I think I 88 00:05:13,507 --> 00:05:17,587 Speaker 5: think some of our frustrations obviously were self inflicted. You know, 89 00:05:17,627 --> 00:05:20,987 Speaker 5: I thought our effort were really, really good all night again, 90 00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:26,627 Speaker 5: but you know, our game was certainly punctuated with some yeah, 91 00:05:26,667 --> 00:05:31,627 Speaker 5: pretty fundamentally easy errors, and we spent big time, you know, 92 00:05:31,667 --> 00:05:33,667 Speaker 5: both in the first half and the second half. At 93 00:05:33,707 --> 00:05:37,307 Speaker 5: sometimes the possession swings were sort of sixty forty and 94 00:05:37,387 --> 00:05:41,347 Speaker 5: seventy thirty, which you know, he has a fair adverse 95 00:05:41,347 --> 00:05:45,627 Speaker 5: effect on your energy levels, and you know, we just 96 00:05:45,747 --> 00:05:48,667 Speaker 5: robbed ourselves with a lot of opportunities to play down 97 00:05:48,707 --> 00:05:51,227 Speaker 5: their end. But I thought, I thought we did show 98 00:05:51,267 --> 00:05:53,267 Speaker 5: good energy and I thought we showed a good energy 99 00:05:53,307 --> 00:05:55,667 Speaker 5: to move the ball at times and we got out 100 00:05:55,667 --> 00:05:58,027 Speaker 5: of his own end pretty well. We just you know, 101 00:05:58,347 --> 00:06:00,507 Speaker 5: we were sort of playing on scraps in good ball. 102 00:06:00,587 --> 00:06:03,707 Speaker 5: But I thought we came off the ropes after those 103 00:06:03,747 --> 00:06:08,227 Speaker 5: sort of possession swings and yeah, some some six agains 104 00:06:08,227 --> 00:06:09,947 Speaker 5: and some penalties in there. I thought we came off 105 00:06:09,987 --> 00:06:13,147 Speaker 5: the ropes, you know, pretty well in what we're tight 106 00:06:13,187 --> 00:06:17,347 Speaker 5: and very tough game. The sort of ball in play 107 00:06:17,347 --> 00:06:21,347 Speaker 5: scores that have come back today and the intensity scores 108 00:06:21,387 --> 00:06:25,227 Speaker 5: were probably the second highest we've had all season. So yeah, 109 00:06:25,267 --> 00:06:27,267 Speaker 5: it would it would have. It would have pretty tough 110 00:06:27,307 --> 00:06:28,107 Speaker 5: and taxing game. 111 00:06:28,427 --> 00:06:30,027 Speaker 3: I want to talk about some of the things you've 112 00:06:30,227 --> 00:06:33,147 Speaker 3: mentioned there in terms of the self infliction etcyrenderm moment. 113 00:06:33,147 --> 00:06:36,067 Speaker 3: But after three strike losses, Rich, how important is just 114 00:06:36,107 --> 00:06:38,787 Speaker 3: getting a win rather than the manner in which you achieved. 115 00:06:40,467 --> 00:06:43,267 Speaker 5: Yeah, good, good question. Well, well, first of all, it's 116 00:06:43,387 --> 00:06:46,227 Speaker 5: very important, and you know, we would have way last 117 00:06:46,267 --> 00:06:49,947 Speaker 5: week I watched I watched the Dragons play and played 118 00:06:50,107 --> 00:06:53,267 Speaker 5: very very well again Crnalla and the commentary on the 119 00:06:53,307 --> 00:06:57,907 Speaker 5: TV and that was saying about the Dragons record again again. 120 00:06:58,027 --> 00:07:01,187 Speaker 5: Top eight teams and I sort of thought the question 121 00:07:01,267 --> 00:07:03,387 Speaker 5: at the moment is what's the top eight team? Because 122 00:07:04,147 --> 00:07:06,027 Speaker 5: there's teams that are in and out of the eight, 123 00:07:06,107 --> 00:07:09,787 Speaker 5: but there's teams like the Dragons playing exceptionally well. You know, 124 00:07:09,827 --> 00:07:11,987 Speaker 5: there's teams when you're going down to almost eleventh and 125 00:07:12,027 --> 00:07:15,707 Speaker 5: twelve position that you like, everybody's just capable of being 126 00:07:15,747 --> 00:07:17,987 Speaker 5: anybody at the moment, and you know, we came up 127 00:07:18,027 --> 00:07:20,467 Speaker 5: again aside in good form, and I think on the 128 00:07:20,507 --> 00:07:22,507 Speaker 5: back of three defeats, you know, one of them very 129 00:07:22,507 --> 00:07:25,787 Speaker 5: close one. It was just important for us to get 130 00:07:25,827 --> 00:07:29,907 Speaker 5: the win for sure, and obviously an opportunity because of 131 00:07:29,947 --> 00:07:32,827 Speaker 5: the previous night's results to put ourselves in the top four. 132 00:07:32,907 --> 00:07:36,227 Speaker 5: So you know, it's in our hands. It's been a 133 00:07:36,267 --> 00:07:39,707 Speaker 5: long season and we've had a lot of a lot 134 00:07:39,707 --> 00:07:43,067 Speaker 5: of things to contend with along the way, but you 135 00:07:43,067 --> 00:07:45,627 Speaker 5: know we're in there. We're still fighting, and you know, 136 00:07:45,667 --> 00:07:46,707 Speaker 5: I know we're a team that we. 137 00:07:47,067 --> 00:07:48,027 Speaker 6: Will fight to the death. 138 00:07:48,427 --> 00:07:50,147 Speaker 3: There are a couple of instances late in the game 139 00:07:50,187 --> 00:07:55,147 Speaker 3: where the Dragons made line breaks, desperate scrambling by Warriors defenders. 140 00:07:55,147 --> 00:07:57,667 Speaker 3: How proud were you of your players and moments like 141 00:07:57,707 --> 00:07:59,867 Speaker 3: that and managing to hold them out, especially given the 142 00:07:59,867 --> 00:08:02,787 Speaker 3: fact that you know, a week ago against you know, 143 00:08:03,107 --> 00:08:05,667 Speaker 3: or against the Dolphins previously, you know that that scored 144 00:08:05,747 --> 00:08:08,267 Speaker 3: late prayer. Were you of your team last night in 145 00:08:07,947 --> 00:08:10,387 Speaker 3: those in those closing minutes, Yeah, I. 146 00:08:10,347 --> 00:08:12,187 Speaker 5: Mean, I've got to say, the play that they put 147 00:08:12,187 --> 00:08:14,827 Speaker 5: on from their own end, what a good play, you know, 148 00:08:15,147 --> 00:08:17,947 Speaker 5: a really well executed, tough play to defend. But yeah, 149 00:08:17,947 --> 00:08:20,867 Speaker 5: we had a lot of white shirts back ready to 150 00:08:20,907 --> 00:08:23,667 Speaker 5: scramble his online and thought, I thought we got that 151 00:08:23,707 --> 00:08:25,867 Speaker 5: through the evening. You know, we conceded a couple of 152 00:08:25,867 --> 00:08:29,667 Speaker 5: tries on our right again, and that's an area that 153 00:08:29,907 --> 00:08:32,787 Speaker 5: undoubtedly we've We've just got to keep working harder. You know. 154 00:08:33,387 --> 00:08:35,867 Speaker 5: I know a lot of I guess criticism has come 155 00:08:35,947 --> 00:08:41,107 Speaker 5: down's way, but I don't think that quite tells the 156 00:08:41,147 --> 00:08:42,787 Speaker 5: full story, do you know what I mean. I think 157 00:08:42,987 --> 00:08:45,987 Speaker 5: it's very much a collective and we've still got to 158 00:08:45,987 --> 00:08:47,587 Speaker 5: come up with some better answers than what we did 159 00:08:47,667 --> 00:08:52,187 Speaker 5: last night. But I thought generally our scramble, I think 160 00:08:52,947 --> 00:08:55,027 Speaker 5: people will point to the hia's but I think the 161 00:08:55,027 --> 00:08:57,707 Speaker 5: possession scores, and certainly at second half when it were 162 00:08:57,707 --> 00:09:02,227 Speaker 5: creeping up to seventy thirty, that takes enormous amount of 163 00:09:03,467 --> 00:09:06,587 Speaker 5: impact on your energy levels, and with a ball in 164 00:09:06,627 --> 00:09:09,787 Speaker 5: play and the intensity game being as high as it is, 165 00:09:09,947 --> 00:09:12,147 Speaker 5: I think those last moments to get so many people 166 00:09:12,187 --> 00:09:14,627 Speaker 5: back scrambling like they did, you know, it shows a 167 00:09:14,707 --> 00:09:16,907 Speaker 5: real good spirit and desire from our guys. 168 00:09:17,227 --> 00:09:19,667 Speaker 3: Indeed, so when you when you do a tech the 169 00:09:20,547 --> 00:09:22,627 Speaker 3: week you hit and you you look back at your 170 00:09:22,627 --> 00:09:24,787 Speaker 3: review of this as you've seid on this chair. And 171 00:09:24,787 --> 00:09:26,787 Speaker 3: Andrew Wibster said last night, you know you're making it 172 00:09:26,827 --> 00:09:30,107 Speaker 3: hard for yourselves on occasions. What are the work ons rich, 173 00:09:30,147 --> 00:09:32,107 Speaker 3: What will you focus your attention on a hit of 174 00:09:32,107 --> 00:09:33,067 Speaker 3: the Titans next week? 175 00:09:35,187 --> 00:09:35,547 Speaker 6: Althok? 176 00:09:35,627 --> 00:09:37,387 Speaker 5: I think I think we've got to double down on 177 00:09:38,707 --> 00:09:40,587 Speaker 5: what we're doing well as much as what we've got 178 00:09:40,587 --> 00:09:44,147 Speaker 5: to improve. I thought we showed a good propensity to 179 00:09:45,307 --> 00:09:47,787 Speaker 5: you know, take ques and play some short sides, play 180 00:09:47,827 --> 00:09:49,787 Speaker 5: some off flow, move the ball from our own end. 181 00:09:49,827 --> 00:09:51,547 Speaker 5: I thought we gained a lot of energy from that, 182 00:09:51,627 --> 00:09:56,067 Speaker 5: and we weren't afraid to you know, we certainly didn't 183 00:09:56,107 --> 00:10:00,867 Speaker 5: play in in a pragmatic style. I think importantly we've 184 00:10:00,867 --> 00:10:03,507 Speaker 5: we've still got to keep improving our strike, but we 185 00:10:03,627 --> 00:10:05,947 Speaker 5: want to get more opportunities down there and back by 186 00:10:06,027 --> 00:10:10,187 Speaker 5: staying down there and and some of those areas, unfortunately 187 00:10:10,187 --> 00:10:12,907 Speaker 5: we're just fundamental errors people dropping the ball and dropping 188 00:10:12,947 --> 00:10:15,067 Speaker 5: the ball in contact. The one thing I will say, 189 00:10:15,067 --> 00:10:17,667 Speaker 5: we're out on the field for warm up, and there 190 00:10:17,667 --> 00:10:19,347 Speaker 5: were in an absence of any win last night. 191 00:10:19,427 --> 00:10:22,747 Speaker 7: So what we found was that the balls actually were 192 00:10:22,827 --> 00:10:28,347 Speaker 7: incredibly greasy and soapy last night. It were a difficult, 193 00:10:28,907 --> 00:10:33,107 Speaker 7: real difficult night for that. But without a doubt those. 194 00:10:32,907 --> 00:10:34,867 Speaker 5: Areas which we just got a wide amount of game. 195 00:10:34,907 --> 00:10:39,027 Speaker 5: And I think sometimes if you look last night, some 196 00:10:39,107 --> 00:10:42,267 Speaker 5: of those instances are purely and simple, an individual thing. 197 00:10:43,147 --> 00:10:44,867 Speaker 5: You know, we'll work out on our skill and make 198 00:10:44,907 --> 00:10:46,587 Speaker 5: sure that we're dealing in the ball as well as 199 00:10:46,587 --> 00:10:50,747 Speaker 5: we can, but sometimes it's just it's just a little 200 00:10:50,987 --> 00:10:56,027 Speaker 5: concentration or someone that's not got the right grids in contact. 201 00:10:56,027 --> 00:11:00,107 Speaker 5: But it certainly hurts last night. You know, we conceded 202 00:11:00,147 --> 00:11:03,187 Speaker 5: a lot of position and positioning. You know that we 203 00:11:03,307 --> 00:11:05,307 Speaker 5: don't you know, we don't, We don't. They're right at 204 00:11:05,307 --> 00:11:08,027 Speaker 5: that point to to have a crack at the tie line. 205 00:11:08,027 --> 00:11:12,187 Speaker 5: And yeah, with a couple of guys that probably probaly 206 00:11:12,227 --> 00:11:13,827 Speaker 5: had one or two hours more than they would have 207 00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:14,507 Speaker 5: liked last night. 208 00:11:15,107 --> 00:11:18,507 Speaker 3: Are you expecting any any plays back next week? Presumably Cook, Kyple, 209 00:11:18,587 --> 00:11:21,227 Speaker 3: Tomlly Martin. If the concussion, I should be okay, roc 210 00:11:21,227 --> 00:11:22,147 Speaker 3: I Berry you say your. 211 00:11:22,187 --> 00:11:26,107 Speaker 5: Chance, Yeah, I think so. It's still early doors. But 212 00:11:27,147 --> 00:11:32,787 Speaker 5: I think the three guys there that you mentioned, yeah, 213 00:11:32,827 --> 00:11:35,827 Speaker 5: they'llll be They'll all be contention. I think Rocco will 214 00:11:35,827 --> 00:11:39,667 Speaker 5: certainly after pass on physical tests and kick some boxes 215 00:11:39,747 --> 00:11:42,587 Speaker 5: during the week as well. The guys that I had 216 00:11:42,587 --> 00:11:45,387 Speaker 5: the headnocks. But to be fair to my to Mary 217 00:11:45,427 --> 00:11:48,307 Speaker 5: felt all right last Saturday. You know literally you got 218 00:11:48,347 --> 00:11:50,107 Speaker 5: in the changing rooms after the game you were like, 219 00:11:50,267 --> 00:11:53,267 Speaker 5: now fine, and he will find that in you know, 220 00:11:53,307 --> 00:11:56,467 Speaker 5: within seconds of it happening. But you know, the protocols 221 00:11:56,467 --> 00:11:58,387 Speaker 5: are there for a reason for his own protection. But 222 00:11:58,507 --> 00:12:01,027 Speaker 5: you know, both those guys that you know will be 223 00:12:01,067 --> 00:12:04,907 Speaker 5: backing for training and good to go for selection next week, 224 00:12:04,907 --> 00:12:07,147 Speaker 5: and fingers crossed, we can you know, we can get 225 00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:08,627 Speaker 5: Rocco to the start line as well. 226 00:12:08,787 --> 00:12:10,827 Speaker 3: Good stuff. And just to finish, just back to the 227 00:12:10,827 --> 00:12:12,667 Speaker 3: point you made before about what actually is a top 228 00:12:12,707 --> 00:12:15,227 Speaker 3: eight side, because you look at the games that have 229 00:12:15,267 --> 00:12:17,267 Speaker 3: been you know, played this weekend the line I mean, 230 00:12:17,427 --> 00:12:19,147 Speaker 3: I'm not sure if you saw the Rooster's Bulldogs game 231 00:12:19,227 --> 00:12:22,507 Speaker 3: last night, Rich, but the Roosters did a job on 232 00:12:22,547 --> 00:12:25,227 Speaker 3: the Bulldogs. It's really really hard from game to game 233 00:12:25,307 --> 00:12:27,027 Speaker 3: to pick what's going to happen, isn't it. 234 00:12:27,787 --> 00:12:28,867 Speaker 7: Well, that's my point. 235 00:12:28,987 --> 00:12:31,707 Speaker 5: And there's probably not many sporting competitions in the world 236 00:12:31,867 --> 00:12:34,267 Speaker 5: so much parroting as what these in the NRL. So 237 00:12:35,187 --> 00:12:44,427 Speaker 5: if you're in our positions as coach sport, it's you know, 238 00:12:44,507 --> 00:12:48,307 Speaker 5: it makes for you know, an amazing contest. And the 239 00:12:48,347 --> 00:12:51,427 Speaker 5: finals have almost been gone, I guess in terms of 240 00:12:51,427 --> 00:12:54,667 Speaker 5: the race for the for the top four, and you know, 241 00:12:54,667 --> 00:12:56,547 Speaker 5: I think people for a while saying the top four 242 00:12:56,547 --> 00:12:58,667 Speaker 5: are done, it's got four as far from done. And 243 00:12:59,587 --> 00:13:02,427 Speaker 5: if you look at the fixtures over the last storry 244 00:13:02,427 --> 00:13:05,107 Speaker 5: over the next three week there could be some real 245 00:13:05,267 --> 00:13:08,307 Speaker 5: twists and turns to God in this competition. Yet not 246 00:13:08,347 --> 00:13:10,467 Speaker 5: only for top five but top eight as well. So 247 00:13:10,907 --> 00:13:15,587 Speaker 5: as we say for the competition, it's wonderful for our 248 00:13:15,627 --> 00:13:18,627 Speaker 5: stress levels, yeah, it's not as wonderful. 249 00:13:19,747 --> 00:13:21,267 Speaker 3: Well, I hope you can relax at least for the 250 00:13:21,267 --> 00:13:23,667 Speaker 3: rest of the weekends before you start planning the week ahead. Rich, 251 00:13:23,707 --> 00:13:25,987 Speaker 3: Thanks for your time. Has always made and well done 252 00:13:26,027 --> 00:13:26,947 Speaker 3: on the result last night. 253 00:13:27,907 --> 00:13:29,867 Speaker 5: Oh, I appreciate it, Jason, thank you mate, No. 254 00:13:29,947 --> 00:13:32,587 Speaker 3: Thank you, rich Rich, I go. They're assistant coach of 255 00:13:32,627 --> 00:13:35,907 Speaker 3: the Warriors. Look fairly pragmatic, wasn't it. We're not perfect, 256 00:13:36,267 --> 00:13:38,987 Speaker 3: we were nowhere close to it, but you get the win. Oh, 257 00:13:39,027 --> 00:13:42,547 Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten to eighty Warriors fans, let's 258 00:13:42,587 --> 00:13:46,627 Speaker 3: hear from you. Don't underestimate how much of a monkey 259 00:13:46,667 --> 00:13:48,907 Speaker 3: off the back this is. When things aren't going your way. 260 00:13:48,947 --> 00:13:54,427 Speaker 3: In any sport, sometimes you just need to win in 261 00:13:54,507 --> 00:13:59,107 Speaker 3: any fashion that you can win ugly is a tried 262 00:13:59,347 --> 00:14:04,867 Speaker 3: in true cliche in sport. Sometimes you just have to win. 263 00:14:05,027 --> 00:14:08,107 Speaker 3: It doesn't really matter how. You wake up this morning 264 00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:10,547 Speaker 3: and you look at the table and the Warriors have 265 00:14:10,627 --> 00:14:13,587 Speaker 3: the two points from last night and are sitting in fourth. 266 00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:17,147 Speaker 3: It's the same in a lot of sports. Yeah, sometimes 267 00:14:17,187 --> 00:14:21,227 Speaker 3: just needs something to go your way. Football strikers often 268 00:14:21,267 --> 00:14:23,227 Speaker 3: say if they're in a bit of a goal scoring 269 00:14:23,307 --> 00:14:25,467 Speaker 3: drought that they just need one to go on off 270 00:14:25,467 --> 00:14:27,787 Speaker 3: their backside from a yard out and they're away. Same 271 00:14:27,787 --> 00:14:29,107 Speaker 3: with cricketers you know, who are in a bit of 272 00:14:29,107 --> 00:14:31,227 Speaker 3: a trot. But i'll tell you if they can get 273 00:14:31,307 --> 00:14:33,947 Speaker 3: to thirty odd with nothing coming off the middle of 274 00:14:33,947 --> 00:14:35,387 Speaker 3: the bat you know, each just down through the slips 275 00:14:35,427 --> 00:14:38,947 Speaker 3: or whatever. That's fine, you play your way back into form. 276 00:14:40,587 --> 00:14:44,147 Speaker 3: There were concerns, weren't there during this three game losing streak, 277 00:14:44,147 --> 00:14:47,667 Speaker 3: that the Warriors might even drop out of the eight. Well, 278 00:14:47,667 --> 00:14:50,987 Speaker 3: that ain't happening now, and you look at these next 279 00:14:51,027 --> 00:14:55,467 Speaker 3: three games, the final three regular season games Titans away, 280 00:14:56,387 --> 00:15:01,507 Speaker 3: Eels at home, See Eagles away, all sides outside the 281 00:15:01,547 --> 00:15:04,947 Speaker 3: top eight. Currently all three likely to miss the eight. 282 00:15:05,667 --> 00:15:08,787 Speaker 3: The Titans definitely will, the Eels almost certainly will. The 283 00:15:08,827 --> 00:15:11,507 Speaker 3: Sea Eagles have got a chance, but I got them 284 00:15:11,547 --> 00:15:14,867 Speaker 3: missing the aid as well. So all winnable for the Warriors, 285 00:15:14,867 --> 00:15:17,107 Speaker 3: but all tricky as well for their own reasons. The 286 00:15:17,187 --> 00:15:22,027 Speaker 3: Titans have become the Warriors bogie team for some unexplainable reason. 287 00:15:24,507 --> 00:15:26,627 Speaker 3: In the last three games, that Eels have beaten the 288 00:15:26,627 --> 00:15:28,987 Speaker 3: Broncos and the Cowboys and will level with the Storm 289 00:15:29,027 --> 00:15:32,267 Speaker 3: until late in that game before losing sixteen ten. And 290 00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:35,187 Speaker 3: the Sea Eagles on the last day of their season 291 00:15:35,267 --> 00:15:38,627 Speaker 3: will be farewelling daily Cherry Evans, one of their great 292 00:15:38,867 --> 00:15:42,227 Speaker 3: great players, so there'll be plenty of emotion wrapped around 293 00:15:42,267 --> 00:15:48,467 Speaker 3: that as well, So all winnable, but all tricky and 294 00:15:48,507 --> 00:15:50,867 Speaker 3: at seventy to thirty stat though rich Agar referred to 295 00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:53,827 Speaker 3: a couple of times he was talking about the fact 296 00:15:53,867 --> 00:15:57,067 Speaker 3: that last night the Dragons for large periods had seventy 297 00:15:57,547 --> 00:16:00,987 Speaker 3: percent of the ball. That's far too much to be 298 00:16:02,427 --> 00:16:05,387 Speaker 3: that's far too much possession to be giving away and 299 00:16:05,427 --> 00:16:09,147 Speaker 3: playing without the All those stats have come back, as 300 00:16:09,227 --> 00:16:13,067 Speaker 3: rich said this morning, got a you gotta even that up. 301 00:16:13,587 --> 00:16:16,147 Speaker 3: You can't be giving any opposition seventy percent of the ball. 302 00:16:17,347 --> 00:16:20,667 Speaker 3: Lot's to work on, but a much needed win. A eight, 303 00:16:20,667 --> 00:16:23,707 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty ten arts our number. Let's kick 304 00:16:23,747 --> 00:16:24,667 Speaker 3: this around, Candy. 305 00:16:24,467 --> 00:16:28,347 Speaker 8: Lyle, you did I mate, Look they're going to win, 306 00:16:28,467 --> 00:16:31,827 Speaker 8: and good luck to them. They've done it. The middly 307 00:16:32,067 --> 00:16:34,427 Speaker 8: the other side had seventy percent of the ball, but 308 00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:37,867 Speaker 8: they're out of the side. It's also down two three 309 00:16:38,427 --> 00:16:42,707 Speaker 8: key balls, so we're out wishing to be a party 310 00:16:42,707 --> 00:16:45,987 Speaker 8: of people. I'd say they hadn't had that much. Bad 311 00:16:46,067 --> 00:16:48,347 Speaker 8: lucks of George who probably didn't you look at a 312 00:16:48,387 --> 00:16:53,587 Speaker 8: different result. Hope's certainly not a center that right side 313 00:16:53,627 --> 00:16:57,307 Speaker 8: for major concern. I'm not going to knock them too much. 314 00:16:57,347 --> 00:17:00,547 Speaker 8: I had twenty dollars down for them to win between 315 00:17:00,587 --> 00:17:03,227 Speaker 8: one and six points, so I collected one hundred and twenty. 316 00:17:04,667 --> 00:17:10,787 Speaker 8: Next week hopefully I ad Bronco Berry back into Mari mart. 317 00:17:10,987 --> 00:17:13,347 Speaker 8: It is a home game next week, don't worry it. 318 00:17:13,387 --> 00:17:16,867 Speaker 8: Maybe Southeast point three, but the Brothers will come from 319 00:17:16,907 --> 00:17:20,067 Speaker 8: far and wide, particularly out of Logan, Upper Kumra and 320 00:17:20,227 --> 00:17:24,267 Speaker 8: Simple Mars, so they won't back the support. But once 321 00:17:24,347 --> 00:17:27,347 Speaker 8: the finals begin, they're going to have to increase remarkably 322 00:17:27,467 --> 00:17:29,547 Speaker 8: if they want to be considerably. But if they can 323 00:17:29,587 --> 00:17:31,787 Speaker 8: win one semi and go out of that, I still 324 00:17:31,867 --> 00:17:34,587 Speaker 8: think the season has been a success. With the number 325 00:17:34,587 --> 00:17:38,427 Speaker 8: of injuries they've had, you can't help them. It's just 326 00:17:38,787 --> 00:17:42,467 Speaker 8: it's a brutal game. It's last night's contest proved. 327 00:17:44,587 --> 00:17:49,307 Speaker 3: Yeah, the support over there is always going to be 328 00:17:49,307 --> 00:17:51,547 Speaker 3: there while you're right. And the other salient point you 329 00:17:51,587 --> 00:17:53,387 Speaker 3: make is that they have to improve. You know, they 330 00:17:53,387 --> 00:17:55,667 Speaker 3: can't play like they did last night and expect to 331 00:17:55,707 --> 00:17:57,587 Speaker 3: do anything in the finals. At least they're finishing the 332 00:17:57,587 --> 00:17:59,867 Speaker 3: top four, they get that second chance. But I don't 333 00:17:59,867 --> 00:18:01,467 Speaker 3: think we should be relying on that. What you want 334 00:18:01,507 --> 00:18:04,347 Speaker 3: to see is an upward trajectory now over these next 335 00:18:04,387 --> 00:18:06,707 Speaker 3: three games for the for Warriors fans, I think to 336 00:18:06,707 --> 00:18:08,627 Speaker 3: feel comfortable going into the finals, there has to be 337 00:18:08,627 --> 00:18:11,427 Speaker 3: an upswing in a bunch of areas over these next 338 00:18:11,467 --> 00:18:12,187 Speaker 3: three games. 339 00:18:13,067 --> 00:18:16,867 Speaker 8: Oh definitely, because when the semi start, it's almost like 340 00:18:16,947 --> 00:18:19,827 Speaker 8: the season starts again and the intensity goes up another 341 00:18:19,907 --> 00:18:23,467 Speaker 8: couple of notches. And unfortunately, I think the Warriors maybe 342 00:18:23,507 --> 00:18:27,947 Speaker 8: playing it full till now. You know, it's one thing 343 00:18:27,987 --> 00:18:32,187 Speaker 8: I did impressed me last weight with the seventy per 344 00:18:32,227 --> 00:18:34,547 Speaker 8: cent of the ball, and they didn't leak any more 345 00:18:34,587 --> 00:18:39,467 Speaker 8: points after the first start. So yeah, the mental capacity 346 00:18:39,547 --> 00:18:42,827 Speaker 8: or the mental fortitude of that side is probably far 347 00:18:42,987 --> 00:18:49,347 Speaker 8: superior than what team Warrior teams the past. You know. Then, look, 348 00:18:49,827 --> 00:18:53,107 Speaker 8: I think twenty twenty seven probably be the year. Hopefully 349 00:18:53,147 --> 00:18:57,627 Speaker 8: they proved me wrong, But anyway, onward and up. 350 00:18:57,987 --> 00:19:01,907 Speaker 3: Good man, lol, enjoy spending your winnings. Someone said, sorry 351 00:19:01,947 --> 00:19:03,587 Speaker 3: to be corrected, but if we don't win another game, 352 00:19:03,587 --> 00:19:05,107 Speaker 3: we can drop out of the eight. Yes, so I 353 00:19:05,107 --> 00:19:08,907 Speaker 3: didn't when I said happen, I didn't mean mathematically it can't. 354 00:19:09,107 --> 00:19:11,507 Speaker 3: I can't see it happening. You're right, the Warriors are 355 00:19:11,547 --> 00:19:15,507 Speaker 3: on thirty two points, the team currently in ninth. The 356 00:19:15,547 --> 00:19:18,547 Speaker 3: Dolphins have twenty six so they could get Yeah, I 357 00:19:18,547 --> 00:19:20,627 Speaker 3: mean they could get past us that you know, Sharks 358 00:19:20,627 --> 00:19:23,427 Speaker 3: have played twenty one games, so they can and they're 359 00:19:23,467 --> 00:19:27,547 Speaker 3: on twenty eight points. You're right, mathematically, the Warriors could 360 00:19:27,947 --> 00:19:30,107 Speaker 3: fall out of the top eight and the points been 361 00:19:30,187 --> 00:19:32,947 Speaker 3: made here are points differential is worse than anybody else's 362 00:19:33,427 --> 00:19:36,387 Speaker 3: in the top eight. Conversation. I just don't see it. 363 00:19:36,867 --> 00:19:39,467 Speaker 3: I just don't see especially looking at the results that 364 00:19:39,507 --> 00:19:42,667 Speaker 3: are happening at the moment. You know, teams are beating teams, 365 00:19:42,707 --> 00:19:46,107 Speaker 3: so you think, you know, how's that happened? Was the 366 00:19:46,147 --> 00:19:50,867 Speaker 3: Roosters last night? My god, they hammered the Bulldogs. They 367 00:19:50,867 --> 00:19:54,107 Speaker 3: were so good. I thought, you know, where's this team being? 368 00:19:56,627 --> 00:19:59,907 Speaker 3: Mike says, good win pinety doesn't matter how three wins 369 00:19:59,947 --> 00:20:02,107 Speaker 3: and they're in two wins and they have a chance 370 00:20:02,507 --> 00:20:07,067 Speaker 3: because Penrith play Canberra Bulldogs and Dragons. Good on your mic. 371 00:20:07,107 --> 00:20:08,507 Speaker 3: Appreciate it, Jamie high mate? 372 00:20:09,467 --> 00:20:09,747 Speaker 6: Can they? 373 00:20:09,867 --> 00:20:10,187 Speaker 9: Jason? 374 00:20:11,147 --> 00:20:11,347 Speaker 4: Yeah? 375 00:20:11,627 --> 00:20:13,987 Speaker 10: Just funny? How is Richie? Ago was talking about the 376 00:20:13,987 --> 00:20:16,827 Speaker 10: stress levels on the coaching box. You went about the 377 00:20:16,827 --> 00:20:18,027 Speaker 10: stress levels for some of the. 378 00:20:19,747 --> 00:20:20,827 Speaker 3: How were yours mate. 379 00:20:21,747 --> 00:20:25,227 Speaker 10: Oh, just at the end, I thought it was I 380 00:20:25,267 --> 00:20:26,747 Speaker 10: thought it's going to be like the same as the 381 00:20:26,747 --> 00:20:28,067 Speaker 10: Dolphins game, same. 382 00:20:28,387 --> 00:20:30,707 Speaker 3: Same, Jamie. When they when those line breaks happened, I 383 00:20:30,707 --> 00:20:33,067 Speaker 3: felt exactly, I thought, mate, they're going in here, They're 384 00:20:33,107 --> 00:20:33,627 Speaker 3: going in here. 385 00:20:34,067 --> 00:20:37,267 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yep, And there's like obviously not for the 386 00:20:37,267 --> 00:20:40,947 Speaker 10: first time this season, but but yeah, just I guess, 387 00:20:40,987 --> 00:20:44,587 Speaker 10: just a relief that they've got the win. Yeah, yeah, 388 00:20:44,587 --> 00:20:46,067 Speaker 10: they were just sort of giving them a bit of 389 00:20:46,067 --> 00:20:48,707 Speaker 10: a rat but yeah, obviously they've got a lot of 390 00:20:49,747 --> 00:20:53,267 Speaker 10: well to do to to be you know, to have 391 00:20:53,267 --> 00:20:55,667 Speaker 10: a chance in the finals. I say, but but you know, 392 00:20:55,787 --> 00:20:58,747 Speaker 10: it's just at least it gets the confidence moves back 393 00:20:58,827 --> 00:20:59,187 Speaker 10: up again. 394 00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:01,507 Speaker 3: And when it went like that, yeah, just to win 395 00:21:01,627 --> 00:21:03,707 Speaker 3: a Jamie. You know, I think when you when you 396 00:21:03,747 --> 00:21:05,867 Speaker 3: got and it wasn't like it was a long losing streak. 397 00:21:05,907 --> 00:21:07,787 Speaker 3: Three games is not, you know, it's not lost ten 398 00:21:07,827 --> 00:21:10,267 Speaker 3: in a row. But you must start to wonder where 399 00:21:10,267 --> 00:21:12,187 Speaker 3: the next one is coming from, and you just take 400 00:21:12,227 --> 00:21:15,107 Speaker 3: whatever you can get you honestly, you know, just take 401 00:21:15,187 --> 00:21:17,387 Speaker 3: whatever you can get in like I say, they wake 402 00:21:17,427 --> 00:21:19,587 Speaker 3: up this morning.

I know that 476 00:24:45,107 --> 00:24:47,307 Speaker 9: was an indigenous realm. It was quite emotional in the 477 00:24:47,387 --> 00:24:51,387 Speaker 9: stadium with you know, the ceremony at the start, and 478 00:24:51,747 --> 00:24:55,067 Speaker 9: you know, I was there and I saw the dragons 479 00:24:55,067 --> 00:24:58,347 Speaker 9: come in to the stadium and then I just you 480 00:24:58,387 --> 00:25:00,187 Speaker 9: could just tell that they were that they were up 481 00:25:00,187 --> 00:25:03,227 Speaker 9: for last night, that they were they really wanted that game. 482 00:25:03,267 --> 00:25:06,267 Speaker 9: You know, their coach would just resigned get the villains 483 00:25:06,347 --> 00:25:10,187 Speaker 9: one hundred, two hundred and fiftieth games.

What does you 497 00:25:43,067 --> 00:25:45,627 Speaker 3: got to tell you about their ability to improve? 498 00:25:47,227 --> 00:25:51,507 Speaker 9: Well, I wouldn't say that there they're games that we 499 00:25:52,147 --> 00:25:53,987 Speaker 9: we should win, but they are gettable games, you know, 500 00:25:54,107 --> 00:25:57,467 Speaker 9: the tythons that eels and manly. But this competition is 501 00:25:57,547 --> 00:26:00,987 Speaker 9: so so tough this year, you know you. I mean, 502 00:26:00,987 --> 00:26:03,267 Speaker 9: the Dragons tipped up the Raiders a couple of weeks ago, 503 00:26:03,307 --> 00:26:06,027 Speaker 9: and it's just such a tough competition. So m ma, 504 00:26:06,107 --> 00:26:09,347 Speaker 9: got feelings is that we you know, we'll we'll we'll 505 00:26:09,347 --> 00:26:11,587 Speaker 9: probably win one out of the next three hopefully too 506 00:26:11,667 --> 00:26:16,587 Speaker 9: and and and you know we'll definitely make the eights. 507 00:26:17,267 --> 00:26:21,307 Speaker 9: But yeah, I'm just just a bit worried. I mean, 508 00:26:21,307 --> 00:26:23,187 Speaker 9: I think, thank goodness that we do here some troops 509 00:26:23,227 --> 00:26:24,987 Speaker 9: coming back, and there has been one hell of a year, 510 00:26:25,147 --> 00:26:29,027 Speaker 9: you know for injury. I saw Blue Metcalf last night 511 00:26:29,107 --> 00:26:32,547 Speaker 9: hobbling around, and you know, Jubi miss him, and Mitch 512 00:26:32,627 --> 00:26:33,867 Speaker 9: Barnett obviously he's out. 513 00:26:33,987 --> 00:26:35,187 Speaker 10: So but. 514 00:26:37,267 --> 00:26:39,827 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's it's gonna be tough, mate, but you 515 00:26:39,907 --> 00:26:41,507 Speaker 9: know that's why we love our wars. 516 00:26:41,547 --> 00:26:41,747 Speaker 6: Mate. 517 00:26:41,787 --> 00:26:43,667 Speaker 9: You know it's a roller coaster, mate. We go up 518 00:26:43,707 --> 00:26:45,907 Speaker 9: and we go down and undeceived for the ride. 519 00:26:47,467 --> 00:26:48,987 Speaker 3: And I know you're the type of bloke who never 520 00:26:49,107 --> 00:26:52,587 Speaker 3: jumps off, Paul, You never ever jump off, Matey, good 521 00:26:52,627 --> 00:26:53,907 Speaker 3: on you man. I'm glad you got the chance to 522 00:26:53,947 --> 00:26:56,147 Speaker 3: sing the song last night. And yeah, here's to a 523 00:26:56,587 --> 00:26:59,787 Speaker 3: here's here's to an upswing and performance over the next 524 00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:04,587 Speaker 3: three weeks. Great, there's always good boys. See you're saying 525 00:27:05,347 --> 00:27:09,987 Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, you're absolutely dreaming business texts. 526 00:27:10,067 --> 00:27:13,387 Speaker 3: They're so inconsistent. They are no chance. It depends on 527 00:27:13,467 --> 00:27:16,507 Speaker 3: what you're saying. What they've got a chance of? Okay, 528 00:27:16,867 --> 00:27:19,667 Speaker 3: let's break this down. Will they make the eight? I 529 00:27:19,747 --> 00:27:24,107 Speaker 3: think almost certainly now they will. There would have to 530 00:27:24,187 --> 00:27:27,587 Speaker 3: be a combination of results, which is not the most 531 00:27:27,747 --> 00:27:29,707 Speaker 3: likely scenario for them to fall out of the eight. 532 00:27:29,867 --> 00:27:31,867 Speaker 3: They'd have to lose their last three games. Look, that 533 00:27:32,467 --> 00:27:35,467 Speaker 3: could happen, they lost the last three, but I don't 534 00:27:35,507 --> 00:27:38,547 Speaker 3: see it happening. And even if they did lose the 535 00:27:38,627 --> 00:27:40,347 Speaker 3: last three games, a bunch of teams below them would 536 00:27:40,347 --> 00:27:42,507 Speaker 3: have to win their last three. It just doesn't seem 537 00:27:42,507 --> 00:27:47,587 Speaker 3: the most likely scenario. So the Warriors will almost certainly 538 00:27:47,707 --> 00:27:49,787 Speaker 3: be in the top eight when you consider that last 539 00:27:49,867 --> 00:27:53,227 Speaker 3: year they were what thirteenth. I've said often on the 540 00:27:53,267 --> 00:27:56,427 Speaker 3: show that most Warriors fans, if you said to them, 541 00:27:56,547 --> 00:27:59,187 Speaker 3: you'll make the top eight in twenty twenty five, would 542 00:27:59,227 --> 00:28:01,787 Speaker 3: have taken that in a heartbeat. They would have said, yep, 543 00:28:01,907 --> 00:28:06,787 Speaker 3: I'll take that. Then we start talking about the top four, 544 00:28:08,347 --> 00:28:10,027 Speaker 3: and the reason the top four is even in the 545 00:28:10,067 --> 00:28:13,467 Speaker 3: conversation is because that's where the Warriors have lived for 546 00:28:13,587 --> 00:28:16,507 Speaker 3: a large part of the season, off the back of 547 00:28:16,547 --> 00:28:20,867 Speaker 3: a once we got home from Vegas, a really good start, 548 00:28:21,307 --> 00:28:23,867 Speaker 3: and some solid performances. Through the middle of the season, 549 00:28:25,547 --> 00:28:28,067 Speaker 3: they lived largely in the top four, and so that 550 00:28:28,187 --> 00:28:32,147 Speaker 3: gives fans and observers belief that this is what this 551 00:28:32,307 --> 00:28:38,107 Speaker 3: team is, a top four proposition. And so naturally, when 552 00:28:39,427 --> 00:28:42,267 Speaker 3: the last three weeks happened and we started to teeter 553 00:28:42,827 --> 00:28:44,827 Speaker 3: a little bit and then fell out of the top four, 554 00:28:45,387 --> 00:28:48,427 Speaker 3: there's natural disappointment. We forget the fact that we would 555 00:28:48,427 --> 00:28:51,587 Speaker 3: have been delighted with top eight, and we're now That 556 00:28:51,867 --> 00:28:56,587 Speaker 3: emotion is replaced by being disappointed that we're not in 557 00:28:56,707 --> 00:29:00,027 Speaker 3: the top four anymore. And then you get to last night. 558 00:29:01,347 --> 00:29:04,067 Speaker 3: And as I've said, at the risk of repeating myself, 559 00:29:04,067 --> 00:29:06,747 Speaker 3: which I know I do a lot, they look at 560 00:29:06,747 --> 00:29:10,267 Speaker 3: the table and the Warriors are fourth. They're a point 561 00:29:10,307 --> 00:29:13,507 Speaker 3: ahead of Penrith. If they win their last three games 562 00:29:13,547 --> 00:29:15,787 Speaker 3: the Warriors, they will finish in the top four. That 563 00:29:15,987 --> 00:29:21,347 Speaker 3: is mathematical fact. The Panthers have to play the Raiders 564 00:29:21,547 --> 00:29:25,787 Speaker 3: next week, then the Bulldogs and then the Dragons to finish. 565 00:29:27,427 --> 00:29:31,987 Speaker 3: So Raiders and Bulldogs the teams that are currently first 566 00:29:32,107 --> 00:29:35,267 Speaker 3: and third. The Panthers are playing well and up until 567 00:29:35,347 --> 00:29:37,787 Speaker 3: the other night, where depending on which way you look 568 00:29:37,787 --> 00:29:39,427 Speaker 3: at it, they were a little bit stiff to lose 569 00:29:39,467 --> 00:29:41,347 Speaker 3: to the Storm and Golden Point, but they won nine 570 00:29:41,387 --> 00:29:46,467 Speaker 3: in a row, the Panthers of old. But they might 571 00:29:46,587 --> 00:29:49,067 Speaker 3: not beat the Raiders, they might not beat the Bulldogs. 572 00:29:50,827 --> 00:29:53,307 Speaker 3: The Warriors have three WINNA ball games. Just got to 573 00:29:53,347 --> 00:29:55,827 Speaker 3: get the job done. Just got to get the job done. 574 00:29:55,867 --> 00:29:58,027 Speaker 3: Carlos is pining. No team who has ended up with 575 00:29:58,147 --> 00:30:00,987 Speaker 3: thirty two points at the end of a season has 576 00:30:01,067 --> 00:30:06,227 Speaker 3: missed the top eight. For me, the Warriors finished fourth 577 00:30:07,107 --> 00:30:10,187 Speaker 3: after last night's result. They didn't deserve to win it, 578 00:30:10,307 --> 00:30:13,867 Speaker 3: but they did. Rather than games they should have won 579 00:30:13,907 --> 00:30:16,547 Speaker 3: in the past but didn't go the Warriors. It cart 580 00:30:16,627 --> 00:30:19,227 Speaker 3: us another really interesting point that you know last year 581 00:30:19,347 --> 00:30:20,947 Speaker 3: they lost game. How many games do they lose last 582 00:30:21,027 --> 00:30:24,147 Speaker 3: year by single digit margins? They go, Man, if only 583 00:30:24,227 --> 00:30:27,787 Speaker 3: if only they done that? Yes, we have to look 584 00:30:27,827 --> 00:30:32,507 Speaker 3: deeper than the scoreboard. We do, and Paul is always 585 00:30:32,547 --> 00:30:35,507 Speaker 3: a very good compass on that. I enjoy his calls 586 00:30:35,547 --> 00:30:40,027 Speaker 3: immensely because he always adds plenty in terms of a 587 00:30:40,107 --> 00:30:42,227 Speaker 3: great balance between being a fan but also being a 588 00:30:42,307 --> 00:30:46,667 Speaker 3: critical eye on the game. And of course the Warriors 589 00:30:46,667 --> 00:30:49,187 Speaker 3: play like that in a finals game, they won't win 590 00:30:49,227 --> 00:30:51,067 Speaker 3: the finals game. I think it's as simple as that. 591 00:30:54,387 --> 00:30:57,667 Speaker 3: Piney top four. Very likely Panthers have a very tough 592 00:30:57,747 --> 00:31:00,387 Speaker 3: run home, says James. With the Broncos run home and injuries, 593 00:31:01,067 --> 00:31:05,507 Speaker 3: they may miss the eight. The Warriors were lucky to 594 00:31:05,547 --> 00:31:09,387 Speaker 3: win last night. I said last week they peaked at 595 00:31:09,427 --> 00:31:11,667 Speaker 3: the wrong end of the season. Still hold that view. See, 596 00:31:11,707 --> 00:31:13,707 Speaker 3: I'm not sure that you can only peak once during 597 00:31:13,747 --> 00:31:16,107 Speaker 3: a season either. I'm not sure that that's true either. 598 00:31:16,827 --> 00:31:20,227 Speaker 3: A season of this length has peaks and troughs plural. 599 00:31:22,227 --> 00:31:24,147 Speaker 3: If they win their last three games, that will mean 600 00:31:24,187 --> 00:31:27,067 Speaker 3: they've won their last four going into finals. And if 601 00:31:27,107 --> 00:31:30,267 Speaker 3: you believe in momentum, if you believe that momentum is 602 00:31:30,307 --> 00:31:31,987 Speaker 3: a thing, then they would have it. 603 00:31:35,267 --> 00:31:35,467 Speaker 6: Jose. 604 00:31:35,467 --> 00:31:37,467 Speaker 3: She keeps saying that the Rugby Championship starts at nine 605 00:31:37,507 --> 00:31:39,587 Speaker 3: o'clock tomorrow morning. It's actually ten past three with a 606 00:31:39,627 --> 00:31:43,147 Speaker 3: box against Australia. Sorry, I should have I did know that. 607 00:31:43,787 --> 00:31:46,427 Speaker 3: I did know that, and so says Jason. Are you 608 00:31:46,507 --> 00:31:50,027 Speaker 3: going to mention the Stags the amazing comeback by the 609 00:31:50,147 --> 00:31:55,307 Speaker 3: Stags last night? Southland's gritty performance twenty two nil down 610 00:31:55,507 --> 00:31:59,507 Speaker 3: at halftime and then twenty nine unanswered points in their 611 00:31:59,547 --> 00:32:04,107 Speaker 3: second half. Stag supporters turning out in freezing temperatures deserve 612 00:32:04,227 --> 00:32:06,707 Speaker 3: the win as well as the guys makeing up the 613 00:32:06,747 --> 00:32:09,467 Speaker 3: Stag's team. A great result, got on your sue, I 614 00:32:09,507 --> 00:32:16,467 Speaker 3: did see that, actually, I thought that was remarkable, remarkable Piney. 615 00:32:16,507 --> 00:32:19,547 Speaker 3: I reckon, we'll scrape into fourth then be written off 616 00:32:19,587 --> 00:32:23,187 Speaker 3: by the Australian press, says Jamie. Then will surprise the 617 00:32:23,307 --> 00:32:25,907 Speaker 3: Raiders in the first semi and we'll see a rookie 618 00:32:25,947 --> 00:32:29,107 Speaker 3: Stewart explosion at the best conference. We may well do 619 00:32:29,547 --> 00:32:33,627 Speaker 3: just before we go to a break. Tomorrow is Auckland 620 00:32:33,707 --> 00:32:36,747 Speaker 3: Rugby League's Fox Premiere Final. I'm told at Trust Arena 621 00:32:36,787 --> 00:32:40,227 Speaker 3: two thirty. The women's final actually is at twelve fifteen. 622 00:32:41,747 --> 00:32:46,747 Speaker 3: That's Mount Albert against Pappacutta and the men's final Mount 623 00:32:46,787 --> 00:32:51,587 Speaker 3: Albert against Otahohu.

We've come 662 00:35:10,987 --> 00:35:13,507 Speaker 14: close over the last few years, so to actually get 663 00:35:13,547 --> 00:35:15,427 Speaker 14: the cherry on the top was great. 664 00:35:15,787 --> 00:35:18,987 Speaker 3: You obviously have a wide brief in terms of the 665 00:35:19,067 --> 00:35:22,427 Speaker 3: community game in your region. The elite part of it 666 00:35:22,547 --> 00:35:25,907 Speaker 3: is only part of it. But as you say, is 667 00:35:25,947 --> 00:35:27,707 Speaker 3: it like a cherry on top? But is it also 668 00:35:28,307 --> 00:35:30,707 Speaker 3: I guess an aspirational pathway for some of the younger 669 00:35:30,787 --> 00:35:32,987 Speaker 3: players in the region, as. 670 00:35:32,907 --> 00:35:34,787 Speaker 14: We're trying to make a pathway right through and we 671 00:35:34,907 --> 00:35:36,947 Speaker 14: still run under fourteen's all the way up to the 672 00:35:37,027 --> 00:35:40,107 Speaker 14: Swamp Foxes, including on the girls side as well, so 673 00:35:40,227 --> 00:35:42,027 Speaker 14: we do see it as a pathway. It's not by 674 00:35:42,067 --> 00:35:45,187 Speaker 14: any means perfect yet, but we're making good stripes towards it. 675 00:35:45,627 --> 00:35:48,187 Speaker 14: Our growth over the last couple of years has allowed 676 00:35:48,267 --> 00:35:52,027 Speaker 14: us to have some really good results. We've taken our 677 00:35:52,147 --> 00:35:54,667 Speaker 14: wit and ratio from twenty six to fifty seven over 678 00:35:54,707 --> 00:35:57,067 Speaker 14: our other rep teams, So as say they're all trying 679 00:35:57,107 --> 00:35:58,947 Speaker 14: to strive to what the Swamp Foxes are making. 680 00:35:58,827 --> 00:35:59,227 Speaker 10: At the moment. 681 00:35:59,467 --> 00:36:02,747 Speaker 3: You're reappointed your coaches David Harrison and Joe Murray after 682 00:36:02,907 --> 00:36:06,747 Speaker 3: last year's success. I guess that wasn't a tough decision 683 00:36:06,787 --> 00:36:08,987 Speaker 3: to make. Have you retained most of your players as well? 684 00:36:10,667 --> 00:36:12,627 Speaker 14: No sort of coaches And I say just a quick 685 00:36:12,707 --> 00:36:15,187 Speaker 14: mentioned for Harry who's also the New Zealand Heartland coach 686 00:36:15,547 --> 00:36:18,067 Speaker 14: this year and nixt which is great for him. But yeah, 687 00:36:18,107 --> 00:36:21,267 Speaker 14: those two guys, they sort of don't get the accolades 688 00:36:21,347 --> 00:36:24,347 Speaker 14: that I think they should get because they do have 689 00:36:24,467 --> 00:36:28,947 Speaker 14: achieved a lot over several years. But we haven't held 690 00:36:29,067 --> 00:36:31,747 Speaker 14: a lot of players from last year. Really. I think 691 00:36:31,787 --> 00:36:34,507 Speaker 14: there's eleven new people into our squad, But I mean 692 00:36:34,667 --> 00:36:36,587 Speaker 14: a challenge is like you think everybody's in the same 693 00:36:36,667 --> 00:36:39,627 Speaker 14: boat right through the whole whole Heartland. A good thing 694 00:36:39,707 --> 00:36:41,987 Speaker 14: for us is this five Swamp fox has playing in 695 00:36:42,027 --> 00:36:45,067 Speaker 14: the NPC over the last two years. So again, it's 696 00:36:45,107 --> 00:36:46,547 Speaker 14: got to be a good time for parplays, isn't it. 697 00:36:46,707 --> 00:36:46,867 Speaker 6: You know? 698 00:36:46,947 --> 00:36:48,827 Speaker 3: And I guess that's a that's a really good way 699 00:36:48,867 --> 00:36:50,867 Speaker 3: of looking at it. Do you do you take pride 700 00:36:50,907 --> 00:36:52,987 Speaker 3: in the fact that that players, if they are to 701 00:36:53,067 --> 00:36:56,307 Speaker 3: leave teams Valley for an NPC side, for example. That's 702 00:36:56,307 --> 00:36:58,987 Speaker 3: a feather in your cap rather than a blow to you. 703 00:37:00,267 --> 00:37:03,867 Speaker 14: Definitely, it's we're all about giving players opportunities and if 704 00:37:03,867 --> 00:37:06,067 Speaker 14: an opportunity comes along at the higher level, then it's 705 00:37:06,107 --> 00:37:09,147 Speaker 14: got a I take that approach right through from our 706 00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:11,827 Speaker 14: schools as well. If we've got a school kid that's 707 00:37:11,827 --> 00:37:13,427 Speaker 14: going to get a better opportunity in one of the 708 00:37:13,467 --> 00:37:15,467 Speaker 14: biggest cities, then that's got to be a win for us, 709 00:37:15,707 --> 00:37:18,187 Speaker 14: And if we can keep the pipeline going, then it's 710 00:37:18,227 --> 00:37:19,107 Speaker 14: got to be good for the valley. 711 00:37:19,187 --> 00:37:20,867 Speaker 3: I guess for the coaches as well, that must be 712 00:37:20,947 --> 00:37:23,547 Speaker 3: quite the challenge, Scott, because you know, if you've got 713 00:37:23,547 --> 00:37:25,787 Speaker 3: the same bunch of players coming back, you can I 714 00:37:25,827 --> 00:37:28,467 Speaker 3: guess in some regards lock and load what works so 715 00:37:28,507 --> 00:37:31,027 Speaker 3: well last season. So so your coaches, I guess have 716 00:37:31,627 --> 00:37:34,907 Speaker 3: their own challenge of reintegrating or integrating would you say 717 00:37:34,947 --> 00:37:36,427 Speaker 3: eleven new faces into the team? 718 00:37:37,267 --> 00:37:40,587 Speaker 14: Absolutely, and I think we showed that and then we 719 00:37:40,707 --> 00:37:44,027 Speaker 14: checked another couple of curveballs. Everybody saw the difference between 720 00:37:44,067 --> 00:37:46,827 Speaker 14: professional rugby and amateur rugby with our ninety seven nil 721 00:37:46,907 --> 00:37:50,147 Speaker 14: against the Nake and the Shield challenge, great experience, but 722 00:37:50,227 --> 00:37:52,787 Speaker 14: it just shows the gap between the two levels. And 723 00:37:52,867 --> 00:37:55,467 Speaker 14: then we played a very strong Harlequin's team and why 724 00:37:55,547 --> 00:37:58,867 Speaker 14: kat To have taken their development strong as well. So yeah, 725 00:37:58,867 --> 00:38:00,947 Speaker 14: I hated a lot of challenges out but again, like 726 00:38:01,027 --> 00:38:03,507 Speaker 14: I said earlier, challenges that are good for any squads. 727 00:38:03,827 --> 00:38:06,027 Speaker 3: You're in why Heat today. You've also got home games 728 00:38:06,107 --> 00:38:09,427 Speaker 3: in the Ottaha, Coramandel and Paidoa. Is it always your 729 00:38:09,467 --> 00:38:12,787 Speaker 3: intent to share the home games around It is. 730 00:38:12,907 --> 00:38:14,427 Speaker 14: We don't have an actual home and we don't have 731 00:38:14,467 --> 00:38:17,467 Speaker 14: a stadium in the valley, so I challenged my staff 732 00:38:17,467 --> 00:38:20,307 Speaker 14: and we only run it with four staff to take 733 00:38:20,347 --> 00:38:22,867 Speaker 14: our game to the community. As long as we get 734 00:38:22,867 --> 00:38:24,587 Speaker 14: the buy in from the clubs, it is great. Like 735 00:38:24,867 --> 00:38:28,267 Speaker 14: we're in Wahi today and we've got multiple volunteers all 736 00:38:28,347 --> 00:38:30,347 Speaker 14: helping us make this day come alive. 737 00:38:30,507 --> 00:38:31,307 Speaker 6: So it is. 738 00:38:31,387 --> 00:38:33,627 Speaker 14: We've got Siadraha and they've had a few games and 739 00:38:33,627 --> 00:38:35,947 Speaker 14: obviously the Meads Cup final was a success for them. 740 00:38:36,227 --> 00:38:38,467 Speaker 14: But we're also going up to Coramandel, which is going 741 00:38:38,547 --> 00:38:41,067 Speaker 14: to be great. Haven't taken a game up there, but 742 00:38:41,147 --> 00:38:42,867 Speaker 14: we're taking the East Coast up there in a few 743 00:38:42,907 --> 00:38:45,307 Speaker 14: weeks time. So between that and then coming back to 744 00:38:45,387 --> 00:38:48,747 Speaker 14: Pyroll for our last home game this season. So yeah, 745 00:38:48,987 --> 00:38:51,267 Speaker 14: it is a challenge for us, but again we like 746 00:38:51,387 --> 00:38:53,267 Speaker 14: these sort of things and coming out and getting amongst 747 00:38:53,307 --> 00:38:54,427 Speaker 14: it is great for us. 748 00:38:54,627 --> 00:38:57,827 Speaker 3: And how would you describe the overall health of the 749 00:38:57,907 --> 00:38:59,907 Speaker 3: grassroots game of rugby in your region? 750 00:39:01,587 --> 00:39:03,947 Speaker 14: We're doing really well. There is a lot of negative 751 00:39:03,947 --> 00:39:05,667 Speaker 14: talk and if you if you only listen to the 752 00:39:05,987 --> 00:39:08,547 Speaker 14: to the me and things going on, rugby's in a 753 00:39:08,587 --> 00:39:11,067 Speaker 14: bad way. But if you look at our stats, we're 754 00:39:11,107 --> 00:39:13,987 Speaker 14: actually going the other way. We don't have any statistics 755 00:39:14,027 --> 00:39:16,907 Speaker 14: where we're going backwards. A couple of platawed off and 756 00:39:16,947 --> 00:39:19,867 Speaker 14: the juniors, but everything else is rising and including a 757 00:39:19,947 --> 00:39:23,027 Speaker 14: massive increase in our women's rugby, so we are going well. 758 00:39:23,427 --> 00:39:26,227 Speaker 14: We're trying to coach our coaches, which obviously is going 759 00:39:26,267 --> 00:39:28,627 Speaker 14: to take a lot of pressure off a lot of 760 00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:30,427 Speaker 14: the staff and stuff like that because we have more 761 00:39:30,467 --> 00:39:32,707 Speaker 14: and more helpers. But now we're really happy with the 762 00:39:32,747 --> 00:39:33,627 Speaker 14: growth in the valley. 763 00:39:33,947 --> 00:39:35,427 Speaker 3: I remember you were coaching for a while. Do you 764 00:39:35,547 --> 00:39:35,827 Speaker 3: miss it? 765 00:39:36,987 --> 00:39:37,147 Speaker 11: Ah? 766 00:39:37,307 --> 00:39:43,147 Speaker 14: Yeah, I do, as long as my board aren't listening. 767 00:39:43,227 --> 00:39:43,387 Speaker 6: Here. 768 00:39:43,707 --> 00:39:45,467 Speaker 14: They challenged me to get off the grass all the 769 00:39:45,547 --> 00:39:47,707 Speaker 14: time and just stay in the office. I do really 770 00:39:47,747 --> 00:39:50,427 Speaker 14: struggle with that, but no, if you can get the balance. 771 00:39:50,827 --> 00:39:53,067 Speaker 14: I do really miss it. I miss the camaraderie of 772 00:39:53,107 --> 00:39:55,347 Speaker 14: the boys and because you're not this day and age, 773 00:39:55,387 --> 00:39:58,027 Speaker 14: especially in grassroots, you're not just a coach. You're even 774 00:39:58,067 --> 00:40:00,947 Speaker 14: your mentor some to your dad figure. There's a lot 775 00:40:00,987 --> 00:40:02,667 Speaker 14: more to it than just coaching rugby these days. 776 00:40:02,787 --> 00:40:05,147 Speaker 3: Good Man Scott, Well, it sounds like TAM's Valley are 777 00:40:05,347 --> 00:40:07,427 Speaker 3: very safe hands excited season ahead for you.

Just on the 849 00:44:06,947 --> 00:44:10,267 Speaker 3: show now a lah Ugo, thanks for joining us. How 850 00:44:10,307 --> 00:44:13,227 Speaker 3: confident do you feel ahead of the first taste against 851 00:44:13,227 --> 00:44:14,467 Speaker 3: the All Blacks in court Doba? 852 00:44:16,227 --> 00:44:20,587 Speaker 16: Hello, Hello to everybody there in New Zealand and my 853 00:44:21,227 --> 00:44:24,307 Speaker 16: old friends there in New Zealand. I'm always messing your 854 00:44:24,387 --> 00:44:27,427 Speaker 16: country and looking forward to go back there. 855 00:44:27,787 --> 00:44:32,227 Speaker 17: But we are very happy to welcome the Old Blacks 856 00:44:32,307 --> 00:44:38,427 Speaker 17: in Argentina. You know, we are always optimistic when the 857 00:44:39,227 --> 00:44:45,027 Speaker 17: when the Pumas are playing, though we know how powerful 858 00:44:45,067 --> 00:44:49,107 Speaker 17: the Old Blacks are, but we all wait in the 859 00:44:49,227 --> 00:44:54,067 Speaker 17: match with a lot of expectation and we'll see what happened. 860 00:44:54,667 --> 00:44:57,187 Speaker 3: For a long time, of course, the poemers couldn't beat 861 00:44:57,227 --> 00:45:00,307 Speaker 3: the All Blacks, but that one three of the last teen, 862 00:45:00,907 --> 00:45:03,507 Speaker 3: is there more belief now that they can match up 863 00:45:03,507 --> 00:45:04,227 Speaker 3: with the All Blacks. 864 00:45:06,587 --> 00:45:10,507 Speaker 17: Well, you know when when you bid them once you 865 00:45:10,667 --> 00:45:15,547 Speaker 17: think you can make them more times. But anyway, we 866 00:45:15,787 --> 00:45:19,067 Speaker 17: have to be realistic and we know about how powerful 867 00:45:19,147 --> 00:45:23,107 Speaker 17: the Old Blacks are, So when you got a team 868 00:45:23,227 --> 00:45:28,467 Speaker 17: playing with a Puma jersey, anything can happen, especially when 869 00:45:28,547 --> 00:45:31,867 Speaker 17: they are playing here in Argentina. They are playing in Cordova, 870 00:45:32,027 --> 00:45:35,267 Speaker 17: which is going to be a very special occasion for 871 00:45:35,427 --> 00:45:41,147 Speaker 17: the people here in the province, so we are all optimistic. 872 00:45:41,307 --> 00:45:43,627 Speaker 17: I think the main thing will be to have a 873 00:45:44,427 --> 00:45:49,507 Speaker 17: a good match and a good performance by by both teams. 874 00:45:50,307 --> 00:45:52,627 Speaker 3: The poem has beat the British and Irish Lions in 875 00:45:52,827 --> 00:45:56,747 Speaker 3: June and then had two losses to England in July. 876 00:45:57,387 --> 00:46:00,627 Speaker 3: What did you make ug of their performances and those matches. 877 00:46:03,147 --> 00:46:05,667 Speaker 17: It's always good to have a win like the one 878 00:46:05,747 --> 00:46:08,787 Speaker 17: we have again is the Lions, but it's very difficult 879 00:46:08,867 --> 00:46:12,307 Speaker 17: to have to performance in the to have a performance 880 00:46:12,467 --> 00:46:15,507 Speaker 17: the same way then when you have a big win. 881 00:46:16,507 --> 00:46:20,627 Speaker 17: But anyway, you know, this is a completely different game 882 00:46:20,707 --> 00:46:25,507 Speaker 17: from the one I play. It's all it's a professional game. 883 00:46:26,187 --> 00:46:28,907 Speaker 17: They are all the time thinking in the game and 884 00:46:29,267 --> 00:46:32,827 Speaker 17: making analysis on the games of how they must play, 885 00:46:33,707 --> 00:46:37,347 Speaker 17: and I'm sure they will try their best in this occasion. 886 00:46:37,987 --> 00:46:41,147 Speaker 17: But anyway, the All Blacks are making a big impact 887 00:46:41,227 --> 00:46:44,667 Speaker 17: here in Argentina, especially in Buenos Aires. The people are 888 00:46:44,827 --> 00:46:48,587 Speaker 17: very keen of having them here. They've been to a 889 00:46:48,747 --> 00:46:53,707 Speaker 17: soccer game the last weekend and I think they are 890 00:46:53,867 --> 00:46:59,387 Speaker 17: very well welcome in Argentina and we give them a 891 00:46:59,507 --> 00:47:03,227 Speaker 17: warm welcome. So we will see. It's going to be 892 00:47:03,307 --> 00:47:05,747 Speaker 17: a very interesting game to see with the. 893 00:47:05,787 --> 00:47:09,907 Speaker 3: All Blacks one of your favorite opponents to play against, Hugo, 894 00:47:14,307 --> 00:47:15,547 Speaker 3: you know, it's. 895 00:47:15,467 --> 00:47:18,707 Speaker 17: Always good to play against. When you're young and you 896 00:47:18,787 --> 00:47:21,787 Speaker 17: are playing for your country, you always want to play 897 00:47:21,827 --> 00:47:22,267 Speaker 17: against the. 898 00:47:22,347 --> 00:47:23,947 Speaker 4: Best, and. 899 00:47:25,467 --> 00:47:28,307 Speaker 17: We were always looking forward to face the Old Blacks 900 00:47:28,667 --> 00:47:33,467 Speaker 17: in New Zealand or in Argentina. So I think that 901 00:47:33,667 --> 00:47:39,987 Speaker 17: feeling never changed for a Puma. It's always very special 902 00:47:40,107 --> 00:47:44,987 Speaker 17: to play against a team that has been world champions, 903 00:47:45,147 --> 00:47:51,827 Speaker 17: and you know how powerful and popular the Old Blacks 904 00:47:51,867 --> 00:47:53,747 Speaker 17: are around the rugby world. 905 00:47:53,907 --> 00:47:58,027 Speaker 3: Now that famous taste in nineteen eighty five when you 906 00:47:58,187 --> 00:48:01,707 Speaker 3: kicked all twenty one points in the twenty one Old draw, 907 00:48:02,267 --> 00:48:04,147 Speaker 3: What do you remember most about that game? 908 00:48:06,627 --> 00:48:10,747 Speaker 17: I remember that we finished very close to the thing 909 00:48:10,907 --> 00:48:13,987 Speaker 17: goal of the All Blacks and we were very close 910 00:48:14,067 --> 00:48:17,747 Speaker 17: to bid them. But anyway, for me, it was an 911 00:48:17,907 --> 00:48:20,707 Speaker 17: unbelievable experience that I will never forget. 912 00:48:21,787 --> 00:48:23,987 Speaker 3: Who were some of the players in the All Black 913 00:48:24,067 --> 00:48:28,027 Speaker 3: jersey who it was most memorable for you to play against? 914 00:48:30,187 --> 00:48:36,827 Speaker 17: Well, there were many, many good and great players and 915 00:48:37,507 --> 00:48:40,587 Speaker 17: I have the opportunity to play with them and to 916 00:48:40,667 --> 00:48:46,147 Speaker 17: play against them. I wouldn't say one David Pirk was one, 917 00:48:46,667 --> 00:48:50,827 Speaker 17: Dave Loveridge was another one, and there were many. I mean, 918 00:48:50,947 --> 00:48:53,467 Speaker 17: if I give you a name, I will not be 919 00:48:54,267 --> 00:49:00,667 Speaker 17: really How can I tell? I will not be really fair? 920 00:49:02,387 --> 00:49:06,587 Speaker 17: So so I think it was a pleasure to play 921 00:49:06,627 --> 00:49:07,667 Speaker 17: against and with them. 922 00:49:07,907 --> 00:49:12,547 Speaker 3: Anyway, what sort of style are Argentina playing right now? 923 00:49:12,987 --> 00:49:15,587 Speaker 3: And do you like the style of rugby dire playing? 924 00:49:18,347 --> 00:49:21,707 Speaker 18: I think I don't know a lot about the rugby 925 00:49:21,747 --> 00:49:25,067 Speaker 18: they play today because there's been a lot of analysis, 926 00:49:25,147 --> 00:49:27,987 Speaker 18: a lot of information that we don't have when we 927 00:49:28,187 --> 00:49:29,187 Speaker 18: used to play rugby. 928 00:49:30,467 --> 00:49:34,147 Speaker 17: And I think that's in the culture of every country. 929 00:49:34,307 --> 00:49:37,227 Speaker 17: I mean, we will never play like the All Blacks 930 00:49:37,387 --> 00:49:40,507 Speaker 17: because we are a different culture. We are Latins. We 931 00:49:40,627 --> 00:49:45,307 Speaker 17: will probably try to play more like the French. But anyway, 932 00:49:45,427 --> 00:49:47,987 Speaker 17: the rugby that I like is to keep the ball 933 00:49:48,067 --> 00:49:52,067 Speaker 17: alive and to run the ball, and to play a 934 00:49:52,387 --> 00:49:54,947 Speaker 17: fifteen man rugby, an open rugby. 935 00:49:55,027 --> 00:49:57,787 Speaker 3: Now, yes, and I remember you playing that way you 936 00:49:57,987 --> 00:50:01,827 Speaker 3: go and everybody just loved watching it. Do you think 937 00:50:02,387 --> 00:50:05,587 Speaker 3: these days there's perhaps a bit too much structure, a 938 00:50:05,667 --> 00:50:08,427 Speaker 3: bit too much analysis in the game of rugby? 939 00:50:09,707 --> 00:50:14,427 Speaker 17: Well probably, yes. I've never played professional game, so that 940 00:50:14,707 --> 00:50:19,707 Speaker 17: makes me completely free of taking my decisions inside the 941 00:50:19,787 --> 00:50:24,467 Speaker 17: field when I was playing. I think today the game 942 00:50:24,587 --> 00:50:27,867 Speaker 17: is so professional, and you got the coach that is professional. 943 00:50:28,227 --> 00:50:31,667 Speaker 17: Everybody is waiting for you to do what the coach 944 00:50:31,827 --> 00:50:35,667 Speaker 17: is telling you to do. But anyway, I think that 945 00:50:35,907 --> 00:50:38,987 Speaker 17: the players that are making the difference are the players 946 00:50:39,067 --> 00:50:43,347 Speaker 17: that got their own mind, their own way of thinking, 947 00:50:43,707 --> 00:50:48,907 Speaker 17: and their own way of executing things. So I disagree completely. 948 00:50:49,467 --> 00:50:53,347 Speaker 17: For example, my friends were very keen when the spring 949 00:50:53,427 --> 00:50:57,507 Speaker 17: Books were playing and the coach was with one flag 950 00:50:57,707 --> 00:51:03,027 Speaker 17: of one color another flag of another color to tell 951 00:51:03,067 --> 00:51:05,947 Speaker 17: the players what they have to do. I think you 952 00:51:06,427 --> 00:51:08,547 Speaker 17: must not be a robot. You are a human being 953 00:51:08,667 --> 00:51:11,227 Speaker 17: and you have to have your own way of thinking 954 00:51:11,907 --> 00:51:13,507 Speaker 17: and making your own decisions. 955 00:51:13,587 --> 00:51:17,827 Speaker 3: Now, indeed, indeed, just finally, what would it mean for 956 00:51:18,587 --> 00:51:22,707 Speaker 3: the Argentinian rugby team and rugby fans in Argentina for 957 00:51:22,827 --> 00:51:25,387 Speaker 3: the Pumas to beat the All Blacks for the first 958 00:51:25,507 --> 00:51:27,187 Speaker 3: time on home soil. 959 00:51:29,867 --> 00:51:32,907 Speaker 17: It would be amazing. I mean I always said that 960 00:51:33,067 --> 00:51:36,067 Speaker 17: I was going to be alive to see the Pumas 961 00:51:36,147 --> 00:51:38,387 Speaker 17: beating the Old Blacks, and I was lucky enough to 962 00:51:38,507 --> 00:51:47,027 Speaker 17: be alive. If I I probably could be very keen 963 00:51:47,347 --> 00:51:51,467 Speaker 17: and happy to see them beating the Old Blacks in Argentina. 964 00:51:51,547 --> 00:51:53,827 Speaker 17: It would be great for our people, it would be 965 00:51:53,987 --> 00:51:56,027 Speaker 17: great for the country and for our rugby. 966 00:51:56,387 --> 00:51:58,507 Speaker 3: I'm sure you'll be around for many more years yet 967 00:51:58,547 --> 00:52:01,507 Speaker 3: ago who knows it might even happen this weekend. Thank 968 00:52:01,547 --> 00:52:03,147 Speaker 3: you so much for joining us. It's been a great 969 00:52:03,147 --> 00:52:04,067 Speaker 3: pleasure to talk with you. 970 00:52:05,307 --> 00:52:08,667 Speaker 17: Thanks very much for remembering me, and send my love 971 00:52:08,787 --> 00:52:12,787 Speaker 17: to all the people that I've been through in New Zealand. 972 00:52:13,827 --> 00:52:16,627 Speaker 3: What a champion of a man, Hugot Porta joining us 973 00:52:16,787 --> 00:52:20,187 Speaker 3: out of Argentina ahead of the first test tomorrow morning 974 00:52:20,227 --> 00:52:24,027 Speaker 3: between his nation and our nation and the Rugby Championship. 975 00:52:24,107 --> 00:52:27,627 Speaker 3: That game in nineteen eighty five, the second of November 976 00:52:27,907 --> 00:52:31,667 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty five. I vividly remember watching that game. This 977 00:52:31,787 --> 00:52:33,547 Speaker 3: would have been around about the same time. I guess, 978 00:52:33,667 --> 00:52:37,067 Speaker 3: as we're going to watch these games tomorrow, sort of nine. 979 00:52:37,467 --> 00:52:39,547 Speaker 3: I remember it being sort of a like a nine 980 00:52:39,547 --> 00:52:43,467 Speaker 3: o'clock kind of thing. And Ugo Porta kicked four penalties 981 00:52:43,547 --> 00:52:48,267 Speaker 3: and three drop goals twenty one all against the All Blacks, 982 00:52:48,307 --> 00:52:50,347 Speaker 3: the closest, as I said before, they've ever come to 983 00:52:50,427 --> 00:52:53,347 Speaker 3: beating the All Blacks in Argentina. They've done it three 984 00:52:53,427 --> 00:52:57,147 Speaker 3: times now away from Argentina. Once was on neutral territory 985 00:52:57,147 --> 00:53:00,827 Speaker 3: in Australia and Covid times, and then in christ Church 986 00:53:01,747 --> 00:53:05,467 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two and then last year in Wellington. 987 00:53:06,587 --> 00:53:10,147 Speaker 3: Listen to this team though, This team of All Blacks 988 00:53:10,147 --> 00:53:13,627 Speaker 3: who played against Argentina in nineteen eighty five. Front row 989 00:53:13,747 --> 00:53:18,867 Speaker 3: Brian mcgratten, Hicker Reid and Steve McDowell locking the scrum, 990 00:53:18,987 --> 00:53:22,667 Speaker 3: Andy Hayden and Gary Wetton, the loose trio, Mark show 991 00:53:23,227 --> 00:53:27,107 Speaker 3: Jock Hobbs and Murray Mextead. Dave Loverage was half back 992 00:53:27,147 --> 00:53:30,347 Speaker 3: and Hugo Porta mentioned him there. Wayne Smith at first five, 993 00:53:30,867 --> 00:53:34,987 Speaker 3: Warwick Taylor and Victor Simpson in midfield, Craig Green on 994 00:53:35,027 --> 00:53:37,787 Speaker 3: the left wing, John Kerwin on the right and Karen 995 00:53:37,867 --> 00:53:41,787 Speaker 3: Crowley the fallback man. There's some names in there, some 996 00:53:42,027 --> 00:53:45,027 Speaker 3: names in there, So what are you predicting for tomorrow morning? 997 00:53:45,427 --> 00:53:46,867 Speaker 3: I feel like we'll win the game, but then I 998 00:53:46,947 --> 00:53:48,827 Speaker 3: think the All Blacks will win every single game they play. 999 00:53:51,867 --> 00:53:55,107 Speaker 3: You'd want an improvement, wouldn't you, on what happened against 1000 00:53:55,147 --> 00:53:57,867 Speaker 3: France in terms of the totality of those three matches. 1001 00:53:58,027 --> 00:54:01,027 Speaker 3: The All Blacks themselves admitted they were short in a 1002 00:54:01,067 --> 00:54:03,307 Speaker 3: bunch of areas, but then you look at the team 1003 00:54:03,347 --> 00:54:05,747 Speaker 3: that they've named and there's clear intent here. The team 1004 00:54:05,787 --> 00:54:10,267 Speaker 3: that they've named for this match tomorrow morning the strongest 1005 00:54:10,307 --> 00:54:12,667 Speaker 3: they could have named with the players available. The only 1006 00:54:12,747 --> 00:54:14,587 Speaker 3: two I think who would be there if they were 1007 00:54:14,667 --> 00:54:19,587 Speaker 3: fit are Wallace to Titi and to Mighty Williams. Otherwise 1008 00:54:19,667 --> 00:54:22,627 Speaker 3: it's probably the strongest team. It's probably the team that 1009 00:54:23,947 --> 00:54:26,187 Speaker 3: you know, and again that we players coming back in 1010 00:54:26,267 --> 00:54:29,147 Speaker 3: the likes of cam Roy Garden, perhaps others, but the 1011 00:54:29,267 --> 00:54:32,307 Speaker 3: bulk of this team that plays tomorrow morning will probably 1012 00:54:32,387 --> 00:54:35,147 Speaker 3: play against South Africa at Eden Park on the sixth 1013 00:54:35,187 --> 00:54:38,307 Speaker 3: of September. Just quite keen to know what you're expecting 1014 00:54:38,347 --> 00:54:40,067 Speaker 3: tomorrow morning. We're going to break it all down after 1015 00:54:40,147 --> 00:54:42,107 Speaker 3: the game. As I say, we start the show tomorrow 1016 00:54:43,027 --> 00:54:44,987 Speaker 3: after the full time whistle or shortly after the full 1017 00:54:45,027 --> 00:54:47,987 Speaker 3: time whistle, so plenty of chance to chat about it tomorrow. 1018 00:54:47,987 --> 00:54:51,307 Speaker 3: But if you had some preliminary predictions, they keen to 1019 00:54:51,347 --> 00:54:53,227 Speaker 3: hear those oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty one 1020 00:54:53,307 --> 00:54:55,587 Speaker 3: twenty one back.

Wellington Olympic are the current holders of 1029 00:55:21,427 --> 00:55:25,947 Speaker 3: the Chatham Cup. Auckland United against Nelson Suburbs who have 1030 00:55:26,307 --> 00:55:28,907 Speaker 3: never won the Chatham Cup and I don't think I've 1031 00:55:28,907 --> 00:55:31,827 Speaker 3: ever been to the semifinals. Big day for supporters of 1032 00:55:31,867 --> 00:55:36,027 Speaker 3: Nelson Suburbs as their team take on Auckland United. Just 1033 00:55:36,067 --> 00:55:38,227 Speaker 3: a couple of scores if we can bring them up. 1034 00:55:38,307 --> 00:55:41,107 Speaker 3: Nothing through yet from Thames Valley Mid Canterbury, but we 1035 00:55:41,187 --> 00:55:42,707 Speaker 3: will keep you up to date. And as far as 1036 00:55:42,787 --> 00:55:45,707 Speaker 3: the Farah Palmer Cup is concerned, we've had the Bay 1037 00:55:45,747 --> 00:55:47,707 Speaker 3: of plenty one of a two game man over two 1038 00:55:47,747 --> 00:55:51,587 Speaker 3: winning at forty five thirty one North Harbor against Tartanuki. 1039 00:55:51,707 --> 00:55:54,827 Speaker 3: Kicking off at around about two thirty this afternoon will 1040 00:55:55,067 --> 00:55:57,707 Speaker 3: certainly keep eyes on that for you. You keep saying 1041 00:55:57,747 --> 00:56:00,147 Speaker 3: it's our best side for getting Lomax and roy Guard 1042 00:56:00,787 --> 00:56:03,827 Speaker 3: both will potentially be back for the South African Test. Yep, yep. 1043 00:56:05,227 --> 00:56:08,027 Speaker 3: I think roy Gard will see be there, Tyrel Lomax 1044 00:56:08,627 --> 00:56:12,227 Speaker 3: hoping he'll be okay. But like I say, I think 1045 00:56:12,267 --> 00:56:16,987 Speaker 3: it's the strongest team that is available. I don't think 1046 00:56:16,987 --> 00:56:20,187 Speaker 3: there's any tinkering here. It's not a sort of half 1047 00:56:20,227 --> 00:56:25,587 Speaker 3: and half proposition. As far as Razor is concerned, he 1048 00:56:26,027 --> 00:56:28,347 Speaker 3: wants to go out clearly with a statement tomorrow morning 1049 00:56:29,147 --> 00:56:31,787 Speaker 3: and from there we'll see how we go. And I 1050 00:56:31,867 --> 00:56:33,907 Speaker 3: guess the interesting part of this will be what he 1051 00:56:34,027 --> 00:56:36,827 Speaker 3: does next weekend. If in fact, the All Blacks do 1052 00:56:36,947 --> 00:56:42,907 Speaker 3: get the job done tomorrow morning, will he be tempted 1053 00:56:42,947 --> 00:56:47,507 Speaker 3: to tinker or with that being the only test between 1054 00:56:48,947 --> 00:56:51,747 Speaker 3: now or then sorry and the South African Test eatin Park, 1055 00:56:51,787 --> 00:56:53,667 Speaker 3: will he say, look, I'll roll out the same team, 1056 00:56:54,467 --> 00:56:57,107 Speaker 3: build some more combinations there and then they'll hit the 1057 00:56:57,147 --> 00:57:01,587 Speaker 3: ground running, hopefully in that sense. On September sixth, we 1058 00:57:01,707 --> 00:57:04,627 Speaker 3: wait and see nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Plenty of chances 1059 00:57:04,667 --> 00:57:07,067 Speaker 3: to chat about it afterwards here on News Talk No 1060 00:57:07,267 --> 00:57:09,627 Speaker 3: luck for the kiwis meantime on night one at the 1061 00:57:09,707 --> 00:57:12,987 Speaker 3: New Zealand Darts Masters, all of them exiting in the 1062 00:57:13,067 --> 00:57:15,627 Speaker 3: opening round at Spark Arena.

Did you sort of lean 1071 00:57:48,587 --> 00:57:50,187 Speaker 3: away from that after we spoke. 1072 00:57:52,307 --> 00:57:55,187 Speaker 6: No, I'm actually not retirement.

And he cooked himself very very well, 1104 00:59:25,947 --> 00:59:27,987 Speaker 6: better than I expected. If I'm going to be honest with. 1105 00:59:27,987 --> 00:59:30,267 Speaker 3: You, I know this is a question you probably get 1106 00:59:30,267 --> 00:59:33,267 Speaker 3: asked the law, but Luke Letler's arrival on the darts scene, 1107 00:59:33,307 --> 00:59:34,947 Speaker 3: how much has it elevated the sport? 1108 00:59:36,267 --> 00:59:38,867 Speaker 6: All the sport was the sport was viol in the 1109 00:59:38,907 --> 00:59:41,947 Speaker 6: cross of a way massively anyway, But then when you 1110 00:59:42,027 --> 00:59:46,107 Speaker 6: get the injection of the of the sun, so to speak, 1111 00:59:47,547 --> 00:59:51,827 Speaker 6: you know that he's just he's just made it massive message, 1112 00:59:51,987 --> 00:59:54,787 Speaker 6: certainly for the youngsters in the sport.

I like the exuberance of the lead. 1146 01:01:39,427 --> 01:01:42,267 Speaker 3: Indeed, we had Stephen Bunting on the show last week. 1147 01:01:43,027 --> 01:01:44,547 Speaker 3: What have you seen from him in the last couple 1148 01:01:44,587 --> 01:01:47,307 Speaker 3: of years that has elevated his game and his profile? 1149 01:01:48,747 --> 01:01:49,227 Speaker 4: Do you know what? 1150 01:01:50,067 --> 01:01:52,467 Speaker 6: It's some of all the guys, but certainly with Stephen, 1151 01:01:52,747 --> 01:01:55,467 Speaker 6: it's just believe. I mean, Stephen's got the talent, he's 1152 01:01:55,467 --> 01:01:57,347 Speaker 6: got the ability, and he's proved at a million of 1153 01:01:57,427 --> 01:02:00,667 Speaker 6: month times. But it's just having the belief that you 1154 01:02:00,747 --> 01:02:02,587 Speaker 6: can get up there and do it. I mean even 1155 01:02:02,707 --> 01:02:09,907 Speaker 6: the Video World Title Championships, the Lakeside and I mean 1156 01:02:10,067 --> 01:02:13,307 Speaker 6: feet in itself, and then when he came over to 1157 01:02:13,427 --> 01:02:17,547 Speaker 6: the p DC, you know, the talent was a lot 1158 01:02:18,307 --> 01:02:22,107 Speaker 6: better in strength there in debt and he's just in 1159 01:02:22,227 --> 01:02:25,987 Speaker 6: finding his feet now. Now Stephen believes he can win. 1160 01:02:27,147 --> 01:02:30,027 Speaker 6: He believes he can win, and that's the big, big difference, 1161 01:02:30,227 --> 01:02:32,427 Speaker 6: and you see it in his game and you see 1162 01:02:32,707 --> 01:02:36,107 Speaker 6: again you see how he holds himself on the stage there. 1163 01:02:37,907 --> 01:02:42,427 Speaker 6: He's a good kid, good character and a really really 1164 01:02:42,467 --> 01:02:44,667 Speaker 6: good gold player. Now you know he's he's way way 1165 01:02:44,787 --> 01:02:46,827 Speaker 6: up there and it's good to see. And this is 1166 01:02:46,907 --> 01:02:49,547 Speaker 6: what this is what has happened within the PDC. This 1167 01:02:49,787 --> 01:02:51,787 Speaker 6: has happened with the letter effect. Lot. We just mentions 1168 01:02:51,827 --> 01:02:53,547 Speaker 6: that you have to be better, you have to be 1169 01:02:53,667 --> 01:02:57,507 Speaker 6: more consistent to compete. And that's exactly what Stephen goes 1170 01:02:57,587 --> 01:03:00,187 Speaker 6: now and he believes that, and that's that's the biggest thing. 1171 01:03:00,587 --> 01:03:03,147 Speaker 3: And look, Humphreys world number one. Still of course that 1172 01:03:03,307 --> 01:03:04,867 Speaker 3: he's a bit out of sorts at the moment. He 1173 01:03:04,907 --> 01:03:07,867 Speaker 3: won through ik last night a six three O I 1174 01:03:07,947 --> 01:03:10,347 Speaker 3: hope by Paul ha What is the beast thing rush 1175 01:03:10,467 --> 01:03:13,347 Speaker 3: for a player to do when when they're not playing 1176 01:03:13,387 --> 01:03:14,387 Speaker 3: as well as they'd like to. 1177 01:03:17,307 --> 01:03:20,107 Speaker 6: Again, that comes down that the biggest muscle, Lot is 1178 01:03:20,107 --> 01:03:22,547 Speaker 6: a bit between your ears. I've always said that, you know, 1179 01:03:23,627 --> 01:03:26,307 Speaker 6: everyone go up there and the arms and nighties. Everyone 1180 01:03:26,347 --> 01:03:29,027 Speaker 6: can go up there at double sixteen because they do. 1181 01:03:30,147 --> 01:03:32,347 Speaker 6: But he's doing it on a on a regular basis, 1182 01:03:32,547 --> 01:03:36,547 Speaker 6: doing it consistently. Last week. I know for a fact, 1183 01:03:36,547 --> 01:03:39,627 Speaker 6: look wasn't very well, he didn't travel very well into it, 1184 01:03:39,947 --> 01:03:43,627 Speaker 6: and he was pretty sick. He was feeling good a 1185 01:03:43,707 --> 01:03:48,787 Speaker 6: lot better this week, which he showed. But with respect 1186 01:03:48,867 --> 01:03:51,467 Speaker 6: to that, it's if you're you've got to play through 1187 01:03:51,507 --> 01:03:54,027 Speaker 6: it all sport. That what sport. It is his peak 1188 01:03:54,147 --> 01:03:57,867 Speaker 6: and socks. When you're peaking fantastic. When you're in a trough, 1189 01:03:57,907 --> 01:04:02,147 Speaker 6: it's half far you trough down. You know Phil Taylor, 1190 01:04:02,747 --> 01:04:05,627 Speaker 6: if I can go to him. When Phil Taylor was peaking, 1191 01:04:05,707 --> 01:04:11,307 Speaker 6: nobody touched. When he was not on his game, his 1192 01:04:12,307 --> 01:04:14,947 Speaker 6: level of game was still most people's a game. So 1193 01:04:15,427 --> 01:04:18,107 Speaker 6: there's a big difference. And this is what you need 1194 01:04:18,227 --> 01:04:19,907 Speaker 6: to find or what the guys need to find. And 1195 01:04:19,987 --> 01:04:23,827 Speaker 6: they're not fightingally well, I haven't practice as hard as they. 1196 01:04:23,867 --> 01:04:25,307 Speaker 6: Maybe I sort of. I don't know what a feeling 1197 01:04:25,347 --> 01:04:27,307 Speaker 6: a bit under the weather because you've got a battle. 1198 01:04:27,387 --> 01:04:29,427 Speaker 6: So it again, it comes down to the bit between 1199 01:04:29,547 --> 01:04:33,307 Speaker 6: years believes you're going to do it, and that's that's 1200 01:04:33,387 --> 01:04:35,387 Speaker 6: the psychology of the game. And that's sometime I think 1201 01:04:35,387 --> 01:04:36,227 Speaker 6: it's quite important. 1202 01:04:37,107 --> 01:04:39,347 Speaker 3: Rus the players even surprise you at the white I 1203 01:04:39,467 --> 01:04:40,547 Speaker 3: attack a chick out. 1204 01:04:43,147 --> 01:04:47,947 Speaker 6: Someone. I mean, I'm going to get on my old school. 1205 01:04:47,987 --> 01:04:49,627 Speaker 6: I'll go back to the goodness, may I'll go back 1206 01:04:49,627 --> 01:04:52,747 Speaker 6: to the seventies and eighties where it was really basic 1207 01:04:52,867 --> 01:04:55,227 Speaker 6: shots out, you know. But these guys now, I mean, 1208 01:04:55,307 --> 01:04:57,707 Speaker 6: goodness made they're going for double doubles and all. This 1209 01:04:57,787 --> 01:04:59,667 Speaker 6: sort of thing is never unheard of when I was 1210 01:05:00,347 --> 01:05:02,147 Speaker 6: and I was in the game early doors, you know, 1211 01:05:02,307 --> 01:05:07,067 Speaker 6: So yeah, it's now from my perspective, it's a matter 1212 01:05:07,147 --> 01:05:10,867 Speaker 6: of getting used to the guys hitting double double shots out, 1213 01:05:11,027 --> 01:05:14,987 Speaker 6: you know, one hundred and one hundred and twelve and 1214 01:05:15,107 --> 01:05:18,467 Speaker 6: things like that, where they're sort of going just really 1215 01:05:18,587 --> 01:05:21,387 Speaker 6: really crazy way, you know, double a double in double 1216 01:05:21,427 --> 01:05:25,947 Speaker 6: top this type of thing. You know, it's mental, it 1217 01:05:26,067 --> 01:05:28,627 Speaker 6: is mental, but yeah, it don't surprise me sometimes because 1218 01:05:28,667 --> 01:05:30,907 Speaker 6: you're wondering where they're going. They've got a quick calculation 1219 01:05:32,027 --> 01:05:34,147 Speaker 6: as to where you think they might be going next. 1220 01:05:34,387 --> 01:05:37,027 Speaker 6: So yeah, it's good. It's good as what I was entertaining. 1221 01:05:37,067 --> 01:05:38,667 Speaker 6: It's good funds in and going there. And of course 1222 01:05:38,707 --> 01:05:40,387 Speaker 6: they use the bulls eye a lot now, yeah, and 1223 01:05:40,747 --> 01:05:42,667 Speaker 6: they never used two years ago. The bull's eye has 1224 01:05:42,707 --> 01:05:44,587 Speaker 6: a big shot out for them and everyone loves it. 1225 01:05:44,787 --> 01:05:47,907 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And obviously you're still sharp airs with the 1226 01:05:48,107 --> 01:05:51,427 Speaker 3: with the maths and doing the calculations in your head. 1227 01:05:52,227 --> 01:05:54,147 Speaker 3: Can I give you a couple of chickouts and get 1228 01:05:54,187 --> 01:05:55,667 Speaker 3: you to tell me how you think a player would 1229 01:05:55,667 --> 01:05:55,987 Speaker 3: a ticket? 1230 01:05:57,547 --> 01:06:03,787 Speaker 6: Yep so one hundred and thirteen, Travel twenty thirteen, Double Top. 1231 01:06:04,267 --> 01:06:05,387 Speaker 3: One hundred and thirty eight. 1232 01:06:07,667 --> 01:06:12,867 Speaker 6: Well, very famous, a great man, mine Keith, Trouble Team double. 1233 01:06:12,707 --> 01:06:14,467 Speaker 3: Twelve, love it and one oh one. 1234 01:06:18,547 --> 01:06:20,507 Speaker 6: Obviously there's a billion and one ways on it.

Ah. Look I think they are. 1264 01:07:53,147 --> 01:07:55,947 Speaker 19: And I just had a quick look at the Gamble 1265 01:07:55,987 --> 01:07:58,667 Speaker 19: Responsibly tab website and they are a dollar fifty favorite 1266 01:07:58,707 --> 01:08:01,387 Speaker 19: the Steamers, and I think that's understandable given there at 1267 01:08:01,467 --> 01:08:03,867 Speaker 19: home last on these two teams met was at the 1268 01:08:03,907 --> 01:08:06,067 Speaker 19: todong Of Domain in the semi finals last year, Bay 1269 01:08:06,067 --> 01:08:09,627 Speaker 19: of plas Anty winning that. But look, I think last 1270 01:08:09,747 --> 01:08:13,387 Speaker 19: week it was a little bit more of an endurance 1271 01:08:13,467 --> 01:08:15,427 Speaker 19: test for the Steamers to get the job done against 1272 01:08:15,627 --> 01:08:19,667 Speaker 19: County's Monika as you mentioned, very impressive against Tasman, whereas 1273 01:08:19,707 --> 01:08:22,587 Speaker 19: Canterbury stylistically it's been a little bit different but more 1274 01:08:22,627 --> 01:08:25,867 Speaker 19: of a grinder. Had difficult conditions last week against Auckland. 1275 01:08:26,427 --> 01:08:29,307 Speaker 19: But how how that Auckland team scoreless in the second half, 1276 01:08:29,907 --> 01:08:32,707 Speaker 19: So yeah, it would be interesting. The old adage styles 1277 01:08:33,347 --> 01:08:36,307 Speaker 19: make fights, well, fights make styles. Styles make fights g wiz. 1278 01:08:36,947 --> 01:08:38,707 Speaker 19: So look, I'm intrigued to see how it goes. A 1279 01:08:38,747 --> 01:08:41,747 Speaker 19: lot of class across both teams and as you mentioned, 1280 01:08:42,427 --> 01:08:45,107 Speaker 19: effectively top of the table, so one oh has to go. 1281 01:08:46,867 --> 01:08:48,467 Speaker 3: This is just tremendous stuff. 1282 01:08:48,787 --> 01:08:54,147 Speaker 19: Cliches after Russ Bray, jeez, I feel a lot a 1283 01:08:54,227 --> 01:08:56,947 Speaker 19: lot out of my depth here Piney, So I'm trying. 1284 01:08:56,987 --> 01:08:58,027 Speaker 19: I'm trying, mate, I'm trying. 1285 01:08:58,107 --> 01:09:00,267 Speaker 3: I felt like an eleven year old boy talking to him. 1286 01:09:00,267 --> 01:09:01,387 Speaker 4: But here we are. 1287 01:09:02,027 --> 01:09:04,307 Speaker 3: You mentioned the two sides when you run your eye 1288 01:09:04,387 --> 01:09:08,467 Speaker 3: down the team lists who catches the eye as potentially 1289 01:09:08,547 --> 01:09:10,427 Speaker 3: the key men for either side this afternoon. 1290 01:09:11,267 --> 01:09:13,787 Speaker 19: I think the midfield will be a really interesting battle. 1291 01:09:13,907 --> 01:09:16,067 Speaker 19: Good to have Brandon in all back for Canterbury, missed 1292 01:09:16,107 --> 01:09:19,227 Speaker 19: that win over Auckland. And look, he's a guy who 1293 01:09:19,507 --> 01:09:21,147 Speaker 19: I still think he's got a fair amount to give 1294 01:09:21,307 --> 01:09:24,147 Speaker 19: to New Zealand Rugby's resigned with the Crusaders for another year. 1295 01:09:24,307 --> 01:09:27,027 Speaker 19: He has had his injury setbacks, but just a very 1296 01:09:27,107 --> 01:09:30,147 Speaker 19: smart operator both with and without the ball. So he'll 1297 01:09:30,147 --> 01:09:33,747 Speaker 19: line up at center and he'll mark up against fair 1298 01:09:33,787 --> 01:09:37,907 Speaker 19: He figna noful who has been a real standout talent 1299 01:09:38,027 --> 01:09:40,947 Speaker 19: of course through the All Black Sevens program, made a 1300 01:09:40,987 --> 01:09:42,747 Speaker 19: real name for him South and Super rugby, I thought 1301 01:09:42,787 --> 01:09:45,067 Speaker 19: this year with the Hurricanes and now playing in the 1302 01:09:45,107 --> 01:09:48,187 Speaker 19: midfield with Bay have plenty of course, have got Ammony 1303 01:09:48,267 --> 01:09:51,947 Speaker 19: Nadawa and Leroy Carter over in Argentina not picked for 1304 01:09:52,027 --> 01:09:55,027 Speaker 19: the All Blacks Test tomorrow, but there are thereabouts within 1305 01:09:55,107 --> 01:09:57,947 Speaker 19: the squad, so I think that'll be one interesting battle. 1306 01:09:57,987 --> 01:10:00,867 Speaker 19: And then speaking of contrasting styles, he got the battle 1307 01:10:00,907 --> 01:10:03,147 Speaker 19: of the number sevens as well with Tom Christie. Just 1308 01:10:03,627 --> 01:10:06,547 Speaker 19: a tackling Tyro. He's of course off to England the 1309 01:10:06,627 --> 01:10:09,667 Speaker 19: Newcastle at the end of this NPC season, but he's 1310 01:10:09,787 --> 01:10:13,387 Speaker 19: just he's an all effort player for canterbre at number seven. 1311 01:10:13,427 --> 01:10:15,667 Speaker 19: But Vivinnie las Suger who went down and played for 1312 01:10:15,707 --> 01:10:18,987 Speaker 19: the Highlanders and Super Rugby. He's currently leading the Dwayne 1313 01:10:19,067 --> 01:10:23,387 Speaker 19: Monkly middle standings for the top NPC player and there's 1314 01:10:23,387 --> 01:10:24,987 Speaker 19: a bit to like about the way he goes about 1315 01:10:24,987 --> 01:10:29,387 Speaker 19: his business. Lasunger and very dynamic sort of new breed 1316 01:10:29,507 --> 01:10:31,907 Speaker 19: open side flankers. So there's just a couple, but as 1317 01:10:31,947 --> 01:10:35,347 Speaker 19: I say, there's plenty of class across both teams and 1318 01:10:35,427 --> 01:10:39,867 Speaker 19: conditions look good, so all in readiness for what should 1319 01:10:39,867 --> 01:10:41,067 Speaker 19: be a really promising contest. 1320 01:10:41,307 --> 01:10:43,787 Speaker 3: Just on that Tom Christie news that he is departing, 1321 01:10:44,147 --> 01:10:46,067 Speaker 3: was that in any way a surprise. 1322 01:10:47,187 --> 01:10:50,627 Speaker 19: A little because he worked his way back Pioney this year. 1323 01:10:50,827 --> 01:10:53,467 Speaker 19: He was actually outside of the match day twenty three 1324 01:10:54,467 --> 01:10:57,027 Speaker 19: at the beginning of the Crusader season, was asked to 1325 01:10:57,067 --> 01:10:59,107 Speaker 19: work on a few things within his game, and then 1326 01:10:59,227 --> 01:11:01,707 Speaker 19: through injury, got an opportunity and then his form was 1327 01:11:01,787 --> 01:11:04,987 Speaker 19: such that he just played continuously through right until the 1328 01:11:05,067 --> 01:11:07,227 Speaker 19: end of the Crusader season culminating in that. 1329 01:11:07,227 --> 01:11:08,147 Speaker 3: Super Rugby title. 1330 01:11:08,667 --> 01:11:10,987 Speaker 19: So I was a little bit surprised. I understand there 1331 01:11:11,067 --> 01:11:13,627 Speaker 19: wasn't there was an offer on the table for him 1332 01:11:13,627 --> 01:11:17,427 Speaker 19: to stay, but given the circumstances, given the stage of 1333 01:11:17,467 --> 01:11:19,987 Speaker 19: his career as a twenty seven going on twenty eight, 1334 01:11:20,427 --> 01:11:23,787 Speaker 19: and this buyout by Red Bull of Newcastle. I don't 1335 01:11:23,787 --> 01:11:26,507 Speaker 19: know the numbers, but from what I have read, you 1336 01:11:26,547 --> 01:11:28,507 Speaker 19: know it could be the best part of him making 1337 01:11:29,107 --> 01:11:32,187 Speaker 19: double money to go overseas. So I don't begrudge Tom 1338 01:11:32,267 --> 01:11:34,467 Speaker 19: Christy and it will be fascinating to see. I know 1339 01:11:34,547 --> 01:11:37,107 Speaker 19: the name Ollie Mathis has been bandied around as a 1340 01:11:37,147 --> 01:11:40,827 Speaker 19: potential replacement for the Crusaders, a real talent out of Waikato. 1341 01:11:41,787 --> 01:11:44,467 Speaker 19: So look a little bit of a surprise, but can 1342 01:11:44,827 --> 01:11:46,627 Speaker 19: understand why Tom's made that decision. 1343 01:11:46,747 --> 01:11:49,387 Speaker 3: Hey, Louis Chapman, have you seen much of this? I 1344 01:11:49,467 --> 01:11:51,067 Speaker 3: was gonna say, k he's not read ID anymore. He's 1345 01:11:51,067 --> 01:11:53,467 Speaker 3: about twenty five. Have you seen much of Louis Chapman. 1346 01:11:53,667 --> 01:11:56,187 Speaker 19: Well, actually had Louis Chapman as as a co commentator 1347 01:11:56,307 --> 01:11:59,947 Speaker 19: during the Super Rugby season. He stepped in and did 1348 01:11:59,987 --> 01:12:01,867 Speaker 19: a very good job in a Crusaders Highland. His game, 1349 01:12:01,907 --> 01:12:04,427 Speaker 19: I must say, but he's a christ Church kid. Had 1350 01:12:04,467 --> 01:12:07,307 Speaker 19: to go away because we've had, you know, such quality 1351 01:12:07,387 --> 01:12:11,107 Speaker 19: in terms of half backs with Mitch Drummond and Willie 1352 01:12:11,147 --> 01:12:13,587 Speaker 19: Hines and the like. He played a few seasons up 1353 01:12:13,587 --> 01:12:16,507 Speaker 19: at Tasman. Effectively it's ended up being a trade with 1354 01:12:16,587 --> 01:12:19,667 Speaker 19: Mitch Drummond's going to tas Louis Chapman coming back for Canterbury. 1355 01:12:19,707 --> 01:12:21,547 Speaker 19: But I think he's just slotted into the red and 1356 01:12:21,627 --> 01:12:25,867 Speaker 19: Black environment seamlessly. He's got a very calm game about 1357 01:12:25,947 --> 01:12:28,227 Speaker 19: him in terms of his game management. Does a lot 1358 01:12:28,267 --> 01:12:31,227 Speaker 19: of kicking, a lot of box kicking, and yeah, there's 1359 01:12:31,227 --> 01:12:32,707 Speaker 19: something about him. I like Louis Chapman. 1360 01:12:32,707 --> 01:12:34,387 Speaker 3: He's good man, good stuff and do you have an 1361 01:12:34,427 --> 01:12:36,667 Speaker 3: expert comments man today or comments person? 1362 01:12:36,947 --> 01:12:39,507 Speaker 19: Well, funnily enough, he's just text me to say I'm here, 1363 01:12:39,667 --> 01:12:42,507 Speaker 19: so I better wrap this up lasting quick. But it 1364 01:12:42,547 --> 01:12:44,507 Speaker 19: will be a real pleasure actually, first time to be 1365 01:12:44,587 --> 01:12:48,187 Speaker 19: joined by Matt Todd. So of course a Canterbury a 1366 01:12:48,227 --> 01:12:51,187 Speaker 19: Crusader's sort of cult hero if you want to call 1367 01:12:51,267 --> 01:12:53,987 Speaker 19: him that. Part of the Crusader's coaching staff these days, 1368 01:12:54,027 --> 01:12:56,627 Speaker 19: and he was part of the Canterbury coaching group last year. 1369 01:12:56,667 --> 01:13:00,227 Speaker 19: He's given that up to James Lynchies's now the new 1370 01:13:00,307 --> 01:13:02,987 Speaker 19: Canterbury defense coach.

The crowd was amazing. Yeah, 1390 01:13:56,947 --> 01:13:59,467 Speaker 3: that's a big feature of it, isn't It sold out tonight? 1391 01:13:59,747 --> 01:14:01,547 Speaker 3: As I understand it, the second night of the New 1392 01:14:01,667 --> 01:14:06,027 Speaker 3: Zealand Darts Masters at Spark Arena. Let's get him across 1393 01:14:06,067 --> 01:14:07,907 Speaker 3: the taen as we always do it around about this 1394 01:14:08,027 --> 01:14:11,467 Speaker 3: time on Saturday afternoons, our Australian correspondent Adam Peacock to 1395 01:14:11,587 --> 01:14:15,507 Speaker 3: update us on sporting matters from across the dirtch the 1396 01:14:15,587 --> 01:14:19,507 Speaker 3: Rugby Championship. Adam begins tomorrow morning. Your Wallabies up against 1397 01:14:19,547 --> 01:14:21,467 Speaker 3: the spring Box and what will no doubt be a 1398 01:14:21,547 --> 01:14:26,067 Speaker 3: cauldron at Ellis Park and Johannesburg. How optimistic or not 1399 01:14:26,467 --> 01:14:27,347 Speaker 3: do you feel about this? 1400 01:14:28,747 --> 01:14:28,947 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1401 01:14:29,587 --> 01:14:33,427 Speaker 20: Not really given the given the venue in South Africa 1402 01:14:33,707 --> 01:14:36,227 Speaker 20: are pretty you know, ready for it. We've just had 1403 01:14:36,267 --> 01:14:39,387 Speaker 20: three brutal tests against the lines as well. Who knows, 1404 01:14:39,587 --> 01:14:42,147 Speaker 20: like that old quote iron sharp and zign that that 1405 01:14:42,307 --> 01:14:45,147 Speaker 20: could be the determining factor in the Wallabies could really 1406 01:14:45,227 --> 01:14:47,867 Speaker 20: hit their rhythm straight away or they could be found 1407 01:14:47,907 --> 01:14:50,707 Speaker 20: out in Yeah, let's space. It's a pretty challenging place 1408 01:14:50,787 --> 01:14:53,027 Speaker 20: to go, given the opponent, given the crowd, and given 1409 01:14:53,067 --> 01:14:57,387 Speaker 20: the altitude as well. So yeah, there's yeah, like we 1410 01:14:57,587 --> 01:15:00,107 Speaker 20: hope and it's more about that with the Wallaby still 1411 01:15:00,187 --> 01:15:03,267 Speaker 20: under Joe Schmidt and like we're seeing signs and obviously 1412 01:15:03,347 --> 01:15:06,267 Speaker 20: that last test in Sydney was brilliant, but this is 1413 01:15:06,387 --> 01:15:10,867 Speaker 20: different proposition altogether with this mob. And yeah, they're big pack, 1414 01:15:10,907 --> 01:15:12,667 Speaker 20: and they're big pack on the bench and they're big 1415 01:15:13,307 --> 01:15:16,707 Speaker 20: they're big sellers in the crowd willing them on. So yeah, intimidating, 1416 01:15:16,787 --> 01:15:19,667 Speaker 20: but hope that they can serve up a pretty pretty 1417 01:15:19,667 --> 01:15:20,267 Speaker 20: good performance. 1418 01:15:20,427 --> 01:15:22,267 Speaker 3: Now I thought Nick White had retired, but here he 1419 01:15:22,427 --> 01:15:26,507 Speaker 3: is number nine on his back and James O'Connor outside 1420 01:15:26,507 --> 01:15:27,707 Speaker 3: of it. Ted it's a bit of a throwback. 1421 01:15:28,787 --> 01:15:31,107 Speaker 20: Yeah, so James O'Connor out of necessity, it looks like, 1422 01:15:31,187 --> 01:15:32,947 Speaker 20: and he was in the line squad so he was 1423 01:15:33,587 --> 01:15:35,747 Speaker 20: a round about. But yeah, you're right, Nick White. I 1424 01:15:35,787 --> 01:15:39,147 Speaker 20: mean we had a famous singer over here in John Farnam. 1425 01:15:39,147 --> 01:15:41,507 Speaker 20: He kept on doing farewell to us. He had a 1426 01:15:41,547 --> 01:15:43,347 Speaker 20: at eight of them. I don't know, I don't think 1427 01:15:43,547 --> 01:15:46,107 Speaker 20: Dave Dobyn did something similar over there or someone else, 1428 01:15:46,187 --> 01:15:49,787 Speaker 20: but Nick White just decided two weeks after retiring from 1429 01:15:49,787 --> 01:15:50,907 Speaker 20: the Wall of His to play for the Wall of 1430 01:15:50,947 --> 01:15:54,187 Speaker 20: His again. Obviously not his choice, but yeah, I look, 1431 01:15:54,347 --> 01:15:57,387 Speaker 20: experience will count in an environment like that, so cool head. 1432 01:15:57,587 --> 01:15:59,547 Speaker 20: It's probably not the place to be blooding someone at 1433 01:15:59,667 --> 01:16:03,027 Speaker 20: the age of twenty two, So we'll see if it works. 1434 01:16:03,467 --> 01:16:06,107 Speaker 3: Good point, that's early as to tomorrow morning and Joe 1435 01:16:06,147 --> 01:16:08,907 Speaker 3: bur let's go to the NRAL Round twenty four. Already 1436 01:16:08,947 --> 01:16:11,227 Speaker 3: delivering the storm, beating the Panthers and Golden Point to 1437 01:16:11,267 --> 01:16:14,627 Speaker 3: snap Penroth's nine game winning streak. The Rooster's running over 1438 01:16:14,667 --> 01:16:16,227 Speaker 3: the top of the Bulldogs to move into the eight. 1439 01:16:16,307 --> 01:16:19,827 Speaker 3: The Warriors squeaking back into the top four. Look, what 1440 01:16:20,067 --> 01:16:21,467 Speaker 3: is the top four going to be? Do we even 1441 01:16:21,507 --> 01:16:22,507 Speaker 3: know what the top eight's going to be? 1442 01:16:23,307 --> 01:16:25,867 Speaker 20: Yeah, that's the trick at the moment, there's a few 1443 01:16:25,907 --> 01:16:28,627 Speaker 20: moving parts. The Roosters have come good against expectations, so 1444 01:16:28,787 --> 01:16:30,747 Speaker 20: that's a bit of a wild card that's going to 1445 01:16:30,827 --> 01:16:32,907 Speaker 20: upset what we thought was going to happen. Mainly but 1446 01:16:33,387 --> 01:16:36,347 Speaker 20: the Warriors, I mean everyone presumed that they were going 1447 01:16:36,427 --> 01:16:38,467 Speaker 20: to drop off, and they puffed it out last night 1448 01:16:38,547 --> 01:16:41,187 Speaker 20: in Auckland. Obviously, helped by the fact that Dragons had 1449 01:16:41,307 --> 01:16:45,907 Speaker 20: three players ko, including two taking each other out. But yeah, 1450 01:16:46,267 --> 01:16:47,747 Speaker 20: I just looked at the Warriors draw and it's a 1451 01:16:47,787 --> 01:16:50,667 Speaker 20: good one. So I think Andrew Webster last night wasn't 1452 01:16:50,787 --> 01:16:53,627 Speaker 20: overly thrilled with the performance. That was pretty happy to 1453 01:16:54,147 --> 01:16:56,307 Speaker 20: squeak out one. But I think there's a bit of 1454 01:16:56,387 --> 01:16:58,707 Speaker 20: improvement to come with the cattle that they've got left 1455 01:16:58,787 --> 01:17:01,707 Speaker 20: the Warriors and yeah, I can see them actually with 1456 01:17:01,827 --> 01:17:04,387 Speaker 20: the draw that got and the fact that Penroth has 1457 01:17:04,467 --> 01:17:07,507 Speaker 20: to Yeah, they've got two really tough games I think 1458 01:17:07,547 --> 01:17:08,747 Speaker 20: in the next couple of weeks. So I think they've 1459 01:17:08,747 --> 01:17:12,427 Speaker 20: got the Raiders and the Dogs, so yeah, that last 1460 01:17:12,467 --> 01:17:14,547 Speaker 20: fourth position is going to be tight. I don't think 1461 01:17:14,627 --> 01:17:17,387 Speaker 20: the Broncos have enough, especially now to the top four, 1462 01:17:17,707 --> 01:17:21,187 Speaker 20: talking about with their helve there, So yeah, Penrith and 1463 01:17:21,227 --> 01:17:22,907 Speaker 20: Warriors for that top four and then the top eight. 1464 01:17:22,947 --> 01:17:25,307 Speaker 20: I think the Roosters go in now after last night 1465 01:17:25,387 --> 01:17:28,027 Speaker 20: that was fantastic against the Dogs. So yeah, a lot 1466 01:17:28,107 --> 01:17:29,587 Speaker 20: happening in the next couple of weeks in the lead 1467 01:17:29,667 --> 01:17:30,667 Speaker 20: up to the final and. 1468 01:17:30,707 --> 01:17:33,467 Speaker 3: To finish today, some interesting comments from Cricket Australia chief 1469 01:17:33,547 --> 01:17:36,827 Speaker 3: Todd Greenberg this week warning the existing calendar off test 1470 01:17:36,867 --> 01:17:40,387 Speaker 3: cricket could lead cricket boards to bankruptcy. He's calling for 1471 01:17:40,507 --> 01:17:43,147 Speaker 3: fewer test matches. What do you make of those comments. 1472 01:17:43,947 --> 01:17:48,947 Speaker 20: Yes, it's probably a rational thought and it's taking the 1473 01:17:48,987 --> 01:17:50,867 Speaker 20: emotion out of it is hard because it is test 1474 01:17:50,947 --> 01:17:52,827 Speaker 20: cricket that's been around for a very long time. But 1475 01:17:53,627 --> 01:17:55,707 Speaker 20: just be honest, like, look at this calendar. This calendar 1476 01:17:55,747 --> 01:17:57,227 Speaker 20: is going to look different in the next five years 1477 01:17:57,267 --> 01:18:00,107 Speaker 20: with cricket because if you bring in a Champions League 1478 01:18:00,147 --> 01:18:03,987 Speaker 20: for ten twenty and the IPL start picking off franchises 1479 01:18:04,067 --> 01:18:07,267 Speaker 20: around the world, or ipal owners start picking off franchise 1480 01:18:07,387 --> 01:18:08,867 Speaker 20: like around the world what they have with one hundred 1481 01:18:08,947 --> 01:18:10,347 Speaker 20: over in the UK, it's going to happen to you here. 1482 01:18:10,347 --> 01:18:12,747 Speaker 20: As a big basher, I'd say that Indian investments coming 1483 01:18:13,347 --> 01:18:15,667 Speaker 20: as well. This is going to be a franchise model 1484 01:18:15,667 --> 01:18:18,787 Speaker 20: where you might have five tournaments through the years that 1485 01:18:18,907 --> 01:18:22,107 Speaker 20: those franchises play. So then it's the calendar squeeze. And 1486 01:18:22,707 --> 01:18:26,267 Speaker 20: like talking to New Zealand favorite Australian Brad hadden't about 1487 01:18:26,587 --> 01:18:28,667 Speaker 20: the fact that the West Indies when he was over there, 1488 01:18:29,227 --> 01:18:32,347 Speaker 20: they just had no appetitse to test cricket. They're players 1489 01:18:32,467 --> 01:18:36,227 Speaker 20: because they earned two hundred grand if they've got a 1490 01:18:36,347 --> 01:18:39,267 Speaker 20: contract playing Test cricket for the West Indies, someone like 1491 01:18:39,387 --> 01:18:42,427 Speaker 20: Nicholas Porins on about five million years. I mean, you 1492 01:18:42,507 --> 01:18:45,867 Speaker 20: don't have to be a master of economics to realize 1493 01:18:45,907 --> 01:18:48,387 Speaker 20: that what choice the player is going to make. So 1494 01:18:48,587 --> 01:18:50,747 Speaker 20: it's just going to be exceedingly difficult for these nations 1495 01:18:50,787 --> 01:18:52,507 Speaker 20: to keep playing Test cricket with their best players, and 1496 01:18:52,547 --> 01:18:54,947 Speaker 20: you don't want them to play Test cricket without their 1497 01:18:54,987 --> 01:18:56,867 Speaker 20: best players. So that's I think the balance that they're 1498 01:18:56,867 --> 01:18:59,867 Speaker 20: trying to strike, and I'm kind of tight unfortunately that 1499 01:18:59,947 --> 01:19:02,347 Speaker 20: there's going to be less Test cricket in the future played, 1500 01:19:02,427 --> 01:19:04,947 Speaker 20: which might crystallize it a bit and make them more 1501 01:19:04,987 --> 01:19:08,667 Speaker 20: special those Test cricket events. But yees are changing lands 1502 01:19:08,667 --> 01:19:09,147 Speaker 20: to go for sure. 1503 01:19:09,227 --> 01:19:09,427 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1504 01:19:09,427 --> 01:19:11,267 Speaker 3: I think he said Scarce tody better than quantity or 1505 01:19:11,307 --> 01:19:13,667 Speaker 3: something along those lines. But yeah, we see, we wait 1506 01:19:13,707 --> 01:19:16,107 Speaker 3: to see how it plays out. Always good catching up, Adam, 1507 01:19:16,147 --> 01:19:18,507 Speaker 3: thanks for your rap of Australian sport. Will do it 1508 01:19:18,547 --> 01:19:20,907 Speaker 3: again next Saturday. Fine one, you have a good one 1509 01:19:20,947 --> 01:19:23,467 Speaker 3: to mate. Adam Peacock out of Australia this time or 1510 01:19:23,507 --> 01:19:28,027 Speaker 3: thereabouts every Saturday afternoon nine to two. Jason says this text, 1511 01:19:28,627 --> 01:19:31,587 Speaker 3: can you please talk about or mention the curtain raiser 1512 01:19:31,627 --> 01:19:34,387 Speaker 3: at Eden Park this afternoon? Of course, we've got the 1513 01:19:34,987 --> 01:19:38,267 Speaker 3: Bunnings MPC match at Eden Park, Auckland Taranaki, kicking off 1514 01:19:38,307 --> 01:19:40,747 Speaker 3: at four thirty five, the curtain raiser. There might be 1515 01:19:40,867 --> 01:19:43,987 Speaker 3: more people at this one, the one A final. This 1516 01:19:44,147 --> 01:19:48,627 Speaker 3: is the first fifteen final in Auckland. Saint Kent's against 1517 01:19:48,707 --> 01:19:52,307 Speaker 3: King's College. Well, I don't know. I don't know one 1518 01:19:52,387 --> 01:19:54,867 Speaker 3: A rugby very well at all. Who would be favorite? 1519 01:19:56,107 --> 01:19:58,907 Speaker 3: Let me just check the latter. King's College were top 1520 01:19:58,947 --> 01:20:02,027 Speaker 3: of the top of the regular season if you like, 1521 01:20:02,427 --> 01:20:07,347 Speaker 3: ten wins from eleven games, and Saint Vents were second, 1522 01:20:07,747 --> 01:20:11,787 Speaker 3: although equal on points with Sacred Heart. Then grammar so well, 1523 01:20:11,787 --> 01:20:15,267 Speaker 3: I don't know who would be favorites. Sint Kings don't know, 1524 01:20:15,467 --> 01:20:17,867 Speaker 3: it'll be a Cracker says this text. One A is 1525 01:20:17,907 --> 01:20:20,827 Speaker 3: great rugby. Yeah, as I understand that there's some quality 1526 01:20:20,867 --> 01:20:24,387 Speaker 3: of rugby being played, I know that secondary school sport 1527 01:20:24,427 --> 01:20:26,547 Speaker 3: can sometimes get a bad rap when things don't quite 1528 01:20:26,547 --> 01:20:28,547 Speaker 3: go the way that we would all like it too. 1529 01:20:30,107 --> 01:20:33,707 Speaker 3: For me anyway, The adultification of kids' sport or secondary 1530 01:20:33,707 --> 01:20:35,987 Speaker 3: school sport. But yeah, I get the feeling it'll be 1531 01:20:36,427 --> 01:20:39,827 Speaker 3: another cracking contest this afternoon when the one A final 1532 01:20:39,867 --> 01:20:42,107 Speaker 3: has played. As the curtain raiser re Leeding Park two 1533 01:20:42,227 --> 01:20:44,027 Speaker 3: twenty kickoff, We'll try and keep you up to date 1534 01:20:44,067 --> 01:20:47,147 Speaker 3: with some scores. King's College against Saint Kent's for the 1535 01:20:47,587 --> 01:20:50,107 Speaker 3: one A title twenty twenty five. Back in a moment 1536 01:20:50,227 --> 01:20:51,227 Speaker 3: on Weekend Sport. 1537 01:20:51,947 --> 01:20:56,907 Speaker 1: Breaking down the Hail Mary's and the every fails Weekend 1538 01:20:57,027 --> 01:21:00,787 Speaker 1: Sports with Jason Pine News Talk ZENB coming up. 1539 01:21:00,747 --> 01:21:03,907 Speaker 3: Four to two. Text hero in the semi final between 1540 01:21:03,987 --> 01:21:06,587 Speaker 3: Grammar and Kings, it was thirty two to all and 1541 01:21:06,667 --> 01:21:08,547 Speaker 3: they don't have golden point, which is a bit of 1542 01:21:08,547 --> 01:21:11,267 Speaker 3: a shame in a semi says the text. So they 1543 01:21:11,467 --> 01:21:15,347 Speaker 3: used first to score in the game. Is that right? 1544 01:21:16,907 --> 01:21:21,387 Speaker 3: That because because Kings scored first they went through to 1545 01:21:21,427 --> 01:21:24,227 Speaker 3: the final. That doesn't sound right. Surely it's done on 1546 01:21:24,307 --> 01:21:27,747 Speaker 3: table position. I've never in my life heard of a 1547 01:21:27,827 --> 01:21:32,627 Speaker 3: game that's level at full time being decided on who 1548 01:21:32,707 --> 01:21:37,227 Speaker 3: scored first in the game. Please clarify. It would feel 1549 01:21:37,267 --> 01:21:41,467 Speaker 3: to me as though. The much more common separator is 1550 01:21:41,747 --> 01:21:45,227 Speaker 3: if it's a drawer at full time who finished top 1551 01:21:45,267 --> 01:21:47,547 Speaker 3: in the regular season in a semi final situation like this, 1552 01:21:49,147 --> 01:21:51,147 Speaker 3: first to score in the game. I've never heard of 1553 01:21:51,307 --> 01:21:53,267 Speaker 3: such a thing. Ken, We get a shout out and 1554 01:21:53,267 --> 01:21:55,547 Speaker 3: says this text to the under eighty five's North Harbor 1555 01:21:55,547 --> 01:21:58,347 Speaker 3: against Auckland. Just finished some of the best rugby I 1556 01:21:58,467 --> 01:22:01,507 Speaker 3: have seen, Harbor coming away with a thirty six twelve one. 1557 01:22:01,627 --> 01:22:04,307 Speaker 3: Thank you very much for seending that through. After two, 1558 01:22:04,587 --> 01:22:07,227 Speaker 3: we're in the Tall Blacks Camp finals of the Asia 1559 01:22:07,267 --> 01:22:10,307 Speaker 3: Captain Night against China. Point guard Taylor Britt going to 1560 01:22:10,427 --> 01:22:11,467 Speaker 3: join us after two. 1561 01:22:13,227 --> 01:22:16,067 Speaker 1: The only place to discuss the biggest sports issues on 1562 01:22:16,507 --> 01:22:17,667 Speaker 1: and after fields. 1563 01:22:18,147 --> 01:22:19,387 Speaker 6: It's all on Winter and. 1564 01:22:19,467 --> 01:22:22,987 Speaker 2: Ford with Jason Taine on your home of Sport. 1565 01:22:24,107 --> 01:22:26,747 Speaker 4: US talk to seven. 1566 01:22:26,787 --> 01:22:30,067 Speaker 3: Welcome back to weekend Sport. In case your mister to come, 1567 01:22:30,147 --> 01:22:32,747 Speaker 3: then inside the Toll Blacks Camp, Premier League Football sal 1568 01:22:32,867 --> 01:22:35,987 Speaker 3: GP and your chance to win with a sporting chance 1569 01:22:36,427 --> 01:22:38,107 Speaker 3: this hour plus all the live sport to keep an 1570 01:22:38,107 --> 01:22:40,507 Speaker 3: eye on two. Before we move though, just on the 1571 01:22:40,547 --> 01:22:42,547 Speaker 3: text we had before to two about the one A 1572 01:22:43,107 --> 01:22:45,667 Speaker 3: semi finals, James says, Jason, I think it was the 1573 01:22:45,747 --> 01:22:50,107 Speaker 3: number of tries scored by each team. King scored five 1574 01:22:50,187 --> 01:22:53,267 Speaker 3: and grammar four, so Kings went through. Thanks James, And 1575 01:22:53,267 --> 01:22:57,907 Speaker 3: I've got more explanation from Matt here. A very good explanation. Actually, 1576 01:22:57,987 --> 01:23:01,787 Speaker 3: he says that text is wrong and most tries won 1577 01:23:01,907 --> 01:23:05,027 Speaker 3: the process is first of all, World Rugby has said 1578 01:23:05,027 --> 01:23:07,947 Speaker 3: that there's no extra time under nineteen rugby. Okay, that's 1579 01:23:07,947 --> 01:23:10,227 Speaker 3: fair enough. I get that. So the winner shall be 1580 01:23:10,347 --> 01:23:14,267 Speaker 3: the team that scores the most tries. Fair but then 1581 01:23:14,307 --> 01:23:15,907 Speaker 3: goes on to say, if the team scored the same 1582 01:23:16,027 --> 01:23:18,427 Speaker 3: number of tries, the winner is the team that scored 1583 01:23:18,467 --> 01:23:21,067 Speaker 3: the first try. See that seems odd to me. I 1584 01:23:21,107 --> 01:23:23,747 Speaker 3: don't see what the significance of scoring the first try is. 1585 01:23:24,267 --> 01:23:26,227 Speaker 3: It's almost as though it should be the last try. 1586 01:23:27,387 --> 01:23:29,787 Speaker 3: If the number of tries is even, I feel like 1587 01:23:29,787 --> 01:23:31,467 Speaker 3: the winner should be the one that got the last try. 1588 01:23:31,507 --> 01:23:34,267 Speaker 3: Almost equalizes Andy, I reckon it should be the one 1589 01:23:34,307 --> 01:23:38,267 Speaker 3: that kicked the ball out the most, if you well, Oddly, 1590 01:23:38,707 --> 01:23:40,427 Speaker 3: if no tries were scored, the winner shall be the 1591 01:23:40,467 --> 01:23:44,507 Speaker 3: team that scored the first points. If no points were scored, 1592 01:23:44,547 --> 01:23:46,787 Speaker 3: so a nillall drawer, the winner shall be the team 1593 01:23:46,827 --> 01:23:49,787 Speaker 3: that won the game in round robin, and if the 1594 01:23:49,867 --> 01:23:51,627 Speaker 3: round robin game was drawn. The winner will be the 1595 01:23:51,667 --> 01:23:53,907 Speaker 3: team they had the best four and against differential during 1596 01:23:53,987 --> 01:23:55,547 Speaker 3: round robin play. There you go. 1597 01:23:55,907 --> 01:23:58,947 Speaker 21: But what if they have the same same Is it 1598 01:23:59,147 --> 01:24:02,427 Speaker 21: team with the most left handed players? How far down 1599 01:24:02,467 --> 01:24:02,787 Speaker 21: do they go? 1600 01:24:03,067 --> 01:24:05,867 Speaker 3: It's the team with the most year elevens ah, Yes, yeah, 1601 01:24:06,147 --> 01:24:10,187 Speaker 3: the youngest team wins. That's right. Good to know, Good 1602 01:24:10,227 --> 01:24:12,027 Speaker 3: to know that there is a process in place. Thank 1603 01:24:12,067 --> 01:24:15,267 Speaker 3: you for those texts. The upshot of it all is 1604 01:24:15,307 --> 01:24:19,427 Speaker 3: that we have the one A final this afternoon. Looking 1605 01:24:19,467 --> 01:24:22,787 Speaker 3: forward to seeing how it goes. Two twenty so about 1606 01:24:22,827 --> 01:24:25,587 Speaker 3: to kick off at eden Park King's College against Saint 1607 01:24:25,667 --> 01:24:30,147 Speaker 3: Kent's All the best of both sides. Auckland United have 1608 01:24:30,187 --> 01:24:33,107 Speaker 3: scored early in that Chatham Cup seeming against Nelson Suburbs. 1609 01:24:33,147 --> 01:24:35,827 Speaker 3: They lead one nilt in that game nil all between 1610 01:24:35,867 --> 01:24:38,627 Speaker 3: Eastern Suburbs and Wellington Olympic eight minutes into their game. 1611 01:24:38,667 --> 01:24:41,267 Speaker 3: We'll keep eyes on that.

Constructed Ana slot has now constructed a 1870 01:37:59,147 --> 01:38:03,307 Speaker 28: new team really compared to Last four players made their debuts, 1871 01:38:03,347 --> 01:38:06,827 Speaker 28: tonight which is the first first time four players started 1872 01:38:07,627 --> 01:38:10,547 Speaker 28: for the champions on the opening of the season for a. 1873 01:38:10,667 --> 01:38:12,747 Speaker 28: Generation it's really ridiculous really. 1874 01:38:12,947 --> 01:38:13,587 Speaker 11: When you consider. 1875 01:38:13,667 --> 01:38:18,387 Speaker 28: That BUT i think we've throughout the preseason we've Seen 1876 01:38:18,467 --> 01:38:21,187 Speaker 28: liverpool opening teams, up creating. 1877 01:38:21,307 --> 01:38:26,787 Speaker 11: Chances this very exciting new front line clicking to a certain, 1878 01:38:26,827 --> 01:38:28,107 Speaker 11: extent showing flashes of their. 1879 01:38:28,187 --> 01:38:31,147 Speaker 28: Quality hu Going tk as the man that's really taken 1880 01:38:31,187 --> 01:38:33,987 Speaker 28: it on with goals in The Community, shield and this 1881 01:38:34,107 --> 01:38:37,587 Speaker 28: evening Against, Bournemouth Cody gak postings to be relishing. It 1882 01:38:37,707 --> 01:38:40,987 Speaker 28: mostsella look more like himself today compared to A wembley last. 1883 01:38:41,067 --> 01:38:43,627 Speaker 28: WEEK i think we're still to see a bit more 1884 01:38:43,667 --> 01:38:48,027 Speaker 28: Of Florian. Viits so you saw a lot of their 1885 01:38:48,067 --> 01:38:52,147 Speaker 28: attacking verve Against, bournemouth but you also saw the flip 1886 01:38:52,227 --> 01:38:57,027 Speaker 28: side of. THAT i think the weirdly and, okay they've 1887 01:38:57,147 --> 01:39:00,347 Speaker 28: changed both fullbacks in kirkcases now they're in fring pongs 1888 01:39:00,427 --> 01:39:02,867 Speaker 28: now There actually it was when those guys left the 1889 01:39:02,907 --> 01:39:07,987 Speaker 28: pitch That liverpool looks fragile the evening AND i just 1890 01:39:08,107 --> 01:39:10,867 Speaker 28: think there's a bit of uncertainty. 1891 01:39:10,227 --> 01:39:10,827 Speaker 10: About the back. 1892 01:39:10,907 --> 01:39:15,387 Speaker 28: LINE i think the team is adjusting to Incorporating Florian 1893 01:39:15,467 --> 01:39:18,147 Speaker 28: vitz as a number. Ten there's less protection in midfield 1894 01:39:18,187 --> 01:39:21,907 Speaker 28: as a, result and there's defensive fragility there And bournemouth 1895 01:39:22,387 --> 01:39:27,067 Speaker 28: absolutely exploited that as teams have through pre Season Crystal 1896 01:39:27,107 --> 01:39:29,747 Speaker 28: padis did At wembley last. Week in The Community shield as, 1897 01:39:29,787 --> 01:39:33,747 Speaker 28: well there is a vulnerability there which does not necessarily 1898 01:39:35,427 --> 01:39:38,147 Speaker 28: it's not suggestive of a team that is likely to be. Champions, 1899 01:39:38,627 --> 01:39:42,147 Speaker 28: however very very early days and these guys are bedding. 1900 01:39:42,227 --> 01:39:44,787 Speaker 28: In we've all we all know What liverpool have been 1901 01:39:44,827 --> 01:39:51,027 Speaker 28: through this summer and the commemoration For Giogo jotta tonight 1902 01:39:51,227 --> 01:39:56,267 Speaker 28: was impeccably, done absolutely wonderfully, done and that is a 1903 01:39:56,347 --> 01:40:00,027 Speaker 28: trauma that is deep seated and given the amount of 1904 01:40:00,107 --> 01:40:02,267 Speaker 28: upheaval as, well this summer At liverpool is going to 1905 01:40:02,307 --> 01:40:05,907 Speaker 28: be a bit of time before everything clicks defensively and 1906 01:40:06,387 --> 01:40:08,307 Speaker 28: and offensively to make that. 1907 01:40:08,707 --> 01:40:09,467 Speaker 11: Team what it can. 1908 01:40:09,627 --> 01:40:12,267 Speaker 28: Be BUT i think in the first few weeks of 1909 01:40:12,267 --> 01:40:14,947 Speaker 28: the season we will see opportunities for opponents when they 1910 01:40:14,987 --> 01:40:18,707 Speaker 28: Play liverpool and teams will go into games against them 1911 01:40:18,787 --> 01:40:22,787 Speaker 28: thinking they've got a chance to to inflict damage on 1912 01:40:22,907 --> 01:40:25,427 Speaker 28: that back. Line so that actually just adds to it. 1913 01:40:25,507 --> 01:40:27,147 Speaker 28: All it makes a bit more drama in the in 1914 01:40:27,227 --> 01:40:29,547 Speaker 28: the at the start of This Premier league, Season. 1915 01:40:30,227 --> 01:40:34,067 Speaker 3: Arsenal closest To liverpool last year second for the third straight. 1916 01:40:34,187 --> 01:40:37,067 Speaker 3: Season what do they need to do to take the 1917 01:40:37,147 --> 01:40:39,467 Speaker 3: next step and be champions for the first time since 1918 01:40:39,507 --> 01:40:42,947 Speaker 3: what three to?

Season, well they you're probably. 1920 01:40:47,467 --> 01:40:51,307 Speaker 28: Right they are probably closest on paper though given them 1921 01:40:51,547 --> 01:40:53,787 Speaker 28: maybe because of the amount Of uphea will manage the 1922 01:40:53,907 --> 01:40:56,707 Speaker 28: city as.

Season? 1955 01:42:39,947 --> 01:42:41,707 Speaker 28: WELL i was listening To Gary neville On The teddy 1956 01:42:41,787 --> 01:42:43,907 Speaker 28: this evening and he was asked that very same. Question 1957 01:42:44,467 --> 01:42:47,747 Speaker 28: he suggested that sixth place this season would be a 1958 01:42:47,827 --> 01:42:51,027 Speaker 28: major achievement For Manchester united And Ruben amerim and he's 1959 01:42:51,107 --> 01:42:54,147 Speaker 28: probably right in, fairness given how poor things were last 1960 01:42:54,227 --> 01:42:59,107 Speaker 28: year and the chaos, really but a whole preseason For 1961 01:42:59,507 --> 01:43:01,587 Speaker 28: amerim to try and get his ideas across to a 1962 01:43:01,627 --> 01:43:03,827 Speaker 28: squad that still needs to be. Streamlined they still need 1963 01:43:03,947 --> 01:43:08,507 Speaker 28: to bring get players out of that, club having sanctioned 1964 01:43:08,507 --> 01:43:11,267 Speaker 28: another vast, outlay despite the fact that you, know three 1965 01:43:11,347 --> 01:43:13,587 Speaker 28: months ago they were making The Tea lady, redundant that Old. 1966 01:43:13,627 --> 01:43:16,667 Speaker 28: Trafford now they've spent two hundred million pounds on three 1967 01:43:16,707 --> 01:43:20,467 Speaker 28: new players up. Top so it's it's a strange. Scenario 1968 01:43:20,627 --> 01:43:23,947 Speaker 28: it's a strange. Situation they're not going to be fixed. 1969 01:43:23,947 --> 01:43:25,787 Speaker 28: Overnight that that is a team that is still in. 1970 01:43:25,867 --> 01:43:29,707 Speaker 28: Development even chesch.

Good they spent 2088 01:49:30,467 --> 01:49:32,427 Speaker 28: a lot of, money they could be. 2089 01:49:32,507 --> 01:49:33,907 Speaker 11: Brilliant but we. 2090 01:49:34,067 --> 01:49:36,387 Speaker 28: Should also remember What burnie did two years ago where 2091 01:49:36,387 --> 01:49:37,507 Speaker 28: they spent a similar amount of. 2092 01:49:37,547 --> 01:49:38,027 Speaker 11: Money and. 2093 01:49:39,507 --> 01:49:42,067 Speaker 28: Nose dives straight out of the division again and it 2094 01:49:42,187 --> 01:49:45,347 Speaker 28: was all.

Year they've had the experience 2096 01:49:48,307 --> 01:49:51,467 Speaker 28: of recent relegations and they won't be as expansive and 2097 01:49:51,547 --> 01:49:54,307 Speaker 28: open as they as they were und a incant. Company 2098 01:49:54,467 --> 01:49:56,747 Speaker 28: Scott park will be a lot more down in his 2099 01:49:56,827 --> 01:49:59,507 Speaker 28: approach and that might actually benefit them in terms of getting. 2100 01:49:59,587 --> 01:50:02,787 Speaker 28: RESULTS i don't think it'd be attracted to, watch but 2101 01:50:03,307 --> 01:50:04,907 Speaker 28: they have at least got a bit of.
