1 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,547 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine 2 00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:11,907 Speaker 1: from News Talks, edb. 3 00:00:12,667 --> 00:00:17,347 Speaker 2: And on the Gold Coast. Yesterday, the Warriors get around 4 00:00:17,347 --> 00:00:22,067 Speaker 2: it Top four, Top four the free game winning form 5 00:00:22,107 --> 00:00:22,987 Speaker 2: they've won back to. 6 00:00:22,987 --> 00:00:29,107 Speaker 3: Back weeks are two rocks away for the top four 7 00:00:29,227 --> 00:00:32,827 Speaker 3: finis to Warriors. Not their best win of the season, 8 00:00:34,227 --> 00:00:35,147 Speaker 3: but at this end of. 9 00:00:35,147 --> 00:00:37,107 Speaker 2: The year there was so much to play for. 10 00:00:38,187 --> 00:00:40,587 Speaker 3: Get through, put the points of the beak and march 11 00:00:40,627 --> 00:00:46,147 Speaker 3: on the next week Full time Warriors thirty two the 12 00:00:46,187 --> 00:00:47,827 Speaker 3: Titans eighty Yeah. 13 00:00:48,027 --> 00:00:52,187 Speaker 2: A vintage performance from Roger to Ivasaschek has helped propel 14 00:00:52,227 --> 00:00:55,107 Speaker 2: the Warriors to that thirty two to eighteen win over 15 00:00:55,147 --> 00:00:58,547 Speaker 2: the Titans. He scored two of the warriors five tries, 16 00:00:58,627 --> 00:01:01,907 Speaker 2: allowing them to snap a three game losing streak against 17 00:01:01,947 --> 00:01:04,587 Speaker 2: the Titans, who inexplicably have become a bit of a 18 00:01:04,627 --> 00:01:09,107 Speaker 2: bogie team. For the Warriors, it also consolidates their spot 19 00:01:09,187 --> 00:01:12,227 Speaker 2: in the top four and keeps their destiny in their 20 00:01:12,267 --> 00:01:15,667 Speaker 2: own hands with two games to play before the playoffs. Now, 21 00:01:15,667 --> 00:01:17,907 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if this was certain before yesterday, but 22 00:01:17,947 --> 00:01:20,227 Speaker 2: the Warriors now cannot fall out of the top eight. 23 00:01:20,667 --> 00:01:23,867 Speaker 2: They will be playing playoff football. That might have been 24 00:01:23,907 --> 00:01:26,227 Speaker 2: the case even before they kicked off last night, but 25 00:01:26,387 --> 00:01:29,067 Speaker 2: as I look at the table, they cannot be overtaken 26 00:01:29,467 --> 00:01:31,987 Speaker 2: in the top eight now, so we've got that locked away. 27 00:01:32,027 --> 00:01:35,187 Speaker 2: But the top four will well and truly still be 28 00:01:35,427 --> 00:01:37,507 Speaker 2: in their sights. Ken to open the lines and hear 29 00:01:37,507 --> 00:01:40,027 Speaker 2: from you Warriors fans, but the team is about to 30 00:01:40,067 --> 00:01:44,027 Speaker 2: fly out back to Auckland. Assistant coach Stacy Jones is 31 00:01:44,227 --> 00:01:46,987 Speaker 2: on the line stage. Congratulations on the win last night 32 00:01:46,987 --> 00:01:49,907 Speaker 2: as you wait to fly back. What stands out most 33 00:01:49,907 --> 00:01:51,827 Speaker 2: about the win and about the performance from your team 34 00:01:51,907 --> 00:01:52,307 Speaker 2: last night? 35 00:01:53,067 --> 00:01:56,507 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, hey, Jasons. Yeah, look, I thought we look 36 00:01:56,547 --> 00:02:00,387 Speaker 4: pretty clinical with our attack that's fecially out on the edges, 37 00:02:00,427 --> 00:02:04,267 Speaker 4: and we scored some nice tries. I thought, you know, 38 00:02:04,387 --> 00:02:07,467 Speaker 4: our two edges kick Chase really well, brock Aberry leading 39 00:02:07,507 --> 00:02:09,747 Speaker 4: the leading the way on our right side and Kirk 40 00:02:09,787 --> 00:02:11,747 Speaker 4: Capable on the left side, and the boys went well 41 00:02:11,787 --> 00:02:14,387 Speaker 4: with them. And then you know we forced you know, 42 00:02:14,507 --> 00:02:17,067 Speaker 4: Gold Coast to kick deep with them there in their 43 00:02:17,107 --> 00:02:19,107 Speaker 4: half and our backfield we were able to get some 44 00:02:19,147 --> 00:02:21,427 Speaker 4: really good momentum. So there are two sort of pleasing 45 00:02:21,467 --> 00:02:24,747 Speaker 4: parts of our game. And then defensey, I thought, you know, 46 00:02:24,867 --> 00:02:27,947 Speaker 4: we apart from him scoring in the first few minutes, 47 00:02:27,987 --> 00:02:31,107 Speaker 4: I thought we held our line pretty well for the 48 00:02:31,147 --> 00:02:33,787 Speaker 4: most and you know they were they looked threatening when 49 00:02:34,147 --> 00:02:37,107 Speaker 4: you know they put early Kickson behind us, and and 50 00:02:37,187 --> 00:02:39,067 Speaker 4: maybe when they got an offload on us. But all 51 00:02:39,107 --> 00:02:42,227 Speaker 4: in all, I thought, you know, we defended, defended really well. 52 00:02:42,627 --> 00:02:46,747 Speaker 2: The halves combo, Chanelle and Tanner the general play, they're 53 00:02:46,827 --> 00:02:49,267 Speaker 2: kicking their partnership with one another. Do you reckon that 54 00:02:49,347 --> 00:02:51,587 Speaker 2: was their best performance together this season? 55 00:02:53,347 --> 00:02:56,947 Speaker 4: Yeah? Possibly, Jason. I you know, I haven't quite looked 56 00:02:56,947 --> 00:02:59,027 Speaker 4: at the game closer enough you'd have watched half of it, 57 00:02:59,107 --> 00:03:02,427 Speaker 4: but you know, they both complemented each other really well. 58 00:03:02,427 --> 00:03:07,107 Speaker 4: I thought Tanner voids long long kicking game was spot on, 59 00:03:07,227 --> 00:03:10,227 Speaker 4: and you know Chanelle came up for a couple of 60 00:03:10,267 --> 00:03:12,907 Speaker 4: nice touches too. So you know, having a left footed 61 00:03:12,947 --> 00:03:14,947 Speaker 4: kicker and a right footed kicker certainly gives you some 62 00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:15,827 Speaker 4: good options. 63 00:03:16,147 --> 00:03:18,547 Speaker 2: How big a player is Roger Tivasischek for you? 64 00:03:19,787 --> 00:03:23,467 Speaker 4: Yeah, look, he certainly you know, he found found a 65 00:03:23,467 --> 00:03:25,827 Speaker 4: place from south there on the left wing, and you 66 00:03:25,867 --> 00:03:27,587 Speaker 4: know he's really focused on what he wants and he's 67 00:03:27,867 --> 00:03:30,187 Speaker 4: a good thing about him. You know, he's gone after 68 00:03:30,227 --> 00:03:33,267 Speaker 4: the game. You know, when you know the Tighters were 69 00:03:33,307 --> 00:03:35,187 Speaker 4: kicking the ball back to Atitude was one that was 70 00:03:35,227 --> 00:03:37,187 Speaker 4: getting a lot of a lot of benefits and he 71 00:03:37,227 --> 00:03:39,147 Speaker 4: certainly gets our sets going. And then you know when 72 00:03:39,187 --> 00:03:40,507 Speaker 4: we kicked the ball, he come up to a nice 73 00:03:40,507 --> 00:03:43,267 Speaker 4: play where he contested the ball and got a tap 74 00:03:43,307 --> 00:03:46,827 Speaker 4: back and Adam went over and scored. Sob Rogers, you know, 75 00:03:47,147 --> 00:03:49,387 Speaker 4: I think for the last sut of ten weeks he's 76 00:03:49,427 --> 00:03:50,827 Speaker 4: been one of our best players. 77 00:03:51,267 --> 00:03:53,627 Speaker 2: Can you talk also face about the development and the 78 00:03:53,627 --> 00:03:56,667 Speaker 2: progress that you're seeing in your younger players? 79 00:03:57,347 --> 00:03:59,827 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, really good. You know, I was just sitting 80 00:03:59,827 --> 00:04:01,427 Speaker 4: here with Web and we're talking about some of the 81 00:04:01,467 --> 00:04:03,427 Speaker 4: young kids and what they know they're output in the 82 00:04:03,467 --> 00:04:06,667 Speaker 4: game is you know, Tanasta is starting, you know and 83 00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:10,147 Speaker 4: getting some really good minutes. And then the Metric and 84 00:04:10,427 --> 00:04:13,147 Speaker 4: Lecquer and Eddie ye're a mia come on. And then 85 00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:16,947 Speaker 4: the players that you know have got good insents on them, 86 00:04:16,987 --> 00:04:21,147 Speaker 4: in particular Tanner and and Eddie and Lecker and Dimitric. 87 00:04:21,187 --> 00:04:23,227 Speaker 4: We know about their power and strength, but the other two, 88 00:04:23,787 --> 00:04:26,027 Speaker 4: you know, they played big minutes and you know we 89 00:04:26,747 --> 00:04:30,627 Speaker 4: losing Jackson Board last night. All sorry last week. For 90 00:04:30,827 --> 00:04:32,347 Speaker 4: a few weeks, you know, we thought it can be 91 00:04:32,387 --> 00:04:34,947 Speaker 4: a big loss. But I thought Eddie and Tanner really 92 00:04:34,987 --> 00:04:38,787 Speaker 4: stood up and took places of what Jacko usually does 93 00:04:38,787 --> 00:04:39,267 Speaker 4: for us. 94 00:04:39,787 --> 00:04:41,467 Speaker 2: In terms of the work ons. Do you do you 95 00:04:41,467 --> 00:04:43,387 Speaker 2: look at the lake the two late trice you can 96 00:04:43,427 --> 00:04:44,987 Speaker 2: see it even though the game was signed up by 97 00:04:45,267 --> 00:04:46,587 Speaker 2: by the end. Do you look at that? 98 00:04:47,347 --> 00:04:49,387 Speaker 4: Yeah? Look, yeah, you know we do. You know that 99 00:04:49,507 --> 00:04:51,987 Speaker 4: was disappointing parts of the game for us, but you 100 00:04:52,027 --> 00:04:53,667 Speaker 4: know that's a gold Coast can do. And we knew 101 00:04:53,667 --> 00:04:55,787 Speaker 4: that they were going to move the board, get off 102 00:04:55,827 --> 00:04:58,147 Speaker 4: loads and kick early on us, and you know, and 103 00:04:58,227 --> 00:05:00,387 Speaker 4: it came off and then you know they're they're risky players, 104 00:05:00,387 --> 00:05:03,067 Speaker 4: but they had to do something. But yeah, we're probably 105 00:05:03,747 --> 00:05:05,707 Speaker 4: there's a moment now. I thought we were. We had 106 00:05:05,787 --> 00:05:07,427 Speaker 4: him on the road and we might have thrown a 107 00:05:07,467 --> 00:05:09,507 Speaker 4: loose part and they got and got momentum down the 108 00:05:09,547 --> 00:05:11,267 Speaker 4: other end. So that was the pointy part because we 109 00:05:11,307 --> 00:05:14,947 Speaker 4: could have possible and scored a few more points. 110 00:05:15,307 --> 00:05:17,787 Speaker 2: Did the recent record against the Titans get talked about 111 00:05:17,787 --> 00:05:19,507 Speaker 2: it all in the build up to last night? 112 00:05:20,187 --> 00:05:22,267 Speaker 4: Not at all? No, No, not at all. Yeah, we 113 00:05:22,427 --> 00:05:24,947 Speaker 4: just sort of processed them with what we need to do. 114 00:05:26,187 --> 00:05:28,627 Speaker 4: You know, I think you know, they only probably talked 115 00:05:28,627 --> 00:05:31,867 Speaker 4: around that was probably what you know, you guys were 116 00:05:31,907 --> 00:05:33,827 Speaker 4: saying the media and all of that, you know, the 117 00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:36,987 Speaker 4: outside noisy, but we never mentioned all within our group. 118 00:05:37,627 --> 00:05:39,347 Speaker 2: And I don't know how many key Wes live on 119 00:05:39,347 --> 00:05:41,507 Speaker 2: the Gold Coast, but I think most of them must 120 00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:42,907 Speaker 2: have been there last night. How was the crowd? It 121 00:05:42,987 --> 00:05:43,747 Speaker 2: was like a home game. 122 00:05:44,507 --> 00:05:46,507 Speaker 4: It was unreal. Yeah, it was like a home game. 123 00:05:46,547 --> 00:05:49,907 Speaker 4: It felt like, Yeah, Mount's mart Or GoMedia was unreal 124 00:05:50,307 --> 00:05:56,107 Speaker 4: the sport we had and yeah, boys really really loved 125 00:05:56,107 --> 00:05:58,107 Speaker 4: it and it was a great, great place for the 126 00:05:58,307 --> 00:05:58,707 Speaker 4: last night. 127 00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:01,827 Speaker 2: All right, just to finish.
