1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: And Jason Pine sports talkhosters with me, Hey Poney, Hallo, Heather. 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: So Liam Lawson has he redeemed himself? Do you think? 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah, good weekend from his best weekend 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 2: as a Formula One driver, has best ever finish sixth 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: in the race itself. But I think you take it 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: wider than just this morning, to the way he was 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 2: in practice, the way he wasn't qualifying, and then the 8 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 2: way that he continued it on into the race itself. 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: He's done well in practice and in qualifying another weekends 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: in the Grand Prix season, but hasn't translated it into 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: a performance on the track. Look, he had to avoid 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 2: a bit of carnage on the first lap that got 13 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: rid of Max for staffing. Then he had to hold 14 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: off Fernando Alonso, a former world champion for about forty 15 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: or fifty laps, had to manage the hire strategy. I 16 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: think a really good weekend for Liam Lawson and hopefully 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: the springboard from which he can he can jump into 18 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: a much better second half of the year. 19 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: And what happens then if he does well? Look, because 20 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm not stuck where he is for years now. No. 21 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: The thing about red ball and racing balls is that 22 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: it just seems like utterly chaotic at times. No one 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: wants to be in the second seat with Max for Stappin. 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: Yuki Sonoda, who took that seat or remember from Liam 25 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: after just two races, is having a heck of a 26 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 2: time trying to drive that car. He was the last 27 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: finish of this morning. Oh, look, in many ways, it's 28 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: probably a bit of a poison chalice. If Max for 29 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: Stappan leaves Red Ball, then Liam Lawson, if he continues 30 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: to drive like this, would have to be a candidate 31 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: along with Sonoda and probably had the other driver to 32 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: jump into the top team. So I guess we're waiting 33 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: to see. But yet, look, finishing the way he has 34 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: this morning can't be a bad thing. 35 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: Yep, fair point. Now, what's happened to Luke Metcalf. 36 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 2: We're still waiting on the scans, but it looked really 37 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: bad when he came off and just the way that 38 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: he was reacting. He's had an ACL before on the 39 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: other knee, and I don't know, I just feel as 40 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: though he knew that it was a serious knee injury. 41 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: So I think we can probably do or probably know 42 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: that we're not going to have Luke Metcalf for the 43 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: rest of this year, So what do they do to 44 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: Mighty Martin might be the best placement. Tanner Boyd is 45 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: another one, but Luke Metcalf has been playing so well. 46 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: And then you couple that with at the moment, we're 47 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: not sure about chance nikol klukstar either DLL and what 48 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: Tennis lesni acts out when Mitch Barnett has gone for 49 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: the season. I didn't know that said. It's becoming a 50 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: list either, not just one or two. You know, we've 51 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: talked about the next amount up mentality, but when you 52 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: lose so many key players in spine positions, you do 53 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: start to worry just a little bit. 54 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: Look here we were saying, and we were wrong, right, 55 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: We both were of the view that they would hardly 56 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: missed Dell and what does Alesniak and that step up? 57 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: And then man, what a spanking. So it's just I mean, 58 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: that's so. 59 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: Unpredictable they are, and they go through this sort of thing, 60 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 2: don't they either, You know, anyone the Warriors, even you 61 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: know from a distance, knows that they go through peaks 62 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 2: and troughs. I just hope that these injuries don't derail them. 63 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: You know, like I say in key positions, they do 64 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: have a bye week, so it gives them a bit 65 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: of time to refresh. And the next three games are 66 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: against teams who are in the bottom five on the table. 67 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: So it's not a chilling July, but it could be 68 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: a very important July. 69 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: Piny, scan your brain for me and tell me. Is 70 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: there any team New Zealand team that plays with the 71 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: old Ruggaball right, so we're going union and league here. 72 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: Who are as inconsistent as the Warriors? 73 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 2: I'll say the Blues until last year. They're about as 74 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 2: close as I can come. Hurricanes, Hurricanes, actually a lot 75 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: of them like that. 76 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: I can tell you, Okay, they're out there. It's not 77 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: just the Warriors. They that Poney as per appreciated. 78 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: Mate. 79 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: That's Jason Pine.
