Ryan Gerdler played over two hundred games for 0:03:21.307 --> 0:03:23.707 the Panthers. He was an NRL champion with them in 0:03:23.747 --> 0:03:27.267 two thousand and three.

Ryan, 0:03:39.827 --> 0:03:43.587 thanks for your time, how impressive. Was that Warriors performance 0:03:43.747 --> 0:03:45.667 against the competition leaders? 0:03:46.267 --> 0:03:49.827 Well, yeah, I think you certainly put the competition on notice. 0:03:51.387 --> 0:03:53.187 I think we've all been sort of speaking all year 0:03:53.187 --> 0:03:57.067 about the importance of those guys finishing one or two 0:03:57.187 --> 0:04:00.867 so they get some finals at Mount Smart and I 0:04:00.987 --> 0:04:02.867 sort of watched it. Obviously, sorry for the noise on 0:04:02.947 --> 0:04:06.947 at the airport about to go home, but obviously see it, 0:04:07.307 --> 0:04:10.107 you know, on a weekly basis, the crowd and the 0:04:10.267 --> 0:04:13.547 energy that they bring and the performance out there Mount Smart. 0:04:13.627 --> 0:04:15.867 But to be their live was something that was really 0:04:15.907 --> 0:04:19.227 good to experience. And now I really understand what they mean. 0:04:19.267 --> 0:04:21.387 If they can get a couple of home finals, they're 0:04:21.387 --> 0:04:22.307 going to be very hard to be. 0:04:22.787 --> 0:04:24.907 What was it about the Warriors last night that gave 0:04:24.947 --> 0:04:25.467 them the edge? 0:04:27.267 --> 0:04:31.387 I think like their physicality, their intensity obviously you know, 0:04:31.547 --> 0:04:34.667 being indigenous round and the cultural aspect of it. And 0:04:34.787 --> 0:04:37.187 to see the guys, you know, or the Marry guys 0:04:37.307 --> 0:04:39.587 sort of performed the Harker beforehand, and you just saw 0:04:40.067 --> 0:04:42.227 how that engaged the crowd. It kind of reminded me 0:04:42.307 --> 0:04:46.947 of like a test match. And then from there, you know, 0:04:47.107 --> 0:04:49.147 the onset they were just really physical. I thought they 0:04:49.147 --> 0:04:52.147 were led really well by obviously Barnett, but I thought 0:04:52.267 --> 0:04:55.147 James last night, which is exceptional, especially in those moments 0:04:55.187 --> 0:04:57.347 where the momentums going back to Penrith there in the 0:04:57.387 --> 0:05:01.507 second half, some of his leadership there was there for 0:05:01.587 --> 0:05:05.027 all to see. And obviously, you know, I think they've 0:05:05.067 --> 0:05:10.267 been really they looked really settled with their attacking structures. 0:05:10.267 --> 0:05:12.867 I thought they were great last week against the Titans, 0:05:12.867 --> 0:05:15.547 obviously with that win, but I don't know, they just 0:05:15.587 --> 0:05:20.707 seemed to be all full of confidence and really well 0:05:20.787 --> 0:05:23.267 connected and they got great balance. 0:05:23.427 --> 0:05:25.227 So it was just ann out Stephen. 0:05:25.267 --> 0:05:28.427 Though Pentrath made a little bit of a push at 0:05:28.467 --> 0:05:30.347 the later part of the game. I thought they were 0:05:30.427 --> 0:05:33.827 just always in complete control and they were really impressive. 0:05:34.147 --> 0:05:36.307 And into the mix, of course came Luke Metcalf who 0:05:36.347 --> 0:05:39.067 hasn't played for quite a long time. Looked like he'd 0:05:39.587 --> 0:05:42.107 never been away. A couple of tries, good kicking game, 0:05:42.187 --> 0:05:45.307 plenty of confidence. How much did he impress you last night? 0:05:46.307 --> 0:05:46.507 Yeah? 0:05:46.667 --> 0:05:48.907 Look, you know, I think it was over four hundred 0:05:48.987 --> 0:05:52.267 days since he played halfback, so obviously been playing a 0:05:52.307 --> 0:05:54.067 little bit of five eighth and I know that there's 0:05:54.827 --> 0:05:57.187 a similar role, but he went into that first receiver 0:05:58.067 --> 0:06:00.707 role last night and did a great job. You spoke about, 0:06:00.947 --> 0:06:03.987 you know, the tries that he scored and the impact 0:06:04.027 --> 0:06:06.147 he had with the football, but it was you know, 0:06:06.387 --> 0:06:11.147 he's kicking game and his maturity and his decision defensively 0:06:11.227 --> 0:06:12.987 and all the little parts of his game that I 0:06:13.267 --> 0:06:14.947 was really impressed with last night as well. 0:06:15.067 --> 0:06:17.707 So, yeah, it's going to be great for you guys. 0:06:17.507 --> 0:06:20.827 To have him pushing into the finals like a Hello Sema. 0:06:20.987 --> 0:06:24.347 He keeps producing moments to excite people both sides of 0:06:24.427 --> 0:06:26.267 the Talnsman, do you see him becoming one of the 0:06:26.387 --> 0:06:28.987 real genuine styles of the NRL over the next couple 0:06:28.987 --> 0:06:29.307 of years? 0:06:30.027 --> 0:06:30.827 Oh, look, I can't. 0:06:30.907 --> 0:06:32.827 I can't see why not. You know, like he's got 0:06:32.827 --> 0:06:34.947 all the attributes, doesn't he. And last night, you know 0:06:35.187 --> 0:06:38.107 some of those the chases he put through with the 0:06:38.187 --> 0:06:41.507 kicks and then the acrobatics in the air. So just 0:06:41.707 --> 0:06:44.427 always seeing different parts of his game and his development 0:06:44.547 --> 0:06:47.267 and obviously that run out of trouble and then setting 0:06:47.347 --> 0:06:49.067 up the try in the same set of six. So 0:06:49.547 --> 0:06:51.787 he had a massive impact in the game last night. 0:06:51.867 --> 0:06:55.987 And he's a big physical guy and you know it 0:06:56.187 --> 0:06:59.667 just could be a guy that could just be, you know, 0:06:59.827 --> 0:07:03.147 the star power that you guys need in those big 0:07:03.227 --> 0:07:06.147 games in the finals, when someone's got to pull something 0:07:06.187 --> 0:07:08.467 out of the out of the out of the kit bag, 0:07:08.587 --> 0:07:10.027 he might just be the guy to do that. With 0:07:10.147 --> 0:07:12.387 the confidency out of the moment, we've. 0:07:12.187 --> 0:07:15.507 Become used to seeing Penrith finding another gear when they're behind. 0:07:16.067 --> 0:07:17.427 Did you think they were going to mount one of 0:07:17.507 --> 0:07:19.667 their trademark comebacks last night? 0:07:20.667 --> 0:07:23.627 Yeah, well not really, to be honest, Like, I thought 0:07:23.667 --> 0:07:26.067 the Warriors were in complete control of that one. Obviously, 0:07:26.147 --> 0:07:28.147 there was that ten or so minutes where they had 0:07:28.187 --> 0:07:29.787 a little bit of possession. They came up with some 0:07:29.907 --> 0:07:33.227 points and Nathan sort of pulled the trigger. But as 0:07:33.267 --> 0:07:36.467 soon as that tried to I think it was alimony 0:07:36.627 --> 0:07:38.347 was disallowed because they were offside. 0:07:38.547 --> 0:07:39.707 I thought that court of the. 0:07:39.707 --> 0:07:41.307 Air went out of the balloon. Then I think the 0:07:41.387 --> 0:07:43.347 Warriors and their fans were getting a little bit nervous. 0:07:43.387 --> 0:07:46.427 But but it was fleeting, you know that. I thought 0:07:46.427 --> 0:07:48.147 they were in complete control the whole night. 0:07:48.187 --> 0:07:52.147 Actually is a going off with the pectoral injury. If 0:07:52.187 --> 0:07:54.947 he's unavailable for an extended period, Ryan, how much does 0:07:55.027 --> 0:07:57.667 that change Penrith's premiership outlook? 0:07:58.387 --> 0:08:00.347 Oh, it definitely does. You know, like there's only a 0:08:00.387 --> 0:08:03.147 certain amount of players, you know, in each team that 0:08:03.227 --> 0:08:05.147 can have that sort of impact, and him and Nathan 0:08:05.187 --> 0:08:08.627 and those guys, I would say at Penrith, and he's 0:08:08.627 --> 0:08:10.347 a big part of their attacking structures. 0:08:10.347 --> 0:08:11.507 He allows their. 0:08:11.427 --> 0:08:13.867 Halves just to get that little bit wider and obviously 0:08:13.947 --> 0:08:17.627 he's a great leader, great defensively and he's a big 0:08:17.707 --> 0:08:20.747 part of what they do. So if he's out, it 0:08:20.907 --> 0:08:22.267 certainly brings them back to the field. 0:08:23.027 --> 0:08:25.667 Panthers worry is the Roosters won last night. The Sharks 0:08:25.667 --> 0:08:28.187 will probably beat the Dragons. This is some top four race, 0:08:28.267 --> 0:08:28.507 isn't it. 0:08:29.427 --> 0:08:31.427 Yeah, it's turning into a nice one. I think at 0:08:31.467 --> 0:08:33.867 the halfway make everyone was a little bit worried that 0:08:33.947 --> 0:08:36.067 the Penrith side were that good they were going to 0:08:36.187 --> 0:08:38.307 kind of blow everyone away and it was a one 0:08:38.347 --> 0:08:40.507 horse race. But I think we're seeing that, you know, 0:08:40.667 --> 0:08:44.267 these other sides growing in confidence, and the Sharks are 0:08:44.627 --> 0:08:47.587 mounting what looks like a really good finals push as well. 0:08:47.667 --> 0:08:49.787 And the Roosters where they I had a look at 0:08:49.827 --> 0:08:51.907 the back end of their game last night. They found 0:08:51.947 --> 0:08:54.427 a way to win against the Bulldogs, who were also 0:08:55.107 --> 0:08:56.587 making a little bit of a push at the bottom 0:08:56.627 --> 0:08:58.347 part of the A so it's going to be a 0:08:58.507 --> 0:09:00.227 very interesting final series as always. 0:09:00.427 --> 0:09:02.267 Great to have you here for this one, Ryan, hope 0:09:02.267 --> 0:09:04.627 we can welcome you back for a finals game or two. Mate. 0:09:05.187 --> 0:09:07.987 Well maybe, yeah, it looks like I'll be coming back 0:09:08.027 --> 0:09:10.187 over and then obviously I'll be part of the Origin 0:09:10.267 --> 0:09:13.427 push next year at when we come over at Eton Park, 0:09:13.467 --> 0:09:14.827 which is going to be exciting as well. 0:09:15.027 --> 0:09:17.547 Outstanding. Hey, great to chat. May travel safe. Really appreciate 0:09:17.587 --> 0:09:18.147 your time. 0:09:18.507 --> 0:09:21.427 My pleasure and enjoy the rest of the season with 0:09:21.507 --> 0:09:23.307 the Warriors and I wish them all the best. 0:09:23.387 --> 0:09:25.227 Thanks very much, indeed, Ryan, good to talk to you, mate, 0:09:25.307 --> 0:09:29.827 Ryan Girdler There, Penrith Panthers Legend Warriors assistant coach SLAVEH. 0:09:29.827 --> 0:09:31.947 Griffin is with us before one o'clock time though, for 0:09:32.027 --> 0:09:35.107 your calls now at twelve sixteen oh eight hundred and 0:09:35.147 --> 0:09:40.627 eighty ten eighty. The Warriors are real. They are genuine 0:09:41.587 --> 0:09:46.187 NRL contenders. On that evidence, they can beat any team 0:09:46.347 --> 0:09:49.627 on any given night. The Panthers are the NRL benchmark. 0:09:49.667 --> 0:09:52.587 Before last night, they had lost fewer games than anybody 0:09:52.627 --> 0:09:55.867 else this season. They've scored more points than anybody else 0:09:55.907 --> 0:09:59.547 the Panthers and conceded fewer than anyone else. They hadn't 0:09:59.587 --> 0:10:04.227 lost to the Warriors in Auckland since twenty eighteen. For 0:10:04.307 --> 0:10:06.987 the Warriors to beat them and to produce that first 0:10:07.107 --> 0:10:09.867 half that they did tells you everything you need to 0:10:09.987 --> 0:10:14.427 know about the Warriors. They can go all the way. 0:10:15.987 --> 0:10:20.067 Luke Metcalf doesn't matter how it happened, he's back. He's 0:10:20.147 --> 0:10:23.307 had to be extremely patient, but last night was a 0:10:23.347 --> 0:10:27.107 reminder of what a quality rugby league player he is. 0:10:27.667 --> 0:10:30.587 To Mighty Martin's been really good, really good since taking 0:10:30.627 --> 0:10:34.187 over from Tanner Boyd. But Luke Metcalf is a very 0:10:34.307 --> 0:10:37.627 special rugby league player and yes he may be wearing 0:10:37.667 --> 0:10:40.427 different colors next year, but for the next two months 0:10:41.147 --> 0:10:45.467 he is a warrior and he could well be the 0:10:45.707 --> 0:10:51.627 key warrior. Others to stand out Aaron Clark absolute machine, 0:10:52.187 --> 0:10:56.787 My god, what a player, James Fisher, Harris, what a leader. 0:10:57.267 --> 0:11:00.427 Lack of hallisima. That kid could be anything he wants. 0:11:01.987 --> 0:11:05.347 The NRL Minor Premiership is a four horse race. Panthers 0:11:05.387 --> 0:11:08.427 thirty six, Roosters, thirty six Warriors thirty four. As I 0:11:08.507 --> 0:11:10.867 said to Ryan Girdler, the Sharks will probably beat the 0:11:10.907 --> 0:11:13.467 Dragons and move to thirty four, so it'll be thirty six, 0:11:13.587 --> 0:11:16.147 thirty six, thirty four to thirty four. After that, everybody 0:11:16.187 --> 0:11:19.467 will have four games to go. The Warriors have the 0:11:19.507 --> 0:11:22.587 Broncos away, the rabbit O's away, the Knights at home, 0:11:22.627 --> 0:11:26.227 the Sea Eagles at home. Those teams are currently sixteenth, eighth, 0:11:26.507 --> 0:11:30.107 sixth and tenth. Those games are all winnable, but in 0:11:30.187 --> 0:11:34.427 the NRL every game is losable as well. The Warriors 0:11:34.467 --> 0:11:36.747 lost to the Tigers in the early part of the season. 0:11:36.787 --> 0:11:39.587 They lost the Bulldogs two weeks ago. Nothing is guaranteed, 0:11:40.387 --> 0:11:44.027 but it is hard not to get excited about what 0:11:44.187 --> 0:11:49.507 this team can do could do between now and early October. 0:11:50.707 --> 0:11:55.427 All aboard oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty calls 0:11:55.427 --> 0:11:57.787 stacking up Alan High Here. 0:11:57.667 --> 0:12:01.747 Good afternoon, Jason. Look that when last night you can 0:12:01.867 --> 0:12:04.827 put that down to the Fords. It was the most 0:12:04.987 --> 0:12:09.427 magnificent forward display I've seen for a long long time. 0:12:10.107 --> 0:12:14.947 They absolutely dominated and the key to it is that 0:12:15.107 --> 0:12:19.947 somebody like Metcalf can do what he did without the 0:12:20.107 --> 0:12:25.947 Fords putting in the groundwork. Luke Metcalf doesn't fire. Think 0:12:26.027 --> 0:12:29.307 about this, Think about this, Luke Metcalf did most of 0:12:29.347 --> 0:12:31.907 the damage going up the center of the paddock. How 0:12:31.987 --> 0:12:35.907 many times did our two wingers, Lesniak and carn Perreira 0:12:36.507 --> 0:12:39.627 actually have a run with the ball where they weren't 0:12:40.027 --> 0:12:44.267 taking it up? They just the game was played in 0:12:44.387 --> 0:12:47.107 the center of the paddock, and our forwards were just 0:12:47.467 --> 0:12:55.107 magnificent and capable. Laban and Barnett, they topped the tackle 0:12:55.187 --> 0:12:59.987 count for US. Laban made forty six tackles as well 0:13:00.027 --> 0:13:04.547 as taking it up. It just Laban and Kirk Capble 0:13:05.227 --> 0:13:07.907 were the quiet ones on the paddock last night, and 0:13:08.107 --> 0:13:12.427 yet they rolled their sleeves up and they did magnificently 0:13:13.787 --> 0:13:17.107 in an area where the spotlight really shines on rugby league. 0:13:17.587 --> 0:13:20.027 And I just thought it was the most complete performance 0:13:20.067 --> 0:13:21.027 by the Fords I've seen. 0:13:22.307 --> 0:13:24.347 Wonderful stuff Ow and yeah Capewell and Laban, I mean, 0:13:24.387 --> 0:13:27.467 what a second row, you know? And look Capewell, I think, yeah, 0:13:27.627 --> 0:13:30.307 you're right. Sometimes I think Laban probably more than Capewell, 0:13:30.387 --> 0:13:33.467 goes unnoticed. Capewell had that heads up play when he 0:13:33.507 --> 0:13:35.347 said he got the short pass from Metcalf and then 0:13:35.627 --> 0:13:38.067 gave it back to him for Luke Metcaw's first try. 0:13:38.467 --> 0:13:41.387 But you're right. I mean, I've just got the list here. Fisher, Harris, Egan, 0:13:41.467 --> 0:13:44.547 Barney at Capewell, Laban Clark, that's the starting forward pack. 0:13:45.027 --> 0:13:48.067 All tremendous last night, All utterly tremendous. 0:13:49.307 --> 0:13:54.547 Yes, I honestly, and I liked Nicol Klodstadt at the back. 0:13:55.067 --> 0:13:57.427 He's got a different game to Taw Picky. We know that, 0:13:57.667 --> 0:14:01.787 and I have nothing against Tower Picky. But doesn't Clodstead 0:14:02.147 --> 0:14:06.307 suit a Ford sort of game because he's a full back. 0:14:06.947 --> 0:14:11.027 It's not fancy, but he gets yards. He gets the 0:14:11.147 --> 0:14:13.747 start of the set of six off to a good 0:14:13.867 --> 0:14:16.627 start where it were generally with a very good run 0:14:16.667 --> 0:14:21.667 where he'll make some sufficient yards to start getting everybody 0:14:21.787 --> 0:14:25.387 back on side, and he's reliable at the back. I 0:14:25.587 --> 0:14:28.867 just think that he's different from two of us a check. 0:14:28.947 --> 0:14:32.987 We know that, but his style suits our game at 0:14:33.027 --> 0:14:34.467 the moment. Right down the line. 0:14:35.187 --> 0:14:38.267 Good man, Ellen, good points. Well, my great call to 0:14:38.347 --> 0:14:40.347 kick us off things today. Man, Let's talk again soon, 0:14:40.467 --> 0:14:42.587 Alick Hi Piney. 0:14:42.707 --> 0:14:43.187 How's the game? 0:14:43.227 --> 0:14:43.467 Brother? 0:14:43.747 --> 0:14:45.707 All right? What a game? 0:14:46.587 --> 0:14:47.707 What a game? Last night? 0:14:47.827 --> 0:14:48.027 Brother? 0:14:48.227 --> 0:14:51.387 Jesus out of my seat. The first forty minutes was 0:14:51.507 --> 0:14:53.067 just unbelievable. 0:14:53.867 --> 0:14:54.347 For the boys. 0:14:54.387 --> 0:14:56.267 I think it's just started from their hucke a pointy. 0:14:57.667 --> 0:14:59.347 I didn't even know that that was going to happen, 0:14:59.467 --> 0:15:02.267 but yeah, you could just see that the boys got 0:15:02.347 --> 0:15:06.507 up for it, even just that that first kickoff at 0:15:06.547 --> 0:15:10.307 first set, they were just hammering the Penrith boys. Penmouth 0:15:10.427 --> 0:15:13.947 just couldn't get out do nothing. And then I mean, 0:15:14.267 --> 0:15:16.747 you know, the likes of Luke Metcalfe and the backs, 0:15:16.827 --> 0:15:19.787 they just rode those the Fords, you know, because the 0:15:19.867 --> 0:15:22.107 Fords la laid that platform for the boys. So it 0:15:22.267 --> 0:15:24.627 was it was just a great performance, especially that that 0:15:24.787 --> 0:15:27.427 first forty, probably the best first forty I've seen us 0:15:27.507 --> 0:15:29.827 play for for ages really I. 0:15:29.907 --> 0:15:32.227 Agree, I agree, And often we worried, don't we about 0:15:32.267 --> 0:15:34.587 their start, and their start isn't always great. 0:15:34.587 --> 0:15:34.707 You know. 0:15:34.827 --> 0:15:36.267 Sometimes you look up and all of a sudden, that's 0:15:36.267 --> 0:15:38.587 ten Niel to the other team any man like man. 0:15:38.627 --> 0:15:41.067 Our guys aren't there yet, but that haka and as 0:15:41.107 --> 0:15:43.027 I understand it, and got Slag Griffin on later in 0:15:43.067 --> 0:15:44.747 the hour, I'll ask can but I think James Fisher 0:15:44.787 --> 0:15:47.387 Harris was the driving force behind that, and you could 0:15:47.387 --> 0:15:49.947 see the you know, the Moldi and Pacific Island boys there, 0:15:49.947 --> 0:15:52.267 but everyone else behind them as well, the Australian guys 0:15:52.627 --> 0:15:54.867 just I mean, honestly they I think Luke Metcalf said 0:15:54.907 --> 0:15:56.907 afterwards he wanted to jump in and even though he 0:15:56.947 --> 0:15:59.587 didn't really know that, he wanted to be a pardon good. 0:16:01.467 --> 0:16:03.547 Yeah, yeah, I was brilliant and I was just good 0:16:03.547 --> 0:16:05.947 to see Luke Beck, you know, misus bort his time, 0:16:06.027 --> 0:16:09.027 and obviously with the injury to Mighty coming up and 0:16:09.107 --> 0:16:12.587 then man come with the man cometh the hour, you know, Jesus, 0:16:13.427 --> 0:16:14.227 it's just so good. 0:16:14.267 --> 0:16:14.787 Good for us. 0:16:15.107 --> 0:16:17.987 We've got a deep squad, you know, and I'm just 0:16:18.067 --> 0:16:21.227 excited to see the boys running to the playoffs. I mean, 0:16:21.347 --> 0:16:23.067 obviously it would have been good last night if the 0:16:23.107 --> 0:16:26.547 Bulldogs pip those Roosters, but they just just got outdone. Really, 0:16:26.707 --> 0:16:30.227 so next week's game Tens's Roosters is going to be 0:16:30.267 --> 0:16:33.027 a good one. And then obviously for us, we've still 0:16:33.027 --> 0:16:35.147 got to take take care of what we've got to 0:16:35.187 --> 0:16:35.587 do as well. 0:16:35.667 --> 0:16:39.707 Pointy, Indeed, Alick, indeed, it's hard not to get excited. 0:16:39.747 --> 0:16:41.587 I can feel it in your voice, mate, it's bubbling, 0:16:41.667 --> 0:16:45.707 it's bubbling, and rightly so, Maly, Yeah, all right, let's 0:16:45.747 --> 0:16:48.667 talk again soon as this run and continues and then 0:16:48.707 --> 0:16:50.987 into the finals. Good to hear from you, Alick. Good 0:16:51.027 --> 0:16:53.787 to get the enthusiasm out there. This is what you're 0:16:53.787 --> 0:16:56.987 supposed to do when your team wins. You're supposed to 0:16:57.067 --> 0:16:59.787 be excited about it. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten 0:16:59.947 --> 0:17:02.547 eighty is our number. Paul, You were there, won't you. 0:17:02.627 --> 0:17:02.787 Paul? 0:17:02.827 --> 0:17:04.307 You told me last week you were going down for 0:17:04.387 --> 0:17:04.707 this one. 0:17:06.467 --> 0:17:08.907 Yeah, I'm final. Yep, you know, well, we were there, 0:17:09.787 --> 0:17:16.267 just heading back up more at the moment, the atmosphere 0:17:16.267 --> 0:17:18.027 in the stadium was out of his world. Finding it 0:17:18.147 --> 0:17:19.987 was absolutely amazing. 0:17:19.667 --> 0:17:24.067 Than Yeah, yeah, you just wrent into into a dark 0:17:24.107 --> 0:17:25.667 spot there. But I think we got what you were 0:17:25.707 --> 0:17:28.667 saying so before the game when when the hacker was 0:17:28.747 --> 0:17:31.507 on and it just seemed, as you said, as though 0:17:31.547 --> 0:17:33.867 the energy was up even more than it normally. Is 0:17:33.907 --> 0:17:36.027 there a gaire? I know you've been there a few times. 0:17:36.347 --> 0:17:39.547 Did it feel demonstrably just more of a vibe there 0:17:39.627 --> 0:17:40.107 last night? 0:17:42.907 --> 0:17:47.027 Absolutely. I've always said I can generally tell whether the 0:17:47.107 --> 0:17:51.587 wars are on when they come out, you know, for 0:17:51.667 --> 0:17:53.267 the warm up, and when they when they first get 0:17:53.307 --> 0:17:55.427 out in the first five or ten minutes, you can 0:17:55.587 --> 0:17:59.627 generally tell when any team is on and that it 0:17:59.747 --> 0:18:02.987 seems more so this year. That first ten twenty minutes 0:18:03.027 --> 0:18:06.027 of a game. Now is you know the team that 0:18:06.427 --> 0:18:09.107 mon eight or it's on the front foot and can 0:18:09.187 --> 0:18:11.547 tell of the blocks really quick. It's the team that 0:18:11.787 --> 0:18:14.587 generally wins the game. And we saw last week against 0:18:14.587 --> 0:18:18.147 the Bulldogs. The Boos did that to us, and we 0:18:18.227 --> 0:18:20.707 did that to the Panthers last night. You've got to 0:18:20.747 --> 0:18:23.427 come out firing straight away. And it was just such 0:18:23.467 --> 0:18:24.347 a such a good. 0:18:24.267 --> 0:18:27.147 Game, mate, Charms and fall back. You would have enjoyed 0:18:27.147 --> 0:18:29.187 saying that. I can't remember you're a fan of him 0:18:29.187 --> 0:18:30.267 in the one jersey, aren't you? 0:18:32.547 --> 0:18:32.747 Yeah? 0:18:32.747 --> 0:18:33.587 I am, I am. 0:18:34.467 --> 0:18:35.947 It's a tough one because you know, we all know 0:18:36.027 --> 0:18:38.507 how good Taint is. But what a replacement to bring 0:18:38.587 --> 0:18:42.267 in a Chance the guys who have been here for 0:18:42.347 --> 0:18:45.747 a while, the leaders, you know, Charns and Dellan an 0:18:45.787 --> 0:18:49.187 absolutely amazing game last night. He was everywhere. A few 0:18:49.267 --> 0:18:51.347 times he even went over to the other side of 0:18:51.467 --> 0:18:54.027 the field and took the ball up. He was so 0:18:54.227 --> 0:18:56.707 fired up. And James obviously stood up last night. And 0:18:58.307 --> 0:19:01.787 I do like Chance at four, but He's just he's fearless, mate, 0:19:01.907 --> 0:19:03.987 He's fearless and that's what we want here. 0:19:04.787 --> 0:19:07.867 What was it like afterwards? You know, it just feels 0:19:07.867 --> 0:19:10.147 as though that crowd loves the Warrior's were and they 0:19:10.227 --> 0:19:13.187 love a warrior's game. But what is it like when 0:19:13.227 --> 0:19:15.947 that whistle blows that song has sung a lot of 0:19:15.987 --> 0:19:18.027 the players stay out, don't they to sign and to 0:19:18.227 --> 0:19:20.387 have selfies and stuff. What's it like after a win 0:19:20.587 --> 0:19:20.787 like that? 0:19:22.907 --> 0:19:23.067 Yeah? 0:19:23.187 --> 0:19:25.307 Well, I sang to a mate, you know, I said 0:19:25.347 --> 0:19:28.987 to him on the way down, I said, you know, 0:19:29.027 --> 0:19:30.867 are we going to be seeing this king song tonight 0:19:30.947 --> 0:19:32.907 or are we going to be one of those treated 0:19:33.707 --> 0:19:36.467 drive home drives home when you're a bit sad. But 0:19:37.627 --> 0:19:40.707 that's absolutely fantastic to sing the song. Everyone stays around 0:19:40.787 --> 0:19:44.307 and you see familiar faces. Everyone loves the wars. 0:19:44.107 --> 0:19:44.627 At the ground. 0:19:44.667 --> 0:19:47.227 It's just it's a huge family, that's all I can 0:19:47.627 --> 0:19:51.587 describe it as a huge family, and the atmospheres out 0:19:51.627 --> 0:19:53.547 of this world and they do it so well. There 0:19:53.667 --> 0:19:57.107 go media. I was saying to Jerry Cuss, who I 0:19:57.227 --> 0:19:59.347 caught up with him watching the new Southwest Cup game. 0:19:59.387 --> 0:20:02.547 I said to him, you know, the Warriors about grow 0:20:02.627 --> 0:20:04.947 in the stadium. You know, it was twenty five thousand 0:20:04.947 --> 0:20:06.707 and then they sell it out all the time. I 0:20:06.787 --> 0:20:09.227 can't even see that changing. And you know we we 0:20:09.547 --> 0:20:12.107 we need another ten thousand seats here or something. So 0:20:12.347 --> 0:20:14.027 you're definitely helped growing that stadium. 0:20:15.427 --> 0:20:17.587 How did Jet Cleary look in the New Southwest Cup game? 0:20:18.787 --> 0:20:18.907 Oh? 0:20:19.027 --> 0:20:19.427 No, he was. 0:20:19.587 --> 0:20:21.507 He was fantastic. You know, nextually, I love to think 0:20:21.507 --> 0:20:24.707 one is the depth. You know, can a boy met 0:20:25.347 --> 0:20:28.827 you know Tomnie Martin and watching Kit play in the 0:20:28.907 --> 0:20:31.987 New Southlast Cup. He was brilliant, mate, he's brilliant and 0:20:32.147 --> 0:20:34.947 he he's another one coming through. So next man up 0:20:35.027 --> 0:20:39.307 mentality and it's looking good for for next year. But 0:20:40.027 --> 0:20:42.987 just looking at this year, you know all the commentators 0:20:43.147 --> 0:20:45.747 and ex scripts over there, they picked the Wars and 0:20:46.227 --> 0:20:49.667 you know they're a dangerous team, and yeah, who knows 0:20:49.707 --> 0:20:51.307 this could be a year. Mate, Let's hope. 0:20:52.027 --> 0:20:55.587 Let's hope. Don't don't book anything unmovable into the diary 0:20:55.667 --> 0:20:58.587 for the next two months, Paul, unless it's Warriors. Ride 0:20:58.627 --> 0:21:01.347 and drive safe, mate, Always good to Jet you twelve 0:21:01.427 --> 0:21:03.267 twenty seven, eight hundred and eighty ten out You got 0:21:03.347 --> 0:21:04.907 to get a break away back after this with more 0:21:05.227 --> 0:21:07.147 of your warrior's calls. Spear line there if you want 0:21:07.147 --> 0:21:09.747 to jump aboard. Although they are being taken up fairly quickly, 0:21:09.787 --> 0:21:12.147 everybody wants to talk. The Magnificent is backing the O. 0:21:12.307 --> 0:21:16.027 On Weekend Sport, the scoreboard only tells half the story. 0:21:16.227 --> 0:21:20.027 Piney tells the rest Weekend Sport with Jason Vine and 0:21:20.227 --> 0:21:23.627 the outi Q seven Dynamic Black Runout Edition Test Drive 0:21:23.787 --> 0:21:25.387 today Newstalks EDB. 0:21:25.947 --> 0:21:29.987 Twelve thirty on Newstalks EDB Jason. That was a championship 0:21:30.027 --> 0:21:31.867 winning match. Great to watch. I think we can start 0:21:31.907 --> 0:21:35.347 believing again. I agree. I agree with that text, Hi, Jason. 0:21:35.547 --> 0:21:38.187 The Panthers points were scored while Wade Egan was off 0:21:38.507 --> 0:21:42.387 with an HIA. How important is he? Very important? And 0:21:42.747 --> 0:21:46.027 Dicky says Egan was the puppet master in the middle. 0:21:46.387 --> 0:21:49.907 His passing game was outstanding. Couldn't agree more. Frank High, 0:21:49.907 --> 0:21:50.707 you would have enjoyed that. 0:21:52.067 --> 0:21:56.947 Yes, I'm still up there. Yeah, my flag is flying high. 0:21:59.027 --> 0:22:02.267 As I said in the first game about the swallow 0:22:02.427 --> 0:22:05.787 one swallowing up, doesn't it make a summer? I can 0:22:05.867 --> 0:22:11.187 actually say the materializing now this that game that they 0:22:11.347 --> 0:22:14.427 played with gains the Titans. I think that was the 0:22:14.507 --> 0:22:17.587 one that was a catalyst for I think this is 0:22:17.667 --> 0:22:21.227 going to be a terrific run home. That gave them 0:22:21.347 --> 0:22:26.227 the confidence that I don't think they actually they actually had. 0:22:26.307 --> 0:22:28.747 They knew they could do it. They had the debts, 0:22:29.107 --> 0:22:31.987 they had, the family had the power, they had the speed, 0:22:32.707 --> 0:22:36.467 they hadn't actually put it together to given them that 0:22:36.907 --> 0:22:39.907 bull and that confidence. And that was the That was 0:22:39.987 --> 0:22:44.027 the catalyst that Titans game. That that's given that that 0:22:44.347 --> 0:22:50.507 that forward motion. Now and I'm predicting that I don't 0:22:50.547 --> 0:22:52.547 think it's going to be the Panther's final. I think 0:22:52.587 --> 0:22:56.987 we're going to I think it's going to be a 0:22:59.467 --> 0:23:03.227 I think it's going to be a Warrior's Roosters final. 0:23:03.667 --> 0:23:05.227 I knew you were going to say that. I knew 0:23:05.267 --> 0:23:06.947 you were going to say you were going to say 0:23:06.947 --> 0:23:10.307 the Roosters frankl have won their last seven. Three of 0:23:10.387 --> 0:23:13.147 their last four games in the regular season are against 0:23:13.187 --> 0:23:16.147 teams in the top eight, including the Panthers, who they 0:23:16.307 --> 0:23:19.827 play next. But they they and actually the other ones 0:23:19.867 --> 0:23:22.627 are the Sharks, who have won nine of their last ten. 0:23:23.227 --> 0:23:26.307 So this is an absolute sprint mate for the finish 0:23:26.387 --> 0:23:29.027 line between the Panthers the Roosters the Warriors and the 0:23:29.107 --> 0:23:32.347 Sharks one, two, three, four could be any order, it 0:23:32.467 --> 0:23:32.947 really could. 0:23:33.907 --> 0:23:35.947 But look who we've got to play though on that 0:23:36.267 --> 0:23:39.987 as we come into the home straight with this momentum 0:23:40.107 --> 0:23:43.547 that's building up. We've got the Broncos, the rabbit Os, 0:23:43.627 --> 0:23:46.667 the Knights, the Sea Eagles, and I think they're all 0:23:47.107 --> 0:23:51.027 for the picking. I know it's sport, but things can 0:23:51.587 --> 0:23:54.627 go awry, but I just go and don't forget. Also, 0:23:55.027 --> 0:23:57.987 I mean, I can't name all of our players played 0:23:58.067 --> 0:24:02.027 so well, but don't forget. We've got Jackson Ford sitting 0:24:02.107 --> 0:24:04.267 out there. He could be coming in on that last 0:24:04.307 --> 0:24:09.507 one or two games as well. And I'm just I'm 0:24:09.587 --> 0:24:14.507 just so excited about this this and this team. I 0:24:14.787 --> 0:24:18.187 do believe, you know, Piney, I do believe could go 0:24:18.387 --> 0:24:21.627 down in history as one of the greatest NRL sides. 0:24:23.867 --> 0:24:26.827 Just hope that prediction comes to fruition and I think 0:24:26.867 --> 0:24:27.187 it will. 0:24:28.027 --> 0:24:30.867 Good on your Frank. Always enjoy chatting Rugby Luke with you, mate. 0:24:31.147 --> 0:24:33.107 I know how much you enjoy watching the Warriors when 0:24:33.107 --> 0:24:35.107 they play like that. In fact, you watch them every week. 0:24:35.507 --> 0:24:37.867 Always good chatting to your mate. Let's do it again soon. 0:24:37.947 --> 0:24:39.867 Oh eight hundred and eighty tenuty ten number. What did 0:24:39.907 --> 0:24:40.267 you make of it? 0:24:40.387 --> 0:24:42.747 Mark, Yeah, I was just. 0:24:42.827 --> 0:24:45.347 Thinking I was at the final when we played the Roosters. 0:24:45.427 --> 0:24:47.787 Maybe maybe we don't want to play them in the final. 0:24:49.307 --> 0:24:51.267 Well maybe it's maybe it's you mate, Maybe you just 0:24:51.587 --> 0:24:52.347 have to not go. 0:24:53.427 --> 0:24:54.067 Yeah, I won't go. 0:24:54.307 --> 0:24:56.467 Actually, I was thinking I might go if they do 0:24:56.587 --> 0:25:00.587 make the files. Last night, I think the student became 0:25:00.667 --> 0:25:02.507 the master. I thought, you know, you've got to give 0:25:02.507 --> 0:25:04.907 a lot of credit to Whereby. He's got this team firing, 0:25:04.907 --> 0:25:06.787 and he's got a lot of Vitrim players playing the 0:25:06.867 --> 0:25:07.987 best games of their lives. 0:25:07.987 --> 0:25:08.347 I reckon. 0:25:10.027 --> 0:25:12.187 I also think the Ford pack is probably one of 0:25:12.227 --> 0:25:14.747 the best, you know, given the interchange year, is probably 0:25:14.787 --> 0:25:18.467 one of the best Ford pack on the field and 0:25:18.587 --> 0:25:20.947 on the bench that probably I've seen from any inn 0:25:21.067 --> 0:25:24.027 RL team. And you know, as the last cooler said Jackson, 0:25:24.107 --> 0:25:26.667 board's got to come back. So yeah, there's a lot 0:25:26.747 --> 0:25:29.187 to like about it. And I think, you know, we 0:25:29.307 --> 0:25:32.187 saw Isaiah Yoga off last night and that's a huge 0:25:32.227 --> 0:25:35.667 blow for the Pets. But with such a talented and 0:25:36.587 --> 0:25:40.787 sort of balanced team, was so much resilience, probably because 0:25:40.787 --> 0:25:45.347 we've had so many injuries throughout the last couple of years. 0:25:45.467 --> 0:25:48.067 But he's built a team, as I said, you've got 0:25:48.147 --> 0:25:50.227 to give credit to whereby he's built a team that 0:25:50.707 --> 0:25:54.347 has this residience. So if anyone goes down, we've still 0:25:54.387 --> 0:25:57.307 got a really absolutely strong team. You know, we've seeing 0:25:57.347 --> 0:25:59.307 Tann and Boyd go down and was seeing you know, 0:25:59.587 --> 0:26:03.187 Chanelle and Martin come through. And you've got Metcalfe there 0:26:03.187 --> 0:26:05.707 who had had a really good game last night. So 0:26:06.587 --> 0:26:08.907 it wouldn't really matter who gets injured. Now, I think 0:26:08.987 --> 0:26:11.107 they'd still be one of the one of the favorites 0:26:11.187 --> 0:26:13.347 to win the competition at the stage, given the last 0:26:13.387 --> 0:26:14.427 two games in their form. 0:26:15.027 --> 0:26:18.187 Yeah, I agree, I agree, And the only well, it's 0:26:18.507 --> 0:26:19.867 it's not a worry. I was going to say, they're 0:26:19.867 --> 0:26:22.947 only worry. It's just this last four four games and 0:26:23.067 --> 0:26:25.267 how they all play out, Mark, and what the finishing 0:26:25.387 --> 0:26:28.187 order is. We all know the advantage of finishing in 0:26:28.227 --> 0:26:31.547 the top two and the top four, which now seems inevitable. 0:26:31.667 --> 0:26:34.747 But yeah, that that top two finish, I mean, no 0:26:34.907 --> 0:26:37.027 one wants to go to go media now, you know, 0:26:37.467 --> 0:26:40.467 I don't belave it did, but there's no way anybody 0:26:40.547 --> 0:26:41.267 wants to go there. 0:26:41.707 --> 0:26:44.627 Well, well, the top two teams play each other next week, 0:26:44.707 --> 0:26:47.307 so I mean, I guess either one of those is 0:26:47.347 --> 0:26:49.467 going to lose. So that's going to bring it down 0:26:49.507 --> 0:26:51.747 a bit. But I just wanted to say one more 0:26:51.827 --> 0:26:55.027 thing about the four pass. You know, the NRL competition 0:26:55.427 --> 0:26:59.707 has refereed really well, but the stupidity of these four passes, 0:26:59.747 --> 0:27:01.507 and we saw it against Brince from a couple of 0:27:01.627 --> 0:27:04.267 years ago, you know, with that ridiculous four pass and 0:27:04.387 --> 0:27:07.027 last night, and I'm not just saying the Warriors, but 0:27:07.947 --> 0:27:10.867 you know, the TMO should have the ability if it's 0:27:11.027 --> 0:27:15.467 clearly passed forward to say that was a ridiculously forward 0:27:15.547 --> 0:27:18.947 pass and it should either be a penalty or a scrum, don't. 0:27:18.747 --> 0:27:21.467 You think absolutely. I mean it's it's clear as the 0:27:21.547 --> 0:27:23.947 nose on your face. Everybody saw it. It's up on 0:27:24.027 --> 0:27:26.867 the screen. Everybody knows it's a forward pass, and they 0:27:26.947 --> 0:27:29.227 want that because of what the bunker can't and devene 0:27:29.547 --> 0:27:34.707 for that particular infringement. They just carry on, Nah, so obvious. 0:27:34.747 --> 0:27:38.067 You know, sometimes the ref will go, oh, I've made 0:27:38.067 --> 0:27:40.067 a mistake, and you know clearly I've made a mistake, 0:27:40.187 --> 0:27:42.987 will reverse that. But he's looking at the screen going 0:27:44.387 --> 0:27:47.027 that's so far forward. It's ridiculous, but I can't roll 0:27:47.107 --> 0:27:48.467 on it. I mean, you've just got I mean it 0:27:48.547 --> 0:27:51.387 seems such a simple change, and I mean you wouldn't 0:27:51.387 --> 0:27:54.787 want that to cost a team, any team you know, 0:27:54.907 --> 0:27:57.027 a spot in the final World Championship, would you? 0:27:57.587 --> 0:27:57.627 No? 0:27:57.987 --> 0:28:00.667 Absolutely not? Mark? Yeah, what I think? Andrew Webster said 0:28:00.667 --> 0:28:03.587 afterwards it was the It was the second most forward 0:28:03.627 --> 0:28:05.187 pass he's ever seen. Do you'd like to see the 0:28:05.227 --> 0:28:07.507 most forward pass? Good on you, Mark, Good to chat 0:28:07.507 --> 0:28:09.427 to you. The reason it's important to finish in the 0:28:09.467 --> 0:28:12.107 top two is around the playoff format. In Week one 0:28:12.347 --> 0:28:16.307 one plays four, and two plays three. One and two 0:28:16.507 --> 0:28:19.867 are the hosts of those games, and the winners get 0:28:19.907 --> 0:28:23.507 a Week two by and a home preliminary final, at 0:28:23.547 --> 0:28:26.547 which point there only one game away from the grand final. 0:28:27.667 --> 0:28:30.227 So you get an extra life if you're third or fourth, 0:28:30.307 --> 0:28:32.947 but you have to go away in week one, you're 0:28:32.987 --> 0:28:35.347 at home in week two and that's an advantage. But 0:28:35.507 --> 0:28:39.947 finishing in the top two is a massive, massive advantage. Hey, Chris, 0:28:41.387 --> 0:28:41.987 get it, bunny. 0:28:42.147 --> 0:28:44.427 A couple of notes made just the post match interview 0:28:44.427 --> 0:28:49.667 stuff almost James Fisher Harris with his Danian loader esque 0:28:50.867 --> 0:28:54.547 approach to giving good feedback, but a guy that really 0:28:54.587 --> 0:28:56.467 did his talking. I guess on the field last night 0:28:56.547 --> 0:28:59.067 and there's covered tackle, mate, you know, you look at 0:28:59.187 --> 0:29:00.587 up the yards and up the middle and what he 0:29:00.667 --> 0:29:05.307 did to cover to get there just listed tenfold. And 0:29:05.387 --> 0:29:09.907 another thought I had around seeing Lucky Metcalf scoring that try. 0:29:10.467 --> 0:29:14.027 He referred to the Jade Bellingham moment in terms of 0:29:14.147 --> 0:29:15.787 just acknowledging, you know, don't forget me. 0:29:16.587 --> 0:29:19.387 But the transition from what was to what is and. 0:29:19.467 --> 0:29:22.627 His role his role seemed to me like he didn't 0:29:22.667 --> 0:29:24.667 really have to do a lot. He just knew knew 0:29:24.747 --> 0:29:27.827 his game and that whole collective around what it meant 0:29:27.867 --> 0:29:31.907 to be unified and really just sitting the complete sets 0:29:31.947 --> 0:29:36.267 of six Magical and in the interview West Jawny and 0:29:36.587 --> 0:29:39.987 the crew after, there was almost a sense of he 0:29:40.227 --> 0:29:44.507 was embarrassed, but there was intrinsically a sense of on back, 0:29:45.027 --> 0:29:47.067 don't forget me, and that was pretty powerful. 0:29:48.187 --> 0:29:50.947 Love it, Chris, love it, mate, And yeah, I really 0:29:51.107 --> 0:29:53.747 enjoyed his postmatch interview as well. I think he's very honest, 0:29:54.107 --> 0:29:56.587 you know, and that you know, he could easily have 0:29:56.667 --> 0:29:57.987 come out and said oh no, no, no, I was 0:29:58.067 --> 0:29:59.707 just being patient I was just you know, waiting for 0:29:59.827 --> 0:30:01.507 my turn, but he said, no, I did get a 0:30:01.547 --> 0:30:03.507 bit of a chip on my shoulder. I did, you know, 0:30:03.627 --> 0:30:06.147 I did start to think, you know, hey, don't forget 0:30:06.187 --> 0:30:09.227 a out me. And yeah, the dude even said, Dude Bellingham, 0:30:09.227 --> 0:30:11.387 didn't he wear the arms out wide? Talk about a 0:30:11.427 --> 0:30:13.427 n iconic photo. I mean I've seen that thought to 0:30:13.507 --> 0:30:16.987 everywhere last night and today he could Chris, he could 0:30:17.027 --> 0:30:19.267 be massive for the Warriors in the next eight weeks. 0:30:19.347 --> 0:30:20.347 He really could, Matt. 0:30:21.027 --> 0:30:23.667 You know, you talk about, you know, what sports psychology 0:30:23.707 --> 0:30:28.867 looks like or psychological safety. His vulnerability last night gave 0:30:28.907 --> 0:30:31.547 a ETAs into some of the off field stuff, but 0:30:31.707 --> 0:30:33.667 also the human aspect. 0:30:33.587 --> 0:30:34.627 Of what he's gone through. 0:30:34.947 --> 0:30:37.147 But for the big picture around the collective and about 0:30:37.147 --> 0:30:40.067 you know, the dynasty and maybe this is the year scenario. 0:30:40.267 --> 0:30:43.707 But a beautiful sense of you know, having the courage 0:30:43.747 --> 0:30:47.867 to talk about headspace. And you know, I only referred 0:30:47.867 --> 0:30:49.707 to Adisavier a couple of weeks ago when he's kissing 0:30:50.147 --> 0:30:53.387 Reuben Love on the cheek after a post match. You know, 0:30:53.507 --> 0:30:56.267 that's that's the sort of blokes you want other blokes 0:30:56.307 --> 0:30:59.467 to see. And the vulnerability was just yet brilliant. 0:30:59.867 --> 0:31:02.187 Chris, don't be a stranger, mate, you call back any time. Man, 0:31:02.267 --> 0:31:04.667 I've loved your thoughts. Good to hear from you. Oh 0:31:04.707 --> 0:31:06.867 eight hundred and eighty ten eighty's our number, lyle, what 0:31:06.947 --> 0:31:08.587 did you make of it all? As a neutral to 0:31:08.707 --> 0:31:08.987 it all? 0:31:10.307 --> 0:31:13.947 Ah, mate, I think you if you remember correctly, I've 0:31:14.027 --> 0:31:18.507 told the numerous occasions that have Metcalfe put another go, 0:31:19.347 --> 0:31:22.667 he sures how won't let them down. I told all 0:31:22.867 --> 0:31:25.987 sundry yesterday that Metcalfe will be the player of the 0:31:26.107 --> 0:31:29.707 day for the Warriors. Well he probably wasn't quite glad. 0:31:29.787 --> 0:31:32.547 He probably shared it with a few others. But the 0:31:32.787 --> 0:31:36.227 how good in the achievements for sports wise or work 0:31:36.307 --> 0:31:40.107 wise right is really governed by the obstacles you had 0:31:40.187 --> 0:31:43.027 to overcome to achieve it. They've gone out there and 0:31:43.787 --> 0:31:46.387 for sixty five minutes they've kept the best side in 0:31:46.467 --> 0:31:50.787 the competition scoreless. I watched I watched them again this morning, 0:31:50.987 --> 0:31:54.987 and Mate, some of the mistakes that Penriths made were 0:31:55.147 --> 0:31:59.867 most Unpenris like, as Andrew Voss is with the hype purplier. 0:32:00.307 --> 0:32:03.307 But they made the mistakes because the Warriors just completely 0:32:03.467 --> 0:32:05.707 monster them. I said to him made them when I said, 0:32:05.707 --> 0:32:09.467 oh this sucks real impressive. Well, the next sixty five 0:32:09.587 --> 0:32:14.667 minutes were more impressive. And as for Clark, Clark, he's well, 0:32:14.707 --> 0:32:17.627 he's the ever ready battery, sorry, ever ready bunny with 0:32:17.747 --> 0:32:21.027 a tan and Leck of the wrecker, Well it is. 0:32:22.027 --> 0:32:22.147 You know. 0:32:22.667 --> 0:32:26.267 I was definitely the best game I'll see them play 0:32:26.347 --> 0:32:28.107 this year, and one of the best games I've ever 0:32:28.187 --> 0:32:31.987 seen them play. They I was concerned at the ending 0:32:32.107 --> 0:32:34.867 for them though, when it's last pen with Troy it 0:32:34.947 --> 0:32:35.707 got just allowed. 0:32:36.627 --> 0:32:36.907 Lucky. 0:32:37.027 --> 0:32:39.867 I mean, the right decision was made. He was definitely offside, 0:32:39.947 --> 0:32:42.987 but you know, half a meter backs on side, and 0:32:43.467 --> 0:32:47.707 they were definitely tiring, but it made us they needed 0:32:47.787 --> 0:32:50.867 to make a statement. And well they didn't go through 0:32:50.947 --> 0:32:56.147 the front door. They crashed through it. Lequer the record, 0:32:57.027 --> 0:33:01.187 he didn't d W said his work rate were just 0:33:01.307 --> 0:33:03.627 taking it up, helping the forwards out. 0:33:04.267 --> 0:33:05.187 It's something real. 0:33:07.547 --> 0:33:11.347 They've got to leave Metcalf there because his kicking game, 0:33:11.747 --> 0:33:16.627 sorry's kicking game general, and goal kicking is definitely, you know, 0:33:16.667 --> 0:33:20.107 a superior of what's on offer. Now tain to a picky. 0:33:21.707 --> 0:33:23.427 I've set it to you a number of times. I 0:33:23.507 --> 0:33:26.267 don't think well, his future is at full Nick, he's 0:33:26.307 --> 0:33:30.307 too small. Metcalf's going next year, I'd be moving Taine 0:33:30.507 --> 0:33:33.587 into the harvest. It's got a good step, a tone 0:33:33.627 --> 0:33:37.427 of gaps, a good pass and you know you'd always 0:33:37.427 --> 0:33:39.227 stick them back at full back at a pinch and 0:33:39.467 --> 0:33:44.387 off injuries go south. But yeah, it's there's an incredibly 0:33:44.467 --> 0:33:45.787 impressive performance off this. 0:33:46.427 --> 0:33:48.387 Good on your law, good summary, mate, and yeah, no 0:33:48.507 --> 0:33:50.867 that might be the future. I've tained to Old Picky. 0:33:51.067 --> 0:33:52.947 It might be a bit further on. Good to hear 0:33:52.987 --> 0:33:55.267 from you, mate. Seventeen Away from One. Slag Griffin, assistant 0:33:55.307 --> 0:33:55.987 coach of the Warriors. 0:33:56.027 --> 0:33:59.147 After this from Gross Roots to the grand Stand and 0:33:59.227 --> 0:34:02.907 Weekends Force with Jason Vine and the audi Q seven 0:34:02.987 --> 0:34:05.067 Dynamic Black Runout edition from One. 0:34:06.467 --> 0:34:07.147 All the Ways. 0:34:08.547 --> 0:34:12.667 Talks Warriors Assistant coach Slade Griffin with us. Thanks for 0:34:12.667 --> 0:34:14.227 your time, mate. How pleasing a night was that? 0:34:14.907 --> 0:34:18.587 Yeah, obviously, like it was just a great night for 0:34:18.667 --> 0:34:20.667 the club, Like just really proud of the boys, really 0:34:20.707 --> 0:34:23.107 proud to be a part of the club. You know, 0:34:23.227 --> 0:34:25.707 Fish come to the club, wanted to come home and 0:34:25.947 --> 0:34:29.867 ever since he's he's been really proud about obviously his 0:34:30.027 --> 0:34:32.747 culture and we wanted to do something like that last 0:34:32.827 --> 0:34:35.867 year and boys just went ready. But they've practiced it 0:34:35.987 --> 0:34:38.147 and you know, they did the Hacker and it was 0:34:38.227 --> 0:34:41.227 just spine tingling scenes and I think that just obviously 0:34:42.027 --> 0:34:45.067 got them going. And yeah, look, the boys have trained 0:34:45.067 --> 0:34:47.067 really hard for a couple of years and built a 0:34:47.187 --> 0:34:49.507 game that we fell hold up in the big games, 0:34:50.467 --> 0:34:53.507 you know, that army source style of footy, and they 0:34:53.587 --> 0:34:55.987 got that on last night. And yeah, it was just 0:34:56.027 --> 0:34:59.667 a really good performance, like you said, against the minor 0:34:59.707 --> 0:35:02.147 premiers at the moment. So yeah, awesome night. 0:35:02.347 --> 0:35:07.627 Yeah, the pregame Hiker tamatoa man s fine shilling is right, man, 0:35:07.707 --> 0:35:10.227 it was amazing, even iman on television, it was amazing. 0:35:10.347 --> 0:35:12.147 I can't imagine what it must have been like there. 0:35:12.347 --> 0:35:14.467 So James Fisher Harris was one of the drivers of that. 0:35:15.387 --> 0:35:18.227 Yeah he was, Yeah, and he was you know, some 0:35:18.307 --> 0:35:19.787 of the boys are a little bit nervous. They haven't 0:35:19.787 --> 0:35:21.307 done much of that in front of a big crowd 0:35:21.467 --> 0:35:24.307 like that, but he just gave them confidence. And really 0:35:24.347 --> 0:35:28.027 it was about representing obviously our country be a culture, 0:35:28.907 --> 0:35:32.307 even Pacifica and the Maldi boys. So yeah, it was 0:35:32.427 --> 0:35:34.667 just awesome and like our crowd just got right behind them. 0:35:35.627 --> 0:35:37.107 You know, it was one of the loudest crowds ever 0:35:37.187 --> 0:35:41.027 been part of. So just an awesome night electric, Yeah, 0:35:41.107 --> 0:35:41.587 certainly was. 0:35:41.707 --> 0:35:43.907 And then on the field, James Fisher Harris goes out 0:35:43.947 --> 0:35:47.107 there and has an absolute stormer. I mean, how influential 0:35:47.347 --> 0:35:49.387 is he in your playing group because we see him 0:35:49.827 --> 0:35:51.507 slat and this is no surprise to anybody. You know, 0:35:51.587 --> 0:35:53.667 he doesn't say a heck of a lot in media situations, right, 0:35:53.747 --> 0:35:56.107 and he's you know, he's pretty he's pretty low key, 0:35:56.107 --> 0:35:59.467 he's pretty understated. How influential is he within your group? 0:36:00.587 --> 0:36:00.787 Yeah? 0:36:01.107 --> 0:36:05.107 There, he just has an aura about him. He obviously 0:36:05.187 --> 0:36:07.667 believes in the hard stuff, which has been very vital 0:36:07.747 --> 0:36:11.467 for us, and he leads that with his actions. But 0:36:11.827 --> 0:36:13.747 he doesn't speak a ton of training as well. But 0:36:13.787 --> 0:36:17.507 when he does speak, everyone listens, and yeah, he's obviously 0:36:18.067 --> 0:36:20.347 like he started really good. People hadn't even seen at 0:36:20.387 --> 0:36:22.267 the back end of the game when they were, you know, 0:36:23.547 --> 0:36:27.067 really coming home strong. He made a cover tackle after 0:36:27.147 --> 0:36:29.947 playing sixty minutes or something, so yeah, just so top 0:36:29.987 --> 0:36:31.747 of it. If it's instrumental for us. 0:36:32.147 --> 0:36:34.507 Luke Metcalf comes back into the side. Couldn't really have 0:36:34.587 --> 0:36:38.547 scripted a better return after such a long layoff in 0:36:38.707 --> 0:36:41.227 time out of the side. Were you expecting him to 0:36:41.267 --> 0:36:42.627 make that sort of impact straight away? 0:36:44.187 --> 0:36:47.147 Yeah, we all know what he's capable of. I think 0:36:47.187 --> 0:36:49.107 it's also a credit to our forward pack like that, 0:36:49.387 --> 0:36:52.827 just laying such a good platform for us buying to playoff. 0:36:52.907 --> 0:36:56.387 But yeah, he obviously had his time out of the 0:36:57.467 --> 0:37:00.227 team and has been confident the bit to get his moment, 0:37:00.347 --> 0:37:04.027 and he's been training really well ready for his moments. 0:37:04.107 --> 0:37:06.187 So yeah, we all know the class player he is. 0:37:06.427 --> 0:37:10.467 Obviously did it last year, so he's done his apprenticeship 0:37:10.547 --> 0:37:12.787 under Shawn Johnson as well, so he knows the club, 0:37:12.867 --> 0:37:15.067 he knows the system. So just really happy for him 0:37:15.067 --> 0:37:16.627 to get his moment coming back from that injury. 0:37:16.907 --> 0:37:18.827 And it seemed as though he didn't try to do 0:37:18.947 --> 0:37:21.027 too much. And I guess that could have been the temptation, right, 0:37:21.107 --> 0:37:23.547 you come back in after so long away, so right, 0:37:23.587 --> 0:37:25.107 I'm gonna I'm going to just take this game by 0:37:25.147 --> 0:37:27.627 the scruff of the neck and really take charge, which 0:37:27.667 --> 0:37:30.427 he did on occasion. But did you consciously speak to 0:37:30.547 --> 0:37:32.627 him or did the coaches consciously speak to him about 0:37:32.707 --> 0:37:34.467 not trying to do too much? 0:37:35.467 --> 0:37:37.587 Yeah, I mean on the defense coach, where he might 0:37:37.667 --> 0:37:39.827 have given him a little bit more of a clear 0:37:39.907 --> 0:37:43.827 game plan. But I think the whole year we're just 0:37:43.947 --> 0:37:46.747 so confident in our Ford pack and our style of play, 0:37:47.387 --> 0:37:50.027 you know, playing a long game, dragging him into the 0:37:50.067 --> 0:37:52.227 deep ends of the armory sow and then looking for 0:37:52.307 --> 0:37:54.547 the cues off that. So yeah, he brought him to 0:37:54.587 --> 0:37:57.627 the game plan and then he obviously added his what 0:37:57.787 --> 0:37:59.507 he can do on top of it. You know, he's 0:37:59.547 --> 0:38:02.547 such a good support player. Whenever he plays, he gets 0:38:02.547 --> 0:38:04.027 on the man he wants and can put people in 0:38:04.067 --> 0:38:07.027 the hole he wants. So yeah, his speeds not many 0:38:07.067 --> 0:38:09.027 people have it, and it's nice to get that. Plus 0:38:09.107 --> 0:38:12.147 is kicking game that was obviously really helped us put 0:38:12.187 --> 0:38:13.747 them in some cuff stocks. 0:38:14.267 --> 0:38:17.747 Leka, hello Seema. Man, he just keeps on producing moments 0:38:17.787 --> 0:38:19.387 that make people set up and take notice. But from 0:38:19.427 --> 0:38:21.747 your point of view, Slater and that defensive sense, you 0:38:21.827 --> 0:38:23.587 know he's playing in the centers, that's different. 0:38:23.707 --> 0:38:23.827 You know. 0:38:23.947 --> 0:38:25.987 Have you had to work with them on his defensive 0:38:26.027 --> 0:38:26.827 reads and such like. 0:38:27.867 --> 0:38:33.667 Yeah, so we just have a long story short. We 0:38:34.547 --> 0:38:38.227 practiced that defensive fundamentals a lot, so our forwards train 0:38:38.427 --> 0:38:41.027 like our backs with our defensive movement, so we want 0:38:41.067 --> 0:38:44.187 to be a really well moving team, and Leck is 0:38:44.227 --> 0:38:48.107 one of our best defensive players. So yeah, when he 0:38:48.147 --> 0:38:51.547 gets thrown out there, he's just such a confident kid. 0:38:51.587 --> 0:38:54.147 He's not scared of anything. He actually played sentence growing up, 0:38:54.427 --> 0:38:57.707 but it's obviously different at in our old level. But yeah, 0:38:57.707 --> 0:39:00.507 he's so sound and defensively that we all have confidence 0:39:00.547 --> 0:39:01.867 in throwing them out there with his reeds. 0:39:02.987 --> 0:39:05.907 The ten minute period where the Panthers sort of started 0:39:05.907 --> 0:39:08.067 to become the Anthers again desperate to get back in 0:39:08.147 --> 0:39:09.787 the game, we know that they've got that, and then 0:39:09.867 --> 0:39:12.667 they have come back from deficits of that sort before 0:39:12.987 --> 0:39:15.787 a couple of tries another one just allowed. What did 0:39:15.827 --> 0:39:17.107 you make of that segment of the game. 0:39:18.107 --> 0:39:21.067 Yeah, we just got a few things wrong on our 0:39:21.147 --> 0:39:23.627 right edge there, so we'll tide of that up this week. 0:39:23.627 --> 0:39:26.867 We're just a little bit disconnected, guys making reads outside 0:39:26.867 --> 0:39:30.187 of the system and they're not doing it together. So look, 0:39:30.227 --> 0:39:33.667 we had obviously wanted idea where Nathan was, because where 0:39:33.667 --> 0:39:36.027 he is, Jenny the bull is going to follow, and 0:39:36.187 --> 0:39:37.707 he really took the game by the scruff of the 0:39:37.827 --> 0:39:42.227 neck there. Thought in that here. We also didn't be 0:39:42.427 --> 0:39:44.787 ruthless enough, like we were giving them fast start to 0:39:45.267 --> 0:39:47.067 put a kicking down our left edge and Brian to 0:39:47.187 --> 0:39:49.627 who picks it up and runs forty meters and gets 0:39:49.667 --> 0:39:51.227 a fast start where we could have turned it over 0:39:51.267 --> 0:39:53.467 in the corner and they're probably kicking it from inside 0:39:53.507 --> 0:39:55.827 their forty So there's a few moments we kind of 0:39:56.347 --> 0:39:58.187 let them out of their end and then put a 0:39:58.227 --> 0:40:00.267 lot of pressure on our defense. But we've got to 0:40:00.267 --> 0:40:01.787 be able to handle that as well because he needs 0:40:01.867 --> 0:40:04.587 perfect But yeah, it just shows the quality of Nathan A. 0:40:04.787 --> 0:40:07.507 So the left like that you give them to, you know, 0:40:07.667 --> 0:40:08.707 to be you off and. 0:40:08.787 --> 0:40:10.267 Just to funis. So we're just looking at the table here. 0:40:10.347 --> 0:40:13.867 Panthers thirty six rooster, thirty six Warriors, thirty four. The 0:40:13.947 --> 0:40:15.747 Sharks will probably beat the Dragon, so they'll go to 0:40:15.867 --> 0:40:18.307 thirty four four games each left man. This is going 0:40:18.347 --> 0:40:20.667 to be a sprint down the home straight. How do 0:40:20.707 --> 0:40:21.467 you keep your heads? 0:40:22.707 --> 0:40:24.867 Yeah, obviously you just got to worry week by week, 0:40:25.867 --> 0:40:28.987 even training session by training session. So the boys get 0:40:29.027 --> 0:40:30.787 three days off this weekend. We give them a little 0:40:30.827 --> 0:40:34.107 mini Buyers to freshen up again. The travel schedule has 0:40:34.107 --> 0:40:36.347 been really tough for them, so they'll come back in 0:40:36.467 --> 0:40:41.027 fresh and then yeah, obviously the goal is to get 0:40:41.067 --> 0:40:42.987 that top two because we'd love to play at home 0:40:43.027 --> 0:40:45.347 in front of our fans. I think they deserve it. 0:40:45.467 --> 0:40:48.307 So the boys be doing everything they can, but you'll 0:40:48.347 --> 0:40:50.347 literally have to take it week by week because every 0:40:50.427 --> 0:40:52.987 team's hard in this competition and they will deserve respect. 0:40:53.627 --> 0:40:57.547 Congratulations on last night's laid really special, special performance from 0:40:57.547 --> 0:40:59.907 the team. All the best as you hopefully get a 0:40:59.947 --> 0:41:01.267 bit of a break as well, and we'll look forward 0:41:01.267 --> 0:41:03.507 to seeing how the back end of the regular season 0:41:03.547 --> 0:41:05.427 plays out and beyond.

The 0:42:44.507 --> 0:42:48.827 All Blacks have opened Rugby's Greatest Rivalry Tour with a 0:42:48.987 --> 0:42:51.667 thirty eight twenty one win over the Stormers in Cape Town. 0:42:51.947 --> 0:42:54.507 Ta's down to your money's kick all Blacks after it 0:42:54.667 --> 0:42:59.107 stooped up Josh Morvey one handred back up in the 0:42:59.267 --> 0:43:04.867 left wing order. This guy's buss Josh Morby thirty three fourteen. 0:43:05.227 --> 0:43:08.227 It was fourteen all to sixty seven minutes, but four 0:43:08.347 --> 0:43:12.627 tries in the last thirteen minutes have inflated the scoreline. 0:43:12.667 --> 0:43:15.467 Or Blacks assistant coach Mike Blair is with us. Thanks 0:43:15.507 --> 0:43:18.387 for joining us, Mike, what's your overall assessment of game 0:43:18.467 --> 0:43:19.107 one of the tour. 0:43:21.507 --> 0:43:23.987 Nice to speak to you, obviously, we're really pleased to 0:43:24.027 --> 0:43:28.027 get the win. We played some good stuff in there 0:43:28.187 --> 0:43:31.667 and plenty to work on as well. The bit we 0:43:31.827 --> 0:43:33.907 loved about there was some real resilience in there. So 0:43:34.027 --> 0:43:38.227 we went down to thirteen men, still went in halftime 0:43:38.307 --> 0:43:41.347 at fourteen all, and we kept our composure and took 0:43:41.387 --> 0:43:45.667 our opportunities later on in the game. But we're frustrated 0:43:45.707 --> 0:43:48.107 a few of the missed opportunities as well that on 0:43:48.227 --> 0:43:50.027 other days we could have walked in but they didn't 0:43:50.267 --> 0:43:51.347 just quite click today. 0:43:51.907 --> 0:43:53.987 Did you always feel as though you had the gas 0:43:54.067 --> 0:43:55.627 in the tank to come over the top of them. 0:43:55.787 --> 0:43:57.547 At the end, it was still fourteen ll or thirteen 0:43:57.587 --> 0:44:00.027 minutes to go, a real flurry of tries at the end. 0:44:00.347 --> 0:44:02.027 Did you always feel as though you had that gas 0:44:02.067 --> 0:44:02.467 in the tank. 0:44:04.627 --> 0:44:07.067 I think we've got to understand that tea that it 0:44:07.187 --> 0:44:11.547 takes time to break teams down, and obviously we wouldn't 0:44:11.547 --> 0:44:14.867 want to leave it that late every week. But the 0:44:14.987 --> 0:44:16.587 fact that we did a lot of work, good work 0:44:17.067 --> 0:44:19.307 in the first half with our with our multi phase, 0:44:19.387 --> 0:44:22.507 stressed them a little bit, which meant that those opportunities 0:44:22.547 --> 0:44:24.387 were taken later on in the game, and we've got 0:44:24.467 --> 0:44:26.667 good athletes who can make the most of those opportunities. 0:44:27.147 --> 0:44:29.227 Did you get what you expected from the Stormers? 0:44:30.747 --> 0:44:35.587 Yeah, they were impressive, weren't they A number of excellent 0:44:35.667 --> 0:44:39.387 performances from them. Thought three was all over the place. 0:44:39.467 --> 0:44:42.147 I thought I thought that ten he was playing in 0:44:42.467 --> 0:44:44.867 one of his first pro games. I thought he looked 0:44:44.947 --> 0:44:49.267 composed and obviously their best set piece was a real threat. 0:44:50.147 --> 0:44:52.107 So yeah, they played a good game and a game 0:44:52.147 --> 0:44:55.307 that we expected them to to play. So some some 0:44:55.427 --> 0:44:57.947 positive stuff from us, but but definitely some some stuff 0:44:57.987 --> 0:44:58.347 to work on. 0:44:58.587 --> 0:45:00.667 I know it's not necessarily your area, Mike, but the 0:45:00.707 --> 0:45:03.947 SCRAMs were were really massy, especially in the first half. 0:45:04.227 --> 0:45:05.187 Any idea why that. 0:45:05.427 --> 0:45:09.547 Was, what makes you think I don't knowing about scrumbs unbelievable. 0:45:09.707 --> 0:45:11.587 I used to be I used to be a scrum half. 0:45:13.067 --> 0:45:16.347 Ill in that case. Then I'm looking forward to your assessment. 0:45:18.907 --> 0:45:21.787 Yeah, we we We've gone the wrong side the penalty kind. 0:45:21.867 --> 0:45:24.547 I think one of the really pleasing things though, was that, 0:45:24.827 --> 0:45:27.147 you know, the scrum in the last kind of three 0:45:27.227 --> 0:45:30.187 minutes of the game. We've got a young, young set 0:45:30.267 --> 0:45:33.227 of props on and we and we shunted Stormers off 0:45:33.267 --> 0:45:36.227 the ball, so that that's showed great resilience and they 0:45:36.347 --> 0:45:40.787 find a way obviously around the scrum. There is some 0:45:41.107 --> 0:45:43.547 some work to do there, but you know, we've got 0:45:43.627 --> 0:45:45.227 some great coaches who're going to do a good job 0:45:45.267 --> 0:45:45.507 with them. 0:45:45.747 --> 0:45:48.147 He mentioned before. A couple of work on areas and 0:45:48.227 --> 0:45:50.267 a bit of frustration around certain parts of the game. 0:45:50.547 --> 0:45:53.227 Anything in particular that you'll be that you'll be focusing 0:45:53.267 --> 0:45:53.947 on in the review. 0:45:54.947 --> 0:45:58.347 Yeah, I think we created opportunities and we've just got 0:45:58.427 --> 0:46:01.107 to be really ruthless with those opportunities. And I think 0:46:01.227 --> 0:46:03.507 we've probably left three or four tries out there that 0:46:03.627 --> 0:46:07.267 on other days it's just you know, perform in the basics. Well, 0:46:07.387 --> 0:46:09.867 so you know, there's a bit of rustiness as well. 0:46:09.907 --> 0:46:12.507 The guys haven't played in a in a reasonable amount 0:46:12.507 --> 0:46:14.787 of time, so it'll be great that that they've got 0:46:14.827 --> 0:46:17.107 that game under their belts and well we'll see improvement 0:46:17.747 --> 0:46:18.187 going ahead. 0:46:18.227 --> 0:46:21.227 In the two I had three yellow cards shown to 0:46:21.547 --> 0:46:24.467 your ap plaiers. Any issue with any of those, Mike. 0:46:27.507 --> 0:46:29.387 I'm I'm not too sure, to be honest. I think 0:46:30.147 --> 0:46:32.427 we almost felt that we would rather have given away 0:46:32.507 --> 0:46:35.627 the the try on that the storm is more rather 0:46:35.667 --> 0:46:38.587 than getting the yellow card and another five liner to defend. 0:46:39.587 --> 0:46:41.707 I think you know, when you when you stay high 0:46:41.747 --> 0:46:46.747 and there's a bit of head contact, you're always bringing 0:46:46.747 --> 0:46:49.747 the TMO into it. And I think the last one 0:46:49.827 --> 0:46:52.667 with with Josh was was was touch and go. I 0:46:52.747 --> 0:46:56.267 can see why it was given, but it was you know, 0:46:56.387 --> 0:46:58.107 it was it could have gone either way, I think 0:46:58.147 --> 0:47:01.187 on that one how it was ruled. So no, no 0:47:01.347 --> 0:47:03.387 real issues with that. We've we've got to look after 0:47:03.427 --> 0:47:05.347 own stuff and we've got to be squeaky clean there 0:47:05.427 --> 0:47:08.307 and to not give the opportunity to penalize us. 0:47:08.267 --> 0:47:11.107 For that from now. Then. It's quite a unique challenge, 0:47:11.147 --> 0:47:12.987 isn't it for the coaching group, in terms of the 0:47:13.027 --> 0:47:15.907 fact that you now need to prepare an almost entirely 0:47:15.987 --> 0:47:18.467 different group of players for Poenix Challenge or what sort 0:47:18.467 --> 0:47:19.747 of challenge will that present to you. 0:47:20.907 --> 0:47:24.987 Yeah, things things speed up now for sure, and you 0:47:25.067 --> 0:47:27.627 know the work crate's going to be where the workload's 0:47:27.667 --> 0:47:29.587 going to be be high for the players and the 0:47:29.667 --> 0:47:30.347 coaches as well. 0:47:30.427 --> 0:47:32.667 So we just got to be really. 0:47:32.587 --> 0:47:37.267 Sharp around our reviews, our previews of what's coming. You know, 0:47:37.347 --> 0:47:40.587 we've got some excellent players, so their ability to pick 0:47:40.667 --> 0:47:43.907 up information and take that on and apply it should 0:47:43.947 --> 0:47:46.147 be really good. So it's a great challenge and the 0:47:46.187 --> 0:47:47.787 one we're really looking forward to taking on. 0:47:48.027 --> 0:47:50.627 I know that there was never any doubt, but today 0:47:50.747 --> 0:47:53.227 confirm that that this is going to be a heck 0:47:53.267 --> 0:47:53.707 of a tour. 0:47:56.067 --> 0:47:57.267 Absolutely it was. 0:47:57.547 --> 0:48:02.147 It was a brilliant atmosphere here, really competitive game, really 0:48:02.227 --> 0:48:05.747 physical game, and you know we've got another one coming 0:48:05.827 --> 0:48:06.307 up on Tuesday. 0:48:07.027 --> 0:48:09.267 My congrats on getting the first one on the board. 0:48:09.267 --> 0:48:12.867 Appreciate you taking the time for a chat. Awesome, thanks mate, No, 0:48:12.987 --> 0:48:16.187 thank you, Mike Mike Blair All Blacks attack coach out 0:48:16.227 --> 0:48:18.387 of Cape Town, where the All Blacks have kicked off 0:48:18.427 --> 0:48:20.907 the Greatest Rivalry Tour with the thirty eight twenty one 0:48:20.947 --> 0:48:23.747 went over the Stormers. Love your thoughts of you if 0:48:23.787 --> 0:48:25.547 you've seen the game, if you watched it live or 0:48:25.587 --> 0:48:27.507 gone up to watch your replay, if you've had a 0:48:27.547 --> 0:48:29.307 look at it and got some thoughts O eight hundred 0:48:29.627 --> 0:48:32.947 eighty ten eighty. It looked like a side that hadn't 0:48:32.947 --> 0:48:36.187 played together very often, containing several players who haven't played 0:48:36.587 --> 0:48:39.307 any rugby for a while, which, of course it was. 0:48:39.507 --> 0:48:41.787 It was good to get the win to start the 0:48:41.867 --> 0:48:44.747 tour off, even if it did need that late flurry 0:48:44.787 --> 0:48:47.267 of tries to get the All Blacks across the line. 0:48:47.307 --> 0:48:49.867 Good to give some guys some rugby, Good to add 0:48:50.587 --> 0:48:54.587 a couple more debutantes. But if there was any doubt 0:48:55.107 --> 0:48:58.507 about how tough this tour is going to be, and 0:48:58.587 --> 0:49:00.267 I don't think there was any doubt, but if there was, 0:49:01.067 --> 0:49:05.507 it was well and truly dispelled today and there is 0:49:05.587 --> 0:49:08.427 plenty to work on as the All Blacks now plot 0:49:08.507 --> 0:49:11.387 the rest of this tour, starting with the Sharks in 0:49:11.507 --> 0:49:16.347 Durban on Wednesday morning, Tuesday, night over. There areas of 0:49:16.707 --> 0:49:21.187 particular focus. I've got four main ones. Number one the 0:49:21.387 --> 0:49:25.787 aerial ball. It is still an area of concern for 0:49:25.867 --> 0:49:28.387 the All Blacks and one which will absolutely, without a 0:49:28.467 --> 0:49:31.707 doubt be targeted by the South African teams. Spring Box 0:49:31.747 --> 0:49:35.627 in particular. For whatever reason, we just can't seem to 0:49:35.907 --> 0:49:41.747 effectively and consistently diffuse aerial threats. And when a kick 0:49:41.827 --> 0:49:44.867 goes up and one of our players goes up to 0:49:45.147 --> 0:49:47.987 get it and doesn't, the rebound almost always seems to 0:49:48.067 --> 0:49:51.587 go to the opposition. So the battle and the air 0:49:51.787 --> 0:49:55.667 number one. Number two the scrum look, most of us 0:49:55.707 --> 0:49:58.627 don't have the depth of knowledge to know what goes 0:49:58.707 --> 0:50:01.787 on in there in minute detail. But they were a 0:50:01.867 --> 0:50:04.987 bit of a mess, weren't they. We were penalized a 0:50:05.027 --> 0:50:08.987 lot at scrum time, and the stumers showed plenty of power, 0:50:09.587 --> 0:50:12.507 which all of the South African teams will over the 0:50:12.587 --> 0:50:14.747 next six weeks, not least of all the spring Box. 0:50:15.787 --> 0:50:20.027 Number three more defense. The Stormers put pressure on from 0:50:20.027 --> 0:50:22.067 the lineouts close to the All Blacks line, the spring 0:50:22.147 --> 0:50:26.307 Box will do exactly the same, so giving away penalties 0:50:26.987 --> 0:50:28.867 which allow the opposition to kick for the line and 0:50:28.907 --> 0:50:30.707 set up for a driver, something that just can't be 0:50:30.747 --> 0:50:36.027 afforded by the All Blacks and number four discipline. Three 0:50:36.107 --> 0:50:38.507 yellow carts. I thought the first one was questionable. Actually 0:50:39.307 --> 0:50:43.067 Antoninat Brown makes contact as he goes into the tackle 0:50:43.147 --> 0:50:47.427 with the upper chest first and then it kind of 0:50:47.467 --> 0:50:49.827 slides up and makes contact with the head. Simon Parker 0:50:49.907 --> 0:50:52.787 Josh Moreby also spending time in the boin. Look, it's 0:50:52.787 --> 0:50:55.587 hard enough to win in South Africa with fifteen guys. 0:50:56.267 --> 0:50:58.147 You can't be going to add to fourteen for large 0:50:58.187 --> 0:51:01.227 periods or thirteen as was the case for a while 0:51:01.947 --> 0:51:04.867 in this one. And on the discipline side of things, 0:51:05.187 --> 0:51:09.107 sixteen penalties conceded, including five in a row in the 0:51:09.187 --> 0:51:12.787 second half. So as they depart Cape Town for Durban 0:51:13.187 --> 0:51:15.347 and the Sharks Wednesday morning out time, there is a 0:51:15.387 --> 0:51:18.867 bit to chew over, plenty of room for improvement. Thankfully, 0:51:19.947 --> 0:51:23.707 I firmly believe the capacity for that improvement is there 0:51:23.907 --> 0:51:26.547 and the side that runs out against the Sharks on 0:51:26.667 --> 0:51:31.547 Wednesday morning will be demonstrably different to what we saw 0:51:31.747 --> 0:51:35.787 this morning. A lot of cobwebs shaken off this morning, 0:51:35.827 --> 0:51:39.707 it felt to me by players, as I say, who 0:51:39.747 --> 0:51:41.067 haven't had a heck of a lot of rugby. You 0:51:41.107 --> 0:51:44.227 look at guys like Simon Parker, Bowden Barrett, they hadn't 0:51:44.227 --> 0:51:47.227 played it all in July. The last time those guys 0:51:47.267 --> 0:51:49.547 played was the back end of Super Rugby. Boden Barrett 0:51:49.587 --> 0:51:52.347 hasn't the game for a couple of months. Others in 0:51:52.427 --> 0:51:57.107 the same boat. Kyle Preston didn't get any rugby during July. 0:51:57.907 --> 0:52:01.187 He got out there. Josh Jacob on debut, ce Alilawakey 0:52:01.307 --> 0:52:05.747 on debut. Combinations in the loose forwards and in midfield 0:52:05.787 --> 0:52:09.187 that haven't been being used often, so there was always 0:52:09.187 --> 0:52:12.827 going to be a bit of clunkiness. What did you 0:52:12.867 --> 0:52:15.707 take from it? I eight hundred eighty ten eighty anything 0:52:15.987 --> 0:52:18.067 that you want to pick up on. It's good to 0:52:18.107 --> 0:52:19.667 get the first one out of the way. I think 0:52:19.707 --> 0:52:23.267 that is certainly a positive. It would be a lot 0:52:23.347 --> 0:52:25.267 worse if we were sitting here talking about an All 0:52:25.307 --> 0:52:28.227 Black's loss at fourteen or with thirteen minutes to go. 0:52:29.427 --> 0:52:32.587 That result was on the table. But they got good 0:52:32.627 --> 0:52:34.587 impact off their bench. I thought of suff One Mooor 0:52:34.987 --> 0:52:38.587 was great off the bench. I think Josh Jacob had 0:52:38.627 --> 0:52:42.307 a steady hand when he came on, and a couple 0:52:42.347 --> 0:52:44.667 of other players too. Peter Larkey want to mention Anton 0:52:44.747 --> 0:52:46.187 Lennart Brown. I thought it had a very good game. 0:52:46.947 --> 0:52:48.787 So the back end of the games, where the All 0:52:48.827 --> 0:52:52.507 Blacks traditionally do put the foot on the gas and 0:52:52.587 --> 0:52:55.827 run away from teams was an evidence again. I eight 0:52:55.987 --> 0:52:59.267 hundred eighty ten eighty All Black Stormers, the Greatest Rivalry 0:52:59.347 --> 0:53:01.907 Tour is underweight. Anything you want to pick up on, 0:53:02.907 --> 0:53:04.667 let's get talking about the All Blacks. So one hundred 0:53:04.707 --> 0:53:06.307 and eighty ten eighty back in a secon on weekkend 0:53:06.347 --> 0:53:09.507 in Sport with your calls for a premium seven seat 0:53:09.747 --> 0:53:13.187 suv that delivers performance and exceptional value, you need to 0:53:13.227 --> 0:53:16.147 take a look at the audi Q seven Dynamic Black 0:53:16.267 --> 0:53:20.107 Runout Edition now starting from one thirty nine to nine ninety. 0:53:20.187 --> 0:53:23.627 The numbers on this thing are seriously impressive for starters 0:53:23.947 --> 0:53:28.347 complementary premium upgrades worth up to thirty thousand dollars.

What 0:54:57.667 --> 0:54:58.507 did you think this morning? 0:54:58.707 --> 0:54:58.987 Please? 0:54:59.667 --> 0:55:01.547 Well, we hit a chat a few weeks ago and 0:55:01.787 --> 0:55:06.187 about how we might be looking to treat this whole tour. 0:55:06.347 --> 0:55:09.867 It's sort of like a dress rehearsal for a World Cup. 0:55:10.307 --> 0:55:12.187 I remember, yes, I remember that chat, Peter. 0:55:13.387 --> 0:55:17.467 And that game seemed very much like an opening game 0:55:17.547 --> 0:55:18.347 of a World Cup. 0:55:18.787 --> 0:55:23.067 Yes it did, Peter. You're you're beg on mate. It's 0:55:23.147 --> 0:55:26.987 like us playing against I don't know Italy or Remaining 0:55:27.747 --> 0:55:29.907 or Scotland lady or maybe on scholar, but something like that. 0:55:29.947 --> 0:55:30.347 You're right. 0:55:30.747 --> 0:55:31.627 It was one of those. 0:55:33.587 --> 0:55:35.507 Yeah, we weren't quite sure how it was all going 0:55:35.587 --> 0:55:38.347 to go. We're getting missed in new reps. It's a 0:55:38.467 --> 0:55:41.427 new squad, new tournament, and it sort of had that 0:55:42.147 --> 0:55:45.547 you know, we're feeling out the whole situation type vibe. 0:55:45.707 --> 0:55:47.947 And and yeah, he came away with the win. 0:55:48.747 --> 0:55:50.467 Got a few points at the end, and it was 0:55:50.587 --> 0:55:52.267 just like, Okay, we got this one in the back 0:55:52.827 --> 0:55:55.227 on this one that really felt like that. It's like 0:55:55.347 --> 0:55:57.267 that first game with the World Cup was like, oh, 0:55:57.307 --> 0:55:59.067 we got the wedding, but yeah, we've got a few 0:55:59.107 --> 0:55:59.667 news out of it. 0:56:00.227 --> 0:56:01.787 Yeah, I think we all need to look at this 0:56:01.947 --> 0:56:05.547 tour through your filter. Peter, I think you've actually landed 0:56:05.587 --> 0:56:10.427 on a really, really good way of negotiating this tour. Look, 0:56:10.707 --> 0:56:12.467 you know, in three or four weeks things might be 0:56:12.507 --> 0:56:14.667 a bit more serious, mate, But no, that's not a 0:56:14.707 --> 0:56:15.627 bad way of looking at it. 0:56:17.067 --> 0:56:20.507 Yeah, so I mean absolutely, I think I think there's 0:56:20.547 --> 0:56:23.627 some learnings to be had. I think there are some 0:56:23.987 --> 0:56:27.987 players that needed a little bit of game time that 0:56:28.067 --> 0:56:31.107 hadn't had them for a while. There were players who 0:56:31.387 --> 0:56:34.507 I think probably will be disappointed in their own performance. 0:56:34.507 --> 0:56:36.187 I think Voden Bear it's going to be one of them. 0:56:38.067 --> 0:56:41.507 But all in all, I. 0:56:41.547 --> 0:56:44.507 Still think the coaches are learning what their new toy 0:56:44.587 --> 0:56:48.027 can do. And I think by the end of it, 0:56:48.627 --> 0:56:49.547 we might be looking. 0:56:49.387 --> 0:56:52.747 At and going, well, you all and all not too bad? 0:56:53.467 --> 0:56:56.187 Love it, Peter, Love it mate. Let's chat throughout this 0:56:56.427 --> 0:56:59.987 and and inverted Comma's World Cup that we're on. Let's 0:57:00.307 --> 0:57:02.467 keep on charting the progress. Make good to hear from 0:57:02.507 --> 0:57:04.387 you again. Call back soon, jed. 0:57:04.267 --> 0:57:08.747 Hi, I hope the first time quarterback. I'm going to 0:57:08.787 --> 0:57:11.587 make a quick brief. I just wanted to touch on congression. 0:57:11.627 --> 0:57:12.667 Yeah, great result. 0:57:12.507 --> 0:57:14.547 Last night, but I just wanted an observation and it 0:57:14.667 --> 0:57:17.307 sort of brings in another part of the game. So 0:57:17.387 --> 0:57:20.307 I watched both games last night, the big games as 0:57:20.307 --> 0:57:23.187 the Warriors the Panthers, and then we jumped onto the 0:57:23.507 --> 0:57:26.587 Stormers All Blacks. What observation I saw is when I 0:57:26.707 --> 0:57:31.027 was watching the Warriors game, how I couldn't go. I said, Wow, 0:57:31.227 --> 0:57:33.267 this is just flowing. It's going from end to end 0:57:33.307 --> 0:57:35.627 and it was kind of acilerated. It was very few 0:57:35.667 --> 0:57:38.027 of a few stoppages. And when the All Black started 0:57:38.027 --> 0:57:39.747 with the Stormers in the first two minutes, I said, Oh, 0:57:39.827 --> 0:57:41.627 we're in for HALLI a fight here, and it's going 0:57:41.667 --> 0:57:44.627 to be awesome because of the speed. And then to me, 0:57:45.307 --> 0:57:47.867 it never became the All Blacks versus Stormers show. It 0:57:47.947 --> 0:57:52.147 became the referee versus Tmo versus referee show. And I'm 0:57:52.267 --> 0:57:55.667 just hoping that wild Ruggy as a whole can see 0:57:55.707 --> 0:57:59.107 what it's doing to that whole frustration, the slowing down, 0:57:59.187 --> 0:58:02.107 that that sort of thing doesn't make a good spectacle. 0:58:02.947 --> 0:58:06.267 Jed's a it's a very salient point. And having those 0:58:06.347 --> 0:58:08.067 two games so close together, you know what, mate, I 0:58:08.107 --> 0:58:10.427 thought exactly the same thing. In fact, I went back 0:58:10.507 --> 0:58:12.907 and I checked how long the first half took, like 0:58:12.987 --> 0:58:14.707 a first this is in the Rugby this morning first 0:58:14.707 --> 0:58:19.107 half forty minutes, right, this morning's first half ended fifty 0:58:19.267 --> 0:58:22.347 one minutes after it started. So that tells you just 0:58:22.467 --> 0:58:26.267 how much the TMO, the referee stoppages, all that sort 0:58:26.307 --> 0:58:30.427 of thing were there. And yeah, I mean there's no 0:58:30.667 --> 0:58:33.027 you know, there's there is a comparison to me made 0:58:33.707 --> 0:58:36.467 like you. I like both both sports, but RUDG, you 0:58:36.587 --> 0:58:38.147 just need to be a little bit careful, don't they. 0:58:38.227 --> 0:58:40.427 You know, we can't have fifty one minute halves and 0:58:40.507 --> 0:58:42.827 the TMO coming in and looking at the screen for 0:58:42.907 --> 0:58:44.387 sort of a minute or two at a time when 0:58:44.387 --> 0:58:45.947 there's no action on the field. 0:58:45.987 --> 0:58:47.707 Can we totally? 0:58:47.867 --> 0:58:48.187 Totally? 0:58:48.347 --> 0:58:50.467 And yeah, I just sometimes I feel like, you know 0:58:50.587 --> 0:58:53.467 what we are. We got this right, will Rugby got 0:58:53.507 --> 0:58:55.867 this right. The refie got this right because as a 0:58:55.907 --> 0:58:58.707 spectacle you know, yeah, it was talking cheese between the 0:58:58.787 --> 0:59:00.987 two of them last night. The first ten minutes, Hey, 0:59:01.587 --> 0:59:04.707 unbelievable for a brilliant game, and then it just changed. 0:59:05.147 --> 0:59:07.067 Yeah, I agree, I was. I was watching that first 0:59:07.107 --> 0:59:10.107 ten minutes and Tokayahu got the try and Rattam was 0:59:10.187 --> 0:59:12.107 quick to the ruck and they were running it and 0:59:12.187 --> 0:59:14.347 they were being very optimistic, in the words of Dave 0:59:14.427 --> 0:59:16.467 Anny and then yeah that was and I thought, this 0:59:16.587 --> 0:59:18.587 is going to be fantastic. This is going to be 0:59:19.067 --> 0:59:22.027 an absolute, you know, absolute barn stormer. But you're right, 0:59:22.187 --> 0:59:24.667 it just sort of yeah, the referee got involved, and 0:59:24.827 --> 0:59:26.867 I don't like to blame them necessarily, but yeah, there 0:59:26.947 --> 0:59:27.947 was a lot of interference. 0:59:28.267 --> 0:59:31.347 But yeah, all right, that's all I wanted to say, 0:59:31.387 --> 0:59:32.067 Thank you very much. 0:59:32.427 --> 0:59:33.027 Enjoy your show. 0:59:33.387 --> 0:59:35.227 No good on your Jed called anytime, mate, now that 0:59:35.307 --> 0:59:37.107 you've got your debut out of the way, A good 0:59:37.187 --> 0:59:40.187 day boo as well, good solid showing from you, Jed. 0:59:40.707 --> 0:59:42.987 You got the number now, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. 0:59:43.027 --> 0:59:43.627 Good to hear from you. 0:59:43.707 --> 0:59:49.267 Hello, Jamie, great Jason. Yeah, the last cause just spill on. 0:59:49.427 --> 0:59:52.547 I mean, just the amount of stubbleges from the TMO. 0:59:52.747 --> 0:59:55.107 It's compared to the league last night. Although we could 0:59:55.147 --> 0:59:58.507 have done with that fourth pass that would have been handy, 0:59:58.587 --> 1:00:02.947 but last night, yeah, you're right, yeah, but but yes, 1:00:03.267 --> 1:00:07.907 but totally it's yeahs sort of yeah, what can be 1:00:07.907 --> 1:00:09.827 a great game to Wat's but you know, getting games 1:00:09.907 --> 1:00:14.627 like this morning it's yeah, just yeah, frustrating with TMO, 1:00:15.067 --> 1:00:18.587 I mean pulling up, you know, especially after a try 1:00:18.667 --> 1:00:20.267 scored and then you rub it out and then get 1:00:20.347 --> 1:00:26.067 yellow card. But but yeah, also yeah those yeah, those 1:00:26.227 --> 1:00:29.947 those four points you made just before the air break. Yeah, 1:00:29.987 --> 1:00:32.387 spot on. And we need, I mean, we all want 1:00:32.427 --> 1:00:35.787 to see an exciting up timbo game from the Allbacks. 1:00:35.827 --> 1:00:39.147 But those those four four issues you brought up, I 1:00:39.947 --> 1:00:42.027 can better bite us in recent years, and we need 1:00:42.107 --> 1:00:45.587 to really you know, get you know, you know, improve 1:00:45.667 --> 1:00:48.507 and improven all of them pretty much. The high border, discipline, 1:00:48.787 --> 1:00:51.027 the set piece. Yeah, it's it's you know, it needs 1:00:51.547 --> 1:00:53.547 we need if we do to come close to being 1:00:53.587 --> 1:00:54.667 in the spring Box upheel. 1:00:55.307 --> 1:00:57.387 Yeah, and I think we'll all agree, Jamie. If we 1:00:57.467 --> 1:00:59.587 play like that for the rest of the two, the 1:00:59.667 --> 1:01:02.627 spring Box will beat us. But I don't think we 1:01:02.667 --> 1:01:04.947 will play like that for the rest of this two. 1:01:05.067 --> 1:01:06.587 It was the first game, Like I said, a lot 1:01:06.627 --> 1:01:08.547 of guys hadn't played rugby for a while. It was 1:01:08.547 --> 1:01:11.227 a good opportunity to blow out some cobwebs. And look, 1:01:11.747 --> 1:01:14.907 there'll be major changes for the next game against the Sharks, 1:01:14.947 --> 1:01:18.987 as as Dave Ronie's you know kind of almost telegraphed 1:01:19.267 --> 1:01:21.707 he's going to run out of shadow test fifteen on 1:01:22.387 --> 1:01:24.867 Wednesday morning. So if you and I having the same 1:01:24.907 --> 1:01:27.027 conversation on Wednesday morning, which we won't be because I'm 1:01:27.027 --> 1:01:29.547 not in the radio, but if we were and the 1:01:29.587 --> 1:01:33.067 same same things had happened again that happened today, then 1:01:33.107 --> 1:01:34.707 I think would be it would have more of a 1:01:34.747 --> 1:01:36.987 front road brow But yeah, let's wait to see what 1:01:36.987 --> 1:01:42.907 happens on Wednesday. But you know it's yeah, one and done. 1:01:43.067 --> 1:01:45.387 I'm sure we'll get better, Jamie. That's a that's a 1:01:45.467 --> 1:01:48.587 great summary. I'm sure will get better, and I have 1:01:48.747 --> 1:01:51.467 trust in this coaching group that they will. Thanks for calling. Mate. 1:01:52.467 --> 1:01:56.347 Point made on text are rusty, performance fining, but enough 1:01:56.387 --> 1:01:58.667 glimpses for me to have confidence in this coaching group. 1:02:01.667 --> 1:02:04.827 Get rid of the TMO. It's the final bit of 1:02:04.907 --> 1:02:08.267 that text. Hey, gee, and I. 1:02:08.347 --> 1:02:09.987 Agree with you with the TMOS. They had a lot 1:02:10.067 --> 1:02:12.267 of a lot of influence on that game. I think 1:02:12.267 --> 1:02:13.987 they should be gone. I don't like them. I mean 1:02:14.067 --> 1:02:16.947 in any game you know all back seeing you know 1:02:17.107 --> 1:02:19.627 meyor you go the TMO sports sports, the game you 1:02:19.667 --> 1:02:21.507 know I used to you know, I used to referee myself, 1:02:21.827 --> 1:02:24.067 and I rather do it on my own without having 1:02:24.307 --> 1:02:26.307 all that support around, you know what I mean. It's 1:02:26.347 --> 1:02:28.187 good to have them, but in the other day, you 1:02:28.467 --> 1:02:30.307 hear them in your ear all the time. It sort 1:02:30.307 --> 1:02:31.987 of gets annoying. So I just shut off. I used 1:02:31.987 --> 1:02:33.947 to shut off sometimes and just do it my own way. 1:02:34.907 --> 1:02:39.507 Yeah, Richie, I I sort of. I think most people 1:02:39.587 --> 1:02:42.387 would would gladly go back to the good old days 1:02:43.107 --> 1:02:45.747 where the bloke on the field or whoever it was 1:02:45.827 --> 1:02:48.227 on the field, makes the decision and they're going to 1:02:48.267 --> 1:02:50.707 get some wrong. We're all human, but we live with 1:02:50.787 --> 1:02:51.507 it and we move on. 1:02:51.707 --> 1:02:51.867 You know. 1:02:51.987 --> 1:02:53.587 It's the same in a lot of sports them, mate, 1:02:53.587 --> 1:02:57.907 I mean, var and football has has been the catalyst 1:02:57.987 --> 1:03:01.027 for the same sorts of conversations. But this morning it 1:03:01.147 --> 1:03:04.547 just seems like, I don't know, I mean, the Storm's 1:03:04.547 --> 1:03:08.107 got that try and then was converted and we're almost 1:03:08.147 --> 1:03:11.147 back for kickoff, and the tmo's in there saying this 1:03:11.267 --> 1:03:14.507 has happened, and then Simon Parker gets a yellow cards 1:03:14.907 --> 1:03:16.787 they go back down to zero. Then they got another 1:03:16.867 --> 1:03:19.947 rolling mall. It was almost an identical try that they got, 1:03:20.147 --> 1:03:22.907 and the All Blacks were down to fourteen. It just 1:03:22.947 --> 1:03:24.707 seems like an overreach, you know. 1:03:25.587 --> 1:03:27.347 Yeah, I agree with you on that. I think they 1:03:27.427 --> 1:03:29.347 just get rid of them. Try it on, just just 1:03:29.467 --> 1:03:31.947 try it, you know, without a TMO, because yeah, Riffrey's 1:03:31.947 --> 1:03:33.787 going to make a wish who make you make cause? 1:03:33.827 --> 1:03:35.747 And it's not right for everybody. But end of the day, 1:03:36.067 --> 1:03:37.627 in the middle of the man in the middle should 1:03:37.627 --> 1:03:39.067 be controlling the game, not the TMO. 1:03:40.187 --> 1:03:42.427 Yeah, I don't think you'll get an argument from many people, Richie. 1:03:42.667 --> 1:03:45.747 Thanks for calling through, mate, and eight hundred and eighty 1:03:45.827 --> 1:03:47.067 ten eighty for the first time, I think in the 1:03:47.147 --> 1:03:48.787 ninety minutes we've been on the air. There's a spare 1:03:48.827 --> 1:03:50.387 line if you want to chat about the All Blacks. 1:03:50.427 --> 1:03:52.147 We'd love to hear from you. Eight hundred and eighty 1:03:52.187 --> 1:03:54.787 ten eighty anything get picked up on. I've picked out 1:03:54.787 --> 1:03:57.347 a couple of things which I presume will be work on, 1:03:57.467 --> 1:03:59.427 so I don't think there's any rocket signs in them. 1:03:59.987 --> 1:04:02.787 The aerial game, the you know, the the mall defense. 1:04:03.787 --> 1:04:07.427 That's a really tricky part of the game. Jason Ryan, 1:04:07.507 --> 1:04:10.347 I think is the main guy who looks after this 1:04:10.467 --> 1:04:15.147 sort of thing. But you know, if a Ford pack 1:04:15.267 --> 1:04:18.907 like the stormers can can achieve what they did this 1:04:19.067 --> 1:04:22.547 morning from a line out drive, then absolutely the other 1:04:22.787 --> 1:04:24.627 teams that the All Blacks play will be able to 1:04:24.827 --> 1:04:28.547 and the spring box will be able to. So we 1:04:28.787 --> 1:04:32.747 simply cannot afford to give away penalties in an area 1:04:32.827 --> 1:04:36.187 sort of in and around half way for example, where 1:04:36.907 --> 1:04:39.227 they can kick for the line or even further in 1:04:39.467 --> 1:04:42.307 you know, kickable penalties which they turned down and say no, 1:04:42.467 --> 1:04:45.187 we're going to kick for the line instead. You know, 1:04:45.267 --> 1:04:49.827 teams have got very good at it. So moll defense 1:04:50.667 --> 1:04:53.467 is clearly going to have to be a bit of 1:04:53.507 --> 1:04:57.547 a work on for the All Blacks, and you know that. 1:04:58.387 --> 1:05:01.347 I'm sure it was before they jumped on the plane today. 1:05:01.387 --> 1:05:06.067 We'll just confirm a few things for them. The scrums 1:05:06.107 --> 1:05:07.867 were just a bit messy went there, and I'm not 1:05:07.947 --> 1:05:11.187 sure and again I thought maybe the maybe there was 1:05:11.267 --> 1:05:14.627 a bit of pedantry from the referees as well. He 1:05:14.747 --> 1:05:17.867 just didn't seem to just didn't seem to like our 1:05:17.907 --> 1:05:21.907 scrum very much. The sort of trendy phrases. You've got 1:05:21.947 --> 1:05:26.027 to show the officials the right pictures, whatever that means. 1:05:26.627 --> 1:05:30.467 But clearly we weren't showing him the right pictures. For 1:05:30.627 --> 1:05:37.307 parts of today. Zach, I mate, yeah, look good, Zach. Good. 1:05:37.467 --> 1:05:38.227 Did you watch the game? 1:05:39.387 --> 1:05:39.547 Yeah? 1:05:39.587 --> 1:05:40.427 I don't enough to watch it. 1:05:40.587 --> 1:05:41.667 Yep, what do you think? 1:05:43.307 --> 1:05:46.867 All really starting to show signs on the style that 1:05:47.027 --> 1:05:50.467 Dave wants to play. But that's a bit of concerns 1:05:50.507 --> 1:05:54.907 around the TMOS. You know, that first forty minutes was 1:05:55.227 --> 1:05:57.347 you know, it's fifty two minutes to play, like he 1:05:57.387 --> 1:05:58.707 has a lot of animof. 1:05:59.947 --> 1:06:02.467 It's hard to know what the what the players can 1:06:02.547 --> 1:06:05.787 do about today, you know, I mean they can't really 1:06:05.827 --> 1:06:07.267 do a heck of a lot about that. If the 1:06:07.347 --> 1:06:10.587 TMO wants to get involved and takes it upon himself 1:06:10.667 --> 1:06:13.067 to get involved, I'm not sure what the players and 1:06:13.147 --> 1:06:15.667 the coaches can really do about that. 1:06:17.427 --> 1:06:18.627 Yeah, you just got to go to the. 1:06:19.067 --> 1:06:23.307 Word rugby and I guess to review the rules and yeah, 1:06:23.387 --> 1:06:26.027 like they wanted to speed the game up, and like 1:06:26.227 --> 1:06:29.027 look at Super Rugby less time than the TMO, and 1:06:29.907 --> 1:06:34.427 game has been stetter. But looking at the international like, yeah, 1:06:35.427 --> 1:06:37.307 that's a nine for a fan point of view. You know, 1:06:37.467 --> 1:06:40.147 when the Storm has scored that first try and we 1:06:40.227 --> 1:06:43.347 went back and start Park got that yellow card, like 1:06:43.867 --> 1:06:45.747 they already converted the try and Yeah. 1:06:46.907 --> 1:06:49.987 Great comparisons, AC and good point as well, because all 1:06:50.067 --> 1:06:52.467 of these All Black players have played Super Rugby and 1:06:52.547 --> 1:06:55.147 have been used to, you know, the way that the 1:06:55.227 --> 1:06:58.067 game is officiated in Super Rugby, and all of a sudden, 1:06:58.147 --> 1:07:01.507 now it's different because we're at international level. They've always 1:07:01.547 --> 1:07:03.947 had to adjust. But it's a good point. And yeah, 1:07:03.987 --> 1:07:07.947 and the fan experience in Super Rugby was improved immeasurably 1:07:08.867 --> 1:07:13.387 when they took the TMO interference out of it, when 1:07:13.427 --> 1:07:17.147 they limited the amounts of TMO interference. It's a good point, Zach. 1:07:17.387 --> 1:07:21.587 Thanks for calling Steve. Hello Steve, Jason, how are you doing. 1:07:21.667 --> 1:07:21.787 Hey? 1:07:21.827 --> 1:07:26.427 Love your workers always, mate. Hey, really, the look the 1:07:26.507 --> 1:07:28.027 TMO is going to be part of the game. We 1:07:28.107 --> 1:07:31.027 can't really do much about it. But what I wanted 1:07:31.067 --> 1:07:33.987 to say Jason is I can't remember the last time 1:07:34.067 --> 1:07:36.387 the All Blacks played a test that we haven't had 1:07:36.427 --> 1:07:39.147 someone with a yellow card. It just seems to be 1:07:39.267 --> 1:07:43.827 game after game after game after game. And it's as 1:07:43.867 --> 1:07:46.427 I said, the TMO is it's just you just have 1:07:46.547 --> 1:07:48.507 to play the game. But we just seem to be 1:07:48.587 --> 1:07:51.587 getting ourselves into situations. We were always getting a player 1:07:51.627 --> 1:07:52.147 off the field. 1:07:52.187 --> 1:07:53.147 I mean, how good. 1:07:53.187 --> 1:07:55.267 Can any All Black side or any team be that 1:07:55.347 --> 1:07:57.227 they can get through a game without having someone in 1:07:57.347 --> 1:07:57.587 the bin? 1:07:57.747 --> 1:08:01.347 Jason, Yes, Steve, you're right, and not just one today 1:08:01.467 --> 1:08:04.427 three two of them overlapping, so for a while they're 1:08:04.467 --> 1:08:07.147 playing rugby league with only three team out there. 1:08:07.507 --> 1:08:07.707 Yeah. 1:08:07.787 --> 1:08:09.987 And then yeah, and you can you can argue as 1:08:10.027 --> 1:08:11.467 much as you like. That was a bit softer. I 1:08:11.507 --> 1:08:12.827 don't know what that one was for. Like I said, 1:08:12.827 --> 1:08:14.787 I'm not sure the anton Lett Brown one was was 1:08:14.987 --> 1:08:17.747 was totally one hundred percent justified, but it's a yellow card, 1:08:18.227 --> 1:08:20.307 so you make adjustments. But yeah, it's hard enough to 1:08:20.347 --> 1:08:21.867 beat these blokes with fifteen. 1:08:22.427 --> 1:08:24.147 Yeah, and we just seem to be it's always, you 1:08:24.227 --> 1:08:27.507 know that the the higher tackle or you know, getting 1:08:27.507 --> 1:08:29.427 on the other side of the ruck and you know, 1:08:29.507 --> 1:08:32.787 getting ourselves off side and just constant penalty penalty, penalty 1:08:32.867 --> 1:08:34.867 penalty for the same thing, and then we're on a 1:08:34.947 --> 1:08:37.067 warning and then it doesn't matter what the infringement is. 1:08:37.187 --> 1:08:39.547 The next guy's off and I mean, we're just not adjusting. 1:08:40.507 --> 1:08:42.947 And I just don't see how, you know, as I say, 1:08:43.027 --> 1:08:44.627 I mean, I just can't remember the last All Black 1:08:44.707 --> 1:08:46.987 tests we We've played a full game with fifteen players. 1:08:48.067 --> 1:08:50.987 Yeah, I'll get I'll get my team of researchers to 1:08:51.067 --> 1:08:53.507 go back and check Steve. But yeah, we seem to 1:08:53.507 --> 1:08:55.867 have had a few guys on that plastic chair on 1:08:56.027 --> 1:08:58.547 halfway over the last little while. Let's hope that it 1:08:58.627 --> 1:09:00.587 doesn't come back to bite us in the in the 1:09:00.627 --> 1:09:02.627 weeks ahead. Good to hear from your Steve. Thanks for 1:09:02.747 --> 1:09:06.347 calling in, Marius. Marius, you must be quaking in your 1:09:06.507 --> 1:09:09.867 boats about the All Blacks coming to take that series 1:09:09.947 --> 1:09:10.787 in South Africa. 1:09:12.467 --> 1:09:17.867 I indeed, yeah, yeah, get up in piney, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1:09:17.867 --> 1:09:20.587 I think it was. I was fortunate enough to be 1:09:20.667 --> 1:09:24.027 at the at thest match last night and and what 1:09:24.147 --> 1:09:27.147 a spectacle by the bother was and I think it 1:09:27.387 --> 1:09:30.667 was again just watching the Stormers matches morning again, what 1:09:30.707 --> 1:09:33.187 a loads of all? What are the callers have said 1:09:33.227 --> 1:09:36.387 that the contrast between the flow of the match, which 1:09:36.427 --> 1:09:39.947 I think rugby is really careful. I've only been in 1:09:39.987 --> 1:09:42.267 this country for three years and prior to moving in 1:09:42.387 --> 1:09:44.587 and anything my rugby league and it's amazing. I fought 1:09:44.627 --> 1:09:47.227 fall in love with it because of the entertainment, because 1:09:47.227 --> 1:09:50.347 of the spectacle, because of the flow and and the 1:09:50.387 --> 1:09:53.987 quick decision making by the f and I suppose last 1:09:54.067 --> 1:09:55.867 night there were a lot of decisions which which were 1:09:56.147 --> 1:09:58.147 which were doubtful. But I suppose the man in the 1:09:58.187 --> 1:09:59.827 middle has got the whistle. He just made it all, 1:10:01.427 --> 1:10:03.827 which which I think the game cety needs. I think 1:10:03.867 --> 1:10:05.787 I think with regards to the all Blacks in in 1:10:05.867 --> 1:10:08.027 so Africa, I think I think credit needs to also 1:10:08.067 --> 1:10:09.067 be given to the Stormers. 1:10:11.067 --> 1:10:12.147 I think they did play well. 1:10:12.227 --> 1:10:14.187 To think you A lot of their stream box are 1:10:14.707 --> 1:10:15.307 taken out. 1:10:15.187 --> 1:10:17.147 The back end and they are on the either on 1:10:17.227 --> 1:10:18.707 their way to Argent, you know, agent either for. 1:10:18.747 --> 1:10:22.467 Tomorrow morning's match, or on the awaiting the door Blacks. 1:10:22.707 --> 1:10:24.027 So I think I think there was a lot of 1:10:24.067 --> 1:10:26.187 a lot of a lot of good plases from that perspective, 1:10:26.227 --> 1:10:28.227 and and and again, like you're Alner said, you know, 1:10:28.267 --> 1:10:29.987 it was almost like a World Cup opening match against 1:10:29.987 --> 1:10:33.027 the minnow team, which I think brings out a different 1:10:33.107 --> 1:10:36.547 kind of emotion and different kind of nervousness. Because the 1:10:36.827 --> 1:10:39.267 Stormers had nothing to lose and and they were they 1:10:39.307 --> 1:10:43.147 were first, they had a bit of a poetic license 1:10:43.267 --> 1:10:44.827 to do, to pre creative. 1:10:45.387 --> 1:10:48.187 It was a bit disappointing. I feel that the fact 1:10:48.227 --> 1:10:51.507 that following those yellow cards. They can get creative when 1:10:51.547 --> 1:10:54.347 they had the overlaps, given the space and the speed 1:10:54.387 --> 1:10:57.947 I've gotten outside. But again I think comes I'm just 1:10:58.507 --> 1:11:01.307 frosting at at the at the l Black match in 1:11:01.347 --> 1:11:03.027 the in two weeks time, I think it's going to 1:11:03.067 --> 1:11:04.627 be one out of a technical. 1:11:04.547 --> 1:11:07.427 Oh, I agree, Marius. And I've the more sort of 1:11:07.467 --> 1:11:09.467 watching the All Blacks, you know, sort of settle in 1:11:09.547 --> 1:11:11.347 and cape down over the last week and watching the 1:11:11.667 --> 1:11:14.267 footage come back, and you know, getting ready for the 1:11:14.627 --> 1:11:16.667 the entrees like the game this morning and the in 1:11:16.747 --> 1:11:19.467 the next couple I think the test matches are just 1:11:19.587 --> 1:11:21.747 going to be epic, mate, aren't they. They're just going 1:11:21.827 --> 1:11:26.067 to be magnificent contests. And and look, I'm sure, as 1:11:26.267 --> 1:11:29.507 you know I said, I'm sure Rassi Erasmus isn't quaking 1:11:29.547 --> 1:11:32.187 in his boots at what he saw this morning. But 1:11:32.347 --> 1:11:35.107 with a couple of weeks over there and some some 1:11:36.067 --> 1:11:38.267 some little tweaks, I just think it's going to be 1:11:38.267 --> 1:11:39.187 a terrific series. 1:11:40.347 --> 1:11:41.067 Oh sad. 1:11:41.267 --> 1:11:45.227 And I can tell you that any Springbok supporter that 1:11:45.307 --> 1:11:48.227 seems I can underestimate an All Black team has got 1:11:48.227 --> 1:11:51.107 something come up with them, you know. The respect between 1:11:51.147 --> 1:11:55.027 the two nations amens, and I think the All Blacks 1:11:55.067 --> 1:11:57.307 have got a point to prove and I think that 1:11:57.667 --> 1:11:59.587 it makes it makes it dangerous, and I think that's 1:11:59.627 --> 1:12:02.707 what wild rag Me needs. And ending the spring books 1:12:02.707 --> 1:12:06.067 can be get me too comfortable. I'm a di dioce 1:12:06.387 --> 1:12:07.707 and a dollar string work support, huh. 1:12:08.027 --> 1:12:10.427 But but yeah, I think now the day for anything 1:12:10.427 --> 1:12:13.147 in the mix, just the style of rugby is positive. 1:12:13.827 --> 1:12:15.507 The boys are throwing the ball around. There's some new 1:12:15.667 --> 1:12:18.587 some new tenants coming through, which which yeah, I think 1:12:18.627 --> 1:12:21.347 it's gonna it's gonna be a massive spectacle and pretty jealous. 1:12:21.387 --> 1:12:23.547 I'm not over there because I think it's it's gonna 1:12:23.547 --> 1:12:23.987 be amazing. 1:12:24.307 --> 1:12:26.067 See busy time coming up for you might You've got 1:12:26.107 --> 1:12:28.267 to watch these rugby tastes and then the back end 1:12:28.307 --> 1:12:30.787 of the Warriors season into the finals as well, Hey 1:12:30.787 --> 1:12:31.907 are you gonna get your work done? 1:12:33.147 --> 1:12:35.947 Oh night living the dream one night so unfortunately early 1:12:35.947 --> 1:12:38.227 in the morning and fortunate after a nine year old boy. 1:12:38.147 --> 1:12:40.267 Playing out of Gas Coast Bays. That's just as passion 1:12:40.307 --> 1:12:42.827 as me. So any kind of rugby living the dream. 1:12:42.867 --> 1:12:45.307 So but yeah, I think we fortunate. We can supports 1:12:45.667 --> 1:12:47.667 many few teams in this country and great and a 1:12:47.707 --> 1:12:50.467 great supports long mad love because I feel I feel 1:12:50.507 --> 1:12:53.627 that this country needs a bit of positivity. 1:12:53.067 --> 1:12:56.387 With regard to rugby union. Just looking at the junior 1:12:56.467 --> 1:13:00.267 junior at the junior club lub level and the numbers. 1:13:00.867 --> 1:13:03.547 Very well, Sarrius. Yeah, not a different topic, Mike. We 1:13:03.587 --> 1:13:05.547 can chat about that another day, Drives Safe. Good to 1:13:05.627 --> 1:13:09.987 hear from you. Thanks for calling in, Anthony high good Bonny. 1:13:10.547 --> 1:13:12.787 Hey, you know, just just about the game this morning. 1:13:13.587 --> 1:13:15.227 I was just thinking that the All Blacks with this. 1:13:15.347 --> 1:13:19.787 High temple game that they want to play in saying 1:13:19.827 --> 1:13:21.907 that that that the team, of course will be a 1:13:21.947 --> 1:13:25.227 little bit different, but I just hope that they realized 1:13:25.227 --> 1:13:27.667 that they have to earn that right. You know, to 1:13:28.107 --> 1:13:31.587 play that high temple, you need to be upfront, you 1:13:32.067 --> 1:13:34.907 need to be on at least at power over the 1:13:34.907 --> 1:13:36.947 spring box or at least if you can have a 1:13:36.987 --> 1:13:40.547 little bit of ascendency. But playing that higher, that higher 1:13:40.667 --> 1:13:44.987 tame game, it's pretty risky. I mean, the rewards is spectacular, 1:13:45.107 --> 1:13:47.027 but it is still very very risky. 1:13:47.707 --> 1:13:48.147 Mm hmm. 1:13:48.627 --> 1:13:48.827 Yeah. 1:13:49.387 --> 1:13:52.107 And yeah, and especially in the learning stages. I think 1:13:52.147 --> 1:13:54.507 in July we saw, you know, a team getting used 1:13:54.507 --> 1:13:58.027 to doing it, and the execution wasn't quite there. And look, 1:13:58.067 --> 1:13:59.507 they've still got a couple of games to get there. 1:13:59.547 --> 1:14:02.267 But you're so right, Anthony. It's it's high risk, high reward, 1:14:02.347 --> 1:14:05.307 isn't it? And where is the balance to be struck 1:14:05.347 --> 1:14:06.187 when you play that straight? 1:14:07.627 --> 1:14:07.987 Correct? 1:14:08.067 --> 1:14:08.227 Yeah? 1:14:08.307 --> 1:14:11.987 And and the thing is is that I just hope 1:14:12.027 --> 1:14:15.827 that that Dave and the team can just sort of 1:14:15.947 --> 1:14:19.947 like initially, you know, like especially that first forty fifty minutes, 1:14:20.147 --> 1:14:24.307 just make sure that they actually matched the spring Rocks 1:14:24.307 --> 1:14:27.267 as far as as the forwards goes, because if there's 1:14:27.387 --> 1:14:30.987 no I mean there's no parody in the in the forwards, 1:14:31.307 --> 1:14:33.547 there's no way that we can pete it high high 1:14:33.587 --> 1:14:34.147 tempo game. 1:14:36.347 --> 1:14:38.747 I have no argument, Anthony, none at all. I am 1:14:38.867 --> 1:14:41.787 in passionate agreement with you, mate, absolutely, And look, and 1:14:42.027 --> 1:14:44.227 I'm sure that there that they feel the same way. 1:14:44.267 --> 1:14:45.947 I think, you know, they do want to play this 1:14:46.307 --> 1:14:49.547 high tempo style, this optimistic style, get it wide, find 1:14:49.587 --> 1:14:52.387 the spaces, that sort of thing. But you're did right, mate, 1:14:52.427 --> 1:14:56.587 You simply cannot do that without a platform established up front. 1:14:56.667 --> 1:14:58.547 And well, they say it all starts up front. I 1:14:58.587 --> 1:14:59.747 think it's always been the way. 1:15:01.387 --> 1:15:02.507 That's the way it goes planing. 1:15:02.547 --> 1:15:05.667 That's the way you might have a good one, you too, Anthony. 1:15:05.827 --> 1:15:08.227 Great to to you mate. Seventeen away from two. We'll 1:15:08.227 --> 1:15:09.867 take a break, come back, get across the tears Ofman 1:15:09.907 --> 1:15:11.747 Australian Correspondent Adam Peacock. 1:15:11.787 --> 1:15:15.507 After this here one matters in sports. We can sport 1:15:15.787 --> 1:15:19.187 with Jason Vine and the Audi Q seven Dynamic Black 1:15:19.267 --> 1:15:22.947 Runout edition available at your local Audi dealership. News Talks. 1:15:22.947 --> 1:15:26.027 He'd be one forty six. Let's get you across the Tasman, 1:15:26.187 --> 1:15:29.387 our regular catch up with Australian correspondent to Adam Peacock. 1:15:29.507 --> 1:15:31.627 Up in but cold over here, mate, what's your weather 1:15:31.707 --> 1:15:31.987 been like? 1:15:32.507 --> 1:15:37.307 Fresh As Australians, we're not useful people live in Sydney anyway. 1:15:37.907 --> 1:15:41.147 Not used to walking around Saint paula Bear's walk down 1:15:41.147 --> 1:15:41.467 the street. 1:15:41.507 --> 1:15:42.627 But there was a couple this week. 1:15:43.787 --> 1:15:44.027 Love it. 1:15:44.147 --> 1:15:48.427 Let's talk some sport. The Wallabies into the lez kiss era. 1:15:48.987 --> 1:15:51.907 He is now head coach of the Australian rugby side. 1:15:51.947 --> 1:15:56.107 They take on Japan but later on tonight. That's a 1:15:56.147 --> 1:15:58.187 bit of a soft landing, isn't it. They should be okay, 1:15:58.267 --> 1:16:00.307 there should be. 1:16:01.947 --> 1:16:04.027 Could be probably will be. 1:16:04.427 --> 1:16:05.947 So you can sense that. 1:16:05.947 --> 1:16:09.787 I'm not totally certain. Over there we're talking about it 1:16:09.947 --> 1:16:13.067 is going to be disgustingly humid and hot, So I 1:16:13.227 --> 1:16:15.667 don't think we're in for a free running spectacle. 1:16:15.867 --> 1:16:17.547 I think there's going to be a bit of spilled pill. 1:16:17.667 --> 1:16:22.147 But given the humidity and in contact, ball going to 1:16:22.187 --> 1:16:26.067 be flying out and everything. So yeah, Australia just need 1:16:26.147 --> 1:16:30.347 to put down a really aggressive performance. Eddie Jones is 1:16:30.467 --> 1:16:33.947 Japan's coach, of course, talking to a couple of journals 1:16:34.027 --> 1:16:36.667 are over there, they are a bit let down by 1:16:36.707 --> 1:16:39.147 the fact that Eddie did his press conference via zoom, 1:16:39.267 --> 1:16:43.827 not face to face, which was a bit unusual. So 1:16:44.067 --> 1:16:47.267 there was there's no combative Eddie, just a little barb 1:16:47.387 --> 1:16:50.907 to say Australia should win really all the pressures on them, 1:16:51.227 --> 1:16:52.747 So yeah, we'll see. 1:16:53.227 --> 1:16:57.507 He never fails to he never fails to chuck a 1:16:57.547 --> 1:16:59.747 little barb. And as you say, so Australia coming off 1:16:59.787 --> 1:17:02.827 the back of what in July, the narrow lost to Ireland, 1:17:02.867 --> 1:17:05.547 the lost of France and then the big win over Italy. 1:17:05.707 --> 1:17:07.707 So what sort of tame as les kiss and hereting 1:17:07.787 --> 1:17:08.187 do you think? 1:17:09.787 --> 1:17:12.627 Yeah, pretty much, Joe Schmitz and not much is going 1:17:12.707 --> 1:17:15.307 to change. I don't think Eddie actually said it himself. 1:17:15.347 --> 1:17:19.147 He goes, well, Les and Joe cut from the similar cloth. 1:17:19.227 --> 1:17:23.547 I'd say it so I couldn't imagine too much stylistically changing. 1:17:24.027 --> 1:17:24.227 Look. 1:17:24.307 --> 1:17:25.387 Cohesion is the big one. 1:17:25.307 --> 1:17:29.387 For the waller, but he's like our outside five pretty 1:17:29.467 --> 1:17:31.547 much been the same. But the nine and the ten 1:17:31.627 --> 1:17:34.627 that just can't get cohesion there. But you know that's 1:17:34.667 --> 1:17:38.627 pretty crucial. But that's linking everyone together. But yeah, we'll see. 1:17:39.467 --> 1:17:43.187 I think you'll a fair judgment after this suite of 1:17:43.267 --> 1:17:46.667 tests coming before the end of season tour. I think 1:17:46.787 --> 1:17:50.547 some good different opponents to be taken on, you know, 1:17:51.187 --> 1:17:56.107 Japan here, New Zealand's Arega Argentina will know a fair bit. 1:17:56.587 --> 1:18:00.387 I just hope there's I just hope let's kiss at 1:18:00.427 --> 1:18:01.867 the start gets a free run on it, and he 1:18:01.947 --> 1:18:04.427 doesn't have to go through thirty five players for instance, 1:18:04.667 --> 1:18:06.787 to start test matches by the end of the year, 1:18:07.307 --> 1:18:09.667 because then we're left with a bit of a mystery. Still. 1:18:09.907 --> 1:18:12.427 Yeah, indeed, let's go to the NRL Big Friday Night 1:18:12.907 --> 1:18:15.187 over here, the Warriors beat the Panthers. We've been talking 1:18:15.187 --> 1:18:17.747 at length about that on the show today. The Roosters 1:18:17.787 --> 1:18:20.667 needed to come from what eighteen eight down to eventually 1:18:20.747 --> 1:18:22.507 get up over the top of the Bulldogs. Man, this 1:18:22.627 --> 1:18:25.547 top four races heating up, isn't it all. 1:18:25.427 --> 1:18:27.827 Of a sudden? Yeah, Penrith have just cooled a bit. 1:18:28.067 --> 1:18:32.707 And the big one I think could be borderline premiership 1:18:32.787 --> 1:18:36.507 defining to Penrith is how bad Isaeo has looked like 1:18:36.587 --> 1:18:40.267 he ripped his peck from what we've learnt over the 1:18:40.347 --> 1:18:43.627 years about this particular injury. That's end of season straight away, 1:18:43.747 --> 1:18:46.427 So I hope not because he is such a good player. 1:18:46.867 --> 1:18:50.147 But Penrith still they wouldn't go away towards the end there. 1:18:50.187 --> 1:18:52.667 This is how good they are, even without Isao being 1:18:52.707 --> 1:18:56.187 down by twenty two whatever it was twenty four score 1:18:56.267 --> 1:18:58.627 those two late ones, have another one disallowed, you think, 1:18:58.627 --> 1:19:00.907 and if that one's not disallowed. 1:19:00.947 --> 1:19:02.507 It's going on very much so. 1:19:02.707 --> 1:19:05.147 But big win for the Wars and they're very much 1:19:05.227 --> 1:19:10.267 in the premiership consideration now everything is compressed. Rooster's had 1:19:10.267 --> 1:19:12.107 a really good win, as you mentioned, over the Dogs 1:19:12.147 --> 1:19:14.267 when they were looking like they were in all. 1:19:14.147 --> 1:19:14.787 Sorts of bother. 1:19:15.347 --> 1:19:18.667 Wasn't overly convincing, but still it was a good performance 1:19:18.747 --> 1:19:21.747 and the Sharks won't go away either. So yeah, there's 1:19:21.747 --> 1:19:24.627 four or five teams now that can legitimately look at it. 1:19:24.627 --> 1:19:25.947 And go we can win this season. 1:19:26.067 --> 1:19:28.267 Yeah. It's what makes it such a great campus, isn't it. 1:19:28.347 --> 1:19:30.067 You know, you just don't know, do you. And there 1:19:30.107 --> 1:19:32.227 are going to be teams who make the top two, 1:19:32.307 --> 1:19:33.947 the top four, the top eight, or miss out on 1:19:33.987 --> 1:19:36.827 the top eight by the by the bareest of margins, 1:19:36.867 --> 1:19:39.227 by a win here or there, even by points deaf. 1:19:39.467 --> 1:19:40.347 It's a great campus. 1:19:40.467 --> 1:19:42.707 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean. 1:19:42.707 --> 1:19:45.107 We look at the top four of last year and 1:19:45.347 --> 1:19:48.347 we thought, well, they're going to be there, probably not 1:19:48.387 --> 1:19:49.947 going to make the final of last year, so it's 1:19:49.947 --> 1:19:50.907 been flipped on as had a bit. 1:19:50.987 --> 1:19:52.827 Penrith have got their act together in the first. 1:19:52.667 --> 1:19:55.147 Half of the season. They jump out to this enormous 1:19:55.227 --> 1:19:56.907 lead and we think, well they're playing who in the 1:19:56.947 --> 1:19:59.707 Grand Final. But now it's all changed when they come 1:19:59.787 --> 1:20:02.787 back to the pack through and they can reset. 1:20:02.547 --> 1:20:02.987 And go again. 1:20:02.987 --> 1:20:03.547 They're that good. 1:20:03.667 --> 1:20:06.107 But man, this run into the finals is going to 1:20:06.107 --> 1:20:07.027 be superb. 1:20:07.227 --> 1:20:07.387 Yeah. 1:20:07.387 --> 1:20:09.267 I can't wait. And a but a Football News sister 1:20:09.347 --> 1:20:12.107 finish are we mcbill who was part of the soccer 1:20:12.227 --> 1:20:14.347 use set up. I think it was at the World Cup. Recently, 1:20:15.027 --> 1:20:18.907 he's spent the last decade also maybe even more playing overseas. 1:20:19.427 --> 1:20:22.067 He's coming back home to play for Melbourne City in 1:20:22.107 --> 1:20:23.267 the upcoming A League season. 1:20:24.187 --> 1:20:27.067 Yeah, he's a great story in life, continues brought up 1:20:27.067 --> 1:20:29.827 in a refugee camp in Africa and finds home in 1:20:30.347 --> 1:20:34.067 Australia and Adelaide and gets going there and bounced around 1:20:34.107 --> 1:20:36.787 a bit, but had some great life experiences and you know, 1:20:37.107 --> 1:20:40.747 I've got to playing some damn big occasions in club 1:20:40.787 --> 1:20:45.027 football overseas. He's back and tell you what point, He's 1:20:45.227 --> 1:20:47.627 the type of not only player, the person the A 1:20:47.787 --> 1:20:51.187 League needs right now in terms of being able to 1:20:51.227 --> 1:20:53.147 get out there and tell people about it because he's 1:20:53.147 --> 1:20:56.507 such a wonderful human being. He's one of the nicest 1:20:56.587 --> 1:21:00.787 kids I've ever met in sport, full stop. He speaks 1:21:00.827 --> 1:21:04.267 about his passions so well, which is very much football 1:21:04.347 --> 1:21:08.747 and very much what he does outside of football, which 1:21:08.827 --> 1:21:12.027 is looking up for people less advantaged than him or 1:21:12.067 --> 1:21:15.347 looking for a way through in life. So man, it's 1:21:15.347 --> 1:21:17.627 a really good sorry for the A League and man, 1:21:17.707 --> 1:21:20.587 if they've got a marketing budget, they should be chucking 1:21:20.627 --> 1:21:22.747 a few dollars his way and getting him out there 1:21:22.787 --> 1:21:24.747 in the community to tell people about the A League. 1:21:24.987 --> 1:21:27.827 Looking forward to having him back on the side of 1:21:27.867 --> 1:21:30.587 the world.

It's a huge pleasure to 1:26:51.947 --> 1:26:55.107 welcome in one of the biggest names in global boxing. 1:26:55.627 --> 1:26:59.067 Matchroom Sport chairman Eddie Hearn has promoted some of the 1:26:59.107 --> 1:27:03.467 sport's biggest stars and biggest events, and he's bringing another 1:27:03.547 --> 1:27:07.867 major card to Australia on Wednesday night, headlined by unbeaten 1:27:07.907 --> 1:27:12.987 Australian born heavyweight Teddy Mowana. Teddy Mowana against very dangerous 1:27:13.067 --> 1:27:16.267 American DeAndre Savage. This is all happening on the Gold 1:27:16.347 --> 1:27:18.827 Coast on Wednesday night. You can watch it here in 1:27:18.907 --> 1:27:21.867 New Zealand on de Zone. He thanks for joining us 1:27:21.867 --> 1:27:25.187 across New Zealand. You've described Teeddy Mowana Teddy Mowana as 1:27:25.267 --> 1:27:28.707 the future of the heavyweight division. That is quite the statement. 1:27:28.827 --> 1:27:31.347 What is it about him that makes you so convinced 1:27:31.707 --> 1:27:33.627 that he can become a world champion? 1:27:34.347 --> 1:27:36.507 Well, I think whenever you look at a young fighter 1:27:36.587 --> 1:27:38.747 coming through, you look at kind of their amateur. 1:27:38.427 --> 1:27:39.627 Career, the path. 1:27:41.107 --> 1:27:44.507 Historically any talented fighters that would have a very illustrious 1:27:44.747 --> 1:27:48.067 amateur career, which he did. He was an Olympian, I mean, 1:27:48.147 --> 1:27:50.587 lost a very close fight to the Olympic gold medalist. 1:27:51.227 --> 1:27:53.827 But I think it's the attributes that he has. I mean, firstly, 1:27:53.907 --> 1:27:56.187 this guy is. I mean, I'm six foot five and 1:27:56.467 --> 1:27:58.427 one hundred and ten kilos. I look up at this 1:27:58.547 --> 1:28:01.747 guy makes me feel like, you know, a speck on 1:28:01.827 --> 1:28:04.427 the ground. He is an absolute monster of a man, 1:28:04.587 --> 1:28:08.707 six foot eight, one hundred and twenty four kilos. But 1:28:09.587 --> 1:28:12.907 it's the boxing attributes that he has. He has tremendous footwork, 1:28:13.227 --> 1:28:16.467 he has great speed. I think he's the biggest puncher. 1:28:16.147 --> 1:28:16.787 In the division. 1:28:17.307 --> 1:28:20.427 But he also has this abundance of personality and character. 1:28:20.867 --> 1:28:23.467 You know, this long Samson like hair, you know, the 1:28:23.587 --> 1:28:26.467 hacker in the ring after the fire. I mean like, 1:28:26.627 --> 1:28:30.587 I literally think that Australia really has the absolute gem 1:28:30.987 --> 1:28:33.467 of the heavyweight division in their hands. And you know, 1:28:33.587 --> 1:28:37.267 Wednesday has his first big test, first headline fight, you know, 1:28:37.387 --> 1:28:38.987 against American DeAndre Savage. 1:28:39.027 --> 1:28:41.587 You're saying all the right things, He's talking a great game. 1:28:41.667 --> 1:28:44.107 He's been the distance with some very good, you know, 1:28:44.267 --> 1:28:48.187 world fringe world heavyweights as well. But the problem is 1:28:48.267 --> 1:28:51.307 when you get hit by this man, I don't think 1:28:51.347 --> 1:28:54.227 it matters who you are. I think it's a massive problem. 1:28:54.307 --> 1:28:56.787 And yeah, looking forward to a great night next Wednesday. 1:28:56.907 --> 1:28:59.747 Yeah, Sol, So we tell him one is eleven and 1:28:59.827 --> 1:29:03.667 oer with eleven knockouts, but DeAndre Savage has also won 1:29:03.747 --> 1:29:06.867 eleven of his twelve fights by knockouts. So is this 1:29:07.027 --> 1:29:08.747 the type of fight that is going to tell you 1:29:08.867 --> 1:29:11.627 whether Titamawana is a genuine contender. 1:29:12.907 --> 1:29:13.547 I think something. 1:29:13.627 --> 1:29:16.227 Look, there's still many levels to go beyond Savage to 1:29:16.307 --> 1:29:19.467 the world heavyweight title. But the problem is with Taramuana 1:29:19.667 --> 1:29:22.187 is although he's had eleven fights now, I think ten 1:29:22.267 --> 1:29:24.547 of those have been in the first round knockouts, so 1:29:25.227 --> 1:29:27.187 like he's not really I think I think the second 1:29:27.307 --> 1:29:29.067 round is is long as long as he's been, so 1:29:29.827 --> 1:29:31.347 you know, you want to make sure that when they 1:29:31.427 --> 1:29:34.427 take that big leap, they've got the experience. But as 1:29:34.467 --> 1:29:36.507 I said to you, the problem is because of our 1:29:36.547 --> 1:29:39.227 hard he punches, it's so hard for these guys. 1:29:39.067 --> 1:29:40.587 To get through the first and second round. 1:29:41.187 --> 1:29:43.787 And Savage is a big, big puncher, so they're going 1:29:43.867 --> 1:29:46.187 to go there's going to be a shootout, you know, 1:29:46.307 --> 1:29:51.187 and really historically shootouts only go two, three, four rounds, 1:29:51.227 --> 1:29:53.747 and I don't see this being much difference. I think 1:29:53.827 --> 1:29:55.707 both guys are going to meet in the middle of 1:29:55.747 --> 1:29:59.667 the ring. You know that everybody's dangerous. These guys, you've 1:29:59.707 --> 1:30:04.907 got massive knockout, you know records Tarawana Savage, even the 1:30:04.947 --> 1:30:07.107 guy fighting Michael's Raffor in the home main event, He's 1:30:07.147 --> 1:30:10.547 got twenty five knockouts in twenty six wins. So these 1:30:10.587 --> 1:30:13.467 guys are all very dangerous, and I hope that Savage 1:30:13.507 --> 1:30:16.787 can hang in there and give us some rounds. 1:30:17.547 --> 1:30:20.707 But it's a frightening, frightening proposition. 1:30:20.467 --> 1:30:22.587 As you say, idiot, you know there are a lot 1:30:22.627 --> 1:30:24.867 of steps for tell him or wanted to, you know, 1:30:24.987 --> 1:30:27.387 to become a world champion. Would you at some point 1:30:27.547 --> 1:30:30.427 like to see him test it over eight, nine, ten rounds? 1:30:31.267 --> 1:30:33.667 Love to you just don't know when that's going to come, 1:30:34.267 --> 1:30:35.747 you know, and at what level you might be in 1:30:35.827 --> 1:30:38.227 a position where that could be a fight for the 1:30:38.267 --> 1:30:41.027 world heavyweight title. And that's that's the danger when you're 1:30:41.027 --> 1:30:44.107 bringing someone through is you know they look great, they're 1:30:44.267 --> 1:30:46.827 you know, they're knocking all these people out. What are 1:30:46.827 --> 1:30:49.467 they like when they get into the trenches in the fifth, sixth, 1:30:49.507 --> 1:30:52.307 seventh round. I know I'd know that Temana's got the 1:30:52.347 --> 1:30:54.547 goods because I've seen him in those kind of fights 1:30:54.587 --> 1:30:57.507 in the amateurs. But the hard thing is is you 1:30:57.587 --> 1:31:02.107 know you really would like that test before you get there, 1:31:02.467 --> 1:31:04.987 you know, before you're in the World Heavyweight Championship fights. 1:31:05.027 --> 1:31:08.267 And you know, it's been so difficult to find an 1:31:08.307 --> 1:31:09.947 opponent for him from Australia. 1:31:10.347 --> 1:31:12.867 You know, like all of the Australian. 1:31:12.387 --> 1:31:15.307 Champions, all these guys we're offering and fortunes and they're 1:31:15.387 --> 1:31:17.227 just saying, not for me, thank you very much. And 1:31:17.747 --> 1:31:20.187 you know we'll probably have to step up eventually on 1:31:20.267 --> 1:31:23.707 that side of the world to a Hemia Hero, to 1:31:23.867 --> 1:31:28.187 a justin Justice honey, to a Joseph Parker. You know, 1:31:28.507 --> 1:31:30.387 they're the fights that I think will come in twenty 1:31:30.467 --> 1:31:33.387 twenty seven. And by the way, there'll be blockbuster knights. 1:31:33.467 --> 1:31:36.947 Yeah, looking forward to to Joseph Parker's return. Want to 1:31:37.027 --> 1:31:39.347 chat about that with you in a moment. But the 1:31:39.467 --> 1:31:42.347 heavyweight division on the whole in he feels healthier and 1:31:42.547 --> 1:31:45.427 more even than it has for years. So who is 1:31:45.507 --> 1:31:48.107 the fighter everybody has to beat right now? 1:31:49.187 --> 1:31:49.387 Yeah? 1:31:49.387 --> 1:31:51.187 It was quite I mean I always like to see 1:31:51.267 --> 1:31:53.907 one guy ruling because I think the fans always want 1:31:54.267 --> 1:31:57.067 to know who's the best, and that was Alexander Usik 1:31:57.147 --> 1:31:59.707 unquestionably for a long period of time. And as he 1:31:59.747 --> 1:32:02.827 approaches the back end of his career and relinquishes his belts. 1:32:03.267 --> 1:32:05.707 I think he's really exciting, you know. I mean, you've 1:32:05.747 --> 1:32:09.627 got a whole host of champions now, obviously in Daniel 1:32:09.667 --> 1:32:13.627 Dubois who's been a champion before, Agic Caabiel, who's you know, 1:32:13.707 --> 1:32:16.867 he's been given the title, but he's had some great wins, 1:32:17.347 --> 1:32:20.107 Murat Gasiev who's kind of been given the title as well. 1:32:20.147 --> 1:32:23.267 So the other two a bit questionable out of the 1:32:23.347 --> 1:32:26.107 champions at the moment. And then you've got Moses Talma 1:32:26.467 --> 1:32:29.467 coming up fighting Philip Perkovic on the Zone for the 1:32:29.547 --> 1:32:33.627 IBF title as well. Now, a Towner's an incredible talent, 1:32:33.907 --> 1:32:36.227 you know. I actually think that a Talma against Tara 1:32:36.267 --> 1:32:38.067 Mowana is going to be the fight probably for all 1:32:38.107 --> 1:32:42.107 the belts in the next twelve to eighteen months. But Moses, 1:32:42.627 --> 1:32:45.507 as good as he is, has never actually fought a 1:32:45.747 --> 1:32:49.547 real world class heavyweight, and he does that against Philip Pergovitch. 1:32:49.627 --> 1:32:52.307 That's a great fight, great test, and the winner of 1:32:52.347 --> 1:32:54.827 that's going to be world champion as well. So I 1:32:55.067 --> 1:32:59.707 like the division at the moment because you know, everybody's 1:32:59.747 --> 1:33:01.867 going to be fighting everybody and we're going to find 1:33:01.947 --> 1:33:04.627 out again who's the best. And you know, I think 1:33:04.707 --> 1:33:08.387 Moses Mosestaalma is definitely. 1:33:08.067 --> 1:33:09.907 One one to watch. I think we're going to find 1:33:09.947 --> 1:33:12.267 out how good he really is soon. But I think 1:33:12.307 --> 1:33:13.187 he is really good. 1:33:13.627 --> 1:33:16.547 And like I said, I think him and Tea Moana 1:33:16.587 --> 1:33:20.187 are kind of the two young guys coming through Justice Finny. 1:33:20.227 --> 1:33:21.907 I think he's a great fighter. 1:33:23.707 --> 1:33:25.707 You know Joseph as well, you know, I think I 1:33:25.827 --> 1:33:28.587 know he lost to to Fabio Wardley, but I think 1:33:28.627 --> 1:33:30.307 he's a guy that's going to come on as well 1:33:30.387 --> 1:33:32.227 and be involved in big fights. 1:33:32.227 --> 1:33:34.067 All right, Well, let's talk about Joseph Parker here in 1:33:34.107 --> 1:33:36.747 New Zealand. Obviously there's a lot of interest in him. 1:33:37.427 --> 1:33:41.587 Does he remain a genuine player in today's heavyweight landscape? 1:33:42.587 --> 1:33:45.027 Yeah, I mean whenever you get beat and obviously you 1:33:45.067 --> 1:33:46.947 know coming through what he came through, and I'm so 1:33:47.147 --> 1:33:50.907 pleased that that's over for him, because Joseph, he's really 1:33:51.027 --> 1:33:52.267 one of the good guys. 1:33:52.347 --> 1:33:52.507 You know. 1:33:52.987 --> 1:33:56.747 I know that sometimes maybe his preparation hasn't been what 1:33:56.867 --> 1:33:58.587 it should be in the early parts of his career, 1:33:58.627 --> 1:34:01.587 but I think he's been extremely focused of late, and 1:34:01.667 --> 1:34:04.347 I think he's only one win away from fighting for 1:34:04.427 --> 1:34:05.347 the world heavyweight title. 1:34:05.387 --> 1:34:06.267 I think a lot of those guys. 1:34:06.987 --> 1:34:09.387 You know, he's not looking to be I guess in 1:34:09.507 --> 1:34:12.227 warm up fights or stay busy fights. He wants the 1:34:12.267 --> 1:34:14.947 biggest fight out there that he can make. And if 1:34:15.027 --> 1:34:17.547 you win a fight like that, then you're going to 1:34:17.547 --> 1:34:19.387 be right up there. Again, he's got the ability to 1:34:19.467 --> 1:34:22.227 do it, he's got the experience to do it. So yeah, 1:34:22.427 --> 1:34:25.427 I would say for sure Joseph's a contender, just probably 1:34:25.507 --> 1:34:28.187 needs one solid win and then he'll be looking for 1:34:28.267 --> 1:34:29.947 a shot at the world title as well. You know, 1:34:30.027 --> 1:34:33.147 the downside is so with about another twelve people, because 1:34:33.227 --> 1:34:37.067 right now everybody's in play to try and win a championship. 1:34:37.107 --> 1:34:40.187 Well, Joseph park has promoted. David Hagen says obviously floated 1:34:40.227 --> 1:34:43.747 with the idea of Parker against Teli Mooana. If that happened, 1:34:43.787 --> 1:34:47.907 that's the kind of trans Tasman blockbuster heavyweight boxing fight 1:34:48.027 --> 1:34:50.267 we haven't really seen before. Is that the sort of 1:34:50.307 --> 1:34:52.707 event that could fill up an Eden Park or some 1:34:52.907 --> 1:34:54.147 Corpse stadium or something like that. 1:34:55.267 --> 1:34:55.467 Yeah. 1:34:55.587 --> 1:34:57.547 Again, you know when I said about that step up, 1:34:57.867 --> 1:35:00.707 that's the danger step up for Tara Mohanna. Someone like 1:35:00.827 --> 1:35:05.027 Parker who's durable experience, and that's a I mean, I 1:35:05.027 --> 1:35:07.987 wouldn't put Tara Miyana in with Parker next. 1:35:08.747 --> 1:35:09.947 I think he can be. 1:35:10.947 --> 1:35:13.947 But Joe is very good, very experienced, and you want 1:35:13.987 --> 1:35:16.027 to get that one right. So that's probably sort of 1:35:16.347 --> 1:35:20.027 three four fights away for Taranjuana. But next summer, you know, 1:35:20.107 --> 1:35:22.347 this time next year, that could be a blockbuster event 1:35:22.427 --> 1:35:23.627 and Joe will fight anyway. 1:35:23.747 --> 1:35:26.307 Joe. You know, Joe's up for fighting anyone. He doesn't mind. 1:35:26.347 --> 1:35:30.427 He wants the big moments, the big money, the big opportunities. So, like, 1:35:30.547 --> 1:35:32.867 our job with Taranjana is to make him a household name, 1:35:32.987 --> 1:35:34.747 and like I said, he's got all the attributes to 1:35:34.827 --> 1:35:36.547 do that, not just in the ring, but out of 1:35:36.547 --> 1:35:38.747 the ring. So yeah, Wednesday Night's a big step for 1:35:38.827 --> 1:35:41.667 him headlining on Fox and designed for the first time. 1:35:41.907 --> 1:35:44.387 You continue to bring events down to this part of 1:35:44.427 --> 1:35:46.907 the world, down to Australia, and Wednesday Night is the 1:35:47.187 --> 1:35:49.507 latest example of that. Idiot, what have you seen in 1:35:49.587 --> 1:35:52.547 this part of the world that makes it an attractive 1:35:52.587 --> 1:35:53.467 destination for you? 1:35:55.027 --> 1:35:57.187 Well, I think, just from a sports perspective, I think 1:35:57.187 --> 1:35:59.027 you guys are very similar to us. Really, I mean, 1:35:59.347 --> 1:36:02.347 I think You're a market that's easy to understand because 1:36:02.387 --> 1:36:05.187 you're just like Britch. You know, you like good entertainment, 1:36:05.307 --> 1:36:07.707 you like a beer, you like great sport. You're like 1:36:07.747 --> 1:36:09.427 a good punch up, you know, if that's on the 1:36:09.747 --> 1:36:13.627 rugby field or you know, in the ring. Darts for 1:36:13.747 --> 1:36:18.827 us has been extremely successful both in Australia and New Zealand. 1:36:19.067 --> 1:36:21.587 You know, have big PDC events there as well. So 1:36:22.307 --> 1:36:24.587 and you have very very good talented fighters. You know, 1:36:24.627 --> 1:36:28.107 you have a whole host of world class fighters across 1:36:28.147 --> 1:36:31.667 many different divisions, male and female. So, you know, for 1:36:31.867 --> 1:36:34.907 us being the only real global promotional company in the world, 1:36:35.187 --> 1:36:36.787 it's a market that we have to be in. And 1:36:37.267 --> 1:36:39.867 getting that domestic deal with Fox and obviously our global 1:36:39.947 --> 1:36:42.107 position with the Zone, you know. 1:36:42.307 --> 1:36:43.747 A really interesting opportunity. 1:36:43.867 --> 1:36:46.627 Seven shows a year we'll be doing in Australia, hopefully 1:36:46.667 --> 1:36:49.467 that will include a New Zealand one as well at 1:36:49.507 --> 1:36:51.667 some point. And you know, I've worked with David Higgins 1:36:51.747 --> 1:36:55.027 for over a decade really and I love working with 1:36:55.067 --> 1:36:57.787 those guys, and you know, I'm sure you'll see us 1:36:57.787 --> 1:37:00.067 over there as well as Australia many times in the future. 1:37:00.147 --> 1:37:02.187 Well look forward to that. You've been doing this a while, lady, 1:37:02.227 --> 1:37:04.427 You've promoted some of the biggest names and biggest nights 1:37:04.467 --> 1:37:07.307 and boxing. Do you still get a buzz when you 1:37:07.387 --> 1:37:10.947 discover someone like Tilimuana before the rest of the world 1:37:11.067 --> 1:37:11.707 really knows. 1:37:11.587 --> 1:37:12.027 Who he is. 1:37:13.347 --> 1:37:15.667 That's why I'm getting on a plane for twenty four 1:37:15.747 --> 1:37:18.707 hours tomorrow to go and see him and be part 1:37:18.747 --> 1:37:23.387 of the journey. You know, I get very excited when, 1:37:23.547 --> 1:37:26.747 especially when you get a young fighter who is chasing 1:37:26.827 --> 1:37:29.347 their dreams. And you know, in all sports, once you 1:37:29.467 --> 1:37:32.307 get up to the top levels, it becomes quite political, 1:37:32.747 --> 1:37:37.027 it becomes extremely money motivated. You know, you get people 1:37:37.507 --> 1:37:40.627 joining the team out of nowhere making poor decisions. 1:37:40.947 --> 1:37:42.547 So these are the moments of the journey. 1:37:42.547 --> 1:37:45.827 You've got to really enjoy it, you know, the ones 1:37:45.907 --> 1:37:48.907 that you can change people's life in the process and 1:37:49.027 --> 1:37:50.987 people can turn around to you and also say thank 1:37:51.067 --> 1:37:53.867 you for the opportunity, which is nice, and you know, 1:37:53.947 --> 1:37:57.667 we're all building together. Tamuan has got the same training 1:37:57.747 --> 1:37:59.707 team that he's always had, you know that he's had 1:37:59.747 --> 1:38:02.307 throughout the amateurs. This for them as well, is a 1:38:02.387 --> 1:38:05.467 life changing opportunity. This is an opportunity for them to 1:38:05.587 --> 1:38:07.827 be in the biggest fights and biggest moments in the sport. 1:38:08.187 --> 1:38:11.707 And I just feel that because it's the flagship division. 1:38:12.427 --> 1:38:15.187 If he was the guy that could go on and 1:38:15.387 --> 1:38:21.147 bring World Heavyweight Championship fights to Australia, that's the kind 1:38:21.187 --> 1:38:23.667 of person and moments that could change the sport forever 1:38:23.987 --> 1:38:26.987 and make it a mainstream sport, which I think it 1:38:27.067 --> 1:38:29.307 has the potential to be in your part of the world. 1:38:29.427 --> 1:38:31.907 Like I think, if you can get the talent, if 1:38:31.947 --> 1:38:33.987 people can buy into the fact that we are bringing 1:38:34.067 --> 1:38:36.747 big fights to the region, I think you can make 1:38:36.827 --> 1:38:38.187 box in a mainstream sport. 1:38:38.227 --> 1:38:39.947 And if you can, it'll be very exciting. 1:38:40.507 --> 1:38:43.547 Just to finish. If we're sitting here having a conversation 1:38:43.987 --> 1:38:45.867 in five years from now, and I hope we are, 1:38:46.507 --> 1:38:48.787 what do you think, well we're saying about Teddy Mowana. 1:38:48.827 --> 1:38:50.467 Teddy Mowana, I. 1:38:50.507 --> 1:38:52.627 Think in five years from now, hopefully the guys who 1:38:52.707 --> 1:38:54.707 talk about the belts, hopefully he's got every one of them, 1:38:55.347 --> 1:38:58.547 you know, and we can make Australia and the region 1:38:58.747 --> 1:39:01.187 and you know, whether that's Cook Islands that he dreams 1:39:01.227 --> 1:39:03.987 are fighting in one day as well, hopefully we can 1:39:04.067 --> 1:39:07.347 make that the epicenter of heavy wait boxing, because if 1:39:07.387 --> 1:39:09.587 you've got the champion and he's got all the belts, 1:39:09.827 --> 1:39:12.467 of course he'll be fighting internationally. But you'll have the 1:39:12.507 --> 1:39:14.747 opportunity with the government support that you have in that 1:39:14.907 --> 1:39:17.867 region as well, to bring big sporting events there to 1:39:18.027 --> 1:39:22.267 be filling stadiums on a regular basis. And you know, 1:39:23.307 --> 1:39:25.987 just just tuning next book, you'll see an incredible heavyweight 1:39:26.147 --> 1:39:29.947 but you'll see a wonderful personality that won't you know, 1:39:30.067 --> 1:39:32.907 you can't stop smiling when you're listening to this guy, 1:39:32.987 --> 1:39:35.507 when you're watching this guy. But the only person who 1:39:35.507 --> 1:39:38.067 won't be smiling next week week will be DeAndre Savage. 1:39:38.227 --> 1:39:40.427 He'll be you know, he definitely won't be smiling. 1:39:41.387 --> 1:39:43.587 It'd be great to catch up looking forward to Wednesday 1:39:43.707 --> 1:39:46.467 night with the latest event that you're and behind. I 1:39:46.467 --> 1:39:49.787 appreciate you joining us across New Zealand this afternoon. Thanks 1:39:49.787 --> 1:39:52.347 for having me, Thanks for joining us. Eddie hearn there, 1:39:52.787 --> 1:39:56.347 the one and only, the unmistakable voice of Eddie Hernman. 1:39:56.387 --> 1:39:59.187 He's been involved in so many big, big events. The 1:39:59.387 --> 1:40:03.267 next one Wednesday Night, the Star Gold Coast as his 1:40:03.467 --> 1:40:07.067 man Telly Mowana. Telly Mowana goes up again a hard 1:40:07.147 --> 1:40:10.507 punching American DeAndre Savage. You can watch it here in 1:40:10.547 --> 1:40:15.107 New Zealand on Dezonne two twenty three. Just updating you 1:40:15.187 --> 1:40:17.187 on the rugby. Auckland have just scored a try against 1:40:17.227 --> 1:40:19.867 Wellington at Western Springs. Wellington had taken the lead earlier, 1:40:20.507 --> 1:40:24.907 So five or kick to come for Auckland. Duplastikadifi playing 1:40:25.227 --> 1:40:28.747 at second five for Wellington in this one. Every time 1:40:28.747 --> 1:40:31.347 I look up at the screen, he's involved in a 1:40:31.507 --> 1:40:33.507 ruck of some sort, or a more or not a 1:40:33.667 --> 1:40:37.467 more of a ruck, so I think he's probably just 1:40:37.667 --> 1:40:42.107 enjoying the opportunity to try something different. But yeah, Auckland five, 1:40:42.547 --> 1:40:45.467 Wellington five with a kick to come, which Auckland I'd imagine, Well, 1:40:45.787 --> 1:40:49.387 we'll knock over from a handy position to twenty four. 1:40:50.027 --> 1:40:54.027 Don't forget. We celebrate one hundred years of ZEDB. Tomorrow 1:40:54.187 --> 1:40:57.147 was the actual birthday of ZEDB.

So tomorrow is zedb's one hundredth birthday, and 1:41:05.947 --> 1:41:07.947 we're going to market in all sorts of different ways, 1:41:08.187 --> 1:41:10.587 not just on this show, but across the across the 1:41:10.707 --> 1:41:13.907 radio station and externally as well on news stalk.

Heb that is coming up first, though. 1:42:24.707 --> 1:42:27.627 The Wellington Phoenix have made one of the biggest signings 1:42:27.627 --> 1:42:30.267 in the club's history, bringing home one of New Zealand 1:42:30.307 --> 1:42:34.427 football's true greats.

So 1:43:25.547 --> 1:43:28.107 why was now the right time to come home and 1:43:28.307 --> 1:43:30.227 to join Wellington Phoenix. 1:43:31.067 --> 1:43:31.227 Yeah. 1:43:31.267 --> 1:43:33.547 I think obviously, I'm getting towards the end of my 1:43:33.667 --> 1:43:36.027 career and I've said that I've always wanted to come 1:43:36.067 --> 1:43:37.507 back to New Zealand and give back to the game 1:43:37.587 --> 1:43:39.227 and give back to the girls that are still involved. 1:43:40.307 --> 1:43:42.587 I've you know, I've got a lot of opportunity from 1:43:42.627 --> 1:43:44.987 playing football and I think it's only fair that I 1:43:45.147 --> 1:43:45.427 try and. 1:43:45.627 --> 1:43:47.547 Give those opportunities to other girls as well. 1:43:47.587 --> 1:43:49.187 There's so much to be had in the women's game 1:43:49.227 --> 1:43:51.627 at the moment, so you know, if we can get 1:43:51.787 --> 1:43:54.427 as much of those girls out and experiencing that, I'd 1:43:54.507 --> 1:43:56.067 be really grateful if I could help. 1:43:56.307 --> 1:43:56.467 You know. 1:43:57.947 --> 1:43:58.587 Is out there doing that? 1:43:58.827 --> 1:43:59.027 Yeah? 1:43:59.107 --> 1:44:02.107 How impressed have you been with the vision Beef Priestman 1:44:02.787 --> 1:44:04.867 and the Phoenix have laid out and what they're looking 1:44:04.947 --> 1:44:05.827 to do at that club. 1:44:06.827 --> 1:44:08.627 Yeah, I've gone down and seen the facilities and I've 1:44:08.627 --> 1:44:10.427 had a short conversation with dev. I haven't had too 1:44:10.507 --> 1:44:13.587 much interaction yet, but I've worked with thev previously, so 1:44:13.667 --> 1:44:15.587 I kind of know where a standard set and how 1:44:15.627 --> 1:44:17.347 she works and how she operates and how she gets 1:44:17.347 --> 1:44:20.547 a team to function. And then obviously hearing about all 1:44:20.547 --> 1:44:23.387 the results with the Phoenix overseas has just been incredible 1:44:23.427 --> 1:44:25.627 because you never expected a New Zealand team to do 1:44:25.747 --> 1:44:27.947 so well in the A League sort of early on 1:44:28.107 --> 1:44:31.587 in their involvement. So I was really impressed with her 1:44:31.707 --> 1:44:34.427 and I think, you know, having a couple of conversations 1:44:35.027 --> 1:44:37.267 and kind of learning where she wants the team to 1:44:37.347 --> 1:44:38.867 go and the vision that she has for the New 1:44:38.907 --> 1:44:41.187 Zealand football, it aligns with me. So I think, you know, 1:44:41.347 --> 1:44:42.827 that's the right place in the interview at the moment. 1:44:43.147 --> 1:44:46.667 She said during her media regarding the signing that she 1:44:47.387 --> 1:44:50.467 really wants to add winners to the squad, and obviously 1:44:50.907 --> 1:44:54.627 you fit into that category when you've won championships. What 1:44:54.867 --> 1:44:57.747 separates good teams from title winning teams. 1:44:59.627 --> 1:45:02.787 I think the preparation. Honestly, I think a lot of 1:45:03.187 --> 1:45:05.547 the talk in New Zealand is about mindset and about culture. 1:45:06.427 --> 1:45:07.947 Those things are great, but at the end of the day, 1:45:08.507 --> 1:45:10.547 there is a level of execution that you need to 1:45:10.587 --> 1:45:13.267 have and I think we missed that sometimes in New Zeane, 1:45:13.307 --> 1:45:15.547 you know, you have to be at that level to 1:45:15.587 --> 1:45:17.507 be able to compete, and then the mindset comes in 1:45:17.587 --> 1:45:19.827 when you're on that's kind of same level playing because 1:45:19.827 --> 1:45:22.347 as everybody else, you can't just will your way into 1:45:22.387 --> 1:45:24.747 winning a game. Which I think we need to learn 1:45:24.787 --> 1:45:27.147 in New Zealan footballer is that you can't just be like, 1:45:27.987 --> 1:45:29.587 if we believe we're going to win, you know, No, 1:45:29.707 --> 1:45:31.387 you have to have the technical ability and then the 1:45:31.467 --> 1:45:33.547 belief will get you kind of over the line. When 1:45:33.547 --> 1:45:34.267 you're on a part with. 1:45:34.307 --> 1:45:36.507 Those teams, is that something that you think you can 1:45:36.587 --> 1:45:38.867 impart too. I was going to say the younger members 1:45:38.867 --> 1:45:41.227 of this Phoenix side, but to any member of the 1:45:41.347 --> 1:45:43.547 Phoenix side, is that part of the knowledge that that 1:45:43.627 --> 1:45:44.827 you are really keen to pass on? 1:45:45.947 --> 1:45:46.267 I think so. 1:45:46.307 --> 1:45:47.587 I think there are a lot of little things that 1:45:47.667 --> 1:45:50.387 are really going to help. Obviously, my exposure to those environments. 1:45:51.187 --> 1:45:52.667 You know, I was there for a long long time, 1:45:52.707 --> 1:45:54.947 so and I learned a lot. I happen to be 1:45:55.027 --> 1:45:58.587 in just one of the teams that you know, it 1:45:58.747 --> 1:46:01.347 was so good and it was just it's kind of 1:46:01.387 --> 1:46:04.227 one of those lifetime things where you're just extremely lucky 1:46:04.267 --> 1:46:05.787 to fall into the right place at the right time, 1:46:05.827 --> 1:46:07.827 because not every athlete gets to be a part of 1:46:08.307 --> 1:46:10.907 those kind of environments. So I was extremely, extremely lucky 1:46:11.427 --> 1:46:13.587 to have that group, and it taught me so much. 1:46:13.667 --> 1:46:15.787 And I would just love, love to give as much 1:46:15.787 --> 1:46:18.147 about information as I possibly can to the delfare. 1:46:18.627 --> 1:46:21.307 You talk about giving back and your answer there, you've 1:46:21.347 --> 1:46:23.307 talked about helping others, But what about you, Abby? Are 1:46:23.347 --> 1:46:26.387 you still driven for success? I mean, i'd imagine you 1:46:26.427 --> 1:46:29.187 wouldn't come to any club that didn't have aspirations. Are 1:46:29.227 --> 1:46:31.747 you still deeply ambitious about your football? 1:46:32.467 --> 1:46:32.627 Oh? 1:46:32.787 --> 1:46:34.947 I understand that's in my DNA. I'm not going to 1:46:34.987 --> 1:46:37.467 go anywhere and not want to win at all. That's 1:46:37.907 --> 1:46:39.547 written in my DNA for the rest of my life. 1:46:40.947 --> 1:46:42.627 What do you think still needs to happen for this 1:46:42.747 --> 1:46:47.387 country to consistently produce female players who are able to 1:46:48.027 --> 1:46:49.587 do what you did to play in the top leagues 1:46:49.627 --> 1:46:52.987 in the world and the States and in Europe, you know, anywhere. Really, 1:46:53.027 --> 1:46:55.947 what still has to happen for us to consistently produce 1:46:56.027 --> 1:46:56.547 those players? 1:46:57.267 --> 1:46:59.907 I think more investment. You can kind of see the 1:46:59.987 --> 1:47:03.267 investment that there's been all around the world and you 1:47:03.347 --> 1:47:05.187 can see the games growing, you can see the crowds, 1:47:05.227 --> 1:47:07.347 you can see just kind of the quality of the 1:47:07.387 --> 1:47:11.907 football that's being developed in Europe and in America and England. 1:47:12.307 --> 1:47:14.747 I think there has to be more investment. You know, 1:47:14.827 --> 1:47:16.787 you can't just keep sending players overseas all the time 1:47:16.827 --> 1:47:18.027 and hoping that in the game is going to grow 1:47:18.027 --> 1:47:20.827 in New Zealand. You have to start developing those players here. 1:47:20.947 --> 1:47:23.307 So that's investment and the players and the resources and 1:47:23.347 --> 1:47:25.547 the coaches, et cetera, et cetera, the fields. 1:47:25.947 --> 1:47:27.347 You know, in any kind of area that. 1:47:27.347 --> 1:47:28.307 You can invest, you need to. 1:47:29.227 --> 1:47:31.067 You know, even coming back playing on some of the 1:47:31.107 --> 1:47:33.147 surfaces here, they're just not at the level that you 1:47:33.227 --> 1:47:35.787 need to be. So you know, now you're trying to 1:47:35.827 --> 1:47:38.147 adjust your technique and you know, it just makes everything 1:47:38.187 --> 1:47:39.907 more difficult when it doesn't need to be. So I 1:47:40.027 --> 1:47:43.427 think just investment is just kind of the overarching scene. 1:47:44.147 --> 1:47:46.467 Your one of your hallmarks, one of your many is, 1:47:46.987 --> 1:47:51.507 is just your endless drive for you know, for doing 1:47:51.547 --> 1:47:53.507 as much as you can off the field to perform 1:47:53.587 --> 1:47:55.547 as well as you can on it. You know, just 1:47:55.787 --> 1:47:57.427 in terms of the way you look after yourself, what 1:47:57.547 --> 1:48:00.107 you wait, how you train, all of that sort of stuff, recovery. 1:48:00.587 --> 1:48:02.187 Where does that drive come from? 1:48:03.347 --> 1:48:05.787 I think it was I was really driven to a 1:48:05.907 --> 1:48:09.067 point kind of around twenty twenty four where I just 1:48:09.267 --> 1:48:11.467 wasn't sure I wanted to play football anymore, honestly, and 1:48:11.667 --> 1:48:14.667 I thought about giving it up, and I kind of 1:48:14.867 --> 1:48:17.867 knew that I wasn't the best athlete that I could be, 1:48:18.147 --> 1:48:19.947 and I kind of made the decision that, like, if 1:48:19.947 --> 1:48:21.267 I'm going to give this up, I don't want to 1:48:21.267 --> 1:48:23.227 make sure that I've done absolutely everything that I can 1:48:23.627 --> 1:48:25.067 before I say no. So I wanted to make sure 1:48:25.067 --> 1:48:26.507 I was as sad as I could be, I was 1:48:26.507 --> 1:48:27.827 as strong as I could be, as fast as I 1:48:27.867 --> 1:48:30.467 could be. So the athlete in me was was one 1:48:30.547 --> 1:48:32.667 hundred percent everything that I could have given. And then 1:48:32.747 --> 1:48:35.467 you know, obviously being lack enough to get into a 1:48:35.507 --> 1:48:37.987 team that could develop me technically as well. You know, 1:48:38.067 --> 1:48:40.067 can I now be the best athlete technically? Can I 1:48:40.147 --> 1:48:41.627 have the best touch? Can I have the best data? 1:48:42.227 --> 1:48:45.507 So I think it was from a place of desperation, honestly, 1:48:46.187 --> 1:48:48.467 and then it kind of worked out, and yeah, we are. 1:48:48.387 --> 1:48:48.987 We are today. 1:48:49.387 --> 1:48:51.707 What leads you to the place in twenty twenty four 1:48:52.107 --> 1:48:54.027 where you started to wonder whether you might have done 1:48:54.067 --> 1:48:54.387 your day. 1:48:56.427 --> 1:48:58.507 Honestly, it was just some bad luck at some of 1:48:58.587 --> 1:49:00.587 the clubs that I've had. You know, I've had a 1:49:00.627 --> 1:49:01.987 bit of a stint with the national team. We really 1:49:02.027 --> 1:49:05.547 weren't successful. I had a stint with a coach where 1:49:05.587 --> 1:49:06.907 he was a bit of abuse, and I just got 1:49:06.947 --> 1:49:07.987 to the point where I was like, you know, this 1:49:08.147 --> 1:49:10.347 isn't This isn't kind of the life that I want 1:49:10.387 --> 1:49:12.587 to myself. I don't want to be working for abusive coaches. 1:49:12.627 --> 1:49:15.187 I don't want to be putting everything I can into 1:49:15.267 --> 1:49:17.627 a game and training as much as I do to lose. 1:49:17.867 --> 1:49:21.027 You know that there's no wedding that it's not. I 1:49:21.147 --> 1:49:23.187 was sick of doing out for pride. Honestly, I wanted 1:49:23.187 --> 1:49:25.707 to have some kind of results for all of my 1:49:25.787 --> 1:49:28.827 hard work and that. Yeah, it was kind of at 1:49:28.867 --> 1:49:30.707 that point for a couple of years, right, just I'm 1:49:30.747 --> 1:49:32.027 not sure this is something that I want to do 1:49:32.107 --> 1:49:32.867 for the rest of my life. 1:49:33.667 --> 1:49:36.027 Well, I'm glad that you made the decision to carry on. 1:49:36.307 --> 1:49:37.667 Do you reckon? You've still got quite a bit of 1:49:37.707 --> 1:49:38.867 good football lift, in't you. 1:49:39.947 --> 1:49:40.107 Yeah? 1:49:40.147 --> 1:49:40.267 I do. 1:49:40.427 --> 1:49:43.227 My body's actually really, really good considering my age. You know, 1:49:43.387 --> 1:49:46.667 I think it helps to be in the position that 1:49:46.747 --> 1:49:48.987 I'm in. I can center back have a little bit 1:49:49.027 --> 1:49:51.027 more of a longer career than you know, a striker 1:49:51.067 --> 1:49:53.187 and outside back. I'm so un fortunate that I'm in 1:49:53.187 --> 1:49:54.747 the right condition to do that, but I've looked after 1:49:54.787 --> 1:49:56.547 my body. I've been really fortunate with injuries there and 1:49:56.627 --> 1:49:59.547 have a lot of injuries, so that's that's been really 1:49:59.547 --> 1:50:00.187 good for me as well. 1:50:00.507 --> 1:50:01.827 All right, and before you even get the chance to 1:50:01.867 --> 1:50:03.507 come to Wellington, you've got the small matter of the 1:50:03.907 --> 1:50:07.027 Aukland FC Invitational game against Chelsea. Much you're looking forward 1:50:07.067 --> 1:50:08.827 to that, Yeah. 1:50:08.707 --> 1:50:09.987 It's going to be a big challenge. I mean, I 1:50:10.027 --> 1:50:12.787 always love playing against the top teams and having them 1:50:12.827 --> 1:50:15.587 come over to New gandre is at this point once 1:50:15.627 --> 1:50:17.107 in a lifetime. So it's gonna be really good for 1:50:17.187 --> 1:50:19.587 the girls to see the level that the woman's game 1:50:19.627 --> 1:50:21.187 has grown to and you know, kind of see the 1:50:21.267 --> 1:50:24.387 expectation that's required to go overseason play. So I'm really excited. 1:50:24.387 --> 1:50:25.707 I know it's going to be a really hard game. 1:50:26.147 --> 1:50:27.827 I'm going to have to really grind out a result 1:50:28.187 --> 1:50:30.667 against them, but as always, it's super exciting to play 1:50:30.707 --> 1:50:31.747 against the best players in the world. 1:50:31.867 --> 1:50:33.947 Has it been challenging coming together as a group of 1:50:33.987 --> 1:50:36.027 players who haven't really had too much to do with 1:50:36.107 --> 1:50:37.027 each other previously. 1:50:38.067 --> 1:50:40.747 Yeah, honestly, it's been one of the hardest things ever 1:50:40.947 --> 1:50:43.467 because you know, I know the quality that we're about 1:50:43.507 --> 1:50:45.267 to go up against, and I know what they're capable of, 1:50:45.627 --> 1:50:47.587 and they haven't I mean, they bought their best teams. 1:50:47.667 --> 1:50:49.627 They haven't kind of bought us second string team that's 1:50:49.627 --> 1:50:51.387 got the best players yet. So it's going to be 1:50:51.427 --> 1:50:53.427 a hard game for us. And you know, you're going 1:50:53.467 --> 1:50:55.627 into a camp for a week with players that you 1:50:55.667 --> 1:50:57.547 don't know their names and you've ever played with them before, 1:50:58.027 --> 1:51:00.667 or they're seventeen and you know they still haven't played 1:51:00.707 --> 1:51:03.027 professionally yet. Like that's a that's a tough ask for 1:51:03.427 --> 1:51:05.307 a group to, you know, go out and try and 1:51:05.387 --> 1:51:07.547 grind out this result.

Obviously, 1:52:59.587 --> 1:53:02.627 as the name would suggest, one is quite likely, one 1:53:02.707 --> 1:53:04.427 is sort of likely, and one is not that likely. 1:53:04.707 --> 1:53:06.587 You choose which one you want will place the Yeah, 1:53:06.587 --> 1:53:10.227 the first one is a boxing bet. He only looks 1:53:10.307 --> 1:53:13.027 like a nice guy. Special David Nica Floyd Mass and 1:53:13.067 --> 1:53:15.587 they fight tonight on the North Shore The bet is 1:53:15.707 --> 1:53:18.907 for David Nicer to win by knockout, TKO or disqualification. 1:53:19.387 --> 1:53:22.467 It's paying a dollar sixty seven.

It's the three games today 1:53:49.107 --> 1:53:52.347 all being won by the outsiders. So you need the 1:53:52.347 --> 1:53:55.787 Melbourne Storm to beat Manly, Brisbane to beat the Dolphins, 1:53:56.067 --> 1:53:59.027 and Paramatta to beat the rabbit Os.

Ellie, Welcome to New Zealand. 1:55:19.627 --> 1:55:21.427 Thanks for the chat. What are the big objectives for 1:55:21.467 --> 1:55:24.467 the squad over these two matches, one here and then 1:55:24.507 --> 1:55:27.107 one in Australia next week ahead of the new Super 1:55:27.147 --> 1:55:28.787 League season which starts next month. 1:55:29.427 --> 1:55:31.627 Yeah, I think for us for quite early into preseason. 1:55:32.027 --> 1:55:34.627 This is almost the start of our preseason over here 1:55:34.667 --> 1:55:37.907 in New Zealand and Australia. So for us, it's about 1:55:38.187 --> 1:55:40.827 building the team together. We have a lot of fresh faces, 1:55:40.907 --> 1:55:45.747 new signings, you know, kind of through a rebuilding phase 1:55:45.787 --> 1:55:50.067 I guess of Chelsea. So yeah, just creating those relationships 1:55:50.107 --> 1:55:52.387 on the pitch, but also you know, playing great football 1:55:52.507 --> 1:55:56.027 and attacking football as well, exciting football. So hopefully we 1:55:56.107 --> 1:55:59.827 can achieve our goals over these two games. And yeah, 1:55:59.907 --> 1:56:02.067 really excited to be here in Auckland. 1:56:02.427 --> 1:56:05.587 This is your second year at Chelsea, Eli, after such 1:56:05.667 --> 1:56:08.867 an incredible successful time with Leon, you won so many 1:56:09.147 --> 1:56:11.907 trophies over there. How quickly did you sit on into 1:56:12.027 --> 1:56:14.267 life in London and at one of the biggest clubs 1:56:14.307 --> 1:56:14.667 in the world. 1:56:15.267 --> 1:56:17.987 Yeah, I think my transition was quite smooth. 1:56:18.067 --> 1:56:21.067 I would say it was much easier going to an 1:56:21.067 --> 1:56:24.347 English speaking country than a foreign language country. 1:56:24.507 --> 1:56:27.987 And I would say I know the coach from Chelsea. 1:56:28.107 --> 1:56:30.187 I was coached by her and Leon, so I think 1:56:30.227 --> 1:56:34.187 that helped a lot with the transition, and yeah, the 1:56:34.267 --> 1:56:37.147 girls obviously were really nice fitting in and I think 1:56:37.307 --> 1:56:40.307 for myself coming into a new league as well, it 1:56:40.427 --> 1:56:43.907 was quite difficult. It was a very different to France, 1:56:44.107 --> 1:56:46.987 the French League. But I think I've adapted quite quickly 1:56:47.147 --> 1:56:50.267 and you know, a lot to learn quickly, a lot 1:56:50.307 --> 1:56:53.507 to improve on. And I think I really, you know, 1:56:53.707 --> 1:56:56.947 grew as a footballer just already in my first year 1:56:57.067 --> 1:57:00.347 at Chelsea, so I'm really looking forward to this second 1:57:00.427 --> 1:57:00.947 year at Chelsea. 1:57:01.267 --> 1:57:03.307 I mentioned your coach there, so on your bomb pasta 1:57:03.427 --> 1:57:06.667 she was your coach at Lyon before you signed at Chelsea, 1:57:06.747 --> 1:57:09.987 where she had gone. How much did that existing relationship 1:57:10.067 --> 1:57:13.187 influence will move to Chelsea and what sort of coaches. 1:57:12.947 --> 1:57:15.867 She Yeah, I think she was, you know, part of 1:57:15.907 --> 1:57:18.187 the reason why I did want to come to Chelsea. Obviously. 1:57:18.347 --> 1:57:20.147 I know that she has the belief in me, and 1:57:21.547 --> 1:57:21.747 you know. 1:57:21.827 --> 1:57:25.267 We were very successful together in Leon, winning the Champions 1:57:25.347 --> 1:57:28.947 League and the league and a lot of trophies, so 1:57:29.587 --> 1:57:32.387 I think I know her expectations and the way. 1:57:32.267 --> 1:57:33.187 She likes to coach. 1:57:33.267 --> 1:57:35.067 And you know, she was a former player as well, 1:57:35.187 --> 1:57:40.227 international French international and also you know a legend from 1:57:40.347 --> 1:57:43.467 Leon so knows what it takes to win and creates 1:57:43.547 --> 1:57:45.547 that winning mentality environment. 1:57:45.707 --> 1:57:48.387 So yeah, I think it was a no brainer to 1:57:48.667 --> 1:57:49.547 move to Chelsea. 1:57:49.667 --> 1:57:52.307 To be coach under her again and also in a 1:57:52.387 --> 1:57:54.787 new league in England, which I think, you know, the 1:57:55.027 --> 1:57:57.467 WSL is probably the strongest league for women's football at 1:57:57.467 --> 1:58:00.707 the moment, so I wanted to put myself into that environment. 1:58:01.307 --> 1:58:04.147 And inside of the environment, Chelsea obviously is one of 1:58:04.267 --> 1:58:07.587 the really top top clubs act with world class players 1:58:07.627 --> 1:58:12.067 yourself included of course Ellie. How much does that competitive 1:58:12.187 --> 1:58:15.667 environment day to day help to to really drive internal standards. 1:58:16.067 --> 1:58:17.147 Yeah, I think it's massive. 1:58:17.187 --> 1:58:19.107 I think if you have a competitive environment training and 1:58:19.227 --> 1:58:22.427 in the club, it only pushes everyone and everyone's fighting 1:58:22.467 --> 1:58:24.827 for us. Well, in the starting eleven we have you know, 1:58:24.947 --> 1:58:27.627 world class players and every position, maybe two players in 1:58:27.667 --> 1:58:31.467 every position, So for us it's you know, every training 1:58:31.587 --> 1:58:35.107 is competitive and you know everyone knows we're fighting to 1:58:35.267 --> 1:58:39.147 start or you know, fighting to get out position, and 1:58:39.427 --> 1:58:41.187 I think that only makes you better as a footballer 1:58:41.227 --> 1:58:44.187 and also you know a person as well, I guess, but. 1:58:45.707 --> 1:58:48.027 You know, creating the environment only helps the team win 1:58:48.107 --> 1:58:49.027 and to be out the best. 1:58:49.747 --> 1:58:53.347 You mentioned winning the Champions League with Leon with Chelsea 1:58:53.467 --> 1:58:57.347 last season the quarter finals, so you know they're or thereabouts. 1:58:57.827 --> 1:59:01.027 Is conquering Europe with Chelsea something that drives the group. 1:59:01.667 --> 1:59:04.427 Yeah, that's for sure one thing that's driving everyone. They 1:59:04.507 --> 1:59:09.307 obviously haven't won Champion League for and you know objective 1:59:09.387 --> 1:59:11.547 of the team is to win that title. And you 1:59:11.587 --> 1:59:15.027 know it's no easy feat obviously, and you know we 1:59:15.107 --> 1:59:19.587 are building towards that. Obviously last year feeling last year 1:59:19.707 --> 1:59:22.747 falling short. But this season, hopefully we can you know, 1:59:22.947 --> 1:59:25.507 start the season strong and to you know, build into 1:59:25.587 --> 1:59:30.187 the Champions League. And you know, obviously that's on everyone's 1:59:30.227 --> 1:59:32.627 mind as well. But I think this season we're going 1:59:32.707 --> 1:59:35.507 to take a game by game and you know, we'll see, 1:59:35.587 --> 1:59:39.387 but that's definitely a goal and something that we want 1:59:39.387 --> 1:59:40.107 to achieve as the club. 1:59:40.347 --> 1:59:42.147 I want to talk to you about your international career, 1:59:42.187 --> 1:59:45.147 your debut for the Missiles. At just fifteen years of age, 1:59:45.627 --> 1:59:48.827 you've already passed the century mark in terms of appearances. 1:59:49.307 --> 1:59:51.427 How exciting has it been to be part of this 1:59:51.667 --> 1:59:56.107 generation of Matilda's that is inspiring so many young girls 1:59:56.227 --> 1:59:57.827 everywhere to take up the game. 1:59:59.467 --> 2:00:01.667 Yeah, I just like said it before and an interview 2:00:01.667 --> 2:00:03.427 as well. I just feel like really grateful to be 2:00:03.467 --> 2:00:05.947 a part of this era in women's football. I think, 2:00:06.747 --> 2:00:09.107 you know, since that World Cup and obviously since my 2:00:09.187 --> 2:00:11.467 journey with the Matildas as well, I saw how much 2:00:11.667 --> 2:00:13.667 so much change over the ten years I've been in 2:00:13.787 --> 2:00:16.827 the squad, and I think it's amazing what we've done 2:00:16.867 --> 2:00:18.227 on this side of the world of football. 2:00:18.627 --> 2:00:19.667 You know, the man investment. 2:00:20.027 --> 2:00:22.667 Obviously there still can be more investment, but you know, 2:00:22.747 --> 2:00:24.867 every time we come home, we have sold out crowds, 2:00:24.947 --> 2:00:30.107 and you know, I think that's that was unheard of 2:00:30.227 --> 2:00:32.667 before the World Cup, So that really changed, you know, 2:00:32.787 --> 2:00:34.787 the way people look at women's football, and I think 2:00:35.827 --> 2:00:37.827 that was such a game changing moment. But I think 2:00:37.867 --> 2:00:39.787 now we have to continue to build on that and 2:00:40.747 --> 2:00:42.547 not let that just be that one off time and. 2:00:42.587 --> 2:00:45.107 To keep continuing and building on the legacy. 2:00:45.547 --> 2:00:47.147 I do just want to ask you about one moment 2:00:47.227 --> 2:00:49.747 from that twenty twenty three Football World Cup, that penalty 2:00:49.787 --> 2:00:53.067 shootout when over France and the quarters. I think it's 2:00:53.067 --> 2:00:56.187 going to be forever iconic. Where does that night sit 2:00:56.227 --> 2:00:58.147 among all your other football nights. 2:00:59.587 --> 2:01:02.107 Yeah, that was quite a crazy night. I would have 2:01:02.187 --> 2:01:04.627 to say, I'm still like thinking of that now. 2:01:05.267 --> 2:01:05.467 It was. 2:01:05.507 --> 2:01:07.707 Honestly, I think it has to be up there with 2:01:07.787 --> 2:01:10.187 one of the top moments of my career, just like 2:01:10.307 --> 2:01:13.307 the feeling that you got after that game and when 2:01:13.987 --> 2:01:17.467 my penalty hit the net, I was quite relieved. But 2:01:17.587 --> 2:01:20.307 I think as a team, as a nation, I think 2:01:20.387 --> 2:01:22.987 you know, that was the defining moment and what everything changed. 2:01:23.027 --> 2:01:25.867 So for sure it was, you know, top to top 2:01:25.947 --> 2:01:27.307 three moment in my career so far. 2:01:27.507 --> 2:01:27.947 Was that game? 2:01:28.067 --> 2:01:28.267 Yeah? 2:01:28.587 --> 2:01:28.907 I bet? 2:01:29.027 --> 2:01:31.427 I bet your position for club and country full back, 2:01:31.547 --> 2:01:34.067 right back, it's become a really attacking position in the 2:01:34.147 --> 2:01:37.507 modern game. Of course, it's a defensive position first and foremost, 2:01:37.587 --> 2:01:39.667 but I know that you like to get forward and 2:01:39.827 --> 2:01:41.947 add your attacking and potast So how do you balance 2:01:41.987 --> 2:01:45.547 your defensive responsibilities with the desire to get forward. 2:01:47.347 --> 2:01:51.347 Yeah, obviously, you know, defending first it is the most important. 2:01:51.387 --> 2:01:53.707 But yeah, obviously everyone knows I love to attack and 2:01:53.747 --> 2:01:55.467 get up and help the team. 2:01:55.667 --> 2:02:00.587 You know, was crossing and I was obviously assisting, And you. 2:02:00.627 --> 2:02:03.147 Know, I think lately I've been adding to my game 2:02:03.187 --> 2:02:05.267 a little bit more on the final third and you know, 2:02:05.427 --> 2:02:08.027 getting my name on the score sheet, so it's going 2:02:08.067 --> 2:02:11.587 to continue to also build into that, you know more, 2:02:12.427 --> 2:02:15.187 I guess complete player, you know, with that. 2:02:15.307 --> 2:02:19.547 Finishing aspect as well. But yeah, I'm still only. 2:02:19.427 --> 2:02:22.187 Young as well, so I can still improve a lot 2:02:22.387 --> 2:02:24.147 on my game. But I think, yeah, being here at 2:02:24.227 --> 2:02:26.867 Chelsea and also with the Matilda's, I think, you know, 2:02:27.147 --> 2:02:30.747 just keep improving. But yeah, you know, I love playing fullback. 2:02:30.787 --> 2:02:33.747 I love attacking, defending. I think it's the best position 2:02:33.867 --> 2:02:34.267 on field. 2:02:35.467 --> 2:02:37.067 Well, I guess you wouldn't say that, but a lot 2:02:37.067 --> 2:02:39.747 of people would also agree. Just to close l A, 2:02:39.867 --> 2:02:43.027 Chelsea have supporters all over the world, all over the place. 2:02:43.587 --> 2:02:44.827 What does it mean for you to be able to 2:02:44.867 --> 2:02:47.987 come down Under and connect with fans obviously here in 2:02:48.027 --> 2:02:51.867 New Zealand, but specifically for you in Australia during this tour. 2:02:53.427 --> 2:02:55.827 Yeah, I'm really excited and never do I think I'd be, 2:02:56.227 --> 2:02:58.187 you know, in New Zealand or Australia with Chelsea. So 2:02:58.267 --> 2:03:00.867 it's such an amazing moment for me in my career 2:03:00.947 --> 2:03:03.107 and with Chelsea at the club. So yeah, I can't 2:03:03.107 --> 2:03:04.827 wait to hopefully see like a lot of fans at 2:03:04.867 --> 2:03:06.027 Eaton Park and also in. 2:03:06.027 --> 2:03:06.747 Sidney as well. 2:03:06.787 --> 2:03:08.907 I think it would be a great spectacle and you 2:03:08.947 --> 2:03:12.747 know also Versing Auckland FC.
