00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: Ricky's fiftieth game this weekend. And it's pretty neat, it's awesome.

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,640

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Not quite golden boots, but he did.

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: I've been planning the seed all week.

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: He got presented with his jersey playing jersey, which is awesome.

13
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: And they've been sounds like they've been doing on Friday

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: nights when they've been away for the other guys that

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: have made that mile stone, so real cool for Tom.

16
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: I was involved in the coaching renks when Tom first

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: came down to mid Kenner Rees. So one of the

18
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: other coaches, Sean Cutent's, had had a bit to do

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: with Tom and got him in for that season. And

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: then he moved down to Mefin with his family, which

21
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: is real cool. Yeah, played a heap of foody for

22
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: me f and now and sort of become a local.

23
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: So it's a great story.

24
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: I see a bit of movie somebody else who's celebrated

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: that half ton milestone as Nathan McCloy, but sad to

26
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: see that an old injury has fled up for him.

27
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: So that means tom tomorrow is stepping into the first

28
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: five eighth.

29
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he moving in one. I actually had a chat

30
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: to Nathan two. I don't think he's too bad. I

31
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: think just being precautionary going into next week.

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: Really, but you have to. Yeah, when we've signed up

33
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: that top spot and we've got that home semi final

34
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: locked in, although not to say that tomorrow isn't going

35
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: to be spicy. So we welcome the Old Golds North

36
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Otago to the showgrounds. There are five wins in a row.

37
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: There's third on the table. Isn't an incredible quick side note?

38
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: Jesson brickatt that there's just three points separating second to seventh. Yeah.

39
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: I was on this Heartland ladder.

40
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: And and you think about how we've tracked along the season.

41
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: There's been teams pulling away, but in the back half

42
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: of this competition, everyone's been beating everyone. Yeah, so quite interesting.

43
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: And I did see some scenarios on something I was

44
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: looking at yesterday and you're exactly right. Second can end

45
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: up outside of the top four easily. They could end up.

46
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: Six nuts, isn't it. Yeah? A bit of funny sort

47
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: of background here at the radio station, we've got this

48
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: partnership with Mid Canterbury Rugby, so we run ads, you know,

49
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: encouraging people to get to the games, and we sort

50
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: of needed to put the ad in for next week,

51
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: you know, advertising the semi final. But can you say no,

52
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: I won't be able to let you know until Monday

53
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: over up against incredible it is so North Otager. They'll

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: want to win to obviously lock up a final four spot.

55
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: But what makes tomorrow Interac having that home semi locked

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: in you sort of think it's a bit of a

57
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: dead rubber, but no, because the hand and shields on

58
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: the line.

59
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: Hand and shields on the line, and look north of

60
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: Targo that for them it's really important, Like we have

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: locked the home semi in right, but North of Targo

62
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: will be coming up here. Aid like to say to

63
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: when the mighty shield the hen and shield and then

64
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: b that are we looking to secure a sek and

65
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: so they get a home semi because you know it's

66
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: harder than people think to travel away, right, they can

67
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: get a second then they get a home semi and

68
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: then they'll be thinking crocket. It's not even if Mid

69
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: Canterbury win next week, it's not that far for us

70
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: to come up the raid rather than travel throughout the country.

71
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: It makes all of those things just fraction easier. They'll

72
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: be also thinking, you know, if they can do that,

73
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: then they'll get their supporters buses up here and all

74
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. North Tago got a fantastic supporters

75
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: club and get right in behind the team.

76
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: I'd love to see them.

77
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good fun. That good fun.

78
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we need to get our supporters at the

79
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: showgrounds tomorrow. It's a two five kick off, although if

80
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: you're happen to be out of the area, it's live

81
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: on sky Sport, which is pretty neat. It's also the charity.

82
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: Game it is yep, it's a big day for Mid Cannerby.

83
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: The Russian family have put a huge effort into well jed,

84
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: particularly with Mid Cannerby rugby, but then both clear and

85
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: ged and the meningitis space and unfortunately for them and

86
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: their family they had a real tragedy number of years ago.

87
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: But what they're doing for meningitis across New Zealand is outstanding.

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: They were presented a couple of jerseys last night too

89
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: at the team so pretty national time. Really in tough

90
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: but interesting listening to Gen comment on that and what

91
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: they've actually managed to achieve and getting under five year

92
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: olds vaccinated and now it's just huge step I think

93
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: I think he was creating. There's been five cases in

94
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: the last wee while and unfortunately three of them haven't

95
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: haven't made it through. So yeah, it's real tough going.

96
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, so every bit of money that's put over

97
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: the gate tomorrow, you know, is going towards meningitis, and

98
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: the first time this season that there is, you know,

99
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: effectively a gate charge, but it's for it's a donation really.

100
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: One of all. And the auction for the playing jerseys

101
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: where they've got the horizontal strips, So Kenny's telling me

102
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: I should probably look at the forward pack to get

103
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: something that's a little larger for my expending dad bodh jeev.
