1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: We're going to Sport and Jason Pine is with us. Hey, Jason, Hey, ran,

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: good to have you on. So surprise, surprise, it was

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: thek FC that won over the Phoenix at the weekend.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I look, I think when we spoke on Friday,

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 2: I said, look, this will be a cag affair, Ryan,

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 2: this will be a game decided on a moment of

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: brilliance or a mistake by somebody six ' one wouldn't

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: suggest that I had it right. I'll hold my hand

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: up and say I absolutely didn't have it right. Auckland

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: FC just a juggernaut rolling over the top of Wellington Phoenix,

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: going eight points clear at the top. They could well

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: win the whole thing. Now, Ryan, there are two parts

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: to this. It's a bit like the NRL. There's the

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: regular season winn of the minor premiers if you like,

15
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: they look odds on for that now. Then they go

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: into the final series, which is knockout stuff. They could

17
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: win that as well in their first season. It would

18
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: be quite the story.

19
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Did you see the video of the fans surrounding the bus.

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: Did you like it? I mean, I don't think anyone

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: was in serious danger or a have been heard. I thought, great,

22
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: it's good for the sport.

23
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 2: Well, I was like to be in Peru actually when

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: the All Whites played over there, and the Peruvian fans

25
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: did exactly the same thing. When the All Whites bus

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: arrived at the stadium, they completely surrounded them and stopped

27
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: them getting in. Look, I don't mind it. It's great

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: band to know. He's just say no one was going

29
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: to get hurt and look good on the Auckland FC

30
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: fans and so many of them as well. This fan

31
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: base has just grown by the day, So you know,

32
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: I loved it.

33
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: Could Joseph Parker get another title shot, do you think?

34
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: Or is that out of the picture now that he's

35
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: had this fight.

36
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: Well, I think boxing politics might be the only thing

37
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: that gets in the way. He wants to fight Dubois, who,

38
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: of course, he was supposed to fight until he pulled

39
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: out ill In King Martin Bicoli, who was out of shape,

40
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: and Joseph Parker beat him yesterday. So Parker wants to

41
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: fight Dubois, which was the scheduled fight. But Dubois now

42
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: saying I'm going to fight Alexander Usik to unify the

43
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: belts that we both have, so Joseph Parker is nearing

44
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: the front of the queue again, but it might just

45
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: be politics that gets in the way. All he can do,

46
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: I guess is weight. He did the job over the weekend,

47
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 2: and I love the fact that Joseph Parker has bounced

48
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: back from a couple of defeats and is still in

49
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: there and doing it pretty well at the moment.

50
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Thanks so much for that, Jason. Great to
