1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Made it Goods made State against State Game three State

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: of Origin. Tonight's sports talk host Elliot Smith is or

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: whether that's Blues or the Reds, who's up?

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: I think I'm going the Red side. Moron's obviously got

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: a text from a colleague who's in Brisbane who says,

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 2: absolutely feral at the moment, it's already what ye hang on,

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: it doesn't kick off in six hours away. Yeah, this

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: place is completely nut's Game three one. All the whole

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: city is feral. They've sold out of Queensland jerseys in

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: the whole city other than kid sizes. So it's all

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: set for a decider. And to be honest, I don't

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: think the series has been that great to this point year.

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 2: We're heading to a decider tonight, but there is nice

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: to have a decided it is right, but both games

15
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: have been blowouts on its side so far, so look,

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: let's go have a close contest. Tonight lives up to

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: the expectation absolutely because I guess Origin needs it. It

18
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: probably doesn't hold the same hold that maybe it had ten, fifteen,

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: twenty years ago, but it's still activating, I think, so.

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, maybe this is a personal view, but

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, perhaps to compete to my interest that

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: was ten years ago, not quite there. And I think

23
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: it's because a lot of the Kiwi players are actually

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: you know, world class and they're not obviously playing origin.

25
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: See you take them out and yeah, it's gonna be

26
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: good tonight though, that'll be great.

27
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially in Queensland.

28
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: My goodness.

29
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: The White Fern's summer schedule is through, so New Zealand

30
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: Cricket has announced six in bound tours.

31
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: Across the Black black Caps as well, so forty one

32
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: potential days of international cricket, which isn't too bad. We

33
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: already knew the Test dates. They've got three against England

34
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: which are really for me the standout.

35
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 1: And there all before Christmas.

36
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: Before Christmas here it starts late November, so three across Wellington,

37
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: christ chich Hamilton and then we get into a lot

38
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: of white bull cricket for the rest of the same.

39
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: In fact, there's normal tests after that, so it's all

40
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: test cricket before Christmas and then we're into the white

41
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: ball format. I guess for the Black Caps it's about

42
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: rebuilding after that T twenty World Cup horror show where

43
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: they didn't get out of their group and a little

44
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: bit of rebuild with Came Williamson stepping away from the

45
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: captain c So they're gonna have Sri Lanka just after

46
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: Christmas and then over to Pakistan for the champions trophy

47
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: back again and Pakistan's back here, so the White fans

48
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: have Sri Lanka and Australia to welcome to these shores

49
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: as well. So look, look, always a good day when

50
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: the schedule comes out, so like little just trying to

51
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: figure out one because the weather's better than here. But

52
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: so just you know, looking at the international summer and

53
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: hopefully getting to a game.

54
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah three now very good. And Gareth Southgate has announced

55
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: he's going to stand down as England's football manager.

56
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting to see where his legacy will sort

57
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: of lie because they're famously not won anything since nineteen

58
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: sixty six. But he's the manager that has gotten closer

59
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: than ever before two European Championship finals ultimately didn't win

60
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: either of them this year and four years ago, so

61
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: he's got them closer, but he hasn't quite got them

62
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: to the pomis Land and for English football fans that's

63
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: still obviously not good enough and there's been criticism about

64
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: his style and the way that they play under Garri Southgate.

65
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: They got some great players, you know, Phil Foden jubelling

66
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: him at the moment, some generational players that maybe just

67
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: aren't being unleashed in the way that you'd want them

68
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: to an international level. So he's going to step aside.

69
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: Someone's going to step in. I don't know who is yet,

70
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: but he's waving goodbye.

71
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,000
