: of these games, gold Sport and Nightheart Radio for County's

1330
01:07:16,387 --> 01:07:19,907
Speaker 2: Manic how Bay of plenty, that's in Pookakoe five past

1331
01:07:19,907 --> 01:07:22,027
Speaker 2: two and then Otago Hawks Bay and duned him from

1332
01:07:22,427 --> 01:07:25,587
Speaker 2: four point thirty five. I just wanted to touch briefly

1333
01:07:25,627 --> 01:07:28,587
Speaker 2: on the cricket. James mcconian in the not too distant

1334
01:07:28,627 --> 01:07:31,467
Speaker 2: future we'll take some more calls if your life as

1335
01:07:31,467 --> 01:07:33,107
Speaker 2: well on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, but I

1336
01:07:33,107 --> 01:07:36,427
Speaker 2: just wanted to touch on the cricket again. Mitchell Sentner

1337
01:07:36,547 --> 01:07:38,707
Speaker 2: took over the captain c rains look. I think he

1338
01:07:38,827 --> 01:07:41,507
Speaker 2: was pretty diplomatic when asked for his overall thoughts after

1339
01:07:41,587 --> 01:07:42,467
Speaker 2: the series yesterday.

1340
01:07:42,987 --> 01:07:45,987
Speaker 14: Obviously a great game in all aspects. You know, we

1341
01:07:46,067 --> 01:07:48,947
Speaker 14: are challenge at times throughout the game, and I guess

1342
01:07:48,947 --> 01:07:51,267
Speaker 14: we've kind of got through those periods, and yeah, I

1343
01:07:51,267 --> 01:07:53,027
Speaker 14: guess we cashed in. I think the way we bowled,

1344
01:07:53,667 --> 01:07:55,867
Speaker 14: especially in the first things, there's probably a little bit there,

1345
01:07:55,907 --> 01:07:59,387
Speaker 14: but yet obviously gid Zimbabwe for one twenty their first

1346
01:07:59,427 --> 01:08:01,547
Speaker 14: things and then we could ready cash in with a bat.

1347
01:08:01,707 --> 01:08:04,987
Speaker 14: So yeah, I can't really complain about anything during this game.

1348
01:08:05,107 --> 01:08:07,147
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing to complain about when you have the

1349
01:08:07,227 --> 01:08:10,907
Speaker 2: biggest win in your Test history. And did I read

1350
01:08:10,987 --> 01:08:14,027
Speaker 2: yesterday the third biggest in the history of Test cricket.

1351
01:08:14,387 --> 01:08:18,227
Speaker 2: Test cricket's been played since eighteen seventy seven, and that

1352
01:08:18,427 --> 01:08:22,107
Speaker 2: is the third biggest in the nearly one hundred and

1353
01:08:22,147 --> 01:08:26,267
Speaker 2: fifty years that Test matches have been played. Massive quick

1354
01:08:26,307 --> 01:08:28,987
Speaker 2: word from Mitchell Center on Zach Folks who got nine

1355
01:08:29,027 --> 01:08:30,147
Speaker 2: wickets on Test d aboot.

1356
01:08:30,547 --> 01:08:33,107
Speaker 14: Yeah, I see we've seen, you know, Zach and some

1357
01:08:33,227 --> 01:08:34,987
Speaker 14: of the white cool stuff. And I guess here, you

1358
01:08:35,027 --> 01:08:37,227
Speaker 14: know someone who kind of swinging into the right handers.

1359
01:08:37,707 --> 01:08:40,827
Speaker 14: You don't see that often, so I guess another addition

1360
01:08:40,907 --> 01:08:42,947
Speaker 14: to our attack with the guys, you know, moving the

1361
01:08:42,987 --> 01:08:46,307
Speaker 14: ball away. So yeah, he was outstanding. You know when

1362
01:08:46,347 --> 01:08:48,427
Speaker 14: the lefties come on, he's he looks pretty pretty tough

1363
01:08:48,467 --> 01:08:50,787
Speaker 14: to play and yeah to get I guess nine in

1364
01:08:50,867 --> 01:08:52,947
Speaker 14: the game on debuts, it's pretty gooda.

1365
01:08:53,187 --> 01:08:56,227
Speaker 2: Twenty three to two. Marxis on text pinety. We're desperate

1366
01:08:56,267 --> 01:08:58,227
Speaker 2: to have Richie back for the MPC. We're only one

1367
01:08:58,267 --> 01:09:00,427
Speaker 2: two out of two so far. Yes, very good, Mark.

1368
01:09:00,747 --> 01:09:05,467
Speaker 2: You did leave it late against Auckland last night, I note, Marty, Hi, mate,

1369
01:09:06,467 --> 01:09:06,907
Speaker 2: Yeah good.

1370
01:09:07,307 --> 01:09:11,027
Speaker 20: Finally, look, I just want to mention I watched quite

1371
01:09:11,067 --> 01:09:12,547
Speaker 20: a bit of the rugby on for to night and

1372
01:09:12,587 --> 01:09:16,707
Speaker 20: there was a woman's referee and she was outstanding, mate.

1373
01:09:16,747 --> 01:09:19,867
Speaker 20: You know, I don't know her name, didn't see it,

1374
01:09:20,387 --> 01:09:23,707
Speaker 20: but yeah, she'd be a bit of referee. I've seen

1375
01:09:23,787 --> 01:09:25,827
Speaker 20: him in rugby for a long long time. And she

1376
01:09:25,987 --> 01:09:27,547
Speaker 20: let the game throw and there was a bit of

1377
01:09:27,547 --> 01:09:30,147
Speaker 20: a hardie value there on the stage and she didn't

1378
01:09:30,147 --> 01:09:32,627
Speaker 20: what a woman, good woman do is just pulled away

1379
01:09:32,667 --> 01:09:34,787
Speaker 20: of it and she put a foot down and uh,

1380
01:09:35,387 --> 01:09:37,667
Speaker 20: you know, you know to me, I was just saying

1381
01:09:37,667 --> 01:09:39,147
Speaker 20: to a friend of mine, you know when when she

1382
01:09:39,667 --> 01:09:42,907
Speaker 20: she sheild with for a high doing his matches, But

1383
01:09:43,427 --> 01:09:43,787
Speaker 20: yeah she.

1384
01:09:44,027 --> 01:09:46,427
Speaker 2: Was Now I can tell you it was Yeah, Marty,

1385
01:09:46,467 --> 01:09:49,507
Speaker 2: I can tell you it was. That was Meggie Cogger Or, Yeah,

1386
01:09:49,587 --> 01:09:52,427
Speaker 2: she's she's been Yes, he's been around for a wee while,

1387
01:09:52,467 --> 01:09:55,307
Speaker 2: but I haven't seen her do a lot of men's games.

1388
01:09:55,347 --> 01:09:58,307
Speaker 2: But she is highly regarded and I'm pleased that you

1389
01:09:58,747 --> 01:10:00,627
Speaker 2: you thought that she did a good job because I

1390
01:10:00,667 --> 01:10:03,227
Speaker 2: did too. I thought, you know, you often often when

1391
01:10:03,227 --> 01:10:05,307
Speaker 2: you don't mention the referee afterwards, you know they've had

1392
01:10:05,347 --> 01:10:05,787
Speaker 2: a good game.

1393
01:10:06,667 --> 01:10:09,307
Speaker 20: She did a flow and she just didn't she didn't

1394
01:10:09,307 --> 01:10:11,387
Speaker 20: impose herself, but she was you know, but she was

1395
01:10:11,427 --> 01:10:14,307
Speaker 20: firm and you know, and she had a real feel

1396
01:10:14,307 --> 01:10:15,667
Speaker 20: of it. And that's the thing I loved about it.

1397
01:10:15,747 --> 01:10:20,227
Speaker 2: So tape for Seymour Rover, Absolutely right, Marty. Good on you, mate,

1398
01:10:20,227 --> 01:10:22,387
Speaker 2: thanks for calling him with that. Often people are very

1399
01:10:22,467 --> 01:10:25,667
Speaker 2: quick to criticize referees, but good on you for ringing

1400
01:10:25,747 --> 01:10:29,067

1404
01:10:37,827 --> 01:10:41,147
Speaker 2: sure if you have acknowledged the passing of Peter Lester.

1405
01:10:41,667 --> 01:10:42,987
Speaker 2: We did at the top of the show, Simon and

1408
01:10:48,787 --> 01:10:52,587
Speaker 2: missed this, very very sad news. Peter Lester, who's been

1409
01:10:52,667 --> 01:10:58,307
Speaker 2: a fixture in the coverage of sailing but also himself

1410

Speaker 1: The biggest things in sports are on Weekend Sports with

01:11:23,987 --> 01:11:28,067

01:11:28,107 --> 01:11:29,427
Speaker 1: builder News Songs.

1420

Speaker 2: MB coming up seventeen to two, just before we get

1421
01:11:31,987 --> 01:11:35,267
Speaker 2: James mcconey on. Just further to Marti's call on Maggie

1422
01:11:35,347 --> 01:11:37,827
Speaker 2: Coggle or one of our top referees who was in

1423
01:11:37,947 --> 01:11:41,707
Speaker 2: charge of Northland v Southland on Friday night years of course,

1424
01:11:41,787 --> 01:11:44,987
Speaker 2: also off to the Women's Rugby World Cup in the

1425
01:11:45,027 --> 01:11:47,907
Speaker 2: next month or so. And officiated at the home World

1426
01:11:47,907 --> 01:11:51,227
Speaker 2: Cup three years ago, one of our more accomplished referees.

1427
01:11:51,307 --> 01:11:53,987
Speaker 2: Great to see her in charge of the Bunnings MPC

1428
01:11:54,147 --> 01:11:58,347
Speaker 2: match up in Funurday on Friday night. Allen says, Pinty,

1429
01:11:58,387 --> 01:12:00,187
Speaker 2: do you know if the new stadium in christ Jis

1430
01:12:00,187 --> 01:12:03,867
Speaker 2: will have stables for the Crusaders horses? Allan, I don't know,

1431
01:12:04,027 --> 01:12:07,427
Speaker 2: but I'm almost certain that they'll be acommodated. I don't

1432
01:12:07,467 --> 01:12:11,307
Speaker 2: think that the horses actually live at the stadium. I

1433
01:12:11,387 --> 01:12:14,387
Speaker 2: could be wrong. James mcconi might know. Do the Crusaders

1434
01:12:14,427 --> 01:12:17,107
Speaker 2: horses live at Addington and they're not not in the

1435
01:12:17,187 --> 01:12:19,467
Speaker 2: raceway but in the in the stadium down there?

1436
01:12:19,547 --> 01:12:20,147
Speaker 1: Do you know, mate?

1437
01:12:21,307 --> 01:12:23,347
Speaker 21: I feel like they'd be brought in, wouldn't they They'd

1438
01:12:23,387 --> 01:12:25,987
Speaker 21: be brought in for the day. But it's quite handy

1439
01:12:26,067 --> 01:12:29,387
Speaker 21: having stables right there. That's that is a good question,

1440
01:12:30,107 --> 01:12:34,667
Speaker 21: A good question, really, what's happening at that stadium? Where

1441
01:12:34,667 --> 01:12:37,707
Speaker 21: are the stables? Because that's quite a built up industrial area.

1442
01:12:37,867 --> 01:12:39,467
Speaker 21: I mean, yes, from what I can tell.

1443
01:12:40,467 --> 01:12:42,387
Speaker 2: Right, Well, we'll try and do some more digging into that.

1444
01:12:42,467 --> 01:12:44,107
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to throw that your way. I wanted

1445
01:12:44,147 --> 01:12:46,907
Speaker 2: to talk about Olie Mathis though. Is he a flanker,

1446
01:12:47,147 --> 01:12:49,347
Speaker 2: is he a winger? Is there any need to decide?

1447
01:12:51,067 --> 01:12:53,867
Speaker 21: Well, it's about time we had our first hybrid, true

1448
01:12:53,947 --> 01:12:56,627
Speaker 21: hybrid come through because I feel like, you know, when

1449
01:12:56,827 --> 01:12:58,987
Speaker 21: when Jonah made the switch, that was something that was

1450
01:12:59,507 --> 01:13:03,467
Speaker 21: was permanent. When Eric Rush went to the from flank

1451
01:13:03,507 --> 01:13:06,307
Speaker 21: to the wing again, you know, he just became a winger.

1452
01:13:06,467 --> 01:13:09,267
Speaker 21: But right now we've got someone who could do either

1453
01:13:09,427 --> 01:13:12,467
Speaker 21: or there's even murmurings that he should play in midfield

1454
01:13:13,227 --> 01:13:16,227
Speaker 21: for long term. He's not the biggest human dolly, but

1455
01:13:16,387 --> 01:13:18,947
Speaker 21: he is an absolute athlete and as you saw again

1456
01:13:19,667 --> 01:13:22,947
Speaker 21: last night for the Muluse, he's just capable of special things.

1457
01:13:23,027 --> 01:13:24,467
Speaker 13: And you and I have talked about it.

1458
01:13:24,827 --> 01:13:28,987
Speaker 21: Piney Henry Pollock similar kind of skill set, unbelievable. But

1459
01:13:29,427 --> 01:13:32,187
Speaker 21: they identified it early that he's worth worthy of playing

1460
01:13:32,227 --> 01:13:35,587
Speaker 21: international footy, and I think they are they are ahead

1461
01:13:35,587 --> 01:13:37,747
Speaker 21: of the curve by making that call early for Henry

1462
01:13:37,907 --> 01:13:39,907
Speaker 21: and when are we going to do it?

1463
01:13:39,987 --> 01:13:40,307
Speaker 13: Foley?

1464
01:13:40,747 --> 01:13:43,387
Speaker 2: I just he was that try he set up or

1465
01:13:43,627 --> 01:13:45,387
Speaker 2: he was the architect of it. I know went through

1466
01:13:45,387 --> 01:13:46,987
Speaker 2: a couple of sets of hands after him, but he

1467
01:13:47,107 --> 01:13:49,587
Speaker 2: was the one who made the made the break and yeah,

1468
01:13:49,667 --> 01:13:53,347
Speaker 2: I mean it actually doesn't matter, does it what number

1469
01:13:53,387 --> 01:13:54,307
Speaker 2: he's got on his back?

1470
01:13:54,547 --> 01:13:54,827
Speaker 4: I know?

1471
01:13:54,947 --> 01:13:58,027
Speaker 2: And perhaps on defense and then the more structured parts

1472
01:13:58,027 --> 01:14:00,627
Speaker 2: of rugby it does. But in the loose it doesn't

1473
01:14:00,627 --> 01:14:01,467
Speaker 2: matter at all, does it.

1474
01:14:02,827 --> 01:14:03,547
Speaker 13: No, exactly.

1475
01:14:03,707 --> 01:14:06,187
Speaker 21: That's That's the one thing with Oli matthis is that

1476
01:14:06,747 --> 01:14:11,027
Speaker 21: right now, his athleticism, his agility really is.

1477
01:14:11,027 --> 01:14:12,627
Speaker 5: A so world class.

1478
01:14:12,787 --> 01:14:14,627
Speaker 21: I mean I would have even thought that he would

1479
01:14:14,627 --> 01:14:17,667
Speaker 21: have been worth taking a punt on last year bringing

1480
01:14:17,747 --> 01:14:20,667
Speaker 21: into the All Blacks camp, because I think sending him

1481
01:14:20,667 --> 01:14:23,587
Speaker 21: to sevens and you know, obviously you have to lose

1482
01:14:23,667 --> 01:14:25,907
Speaker 21: weight and all that sort of stuff isn't really what

1483
01:14:26,067 --> 01:14:29,147
Speaker 21: he was after. He was just after some security and

1484
01:14:30,307 --> 01:14:33,107
Speaker 21: if his talent was prodigious enough from what he did

1485
01:14:33,147 --> 01:14:36,747
Speaker 21: in the NPC last year to warrant some kind of acknowledgment. Yeah,

1486
01:14:36,747 --> 01:14:38,747
Speaker 21: I mean, I know it's a big leap frog, but

1487
01:14:38,827 --> 01:14:40,467
Speaker 21: sometimes you're going to make that call when you see

1488
01:14:40,467 --> 01:14:42,347
Speaker 21: a talent that's this rare.

1489
01:14:43,027 --> 01:14:45,987
Speaker 2: Yeah. And Dave Well, he reminds me a bit of

1490
01:14:46,027 --> 01:14:48,507
Speaker 2: Georgia Miller. Actually she's on the show next hour, so

1491
01:14:49,147 --> 01:14:51,587
Speaker 2: but they're kind of some light like she could probably

1492
01:14:51,707 --> 01:14:54,187
Speaker 2: play in a couple of positions too, couldn't she.

1493
01:14:55,627 --> 01:14:56,187
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think so.

1494
01:14:56,267 --> 01:14:58,947
Speaker 21: I mean Georgia is a really good example that they've

1495
01:14:58,947 --> 01:15:01,227
Speaker 21: got a similar skill set. She's as fast as anyone

1496
01:15:01,547 --> 01:15:03,987
Speaker 21: on that team, especially over the first thirty meters, and

1497
01:15:04,547 --> 01:15:08,107
Speaker 21: that's what in you know, fifteen a side that makes

1498
01:15:08,267 --> 01:15:11,627
Speaker 21: such a big difference. Obviously, when you're playing sevens you've

1499
01:15:11,667 --> 01:15:14,187
Speaker 21: got to go for sixty or seventy meters sometimes. But

1500
01:15:14,827 --> 01:15:17,187
Speaker 21: you know, we've seen players come through with this kind

1501
01:15:17,227 --> 01:15:19,507
Speaker 21: of Remember young Victor Vito was a bit like that,

1502
01:15:19,627 --> 01:15:21,747
Speaker 21: but he I don't know if you recall he had

1503
01:15:21,787 --> 01:15:23,627
Speaker 21: a neck injury that slowed him down a bit, and

1504
01:15:23,667 --> 01:15:27,707
Speaker 21: then he just definitely became a forward. And I mean

1505
01:15:27,747 --> 01:15:29,427
Speaker 21: we could have seen it from him. But right now

1506
01:15:30,667 --> 01:15:33,547
Speaker 21: for Oli Mathis, I mean, I'll be happy for him

1507
01:15:33,547 --> 01:15:36,907
Speaker 21: to play anywhere. But the way that we're looking at

1508
01:15:36,987 --> 01:15:39,627
Speaker 21: rugby safe for number sevens, I'm glad we've taken the

1509
01:15:40,347 --> 01:15:43,507
Speaker 21: turn where then you're not obsessed with how big they are,

1510
01:15:43,867 --> 01:15:45,747
Speaker 21: it's just how good they are. And then I'm talking

1511
01:15:45,787 --> 01:15:48,267
Speaker 21: about duplessy kid feed I think you need a real

1512
01:15:48,627 --> 01:15:51,507
Speaker 21: turnover expert in playing number seven these days.

1513
01:15:51,827 --> 01:15:53,547
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't wait to see what the future holds

1514
01:15:53,587 --> 01:15:56,787
Speaker 2: for that talented young man. Other matters around today to

1515
01:15:56,867 --> 01:16:00,867
Speaker 2: chat about terrible news last week that Western United, the

1516
01:16:01,267 --> 01:16:03,787
Speaker 2: A League football club who have teams in both the

1517
01:16:03,827 --> 01:16:07,707
Speaker 2: A League Men's and women's competitions, have had their A

1518
01:16:07,907 --> 01:16:10,867
Speaker 2: League licenses revoked. They've got the opportunity to appeal, but

1519
01:16:10,907 --> 01:16:13,947
Speaker 2: everything I'm reading and hearing looks as though it's going

1520
01:16:14,027 --> 01:16:18,067
Speaker 2: to be the folding of Western United. Never great when

1521
01:16:18,107 --> 01:16:20,187
Speaker 2: a sporting club has to fold.

1522
01:16:21,747 --> 01:16:24,187
Speaker 21: It's so weird that you find Piney keeping up with

1523
01:16:24,307 --> 01:16:27,147
Speaker 21: A league news. So on the one hand, they're saying

1524
01:16:27,187 --> 01:16:29,187
Speaker 21: it's it's an expansion league. We're going to see in

1525
01:16:29,227 --> 01:16:31,707
Speaker 21: the second team in Queensland, Canberra is going to get

1526
01:16:31,707 --> 01:16:33,987
Speaker 21: a team, and then meanwhile there's a club just on

1527
01:16:34,067 --> 01:16:35,947
Speaker 21: its knees, and that's a club that won the comp

1528
01:16:36,347 --> 01:16:39,347
Speaker 21: just a couple of years ago. So I think this

1529
01:16:39,507 --> 01:16:44,587
Speaker 21: is a really dangerous sign for clubs that probably can't

1530
01:16:45,027 --> 01:16:49,747
Speaker 21: retain talent and can't get fans through the turnstiles. So unfortunately,

1531
01:16:49,787 --> 01:16:51,667
Speaker 21: I'm sort of looking at the Wellington Phoenix and just

1532
01:16:51,747 --> 01:16:55,987
Speaker 21: saying they need to they need to have a really strong,

1533
01:16:56,187 --> 01:16:59,427
Speaker 21: robust plan to make sure that they can Weather. I

1534
01:16:59,467 --> 01:17:02,547
Speaker 21: guess losing their best player in Costa barbarusis who's gone.

1535
01:17:02,667 --> 01:17:04,867
Speaker 21: I know there's always going to be players there who

1536
01:17:05,027 --> 01:17:07,107
Speaker 21: lead from time to time because their dream is to

1537
01:17:07,147 --> 01:17:09,067
Speaker 21: play in Europe. But if you're a club that's just

1538
01:17:09,187 --> 01:17:12,987
Speaker 21: got you know, sort of nineteenagers and two older guys,

1539
01:17:13,467 --> 01:17:16,347
Speaker 21: it's not really it doesn't all go well. I mean,

1540
01:17:16,547 --> 01:17:18,427
Speaker 21: do you worry about the future of the Phoenix like

1541
01:17:18,547 --> 01:17:20,347
Speaker 21: I do, Pony, Not really.

1542
01:17:20,387 --> 01:17:22,147
Speaker 2: I mean probably I don't worry about them off the

1543
01:17:22,187 --> 01:17:24,707
Speaker 2: field at all, because you know, a lot of clubs

1544
01:17:24,747 --> 01:17:27,827
Speaker 2: have been through financial trials and tribulations in the last

1545
01:17:28,427 --> 01:17:30,427
Speaker 2: you know, decade and a half in the A League,

1546
01:17:30,467 --> 01:17:32,987
Speaker 2: but the Phoenix never have apart from when Terry was there,

1547
01:17:33,027 --> 01:17:36,427
Speaker 2: but they quickly you know, changed ownership. Since well Nick's

1548
01:17:36,427 --> 01:17:40,827
Speaker 2: have been there. There's never been any suggestion of financially

1549
01:17:40,947 --> 01:17:44,147
Speaker 2: them leaving. There was that, you know, they wanted to

1550
01:17:44,187 --> 01:17:46,907
Speaker 2: get David Gallup wanted to get rid of them for

1551
01:17:47,067 --> 01:17:50,507
Speaker 2: other reasons known mainly to him. That didn't happen. I

1552
01:17:50,547 --> 01:17:53,507
Speaker 2: think they'll be okay, it's yeah, it's just such a

1553
01:17:53,587 --> 01:17:56,627
Speaker 2: shame for all of the good football people at that club.

1554
01:17:57,587 --> 01:18:00,267
Speaker 2: You know, the players who now have an uncertain future.

1555
01:18:00,747 --> 01:18:03,267
Speaker 2: The fans and they didn't have a huge fan base,

1556
01:18:03,347 --> 01:18:06,027
Speaker 2: but who do they support now there's no I mean,

1557
01:18:06,027 --> 01:18:10,387
Speaker 2: it's a sorry situation all around. Really yeah.

1558
01:18:11,067 --> 01:18:13,707
Speaker 21: I mean, look, I'm not saying that the Phoenix are

1559
01:18:13,787 --> 01:18:16,307
Speaker 21: necessarily in trouble, just I just don't like some of

1560
01:18:16,387 --> 01:18:20,027
Speaker 21: the signs when you lose talented guys sometimes in bunches,

1561
01:18:20,107 --> 01:18:22,667
Speaker 21: like we felt like they haven't in recent years. And

1562
01:18:22,747 --> 01:18:24,947
Speaker 21: I know that everyone's got a different kind of budget

1563
01:18:25,307 --> 01:18:29,627
Speaker 21: to operate under, but you know, when there's these guys,

1564
01:18:29,667 --> 01:18:33,587
Speaker 21: I mean, was at a sixteen year old playing last year? Yeah,

1565
01:18:33,587 --> 01:18:35,707
Speaker 21: I think it was maybe seventeen.

1566
01:18:35,587 --> 01:18:37,587
Speaker 2: But I think it was now Luke brook Smith he

1567
01:18:37,707 --> 01:18:41,907
Speaker 2: was he was sixteen. I think he was the youngest

1568
01:18:41,947 --> 01:18:44,267
Speaker 2: goal scorer for the team. Anyway, Gabrielle Sloan would rigous

1569
01:18:44,267 --> 01:18:46,707
Speaker 2: as well. They've had a couple of teenagers. Look, they're

1570
01:18:46,707 --> 01:18:50,027
Speaker 2: playing this afternoon actually in the Australia Cup and they

1571
01:18:50,107 --> 01:18:52,347
Speaker 2: beat Perth with a bunch of bunch of kids. So

1572
01:18:52,587 --> 01:18:55,147
Speaker 2: you know, maybe maybe they're onto something at Nick's HQ.

1573
01:18:56,547 --> 01:18:56,947
Speaker 13: It could be.

1574
01:18:57,187 --> 01:18:59,347
Speaker 21: Hey, just one word on the Warriors. I know last

1575
01:18:59,427 --> 01:19:01,587
Speaker 21: night was a bummer but it was to be expected.

1576
01:19:01,707 --> 01:19:04,587
Speaker 21: But I do worry about the run home and the

1577
01:19:04,667 --> 01:19:07,387
Speaker 21: game against the Dragons next week is so pivotal because

1578
01:19:07,467 --> 01:19:11,107
Speaker 21: after that the Titans, Eels and Manly. I don't I

1579
01:19:11,227 --> 01:19:14,587
Speaker 21: just don't think we can guarantee too much, to expect

1580
01:19:14,627 --> 01:19:16,867
Speaker 21: too much. The Titans have always had our recently had

1581
01:19:16,907 --> 01:19:20,707
Speaker 21: our number the Eels Mitchell Moses, Zach Lomas, you know,

1582
01:19:21,707 --> 01:19:24,387
Speaker 21: Josh had Okar, and then we never play well at Brookvale.

1583
01:19:24,507 --> 01:19:27,147
Speaker 21: I just think this is so much riding on this

1584
01:19:27,267 --> 01:19:30,147
Speaker 21: game against the Dragons next week. It's that's going to

1585
01:19:30,147 --> 01:19:32,107
Speaker 21: be a blockbust bust of clash really.

1586
01:19:32,467 --> 01:19:35,987
Speaker 2: Well, indeed, he just just for your comfort. The horses

1587
01:19:36,067 --> 01:19:40,067
Speaker 2: don't stay at the ground text here we know one

1588
01:19:40,107 --> 01:19:42,587
Speaker 2: of the owners of the Crusaders horses. They're taken in

1589
01:19:42,667 --> 01:19:45,027
Speaker 2: for the games. They don't live there. They're saddled on

1590
01:19:45,107 --> 01:19:47,387
Speaker 2: the Addington racecourse side of them at the moment, but

1591
01:19:47,507 --> 01:19:50,067
Speaker 2: only because the race course is there. That's just that's

1592
01:19:50,187 --> 01:19:52,867
Speaker 2: just pure coincidence that that is there. So they go

1593
01:19:52,987 --> 01:19:54,467
Speaker 2: back to their own stables at the end.

1594
01:19:55,827 --> 01:19:57,147
Speaker 5: Yeah, what about Takaha though.

1595
01:19:57,187 --> 01:19:59,147
Speaker 21: That's the question though, isn't it That's what we would

1596
01:19:59,227 --> 01:20:00,267
Speaker 21: need to know in the.

1597
01:20:00,267 --> 01:20:02,067
Speaker 2: Middle of town. Yeah, where are they going to? How

1598
01:20:02,067 --> 01:20:02,827
Speaker 2: a theyre going to get there?

1599
01:20:03,987 --> 01:20:04,187
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1600
01:20:05,747 --> 01:20:06,067
Speaker 13: Before.

1601
01:20:06,347 --> 01:20:07,747
Speaker 21: It's a real issue.

1602
01:20:09,107 --> 01:20:11,547
Speaker 2: It's one of the it's one of the key issues. Hey,

1616
01:20:47,667 --> 01:20:50,067
Speaker 2: against Auckland last night. I thought that described Wellington the

1617
01:20:50,147 --> 01:20:52,707
Speaker 2: previous week against Canterbury or hang on they didn't turn up.

1618
01:20:52,827 --> 01:20:56,147
Speaker 2: Nice one, David, nice one, very good. You will have

1619

1622
01:21:06,947 --> 01:21:10,627
Speaker 2: in a bumper edition of In case you missed it

1623
01:21:11,147 --> 01:21:13,347
Speaker 2: after two o'clock as well. In the two o'clock hour,

1624
01:21:13,427 --> 01:21:18,347
Speaker 2: we also pay tribute to Peter Lester. PJ. Montgomery probably

1625
01:21:18,747 --> 01:21:21,827
Speaker 2: the only voice that is more well known in yachting

1626
01:21:21,907 --> 01:21:24,667
Speaker 2: circles than Peter Lester's was. The two of them worked

1627
01:21:24,667 --> 01:21:30,347
Speaker 2: together on many events, many regattas, including America's Cups and others.

1628
01:21:31,107 --> 01:21:31,347
Speaker 13: P J.

1629
01:21:31,467 --> 01:21:34,027
Speaker 2: Montgomery going to join us to pay tribute to his

1630
01:21:34,107 --> 01:21:36,907
Speaker 2: mate Peter Lester. After two o'clock, We're also going to

1631
01:21:36,987 --> 01:21:39,547
Speaker 2: check in with the Tour Blacks. They're at the Asia

1632
01:21:39,627 --> 01:21:43,227
Speaker 2: Cup at the moment and in Paul Play, have played

1633
01:21:43,267 --> 01:21:46,427
Speaker 2: three and one three. The most recent game was this

1634
01:21:46,587 --> 01:21:49,307
Speaker 2: morning when they're up against Chinese TYPEI, who were the

1635
01:21:49,467 --> 01:21:53,227
Speaker 2: other team in the group who had designs on top place.

1636
01:21:53,307 --> 01:21:55,907
Speaker 2: Both Chinese TYPEI and New Zealand had won their first

1637
01:21:55,947 --> 01:21:59,107
Speaker 2: two matches. Well, it was no contest the Tour Blacks

1638
01:21:59,147 --> 01:22:02,907
Speaker 2: wanting it one eighteen to seventy eight. Top scoring for

1639
01:22:02,947 --> 01:22:06,267
Speaker 2: the Tour Blacks this morning was Flynn Cameron. Pretty famous

1640
01:22:06,467 --> 01:22:09,027
Speaker 2: her name when it comes to basketball in this country. Yes,

1641
01:22:09,107 --> 01:22:12,587
Speaker 2: he is the son of Pedo Cameron, who ironically enough,

1642
01:22:12,667 --> 01:22:15,267
Speaker 2: was on commentary for this game. I was watching it

1643
01:22:15,347 --> 01:22:18,587
Speaker 2: this morning, and it's probably natural that you want to,

1644
01:22:18,987 --> 01:22:21,627
Speaker 2: you know, you don't want to pretend or not pretend.

1645
01:22:21,627 --> 01:22:23,947
Speaker 2: You don't want to feel like you're too biased towards

1646
01:22:24,027 --> 01:22:27,427
Speaker 2: your own kids. Because Pero Cameron hardly mentioned Flint at all,

1647
01:22:27,867 --> 01:22:31,187
Speaker 2: even though it was you know, top scoring and having

1648
01:22:31,227 --> 01:22:33,347
Speaker 2: an excellent game. Pero I think was just, you know,

1649
01:22:33,707 --> 01:22:36,707
Speaker 2: just trying to remain unbiased. But Flint Cameron's on the

1650
01:22:36,907 --> 01:22:38,907
Speaker 2: on the radio with us after two o'clock as well.

1651
01:22:39,907 --> 01:22:44,027
Speaker 1: The only place for the big names, the big issues,

1652
01:22:44,827 --> 01:22:49,707
Speaker 1: the big controversies and the big conversations. It's all on

1653
01:22:49,867 --> 01:22:53,627
Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason Lyin on your home of Sport

01:23:02,427 --> 01:23:06,187
Speaker 2: for the Sunday edition of the Weekend Collective before we

1659
01:23:06,467 --> 01:23:09,587
Speaker 2: can conduct that. Handover quite a bit to get through

1660
01:23:10,307 --> 01:23:12,707
Speaker 2: bumper edition of in case you missed it coming up.

1661
01:23:12,747 --> 01:23:15,267
Speaker 2: There's heaps to cover off. It's happened in the last

1662
01:23:15,307 --> 01:23:18,467
Speaker 2: twenty four hours or so, which may have escaped your retention.

1663
01:23:18,987 --> 01:23:21,747
Speaker 2: Then PJ Montgomery going to join us with a tribute

1664
01:23:21,747 --> 01:23:25,547
Speaker 2: to Peter Lester, who, as you've perhaps heard on our

1665
01:23:25,587 --> 01:23:28,067
Speaker 2: news this afternoon, has passed away at the age of

1666
01:23:28,187 --> 01:23:32,547
Speaker 2: seventy A very familiar voice to not just shotting fans

1667
01:23:32,587 --> 01:23:38,307
Speaker 2: but sports fans. His ability to break down complicated sailing

1668
01:23:39,947 --> 01:23:45,827
Speaker 2: strategies and concepts to just the average everyday New Zealander

1669
01:23:46,027 --> 01:23:48,347
Speaker 2: or sports viewer was I think what set him apart

1670
01:23:48,387 --> 01:23:51,307
Speaker 2: from a lot of analysts and a lot of different

1671
01:23:51,347 --> 01:23:57,707
Speaker 2: sports Peter Leicester passing away on Friday, PJ Montgomery paying tribute. Shortly,

01:24:09,027 --> 01:24:11,827
Speaker 2: twenty two. How are they feeling about that? Georgia Miller

1677
01:24:12,107 --> 01:24:14,747
Speaker 2: will be with us and Flynn Cameron has mentioned before

1833
01:32:49,027 --> 01:32:54,587
Speaker 26: very formidable opposition. And then he subsequently went on to

1834
01:32:55,467 --> 01:32:58,787
Speaker 26: be involved in the one Ton Cup when back in

1835
01:32:58,867 --> 01:33:01,547
Speaker 26: the very early seventies that was a very big deal

1836
01:33:01,667 --> 01:33:04,747
Speaker 26: for New Zealand sailing, and then onto the Admirals Cup,

1837
01:33:04,987 --> 01:33:07,707
Speaker 26: winning that what was it in the late eighties eighty seven,

1838
01:33:08,227 --> 01:33:13,227
Speaker 26: and then he had been a tactician in the America's

1839
01:33:13,267 --> 01:33:16,707
Speaker 26: Cup and a couple of times New Zealand Sailor of

1840
01:33:16,747 --> 01:33:21,027
Speaker 26: the Year, and then he morphed over into the transition

1841
01:33:21,387 --> 01:33:26,427
Speaker 26: of a sailing broadcaster as well, notably as a sailing analyst.

1842
01:33:27,387 --> 01:33:32,027
Speaker 2: You've worked alongside many people in a broadcast sense, PJ.

1843
01:33:32,187 --> 01:33:32,547
Speaker 12: And I know.

1844
01:33:34,027 --> 01:33:37,187
Speaker 2: Not every sportsperson can make the transition across. How was

1845
01:33:37,267 --> 01:33:40,387
Speaker 2: Peter Lester able to do that, to go from sailor

1846
01:33:40,507 --> 01:33:42,627
Speaker 2: to explaining sailing to us?

1847
01:33:43,387 --> 01:33:49,827
Speaker 26: Well, probably way back when I remember well, originally when

1848
01:33:49,867 --> 01:33:53,427
Speaker 26: I first started broadcasting, Bill McCarthy told me the very

1849
01:33:53,507 --> 01:33:54,027
Speaker 26: first day.

1850
01:33:54,227 --> 01:33:55,387
Speaker 13: Don't ever forget.

1851
01:33:55,147 --> 01:33:57,627
Speaker 26: You're talking to the little old lady with the blue

1852
01:33:57,707 --> 01:34:00,867
Speaker 26: rints headoo and white tennis shoes. And I've never forgotten that.

1853
01:34:00,987 --> 01:34:03,827
Speaker 26: And I remember telling Peter Lester that as well, and

1854
01:34:04,587 --> 01:34:07,907
Speaker 26: as with many others, and Peter was able to do that,

1855
01:34:08,107 --> 01:34:13,267
Speaker 26: because what can be quite a complicated sport, then Peter

1856
01:34:13,467 --> 01:34:17,307
Speaker 26: was able to break that down to be understood by

1857
01:34:18,027 --> 01:34:21,787
Speaker 26: people who were certainly interested in the America's Cup but

1858
01:34:22,347 --> 01:34:28,067
Speaker 26: had no serious sailing knowledge. And Peter was able to

1859
01:34:28,147 --> 01:34:29,227
Speaker 26: do that and do it well.

1860
01:34:29,987 --> 01:34:32,907
Speaker 2: And of course these were regattas that you're involved and

1861
01:34:33,027 --> 01:34:35,587
Speaker 2: often go on for a long long time, don't they. PJ.

1862
01:34:35,707 --> 01:34:36,947
Speaker 2: You would have spent a lot of time in Peter

1863
01:34:37,027 --> 01:34:41,547
Speaker 2: Lister's company outside of the commentary box. What were you know?

1864
01:34:41,667 --> 01:34:43,707
Speaker 2: What will those memories be like for you?

1865
01:34:44,627 --> 01:34:44,747
Speaker 13: Ah?

1866
01:34:44,907 --> 01:34:49,827
Speaker 26: Well, he was always a very friendly, personable person who

1867
01:34:50,067 --> 01:34:53,347
Speaker 26: was very much a glass half full and well he

1868
01:34:53,507 --> 01:34:57,027
Speaker 26: was good company and had a very funny sense of humor,

1869
01:34:57,507 --> 01:35:00,707
Speaker 26: and I witnessed that often.

1870
01:35:01,227 --> 01:35:01,307
Speaker 13: Now.

1871
01:35:01,587 --> 01:35:04,947
Speaker 26: He was just very good company, very knowledgeable about the

1872
01:35:04,987 --> 01:35:08,147
Speaker 26: sport he was talking about, but also very good company.

1873
01:35:08,267 --> 01:35:10,187
Speaker 2: Yeah, good on your PJ. I know you've got a

1874
01:35:10,347 --> 01:35:13,507
Speaker 2: queue of people waiting to chat to you about Peter Lester,

1875
01:35:13,627 --> 01:35:15,387
Speaker 2: so we'll let you go, but appreciate you joining us

1876
01:35:15,387 --> 01:35:18,467
Speaker 2: here on news talks. He'd be to remember your great mate,

1877
01:35:18,627 --> 01:35:22,587
Speaker 2: that's PJ. Montgomery, who probably knew Peter Lester as well,

1878
01:35:22,707 --> 01:35:25,587
Speaker 2: if not better than most people. There's a wonderful tribute

1879
01:35:25,627 --> 01:35:31,027
Speaker 2: on the New Zealand Herald website, incidentally written by Michael Burgess. Yeah,

1880
01:35:31,067 --> 01:35:36,147
Speaker 2: Peter Lester's voice was just so well known, and like

1881
01:35:36,227 --> 01:35:39,587
Speaker 2: I say, he just had this ability, this innate ability

1882
01:35:40,467 --> 01:35:45,867
Speaker 2: to explain things to you in everyday terms, because yachting

1883
01:35:46,707 --> 01:35:48,827
Speaker 2: it's you know, for anyone who's been evolved in it,

1884
01:35:48,867 --> 01:35:50,667
Speaker 2: and I haven't, but for anyone's been involved in there's

1885
01:35:50,747 --> 01:35:54,787
Speaker 2: so much jargon, so much terminology, that it must take

1886
01:35:54,867 --> 01:35:57,347
Speaker 2: you years to sort of get your head rounds. But

1887
01:35:57,547 --> 01:36:00,587
Speaker 2: that becomes intrinsic in the in the sport, but is

1888
01:36:00,667 --> 01:36:03,227
Speaker 2: not well known outside of the sport. But Peter Lester

1889
01:36:03,747 --> 01:36:06,107
Speaker 2: had this ability when he was explaining things that were

1890
01:36:06,107 --> 01:36:10,987
Speaker 2: happen on the screen, or unpacking why a certain strategy

1891
01:36:11,067 --> 01:36:14,107
Speaker 2: had been undertaken by by one crew or the other,

1892
01:36:14,347 --> 01:36:18,147
Speaker 2: or just able to get inside the heads of the

1893
01:36:18,267 --> 01:36:22,507
Speaker 2: sailors and give us some razor sharp insight into what

1894
01:36:22,707 --> 01:36:25,587
Speaker 2: they were feeling and thinking at any given moment. It

1895
01:36:25,747 --> 01:36:29,827
Speaker 2: was without peer for me, and as I said to

1896
01:36:29,867 --> 01:36:35,467
Speaker 2: Francesca before midday, this is certainly not, you know, common

1897
01:36:37,427 --> 01:36:42,467
Speaker 2: among sports commentators who have been high level athletes themselves.

1898
01:36:42,547 --> 01:36:44,227
Speaker 2: Some of them are very good at it, and we've

1899
01:36:44,227 --> 01:36:46,747
Speaker 2: all got our favorites and those who come across and

1900
01:36:47,107 --> 01:36:52,627
Speaker 2: transition seamlessly into commentary from being a competitor. Not everybody

1901
01:36:52,667 --> 01:36:54,867
Speaker 2: can do it, but Peter Lester was able to do it.

1902
01:36:54,987 --> 01:36:59,707
Speaker 2: He just had a depth of knowledge and a vocabulary

1903
01:36:59,867 --> 01:37:04,267
Speaker 2: which we could all understand. He put it in layman's terms.

1904
01:37:04,547 --> 01:37:07,747
Speaker 2: That's about as some as I can put it to you.

1905
01:37:07,867 --> 01:37:11,027
Speaker 2: Kid A Piney says this text from Rob. I thought

1906
01:37:11,027 --> 01:37:13,067
Speaker 2: the loss of Peter Berling of America's cup Helm was

1907
01:37:13,107 --> 01:37:15,347
Speaker 2: hard for the New Zealand sailing public, but as totally

1908
01:37:15,387 --> 01:37:22,107
Speaker 2: surpassed by Peter Lester's passing knowledge, voice and commentating mastery

1909
01:37:22,627 --> 01:37:26,907
Speaker 2: that made sailing watching both a pleasure and compelling sail

1910
01:37:26,947 --> 01:37:29,707
Speaker 2: away and peace. Peter Lester, Thank you, Rob, appreciate your text.

1911
01:37:30,467 --> 01:37:33,067
Speaker 2: So sorry to hear this news, says Janet I loved

1912
01:37:33,107 --> 01:37:36,947
Speaker 2: him as a sports commentator, especially around those wonderful America's

1913
01:37:37,027 --> 01:37:41,587
Speaker 2: Cup regattas. Yeah, look, he'll he'll be sadly missed. He

1914
01:37:41,667 --> 01:37:44,267
Speaker 2: was at the top of his game too. He certainly

1915
01:37:44,387 --> 01:37:48,067
Speaker 2: wasn't anywhere near the end. He took part in coverage

1916
01:37:48,067 --> 01:37:50,787
Speaker 2: of the America's Cup in Barcelona last time out and

1917
01:37:50,987 --> 01:37:55,067
Speaker 2: was highly sought after as a broadcaster and an analyst.

1918
01:37:56,187 --> 01:37:59,387
Speaker 2: Rest well now, Peter Lester, gone far too soon at

1919

1952
01:39:57,107 --> 01:39:59,827
Speaker 2: about to jet out to what will be your first

1953
01:40:00,027 --> 01:40:02,107
Speaker 2: Fifteen's Rugby World Cup.

1954
01:40:02,867 --> 01:40:06,467
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm really excited. I'm so ready to go. It's

1955
01:40:06,467 --> 01:40:08,747
Speaker 16: going to be an exciting couple a couple of.

1956
01:40:08,747 --> 01:40:11,307
Speaker 8: Months with the girls, but just enjoying some time at

1957
01:40:11,347 --> 01:40:13,067
Speaker 8: home and soaking that up before we head away.

1958
01:40:13,427 --> 01:40:15,907
Speaker 2: What of the last two or three weeks since the

1959
01:40:15,987 --> 01:40:18,467
Speaker 2: squad was named been like for you and the rest

1960
01:40:18,507 --> 01:40:18,907
Speaker 2: of the team.

1961
01:40:19,747 --> 01:40:23,387
Speaker 8: So we've been in camp for two weeks down in Wellington,

1962
01:40:24,427 --> 01:40:25,467
Speaker 8: which was pretty intense.

1963
01:40:25,547 --> 01:40:27,987
Speaker 16: I think, you know, we've ramped up a whole another level,

1964
01:40:28,027 --> 01:40:31,067
Speaker 16: which is exciting and what we need. And then we've

1965
01:40:31,107 --> 01:40:31,387
Speaker 16: had this.

1966
01:40:31,507 --> 01:40:33,547
Speaker 8: Week and the start of next week where we just

1967
01:40:33,827 --> 01:40:37,547
Speaker 8: runs at home, still training and just yeah, preparing.

1968
01:40:37,187 --> 01:40:37,867
Speaker 16: To head over there.

1969
01:40:38,347 --> 01:40:41,307
Speaker 2: For you, Georgia, what are the biggest adjustments that you've

1970
01:40:41,387 --> 01:40:44,187
Speaker 2: had to make coming from the sevens game into fifteen's?

1971
01:40:45,027 --> 01:40:48,387
Speaker 8: Probably for me being a loose forward, would be the

1972
01:40:48,467 --> 01:40:52,267
Speaker 8: physicality of it all and just kind of I guess

1973
01:40:52,307 --> 01:40:54,587
Speaker 8: I'm probably on the smaller side for a flanker, so

1974
01:40:54,827 --> 01:40:58,907
Speaker 8: just using my strengths and manipulating that in a way

1975
01:40:58,987 --> 01:41:01,067
Speaker 8: that I can still dominate in the physicality.

1976
01:41:01,267 --> 01:41:03,827
Speaker 2: Well, he's been talk as well about you featuring in

1977
01:41:03,867 --> 01:41:06,027
Speaker 2: the back line. I don't know if it's just people

1978
01:41:06,147 --> 01:41:09,147
Speaker 2: you know spitballing or whether it's an actual thing, But

1979
01:41:09,227 --> 01:41:11,827
Speaker 2: do you think open side flanka is where you're best

1980
01:41:11,867 --> 01:41:13,307
Speaker 2: suited in the fifteens game right now?

1981
01:41:14,787 --> 01:41:14,987
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1982
01:41:15,067 --> 01:41:16,467
Speaker 16: I love playing open side flank.

1983
01:41:16,507 --> 01:41:18,747
Speaker 8: If I get too far away from the ball, I

1984
01:41:19,107 --> 01:41:20,787
Speaker 8: don't enjoy it as much, so I like to be

1985
01:41:20,907 --> 01:41:23,867
Speaker 8: around about. But yeah, I'll be open to play in

1986
01:41:23,947 --> 01:41:28,147
Speaker 8: the bags, but for me, probably flankers where I.

1987
01:41:28,227 --> 01:41:31,627
Speaker 2: Am for now fair enough. And what are the specific

1988
01:41:31,707 --> 01:41:34,747
Speaker 2: strengths of your sevens game that you feel you can

1989
01:41:34,987 --> 01:41:37,027
Speaker 2: bring most effectively into fifteens.

1990
01:41:37,747 --> 01:41:41,987
Speaker 8: Yeah, probably just my ability to turn over ball at

1991
01:41:42,027 --> 01:41:45,587
Speaker 8: breakdown would be one. And then trying to feel at

1992
01:41:45,667 --> 01:41:48,587
Speaker 8: myself through small gaps on attack. I'm lucky enough that

1993
01:41:48,707 --> 01:41:51,067
Speaker 8: I can attack on the edges of flankers, so that

1994
01:41:51,187 --> 01:41:53,027
Speaker 8: allows me to open up and it's a bit more

1995
01:41:53,147 --> 01:41:53,827
Speaker 8: sevens like.

1996
01:41:54,867 --> 01:41:56,867
Speaker 16: But yeah, just for a few more people immedly.

1997
01:41:57,227 --> 01:41:59,107
Speaker 2: Of course, there are a few of you who have

1998
01:41:59,227 --> 01:42:02,027
Speaker 2: come across from the sevens game and been selected for

1999
01:42:02,587 --> 01:42:06,947
Speaker 2: this Rugby World Cup squad. Was there any awkwardness around

2000
01:42:06,987 --> 01:42:09,587
Speaker 2: that Georgia you know seven's players dropping into the fifteens

2001
01:42:09,667 --> 01:42:12,947
Speaker 2: environment and I guess taking the places of some players

2002
01:42:12,947 --> 01:42:13,907
Speaker 2: for this World Cup squad.

2003
01:42:15,587 --> 01:42:18,707
Speaker 8: Now, the fifteenth girls and the whole squad was really

2004
01:42:19,107 --> 01:42:22,467
Speaker 8: welcoming and they made sure that they could catch us

2005
01:42:22,507 --> 01:42:24,507
Speaker 8: all up to speed and we knew all our stuff.

2006
01:42:24,547 --> 01:42:27,147
Speaker 8: So I think that's just a reflection of this team

2007
01:42:27,187 --> 01:42:29,627
Speaker 8: and everyone wants, you know, the best for the team.

2008
01:42:29,787 --> 01:42:32,827
Speaker 8: So yeah, it's been really nice and the transition was

2009
01:42:32,867 --> 01:42:35,267
Speaker 8: made a lot easier by the girls being so welcoming.

2010
01:42:35,507 --> 01:42:39,347
Speaker 2: Good to hear that try you scored against Australia in

2011
01:42:39,467 --> 01:42:43,027
Speaker 2: Wellington last month. Every time I watch it it looks better.

2012
01:42:43,587 --> 01:42:45,947
Speaker 2: What are the pictures that you saw and what were

2013
01:42:45,987 --> 01:42:48,627
Speaker 2: the thoughts in your head when you collected that ball

2014
01:42:48,667 --> 01:42:51,107
Speaker 2: from a dropout on what about the ten meter line

2015
01:42:51,187 --> 01:42:53,027
Speaker 2: just inside your own half pick it up from there?

2016
01:42:54,227 --> 01:42:56,787
Speaker 8: Well, initially I was like, if they kick it to me,

2017
01:42:56,827 --> 01:42:58,547
Speaker 8: I'm just going to run because the time before that

2018
01:42:58,667 --> 01:43:02,267
Speaker 8: I passed it to Leana, So I'm just going to run.

2019
01:43:02,347 --> 01:43:04,627
Speaker 16: I just have a go and so I kind of

2020
01:43:04,667 --> 01:43:07,267
Speaker 16: started running and then I saw one of our prop

2021
01:43:07,347 --> 01:43:09,507
Speaker 16: standing there. I was like, I'll just run at her,

2022
01:43:09,587 --> 01:43:12,587
Speaker 16: and then yeah, I kind of just I don't know,

2023
01:43:12,707 --> 01:43:14,707
Speaker 16: it's just nothing. I was through the gaps.

2024
01:43:14,787 --> 01:43:15,547
Speaker 19: I was stoked.

2025
01:43:15,667 --> 01:43:19,827
Speaker 2: Yeah, magnificent stuff. Are you aware of of what you're

2026
01:43:19,907 --> 01:43:21,747
Speaker 2: doing in the moment or do you do you have

2027
01:43:21,827 --> 01:43:23,667
Speaker 2: to look back afterwards like, oh that's right, Yeah, I

2028
01:43:23,747 --> 01:43:24,787
Speaker 2: beat that many defenders.

2029
01:43:26,467 --> 01:43:27,387
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's funny, like.

2030
01:43:27,547 --> 01:43:31,227
Speaker 8: I could do something, someone could ask me straight after

2031
01:43:31,387 --> 01:43:33,387
Speaker 8: what I did, but like I just kind of forget.

2032
01:43:33,507 --> 01:43:35,707
Speaker 8: So I'm a pretty player in the moment, kind of

2033
01:43:36,547 --> 01:43:39,867
Speaker 8: player which you know has its good and bads, but no,

2034
01:43:40,027 --> 01:43:41,307
Speaker 8: I just you know, play.

2035
01:43:41,147 --> 01:43:41,707
Speaker 16: What's in front.

2036
01:43:42,467 --> 01:43:46,107
Speaker 2: You've won many times on the World seven's circuit, Georgia

2037
01:43:46,227 --> 01:43:49,147
Speaker 2: Olympic gold of course, with the Black Fern sevens in

2038
01:43:49,227 --> 01:43:52,307
Speaker 2: Paris last year. How different does this feel though, heading

2039
01:43:52,347 --> 01:43:54,627
Speaker 2: off to a fifteen's Rugby World Cup.

2040
01:43:55,827 --> 01:43:58,067
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's pretty weird. Like at the moment, I think

2041
01:43:58,867 --> 01:44:00,067
Speaker 16: it doesn't really feel real.

2042
01:44:00,147 --> 01:44:02,427
Speaker 8: I think when we get over to England, you know,

2043
01:44:02,587 --> 01:44:03,187
Speaker 8: there'll be all.

2044
01:44:03,187 --> 01:44:07,107
Speaker 16: The branding posters and a lot of chat it over there,

2045
01:44:07,187 --> 01:44:10,067
Speaker 16: which I think then it will sink him. But yeah,

2046
01:44:10,147 --> 01:44:13,707
Speaker 16: I'm excited. I think I'm being good in the Olympics

2047
01:44:13,747 --> 01:44:16,427
Speaker 16: and playing in that last year that has really prepared

2048
01:44:16,507 --> 01:44:20,347
Speaker 16: me for a moment like this, So yeah, I'm ready.

2049
01:44:21,147 --> 01:44:24,187
Speaker 2: The vibe in the room when the squad was announced.

2050
01:44:24,187 --> 01:44:25,747
Speaker 2: I was lucky enough to be there on Upperhart a

2051
01:44:25,787 --> 01:44:28,347
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago when when the squad was announced

2052
01:44:28,347 --> 01:44:31,267
Speaker 2: and you all came in with members of your family

2053
01:44:31,347 --> 01:44:34,747
Speaker 2: and loved ones. What was that day like for you?

2054
01:44:36,307 --> 01:44:37,227
Speaker 16: It was really special.

2055
01:44:37,307 --> 01:44:40,507
Speaker 8: I think having everybody's family there as well, just you know,

2056
01:44:40,667 --> 01:44:44,987
Speaker 8: seeing them connect and we having an opportunity to do.

2057
01:44:45,107 --> 01:44:47,867
Speaker 16: That was really special. And just being up on that

2058
01:44:47,947 --> 01:44:50,827
Speaker 16: stage with the girls and knowing what they've had to

2059
01:44:50,907 --> 01:44:53,107
Speaker 16: do to get to that moment, and it was really special.

2060
01:44:53,147 --> 01:44:57,067
Speaker 8: And they're just looking around probably excited me and like,

2061
01:44:57,187 --> 01:44:59,547
Speaker 8: we've got so much talent in our group that I

2062
01:44:59,667 --> 01:45:01,387
Speaker 8: think we've been really do a good job at this

2063
01:45:01,467 --> 01:45:01,907
Speaker 8: World Cup.

2064
01:45:02,067 --> 01:45:04,507
Speaker 2: I'm sure you will. And You've been the subject of

2065
01:45:04,787 --> 01:45:08,467
Speaker 2: an eight part document ntry series which is about to screen.

2066
01:45:08,507 --> 01:45:11,387
Speaker 2: It's called Triple Threat. It follows your journey as well

2067
01:45:11,427 --> 01:45:15,307
Speaker 2: as those of Maya, Joseph and Caitlin call Always you

2068
01:45:15,387 --> 01:45:17,307
Speaker 2: prepare for your first Rugby World Cup. So what have

2069
01:45:17,387 --> 01:45:19,867
Speaker 2: the camera's just been following you around for the last

2070
01:45:19,907 --> 01:45:20,627
Speaker 2: six months.

2071
01:45:22,587 --> 01:45:22,667
Speaker 3: Now?

2072
01:45:22,867 --> 01:45:25,067
Speaker 16: The cameras pop up here and there.

2073
01:45:25,107 --> 01:45:27,907
Speaker 8: It's actually been really cool, and I think when the

2074
01:45:28,067 --> 01:45:31,947
Speaker 8: doco comes out, like it's just nice to see people

2075
01:45:32,507 --> 01:45:34,907
Speaker 8: outside of rugby, Like there's a lot more to it

2076
01:45:35,027 --> 01:45:37,187
Speaker 8: than I guess a lot of people know. So I'm

2077
01:45:37,547 --> 01:45:40,707
Speaker 8: really excited for people to see that side of US

2078
01:45:40,787 --> 01:45:42,227
Speaker 8: three and the team.

2079
01:45:42,347 --> 01:45:43,627
Speaker 1: So it would be good.

2080
01:45:43,867 --> 01:45:46,147
Speaker 2: It should be good. So there's obviously rugby footage and

2081
01:45:46,427 --> 01:45:48,307
Speaker 2: training footage and stuff, But what do the cameras just

2082
01:45:48,347 --> 01:45:50,267
Speaker 2: sort of follow you twenty four to seven, like when

2083
01:45:50,307 --> 01:45:51,587
Speaker 2: you went to the shops and things like that.

2084
01:45:52,387 --> 01:45:56,867
Speaker 8: No, we kind of just have shit times or moments

2085
01:45:56,947 --> 01:45:59,547
Speaker 8: that they want to film, so they're like, I don't know,

2086
01:45:59,667 --> 01:46:01,627
Speaker 8: they came down to my house at home and just

2087
01:46:01,707 --> 01:46:04,027
Speaker 8: interviewed my parents and just different things like that. So

2088
01:46:04,387 --> 01:46:06,987
Speaker 8: we're lucky that the camera's aren't with us to seven.

2089
01:46:07,627 --> 01:46:11,067
Speaker 2: We can have a break, which isn't It's good to hear.

2090
01:46:11,187 --> 01:46:12,987
Speaker 2: So have you seen the finished product?

2091
01:46:13,707 --> 01:46:18,267
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've seen a couple episodes, which, yeah, it's so

2092
01:46:18,427 --> 01:46:21,267
Speaker 8: cool to say it all come together after everyone's.

2093
01:46:20,867 --> 01:46:22,747
Speaker 16: Put a lot of worse than effid into it, so

2094
01:46:23,547 --> 01:46:25,467
Speaker 16: hopefully everyone else enjoys watching it.

2095
01:46:25,707 --> 01:46:29,187
Speaker 2: I'm sure we will. And just to finish, Georgia heading

2096
01:46:29,227 --> 01:46:31,587
Speaker 2: off soon as I say, have you let yourself think

2097
01:46:31,587 --> 01:46:34,147
Speaker 2: about what it might be like to go deep, deep

2098
01:46:34,307 --> 01:46:37,427
Speaker 2: into this tournament and who knows even emulate what the

2099
01:46:37,467 --> 01:46:39,827
Speaker 2: Black Ferns did on home soil at the back end

2100
01:46:39,867 --> 01:46:40,747
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two.

2101
01:46:41,867 --> 01:46:42,467
Speaker 16: Yeah, definitely.

2102
01:46:42,507 --> 01:46:44,707
Speaker 8: I think probably the legacy of this jusey and of

2103
01:46:44,787 --> 01:46:49,667
Speaker 8: this team comes a lot of success, So have thought further,

2104
01:46:49,947 --> 01:46:51,827
Speaker 8: like obviously we need to get a lot of jobs

2105
01:46:51,867 --> 01:46:55,747
Speaker 8: done first, but just you know, dreams and imagining what

2106
01:46:55,867 --> 01:46:58,307
Speaker 8: it could be like or who we could be playing

2107
01:46:58,387 --> 01:46:59,107
Speaker 8: and stuff.

2108
01:46:59,027 --> 01:47:00,867
Speaker 16: Is Yeah, it's going to be cool.

2109
01:47:01,027 --> 01:47:03,627
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we're all very excited about watching you guys

2110
01:47:03,747 --> 01:47:06,267
Speaker 2: play Middle of the Night over here, of course, twelve

2111
01:47:06,387 --> 01:47:08,907
Speaker 2: thousand miles away, but we're getting up and look forward

2112
01:47:08,907 --> 01:47:11,067
Speaker 2: to watching how you go at the Rugby World Cup.

2113
01:47:11,107 --> 01:47:12,667
Speaker 2: All the best year in the team, Georgia, thanks for

2114
01:47:12,667 --> 01:47:15,707
Speaker 2: your time this afternoon, Awes, Thank you very much, Thank you, Georgia.

2115
01:47:15,747 --> 01:47:18,627
Speaker 2: Georgia Miller there part of the Black Ferns squad they

2116
01:47:18,747 --> 01:47:21,187
Speaker 2: head off. I think it might be Tuesday or Wednesday

2117
01:47:21,347 --> 01:47:24,147
Speaker 2: they head away. The first game at the Rugby World

2118
01:47:24,187 --> 01:47:27,187
Speaker 2: Cup is four thirty in the morning on Monday, August

2119
01:47:27,227 --> 01:47:31,627
Speaker 2: the twenty fifth. So what's that tomorrow fortnightth Does that

2120
01:47:31,667 --> 01:47:33,907
Speaker 2: sound right? Yeah, tomorrow's the eleventh year, twenty fifth, So

2121
01:47:34,027 --> 01:47:37,587
Speaker 2: two weeks tomorrow they take on Spain, then Japan the

2122
01:47:37,667 --> 01:47:40,187
Speaker 2: following Monday, that's at one o'clock in the morning, and

2123
01:47:40,307 --> 01:47:43,187
Speaker 2: then Ireland, who will probably be the stiffest competition in

2124
01:47:43,267 --> 01:47:46,587
Speaker 2: New Zealand's group, the following Monday, September the eighth, at

2125
01:47:46,627 --> 01:47:48,987
Speaker 2: one forty five. So those are the three Paul games

2126
01:47:49,027 --> 01:47:54,587
Speaker 2: on three consecutive Mondays, and it's a pretty simple format.

2127
01:47:54,627 --> 01:47:58,347
Speaker 2: There are four pauls of four top two into the quarterfinals,

2128
01:47:58,707 --> 01:48:03,067
Speaker 2: semifinals and the final. Nathan says there's a future captain.

2129
01:48:03,147 --> 01:48:03,347
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2130
01:48:03,907 --> 01:48:06,627
Speaker 2: Georgia Miller is an interesting case, isn't she? Because she's

2131
01:48:06,747 --> 01:48:10,907
Speaker 2: so good at sevens, so good, but anyone who saw

2132
01:48:10,987 --> 01:48:14,907
Speaker 2: her paid two rugby tests for the Black Ferns, one

2133
01:48:14,947 --> 01:48:17,867
Speaker 2: of which was that game just played the clip from

2134
01:48:18,147 --> 01:48:21,587
Speaker 2: where she scored that unbelievable try, So it feels as

2135
01:48:21,587 --> 01:48:24,627
Speaker 2: though she could decide what she wants to do, and

2136
01:48:24,787 --> 01:48:28,427
Speaker 2: it's not unusual for players to go back and forth,

2137
01:48:28,827 --> 01:48:31,867
Speaker 2: especially in the women's game between sevens and fifteen. She's

Speaker 2: eight win over Chinese Taipei. It was a bit of

2184
01:51:11,147 --> 01:51:15,387
Speaker 2: a cagey start, a close first quarter which the Tall

2185
01:51:15,427 --> 01:51:19,587
Speaker 2: Blacks led nineteen eighteen after and then they stretched their

2186
01:51:19,627 --> 01:51:21,387
Speaker 2: legs in the second and third quarters and ended up

2187
01:51:21,387 --> 01:51:25,707

2194
01:51:46,547 --> 01:51:48,547
Speaker 2: best performance of the tournament so far.

2195
01:51:48,667 --> 01:51:51,667
Speaker 4: Do you think I know how to answer that question.

2196
01:51:51,747 --> 01:51:53,467
Speaker 4: To be honest, I thought we did do well as

2197
01:51:53,467 --> 01:51:56,147
Speaker 4: a team. I thought we kept the intensely Wena come

2198
01:51:56,187 --> 01:51:59,267
Speaker 4: out great the first quarter, but we.

2199
01:52:00,067 --> 01:52:00,547
Speaker 5: Stuck with it.

2200
01:52:00,747 --> 01:52:04,827
Speaker 4: Sevend quarter. That'll good lead to fourth quarter that want

2201
01:52:04,827 --> 01:52:06,147
Speaker 4: to play us? By that time we kind of ran

2202
01:52:06,227 --> 01:52:08,387
Speaker 4: him the germ. So yeah, it was just good capitalyzed

2203
01:52:08,427 --> 01:52:11,467
Speaker 4: on that. But all in all, all the boys performed

2204
01:52:11,507 --> 01:52:12,387
Speaker 4: well across the board.

2205
01:52:13,147 --> 01:52:15,867
Speaker 2: Yeah, tight first quarter, as you say, just nineteen eighteen

2206
01:52:16,387 --> 01:52:18,867
Speaker 2: at quarter time, what do you think it took you

2207
01:52:18,867 --> 01:52:20,187
Speaker 2: a bit of time to get into the game.

2208
01:52:21,347 --> 01:52:26,787
Speaker 4: Probably just adjusting, Probably just adjusting to how how slow

2209
01:52:26,827 --> 01:52:28,347
Speaker 4: they wanted to play and we wanted to get out

2210
01:52:28,387 --> 01:52:30,787
Speaker 4: and they're pretty taxical at that point. And then also

2211
01:52:31,267 --> 01:52:34,347
Speaker 4: with a late night game eleven o'clock, you know, we

2212
01:52:34,427 --> 01:52:36,347
Speaker 4: had the energy flowing, but it was nothing compared to

2213
01:52:36,427 --> 01:52:39,187
Speaker 4: the Philippines game. Philippines put the energy, they had the crowd,

2214
01:52:39,667 --> 01:52:43,147
Speaker 4: so it was more us just adjusting to new circumstances,

2215
01:52:43,267 --> 01:52:46,507
Speaker 4: not having a big crowd being you know, we just

2216
01:52:46,627 --> 01:52:48,907
Speaker 4: have to rely on one another bringing that energy and

2217
01:52:49,267 --> 01:52:52,547
Speaker 4: once we realize that it was you know, I mean

2218
01:52:52,667 --> 01:52:54,627
Speaker 4: the scoreboard dictated that how.

2219
01:52:54,547 --> 01:52:56,267
Speaker 2: Do you adjust to a team that wants to slow

2220
01:52:56,307 --> 01:52:57,787
Speaker 2: things down like Chohinese type painted.

2221
01:52:59,827 --> 01:53:02,107
Speaker 4: We use our energy on defense, We knuckle down, we'd

2222
01:53:02,147 --> 01:53:07,027
Speaker 4: be vocal, our closeouts improved. We we just feed off

2223
01:53:07,027 --> 01:53:09,467
Speaker 4: each other's energy. You know, you can just you can

2224
01:53:09,547 --> 01:53:12,107
Speaker 4: just tell when one guy wants to guide the ball.

2225
01:53:12,427 --> 01:53:17,187
Speaker 4: Everyone climbs in and pay by play, possession by a position.

2226
01:53:17,307 --> 01:53:20,507
Speaker 4: You just start to feeling it and the next thing

2227
01:53:20,547 --> 01:53:22,947
Speaker 4: you know, we out running turn the lobs is good.

2228
01:53:23,387 --> 01:53:26,147
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at rebound numbers here and I know

2229
01:53:26,187 --> 01:53:28,107
Speaker 2: they only tell some of the story about sixty one,

2230
01:53:28,227 --> 01:53:31,427
Speaker 2: twenty two in your favor forty two at the defensive end.

2231
01:53:31,467 --> 01:53:34,307
Speaker 2: You must be stoked without your dominated the boards tonight.

2232
01:53:34,707 --> 01:53:35,947
Speaker 5: Yeah, we did amazing.

2233
01:53:36,027 --> 01:53:39,187
Speaker 4: We kept them to one shot, and there was always

2234
01:53:39,267 --> 01:53:43,267
Speaker 4: tough contested shots. We had our we had our scout

2235
01:53:43,707 --> 01:53:47,987
Speaker 4: and play making. The best players take tough contested shots,

2236
01:53:48,427 --> 01:53:50,747
Speaker 4: and even there lesser players take take shots.

2237
01:53:50,827 --> 01:53:53,427
Speaker 5: And then from there we just know we just got

2238
01:53:53,507 --> 01:53:54,027
Speaker 5: a box out of.

2239
01:53:54,027 --> 01:53:57,707
Speaker 4: Big seven foot and maintain those rebounds, and then that

2240
01:53:57,867 --> 01:53:58,627
Speaker 4: leads to our office.

2241
01:53:59,307 --> 01:53:59,827
Speaker 13: So it's good.

2242
01:54:00,787 --> 01:54:02,667
Speaker 2: Your stat line flown I know you probably don't want

2243
01:54:02,667 --> 01:54:04,667
Speaker 2: to talk about yourself too much, but twenty eight points

2244
01:54:04,787 --> 01:54:07,787
Speaker 2: nine rebounds ata sust couple of deals. How placed are

2245
01:54:07,867 --> 01:54:09,507
Speaker 2: you with the way you play personally?

2246
01:54:11,187 --> 01:54:11,347
Speaker 13: Uh?

2247
01:54:11,947 --> 01:54:14,227
Speaker 4: I mean it's a good, good performance, but you always

2248
01:54:14,227 --> 01:54:16,587
Speaker 4: look at you always look at go back to the film.

2249
01:54:16,627 --> 01:54:19,347
Speaker 4: So I'm never gonna be too high about that line.

2250
01:54:19,347 --> 01:54:21,027
Speaker 4: I'm always gonna look back at the film, look at

2251
01:54:21,307 --> 01:54:23,467
Speaker 4: what I can improve on. And yeah, at the end

2252
01:54:23,467 --> 01:54:26,067
Speaker 4: of the day, we came Today's a cup with one

2253
01:54:26,147 --> 01:54:28,147
Speaker 4: goal of mine. Then that's to win gold. And we're

2254
01:54:28,187 --> 01:54:31,147
Speaker 4: not gonna be satisfied to you know, to that last day.

2255
01:54:31,627 --> 01:54:33,627
Speaker 4: Hope we were in that Grand Final game and we'll

2256
01:54:33,627 --> 01:54:34,467
Speaker 4: see what happens from there.

2257
01:54:34,827 --> 01:54:37,067
Speaker 2: Well, let's victory takes you straight into the quart of finals.

2258
01:54:37,107 --> 01:54:39,067
Speaker 2: You don't have to worry about qualification around to make

2259
01:54:39,147 --> 01:54:42,467
Speaker 2: the last night. Uh, how big a how big an

2260
01:54:42,467 --> 01:54:44,427
Speaker 2: advantage is that you get a few days off now

2261
01:54:44,627 --> 01:54:45,907
Speaker 2: to prepare for the quarter finals.

2262
01:54:46,187 --> 01:54:49,107
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's huge, huge advantage, especially the way we played.

2263
01:54:49,507 --> 01:54:49,907
Speaker 5: We play.

2264
01:54:50,827 --> 01:54:55,107
Speaker 4: We play ten eleven guys, but where we're running the

2265
01:54:55,147 --> 01:54:58,187
Speaker 4: whole time, we're playing food court defense. You know, on

2266
01:54:58,227 --> 01:55:00,107
Speaker 4: the rise of the shop we're Jammy too. We'll play

2267
01:55:00,187 --> 01:55:04,187
Speaker 4: we play a very taxing uh game of basketball.

2268
01:55:04,227 --> 01:55:07,227
Speaker 5: But we know that our opernent I don't want to

2269
01:55:07,227 --> 01:55:07,827
Speaker 5: play that style.

2270
01:55:07,867 --> 01:55:09,587
Speaker 4: That's why they always want to sew it down to

2271
01:55:10,587 --> 01:55:13,107
Speaker 4: us getting three days off, just able to focused on

2272
01:55:13,147 --> 01:55:16,707
Speaker 4: our recovery and then get ahead start on our scout,

2273
01:55:16,947 --> 01:55:19,747
Speaker 4: just knowing who we're going to play next, and then yeah,

2274
01:55:19,867 --> 01:55:21,467
Speaker 4: I think that just gives us the advantages.

2275
01:55:22,147 --> 01:55:24,387
Speaker 2: There's some guys on this team from all over the world.

2276
01:55:25,067 --> 01:55:27,107
Speaker 2: How do you how do you see about meshing to

2277
01:55:27,147 --> 01:55:30,387
Speaker 2: get the combinations you know, in a relatively short time.

2278
01:55:31,787 --> 01:55:33,987
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say we're all from all over the world.

2279
01:55:34,067 --> 01:55:36,027
Speaker 4: But one thing we have in common is, you know,

2280
01:55:36,067 --> 01:55:36,707
Speaker 4: we've all come.

2281
01:55:36,667 --> 01:55:37,187
Speaker 5: Back to play.

2282
01:55:37,867 --> 01:55:41,267
Speaker 4: We know the Tall Blacks culture, the brotherhood. We've all

2283
01:55:41,307 --> 01:55:44,067
Speaker 4: got connections to that family. So I mean, if you

2284
01:55:44,547 --> 01:55:45,987
Speaker 4: you're one of the new guys, we know we've got

2285
01:55:46,027 --> 01:55:48,467
Speaker 4: a couple a couple of players that just came into

2286
01:55:49,187 --> 01:55:53,267
Speaker 4: the team and they're experiencing the culture. But I'd say

2287
01:55:53,267 --> 01:55:58,067
Speaker 4: it becomes relatively easy, you know, when you when you're

2288
01:55:58,107 --> 01:56:01,827
Speaker 4: on long trips such as these ones, it becomes how

2289
01:56:01,867 --> 01:56:05,547
Speaker 4: would you say, pretty easy to just blend and.

2290
01:56:05,627 --> 01:56:06,307
Speaker 5: Be a part of the coach.

2291
01:56:06,707 --> 01:56:09,427
Speaker 4: You know, it's effeless for us being from each other,

2292
01:56:09,627 --> 01:56:12,547
Speaker 4: but say so, we all know each other. You know,

2293
01:56:12,627 --> 01:56:17,027
Speaker 4: basketball is a small world, but I'd say it becomes effortless.

2294
01:56:17,147 --> 01:56:19,467
Speaker 4: You know, you feel like you just something that you've

2295
01:56:19,467 --> 01:56:22,507
Speaker 4: always wanted to do, play high level basketball with guys

2296
01:56:22,547 --> 01:56:24,787
Speaker 4: from the same country as you.

2297
01:56:25,107 --> 01:56:25,427
Speaker 10: Love that.

2298
01:56:25,867 --> 01:56:26,467
Speaker 13: Love that man.

2299
01:56:26,627 --> 01:56:29,107
Speaker 2: Love that three point percentage as well, was good tonight

2300
01:56:29,187 --> 01:56:31,827
Speaker 2: forty four thing more than good forty four percent? How

2301
01:56:31,867 --> 01:56:33,547
Speaker 2: big a stand is that when you're heading, you know,

2302
01:56:33,787 --> 01:56:36,627
Speaker 2: from beyond the arc and able to score and big

2303
01:56:36,667 --> 01:56:37,507
Speaker 2: clumps as a team.

2304
01:56:37,827 --> 01:56:39,067
Speaker 4: As a team, it's amazing.

2305
01:56:39,187 --> 01:56:41,307
Speaker 19: But we we know how good we are.

2306
01:56:41,427 --> 01:56:44,347
Speaker 4: We know each player is capable of hearing those threes.

2307
01:56:44,867 --> 01:56:47,307
Speaker 4: We know the game style. Judd knows the game style

2308
01:56:47,347 --> 01:56:49,187
Speaker 4: that we want to play. That's why recruited guys that

2309
01:56:49,267 --> 01:56:51,467
Speaker 4: can shoot a three and then also be able to

2310
01:56:51,507 --> 01:56:54,467
Speaker 4: penetrate and finish out the room. So yes, you know,

2311
01:56:54,547 --> 01:56:57,707
Speaker 4: it's obviously it's pleasing to see that we're shooting at

2312
01:56:57,787 --> 01:57:00,467
Speaker 4: the at a high percentage, but at the same time,

2313
01:57:00,547 --> 01:57:02,747
Speaker 4: it's we expect that because we know how good we are.

2314
01:57:03,747 --> 01:57:08,067
Speaker 2: Your your free throw routine really interesting. Yeah, just before

2315
01:57:08,107 --> 01:57:10,067
Speaker 2: your shirt, you just is it just you bring your

2316
01:57:10,107 --> 01:57:12,387
Speaker 2: hand down. Is that just to just to calm yourself

2317
01:57:12,427 --> 01:57:13,307
Speaker 2: before you take the shot?

2318
01:57:14,627 --> 01:57:14,987
Speaker 5: Exactly?

2319
01:57:15,067 --> 01:57:18,267
Speaker 4: That exactly that I feel like that's the only time

2320
01:57:18,427 --> 01:57:22,227
Speaker 4: in the game where everything's on your time, you know,

2321
01:57:22,627 --> 01:57:25,867
Speaker 4: so you can really just I just I've been without

2322
01:57:25,907 --> 01:57:28,547
Speaker 4: routine surpass I don't even know since I was the college.

2323
01:57:28,747 --> 01:57:32,147
Speaker 4: Since how that my last year at high school. Instead

2324
01:57:32,147 --> 01:57:34,507
Speaker 4: of rushing it, I just thought, you know what, this

2325
01:57:34,787 --> 01:57:37,907
Speaker 4: is my time to just you know, set her down.

2326
01:57:37,987 --> 01:57:38,947
Speaker 5: And it's just me and the hoop.

2327
01:57:39,907 --> 01:57:42,267
Speaker 2: Well, it's working, man, it's working. How big an influence

2328
01:57:42,267 --> 01:57:43,107
Speaker 2: has your dad been on you?

2329
01:57:44,627 --> 01:57:44,707
Speaker 12: Now?

2330
01:57:44,747 --> 01:57:46,587
Speaker 13: It's been awesome, you know.

2331
01:57:48,027 --> 01:57:50,987
Speaker 4: Ever since a young kid, you know, I've just was

2332
01:57:51,107 --> 01:57:53,147
Speaker 4: all I've known is a Tour Blacks feel us. You know,

2333
01:57:54,267 --> 01:57:57,067
Speaker 4: I'd go watch it. Well, we didn't know much one

2334
01:57:57,107 --> 01:57:58,787
Speaker 4: more growing up. We just knew how dad played for

2335
01:57:58,827 --> 01:58:01,307
Speaker 4: the Tour Black Student, how good he was. But I'd

2336
01:58:01,347 --> 01:58:04,027
Speaker 4: say that's probably his biggest influence on me and my brother,

2337
01:58:04,147 --> 01:58:06,307
Speaker 4: you know, just remaining humble at all times all these

2338
01:58:07,627 --> 01:58:11,587
Speaker 4: uh you know, trying to be present and then trying

2339
01:58:11,587 --> 01:58:15,107
Speaker 4: to always have that uh that ain't goal of mind

2340
01:58:15,627 --> 01:58:19,187
Speaker 4: in terms of us becoming you know, going from gold

2341
01:58:19,467 --> 01:58:20,147
Speaker 4: why can't we win?

2342
01:58:20,747 --> 01:58:21,387
Speaker 5: Why can't we win?

2343
01:58:21,547 --> 01:58:21,587
Speaker 19: Go?

2344
01:58:22,907 --> 01:58:27,947
Speaker 4: So yeah, but definitely the biggest influence on uh myself,

2345
01:58:27,987 --> 01:58:29,667
Speaker 4: say as a basketball player, but also as a man.

2346
01:58:29,827 --> 01:58:32,547
Speaker 4: And then it's just awesome because he's part of the

2347
01:58:32,547 --> 01:58:36,907
Speaker 4: commentary team, so you know, he's never he's never that

2348
01:58:37,027 --> 01:58:37,987
Speaker 4: far from the tall Blacks.

2349
01:58:37,987 --> 01:58:41,107
Speaker 2: To be honest, it's it's sexually really interesting listening to

2350
01:58:41,227 --> 01:58:43,587
Speaker 2: on commentary because I think he's you know, he probably

2351
01:58:43,627 --> 01:58:45,467
Speaker 2: doesn't want to, he probably doesn't want to like, you know,

2352
01:58:45,587 --> 01:58:48,027
Speaker 2: to show favoritism. He hardly talks about you at all.

2353
01:58:48,027 --> 01:58:50,467
Speaker 2: You're getting twenty eight points and he's trying to deflict

2354
01:58:50,707 --> 01:58:51,907
Speaker 2: to other guys on the team.

2355
01:58:52,867 --> 01:58:54,947
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know that's my dad.

2356
01:58:55,067 --> 01:58:57,907
Speaker 4: But it's it's funny as just hearing him talk even

2357
01:58:57,947 --> 01:59:00,187
Speaker 4: in the other games, you know, like because he's got

2358
01:59:00,187 --> 01:59:02,507
Speaker 4: a great relationship with all of us. You know, he's

2359
01:59:02,707 --> 01:59:05,947
Speaker 4: he was the head coach previously, and then before the

2360
01:59:06,027 --> 01:59:07,987
Speaker 4: game war giving them dap ups and hugs like not

2361
01:59:08,147 --> 01:59:10,147
Speaker 4: just me. I think the first day when I saw him,

2362
01:59:10,147 --> 01:59:11,707
Speaker 4: I gave him a dap up in a hug. But

2363
01:59:11,787 --> 01:59:13,427
Speaker 4: then right after me, I saw a Dante give him

2364
01:59:13,427 --> 01:59:15,587
Speaker 4: a dap up in a hug, and then Taylor Bric

2365
01:59:15,587 --> 01:59:16,027
Speaker 4: gave him.

2366
01:59:15,907 --> 01:59:16,627
Speaker 5: A dap up in a hug.

2367
01:59:16,667 --> 01:59:19,187
Speaker 4: You know, that's just that Tour Blacks culture. Every time

2368
01:59:19,227 --> 01:59:22,667
Speaker 4: you see uh one of the alumni part of it,

2369
01:59:23,187 --> 01:59:26,027
Speaker 4: you always want to, you know, show respect. And that's

2370
01:59:26,187 --> 01:59:28,947
Speaker 4: that's a big part of the Tour Blacks respect in

2371
01:59:28,987 --> 01:59:31,867
Speaker 4: the past, honoring the prison, setting it up well for the.

2372
01:59:31,867 --> 01:59:34,267
Speaker 2: Future, absolutely right, or I might we'll just for you go.

2373
01:59:34,387 --> 01:59:36,827
Speaker 2: So the next three days or so, you'll you'll have

2374
01:59:36,987 --> 01:59:40,347
Speaker 2: some some refreshment and recuperation, but then you'll you'll look

2375
01:59:40,387 --> 01:59:42,107
Speaker 2: ahead to whoever it is that you got in the

2376
01:59:42,187 --> 01:59:44,947
Speaker 2: quarterfinals and start scouting exactly that.

2377
01:59:45,347 --> 01:59:47,787
Speaker 4: You know, number one goal of mine is just making

2378
01:59:47,787 --> 01:59:50,827
Speaker 4: sure we're all or a healthy or prime now seldery

2379
01:59:50,907 --> 01:59:53,027
Speaker 4: for when when we do play in three days. But

2380
01:59:53,827 --> 01:59:55,947
Speaker 4: number one goal right now is just try to get

2381
01:59:55,987 --> 01:59:58,107
Speaker 4: some great sleep, get some great food into our bodies,

2382
01:59:58,107 --> 01:59:59,587
Speaker 4: and then side the recovery process.

2383
02:00:00,387 --> 02:00:02,947
Speaker 2: Congratch on another great one, Flinn and a great performance

2384
02:00:02,987 --> 02:00:04,627
Speaker 2: from you, MTE. Really appreciate you taking the time for

2385
02:00:04,667 --> 02:00:04,987
Speaker 2: a chat.

2386
02:00:05,667 --> 02:00:05,827
Speaker 19: Big.

2387
02:00:06,907 --> 02:00:08,707
Speaker 2: You have a good day too, although I guess it's

2388
02:00:08,787 --> 02:00:10,307
Speaker 2: night there now you might be off to bed, thanks

2389
02:00:10,347 --> 02:00:15,267
Speaker 2: Flynn Flynn. Cameron there game high twenty eight points as

2390
02:00:15,387 --> 02:00:19,187
Speaker 2: New Zealand beach Chinese Taipei one eighteen seventy eight this morning.

2391
02:00:19,227 --> 02:00:23,147
Speaker 2: His stat lines so good twenty eight points, nine rebounds,

2392
02:00:23,307 --> 02:00:27,187
Speaker 2: eight assists, a couple of steals as well. Mahave King

2393
02:00:27,707 --> 02:00:29,227
Speaker 2: was the other one who stood out in terms of

2394
02:00:29,267 --> 02:00:33,867
Speaker 2: the stats twenty two points, eight rebounds, four assists, a

2395
02:00:33,947 --> 02:00:37,707
Speaker 2: steal in a block and just contributions you know here

2396
02:00:37,787 --> 02:00:39,907
Speaker 2: and there. Max Darling with nine points, Ben gold Good

2397
02:00:39,947 --> 02:00:43,227
Speaker 2: ta Wa Boy fourteen points for him, Taylor Britt with

2398
02:00:43,387 --> 02:00:46,187
Speaker 2: fourteen points. So it's a real team effort for this

2399
02:00:46,667 --> 02:00:49,387
Speaker 2: tall black side. So as mentioned, what that does is

2400
02:00:49,907 --> 02:00:54,347
Speaker 2: qualify them direct for the quarterfinals. The way this tournament

2401
02:00:54,427 --> 02:00:56,347
Speaker 2: is set up as there are four groups of four,

2402
02:00:57,067 --> 02:00:59,707
Speaker 2: the top side in each of the groups goes directly

2403
02:00:59,787 --> 02:01:02,707
Speaker 2: into the quarterfinals and the teams that finish second and

2404
02:01:02,867 --> 02:01:06,827
Speaker 2: third go into some sudden death qualification to make it

2405
02:01:06,947 --> 02:01:11,227
Speaker 2: through to the quarterfinals. And just checking the schedule, New

2406
02:01:11,307 --> 02:01:15,747
Speaker 2: Zealand's quarter final isn't until Thursday, so what over today Sunday?

2407
02:01:16,147 --> 02:01:18,227
Speaker 2: So they've got a bit of time to, as Flynt said,

2408
02:01:18,307 --> 02:01:22,547
Speaker 2: to refresh and recuperate and then to scout whoever as

2409
02:01:22,587 --> 02:01:24,067
Speaker 2: they will be playing. They won't know that of course

2410
02:01:24,147 --> 02:01:27,667
Speaker 2: until after those qualification games, but they are through directly

2411
02:01:27,747 --> 02:01:31,387
Speaker 2: to the quarterfinals, as are China. Australia are looking good

2412
02:01:31,507 --> 02:01:33,787
Speaker 2: as well. They've got one more game to go tomorrow.

2413
02:01:34,507 --> 02:01:37,067
Speaker 2: They will probably also go straight through to the quarterfinals

2414
02:01:37,187 --> 02:01:39,987
Speaker 2: and would be you'd have to think the favorite for

2415
02:01:40,067 --> 02:01:41,667
Speaker 2: the whole thing. But I just loved the way Flynn

2416
02:01:41,667 --> 02:01:44,747
Speaker 2: Cameron was talking there. We had to win it, we

2417
02:01:44,867 --> 02:01:46,547
Speaker 2: had to win the Asia carp and why can't we?

2418
02:01:47,267 --> 02:01:49,787
Speaker 2: I watched them play this morning and yeah, Chinese Taipei

2419
02:01:49,867 --> 02:01:51,947
Speaker 2: didn't offer a heck of a lot, but I thought

2420
02:01:52,027 --> 02:01:54,467
Speaker 2: New Zealand were tremendous, really really good. Looking forward to

2421
02:01:54,467 --> 02:01:58,547
Speaker 2: seeing how they go in their quarterfinal on Thursday nine.

2422
02:01:58,587 --> 02:01:59,907
Speaker 2: Away from three News Talks, he'd be.

2423
02:02:01,547 --> 02:02:04,147
