But as far as the development and progress 130 00:06:56,387 --> 00:06:59,387 Speaker 2: of the Wallabies under Joe Schmidt's coaching, how have you 131 00:06:59,467 --> 00:06:59,987 Speaker 2: assessed that. 132 00:07:01,627 --> 00:07:02,427 Speaker 8: He's been outstanding? 133 00:07:03,667 --> 00:07:06,387 Speaker 6: You know, I'd follow Joe from from Afar for a 134 00:07:06,427 --> 00:07:07,867 Speaker 6: long period of time and never had the oportunity to 135 00:07:07,907 --> 00:07:10,467 Speaker 6: meet him or or be coached by him, but certainly 136 00:07:10,507 --> 00:07:12,707 Speaker 6: impressed with the impact that he's had on all the 137 00:07:12,747 --> 00:07:14,827 Speaker 6: teams that he's worked with. And I think you know, 138 00:07:15,107 --> 00:07:19,067 Speaker 6: for us as Wallaby's supporters, you know, and being part 139 00:07:19,107 --> 00:07:22,467 Speaker 6: of that community here in Australia. It was really important 140 00:07:22,507 --> 00:07:24,707 Speaker 6: on the back of the World Cup in twenty twenty 141 00:07:24,787 --> 00:07:26,787 Speaker 6: three when we had a lot of players that were 142 00:07:27,267 --> 00:07:30,107 Speaker 6: almost broken by that experience. And I think the way 143 00:07:30,187 --> 00:07:32,907 Speaker 6: that Joe approaches things around his connection and his care 144 00:07:34,267 --> 00:07:38,107 Speaker 6: you know, his values and integrity, he's brought that into 145 00:07:38,147 --> 00:07:40,667 Speaker 6: the team and you know, for one of the words, 146 00:07:40,867 --> 00:07:43,547 Speaker 6: healed that team and now they're starting to build something 147 00:07:43,747 --> 00:07:45,267 Speaker 6: pretty spressure and I think you can see that in 148 00:07:45,307 --> 00:07:46,787 Speaker 6: the way that they've approached a lot of the games 149 00:07:46,827 --> 00:07:50,227 Speaker 6: this year. At times they haven't played the best football, 150 00:07:50,267 --> 00:07:52,107 Speaker 6: but they've managed to find a way to get things done. 151 00:07:52,107 --> 00:07:55,147 Speaker 6: And if you've watched enough sport, and I'm sure all 152 00:07:55,187 --> 00:07:58,587 Speaker 6: your listeners do, those teams that seem to find a 153 00:07:58,627 --> 00:08:00,507 Speaker 6: way are the ones that you know something special is 154 00:08:00,507 --> 00:08:02,987 Speaker 6: happening culturally. So you know, a bit of work for 155 00:08:03,027 --> 00:08:04,787 Speaker 6: the world is to do still in terms of execution 156 00:08:04,867 --> 00:08:08,587 Speaker 6: and accuracy. But what he's done culture has been magnificent. 157 00:08:08,667 --> 00:08:14,467 Speaker 6: And you know what a great reflection on on on 158 00:08:14,587 --> 00:08:16,747 Speaker 6: that New Zealand culture that he's brought to the team 159 00:08:17,027 --> 00:08:17,667 Speaker 6: within Australia. 160 00:08:17,787 --> 00:08:19,987 Speaker 2: Will you talk about finding a way? Did you think 161 00:08:20,067 --> 00:08:23,147 Speaker 2: the long wait for a win at Eden Park might 162 00:08:23,187 --> 00:08:24,267 Speaker 2: be coming last weekend. 163 00:08:25,547 --> 00:08:27,867 Speaker 6: Look, I was hopeful. It's one of those things that 164 00:08:28,387 --> 00:08:30,347 Speaker 6: you know, I was involved in the last one in 165 00:08:30,427 --> 00:08:33,667 Speaker 6: two thousand and two, and you sort of you wanted 166 00:08:33,707 --> 00:08:36,107 Speaker 6: the opportunity to contest it. You know, I did that 167 00:08:36,187 --> 00:08:38,147 Speaker 6: a few times in my career. You know, we got 168 00:08:38,187 --> 00:08:40,427 Speaker 6: to you get to that one all situation and you 169 00:08:40,507 --> 00:08:43,427 Speaker 6: don't get your hands on it. But this year I 170 00:08:43,507 --> 00:08:45,467 Speaker 6: think was the best opportunity we had in a long time. 171 00:08:45,507 --> 00:08:49,707 Speaker 6: And you know, credits for the All Blacks. They came 172 00:08:49,747 --> 00:08:52,107 Speaker 6: back from a hiding the week before and they're always 173 00:08:52,107 --> 00:08:54,147 Speaker 6: going to be tough eating Park, but I did think 174 00:08:54,187 --> 00:08:56,027 Speaker 6: there was a there was a bit of a chance there. 175 00:08:56,067 --> 00:09:00,227 Speaker 6: And having said that, I think the Wallabies, you know, 176 00:09:00,427 --> 00:09:05,787 Speaker 6: they probably if they're really clinical on it, they didn't 177 00:09:05,827 --> 00:09:08,107 Speaker 6: really make makes that opportunity. And you've got to take 178 00:09:08,147 --> 00:09:09,707 Speaker 6: the referee out of it, because you know, I thought 179 00:09:09,827 --> 00:09:12,427 Speaker 6: both teams probably had a bit of an opportunity to 180 00:09:12,467 --> 00:09:15,227 Speaker 6: talk about that. If they controlled what they could control, 181 00:09:16,227 --> 00:09:18,867 Speaker 6: I think they'd be a bit disappointed. They weren't quite 182 00:09:18,867 --> 00:09:20,627 Speaker 6: as accurate in a lot of areas and you can 183 00:09:20,667 --> 00:09:22,587 Speaker 6: see that in the penalty account. You can see that 184 00:09:22,627 --> 00:09:25,507 Speaker 6: in the turnovers and the unforced eras. So this weekend 185 00:09:25,547 --> 00:09:28,747 Speaker 6: I think they'll be looking to rectify that situation, but 186 00:09:28,947 --> 00:09:30,627 Speaker 6: unfortunately it won't. 187 00:09:30,387 --> 00:09:32,627 Speaker 2: Be for the But at those times, well, I think 188 00:09:33,107 --> 00:09:36,027 Speaker 2: most of our listeners, in fact, the vast majority, would 189 00:09:36,067 --> 00:09:38,627 Speaker 2: prefer a three game series where you know it's alive 190 00:09:38,787 --> 00:09:41,147 Speaker 2: and it was a live Tonight, that's not to be. 191 00:09:41,427 --> 00:09:44,787 Speaker 2: But I'm not sure that that dilutes Australia's desire in 192 00:09:44,827 --> 00:09:47,227 Speaker 2: any way, does it, Nathan. You'd imagine there'd be a 193 00:09:47,267 --> 00:09:49,707 Speaker 2: fairly committed a bunch of men and Green and Gold 194 00:09:49,747 --> 00:09:50,907 Speaker 2: tonight trying to square this up. 195 00:09:51,907 --> 00:09:54,187 Speaker 6: Look, I don't think it changed anything for the Wall 196 00:09:54,187 --> 00:09:55,627 Speaker 6: of Is. You know, they'll be wanting to get a 197 00:09:55,667 --> 00:09:59,147 Speaker 6: win against New Zealand on home soil. And you know, 198 00:09:59,467 --> 00:10:03,627 Speaker 6: I know from my time as a player, was lucky 199 00:10:03,707 --> 00:10:06,547 Speaker 6: enough to be in teams that were, you know, one 200 00:10:06,627 --> 00:10:09,027 Speaker 6: to three best teams in the world. But it's just 201 00:10:09,107 --> 00:10:11,507 Speaker 6: funny in the Australian psyche. You know, we could beat 202 00:10:11,547 --> 00:10:14,827 Speaker 6: every team in the world comfortably and then we'd lose 203 00:10:14,867 --> 00:10:16,587 Speaker 6: the letders through one old draw or something like that, 204 00:10:16,627 --> 00:10:18,147 Speaker 6: and you'd walk down the street and people go like, oh, 205 00:10:18,147 --> 00:10:21,107 Speaker 6: you got a rubbish because he didn't beat New Zealand. 206 00:10:21,187 --> 00:10:23,027 Speaker 6: So I can tell you there is plenty on the 207 00:10:23,107 --> 00:10:25,587 Speaker 6: line tonight for the Australian all these they're going to 208 00:10:25,627 --> 00:10:28,947 Speaker 6: want that win and become away from this campaign with 209 00:10:29,787 --> 00:10:31,227 Speaker 6: a one all status, one. 210 00:10:31,187 --> 00:10:35,067 Speaker 2: Hundred and sixteen test matches, you played against every rugby 211 00:10:35,187 --> 00:10:37,747 Speaker 2: nation in the world. How much did you relish your 212 00:10:37,787 --> 00:10:39,827 Speaker 2: battles with the All Blacks as a player? 213 00:10:41,187 --> 00:10:45,107 Speaker 6: Look at that other highlight for me, you always knew 214 00:10:45,147 --> 00:10:47,147 Speaker 6: that it was going to be a game where you 215 00:10:47,227 --> 00:10:49,587 Speaker 6: only had limited chances and if you didn't take those 216 00:10:49,627 --> 00:10:53,067 Speaker 6: opportunities then one they would make you pay, But to 217 00:10:53,627 --> 00:10:56,267 Speaker 6: you just didn't get many from them. So you know, 218 00:10:56,307 --> 00:10:58,347 Speaker 6: I remember reviewing games and you say, well, there's one 219 00:10:58,427 --> 00:11:01,467 Speaker 6: or two moments there. They're really the only opportunities that 220 00:11:01,787 --> 00:11:04,667 Speaker 6: we got against New Zealand, and that was quite unique 221 00:11:04,667 --> 00:11:06,827 Speaker 6: because you could play other teams now certain strong in 222 00:11:06,907 --> 00:11:10,707 Speaker 6: some areas, but you know, the New Zealand team, the 223 00:11:10,787 --> 00:11:15,307 Speaker 6: All Blacks when we would play them, that was strong 224 00:11:15,347 --> 00:11:18,467 Speaker 6: across the board, just good athletically, good combination, team, great 225 00:11:18,507 --> 00:11:21,627 Speaker 6: culturally as well, and that sometimes is a difficult thing 226 00:11:21,667 --> 00:11:24,387 Speaker 6: to find. In international sport as a team that has 227 00:11:24,787 --> 00:11:27,427 Speaker 6: all those properties covered, you know. And one of the 228 00:11:27,507 --> 00:11:29,827 Speaker 6: things that I that I always reflect on, like, if 229 00:11:29,867 --> 00:11:31,427 Speaker 6: you played against so Africa, you knew it was going 230 00:11:31,507 --> 00:11:32,667 Speaker 6: to be a heavy day. You know, you're going to 231 00:11:32,667 --> 00:11:34,107 Speaker 6: be tackling big bodies and all the rest of it. 232 00:11:34,707 --> 00:11:36,867 Speaker 6: But when you played the All Blacks, you were going 233 00:11:36,947 --> 00:11:40,067 Speaker 6: to be tackling heavy players, athletic players, and you had 234 00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:41,627 Speaker 6: to chase them as well. You had to do everything, 235 00:11:41,747 --> 00:11:43,827 Speaker 6: So it was a tiring game. You knew were going 236 00:11:43,867 --> 00:11:44,867 Speaker 6: to be out on your feet at the end of the. 237 00:11:44,907 --> 00:11:45,107 Speaker 7: End of it. 238 00:11:45,947 --> 00:11:47,427 Speaker 2: Where does you went over the All Blacks in the 239 00:11:47,507 --> 00:11:50,547 Speaker 2: two thousand and three Rugby World Cup semi final rate 240 00:11:50,747 --> 00:11:53,187 Speaker 2: among your most memorable matches in Green and Gold. 241 00:11:54,347 --> 00:11:56,707 Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, I think it's definitely in the top three 242 00:11:56,747 --> 00:11:59,867 Speaker 6: for me. And you know, yes one was the occasion 243 00:12:00,027 --> 00:12:02,507 Speaker 6: because you know the game previously that you know they 244 00:12:02,707 --> 00:12:05,187 Speaker 6: absolutely trounced us on the same oval, you know, maybe 245 00:12:05,787 --> 00:12:08,627 Speaker 6: six to eight weeks beforehand. But I think the thing 246 00:12:08,707 --> 00:12:12,187 Speaker 6: that sticks out for me the most is that and 247 00:12:12,267 --> 00:12:14,707 Speaker 6: people might not realize this, but New Zealand in that 248 00:12:14,787 --> 00:12:17,027 Speaker 6: sort of eighteen month period had been electric in terms 249 00:12:17,067 --> 00:12:23,387 Speaker 6: of scoring, tries off, counterattack, and turnover, and we effectively 250 00:12:23,467 --> 00:12:26,467 Speaker 6: change our game plan within a week. And the ability 251 00:12:26,507 --> 00:12:28,987 Speaker 6: to do that and then execute is something that still 252 00:12:28,987 --> 00:12:30,427 Speaker 6: sicks with me because that'st it easy thing to do 253 00:12:30,547 --> 00:12:32,667 Speaker 6: for a team that's been playing a specific way for 254 00:12:32,787 --> 00:12:34,707 Speaker 6: a couple of years to change that in six days 255 00:12:34,747 --> 00:12:37,147 Speaker 6: and then get the results. So, yeah, it does thick. 256 00:12:37,187 --> 00:12:38,187 Speaker 7: That was me a lot. 257 00:12:38,547 --> 00:12:41,067 Speaker 2: You often came up against the likes of Ali Williams 258 00:12:41,107 --> 00:12:43,547 Speaker 2: and Chris Jack and the All Black Second Road during 259 00:12:43,627 --> 00:12:46,867 Speaker 2: your time and the Wallabeest. What was your strategy, particularly 260 00:12:46,867 --> 00:12:48,307 Speaker 2: at lineout time against guys like that. 261 00:12:49,547 --> 00:12:51,747 Speaker 6: Well, it's funny, you know New Zealand for a long 262 00:12:51,747 --> 00:12:54,067 Speaker 6: period of time, that was their achilles here their line out, 263 00:12:54,187 --> 00:12:57,467 Speaker 6: and you know for us, we used to target that 264 00:12:57,667 --> 00:13:00,867 Speaker 6: for a long period and then you know, there came 265 00:13:00,907 --> 00:13:02,307 Speaker 6: a period of time where I think the All Blacks 266 00:13:02,387 --> 00:13:04,147 Speaker 6: recognize that and they put a lot of work into it. 267 00:13:04,987 --> 00:13:07,827 Speaker 6: They got a great athlete, Kiaran Reid coming into the 268 00:13:08,147 --> 00:13:11,107 Speaker 6: system and adding a third and fourth jumper really really 269 00:13:11,147 --> 00:13:14,147 Speaker 6: helped them. So they kind of went from you know 270 00:13:15,307 --> 00:13:17,907 Speaker 6: the bath house to the panhouse in that area. But 271 00:13:19,147 --> 00:13:22,227 Speaker 6: you know, playing against Ali and Chris Jack terrific competitors, 272 00:13:22,307 --> 00:13:24,467 Speaker 6: terrific all blacks and you know, I certainly was always 273 00:13:25,107 --> 00:13:29,507 Speaker 6: a huge challenge for myself and you know, mostly Dan 274 00:13:29,587 --> 00:13:31,987 Speaker 6: Vicken and Justin Harrison and to. 275 00:13:32,067 --> 00:13:35,987 Speaker 2: Tonight a big inclusion for the Wallabies. Will Skelton will 276 00:13:36,067 --> 00:13:38,307 Speaker 2: return to the second row. How big is that for 277 00:13:38,547 --> 00:13:40,227 Speaker 2: the Wallaby's having well back tonight? 278 00:13:41,307 --> 00:13:42,987 Speaker 6: Well, he has a big body. I can start by 279 00:13:43,027 --> 00:13:44,907 Speaker 6: saying that I'm not sure if anyone's seen him in person, 280 00:13:45,027 --> 00:13:47,467 Speaker 6: that's he's an absolute monster. And I think that that's 281 00:13:48,707 --> 00:13:50,987 Speaker 6: that that size is one thing, but I think that 282 00:13:51,187 --> 00:13:54,147 Speaker 6: the other thing that helps the Wallbies in their current 283 00:13:54,187 --> 00:13:56,227 Speaker 6: state is that he's got a huge amount of experience 284 00:13:56,307 --> 00:13:59,027 Speaker 6: and brings a level of calmness to the team. They 285 00:13:59,107 --> 00:14:02,547 Speaker 6: love having him in there, knowing that he's there to 286 00:14:02,547 --> 00:14:04,747 Speaker 6: support them. He's experienced, he knows all the right but 287 00:14:04,947 --> 00:14:07,307 Speaker 6: to push the opposition and he's big enough to do it. 288 00:14:07,467 --> 00:14:10,307 Speaker 6: So he's quite talismanic for the Wallabies. And I would 289 00:14:10,347 --> 00:14:12,747 Speaker 6: have loved to have seen him. I would have loved 290 00:14:12,747 --> 00:14:15,907 Speaker 6: to have seen him on the pitch last week, but 291 00:14:15,987 --> 00:14:17,227 Speaker 6: it wasn't to be. And I think he's going to 292 00:14:17,227 --> 00:14:18,347 Speaker 6: relished opportunity tonight. 293 00:14:18,787 --> 00:14:21,987 Speaker 2: And amongst all your other very the busy parts of 294 00:14:22,027 --> 00:14:24,987 Speaker 2: your life, you're now the President of Rugby Australia. What 295 00:14:25,067 --> 00:14:25,987 Speaker 2: does that role involve. 296 00:14:27,147 --> 00:14:29,467 Speaker 6: Yeah, look, it's been a great experience. So I thought 297 00:14:29,547 --> 00:14:32,707 Speaker 6: Joe Ross finished up in March and I took over 298 00:14:32,747 --> 00:14:35,507 Speaker 6: from there for a two year term. And you know, 299 00:14:35,587 --> 00:14:38,547 Speaker 6: one of the things in that position, it really is 300 00:14:38,667 --> 00:14:40,907 Speaker 6: an advocacy role, so you know, trying to grow the 301 00:14:40,987 --> 00:14:45,187 Speaker 6: game and keep all the member unions in Australia and 302 00:14:45,667 --> 00:14:47,827 Speaker 6: the Wallaby is together exlllectively trying to drive for their 303 00:14:47,867 --> 00:14:50,507 Speaker 6: outcomes for Australian rugby and both the women's and the 304 00:14:50,587 --> 00:14:54,427 Speaker 6: men's games. So you know, from that perspective, I'm involved 305 00:14:54,467 --> 00:14:57,627 Speaker 6: in the strategic direction of where things are going in 306 00:14:58,147 --> 00:15:00,387 Speaker 6: Australian rugby and I think that you know, you can 307 00:15:00,427 --> 00:15:02,507 Speaker 6: see the results on the pitch, but certainly there's been 308 00:15:02,507 --> 00:15:04,067 Speaker 6: a lot of work done outside of that in the 309 00:15:04,107 --> 00:15:07,467 Speaker 6: last eighteen months by the Board and Civil War and 310 00:15:07,587 --> 00:15:10,107 Speaker 6: Dan Herbert to sort of correct the nose of that 311 00:15:10,147 --> 00:15:12,907 Speaker 6: we were looking out in twenty twenty three, and it's 312 00:15:12,947 --> 00:15:14,787 Speaker 6: more about picking that work up and continuing went on 313 00:15:15,267 --> 00:15:17,507 Speaker 6: to keep growing the game. Here but also making the 314 00:15:17,587 --> 00:15:19,867 Speaker 6: wordies you back to that sort of top three competitive 315 00:15:19,867 --> 00:15:20,387 Speaker 6: team in the world. 316 00:15:20,547 --> 00:15:22,187 Speaker 2: Well, just to finish. Then we are two years out 317 00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:25,027 Speaker 2: from a Rugby World Cup on Australian soil. Surely your 318 00:15:25,067 --> 00:15:27,227 Speaker 2: presidency goes to the end of that tournament, does it 319 00:15:27,347 --> 00:15:28,507 Speaker 2: or do you have to give it up before there? 320 00:15:29,227 --> 00:15:31,787 Speaker 3: No, I've got to give it up last. 321 00:15:31,987 --> 00:15:32,187 Speaker 8: Yeah. 322 00:15:32,667 --> 00:15:35,747 Speaker 6: I enjoying all these games on the sideline and you 323 00:15:35,827 --> 00:15:37,707 Speaker 6: know that we pulled away from me mate, so yeah, no, 324 00:15:37,827 --> 00:15:41,707 Speaker 6: it's good.

We'll obviously wrap the game tomorrow in 340 00:16:19,907 --> 00:16:22,387 Speaker 2: great detail once we know what has played out tonight. 341 00:16:22,467 --> 00:16:24,627 Speaker 2: But a chance now to get some thoughts from you 342 00:16:24,747 --> 00:16:28,747 Speaker 2: on the All Blacks search for consistency. Really, that's the 343 00:16:29,387 --> 00:16:32,267 Speaker 2: thing I'm keen to see. The last five tests which 344 00:16:32,267 --> 00:16:36,347 Speaker 2: have made up the Rugby Championship, beat Argentina, lost to Argentina, 345 00:16:36,547 --> 00:16:39,947 Speaker 2: beat South Africa, lost to South Africa, beat Australia a 346 00:16:40,027 --> 00:16:43,507 Speaker 2: week ago. Can they buck the trend that they've followed 347 00:16:43,547 --> 00:16:46,587 Speaker 2: in the Rugby Championship and win back to back matches 348 00:16:46,627 --> 00:16:49,867 Speaker 2: the All Blacks, Well, of course they can. I feel 349 00:16:49,947 --> 00:16:52,667 Speaker 2: like they will. I feel like there will. I feel 350 00:16:52,667 --> 00:16:56,547 Speaker 2: like they wouldn't tonight. Yeah, there's been consistent and constant 351 00:16:56,667 --> 00:17:01,027 Speaker 2: improvement under Joe Schmidt by the Wallabies, but they too 352 00:17:01,107 --> 00:17:04,427 Speaker 2: are searching for consistency and what's been a very busy 353 00:17:04,507 --> 00:17:07,427 Speaker 2: year for them, A two to one SA loss to 354 00:17:07,507 --> 00:17:09,627 Speaker 2: the British and Irish Lions, a win and a loss 355 00:17:10,027 --> 00:17:13,667 Speaker 2: against South Africa, a win and a loss against Argentina 356 00:17:13,787 --> 00:17:15,867 Speaker 2: and a loss to the All Blacks last week. So 357 00:17:16,787 --> 00:17:20,867 Speaker 2: much as they have been impressive at times and much 358 00:17:20,987 --> 00:17:22,587 Speaker 2: much better than last year, and that was a low bar, 359 00:17:22,747 --> 00:17:25,227 Speaker 2: I know, with the shambles that Eddie Jones left behind, 360 00:17:25,507 --> 00:17:28,947 Speaker 2: they've still the Wallabies won just three of their eight 361 00:17:28,987 --> 00:17:32,827 Speaker 2: Test matches this year. They will take heart from last week, 362 00:17:32,907 --> 00:17:35,987 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. Coming back from what were they 363 00:17:36,027 --> 00:17:38,667 Speaker 2: twenty points to three down to get to within three 364 00:17:38,747 --> 00:17:41,667 Speaker 2: at halftime. It was twenty points to seventeen at half time. 365 00:17:41,867 --> 00:17:46,067 Speaker 2: They got to within two points after seventy minutes before 366 00:17:46,187 --> 00:17:49,467 Speaker 2: Camroy Guards try sealed it for the All Blacks. They'll 367 00:17:49,507 --> 00:17:52,547 Speaker 2: feel as though they're not that far away and with 368 00:17:52,667 --> 00:17:56,907 Speaker 2: a packed house behind them some key players back James 369 00:17:56,947 --> 00:18:00,587 Speaker 2: Slipper's final Test, they'll be well up for it, even 370 00:18:00,627 --> 00:18:04,427 Speaker 2: without the Bledisloe to play for, and just on the Bledisloe. 371 00:18:05,307 --> 00:18:08,067 Speaker 2: Don't you think if it's going to be a two 372 00:18:08,227 --> 00:18:11,587 Speaker 2: game series as it is for the most part now 373 00:18:12,307 --> 00:18:17,267 Speaker 2: due to a packed calendar and being unable to fit 374 00:18:17,307 --> 00:18:19,467 Speaker 2: a third Test in, don't you think the Bledisloe Cup 375 00:18:19,507 --> 00:18:24,307 Speaker 2: should be done on aggregate? It's far too heavily weighted 376 00:18:24,747 --> 00:18:27,827 Speaker 2: in our favor. When there's only two Test matches, all 377 00:18:27,867 --> 00:18:29,827 Speaker 2: you have to do is win one of them. When 378 00:18:29,867 --> 00:18:32,227 Speaker 2: I say all you have to do, well, that's been enough. 379 00:18:32,347 --> 00:18:34,347 Speaker 2: I mean there have been three Test series, I know, 380 00:18:34,547 --> 00:18:37,507 Speaker 2: since we took it off Australia back in two thousand 381 00:18:37,547 --> 00:18:40,307 Speaker 2: and three and haven't relinquished it since. But don't you 382 00:18:40,427 --> 00:18:43,787 Speaker 2: think it would be better if it was done on aggregate? 383 00:18:44,787 --> 00:18:47,507 Speaker 2: So what we won by nine last week? So the 384 00:18:47,547 --> 00:18:50,107 Speaker 2: Australians knew if they went out there tonight and won 385 00:18:50,187 --> 00:18:53,827 Speaker 2: by ten or more then they would take the Bledisloe Cup. 386 00:18:53,947 --> 00:18:57,227 Speaker 2: Isn't that a fairer system? Isn't that a much better 387 00:18:57,347 --> 00:19:01,147 Speaker 2: way of doing it? I know tonight is an occasion 388 00:19:01,267 --> 00:19:05,507 Speaker 2: in itself, but the Bledisloe Cup should be on the line, 389 00:19:05,547 --> 00:19:07,707 Speaker 2: shouldn't it. If it's going to be a two Test series, 390 00:19:07,787 --> 00:19:12,267 Speaker 2: make it aggregate? Speaking of occasions, the All Blacks have 391 00:19:12,347 --> 00:19:15,307 Speaker 2: played their best rugby this year at Eden Park, defending 392 00:19:15,347 --> 00:19:18,307 Speaker 2: the Fortress against both South Africa and Australia, snapping a 393 00:19:18,347 --> 00:19:22,027 Speaker 2: four game losing streak against the Springboks, and celebrating ARTI's 394 00:19:22,027 --> 00:19:24,427 Speaker 2: one hundredth Test match that was last month keeping the 395 00:19:24,467 --> 00:19:28,267 Speaker 2: Bledislow locked away last weekend. They've got up for occasions. 396 00:19:29,427 --> 00:19:31,667 Speaker 2: Now tonight doesn't have the same jeopardy about it. There's 397 00:19:31,707 --> 00:19:33,627 Speaker 2: no fortress to defend, and as I say, there's no 398 00:19:34,267 --> 00:19:38,107 Speaker 2: silverware on the line as far as the Bledisloe is concerned. 399 00:19:38,147 --> 00:19:39,707 Speaker 2: But these are the All Blacks. They shouldn't need an 400 00:19:39,747 --> 00:19:43,627 Speaker 2: occasion to get up for. Should they? Playing for the 401 00:19:43,667 --> 00:19:44,867 Speaker 2: All Blacks? Is the occasion? 402 00:19:45,787 --> 00:19:45,867 Speaker 9: Oh? 403 00:19:45,947 --> 00:19:47,707 Speaker 2: Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty anything you want to 404 00:19:47,707 --> 00:19:49,387 Speaker 2: pick up on. Haven't even mentioned the team, which I've 405 00:19:49,387 --> 00:19:50,827 Speaker 2: got some thoughts on. But let's get to the lines. 406 00:19:50,827 --> 00:19:54,067 Speaker 7: Hey, James Jason, how are you, mate? 407 00:19:54,587 --> 00:19:56,707 Speaker 2: Very good, James, very good, Thank you mate. 408 00:19:57,187 --> 00:20:00,027 Speaker 7: Lovely Hey, you must have been reading my Facebook post. 409 00:20:00,107 --> 00:20:04,107 Speaker 7: I've just been saying the same thing about doing the 410 00:20:04,347 --> 00:20:07,307 Speaker 7: football model and play it on aggregate of a two league. 411 00:20:07,627 --> 00:20:08,627 Speaker 7: A two league pie. 412 00:20:10,427 --> 00:20:14,387 Speaker 2: Doesn't otherwise Game two is effectively I hate the phrase, 413 00:20:14,427 --> 00:20:16,667 Speaker 2: but it's effectively a dead robber really in terms of 414 00:20:17,107 --> 00:20:19,507 Speaker 2: of the of the piece of silver where they're all chasing. 415 00:20:20,627 --> 00:20:22,587 Speaker 7: Oh, it's crazy. And then you get all these idiots 416 00:20:22,867 --> 00:20:26,627 Speaker 7: posting all these memes mocking Australia for not having read 417 00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:31,267 Speaker 7: a sorry Cup for twenty years and it's just it's ludicrous. 418 00:20:31,307 --> 00:20:34,987 Speaker 7: So basically I'm going to watch tonight's game with interest 419 00:20:35,387 --> 00:20:37,427 Speaker 7: on the basis of the All Blacks going into it 420 00:20:37,507 --> 00:20:40,667 Speaker 7: with a seven plus or a plus seven lead and 421 00:20:41,467 --> 00:20:44,227 Speaker 7: essentially so they've still got the advantage. You haven't taken 422 00:20:44,267 --> 00:20:47,467 Speaker 7: that away from them. It just means that the Australians 423 00:20:47,467 --> 00:20:49,547 Speaker 7: have got to chase down seven points, but to get 424 00:20:49,547 --> 00:20:54,227 Speaker 7: it to zero zero, yep, And that's there's the best 425 00:20:54,347 --> 00:20:59,747 Speaker 7: intrast factor there in itself. Quick work on a tago. 426 00:20:59,907 --> 00:21:02,827 Speaker 7: I hope they've been training for where the rugby all week. 427 00:21:03,107 --> 00:21:07,227 Speaker 7: It's cooking pretty bad all in the country and I 428 00:21:07,347 --> 00:21:09,907 Speaker 7: just I just wanted to say the other thing that's 429 00:21:10,027 --> 00:21:12,707 Speaker 7: with the target game. Everyone's been making a big deal 430 00:21:12,787 --> 00:21:15,667 Speaker 7: out of all these changes. There's been very little changes. 431 00:21:15,707 --> 00:21:19,627 Speaker 7: If you scrutinize the the game day twenty three. I mean, 432 00:21:20,027 --> 00:21:23,187 Speaker 7: Lucas Casey's dropped out altogether. He's had a barn storming season, 433 00:21:23,227 --> 00:21:26,987 Speaker 7: but he's replaced by Slag McDowell and that guy's a beast. 434 00:21:28,267 --> 00:21:32,547 Speaker 7: You've got Placher on the bench, replaced by a proven, 435 00:21:32,947 --> 00:21:37,587 Speaker 7: very very capable super rugby halfback. You know, I think 436 00:21:37,667 --> 00:21:42,147 Speaker 7: Nadeki gopped out altogether, but still the back line is 437 00:21:42,227 --> 00:21:44,667 Speaker 7: pretty much. Guys have been playing all season. You've got 438 00:21:45,667 --> 00:21:48,747 Speaker 7: Ollie Haiges coming to Lock. He's played so he's played 439 00:21:48,787 --> 00:21:53,587 Speaker 7: so rugby for the Islanders at Locke. Nomadi's on the bench. 440 00:21:54,067 --> 00:21:58,267 Speaker 7: I mean it's had a good target team despite the changes. 441 00:21:58,707 --> 00:22:00,907 Speaker 2: Oh with that question, I'm just looking at it now 442 00:22:00,987 --> 00:22:03,707 Speaker 2: as you're raiding it out there, James. I mean Christian 443 00:22:03,787 --> 00:22:06,027 Speaker 2: Leo will He's still there, you know. Will Taka is 444 00:22:06,027 --> 00:22:09,147 Speaker 2: a very good lockforward. Liam Coltman, he of one hundred 445 00:22:09,227 --> 00:22:13,587 Speaker 2: games now for the Otago side and a former All Black. Look, 446 00:22:13,747 --> 00:22:15,947 Speaker 2: I think they'll beat Auckland this afternoon and they could 447 00:22:16,107 --> 00:22:19,227 Speaker 2: look Otago could win the MPC. There's no doubt about it. 448 00:22:19,307 --> 00:22:23,387 Speaker 7: They've been very good this year, absolutely, and she just 449 00:22:23,467 --> 00:22:27,267 Speaker 7: as a quicker side. Before I finish on a I'm 450 00:22:27,307 --> 00:22:30,067 Speaker 7: an Arsenal fan. You won't like to hear that, but 451 00:22:31,067 --> 00:22:36,707 Speaker 7: I'm probably probably North London is Lillington born. Arsenal's the family, 452 00:22:37,667 --> 00:22:41,507 Speaker 7: the family team. So here's a scenario for your piney 453 00:22:43,107 --> 00:22:49,307 Speaker 7: Tiger get up beat Auckland today. Arsenal beat west Ham. 454 00:22:50,947 --> 00:22:53,507 Speaker 7: So what that could mean is I'll be watching the 455 00:22:53,947 --> 00:22:56,227 Speaker 7: I won't watch it live. I'll probably get up watch 456 00:22:56,307 --> 00:22:59,947 Speaker 7: the Arsenal game about nine am blade and then if 457 00:23:00,067 --> 00:23:02,947 Speaker 7: we'll be west Ham then I'll probably very likely to 458 00:23:02,987 --> 00:23:05,507 Speaker 7: stay up and watch the entire Liverpool game to see 459 00:23:05,507 --> 00:23:09,267 Speaker 7: if we can spot. And then I've got the Taranaki 460 00:23:09,347 --> 00:23:11,627 Speaker 7: Canterbury game with some skin in that one as well 461 00:23:12,067 --> 00:23:16,427 Speaker 7: for Taranaki to be Cannbury so it Targa can finish 462 00:23:16,587 --> 00:23:20,507 Speaker 7: top as well. So there's there's my Sunday for your piney. 463 00:23:20,947 --> 00:23:24,667 Speaker 2: Absolutely brilliant, James, Absolutely I love that. Look you You 464 00:23:25,187 --> 00:23:27,627 Speaker 2: sound like you approach your weekends in the same way 465 00:23:27,667 --> 00:23:31,467 Speaker 2: that I do. You look at the sporting fixtures across 466 00:23:31,507 --> 00:23:34,427 Speaker 2: a variety of codes and you sort yourself out and 467 00:23:34,467 --> 00:23:36,827 Speaker 2: do the other stuff in between. Great to chat to you, mate, 468 00:23:36,827 --> 00:23:39,427 Speaker 2: Look I look. I I mean, yes, you know, I'm 469 00:23:39,427 --> 00:23:42,267 Speaker 2: a Liverpool fan, but like look, I I've admired Arsenal 470 00:23:42,307 --> 00:23:44,067 Speaker 2: and what they've been doing. Did you see Bournemouth are 471 00:23:44,147 --> 00:23:45,827 Speaker 2: up to second now they had to win this morning 472 00:23:46,187 --> 00:23:48,427 Speaker 2: over Fulham, So I mean it's great to see, you know, 473 00:23:48,627 --> 00:23:51,387 Speaker 2: a lesser light of the Premier League, you know, doing well. 474 00:23:51,427 --> 00:23:53,627 Speaker 2: But mate, look I'll be thinking of you as I 475 00:23:53,747 --> 00:23:56,307 Speaker 2: too watch many of the same fixtures that you will 476 00:23:56,347 --> 00:23:58,627 Speaker 2: be over the next sort of twenty four hours or so. 477 00:23:58,787 --> 00:24:00,787 Speaker 2: Good to chat to you, James, Thanks indeed, mate, twelve 478 00:24:00,867 --> 00:24:02,467 Speaker 2: thirty one on news talks here, But let's talk some 479 00:24:02,587 --> 00:24:04,507 Speaker 2: All Blacks. O eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty 480 00:24:05,067 --> 00:24:07,787 Speaker 2: is our number the team tonight. We're going to talk 481 00:24:07,827 --> 00:24:10,187 Speaker 2: about that in a secon. Do you feel confident that 482 00:24:10,227 --> 00:24:12,947 Speaker 2: All Blacks can go back to back for the first 483 00:24:13,027 --> 00:24:15,667 Speaker 2: time since what the back end of They won the 484 00:24:15,707 --> 00:24:17,547 Speaker 2: third Test against France, didn't they and then the first 485 00:24:17,587 --> 00:24:20,587 Speaker 2: one against Argentina, So since then we haven't had back 486 00:24:20,627 --> 00:24:25,267 Speaker 2: to back wins in the Bledisloe Cup. Surely it should 487 00:24:25,307 --> 00:24:28,627 Speaker 2: be an aggregate situation, shouldn't it. If we're only going 488 00:24:28,667 --> 00:24:32,867 Speaker 2: to play two tests, then surely aggregate comes into play. Oh, 489 00:24:32,907 --> 00:24:34,747 Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty back with more of 490 00:24:34,827 --> 00:24:35,507 Speaker 2: your calls after this. 491 00:24:36,267 --> 00:24:39,747 Speaker 1: The biggest seams in sports are on Weekend Sports with 492 00:24:39,987 --> 00:24:44,067 Speaker 1: Jason Paine and GJ. Gunnerhomes New Zealand's most trusted home 493 00:24:44,107 --> 00:24:45,107 Speaker 1: builder News Dogs. 494 00:24:45,147 --> 00:24:47,547 Speaker 2: That'd be twenty six to one. Just kind of message 495 00:24:47,587 --> 00:24:49,227 Speaker 2: from a very good friend of mine, who says, did 496 00:24:49,307 --> 00:24:53,787 Speaker 2: I just hear you publicly announce Piney that you admire Arsenal? Wow? 497 00:24:55,707 --> 00:24:57,827 Speaker 2: Oh jeep, Sorry mate, Yes, I did say that. I 498 00:24:57,907 --> 00:24:59,907 Speaker 2: did say that a couple of suggestions on the bledisloe 499 00:24:59,947 --> 00:25:02,947 Speaker 2: should be up every game like the Ranfurley Shield. Not 500 00:25:03,067 --> 00:25:03,707 Speaker 2: in favor of that. 501 00:25:03,987 --> 00:25:04,387 Speaker 10: Not for me. 502 00:25:04,947 --> 00:25:07,707 Speaker 2: It's a series still a set. But if there are 503 00:25:07,747 --> 00:25:12,387 Speaker 2: two games, surely agriget comes into it. John, Hi, mate, Oh. 504 00:25:12,387 --> 00:25:13,507 Speaker 11: Mate, how are you good? 505 00:25:13,547 --> 00:25:13,747 Speaker 2: Thank you? 506 00:25:13,867 --> 00:25:14,907 Speaker 3: John? Good? 507 00:25:14,987 --> 00:25:15,147 Speaker 8: Good. 508 00:25:15,427 --> 00:25:18,747 Speaker 11: He just looking forward to the game this weekend. However, 509 00:25:19,507 --> 00:25:22,067 Speaker 11: just wondering what you thought so on Razor, I've sort 510 00:25:22,067 --> 00:25:23,827 Speaker 11: of given him a year and a half and which 511 00:25:23,907 --> 00:25:25,547 Speaker 11: is just to be able to come up now with 512 00:25:25,747 --> 00:25:30,467 Speaker 11: his tenure top with concerns. I don't see a game plan. 513 00:25:31,467 --> 00:25:34,467 Speaker 11: I don't see the All Blacks evolving too much. And 514 00:25:34,547 --> 00:25:38,587 Speaker 11: the biggest thing is is that, for example, Rico Yuani 515 00:25:40,027 --> 00:25:44,827 Speaker 11: at center, I put it back to man, he was 516 00:25:44,867 --> 00:25:48,867 Speaker 11: a blockblusting wing talking ten years to develop into a 517 00:25:48,987 --> 00:25:53,027 Speaker 11: passing second five and a kicking second five. I don't 518 00:25:53,107 --> 00:25:57,787 Speaker 11: think we're actually giving young guys to go to evolve themselves. 519 00:25:57,907 --> 00:26:01,307 Speaker 11: And just wondering what your thoughts are because I actually 520 00:26:01,347 --> 00:26:03,547 Speaker 11: don't see a pathway here at the moment at all. 521 00:26:04,067 --> 00:26:05,627 Speaker 2: We're just on the Rico thing. I think he's been 522 00:26:05,667 --> 00:26:09,587 Speaker 2: given a fair cracket center under Razor and previously under 523 00:26:09,627 --> 00:26:12,627 Speaker 2: Ian Foster. I think he's had four years there, John, 524 00:26:12,747 --> 00:26:15,707 Speaker 2: So I think he's been given a decent crack and 525 00:26:15,827 --> 00:26:18,027 Speaker 2: they were keen to look at other options there. I 526 00:26:18,067 --> 00:26:20,387 Speaker 2: think he's given Billy Proctor a decent crack and it 527 00:26:20,467 --> 00:26:22,947 Speaker 2: hasn't quite worked out for Billy in the way that 528 00:26:22,987 --> 00:26:24,907 Speaker 2: I'm sure he would have hoped for. So tonight it's 529 00:26:25,347 --> 00:26:28,507 Speaker 2: Quinta Pie, which does interest me because I don't think 530 00:26:28,547 --> 00:26:30,947 Speaker 2: Quinta Pie has ever played center that I can remember. 531 00:26:31,027 --> 00:26:33,667 Speaker 2: He's a second five. I know the positions aren't aren't 532 00:26:33,667 --> 00:26:36,827 Speaker 2: that dissimilar, but they are. They do have their own nuances, 533 00:26:37,267 --> 00:26:40,147 Speaker 2: so that interests me. I think to answer your original question, John, 534 00:26:40,147 --> 00:26:42,307 Speaker 2: I think there's still the jury's still very much out 535 00:26:42,787 --> 00:26:44,867 Speaker 2: on Scott Robertson as All Blacks coach. And here we are, 536 00:26:45,467 --> 00:26:47,627 Speaker 2: you know, coming. I guess we're two thirds of the 537 00:26:47,667 --> 00:26:50,067 Speaker 2: way through his second year, coming up halfway through the 538 00:26:50,107 --> 00:26:53,267 Speaker 2: World Cup cycle. Look put it this way, mate, he 539 00:26:53,267 --> 00:26:55,067 Speaker 2: wouldn't want to lose too many more test matches this 540 00:26:55,187 --> 00:26:56,787 Speaker 2: year exactly. 541 00:26:56,947 --> 00:26:57,147 Speaker 11: Yeah. 542 00:26:58,827 --> 00:27:01,707 Speaker 2: But John, one thing I will say is that he's 543 00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:05,387 Speaker 2: talked about this four four four four deep in every 544 00:27:05,467 --> 00:27:07,667 Speaker 2: position over four years to win a fourth World Cup. 545 00:27:07,707 --> 00:27:11,107 Speaker 2: I had a check yesterday. He's used fifty five blokes. 546 00:27:11,227 --> 00:27:13,707 Speaker 2: Fifty five guys have worn the black jersey since Raser 547 00:27:13,747 --> 00:27:16,587 Speaker 2: took over, so at least he's given it a crack 548 00:27:16,627 --> 00:27:19,067 Speaker 2: at building depth. Yees. Some of those have been tried 549 00:27:19,107 --> 00:27:22,787 Speaker 2: and then discarded. But he's he's he is giving out opportunities. 550 00:27:22,827 --> 00:27:24,347 Speaker 2: And if you're going to do that, the first two 551 00:27:24,467 --> 00:27:27,227 Speaker 2: years of a Rugby World Cup cycle are surely when 552 00:27:27,227 --> 00:27:27,587 Speaker 2: you do it. 553 00:27:28,707 --> 00:27:28,867 Speaker 12: Yes. 554 00:27:29,587 --> 00:27:32,907 Speaker 11: So what's your thoughts on the centers combination? Because you 555 00:27:32,987 --> 00:27:36,227 Speaker 11: know I loved it at the apprenticeship Tim Horn and 556 00:27:36,867 --> 00:27:42,227 Speaker 11: little Head against Joe Stanley. Everley got flogged, but hello, 557 00:27:42,667 --> 00:27:45,347 Speaker 11: two three years later they won a World Cup. Are 558 00:27:45,467 --> 00:27:46,987 Speaker 11: we embracing that enough or not? 559 00:27:47,907 --> 00:27:50,867 Speaker 2: Good question, John, Yell. When you think about it's hard 560 00:27:50,947 --> 00:27:54,307 Speaker 2: to talk about a center or a second five in isolation, 561 00:27:54,467 --> 00:27:56,707 Speaker 2: isn't it, Because you think about one and you often 562 00:27:56,867 --> 00:28:00,227 Speaker 2: get another. Walter Little and Frank buntz Unnona who you mentioned, 563 00:28:00,267 --> 00:28:03,787 Speaker 2: and Conrad Smith you know Little and you know Jason 564 00:28:03,827 --> 00:28:07,507 Speaker 2: Litlan and Tim Horne, as you said either way, Yeah, 565 00:28:07,667 --> 00:28:10,467 Speaker 2: so I think Jordi Barrett's the second five. I just 566 00:28:11,267 --> 00:28:14,587 Speaker 2: and they clearly wanted to give Billy Procter the chance 567 00:28:14,707 --> 00:28:19,067 Speaker 2: to be thirteen, and he might still be, but again 568 00:28:19,787 --> 00:28:22,587 Speaker 2: he hasn't he hasn't locked in that place for me. 569 00:28:22,787 --> 00:28:24,827 Speaker 2: So I don't know who the thirteen is. It's a 570 00:28:24,867 --> 00:28:26,867 Speaker 2: long when we're saying I don't know who the thirteen is. 571 00:28:26,947 --> 00:28:30,507 Speaker 11: John, Now, well, that's the thing is like we've got 572 00:28:30,547 --> 00:28:32,587 Speaker 11: all these big ball running players and we could put 573 00:28:32,667 --> 00:28:36,107 Speaker 11: two three in there, but where's our distribution guy? You know, 574 00:28:36,267 --> 00:28:39,027 Speaker 11: the guy Anthony Brown is being a little older to 575 00:28:39,307 --> 00:28:42,307 Speaker 11: understand that, but the guy with the silkie skills that 576 00:28:42,387 --> 00:28:45,347 Speaker 11: can pop the ball left and right, the compliment the 577 00:28:45,587 --> 00:28:48,147 Speaker 11: likes of Jordi Barrett or of proper you know, and 578 00:28:49,427 --> 00:28:53,667 Speaker 11: just yeah, just the Christian marker out with Raiser. I'm 579 00:28:53,707 --> 00:28:56,147 Speaker 11: the big fan of Jamie Joseph and what he did 580 00:28:56,187 --> 00:28:58,507 Speaker 11: with the Highlanders, a win that that high out the 581 00:28:58,547 --> 00:29:02,427 Speaker 11: scale of rugby playing at a high tempo. I love 582 00:29:02,507 --> 00:29:05,027 Speaker 11: their heads up Rudby. I don't like the pod system 583 00:29:05,547 --> 00:29:08,547 Speaker 11: and we've seen to be sort of fun. Feels like 584 00:29:08,667 --> 00:29:11,947 Speaker 11: you're blacked a just here to lose instead of being 585 00:29:12,947 --> 00:29:14,587 Speaker 11: playing the game. What's in front of him, you know? 586 00:29:14,747 --> 00:29:16,827 Speaker 11: And Beth Moony grow up at the moment. 587 00:29:17,467 --> 00:29:19,507 Speaker 2: Good chat John, good chat mate, Great to chatty you 588 00:29:19,587 --> 00:29:22,907 Speaker 2: thanks for calling in and making some really good points. Midfielders. 589 00:29:24,027 --> 00:29:27,267 Speaker 2: I mentioned the fifty five players that Scott Robertson has used. 590 00:29:27,387 --> 00:29:29,627 Speaker 2: Jordi Barrett, David Harvelli who's not in the current squad, 591 00:29:29,627 --> 00:29:32,667 Speaker 2: Anton Lenart Brown, Billy Procter, to Mathy Tavatava Nahwai injured 592 00:29:32,707 --> 00:29:35,547 Speaker 2: at the moment obviously, and Quinsupaya. Those are the six 593 00:29:35,667 --> 00:29:40,027 Speaker 2: midfielders that Scott Robertson has used. He hasn't used Braydon Enor, 594 00:29:40,227 --> 00:29:43,027 Speaker 2: who was still contracted to New Zealand Rugby and who 595 00:29:43,067 --> 00:29:46,187 Speaker 2: played a lot of rugby under Razor at the Crusaders. Yeah. 596 00:29:46,427 --> 00:29:49,707 Speaker 2: I think most people think Jordi Barrett is the best 597 00:29:49,707 --> 00:29:51,267 Speaker 2: second five. Having said that, I've seen a lot of 598 00:29:51,267 --> 00:29:53,747 Speaker 2: people suggested you go back to fullback and we should 599 00:29:53,787 --> 00:29:59,107 Speaker 2: look at something doing something different in midfield, but no 600 00:29:59,267 --> 00:30:02,387 Speaker 2: one has. No one has locked in the thirteen jumper, 601 00:30:03,107 --> 00:30:03,987 Speaker 2: no one's done that yet. 602 00:30:04,587 --> 00:30:07,747 Speaker 7: Hi Jamie, Kay, Jason, You're right. 603 00:30:08,067 --> 00:30:09,947 Speaker 2: I'm good, Jamie. How are you feeling the same tonight? 604 00:30:10,987 --> 00:30:11,147 Speaker 8: Good? 605 00:30:11,227 --> 00:30:11,427 Speaker 7: Good? 606 00:30:12,067 --> 00:30:14,267 Speaker 13: And yeah, I just wanted to say that, Yeah, the 607 00:30:14,387 --> 00:30:18,347 Speaker 13: game tonight. Yeah, hopefully the bits will go back it 608 00:30:18,467 --> 00:30:20,387 Speaker 13: up again, you know, just put to to get two 609 00:30:20,467 --> 00:30:25,787 Speaker 13: ones together for a change, you know. But I also, yeah, 610 00:30:25,787 --> 00:30:29,267 Speaker 13: I think Australia will be stronger tonight with especially with 611 00:30:30,507 --> 00:30:34,107 Speaker 13: with Skelton and Valatini back for then they'll be there'll 612 00:30:34,107 --> 00:30:36,747 Speaker 13: be pretty big for them, so playing in front of 613 00:30:36,747 --> 00:30:38,307 Speaker 13: our home crowd. So I think you'll be a really 614 00:30:38,627 --> 00:30:42,307 Speaker 13: really good test tonight. In terms of the Breeder side, yeah, 615 00:30:42,427 --> 00:30:45,387 Speaker 13: I think it's if it's a two series, and yeah 616 00:30:45,427 --> 00:30:48,107 Speaker 13: it should be on get you know, it's this this 617 00:30:48,267 --> 00:30:50,947 Speaker 13: sort of like it's a you know, it's sort of 618 00:30:50,947 --> 00:30:52,467 Speaker 13: like a bit of a bit of a fat thing, 619 00:30:52,507 --> 00:30:55,987 Speaker 13: you know, the game this week. But I also I 620 00:30:56,107 --> 00:30:58,587 Speaker 13: was even another suggestion. I mean, I'm not sure if 621 00:30:58,587 --> 00:31:01,707 Speaker 13: you'd be on board with this, pointy, but I reckon. 622 00:31:01,907 --> 00:31:05,707 Speaker 13: If I reckon, they should probably have a one off 623 00:31:05,747 --> 00:31:08,987 Speaker 13: around around Anti weekend. Obviously that's going to crash with 624 00:31:09,227 --> 00:31:12,067 Speaker 13: Super Rugby, but I think it was just a one 625 00:31:12,107 --> 00:31:15,867 Speaker 13: off game on Seas that weekend, and and then if 626 00:31:15,907 --> 00:31:18,907 Speaker 13: you're if you and at the lose gay, well, if 627 00:31:18,947 --> 00:31:20,547 Speaker 13: they want to get a bet, they can have the 628 00:31:20,627 --> 00:31:24,267 Speaker 13: two games during the Rugby Championship having to win both. 629 00:31:24,307 --> 00:31:26,467 Speaker 13: I don't know what do you feel about something like that? 630 00:31:27,107 --> 00:31:30,067 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm starting to come round to that idea, Jamie. 631 00:31:30,147 --> 00:31:32,347 Speaker 2: I must say, when it was first patched, I guess 632 00:31:32,427 --> 00:31:35,587 Speaker 2: the the realist and me said, okay, well, how how's 633 00:31:35,667 --> 00:31:37,267 Speaker 2: that going to work in the middle of Super Rugby, 634 00:31:37,347 --> 00:31:40,227 Speaker 2: Because you know, the players would need to leave their 635 00:31:40,267 --> 00:31:43,227 Speaker 2: Super Rugby franchises for at least a week before the 636 00:31:43,307 --> 00:31:47,707 Speaker 2: ANZAC Test and then recover afterwards. So you're probably looking 637 00:31:47,747 --> 00:31:51,067 Speaker 2: at our top players missing two games of Super Rugby 638 00:31:51,147 --> 00:31:53,187 Speaker 2: and then you say to yourself, well, actually is that 639 00:31:53,467 --> 00:31:56,507 Speaker 2: is that? Is that necessarily catastrophic? I'm not sure that 640 00:31:56,587 --> 00:31:58,307 Speaker 2: it is. And if it achieves the aim as you've 641 00:31:58,467 --> 00:32:01,427 Speaker 2: outlined of having a three test series every year, one 642 00:32:01,507 --> 00:32:05,307 Speaker 2: at ANZAC weekend and then two as part of the 643 00:32:05,387 --> 00:32:08,107 Speaker 2: Rugby Championship, so we get rid of this two game 644 00:32:08,187 --> 00:32:10,147 Speaker 2: series which just seems to be a bit sort of 645 00:32:10,547 --> 00:32:13,347 Speaker 2: neither here nor there for me, then I don't actually 646 00:32:13,427 --> 00:32:15,267 Speaker 2: mind it. I'd like to hear more. I'd like to 647 00:32:15,347 --> 00:32:15,747 Speaker 2: hear more. 648 00:32:17,067 --> 00:32:19,587 Speaker 13: Yeah, because I mean we've tried three game series in 649 00:32:19,667 --> 00:32:22,347 Speaker 13: the past, and I show this story even one of those. 650 00:32:22,427 --> 00:32:25,227 Speaker 13: I always figured it's the best chance of getting the 651 00:32:25,267 --> 00:32:28,227 Speaker 13: Beckers in the one off. But yeah, that's just what 652 00:32:28,347 --> 00:32:29,307 Speaker 13: I think anyway. 653 00:32:29,707 --> 00:32:32,427 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, good thoughts, Jamie. Always good to chat mate. 654 00:32:32,427 --> 00:32:34,787 Speaker 2: Thanks for calling in oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, 655 00:32:34,867 --> 00:32:36,747 Speaker 2: Craig says, Jason, is it just me or does everyone 656 00:32:36,747 --> 00:32:38,987 Speaker 2: else think the Aussie rugby team play in orange? And 657 00:32:39,107 --> 00:32:42,027 Speaker 2: what color is that color? Gold? That's not orange, Crake, 658 00:32:42,547 --> 00:32:47,547 Speaker 2: that's not orange. You might need introduce some work on 659 00:32:47,627 --> 00:32:50,107 Speaker 2: the contrast on your TV. Orange is what the Dutch 660 00:32:50,147 --> 00:32:53,507 Speaker 2: football team where that's orange? Pretty sure that's yellow or 661 00:32:53,547 --> 00:32:56,707 Speaker 2: Australian gold as they call it over there. Craig. Thanks 662 00:32:56,747 --> 00:33:00,107 Speaker 2: for your text play points differentially across the two games, 663 00:33:00,187 --> 00:33:02,147 Speaker 2: the Wallabies win by more than nine tonight, they get 664 00:33:02,187 --> 00:33:04,667 Speaker 2: the cup. Brenda says, yes, you do have to win 665 00:33:04,747 --> 00:33:06,707 Speaker 2: two matches to get the Bledislow, assuming it's a three 666 00:33:06,747 --> 00:33:08,547 Speaker 2: match series. But when it's only two matches and the 667 00:33:08,547 --> 00:33:10,147 Speaker 2: hold it wins the first, then the next test is 668 00:33:10,147 --> 00:33:12,507 Speaker 2: a dead rubber. This has to change. Are we scared 669 00:33:12,547 --> 00:33:12,907 Speaker 2: to lose it? 670 00:33:12,987 --> 00:33:13,067 Speaker 10: Oh? 671 00:33:13,107 --> 00:33:14,707 Speaker 2: I think we're scared to lose it?

Tony says it maybe weighted our way, 688 00:33:54,267 --> 00:33:56,387 Speaker 2: but if the Ossies held it, it would be equally 689 00:33:56,507 --> 00:33:59,187 Speaker 2: waited for them. To gain a championship. You must beat 690 00:33:59,227 --> 00:34:02,307 Speaker 2: the champ, not equal them.

Thank you, Tony 692 00:34:05,147 --> 00:34:07,947 Speaker 2: Um and no, I've read that once, so we can 693 00:34:07,987 --> 00:34:13,387 Speaker 2: go back to the lines. Rob, Hello, mate, Rob just 694 00:34:13,427 --> 00:34:15,107 Speaker 2: turned that radio down. In the background. They made it 695 00:34:15,187 --> 00:34:17,907 Speaker 2: all confuse you because we're in delay just in case 696 00:34:17,947 --> 00:34:20,147 Speaker 2: you say something you shouldn't. So hopefully you've turned that down. 697 00:34:21,387 --> 00:34:25,107 Speaker 2: Well that's there, Rob, No, no, not there. There's going 698 00:34:25,147 --> 00:34:25,667 Speaker 2: to Mark Hi. 699 00:34:25,707 --> 00:34:26,027 Speaker 6: Mark. 700 00:34:27,747 --> 00:34:31,307 Speaker 15: Hey By. Yeah, I just want to mention the most 701 00:34:31,507 --> 00:34:36,507 Speaker 15: forgotten all Black coach who won a world championship last week, 702 00:34:36,667 --> 00:34:39,947 Speaker 15: John Mitchell. He seemed to fly. 703 00:34:39,987 --> 00:34:40,587 Speaker 7: Under the raid. 704 00:34:40,987 --> 00:34:43,187 Speaker 15: It seemed to fly under the raider, didn't it. 705 00:34:44,227 --> 00:34:46,307 Speaker 2: I guess I look, I I think we sort of 706 00:34:46,307 --> 00:34:48,787 Speaker 2: picked up on the fact that our old mate John 707 00:34:48,827 --> 00:34:51,947 Speaker 2: Mitchell was in charge of the England Read Roses and 708 00:34:51,987 --> 00:34:55,227 Speaker 2: has obviously done a very good job there. Yeah no, no, 709 00:34:55,347 --> 00:34:57,747 Speaker 2: I was. I was aware that he was there. Mark. 710 00:34:58,107 --> 00:34:58,307 Speaker 4: Yeah. 711 00:34:58,387 --> 00:35:00,987 Speaker 15: No, it didn't seem to really make the news or 712 00:35:00,987 --> 00:35:01,627 Speaker 15: anything like that. 713 00:35:01,787 --> 00:35:01,987 Speaker 3: To me. 714 00:35:02,107 --> 00:35:04,987 Speaker 15: It's just interesting, really, I mean, it was also pretty 715 00:35:05,067 --> 00:35:08,707 Speaker 15: much the coach who and produced the rotation and the team, 716 00:35:08,787 --> 00:35:11,867 Speaker 15: didn't he really he? And now it's become sort of 717 00:35:12,027 --> 00:35:16,547 Speaker 15: basically what every every rugby team in the world, does you. 718 00:35:16,587 --> 00:35:17,747 Speaker 2: Reckon he was ahead of his time? 719 00:35:19,787 --> 00:35:20,707 Speaker 7: He's probably I think he. 720 00:35:20,787 --> 00:35:24,347 Speaker 15: Was probably unfairly criticized, although he didn't a lot Christian Collen, 721 00:35:24,387 --> 00:35:28,227 Speaker 15: which was a bit of a mark against the tonight's game. 722 00:35:28,267 --> 00:35:31,547 Speaker 15: I'm interested in how Tufire goes in midfield and obviously 723 00:35:31,667 --> 00:35:33,867 Speaker 15: Lester on the wing. I think that's a that's a 724 00:35:33,907 --> 00:35:37,347 Speaker 15: good choices that he's a great, great player. I think 725 00:35:37,427 --> 00:35:40,347 Speaker 15: the bench is quite exciting, I mean Satisi coming off. 726 00:35:40,427 --> 00:35:44,627 Speaker 15: And I'm also quite interested in how Bauer is going 727 00:35:44,707 --> 00:35:47,147 Speaker 15: to go. Bao was like he was quite a star 728 00:35:47,227 --> 00:35:49,867 Speaker 15: when he sort of burst onto the scene scene and 729 00:35:49,907 --> 00:35:53,347 Speaker 15: then he sort of got injured quite severely and it's 730 00:35:53,387 --> 00:35:55,267 Speaker 15: taken him a long time to sort of work his 731 00:35:55,427 --> 00:35:58,267 Speaker 15: way back. And yeah, I'll be really interested to see 732 00:35:58,307 --> 00:35:59,267 Speaker 15: how he goes. 733 00:35:59,947 --> 00:36:03,947 Speaker 2: Yeah, same same mark, And yeah, he's a guy who's 734 00:36:04,187 --> 00:36:06,947 Speaker 2: who you're right, has had had problems with injuries that 735 00:36:06,987 --> 00:36:08,947 Speaker 2: have kept now things tonight. In fact, I know it 736 00:36:09,067 --> 00:36:11,227 Speaker 2: is it's his first test of the year, isn't it 737 00:36:11,587 --> 00:36:14,427 Speaker 2: for George Bauer tonight? And you do have to keep 738 00:36:14,427 --> 00:36:16,667 Speaker 2: on building that prop depth. I talked before about how 739 00:36:16,707 --> 00:36:20,987 Speaker 2: many players racers picked eight front Rowers. So you know, 740 00:36:21,067 --> 00:36:22,667 Speaker 2: George Bower more of a tight hair prop I guess 741 00:36:22,747 --> 00:36:25,667 Speaker 2: so Ethan de Groot, Olie Norris and then the likes 742 00:36:25,667 --> 00:36:28,467 Speaker 2: of Mighty Williams can play both sides in that mix 743 00:36:28,547 --> 00:36:30,147 Speaker 2: as well. But yeah, I don't think you can ever 744 00:36:30,227 --> 00:36:30,987 Speaker 2: have too many, can you. 745 00:36:32,707 --> 00:36:34,667 Speaker 15: No, that's right, You've got to build the depth and 746 00:36:34,787 --> 00:36:36,667 Speaker 15: just on the buddess lit I think I think they 747 00:36:36,667 --> 00:36:38,787 Speaker 15: should have to win every game against US, and actually 748 00:36:38,827 --> 00:36:41,107 Speaker 15: win it off us. I think it's the only sporting 749 00:36:42,787 --> 00:36:45,267 Speaker 15: I think it's the only sporting trophy we hold between 750 00:36:45,347 --> 00:36:48,107 Speaker 15: New Zealand and Australia. That's with any significance, doesn't it. 751 00:36:48,947 --> 00:36:51,547 Speaker 2: So a three match series they'd have to win three 752 00:36:51,627 --> 00:36:58,347 Speaker 2: nilwise right to me, Love of Mark good Man and 753 00:36:58,387 --> 00:37:01,267 Speaker 2: enjoy the game tonight, make good thoughts as always from you. 754 00:37:01,947 --> 00:37:04,867 Speaker 2: I've just got an email here from Craig who was 755 00:37:04,907 --> 00:37:10,387 Speaker 2: the one who suggested that the the Aussie jersey was orange, 756 00:37:10,427 --> 00:37:13,587 Speaker 2: and he's actually attached Craig, this is very good. He's 757 00:37:13,627 --> 00:37:17,067 Speaker 2: attached a picture of the Australian rugby jersey and a 758 00:37:17,187 --> 00:37:20,787 Speaker 2: picture of an orange And I must say, Craig, you're 759 00:37:20,867 --> 00:37:25,067 Speaker 2: not that far wrong. They're not too dissimilar. Craig says, 760 00:37:25,067 --> 00:37:28,667 Speaker 2: I was a Eden Park two, so no TV adjustment needed. 761 00:37:29,707 --> 00:37:33,947 Speaker 2: The Australian rugby jersey is orange, Craig, brilliant, mate. I 762 00:37:33,987 --> 00:37:37,387 Speaker 2: love that you've sourced a picture of an orange to 763 00:37:37,547 --> 00:37:39,347 Speaker 2: prove your point to me. On email, Rob, you've got 764 00:37:39,347 --> 00:37:40,547 Speaker 2: your radio Dan, how are you mate? 765 00:37:41,347 --> 00:37:43,947 Speaker 12: Yes, hey, hey Jason, good to talk to you, and 766 00:37:44,067 --> 00:37:47,987 Speaker 12: you're just listening to the last call of Mark. I 767 00:37:48,067 --> 00:37:50,307 Speaker 12: think one of the issues we're finding now is our 768 00:37:51,147 --> 00:37:55,387 Speaker 12: pool of players. We're limited on they not only the quality, 769 00:37:56,067 --> 00:38:00,707 Speaker 12: but no local teacher the jersey now the players because 770 00:38:00,707 --> 00:38:02,707 Speaker 12: I think we've got a smaller pool. They go off sure, 771 00:38:03,467 --> 00:38:06,027 Speaker 12: and so they try and get them back during the 772 00:38:06,707 --> 00:38:09,747 Speaker 12: Super fifteen or when the or decks are playing a test. 773 00:38:10,427 --> 00:38:13,347 Speaker 12: You know, that gets dangled in front of them. So 774 00:38:14,547 --> 00:38:17,267 Speaker 12: it's their livelihood. So I think that's had a big 775 00:38:17,347 --> 00:38:20,987 Speaker 12: impact on our player base and they'll continue to hell 776 00:38:21,147 --> 00:38:21,587 Speaker 12: to happen. 777 00:38:22,227 --> 00:38:25,227 Speaker 2: So just Rob, just clarify that. So the fact that 778 00:38:25,387 --> 00:38:29,147 Speaker 2: more players are getting big money off as overseas is 779 00:38:29,827 --> 00:38:30,987 Speaker 2: shallowing our depth poll. 780 00:38:31,067 --> 00:38:33,707 Speaker 12: In other words, well, well I'll give you an example. 781 00:38:33,827 --> 00:38:36,867 Speaker 12: Just happened in that provincial level so since Super fifteen started, 782 00:38:37,027 --> 00:38:40,027 Speaker 12: I'm from Hawks Bay, we can't even you know, when 783 00:38:40,067 --> 00:38:42,987 Speaker 12: I was playing back in the eighties, you could go 784 00:38:43,107 --> 00:38:48,027 Speaker 12: from club team to provincial rugby. Now you can't even 785 00:38:48,027 --> 00:38:51,507 Speaker 12: get into the provincial team because it's already been taken 786 00:38:51,587 --> 00:38:55,147 Speaker 12: up by Super fifteen players. They've been playing outside the province. 787 00:38:56,187 --> 00:38:59,307 Speaker 12: So then the player base then impacts on those plays. Well, 788 00:38:59,467 --> 00:39:02,267 Speaker 12: I'll just go sell, I'll go to seas and so, 789 00:39:02,747 --> 00:39:06,067 Speaker 12: in my opinion, you start limiting the amount of opportunities 790 00:39:06,587 --> 00:39:09,787 Speaker 12: and you get the likes of let's look at John 791 00:39:09,867 --> 00:39:13,707 Speaker 12: Cowan who's never identified to he left school. There's others 792 00:39:13,867 --> 00:39:16,827 Speaker 12: like that that leave score early because they've picked early 793 00:39:16,947 --> 00:39:22,027 Speaker 12: in in academy. You miss the wider pool of capable players. 794 00:39:23,387 --> 00:39:25,947 Speaker 2: So what they're going to play? Sorry, Rob, What does 795 00:39:25,987 --> 00:39:28,107 Speaker 2: a player then do who's not in the All Blacks 796 00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:31,347 Speaker 2: but as a super rugby player, what do they do? 797 00:39:32,467 --> 00:39:34,947 Speaker 2: You know, from August through to October. 798 00:39:36,307 --> 00:39:38,187 Speaker 12: They need to feed their family, they need to put 799 00:39:38,227 --> 00:39:39,987 Speaker 12: a roof over their head, so they go off to 800 00:39:40,027 --> 00:39:43,587 Speaker 12: the States. They'll play second, They'll play a competition over there. 801 00:39:43,907 --> 00:39:48,347 Speaker 12: That's that gives them a contract that is enough for 802 00:39:48,467 --> 00:39:51,347 Speaker 12: them to survive on to go to the French League 803 00:39:51,387 --> 00:39:52,507 Speaker 12: to play in the third division. 804 00:39:52,547 --> 00:39:53,227 Speaker 8: They go to Spain. 805 00:39:54,027 --> 00:39:57,267 Speaker 12: Don't just be goad prodding players and then come back 806 00:39:58,187 --> 00:39:59,147 Speaker 12: come back to their province. 807 00:40:01,067 --> 00:40:03,107 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd want to stay here. I don't think i'd 808 00:40:03,147 --> 00:40:04,627 Speaker 2: want to do that. I'd want if I was getting 809 00:40:04,667 --> 00:40:07,907 Speaker 2: paid here, i'd want to s I want to stay here. 810 00:40:07,947 --> 00:40:10,107 Speaker 2: You can understand why they do. I know what you're saying, 811 00:40:10,147 --> 00:40:12,587 Speaker 2: and you're right. If there's if a guy, if a 812 00:40:12,627 --> 00:40:14,667 Speaker 2: guy who's come out of club rugby sees a path 813 00:40:14,747 --> 00:40:18,067 Speaker 2: blocked into the provincial team, then that's that is demoralizing 814 00:40:18,107 --> 00:40:19,707 Speaker 2: for that player. But I just don't know whether you 815 00:40:19,747 --> 00:40:22,467 Speaker 2: can ask super rugby players to foe go n PC 816 00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:24,587 Speaker 2: just to continue to build that base. 817 00:40:25,747 --> 00:40:28,947 Speaker 12: Yes, no, no, I understand that. And then I look 818 00:40:28,987 --> 00:40:32,427 Speaker 12: at now, I guess the recent South African tool we've had, 819 00:40:33,067 --> 00:40:37,907 Speaker 12: you know a lot of them play in the European season, 820 00:40:38,627 --> 00:40:41,667 Speaker 12: and so the use that brutality, I guess, and that 821 00:40:41,867 --> 00:40:44,387 Speaker 12: high level of roby. And I think since Tony Brown 822 00:40:44,827 --> 00:40:46,587 Speaker 12: has been with the South African team, you can see 823 00:40:46,627 --> 00:40:48,627 Speaker 12: the change and particularly the back line. 824 00:40:49,107 --> 00:40:50,867 Speaker 2: Yeah you can, Rob, I've got to go, mate and 825 00:40:50,907 --> 00:40:52,787 Speaker 2: get to a break, but you've made some really sullying points. 826 00:40:52,787 --> 00:40:54,867 Speaker 2: Thanks for calling in seven to one News Talk ZB. 827 00:40:55,747 --> 00:41:00,707 Speaker 1: Breaking down the Hail Mary's and the epic fail.

After one, we're going to 835 00:41:17,907 --> 00:41:20,427 Speaker 2: try and get some clarity if we can around this 836 00:41:20,627 --> 00:41:22,867 Speaker 2: nep on New Zealand Dame Noling situation. 837 00:41:24,267 --> 00:41:28,427 Speaker 1: The only plays for the big names, the big issues, 838 00:41:29,227 --> 00:41:34,107 Speaker 1: the big controversies and the big conversations. It's all on 839 00:41:34,267 --> 00:41:38,027 Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason Pin on your home of Sport 840 00:41:38,507 --> 00:41:39,347 Speaker 1: News Talks EDB. 841 00:41:41,147 --> 00:41:42,787 Speaker 2: Welcome in or welcome back to the show. This is 842 00:41:42,827 --> 00:41:45,027 Speaker 2: Weekend Sport on News Talks. There be on Jason Pine 843 00:41:45,747 --> 00:41:48,507 Speaker 2: just updating some live sport for you. The New Zealand 844 00:41:48,587 --> 00:41:50,747 Speaker 2: under twenty football team are playing their third and final 845 00:41:50,787 --> 00:41:52,707 Speaker 2: pull match at the Under twenty World Cup in Chile. 846 00:41:52,827 --> 00:41:54,907 Speaker 2: Up against Japan. They're one nil down early in the 847 00:41:54,987 --> 00:42:00,867 Speaker 2: second half. Now, while defeat would not end their tournament absolutely, 848 00:42:01,627 --> 00:42:03,827 Speaker 2: they would wait on other results. The way this works, 849 00:42:03,867 --> 00:42:07,107 Speaker 2: there are six groups of four, so the top two 850 00:42:07,147 --> 00:42:09,507 Speaker 2: from each group go through to the knockout rounds and 851 00:42:09,667 --> 00:42:13,507 Speaker 2: then the four best third place teams. Now, if New 852 00:42:13,587 --> 00:42:16,427 Speaker 2: Zealam had to lose, they would have three points and 853 00:42:16,547 --> 00:42:20,267 Speaker 2: finish third in the group. That may be enough, but 854 00:42:20,387 --> 00:42:23,707 Speaker 2: it would depend on other results. We wouldn't know till tomorrow, 855 00:42:23,747 --> 00:42:26,107 Speaker 2: I think late tomorrow whether they'd made it through. So 856 00:42:26,827 --> 00:42:29,667 Speaker 2: if they were to draw, that would secure their passage 857 00:42:29,707 --> 00:42:31,787 Speaker 2: through and if they would win obviously what as well. 858 00:42:31,787 --> 00:42:33,587 Speaker 2: They're one nail down to Japan, who are one of 859 00:42:33,587 --> 00:42:37,547 Speaker 2: the best teams at this tournament. They've scored five goals 860 00:42:37,587 --> 00:42:40,827 Speaker 2: now without conceding and have been very good at age 861 00:42:40,827 --> 00:42:43,707 Speaker 2: group level for a while Japan. So look, we'll keep 862 00:42:43,747 --> 00:42:45,187 Speaker 2: eyes on it early in the second half. As I say, 863 00:42:45,267 --> 00:42:47,907 Speaker 2: Japan wonder ahead of New Zealand. The far of Palmer 864 00:42:47,947 --> 00:42:50,347 Speaker 2: Cup Final about to begin too. This one is at 865 00:42:50,467 --> 00:42:53,587 Speaker 2: FMG Stadium, Wake Up Tall in Hamilton. It's the home 866 00:42:53,667 --> 00:42:56,507 Speaker 2: side wayk Cutta up against Canterbury. Why Cat. It would 867 00:42:56,507 --> 00:42:59,907 Speaker 2: be favorites, I'm sure and this one, but not overwhelming favorites. 868 00:43:00,187 --> 00:43:01,747 Speaker 2: We'll keep eyes on that for you, and just a 869 00:43:01,787 --> 00:43:03,667 Speaker 2: reminder as well. Then in about an hour from now, 870 00:43:04,227 --> 00:43:07,787 Speaker 2: Sean Marks is on the show Our greatest ever basketball 871 00:43:07,867 --> 00:43:12,187 Speaker 2: players and now one of our foremost sporting administrators in 872 00:43:12,227 --> 00:43:14,427 Speaker 2: any sport around the world. He's the general manager of 873 00:43:15,307 --> 00:43:17,867 Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA. They're about to get 874 00:43:17,907 --> 00:43:20,787 Speaker 2: underway in their new season. So talked to Sean Marks 875 00:43:20,827 --> 00:43:22,947 Speaker 2: about that, about dealing with some of the highest profile 876 00:43:23,027 --> 00:43:25,627 Speaker 2: sportspeople on the planet and what he remembers of his 877 00:43:25,747 --> 00:43:28,027 Speaker 2: days playing in that wonderful Tour Blacks team that went 878 00:43:28,107 --> 00:43:32,747 Speaker 2: to the semi finals of Theball the Nepball the Basketball 879 00:43:32,787 --> 00:43:35,667 Speaker 2: World Championships in two thousand and two. Niitball's on my 880 00:43:35,787 --> 00:43:39,107 Speaker 2: mind because there's still no clarity and the ongoing saga 881 00:43:39,587 --> 00:43:44,147 Speaker 2: of the Silver Ferns and coach Dame Nolen Toda. Despite 882 00:43:44,307 --> 00:43:46,907 Speaker 2: days of mediation between the World Cup winning coach and 883 00:43:47,027 --> 00:43:50,827 Speaker 2: Netball New Zealand, there's still no decision over whether she'll 884 00:43:50,907 --> 00:43:54,627 Speaker 2: be reinstated. You'll remember, of course, Dame Nolen was stood 885 00:43:54,707 --> 00:43:57,787 Speaker 2: down as coach. That happened on the tenth of September 886 00:43:58,427 --> 00:44:01,107 Speaker 2: with nepball New Zealand's citing issues in the team's high 887 00:44:01,147 --> 00:44:04,227 Speaker 2: performance environment. That left New Zealand to play South Africa 888 00:44:04,307 --> 00:44:08,147 Speaker 2: in the Tiny Jamison Series under interim coaches Avett McCausland, 889 00:44:08,227 --> 00:44:10,707 Speaker 2: Jury and Leanna Liota. They did a good job. New 890 00:44:10,787 --> 00:44:14,227 Speaker 2: Zealand won that series three nil. Now though they have 891 00:44:14,307 --> 00:44:17,867 Speaker 2: a much tougher assignment looming, The Silver Ferns are due 892 00:44:17,907 --> 00:44:20,787 Speaker 2: to go into camp on Monday to prepare for the 893 00:44:20,907 --> 00:44:25,347 Speaker 2: four test Constellation Cup series against Australia. The first game 894 00:44:25,507 --> 00:44:29,867 Speaker 2: in that four test series is in Melbourne on Friday week, 895 00:44:29,987 --> 00:44:33,707 Speaker 2: so it is less than two weeks away. Let's get 896 00:44:33,707 --> 00:44:37,267 Speaker 2: you some insight into the mediation process that is playing 897 00:44:37,307 --> 00:44:41,187 Speaker 2: out here. Anthony Drake is partner at leading law firm 898 00:44:41,467 --> 00:44:45,307 Speaker 2: Taverndale and Partners. He has more than twenty five years 899 00:44:45,347 --> 00:44:50,267 Speaker 2: specialist experience in employment law and is a nationally recognized 900 00:44:50,387 --> 00:44:54,147 Speaker 2: expert in employment related issues and disputes. Anthony, thanks for 901 00:44:54,227 --> 00:44:55,987 Speaker 2: joining us to try and give us some insight here. 902 00:44:56,067 --> 00:44:58,667 Speaker 2: This seems to have taken a long time. Is that 903 00:44:58,907 --> 00:45:01,387 Speaker 2: normal in employment disputes? 904 00:45:02,947 --> 00:45:07,347 Speaker 16: Well, there's a process that the part need to go through, 905 00:45:08,027 --> 00:45:13,067 Speaker 16: of course, and clearly in this case there's a lot 906 00:45:13,147 --> 00:45:17,467 Speaker 16: more to be discussed, but at this point we actually 907 00:45:17,507 --> 00:45:22,107 Speaker 16: don't know what the issues are and I guess it's 908 00:45:22,147 --> 00:45:25,947 Speaker 16: not terribly helpful to speculate. Would be rather more helpful 909 00:45:25,987 --> 00:45:29,907 Speaker 16: of Netball New Zealand told us what the concerns are 910 00:45:30,107 --> 00:45:32,707 Speaker 16: and whether they can be worked through. 911 00:45:33,907 --> 00:45:35,907 Speaker 2: So it's your view then that they should have been 912 00:45:35,947 --> 00:45:38,627 Speaker 2: a bit more transparent and said, Okay, here are the 913 00:45:38,707 --> 00:45:42,547 Speaker 2: issues ABC, here's what we're working through. They're not duty 914 00:45:42,587 --> 00:45:44,267 Speaker 2: bound to do that, of course, but you think that 915 00:45:44,347 --> 00:45:46,307 Speaker 2: would have been helpful in this case. 916 00:45:48,067 --> 00:45:53,947 Speaker 16: I think we're talking about a national team, and it's 917 00:45:53,987 --> 00:45:59,627 Speaker 16: a little different in these situations where you've got parties 918 00:45:59,707 --> 00:46:03,867 Speaker 16: that are in the public eye. Whilst there's a lot 919 00:46:03,867 --> 00:46:07,467 Speaker 16: of similarities with the corporate world, is slightly difference. Is 920 00:46:07,467 --> 00:46:12,667 Speaker 16: a high performance environment. Both employees are both Dame Nolen 921 00:46:12,827 --> 00:46:15,987 Speaker 16: and the players and the public eye, and this matter 922 00:46:15,987 --> 00:46:20,147 Speaker 16: has gone on for quite some time now, so it 923 00:46:20,187 --> 00:46:22,907 Speaker 16: would be helpful to have some insight as to what 924 00:46:23,027 --> 00:46:23,907 Speaker 16: those concerns are. 925 00:46:24,667 --> 00:46:28,267 Speaker 2: The longer the discussions go on, is a resolution, in 926 00:46:28,347 --> 00:46:34,267 Speaker 2: your experience less likely or more likely with a lengthy process. 927 00:46:36,267 --> 00:46:38,187 Speaker 16: Well, as I sort of saying that there's a process 928 00:46:38,267 --> 00:46:41,187 Speaker 16: to work through, and clearly it's taking its time, and 929 00:46:42,587 --> 00:46:46,027 Speaker 16: it's just an indication of how difficult the situation has become. 930 00:46:46,947 --> 00:46:51,387 Speaker 16: Whether it's resolvable now, you know, I can't really speculate 931 00:46:51,467 --> 00:46:55,267 Speaker 16: on that. Hopefully it can be resolved to everybody's satisfaction. 932 00:46:55,987 --> 00:47:00,027 Speaker 2: How do you keep emotion out of employment disputes and 933 00:47:00,227 --> 00:47:02,427 Speaker 2: keep the discussions fact based? 934 00:47:04,587 --> 00:47:07,027 Speaker 16: Well, I don't think you can. I don't think you 935 00:47:07,107 --> 00:47:09,467 Speaker 16: can keep emotions out. And as I sort of said, 936 00:47:09,507 --> 00:47:13,947 Speaker 16: this involves a game that's both the coach, the players, 937 00:47:14,267 --> 00:47:20,627 Speaker 16: the public love, and it's incredibly difficult. There are no 938 00:47:20,787 --> 00:47:23,747 Speaker 16: facts for which anybody can respond to at the moment. 939 00:47:24,507 --> 00:47:28,307 Speaker 16: But you know that I don't just honestly don't think 940 00:47:28,467 --> 00:47:30,827 Speaker 16: we can keep those emotions. 941 00:47:30,427 --> 00:47:30,787 Speaker 8: Out of this. 942 00:47:31,787 --> 00:47:34,027 Speaker 2: So what's the best way to navigate it? Then, Anthony, 943 00:47:34,107 --> 00:47:36,507 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've said in on mediations where emotions are 944 00:47:36,547 --> 00:47:40,907 Speaker 2: running high in an employment dispute, how do you how 945 00:47:40,947 --> 00:47:43,667 Speaker 2: do you take the take the fizz out of situations 946 00:47:43,747 --> 00:47:45,707 Speaker 2: like that's what's the best way of doing that? 947 00:47:47,707 --> 00:47:50,547 Speaker 16: Generally a very calm approach to these sort of issues. 948 00:47:51,027 --> 00:47:55,267 Speaker 16: There's obviously a lot to talk about, and what we 949 00:47:55,387 --> 00:48:01,187 Speaker 16: have learned so far is there are different views from 950 00:48:01,267 --> 00:48:04,947 Speaker 16: the media. Karen Burgers sort of said, well, everybody has 951 00:48:05,387 --> 00:48:10,427 Speaker 16: a different experience. We saw Grace Wecki speak on Saturday Night. Well, 952 00:48:10,547 --> 00:48:13,427 Speaker 16: she has a different experience to some of the others. 953 00:48:13,507 --> 00:48:18,667 Speaker 16: So these are complicated issues to navigate. 954 00:48:20,067 --> 00:48:24,187 Speaker 2: In the situation, the organization Netborn New Zealand appoints the coach. 955 00:48:24,867 --> 00:48:27,507 Speaker 2: The coach is in charge of selecting the players, but 956 00:48:28,267 --> 00:48:32,627 Speaker 2: presumably the players are also employees of Netball New Zealand. 957 00:48:32,827 --> 00:48:34,707 Speaker 2: I guess a lot of people are asking Anthony, why 958 00:48:34,747 --> 00:48:37,347 Speaker 2: wouldn't Netball New Zealand just back their coach. She's the 959 00:48:37,427 --> 00:48:40,667 Speaker 2: one who they've appointed to run the high performance program. 960 00:48:42,747 --> 00:48:44,827 Speaker 7: Well, you're quite. 961 00:48:44,707 --> 00:48:49,707 Speaker 16: Right, Jason dan Noley is an employee. The players are 962 00:48:49,827 --> 00:48:53,827 Speaker 16: employees and net new Netball New Zealand has an obligation 963 00:48:54,027 --> 00:48:57,227 Speaker 16: to resolve the problem, whatever that problem is, and it 964 00:48:57,387 --> 00:49:00,107 Speaker 16: needs to do that in an active and constructive way 965 00:49:00,187 --> 00:49:04,787 Speaker 16: so it can maintain those relationships. So, whether that's to 966 00:49:04,907 --> 00:49:09,147 Speaker 16: back the coach, whether it's active players, they've got duties 967 00:49:09,187 --> 00:49:11,267 Speaker 16: to both sides here to try and resolve it. 968 00:49:12,587 --> 00:49:15,107 Speaker 2: In a situation like this. Let's talk hypothetical here. Let's 969 00:49:15,107 --> 00:49:18,147 Speaker 2: say hypothetically, you know, one possible outcome here is that 970 00:49:18,227 --> 00:49:21,467 Speaker 2: Dave Nolene is exonerated and she's back as as head 971 00:49:21,507 --> 00:49:25,107 Speaker 2: coach of the Silver Ferns. Isn't that still an awkward 972 00:49:25,227 --> 00:49:28,947 Speaker 2: situation to navigate with her knowing that there are you know, 973 00:49:29,147 --> 00:49:32,907 Speaker 2: potentially members of the team who didn't want her to 974 00:49:32,987 --> 00:49:33,467 Speaker 2: be coached. 975 00:49:34,747 --> 00:49:39,427 Speaker 16: Oh, there's an enormous problem here. It's disruptive to the environment, 976 00:49:40,147 --> 00:49:42,907 Speaker 16: it's disruptive to the culture of the team. So there's 977 00:49:42,947 --> 00:49:45,587 Speaker 16: an enormous amount of work to be done. So they 978 00:49:45,707 --> 00:49:48,307 Speaker 16: both have all common goals going forward. 979 00:49:49,867 --> 00:49:52,387 Speaker 2: How common is finding a solution in situations like that 980 00:49:52,467 --> 00:49:56,827 Speaker 2: that allows parties who have been in dispute to continue 981 00:49:56,907 --> 00:49:59,827 Speaker 2: working together and working harmoniously together. 982 00:50:02,267 --> 00:50:05,987 Speaker 16: In my experience, it's incredibly difficult and rare. 983 00:50:08,267 --> 00:50:08,467 Speaker 8: Wow. 984 00:50:08,827 --> 00:50:13,787 Speaker 2: Okay, So I mean, I know we can't talk specifics here, Anthony, 985 00:50:13,867 --> 00:50:15,147 Speaker 2: but I mean, what's your what? 986 00:50:15,587 --> 00:50:15,627 Speaker 17: What? 987 00:50:16,427 --> 00:50:18,427 Speaker 2: What should we think about all this? Should we expect 988 00:50:18,507 --> 00:50:20,627 Speaker 2: Dane Noline to come back, should we expect there'll be 989 00:50:20,707 --> 00:50:21,627 Speaker 2: some clunkiness here? 990 00:50:21,907 --> 00:50:21,947 Speaker 3: What? 991 00:50:22,107 --> 00:50:22,147 Speaker 8: What? 992 00:50:22,347 --> 00:50:24,347 Speaker 2: What is your best guess as to what's going to 993 00:50:24,387 --> 00:50:24,707 Speaker 2: play out? 994 00:50:24,747 --> 00:50:24,867 Speaker 3: Here. 995 00:50:26,987 --> 00:50:28,867 Speaker 16: I don't think it's helpful for me to speculate on 996 00:50:29,227 --> 00:50:33,307 Speaker 16: there that there's obviously discussions are ongoing between the cardis, 997 00:50:33,387 --> 00:50:38,187 Speaker 16: so it's very difficult to say. 998 00:50:40,387 --> 00:50:42,187 Speaker 2: And and this could still drag on for a bit. 999 00:50:42,227 --> 00:50:43,907 Speaker 2: I mean, we've got a we've got a format series 1000 00:50:43,947 --> 00:50:46,427 Speaker 2: coming up in less than two weeks. It doesn't feel 1001 00:50:46,467 --> 00:50:47,787 Speaker 2: as though this is going to be resolved. We're here 1002 00:50:47,787 --> 00:50:50,027 Speaker 2: at the weekend and so clearly I guess they take 1003 00:50:50,027 --> 00:50:51,867 Speaker 2: a break over the weekend, they start again on Monday. 1004 00:50:51,867 --> 00:50:55,107 Speaker 2: The team's meant to be selected on Monday, So you know, 1005 00:50:55,507 --> 00:50:57,627 Speaker 2: can these things drag on? Could this drag on for 1006 00:50:57,907 --> 00:50:59,587 Speaker 2: for more days, for for weeks? 1007 00:50:59,627 --> 00:51:08,307 Speaker 16: Even yes, my experience may sometimes do regrettably there's no 1008 00:51:08,787 --> 00:51:09,747 Speaker 16: easy solution here. 1009 00:51:12,067 --> 00:51:16,547 Speaker 2: Well, it's something that continues to I guess hog the 1010 00:51:16,587 --> 00:51:18,627 Speaker 2: headlines when really all we want to be doing is 1011 00:51:18,667 --> 00:51:22,147 Speaker 2: netwall fans is watching the Silver Ferns play Australia Anthony. 1012 00:51:22,227 --> 00:51:24,067 Speaker 2: Anything else to add that might have a bit of 1013 00:51:24,187 --> 00:51:26,147 Speaker 2: context or a bit of clarity to our listeners as 1014 00:51:26,187 --> 00:51:28,667 Speaker 2: we search for some shred of hope here. 1015 00:51:30,147 --> 00:51:31,947 Speaker 16: Well, as I sort of said, I think it might 1016 00:51:32,027 --> 00:51:35,147 Speaker 16: be helpful for netball new Zealand to come out and 1017 00:51:35,187 --> 00:51:37,547 Speaker 16: say what the concerns are and whether they think that 1018 00:51:37,627 --> 00:51:38,547 Speaker 16: they can be worked through. 1019 00:51:39,867 --> 00:51:41,627 Speaker 2: Well, we've asked them a number of times. They don't 1020 00:51:41,667 --> 00:51:45,107 Speaker 2: seem particularly keen on doing that. Anthony, thank you for 1021 00:51:45,227 --> 00:51:47,347 Speaker 2: your time and expertise this afternoon. I guess we just 1022 00:51:47,427 --> 00:51:50,147 Speaker 2: wait and see what plays out here. Appreciate you lending 1023 00:51:50,187 --> 00:51:51,507 Speaker 2: us your expertise today. 1024 00:51:52,467 --> 00:51:53,507 Speaker 7: And good luck to the team. 1025 00:51:53,627 --> 00:51:56,187 Speaker 2: Yep, good luck, good luck to the team. Indeed, Anthony, 1026 00:51:56,267 --> 00:51:58,107 Speaker 2: in more ways than one, thank you for joining us. 1027 00:51:58,107 --> 00:52:01,667 Speaker 2: Anthony Drake, partner at leading law firm Taverndale and Partners, 1028 00:52:01,747 --> 00:52:07,467 Speaker 2: with twenty five years plus of specialist experience in ployment law. 1029 00:52:07,707 --> 00:52:10,067 Speaker 2: Your chance to react to what you heard there. Our 1030 00:52:10,107 --> 00:52:13,587 Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is our number. The 1031 00:52:13,627 --> 00:52:17,667 Speaker 2: bit that stood out for me there was Anthony saying 1032 00:52:17,707 --> 00:52:19,867 Speaker 2: that he thought Netborn, New Zealand should have told us more, 1033 00:52:20,587 --> 00:52:22,867 Speaker 2: should have been more transparent, should it be more open. Look, 1034 00:52:22,907 --> 00:52:26,107 Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more with that, but I didn't expect 1035 00:52:26,907 --> 00:52:29,827 Speaker 2: him to say that. I thought what he would say 1036 00:52:29,867 --> 00:52:32,747 Speaker 2: from a legal perspective was that employment matters should be 1037 00:52:32,827 --> 00:52:37,387 Speaker 2: kept confidential and should be played out. You know, privately. 1038 00:52:38,347 --> 00:52:40,547 Speaker 2: So I was pleasantly surprised to hear him say that, 1039 00:52:40,667 --> 00:52:46,587 Speaker 2: because I could not agree more. The silence from Netburn, 1040 00:52:46,627 --> 00:52:51,147 Speaker 2: New Zealand through this whole thing has been deafening. It's 1041 00:52:51,187 --> 00:52:53,627 Speaker 2: become a shambles, hasn't it? When ore in a situation 1042 00:52:53,747 --> 00:52:58,027 Speaker 2: where time is against us. The fact is now what 1043 00:52:58,347 --> 00:53:01,747 Speaker 2: Today's the fourth of October. The first game in the 1044 00:53:01,787 --> 00:53:06,107 Speaker 2: Constellation Cup series is on the seventeenth of October, less 1045 00:53:06,107 --> 00:53:10,587 Speaker 2: than two weeks away. The team is getting together or 1046 00:53:10,707 --> 00:53:14,787 Speaker 2: supposedly getting together on Monday. Dame noling Toto, I can't 1047 00:53:14,827 --> 00:53:17,427 Speaker 2: come back in time for the Constellation Cup. There isn't 1048 00:53:17,547 --> 00:53:22,507 Speaker 2: enough time. Who's even running that camp on Monday, who's 1049 00:53:22,547 --> 00:53:25,427 Speaker 2: even looking after the team, who's picking the team, who's 1050 00:53:25,467 --> 00:53:29,107 Speaker 2: coaching the team. It's clear to me that Dave nolen 1051 00:53:29,187 --> 00:53:31,387 Speaker 2: Toto won't be in charge for the Constellation Cup now 1052 00:53:31,467 --> 00:53:34,907 Speaker 2: that the last chance of that was this getting resolved 1053 00:53:34,987 --> 00:53:37,267 Speaker 2: in the week we've just had. They're not meeting by 1054 00:53:37,307 --> 00:53:39,627 Speaker 2: the sounds of it, over the weekend. They'll get back 1055 00:53:39,627 --> 00:53:43,867 Speaker 2: together on Monday and continue to thrash this out. But 1056 00:53:44,027 --> 00:53:47,587 Speaker 2: she can't possibly now come back in if she does 1057 00:53:48,187 --> 00:53:50,907 Speaker 2: at some point The other bit that stood out from 1058 00:53:50,907 --> 00:53:53,507 Speaker 2: Anthony then was him saying that even if she was 1059 00:53:54,027 --> 00:53:59,747 Speaker 2: exonerated and comes back in in his experience, when complaints 1060 00:53:59,867 --> 00:54:02,947 Speaker 2: like this happen typically in Anthony's experience in the in 1061 00:54:03,067 --> 00:54:05,547 Speaker 2: the corporate world and the you know in a workplace 1062 00:54:06,387 --> 00:54:11,227 Speaker 2: that when there's a dispute like this and the person 1063 00:54:11,307 --> 00:54:14,187 Speaker 2: with the power, the coach, the manager, whatever is found 1064 00:54:14,267 --> 00:54:17,067 Speaker 2: to not be at fault, they come back in. It 1065 00:54:17,187 --> 00:54:20,827 Speaker 2: is incredibly rare, difficult and rare for the parties involved, 1066 00:54:20,867 --> 00:54:23,427 Speaker 2: he said, for them to be able to carry on harmoniously. 1067 00:54:24,267 --> 00:54:26,667 Speaker 2: And we all know that we're all human beings. Well, 1068 00:54:26,667 --> 00:54:28,987 Speaker 2: we've all got common sense. Of course, it's going to 1069 00:54:28,987 --> 00:54:31,267 Speaker 2: be difficult. Dame Nolan, if she comes back, knows that 1070 00:54:31,307 --> 00:54:33,027 Speaker 2: there are players in that team who don't want her there. 1071 00:54:35,027 --> 00:54:38,547 Speaker 2: So if it's me, I just don't pick them. And 1072 00:54:38,747 --> 00:54:40,427 Speaker 2: is that fair on? I mean, what if some of 1073 00:54:40,467 --> 00:54:42,427 Speaker 2: our better players, we know Grace Wiki is in the 1074 00:54:42,507 --> 00:54:44,667 Speaker 2: Dame Nole in camp, we know Karen Berger's and the 1075 00:54:44,707 --> 00:54:49,587 Speaker 2: Dame Nole in camp. We're hearing stories now of players 1076 00:54:49,627 --> 00:54:54,987 Speaker 2: who initially signed the letter or voiced concerns now withdrawing 1077 00:54:55,027 --> 00:55:01,187 Speaker 2: those concerns this isn't utter shambles, are complete shambles. And 1078 00:55:01,227 --> 00:55:05,187 Speaker 2: then Constellation Kappas is the it's the you know, that's 1079 00:55:05,227 --> 00:55:08,787 Speaker 2: the the elite thing, that nipple that the Silver fans 1080 00:55:08,787 --> 00:55:11,667 Speaker 2: play every year. We've got the Constellation cup. I mean, 1081 00:55:11,787 --> 00:55:14,507 Speaker 2: good luck focusing the side on trying to retain it. 1082 00:55:16,867 --> 00:55:19,547 Speaker 2: One O eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty our number. 1083 00:55:19,627 --> 00:55:21,067 Speaker 2: Let's get some calls, Hello, Pat. 1084 00:55:22,147 --> 00:55:23,067 Speaker 11: Hello, Paley. 1085 00:55:23,947 --> 00:55:27,147 Speaker 9: I'd say to Dave and just leave and. 1086 00:55:29,427 --> 00:55:31,587 Speaker 8: Let them move go the on way players. So like 1087 00:55:31,667 --> 00:55:33,747 Speaker 8: you what So he's trying to coach a team like that? 1088 00:55:34,347 --> 00:55:36,227 Speaker 2: No, but they do not. They don't all not like her. 1089 00:55:36,307 --> 00:55:36,507 Speaker 8: Pet. 1090 00:55:36,587 --> 00:55:38,547 Speaker 2: This is this is, by the sounds of it, just 1091 00:55:38,627 --> 00:55:41,827 Speaker 2: a couple of players. Dameline cares deeply about the team, 1092 00:55:41,947 --> 00:55:42,987 Speaker 2: wants to be their coach. 1093 00:55:43,707 --> 00:55:45,467 Speaker 7: So why should she know. 1094 00:55:45,667 --> 00:55:47,227 Speaker 2: I know what you're saying, And a lot of people 1095 00:55:47,227 --> 00:55:49,347 Speaker 2: are saying the same thing. You know, many of us 1096 00:55:49,347 --> 00:55:51,547 Speaker 2: would just say, you know what, bug at this, I'll 1097 00:55:51,587 --> 00:55:52,387 Speaker 2: go and do something else. 1098 00:55:53,307 --> 00:55:56,107 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, so what you should do? 1099 00:55:57,307 --> 00:55:57,587 Speaker 18: All right? 1100 00:55:57,627 --> 00:55:57,867 Speaker 8: Pat? 1101 00:55:57,867 --> 00:56:00,547 Speaker 2: Well what she does? Yees, sir? Good on you mate, 1102 00:56:00,547 --> 00:56:02,667 Speaker 2: Thanks Pat, thanks for calling in. Look and I look, 1103 00:56:02,707 --> 00:56:06,787 Speaker 2: I think somebody else might well have said you know what, Yeah, 1104 00:56:07,107 --> 00:56:08,987 Speaker 2: I can't be bothered with this. If you don't want me, 1105 00:56:09,027 --> 00:56:11,787 Speaker 2: I'll go and do something else. There will be any 1106 00:56:11,907 --> 00:56:16,707 Speaker 2: number of netball franchises around the world or international teams 1107 00:56:17,067 --> 00:56:20,267 Speaker 2: who would welcome Dame Nolen and with open arms, with 1108 00:56:20,587 --> 00:56:24,067 Speaker 2: open arms, but she cares so deeply about the Silver 1109 00:56:24,147 --> 00:56:28,787 Speaker 2: Ferns and coaching that team that she is willing to 1110 00:56:28,907 --> 00:56:30,107 Speaker 2: fight for the right to do that. 1111 00:56:32,067 --> 00:56:37,467 Speaker 14: Ellison, Hello, it's the complete shambles and Dame Nolen. I 1112 00:56:37,547 --> 00:56:40,107 Speaker 14: can't see her coming back now, but I've taken but 1113 00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,507 Speaker 14: a credit to Grace is standing up and supporting her 1114 00:56:42,587 --> 00:56:44,667 Speaker 14: that day. If you're not coming back, I want to 1115 00:56:44,667 --> 00:56:47,867 Speaker 14: thank her for a service to the netball And there's 1116 00:56:47,907 --> 00:56:50,067 Speaker 14: seven players that don't like it. They're not going to 1117 00:56:50,147 --> 00:56:52,107 Speaker 14: name the seven players. You just got to work it 1118 00:56:52,147 --> 00:56:54,147 Speaker 14: out for yourself. Who's not playing there with who they are, 1119 00:56:54,747 --> 00:56:56,307 Speaker 14: and they're not prepared to come out and say what 1120 00:56:57,387 --> 00:56:59,587 Speaker 14: they've got against not Dame Noley. So you're not going 1121 00:56:59,667 --> 00:57:02,307 Speaker 14: to get anywhere from all this doing and throwing. Are 1122 00:57:02,387 --> 00:57:04,187 Speaker 14: un least those seven players come out and say what 1123 00:57:04,267 --> 00:57:04,907 Speaker 14: the reason is? 1124 00:57:05,907 --> 00:57:06,067 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1125 00:57:06,147 --> 00:57:09,587 Speaker 2: And I think you know, without naming them, I think Netborne, 1126 00:57:09,587 --> 00:57:12,267 Speaker 2: New Zealand could certainly give us some clarity saying, okay, 1127 00:57:12,627 --> 00:57:17,907 Speaker 2: here's the basis of the complaints that they were. Look, 1128 00:57:17,947 --> 00:57:19,827 Speaker 2: I don't even want to want to spitball about. 1129 00:57:19,627 --> 00:57:19,947 Speaker 6: What they are. 1130 00:57:20,387 --> 00:57:22,267 Speaker 14: You can work out who some of the players aren't 1131 00:57:22,267 --> 00:57:23,707 Speaker 14: but you see who the ones that aren't there, so 1132 00:57:23,787 --> 00:57:25,587 Speaker 14: I can sort of my own mind there's a few 1133 00:57:25,627 --> 00:57:27,587 Speaker 14: players there that should be there that are not there. 1134 00:57:27,667 --> 00:57:29,947 Speaker 14: So you put two and again and work out they 1135 00:57:29,987 --> 00:57:31,987 Speaker 14: could be the ones. But I mean, you shouldn't have 1136 00:57:32,027 --> 00:57:33,627 Speaker 14: to do that. I don't really care who they are, 1137 00:57:33,707 --> 00:57:35,387 Speaker 14: but one isn't one of those players come up now 1138 00:57:35,427 --> 00:57:36,547 Speaker 14: and say what the reasoning is? 1139 00:57:36,667 --> 00:57:37,507 Speaker 7: Can they not do that? 1140 00:57:38,187 --> 00:57:40,427 Speaker 2: Well, I suppose they could, Allison. There's nothing to stop them. 1141 00:57:40,787 --> 00:57:42,507 Speaker 2: I mean, if there's a player who's not involved in 1142 00:57:42,547 --> 00:57:44,547 Speaker 2: the silver Ferns at the moment, who was outside the 1143 00:57:44,587 --> 00:57:46,787 Speaker 2: playing group at the moment, there would be nothing at 1144 00:57:46,787 --> 00:57:50,427 Speaker 2: all to stop them from coming out and saying such 1145 00:57:50,467 --> 00:57:52,387 Speaker 2: and such a thing. You're right, see Allison. That's the 1146 00:57:52,427 --> 00:57:54,787 Speaker 2: other problem with this is that, yeah, you're right. You 1147 00:57:54,827 --> 00:57:56,267 Speaker 2: look at the team and you say, okay, well that 1148 00:57:56,387 --> 00:57:58,907 Speaker 2: player isn't there. That player isn't there she's not there. 1149 00:57:58,987 --> 00:58:01,227 Speaker 2: She's not there. So you put two and two together 1150 00:58:01,347 --> 00:58:03,667 Speaker 2: and maybe four is the answer. But maybe it's not. 1151 00:58:04,187 --> 00:58:07,827 Speaker 2: Maybe they're out for different reasons.

She's got one in Grace and 1183 00:59:43,867 --> 00:59:46,667 Speaker 5: Nowiki in pursuit of the other six. She held a 1184 00:59:46,707 --> 00:59:49,587 Speaker 5: training camp in January this year where apparently they got 1185 00:59:49,667 --> 00:59:51,147 Speaker 5: up before five o'clock in the morning. 1186 00:59:51,507 --> 00:59:52,467 Speaker 8: Players didn't like that. 1187 00:59:53,107 --> 00:59:55,947 Speaker 5: The janitor on one of the occasions of that training 1188 00:59:55,987 --> 00:59:57,427 Speaker 5: camp said, well, you guys are going to have to 1189 00:59:57,787 --> 00:59:59,627 Speaker 5: lock up and take and turn off the lights because 1190 00:59:59,627 --> 01:00:00,427 Speaker 5: it's too late for him. 1191 01:00:00,307 --> 01:00:00,947 Speaker 7: To wait around. 1192 01:00:01,387 --> 01:00:04,107 Speaker 5: So she pushed them hard in that summer training camp 1193 01:00:04,987 --> 01:00:08,427 Speaker 5: and clearly the camp the Silver Ferns are in two 1194 01:00:08,507 --> 01:00:11,547 Speaker 5: camps now the one who can tolerate her torrid almost 1195 01:00:12,667 --> 01:00:16,787 Speaker 5: Do I say brutal training methods and philosophies and others 1196 01:00:17,147 --> 01:00:22,307 Speaker 5: can't women's bitchiness, player power and inability to step up 1197 01:00:22,707 --> 01:00:25,547 Speaker 5: and fulfill what the coach is requesting in a high 1198 01:00:25,587 --> 01:00:29,947 Speaker 5: performance level, taxpayer funded high performance level. Look, they are 1199 01:00:30,067 --> 01:00:32,587 Speaker 5: extreme athletes and she's asked to do extreme things and 1200 01:00:32,947 --> 01:00:34,267 Speaker 5: more than half can't cope. 1201 01:00:34,307 --> 01:00:35,347 Speaker 8: Mate, And there's your problem. 1202 01:00:36,427 --> 01:00:38,507 Speaker 2: Surely that board New Zealand should back their coach then 1203 01:00:38,627 --> 01:00:41,107 Speaker 2: if that and I agree with what you say. She 1204 01:00:41,547 --> 01:00:45,307 Speaker 2: has been charged with selecting a team that can that 1205 01:00:45,507 --> 01:00:48,947 Speaker 2: can be successful at elite level. She does that through 1206 01:00:49,467 --> 01:00:51,787 Speaker 2: her methods, but she has been entrusted to do that 1207 01:00:51,947 --> 01:00:54,707 Speaker 2: because she's been appointed as Silver Fern's head coach. 1208 01:00:56,067 --> 01:00:57,547 Speaker 5: Do you remember on hockey coach? 1209 01:00:58,107 --> 01:00:58,267 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1210 01:00:58,307 --> 01:00:59,507 Speaker 7: No, I agree? Do you remember these? 1211 01:00:59,507 --> 01:01:02,347 Speaker 5: Head on hockey coach Mark Hagar was women to bitchiness 1212 01:01:02,387 --> 01:01:05,067 Speaker 5: after to run the Commonwealth Games gold Medal in Australia 1213 01:01:05,107 --> 01:01:07,827 Speaker 5: Gold Coast is in Australia, which is very hard to do, 1214 01:01:07,947 --> 01:01:10,547 Speaker 5: let alone in a major event, and he got driven 1215 01:01:10,627 --> 01:01:13,747 Speaker 5: out for what was it an email where instead of 1216 01:01:13,867 --> 01:01:17,147 Speaker 5: pushing one button to the whoever's he accountable the CEO, 1217 01:01:17,227 --> 01:01:19,907 Speaker 5: he hit send all and it was basically something some 1218 01:01:20,027 --> 01:01:22,347 Speaker 5: women are a bit overweight, not fit, we need to lift. 1219 01:01:22,427 --> 01:01:25,267 Speaker 5: They took offense and next minute he's no longer the coach. 1220 01:01:25,587 --> 01:01:30,387 Speaker 5: So you go if there's a similarity there. But I mean, 1221 01:01:30,467 --> 01:01:33,227 Speaker 5: Dame nol she's proven, she's won at the Australian level. 1222 01:01:33,267 --> 01:01:35,387 Speaker 5: She's the only New Zealand coach to win at Trans 1223 01:01:35,467 --> 01:01:38,027 Speaker 5: Tasman A and Z level with the magic what twenty 1224 01:01:38,107 --> 01:01:40,067 Speaker 5: twelve Northern New Zealand teams did it before they dan 1225 01:01:40,227 --> 01:01:45,107 Speaker 5: that comp I mean she is excellence personified And okay, 1226 01:01:45,467 --> 01:01:48,067 Speaker 5: maybe the compromises she's got a button off a little bit, 1227 01:01:48,147 --> 01:01:49,947 Speaker 5: but yeah, where's the transparency? 1228 01:01:50,107 --> 01:01:51,427 Speaker 2: TV and ZED news, you know. 1229 01:01:51,467 --> 01:01:52,627 Speaker 5: They do a fantastic job. 1230 01:01:52,947 --> 01:01:55,347 Speaker 19: Trump in an exclusive interview with Jenny. 1231 01:01:55,147 --> 01:01:59,187 Speaker 5: Wiley and failed to ask the question, why Jenny did 1232 01:01:59,267 --> 01:02:00,067 Speaker 5: you suspend her? 1233 01:02:00,267 --> 01:02:00,387 Speaker 3: Now? 1234 01:02:00,547 --> 01:02:03,987 Speaker 5: Was TV and Z gang because they're doing the national 1235 01:02:04,187 --> 01:02:07,147 Speaker 5: coverage of the domestic competition next year. They were told 1236 01:02:07,227 --> 01:02:11,027 Speaker 5: don't ask, and that's going to turn fast into NPC 1237 01:02:11,467 --> 01:02:13,667 Speaker 5: Rugby's equivalent of NPC because a lot of the girls 1238 01:02:13,707 --> 01:02:15,907 Speaker 5: will play in Australia because that's where the money is. 1239 01:02:16,467 --> 01:02:20,867 Speaker 5: We've seen one of our captains has retired because there's 1240 01:02:20,867 --> 01:02:24,187 Speaker 5: not enough money and she wants to be with her kids. Incredibly, 1241 01:02:24,267 --> 01:02:28,707 Speaker 5: the incumbent or the interim coach made Grace milWiki the captain, 1242 01:02:28,787 --> 01:02:32,827 Speaker 5: and the captain's now spoken, so it's untenable. I think 1243 01:02:32,907 --> 01:02:35,067 Speaker 5: Jenny Wiley has just fall on his sword. 1244 01:02:35,147 --> 01:02:35,907 Speaker 7: She says she won't. 1245 01:02:35,947 --> 01:02:38,107 Speaker 5: I mean, this is a mess, Piney, this is an art, 1246 01:02:38,147 --> 01:02:41,787 Speaker 5: a mess. Constellation cup flip Grace milWiki. Maybe she's the 1247 01:02:41,867 --> 01:02:45,227 Speaker 5: player coach or if they can't pick Knowles's coach, why 1248 01:02:45,227 --> 01:02:47,547 Speaker 5: don't they pick her at CEO because the off court problems, 1249 01:02:47,587 --> 01:02:49,067 Speaker 5: believe it or not, are bigger than the on court 1250 01:02:49,107 --> 01:02:50,187 Speaker 5: corp problems at the moment. 1251 01:02:51,027 --> 01:02:54,667 Speaker 2: Thanks for calling Dobbo well well articulated as usual from you. 1252 01:02:57,467 --> 01:02:59,747 Speaker 2: Just back to the point that I was making during 1253 01:02:59,787 --> 01:03:02,547 Speaker 2: that conversation. Is that and the point that Dobbo made 1254 01:03:02,667 --> 01:03:07,507 Speaker 2: that Dan Nolan was hired for a reason she was 1255 01:03:07,587 --> 01:03:10,427 Speaker 2: hired to come in and oversee a high performance environment 1256 01:03:11,267 --> 01:03:16,147 Speaker 2: to win burg netball games, to win World championships, to 1257 01:03:16,187 --> 01:03:19,147 Speaker 2: win Commonwealth games. And so when you do that, and 1258 01:03:19,267 --> 01:03:22,827 Speaker 2: not just a netball but in any sport when you're 1259 01:03:22,987 --> 01:03:27,107 Speaker 2: talking about high performance environments, you hire a coach and 1260 01:03:27,227 --> 01:03:30,267 Speaker 2: then you have to give them, you have to give 1261 01:03:30,347 --> 01:03:34,427 Speaker 2: them the latitude to do what they told you they 1262 01:03:34,467 --> 01:03:39,547 Speaker 2: were going to do during the recruitment process. Netball New 1263 01:03:39,627 --> 01:03:43,067 Speaker 2: Zealand should back their coach. I'm not saying that you 1264 01:03:43,227 --> 01:03:47,187 Speaker 2: can just ignore any complaint that comes your way. Absolutely not. 1265 01:03:48,027 --> 01:03:50,867 Speaker 2: It's not, you know, a means to an end situation 1266 01:03:51,027 --> 01:03:59,787 Speaker 2: where you just blinker yourself to unacceptable behavior. But Netball 1267 01:03:59,827 --> 01:04:02,827 Speaker 2: New Zealand need to back their coach in the situation. 1268 01:04:03,787 --> 01:04:07,787 Speaker 2: Absolutely need to back their coach. And a big part 1269 01:04:07,867 --> 01:04:12,747 Speaker 2: of me, says Dave Nolen, should pick the players who 1270 01:04:12,787 --> 01:04:16,027 Speaker 2: are happy to work in her environment. Neple New Zealand 1271 01:04:16,027 --> 01:04:20,627 Speaker 2: should say, look, we hear your concerns, you group of 1272 01:04:20,707 --> 01:04:25,187 Speaker 2: players or you individual players. We hear your concerns. We 1273 01:04:25,347 --> 01:04:27,667 Speaker 2: are confident though, that we are heading down the right 1274 01:04:27,747 --> 01:04:31,627 Speaker 2: track with our current coaching setup. So you can be 1275 01:04:31,827 --> 01:04:33,787 Speaker 2: part of that if you want to or if you 1276 01:04:33,787 --> 01:04:37,067 Speaker 2: would rather withdraw your services, that's fine. And you know 1277 01:04:37,147 --> 01:04:40,027 Speaker 2: what Dame Nolene is. She's famous for picking the players 1278 01:04:40,027 --> 01:04:44,187 Speaker 2: who she thinks will you carry out her game plan. 1279 01:04:44,667 --> 01:04:46,987 Speaker 2: And a lot of players have been not selected by 1280 01:04:47,107 --> 01:04:50,587 Speaker 2: Dave Nolen worked very hard and been re selected by them. 1281 01:04:50,827 --> 01:04:53,907 Speaker 2: She does not hold a grudge. She doesn't just not 1282 01:04:54,067 --> 01:04:56,587 Speaker 2: pick players because at one point they didn't quite meet 1283 01:04:56,627 --> 01:05:02,187 Speaker 2: the standards she was after. She cares so deeply about 1284 01:05:02,227 --> 01:05:04,907 Speaker 2: this team. That's the other thing that has become really 1285 01:05:04,987 --> 01:05:08,987 Speaker 2: obvious here. You know what, many of us will have 1286 01:05:09,027 --> 01:05:10,347 Speaker 2: just thrown our hands in there and said, you know what, 1287 01:05:11,747 --> 01:05:17,107 Speaker 2: I'll go and do something else. There's other jobs for 1288 01:05:17,227 --> 01:05:23,907 Speaker 2: me in a netball landscape. Text there from size simple 1289 01:05:23,947 --> 01:05:26,947 Speaker 2: answers to sack the players who complained they're not team players, 1290 01:05:26,987 --> 01:05:29,107 Speaker 2: won't go deep into the trenches for their teammates. Doesn't 1291 01:05:29,107 --> 01:05:30,587 Speaker 2: matter how good they are, they don't deserve to wear 1292 01:05:30,587 --> 01:05:34,747 Speaker 2: the silver fern. The people that allowed it to get 1293 01:05:34,827 --> 01:05:36,627 Speaker 2: this far and to be this much of a mess, 1294 01:05:36,667 --> 01:05:38,627 Speaker 2: and new Zella Netball should also be sacked, clearly, not 1295 01:05:38,707 --> 01:05:40,947 Speaker 2: management potential. That's the other part of this as well, 1296 01:05:41,067 --> 01:05:43,347 Speaker 2: is how long it's taken. Like I say, where they knew, 1297 01:05:43,867 --> 01:05:48,267 Speaker 2: they knew the schedule, they knew that there's a Constellation 1298 01:05:48,387 --> 01:05:54,787 Speaker 2: Cup series coming up. Janet, Hello, oh hi, it just 1299 01:05:54,947 --> 01:05:55,307 Speaker 2: may be. 1300 01:05:55,387 --> 01:06:00,987 Speaker 20: Covered because I just slotted in. The Thing that amazes 1301 01:06:01,147 --> 01:06:06,147 Speaker 20: me is once that the people who were concerned went 1302 01:06:06,507 --> 01:06:11,987 Speaker 20: management and voice their concern, why didn't they then go 1303 01:06:12,147 --> 01:06:16,307 Speaker 20: to Nolene and say we have got these problems, get 1304 01:06:16,387 --> 01:06:19,827 Speaker 20: them together and talk about it and find out what's so. 1305 01:06:20,347 --> 01:06:23,627 Speaker 20: But to leave Dan Nolen out of the whole question 1306 01:06:24,227 --> 01:06:29,107 Speaker 20: was Luis. I would imagine that she's probably got grounds 1307 01:06:29,187 --> 01:06:29,787 Speaker 20: to sue them. 1308 01:06:30,827 --> 01:06:33,507 Speaker 2: Jennet, it's a very good point if everybody could have 1309 01:06:33,587 --> 01:06:36,267 Speaker 2: just been an adult for a while. Look at well. 1310 01:06:36,707 --> 01:06:39,867 Speaker 2: There are disagreements. There are disagreements in everyday life all 1311 01:06:39,907 --> 01:06:42,387 Speaker 2: the time. I don't always agree with my family members. 1312 01:06:42,427 --> 01:06:44,867 Speaker 2: I don't always agree with my workmates, but you know 1313 01:06:45,027 --> 01:06:48,067 Speaker 2: I certainly don't. Well, I mean, the family's a different situation. 1314 01:06:48,147 --> 01:06:50,507 Speaker 2: But if if a workmate of mine or a manager 1315 01:06:50,547 --> 01:06:55,707 Speaker 2: of mine was annoying me, or I didn't feel he 1316 01:06:55,827 --> 01:06:57,667 Speaker 2: was treating me in a fair way, I wouldn't go 1317 01:06:57,747 --> 01:06:59,827 Speaker 2: to the CEO. I'd go to my manager and say, hey, 1318 01:06:59,867 --> 01:07:00,627 Speaker 2: can we knock this out? 1319 01:07:01,667 --> 01:07:05,507 Speaker 20: Absolutely? And I mean I'm assuming that these are professionals 1320 01:07:06,147 --> 01:07:09,667 Speaker 20: on the board and that sort of thing, and I'm 1321 01:07:09,787 --> 01:07:12,987 Speaker 20: just staggered about and she didn't know anything about it. 1322 01:07:13,627 --> 01:07:14,827 Speaker 20: I'm just appalled at that. 1323 01:07:15,827 --> 01:07:18,027 Speaker 2: Jenna, That's again a very good point. She didn't You're right, 1324 01:07:18,067 --> 01:07:20,467 Speaker 2: she was blindsided by the whole thing when she was 1325 01:07:20,507 --> 01:07:23,147 Speaker 2: stood down. That was the first she had heard of it. 1326 01:07:24,347 --> 01:07:28,587 Speaker 20: And the women that have complained and probably have, you know, 1327 01:07:28,867 --> 01:07:31,027 Speaker 20: some complaint about what was happening. 1328 01:07:34,187 --> 01:07:35,627 Speaker 2: Oh, Jennet, we just lost you as you were in 1329 01:07:35,667 --> 01:07:37,547 Speaker 2: full flight. I think we got the just to what 1330 01:07:37,627 --> 01:07:39,147 Speaker 2: you were saying, though. Thank you for calling in. 1331 01:07:39,387 --> 01:07:43,947 Speaker 9: Hello Bruce, Yeah, Hello, hello Piney, thanks for taking the call. 1332 01:07:44,107 --> 01:07:47,467 Speaker 9: Just I've been listening to this netball debate and I 1333 01:07:48,347 --> 01:07:52,027 Speaker 9: was just just then I got an idea of sort 1334 01:07:52,067 --> 01:07:56,267 Speaker 9: of what the perspective that maybe carrying is. I don't 1335 01:07:56,267 --> 01:07:58,667 Speaker 9: know the makeup of the team, but you get players 1336 01:07:58,707 --> 01:08:02,707 Speaker 9: that have very experienced, very skillful. They can still do 1337 01:08:02,867 --> 01:08:05,827 Speaker 9: the stub and they can sustain it for the period 1338 01:08:05,867 --> 01:08:10,507 Speaker 9: of a game. But pre season, you know these people, 1339 01:08:10,587 --> 01:08:12,747 Speaker 9: I don't know who they are, but just from looking 1340 01:08:12,787 --> 01:08:18,747 Speaker 9: at other situations where contracted players have been contracted from 1341 01:08:18,787 --> 01:08:22,147 Speaker 9: one club and then contracted to another club and their 1342 01:08:22,227 --> 01:08:25,827 Speaker 9: veteran players they go to the new club and the 1343 01:08:25,907 --> 01:08:28,507 Speaker 9: new coach and they you know, they're running up and 1344 01:08:28,587 --> 01:08:31,587 Speaker 9: down sand hills for two hours a day. And these 1345 01:08:31,627 --> 01:08:37,587 Speaker 9: guys have played. I'm thinking about the AFL VFL, particularly 1346 01:08:37,787 --> 01:08:41,387 Speaker 9: a Geelong Ford who went over to West Perth and 1347 01:08:41,547 --> 01:08:44,027 Speaker 9: he'd had one hundred and fifty games, had about fort 1348 01:08:44,187 --> 01:08:47,507 Speaker 9: deconstructions and the coach was hard as and he was 1349 01:08:47,587 --> 01:08:50,267 Speaker 9: making them run up and down these sand hills, and 1350 01:08:50,387 --> 01:08:53,827 Speaker 9: I just wonder if what's happened is you've got this 1351 01:08:54,147 --> 01:08:59,107 Speaker 9: really tough, staunch coach that's going to make everyone go 1352 01:08:59,267 --> 01:09:02,347 Speaker 9: to the line, but you know, some of these players' 1353 01:09:02,387 --> 01:09:04,547 Speaker 9: bodies aren't going to stand it, and if they've pushed 1354 01:09:04,627 --> 01:09:08,387 Speaker 9: that hard in pre season, they may not make the 1355 01:09:08,467 --> 01:09:11,147 Speaker 9: rest of the seaton, or they may have a nagging, 1356 01:09:11,227 --> 01:09:13,987 Speaker 9: niggling injury which is not going to take a really 1357 01:09:14,187 --> 01:09:18,507 Speaker 9: tough preseason. So that's just my perspective from what I've 1358 01:09:18,627 --> 01:09:22,547 Speaker 9: seen before where sort of contracted players go to a 1359 01:09:22,627 --> 01:09:27,267 Speaker 9: new club on a new contract and really get flogged preseason. 1360 01:09:27,787 --> 01:09:30,507 Speaker 9: So that's just my just something that sort of sprung 1361 01:09:30,587 --> 01:09:30,867 Speaker 9: to mind. 1362 01:09:30,947 --> 01:09:31,507 Speaker 8: Ben Piney. 1363 01:09:31,947 --> 01:09:34,907 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure it applies here, Bruce necessarily in 1364 01:09:35,067 --> 01:09:38,267 Speaker 2: terms of you know, going to no no. I look, 1365 01:09:38,307 --> 01:09:40,147 Speaker 2: I absolutely take the point. You're right is if they 1366 01:09:40,187 --> 01:09:42,267 Speaker 2: gets older, you need to manage their body better and 1367 01:09:42,347 --> 01:09:45,507 Speaker 2: all that sort of thing. But you know, Dame Nolan's 1368 01:09:45,507 --> 01:09:48,627 Speaker 2: been coach of the Silver Firn since twenty nineteen. Any 1369 01:09:48,747 --> 01:09:51,747 Speaker 2: experienced player in that team has been under her guidance 1370 01:09:51,787 --> 01:09:54,427 Speaker 2: for the last five or six years. I feel like 1371 01:09:54,547 --> 01:09:57,027 Speaker 2: you've built a relationship during that time where you can say, hey, 1372 01:09:57,587 --> 01:10:00,027 Speaker 2: Dame Noles, getting I'm starting to take a bit longer 1373 01:10:00,067 --> 01:10:02,907 Speaker 2: to recover. Can we look at some sort of performance 1374 01:10:02,947 --> 01:10:05,307 Speaker 2: plan for me. It's not as though she's new to 1375 01:10:05,387 --> 01:10:09,067 Speaker 2: the environment, and and neither are they. Like there may 1376 01:10:09,147 --> 01:10:11,267 Speaker 2: be a couple who have come in as experienced players, 1377 01:10:11,307 --> 01:10:14,227 Speaker 2: but most of them have been under her mentorship for 1378 01:10:14,307 --> 01:10:18,507 Speaker 2: six years. They know what she's about. And another part 1379 01:10:18,547 --> 01:10:21,627 Speaker 2: of me thinks, well, why haven't they found a problem 1380 01:10:21,707 --> 01:10:24,467 Speaker 2: with it before? And now if that's if it's so bad, 1381 01:10:24,867 --> 01:10:27,147 Speaker 2: unless it's gotten worse, and it might have. Look, let's 1382 01:10:27,147 --> 01:10:29,467 Speaker 2: hover above this for a sec. You know this is 1383 01:10:29,507 --> 01:10:31,707 Speaker 2: a show about opinions, and I think we've made mind 1384 01:10:31,747 --> 01:10:37,107 Speaker 2: fairly clear. But we can't just ignore any suggestion that 1385 01:10:37,227 --> 01:10:40,747 Speaker 2: there is a problem within this environment that is driven 1386 01:10:40,827 --> 01:10:44,067 Speaker 2: from the coaching team, Dave Nolan and others. We have 1387 01:10:44,227 --> 01:10:47,427 Speaker 2: to entertain the possibility that that is the case, that 1388 01:10:47,667 --> 01:10:50,667 Speaker 2: the complaints that have been made and the concerns that 1389 01:10:50,787 --> 01:10:53,627 Speaker 2: have been raised are genuine and need addressing. Net On 1390 01:10:53,707 --> 01:10:56,587 Speaker 2: New Zealand have clearly decided that they are the biggest 1391 01:10:56,587 --> 01:10:59,827 Speaker 2: sue they've struck is that they haven't said anything, been 1392 01:10:59,867 --> 01:11:03,227 Speaker 2: an absolute cone of silence the whole time, including to 1393 01:11:03,307 --> 01:11:03,947 Speaker 2: their own people. 1394 01:11:04,547 --> 01:11:08,107 Speaker 7: Scott Olo, okay for any first time call it of 1395 01:11:08,227 --> 01:11:09,747 Speaker 7: your show. So there we go. 1396 01:11:10,267 --> 01:11:13,187 Speaker 5: Good to have you with a Scott So just a 1397 01:11:13,227 --> 01:11:15,387 Speaker 5: couple of things I think on the net ball. 1398 01:11:16,827 --> 01:11:18,467 Speaker 7: This Dame Nolean, Taro. 1399 01:11:18,587 --> 01:11:20,347 Speaker 8: Stuff, the two coaches. 1400 01:11:20,427 --> 01:11:21,947 Speaker 19: So I haven't really watched a lot of people, and 1401 01:11:22,027 --> 01:11:24,707 Speaker 19: recently I've watched some of the tiny Jamis materies. This 1402 01:11:24,787 --> 01:11:28,027 Speaker 19: time the two coaches that have been there as interim coaches, 1403 01:11:28,027 --> 01:11:29,267 Speaker 19: I think they've done a brilliant job. 1404 01:11:31,347 --> 01:11:35,187 Speaker 8: So and as you say, what is the issue worth. 1405 01:11:37,107 --> 01:11:39,347 Speaker 7: Dame Nolean and the players? 1406 01:11:39,747 --> 01:11:41,827 Speaker 19: What is the extra sacty issue, as you say, is 1407 01:11:41,867 --> 01:11:43,707 Speaker 19: it because they're not getting enough time to recover. Is 1408 01:11:43,787 --> 01:11:46,987 Speaker 19: she watching them too hard in trainings and practices and stuff, 1409 01:11:47,507 --> 01:11:49,947 Speaker 19: or is there something else going on in the background 1410 01:11:49,987 --> 01:11:53,267 Speaker 19: that nobody's letting know. I mean, for your captain to 1411 01:11:53,307 --> 01:11:55,707 Speaker 19: come out and say I don't want to play under her, 1412 01:11:56,507 --> 01:11:57,787 Speaker 19: there's something made you going on. 1413 01:11:57,987 --> 01:12:01,067 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure about the Amelia Anick and 1414 01:12:01,107 --> 01:12:04,467 Speaker 2: Oco situation, Scott that so you're referring to obviously, Look 1415 01:12:04,507 --> 01:12:07,147 Speaker 2: I I you know she is getting, you know, towards 1416 01:12:07,187 --> 01:12:08,787 Speaker 2: the back end of her career. I know she's got 1417 01:12:08,827 --> 01:12:11,347 Speaker 2: a family, she's she's been very open about her mental 1418 01:12:11,387 --> 01:12:13,427 Speaker 2: health challenges as well as media around solic I'm not 1419 01:12:13,547 --> 01:12:16,507 Speaker 2: sure whether yeah, that is related to this, but you know, 1420 01:12:18,107 --> 01:12:20,227 Speaker 2: to withdraw her services if she doesn't want to play 1421 01:12:20,227 --> 01:12:21,227 Speaker 2: in a partial game. 1422 01:12:22,107 --> 01:12:24,227 Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. But it's like any sportsman. 1423 01:12:24,307 --> 01:12:26,547 Speaker 19: So whether it's a track and field or a rugby 1424 01:12:26,587 --> 01:12:29,467 Speaker 19: player or a league or a swim or whatever, everybody 1425 01:12:29,547 --> 01:12:32,627 Speaker 19: gets to the point where you physically can't compete anymore, 1426 01:12:33,987 --> 01:12:36,667 Speaker 19: but you don't blame your coach because you're having problems. 1427 01:12:36,987 --> 01:12:39,227 Speaker 19: So there must be something under the surface or I 1428 01:12:39,307 --> 01:12:41,907 Speaker 19: might have been Karen Burger or whatever under the surface 1429 01:12:42,067 --> 01:12:45,987 Speaker 19: that is not gelling now between the players and the coach. 1430 01:12:46,427 --> 01:12:49,387 Speaker 19: And the other point that I think the New Zealand 1431 01:12:49,427 --> 01:12:53,187 Speaker 19: netwill has stuffed up on is the Great's Wiki thing 1432 01:12:53,707 --> 01:12:57,147 Speaker 19: letting her come back from Australia and the exodus and 1433 01:12:58,027 --> 01:13:01,707 Speaker 19: want for the players to come back to New Zealand 1434 01:13:01,747 --> 01:13:04,587 Speaker 19: because Grace Wiking has done it going to Australia to play. 1435 01:13:05,307 --> 01:13:08,947 Speaker 19: I think that's a really big thing to broken New 1436 01:13:09,067 --> 01:13:12,667 Speaker 19: Zealand's own protocols to allow one player back. Now, all 1437 01:13:12,667 --> 01:13:15,467 Speaker 19: of a sudden we've had seven, eight, ten whatever top 1438 01:13:15,587 --> 01:13:18,627 Speaker 19: line players go over to Australia. Thinking that they're going 1439 01:13:18,707 --> 01:13:21,347 Speaker 19: to do exactly what Grace Wiki's done and come back 1440 01:13:21,427 --> 01:13:24,107 Speaker 19: and play for the Silver Ferns without being in the 1441 01:13:24,187 --> 01:13:28,227 Speaker 19: local competition is not a good thing, you know. 1442 01:13:28,467 --> 01:13:29,747 Speaker 7: The All Blacks are the same way. 1443 01:13:30,307 --> 01:13:33,627 Speaker 19: They have said with Richie Mlanga and even at the 1444 01:13:33,667 --> 01:13:37,507 Speaker 19: moment Lester paire Nuku, although he's in the team tonight, 1445 01:13:38,187 --> 01:13:40,267 Speaker 19: they have to come back and compete in New Zealand 1446 01:13:40,267 --> 01:13:41,267 Speaker 19: before they can make the team. 1447 01:13:42,547 --> 01:13:42,747 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1448 01:13:42,947 --> 01:13:44,587 Speaker 7: So I think New Zealand New. 1449 01:13:44,587 --> 01:13:46,907 Speaker 19: Was sort of cutting their own nose off despite their 1450 01:13:46,947 --> 01:13:50,147 Speaker 19: face by allowing that one player to dictate terms. 1451 01:13:52,067 --> 01:13:54,067 Speaker 2: Scott, thanks for your call, mate, and please call again. 1452 01:13:55,587 --> 01:13:58,907 Speaker 2: I'm actually a fan of the Grace wiki return and 1453 01:14:00,707 --> 01:14:03,547 Speaker 2: for the main reason that she she when she left, 1454 01:14:03,627 --> 01:14:05,587 Speaker 2: she didn't have any guarantee that she was going to 1455 01:14:05,587 --> 01:14:08,107 Speaker 2: be coming back. She in many ways was the catalyst 1456 01:14:08,187 --> 01:14:10,987 Speaker 2: for the rule change. And and yes you might say 1457 01:14:11,027 --> 01:14:13,747 Speaker 2: that that, you know, if players want to go and 1458 01:14:13,827 --> 01:14:16,507 Speaker 2: play overseas, then so be it, but they forgo the 1459 01:14:16,587 --> 01:14:18,907 Speaker 2: opportunity to play for the Silver Ferns if they choose 1460 01:14:18,987 --> 01:14:20,987 Speaker 2: to do that. I'm just not sure our talent, Paul 1461 01:14:21,067 --> 01:14:23,107 Speaker 2: is big enough for that. It's a separate situation in 1462 01:14:23,227 --> 01:14:25,547 Speaker 2: rugby where there is the talent that can make up 1463 01:14:25,587 --> 01:14:27,507 Speaker 2: for it. But yeah, good points one mate, Scott. Thanks 1464 01:14:27,547 --> 01:14:29,147 Speaker 2: for calling in mate.

Hard to say, 1482 01:15:13,867 --> 01:15:17,027 Speaker 10: but yeah, I think an occasion as well with James 1483 01:15:17,027 --> 01:15:22,747 Speaker 10: Slipper retiring absolutely all his legends. So yeah, so it's 1484 01:15:23,907 --> 01:15:27,467 Speaker 10: one there that they should take. Really, I mean, okay's 1485 01:15:27,507 --> 01:15:30,187 Speaker 10: New Zealand. It's a bloody done and those two things 1486 01:15:30,227 --> 01:15:33,707 Speaker 10: haven't equated to anything nice for Australia, right have majority 1487 01:15:33,707 --> 01:15:38,427 Speaker 10: of the last twenty years. But yeah over there, Yeah again, 1488 01:15:38,507 --> 01:15:41,947 Speaker 10: the timing of it, our Grand Final weekend and the 1489 01:15:42,027 --> 01:15:45,427 Speaker 10: casion like this deserves to have clear air. But now 1490 01:15:46,227 --> 01:15:48,587 Speaker 10: mildly confidence, this confidence of can be against New Zealand. 1491 01:15:49,187 --> 01:15:51,347 Speaker 2: What's that? Have you been to that stadium over in Perth? 1492 01:15:51,427 --> 01:15:52,387 Speaker 2: Looks amazing on TV. 1493 01:15:52,467 --> 01:15:53,027 Speaker 3: Have you been there? 1494 01:15:53,507 --> 01:15:55,827 Speaker 10: Yeah, Yeah, it's a big oval, so you kind of 1495 01:15:56,027 --> 01:15:58,627 Speaker 10: lose a bit. It's not like you know, you're on 1496 01:15:58,707 --> 01:16:02,547 Speaker 10: top of everything. Our best stadium for footy, i've got 1497 01:16:02,587 --> 01:16:05,867 Speaker 10: a couple is probably some Corps Stadium in Brisbane and 1498 01:16:06,347 --> 01:16:09,707 Speaker 10: out Stadium in Sydney where it's built for that. It's 1499 01:16:09,707 --> 01:16:12,947 Speaker 10: a rectangle. This is an AFL stadium really and they're 1500 01:16:12,947 --> 01:16:15,267 Speaker 10: going to have the first ashes test. They're really hard 1501 01:16:15,387 --> 01:16:19,547 Speaker 10: surface too, so if there's a bit of rain around 1502 01:16:19,547 --> 01:16:22,507 Speaker 10: it can make things a bit difficult because it's like 1503 01:16:22,627 --> 01:16:25,587 Speaker 10: a really hard surface underneath and really could be on top. 1504 01:16:25,667 --> 01:16:29,547 Speaker 10: But if it's dry, yeah we could get like forty 1505 01:16:29,627 --> 01:16:30,547 Speaker 10: thirty eight or something like that. 1506 01:16:32,627 --> 01:16:35,147 Speaker 2: We'll look out for a game of running rugby tonight 1507 01:16:35,187 --> 01:16:39,507 Speaker 2: Tomorrow night NRL Grand Final and your hometown of Sydney 1508 01:16:39,547 --> 01:16:41,827 Speaker 2: of course, couple of teams from outside state coming in. 1509 01:16:41,947 --> 01:16:44,507 Speaker 2: Melbourne Storm, Brisbane Broncos. How you see this one playing out? 1510 01:16:45,027 --> 01:16:49,027 Speaker 10: Yeah, you got the brilliance of Brisbane and yeah, just 1511 01:16:49,307 --> 01:16:51,587 Speaker 10: the methodical Storm, even though I think that's a bit 1512 01:16:51,627 --> 01:16:54,787 Speaker 10: of a misnomer. On Melbourne Storm, they've got as much 1513 01:16:54,827 --> 01:16:56,747 Speaker 10: flair as I think I can ever remember from a 1514 01:16:56,907 --> 01:17:01,307 Speaker 10: Melbourne Storm side, it's the games that they drift out 1515 01:17:01,547 --> 01:17:06,307 Speaker 10: and mentally and defensively that kind of make you scratch 1516 01:17:06,347 --> 01:17:07,707 Speaker 10: your head. And I've done a time and time again 1517 01:17:07,787 --> 01:17:09,827 Speaker 10: this season, but they have got it right at the 1518 01:17:09,867 --> 01:17:13,147 Speaker 10: back end when they needed to. This service again, I 1519 01:17:13,187 --> 01:17:15,987 Speaker 10: think he's your eleventh Grand Final, Craig Dleamy. It's incredible. 1520 01:17:16,467 --> 01:17:19,627 Speaker 10: So he's got more Grand Finals for himself than most 1521 01:17:19,707 --> 01:17:25,507 Speaker 10: other clubs, full stop, it's amazing. So yeah, he'll have them. 1522 01:17:25,707 --> 01:17:28,427 Speaker 10: I think in the right frame of mind, they probably 1523 01:17:28,507 --> 01:17:31,627 Speaker 10: deserves the edge of his favorites. But Brisbane have got 1524 01:17:31,667 --> 01:17:35,067 Speaker 10: the strife. They've got the best forward in the game 1525 01:17:35,427 --> 01:17:37,707 Speaker 10: in Paying Hears and probably the most exciting player of 1526 01:17:37,787 --> 01:17:40,347 Speaker 10: the game in Rhese Wesh and he can do anything. 1527 01:17:41,027 --> 01:17:43,307 Speaker 10: It's whether or not Melbourne let him do anything is 1528 01:17:43,347 --> 01:17:43,827 Speaker 10: another thing. 1529 01:17:44,107 --> 01:17:46,267 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we're certainly keeping eyes on it over the 1530 01:17:46,307 --> 01:17:47,747 Speaker 2: side of the Tasman as well, but a key we 1531 01:17:47,827 --> 01:17:51,267 Speaker 2: interest to and in the climax to the NRL season, 1532 01:17:51,547 --> 01:17:54,267 Speaker 2: let's go to the UK and Pasta Cooglu is in 1533 01:17:54,387 --> 01:17:57,427 Speaker 2: charge of Nottingham Forest are six games there without a win, 1534 01:17:58,027 --> 01:18:00,267 Speaker 2: already starting to come under some pressure I'm trying to 1535 01:18:00,307 --> 01:18:03,467 Speaker 2: find where they get their win. Their win from Newcastle tonight, 1536 01:18:03,467 --> 01:18:06,907 Speaker 2: which of course you don't want them to win four 1537 01:18:06,947 --> 01:18:10,827 Speaker 2: nil exactly, then Chelsea Porto and the Europa League, then 1538 01:18:10,907 --> 01:18:13,507 Speaker 2: born with her was Sex and then Manchester United. Maybe 1539 01:18:13,547 --> 01:18:15,667 Speaker 2: it comes against man You I don't know what's going 1540 01:18:15,707 --> 01:18:16,147 Speaker 2: on over there. 1541 01:18:16,427 --> 01:18:19,027 Speaker 10: Well, if he's still there. I read a report late 1542 01:18:19,107 --> 01:18:22,107 Speaker 10: last night which kind of concerned me a bit. I 1543 01:18:22,467 --> 01:18:25,067 Speaker 10: thought he'd be given a bit of time and you know, okay, 1544 01:18:25,547 --> 01:18:28,627 Speaker 10: you've got plenty of time to rectify it and not 1545 01:18:28,987 --> 01:18:32,747 Speaker 10: get relegated all those things. But reports were saying, oh, 1546 01:18:32,987 --> 01:18:35,987 Speaker 10: well the owner might be losing patience and those report 1547 01:18:36,067 --> 01:18:38,027 Speaker 10: and it's in the Times as well that those reports 1548 01:18:38,027 --> 01:18:40,667 Speaker 10: don't come out of nugly so someone's heard something and 1549 01:18:40,987 --> 01:18:44,947 Speaker 10: that's concerning. I hope he's given until at least the 1550 01:18:45,027 --> 01:18:48,187 Speaker 10: next international break, the November one. There's one coming up 1551 01:18:48,227 --> 01:18:51,547 Speaker 10: after this game against Newcast So look, it's not worked 1552 01:18:51,587 --> 01:18:53,187 Speaker 10: the way that everyone thought it was going to work. 1553 01:18:53,227 --> 01:18:55,507 Speaker 10: And I'm not sure what Ange Postagog told the owner 1554 01:18:55,587 --> 01:18:58,427 Speaker 10: mari An artists in the meetings, but I dare say 1555 01:18:58,467 --> 01:19:01,147 Speaker 10: it's removed from what we've seen so far in terms 1556 01:19:01,187 --> 01:19:05,027 Speaker 10: of how it's going to play out. So yeah, it's 1557 01:19:05,147 --> 01:19:06,947 Speaker 10: verging on being on on an I I don't think 1558 01:19:06,947 --> 01:19:09,947 Speaker 10: he's there yet, but yeah, a couple of more bad results, 1559 01:19:09,987 --> 01:19:12,147 Speaker 10: as you mentioned e side the international broake and it 1560 01:19:12,227 --> 01:19:12,947 Speaker 10: could be problems. 1561 01:19:13,347 --> 01:19:15,827 Speaker 2: All right, just speaking of international football, you're under twenties 1562 01:19:15,947 --> 01:19:19,267 Speaker 2: are at the World Cup, as are ours losses for Australia. 1563 01:19:19,427 --> 01:19:21,707 Speaker 2: It's only in Argentina. Man, that's a tough group. How 1564 01:19:21,867 --> 01:19:26,107 Speaker 2: they look though the under twenties the next way, they're. 1565 01:19:25,987 --> 01:19:30,667 Speaker 10: Okay, they're not world beaters. I don't think. Yeah, I 1566 01:19:30,707 --> 01:19:33,627 Speaker 10: don't think there's any forty million dollar players in there. 1567 01:19:33,747 --> 01:19:37,627 Speaker 10: But they're a good group and hopefully they can manufacture 1568 01:19:37,627 --> 01:19:40,027 Speaker 10: a miracle that got their last game against Cuba to 1569 01:19:40,107 --> 01:19:40,867 Speaker 10: get out of the group. 1570 01:19:40,907 --> 01:19:41,987 Speaker 7: But it's a good experience. 1571 01:19:42,027 --> 01:19:44,627 Speaker 10: I mean that game against Argentina, they were in it, 1572 01:19:44,787 --> 01:19:49,467 Speaker 10: but you always felt like Argentina had that class about 1573 01:19:49,507 --> 01:19:52,027 Speaker 10: them that was going to prove definitive, and so it did. 1574 01:19:52,227 --> 01:19:56,307 Speaker 10: Later on they scored two great goals at a time 1575 01:19:56,347 --> 01:19:59,907 Speaker 10: to make a two one result full one. So yeah, 1576 01:20:00,107 --> 01:20:03,307 Speaker 10: they're not far off. But yeah, it's just that, and 1577 01:20:03,387 --> 01:20:05,267 Speaker 10: then it makes you think of all the bigger, bigger 1578 01:20:05,307 --> 01:20:09,587 Speaker 10: things in Australia football about what's going on, and yeah, 1579 01:20:09,867 --> 01:20:12,747 Speaker 10: it's I don't know where it leads with things like 1580 01:20:12,787 --> 01:20:15,867 Speaker 10: the A leagu has been twenty six games and coaching 1581 01:20:16,267 --> 01:20:19,827 Speaker 10: coughing my leg over here, I'll go into a pioneer. 1582 01:20:19,827 --> 01:20:23,027 Speaker 10: I'm not sure. If you've got the time, you've probably done. Yeah, 1583 01:20:23,147 --> 01:20:24,427 Speaker 10: we'll see how it pans out. 1584 01:20:24,747 --> 01:20:27,307 Speaker 2: Just on actually, just on the senior side soccer, who's 1585 01:20:27,307 --> 01:20:30,107 Speaker 2: they've a squad's been announced to play upcoming games against 1586 01:20:30,147 --> 01:20:32,387 Speaker 2: Canada and the United States.

Gee, Tony Popovich seems to be giving 1589 01:20:40,227 --> 01:20:41,947 Speaker 2: a lot of blokes ago, doesn't he as he looks 1590 01:20:41,987 --> 01:20:42,987 Speaker 2: for his World Cup squad. 1591 01:20:43,467 --> 01:20:45,267 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that's what it's about, and it should 1592 01:20:45,307 --> 01:20:48,147 Speaker 10: be about because you may as well utilize the fact 1593 01:20:48,147 --> 01:20:50,267 Speaker 10: that you've qualified twelve month in exance the first time 1594 01:20:50,267 --> 01:20:52,267 Speaker 10: I was done it in a while. So it's mixed 1595 01:20:52,267 --> 01:20:54,787 Speaker 10: it up and see who's who going to zoo And yeah, 1596 01:20:54,787 --> 01:20:57,107 Speaker 10: I think there's eight or nine changes from the last squad, 1597 01:20:57,907 --> 01:20:59,987 Speaker 10: which makes people scratch their head a bit. But no, 1598 01:21:00,107 --> 01:21:03,387 Speaker 10: it's all about you know, seeing and Tony Popovich, as 1599 01:21:03,427 --> 01:21:06,427 Speaker 10: you know, is a man big about behaviors on and 1600 01:21:06,547 --> 01:21:08,307 Speaker 10: off the pitch, so he wants to get to know 1601 01:21:08,467 --> 01:21:11,627 Speaker 10: him a bit better in camp and their tendencies and everything. 1602 01:21:11,707 --> 01:21:14,507 Speaker 10: So yeah, we'll say it pans out against Canada and 1603 01:21:14,547 --> 01:21:17,107 Speaker 10: the US through football on of course, and tonight we've 1604 01:21:17,107 --> 01:21:18,747 Speaker 10: got the Australia Cup.

He knows exactly what the objective here 1802 01:31:04,787 --> 01:31:05,227 Speaker 17: and how. 1803 01:31:05,147 --> 01:31:05,827 Speaker 3: We're going to do it. 1804 01:31:06,347 --> 01:31:09,187 Speaker 17: You know, I think being in our fan base in 1805 01:31:09,347 --> 01:31:11,947 Speaker 17: New York specifically, you know, I would not say that 1806 01:31:12,067 --> 01:31:13,627 Speaker 17: they're exactly. 1807 01:31:13,307 --> 01:31:15,267 Speaker 3: Patient, But I don't think any fans are patient. 1808 01:31:15,267 --> 01:31:17,427 Speaker 17: I mean, I think they want to see they want 1809 01:31:17,467 --> 01:31:19,747 Speaker 17: to see a team making the right strides. They want 1810 01:31:19,787 --> 01:31:21,347 Speaker 17: to be able to get behind a team playing the 1811 01:31:21,467 --> 01:31:23,507 Speaker 17: right brand of basketball, and I think that's what they're 1812 01:31:23,507 --> 01:31:24,347 Speaker 17: going to see with the Nets. 1813 01:31:24,387 --> 01:31:26,387 Speaker 3: These guys are scrappy, they play. 1814 01:31:26,307 --> 01:31:29,747 Speaker 17: Hard, they exhibit that Brooklyn grit, which is what we 1815 01:31:29,867 --> 01:31:32,187 Speaker 17: talk about here, and if they're playing the right way, 1816 01:31:32,907 --> 01:31:35,587 Speaker 17: and I think our fan base can see okay, like 1817 01:31:35,787 --> 01:31:37,987 Speaker 17: I can see a few a couple of future Nets 1818 01:31:38,507 --> 01:31:40,987 Speaker 17: on this roster, and I can see them building. I 1819 01:31:41,067 --> 01:31:43,427 Speaker 17: think that our fan base will get behind us. And 1820 01:31:43,507 --> 01:31:47,787 Speaker 17: they've been incredibly great thus far, for not only myself, 1821 01:31:47,827 --> 01:31:49,747 Speaker 17: but for the entire team, in the entire organization. 1822 01:31:50,187 --> 01:31:53,187 Speaker 2: So you've settled now on a draft and develop strategy 1823 01:31:53,387 --> 01:31:58,067 Speaker 2: as opposed to a superstar acquisition philosophy. 1824 01:31:58,787 --> 01:32:02,227 Speaker 17: Well, I think you have to keep all your avenues 1825 01:32:02,827 --> 01:32:05,227 Speaker 17: wide open because you never know what's going to happen, 1826 01:32:05,507 --> 01:32:06,987 Speaker 17: you know. I mean, I don't want to predict that 1827 01:32:07,187 --> 01:32:09,107 Speaker 17: this is how it's going to play out, and it's 1828 01:32:09,147 --> 01:32:11,707 Speaker 17: going to be a long build because I you know, 1829 01:32:12,147 --> 01:32:15,747 Speaker 17: I'm patient and I want to build patiently, but I 1830 01:32:15,787 --> 01:32:17,467 Speaker 17: want to build with the right players, and you never 1831 01:32:17,587 --> 01:32:19,507 Speaker 17: know when those right players are going to come about. 1832 01:32:19,587 --> 01:32:22,787 Speaker 17: I mean, players can develop sooner and quicker than you 1833 01:32:22,867 --> 01:32:25,147 Speaker 17: may have expected. But you can also you know, certain 1834 01:32:25,187 --> 01:32:30,667 Speaker 17: trades come along quicker and maybe unforeseen at this particular juncture. 1835 01:32:30,787 --> 01:32:33,027 Speaker 3: So I wouldn't want to predict that we're going to 1836 01:32:33,107 --> 01:32:33,907 Speaker 3: do a certain thing. 1837 01:32:34,147 --> 01:32:36,067 Speaker 17: And then I think the best thing we can do 1838 01:32:36,227 --> 01:32:39,587 Speaker 17: is prepare for everything, but prepare that ultimately we want 1839 01:32:39,587 --> 01:32:43,107 Speaker 17: to have sustainable success and ultimately we want to be competing. 1840 01:32:44,507 --> 01:32:47,907 Speaker 2: You know in this in this market, you've been at 1841 01:32:47,907 --> 01:32:50,307 Speaker 2: the nets for nearly a decade now. During your time day, 1842 01:32:50,347 --> 01:32:53,107 Speaker 2: you've dealt with some of the biggest names in the sport, 1843 01:32:53,227 --> 01:32:56,747 Speaker 2: the likes of Karov and Kevin Durant, James Harden. How 1844 01:32:56,827 --> 01:32:59,187 Speaker 2: do you deal seoran with such big stars. 1845 01:33:01,067 --> 01:33:04,187 Speaker 17: Well, I think with everybody, it's about being honest and transparent. 1846 01:33:04,267 --> 01:33:05,867 Speaker 17: I think if you can sit there and have an 1847 01:33:05,907 --> 01:33:08,307 Speaker 17: honest conversation with guys is like how we're trying to 1848 01:33:08,347 --> 01:33:11,027 Speaker 17: do things. I don't think anybody wants surprises. I don't 1849 01:33:11,067 --> 01:33:13,187 Speaker 17: like to be surprised, and I don't think big stars 1850 01:33:13,307 --> 01:33:15,267 Speaker 17: like to be surprised. And I think when you're talking 1851 01:33:15,307 --> 01:33:18,867 Speaker 17: about guys like you just did, you know, they're the 1852 01:33:18,947 --> 01:33:23,027 Speaker 17: ones that you know their legacy is at stay at stake. 1853 01:33:23,147 --> 01:33:25,427 Speaker 17: They want to win and they want to win now, right, 1854 01:33:25,547 --> 01:33:27,507 Speaker 17: and I think that was the timeline of what we 1855 01:33:27,627 --> 01:33:29,547 Speaker 17: were on there, and we did everything we possibly could 1856 01:33:30,027 --> 01:33:30,627 Speaker 17: to put out. 1857 01:33:30,547 --> 01:33:32,947 Speaker 3: A team and a roster that was capable of doing 1858 01:33:33,107 --> 01:33:33,307 Speaker 3: just that. 1859 01:33:33,907 --> 01:33:37,307 Speaker 17: You know, our focus right now is on developing these 1860 01:33:37,387 --> 01:33:39,987 Speaker 17: young men that we have right here, and that's just 1861 01:33:40,107 --> 01:33:44,507 Speaker 17: as exciting. I mean, perhaps some different expectations, but the 1862 01:33:44,627 --> 01:33:46,587 Speaker 17: goal here is to build them up to where this 1863 01:33:46,907 --> 01:33:48,627 Speaker 17: this burrow and this market. 1864 01:33:48,427 --> 01:33:51,827 Speaker 3: Is excited to watch the next iteration of the nets. 1865 01:33:52,547 --> 01:33:54,707 Speaker 2: Sean, have you been able to get the same buzz 1866 01:33:55,107 --> 01:33:59,067 Speaker 2: from coaching and now general management as you did as 1867 01:33:59,107 --> 01:34:00,147 Speaker 2: a basketball player? 1868 01:34:01,987 --> 01:34:02,667 Speaker 3: Great question. 1869 01:34:02,947 --> 01:34:05,547 Speaker 17: I think it comes at different times in your life. 1870 01:34:05,827 --> 01:34:09,387 Speaker 17: And you know, at now fifty years old, I would 1871 01:34:09,467 --> 01:34:12,827 Speaker 17: not be getting the same buzz out of playing. I 1872 01:34:12,827 --> 01:34:15,467 Speaker 17: would be I'd be getting hurt. So that's that's not 1873 01:34:15,627 --> 01:34:17,987 Speaker 17: what That's not what I would want to do. But look, 1874 01:34:18,067 --> 01:34:22,067 Speaker 17: I loved I love competition. I think we're a fiercely 1875 01:34:22,147 --> 01:34:23,227 Speaker 17: competitive group. 1876 01:34:23,067 --> 01:34:25,947 Speaker 3: Here as that fits you know, Jordy and I well, 1877 01:34:27,347 --> 01:34:28,707 Speaker 3: you know, so you want to have that. 1878 01:34:28,787 --> 01:34:33,387 Speaker 17: Competitive spirit, whether you're playing, whether you're coaching, whether you're 1879 01:34:33,427 --> 01:34:35,947 Speaker 17: in the front office, and you want all groups to 1880 01:34:36,107 --> 01:34:39,507 Speaker 17: feel like we're all in sync together. There's nothing worse 1881 01:34:39,587 --> 01:34:42,467 Speaker 17: than feeling like you're in a silo and it's it's 1882 01:34:42,587 --> 01:34:43,587 Speaker 17: one versus or not. 1883 01:34:43,867 --> 01:34:46,707 Speaker 3: I think we need to be in aligned with ownership. 1884 01:34:46,787 --> 01:34:48,067 Speaker 17: We need to be aligned with how we're going to 1885 01:34:48,107 --> 01:34:50,707 Speaker 17: build this thing and and play the right way, the 1886 01:34:50,827 --> 01:34:53,027 Speaker 17: right system, with the right cost of characters. 1887 01:34:53,267 --> 01:34:55,347 Speaker 2: And amongst all the basketball that you played. And it 1888 01:34:55,507 --> 01:34:59,147 Speaker 2: is a glittering CV. Where does the Tall Blacks fourth 1889 01:34:59,187 --> 01:35:02,147 Speaker 2: place finish at the World Champs in two thousand and two? 1890 01:35:02,267 --> 01:35:02,427 Speaker 8: Sit? 1891 01:35:04,147 --> 01:35:08,107 Speaker 3: Uh, you know, I've said it several times. 1892 01:35:08,267 --> 01:35:13,707 Speaker 17: I think wearing your country's uniform, your jersey and New 1893 01:35:13,827 --> 01:35:15,387 Speaker 17: Zealand on the front inches, there's. 1894 01:35:15,267 --> 01:35:15,867 Speaker 3: Nothing like that. 1895 01:35:16,147 --> 01:35:17,387 Speaker 15: That is that is. 1896 01:35:19,147 --> 01:35:21,747 Speaker 3: Top of the top, you know. And I, by the way, I. 1897 01:35:21,787 --> 01:35:24,867 Speaker 17: Loved winning championships with San Antonio without a doubt. But 1898 01:35:25,667 --> 01:35:28,187 Speaker 17: you know, as a young kid tall and tor Bay, 1899 01:35:28,267 --> 01:35:32,147 Speaker 17: I don't know that I ever could have predicted, you know, 1900 01:35:32,347 --> 01:35:34,387 Speaker 17: playing for your country and playing at the Olympics and 1901 01:35:34,427 --> 01:35:36,547 Speaker 17: playing in the World Champs. So I think that's that's 1902 01:35:36,667 --> 01:35:38,347 Speaker 17: the cream of the crop right there, to be able 1903 01:35:38,387 --> 01:35:41,387 Speaker 17: to say you represent your country as second to none. 1904 01:35:41,547 --> 01:35:43,507 Speaker 2: Special group of players. You look at the roster just 1905 01:35:43,867 --> 01:35:46,547 Speaker 2: generational talent in there is there a dynamic in that 1906 01:35:46,627 --> 01:35:48,707 Speaker 2: group which means that if you happen to get together now, 1907 01:35:48,787 --> 01:35:50,627 Speaker 2: even just with a couple of those guys, would it 1908 01:35:50,747 --> 01:35:53,227 Speaker 2: just be like old times, you'd slip into the same conversations. 1909 01:35:54,467 --> 01:35:55,307 Speaker 3: I'm sure we would. 1910 01:35:55,387 --> 01:35:55,867 Speaker 8: I mean it was. 1911 01:35:56,147 --> 01:35:57,067 Speaker 3: It was a great group. 1912 01:35:57,147 --> 01:35:59,947 Speaker 17: I mean, we're we're all still on WhatsApp channels together 1913 01:36:00,147 --> 01:36:03,347 Speaker 17: and several of them have come through here pretty regularly 1914 01:36:03,427 --> 01:36:04,067 Speaker 17: a visit. 1915 01:36:03,947 --> 01:36:06,147 Speaker 3: Which you know, I love you. 1916 01:36:06,507 --> 01:36:09,467 Speaker 17: We shared, you know, obviously some great, great memories, some 1917 01:36:09,587 --> 01:36:12,787 Speaker 17: common bonds and so forth, and some memories that are 1918 01:36:12,827 --> 01:36:15,307 Speaker 17: going to last us us a lifetime together, for sure, 1919 01:36:15,427 --> 01:36:16,027 Speaker 17: without a doubt. 1920 01:36:16,387 --> 01:36:18,427 Speaker 2: Earlier this year at junior Tall Blacks were fourth at 1921 01:36:18,427 --> 01:36:21,427 Speaker 2: the under nineteen World Cup. Last year as seventeen's fourth 1922 01:36:21,507 --> 01:36:23,507 Speaker 2: at their World Cup. Are you aware of the new 1923 01:36:23,587 --> 01:36:26,267 Speaker 2: wave of young Kiwi basketballers coming through? 1924 01:36:27,267 --> 01:36:30,227 Speaker 17: I am very aware, actually, and I think that's just 1925 01:36:30,867 --> 01:36:33,867 Speaker 17: I could not be more proud of of of those, 1926 01:36:34,307 --> 01:36:36,147 Speaker 17: you know, young men and women to be quite frank, 1927 01:36:36,227 --> 01:36:38,947 Speaker 17: that are representing the country at all different age groups. 1928 01:36:39,467 --> 01:36:42,947 Speaker 17: I think it's inspiring and hopefully it helps inspiring another 1929 01:36:43,067 --> 01:36:46,067 Speaker 17: generation after them to continue to grow and you know, 1930 01:36:46,187 --> 01:36:50,747 Speaker 17: guys like Pio and Kirk and Steven Adams and the 1931 01:36:50,827 --> 01:36:54,627 Speaker 17: guys that have played over here or represented the country at. 1932 01:36:54,587 --> 01:36:55,467 Speaker 3: The highest levels. 1933 01:36:55,627 --> 01:36:59,307 Speaker 17: Hopefully they inspired this group to you know, and come 1934 01:36:59,347 --> 01:37:00,907 Speaker 17: and do better than the ones that came before them. 1935 01:37:00,947 --> 01:37:02,707 Speaker 3: I think that's that's the only thing we can hope for. 1936 01:37:03,147 --> 01:37:06,227 Speaker 2: Just to finish. Can you watch a game of basket 1937 01:37:06,507 --> 01:37:09,267 Speaker 2: ball now, just for the pleasure of watching a game 1938 01:37:09,347 --> 01:37:10,427 Speaker 2: of basketball or not? 1939 01:37:13,587 --> 01:37:16,707 Speaker 17: I can probably watch my kids games at that level, 1940 01:37:16,867 --> 01:37:21,067 Speaker 17: but yeah, not really. If I'm going to watch a 1941 01:37:21,147 --> 01:37:23,987 Speaker 17: game or something for just the sake of just mindless 1942 01:37:24,067 --> 01:37:27,187 Speaker 17: TV or something, it's it's probably not basketball. It's probably 1943 01:37:27,227 --> 01:37:30,387 Speaker 17: a different sport. But I will say I continue to 1944 01:37:30,427 --> 01:37:33,267 Speaker 17: critique those as well. It's it just comes with the territory. 1945 01:37:33,547 --> 01:37:35,987 Speaker 2: Really appreciate your time, Sean.

But yeah, 2008 01:41:01,947 --> 01:41:04,947 Speaker 8: I was pretty proud and I'm happy. Yeah. 2009 01:41:05,347 --> 01:41:08,227 Speaker 2: What were your goals and ambitions when you joined the 2010 01:41:08,307 --> 01:41:09,667 Speaker 2: Warriors at the end of last season. 2011 01:41:11,867 --> 01:41:15,147 Speaker 8: Honestly, Bro, I just wanted to come here just and 2012 01:41:15,427 --> 01:41:19,947 Speaker 8: come home, and I felt like I had unfinished business 2013 01:41:19,987 --> 01:41:22,587 Speaker 8: here in a way because I left here and I 2014 01:41:22,707 --> 01:41:24,827 Speaker 8: wasn't i could have given my all at that time 2015 01:41:24,867 --> 01:41:28,107 Speaker 8: because I wasn't in the right mental space. And I 2016 01:41:28,187 --> 01:41:30,747 Speaker 8: feel like I'm in the right mental space now and 2017 01:41:30,867 --> 01:41:34,067 Speaker 8: I can do that. And I'm quite happy that I'm 2018 01:41:34,107 --> 01:41:35,787 Speaker 8: giving my all to this club because that's all I 2019 01:41:35,827 --> 01:41:36,227 Speaker 8: wanted to do. 2020 01:41:36,467 --> 01:41:39,667 Speaker 2: From being honest, how different are you from the player 2021 01:41:39,947 --> 01:41:43,027 Speaker 2: and the person who left the Warriors in twenty seventeen. 2022 01:41:43,867 --> 01:41:48,027 Speaker 8: Well, I think, well, honestly, I think the person side 2023 01:41:48,067 --> 01:41:52,067 Speaker 8: of things is what's helped my game a lot. I've 2024 01:41:52,067 --> 01:41:53,947 Speaker 8: got a good group of boys around me at the club, 2025 01:41:54,787 --> 01:41:57,067 Speaker 8: good coaching stuff to keep me on the straight and narrow. 2026 01:41:57,147 --> 01:41:59,387 Speaker 8: But yeah, I think just I think having three kids, 2027 01:41:59,427 --> 01:42:01,467 Speaker 8: bro kind of you got to grow up quick and 2028 01:42:01,627 --> 01:42:03,147 Speaker 8: it gives you a bit of a purpose. It's not 2029 01:42:03,307 --> 01:42:06,147 Speaker 8: just about you anymore. So I think that's the biggest one. 2030 01:42:06,667 --> 01:42:09,147 Speaker 2: How happy were you with your season? First of all, 2031 01:42:09,227 --> 01:42:11,387 Speaker 2: let's talk about you personally. How how happy were you? 2032 01:42:11,467 --> 01:42:15,387 Speaker 2: But the way you played across the season, I was happy, mate. 2033 01:42:15,427 --> 01:42:18,987 Speaker 8: But the cool thing is like for me personally is 2034 01:42:19,107 --> 01:42:22,627 Speaker 8: I still got so much to improve on it. So 2035 01:42:22,787 --> 01:42:27,507 Speaker 8: much to learn. It's it's different this year because I'm 2036 01:42:27,587 --> 01:42:29,347 Speaker 8: on the field a lot, a lot longer, so I 2037 01:42:29,427 --> 01:42:33,307 Speaker 8: need to learn certain ways to save energy here and there. 2038 01:42:34,547 --> 01:42:36,867 Speaker 8: But now I'm just just loving it, bro just loving 2039 01:42:37,187 --> 01:42:39,747 Speaker 8: the opportunity that was given to me, and I'm hopefully 2040 01:42:39,787 --> 01:42:42,387 Speaker 8: I've taken it with both hands. I hope everyone can see. 2041 01:42:42,827 --> 01:42:45,987 Speaker 2: I didn't see you saving energy at all during the season, 2042 01:42:46,067 --> 01:42:47,427 Speaker 2: and when were you doing that? 2043 01:42:48,547 --> 01:42:51,867 Speaker 8: But personally, I think just trying to free up my 2044 01:42:51,947 --> 01:42:54,627 Speaker 8: halves a bit more like obviously you see the run 2045 01:42:54,707 --> 01:42:57,147 Speaker 8: I do and the carries, but I think I can 2046 01:42:57,227 --> 01:42:59,467 Speaker 8: work on my passing game to give my halves a 2047 01:42:59,507 --> 01:43:02,347 Speaker 8: bit of space, and that's something that's that's going to 2048 01:43:02,387 --> 01:43:04,907 Speaker 8: help me save energy, where I can put my energy 2049 01:43:04,947 --> 01:43:07,227 Speaker 8: into different places other than just running all the time. 2050 01:43:07,547 --> 01:43:09,027 Speaker 2: I look at the stats, and I know they only 2051 01:43:09,107 --> 01:43:11,187 Speaker 2: tell some of the story. But you made more tackles 2052 01:43:11,227 --> 01:43:13,987 Speaker 2: than any other Warriors player this season. You averaged thirty 2053 01:43:14,067 --> 01:43:18,307 Speaker 2: four tackles per game at ninety five percent tackle efficiency. 2054 01:43:18,947 --> 01:43:21,267 Speaker 2: How much do you pride yourself on that part of 2055 01:43:21,387 --> 01:43:21,787 Speaker 2: your game? 2056 01:43:23,787 --> 01:43:26,667 Speaker 8: I think defense. Defense is the massive part of our 2057 01:43:26,707 --> 01:43:30,547 Speaker 8: game these days. Made and when I get tired I 2058 01:43:30,667 --> 01:43:33,267 Speaker 8: need to make sure that stays up. And I didn't 2059 01:43:33,307 --> 01:43:37,307 Speaker 8: even know those stats. Brown, It's quite quite much to 2060 01:43:37,347 --> 01:43:39,667 Speaker 8: hear that, because I thought it was heaps worse than that. 2061 01:43:39,827 --> 01:43:42,947 Speaker 8: So you saying that I was, I'm pretty proud of that. 2062 01:43:43,667 --> 01:43:46,347 Speaker 2: What sort of physical toll does that take on you? 2063 01:43:46,907 --> 01:43:49,427 Speaker 2: Now a game when you're making thirty four tackles on average, 2064 01:43:49,827 --> 01:43:52,227 Speaker 2: you're up and down. That isn't even in start. You know, 2065 01:43:52,347 --> 01:43:54,467 Speaker 2: to think about the time with ball and hand yourself 2066 01:43:54,507 --> 01:43:57,627 Speaker 2: and the run meters that you make, what is your recovery, Like. 2067 01:43:59,507 --> 01:44:02,427 Speaker 8: You're probably bestress and asses has to put up with 2068 01:44:02,467 --> 01:44:06,787 Speaker 8: it the next day. But to go from play twenty 2069 01:44:06,867 --> 01:44:09,827 Speaker 8: minutes at the time as the year before to maybe 2070 01:44:09,947 --> 01:44:12,427 Speaker 8: fifty plus week and week out. It definitely took a 2071 01:44:12,507 --> 01:44:15,587 Speaker 8: toll on me o body. But I think midway through 2072 01:44:15,627 --> 01:44:18,547 Speaker 8: the year kind of I kind of got used to it. 2073 01:44:18,627 --> 01:44:21,347 Speaker 8: But at the start made waking up the next day 2074 01:44:21,427 --> 01:44:24,347 Speaker 8: hardly could move and like, that's the game we play, 2075 01:44:24,387 --> 01:44:26,987 Speaker 8: and that's the toughest game in the world, and I 2076 01:44:27,467 --> 01:44:30,987 Speaker 8: wouldn't want it any other way. Like I'll put everything 2077 01:44:31,067 --> 01:44:32,907 Speaker 8: on the line for my team and all the fans 2078 01:44:32,947 --> 01:44:36,547 Speaker 8: and my family. So yeah, that's I don't care about 2079 01:44:36,547 --> 01:44:36,867 Speaker 8: my body. 2080 01:44:36,907 --> 01:44:40,347 Speaker 2: At the time when you were having conversations with Andrew Webster, 2081 01:44:40,507 --> 01:44:42,027 Speaker 2: you know, at the start of the season and during 2082 01:44:42,067 --> 01:44:43,867 Speaker 2: the season, was that something that he was keen for 2083 01:44:43,947 --> 01:44:46,147 Speaker 2: you to do, to play those sort of fifty fifty 2084 01:44:46,187 --> 01:44:48,027 Speaker 2: five minute games rather than the twenty minutes. 2085 01:44:49,707 --> 01:44:53,387 Speaker 8: No, honestly, Bro, I think I just came to be 2086 01:44:53,587 --> 01:44:56,427 Speaker 8: that bench middle, to come off the bench and maybe 2087 01:44:56,507 --> 01:44:59,427 Speaker 8: do that twenty in a minute role. But obviously we 2088 01:44:59,587 --> 01:45:04,507 Speaker 8: lost two great players and Dylan and Tahu, and I 2089 01:45:04,667 --> 01:45:08,427 Speaker 8: just found myself there and what an opportunity to take 2090 01:45:08,467 --> 01:45:10,787 Speaker 8: and I wanted to take it with both hands. 2091 01:45:10,827 --> 01:45:15,467 Speaker 2: And yeah, and here's another step for you. You averaged 2092 01:45:15,467 --> 01:45:18,147 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty seven run meters per game, so 2093 01:45:18,227 --> 01:45:21,547 Speaker 2: that's ball and hand stuff. Only Roger and Chance ran 2094 01:45:21,667 --> 01:45:24,707 Speaker 2: for more meters than you did this season for the Warriors. 2095 01:45:24,747 --> 01:45:27,227 Speaker 2: So how how proud are you of your ball and 2096 01:45:27,347 --> 01:45:28,707 Speaker 2: hand contribution to this team. 2097 01:45:30,587 --> 01:45:34,147 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm proud, Bro, But like I said, so, it's 2098 01:45:34,187 --> 01:45:38,427 Speaker 8: got so much more to learn. And that's something I 2099 01:45:38,507 --> 01:45:40,147 Speaker 8: wanted to work on this year, was my at Tech. 2100 01:45:40,227 --> 01:45:45,507 Speaker 8: And yeah, I just felt like it's slowly coming. But yeah, 2101 01:45:45,747 --> 01:45:47,187 Speaker 8: like I said, I just want to get better with 2102 01:45:47,307 --> 01:45:49,227 Speaker 8: my passing game to free up my half backs and 2103 01:45:50,387 --> 01:45:50,907 Speaker 8: for next year. 2104 01:45:51,027 --> 01:45:54,427 Speaker 2: So no tries though, what's the story there? No tries 2105 01:45:54,467 --> 01:45:54,947 Speaker 2: this season? 2106 01:45:56,307 --> 01:45:56,867 Speaker 8: No tries? 2107 01:45:57,067 --> 01:45:57,107 Speaker 3: No? 2108 01:45:58,347 --> 01:46:01,427 Speaker 8: Oh truth, Love, I didn't go there to score tries. 2109 01:46:02,387 --> 01:46:04,227 Speaker 8: I'll rather the sleeves up and let the other boys 2110 01:46:04,227 --> 01:46:05,827 Speaker 8: score the trials. I'll do the running for me. 2111 01:46:06,507 --> 01:46:07,347 Speaker 15: Love love that. 2112 01:46:07,747 --> 01:46:09,507 Speaker 2: And if we look at the team, I mean, a 2113 01:46:09,587 --> 01:46:13,827 Speaker 2: good season, especially compared to last season, made the eight 2114 01:46:13,907 --> 01:46:16,147 Speaker 2: and then obviously one week into the playoffs. What what 2115 01:46:16,227 --> 01:46:17,907 Speaker 2: do the Warriors have to do to build on twenty 2116 01:46:17,947 --> 01:46:20,667 Speaker 2: twenty five when twenty twenty six rolls around. 2117 01:46:21,907 --> 01:46:24,507 Speaker 8: I think with this year, mate, Look, obviously we lost 2118 01:46:24,547 --> 01:46:27,467 Speaker 8: a lot of key players in Mitch and Luke, and 2119 01:46:27,987 --> 01:46:30,067 Speaker 8: over the year we lost a bit of experience with 2120 01:46:30,187 --> 01:46:32,347 Speaker 8: Fish going down, Chanelle going down for a week, and 2121 01:46:32,787 --> 01:46:34,427 Speaker 8: we've got to butt a few of the young boys, 2122 01:46:34,747 --> 01:46:39,067 Speaker 8: and I think next year they're going to be in 2123 01:46:39,187 --> 01:46:42,147 Speaker 8: our season in rol players and that's only going to 2124 01:46:42,187 --> 01:46:45,307 Speaker 8: help us because our depth at this club's crazy, bro 2125 01:46:45,427 --> 01:46:48,587 Speaker 8: and it's good. So I reckon those young boys are 2126 01:46:48,627 --> 01:46:50,547 Speaker 8: going to have a big influence on how we go 2127 01:46:50,747 --> 01:46:53,707 Speaker 8: next year, and they'll be ready. Luck they were this year, 2128 01:46:53,787 --> 01:46:54,427 Speaker 8: but even better. 2129 01:46:54,987 --> 01:46:57,547 Speaker 2: So how will you switch off during the off season? 2130 01:46:57,547 --> 01:46:59,147 Speaker 2: I guess three kids might be the answer to that. 2131 01:47:00,627 --> 01:47:04,987 Speaker 8: Our wife and three kids fully takes up so much 2132 01:47:05,067 --> 01:47:07,867 Speaker 8: time during the year, brow and I think all my 2133 01:47:07,947 --> 01:47:11,547 Speaker 8: time is going to be with them. They mean a 2134 01:47:11,587 --> 01:47:13,427 Speaker 8: lot to me, Bros. Yeah, that's all. 2135 01:47:13,667 --> 01:47:15,907 Speaker 2: No better way, no better way to spend it, man, 2136 01:47:15,947 --> 01:47:17,387 Speaker 2: No better way to spend it. Got a prediction for 2137 01:47:17,467 --> 01:47:19,027 Speaker 2: the Grand Final? Storm or Broncos? 2138 01:47:19,187 --> 01:47:19,627 Speaker 7: Who you got? 2139 01:47:20,187 --> 01:47:22,707 Speaker 8: I'm going Broncos, mate. I just think they're hitting their 2140 01:47:22,747 --> 01:47:25,387 Speaker 8: strift at the right time, and they got a lot 2141 01:47:25,467 --> 01:47:28,347 Speaker 8: of a lot of key players and Reese Walsh and 2142 01:47:28,787 --> 01:47:30,987 Speaker 8: Paying Heath and if Reesa is firing that they're just 2143 01:47:31,107 --> 01:47:33,427 Speaker 8: going to be too hard to stop him. With Reynolds, 2144 01:47:33,587 --> 01:47:37,387 Speaker 8: Reynolds and the Harves, he's just the maister of the team, Bosa, 2145 01:47:37,467 --> 01:47:40,787 Speaker 8: I reckon, Broncos are going to do it this time. 2146 01:47:41,107 --> 01:47:41,307 Speaker 3: Aaron. 2147 01:47:41,387 --> 01:47:43,547 Speaker 2: Congrats on a terrific season, mate.

You won that in a comfortable two nil 2281 01:54:21,427 --> 01:54:24,747 Speaker 2: Test series won against Zimbabwe was the main advantage for you. 2282 01:54:25,227 --> 01:54:28,347 Speaker 2: The chance to spend time on tour with your players. 2283 01:54:30,027 --> 01:54:33,907 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I think I always say that you only 2284 01:54:34,027 --> 01:54:37,307 Speaker 4: know really there were kings of a team and an 2285 01:54:37,387 --> 01:54:40,347 Speaker 4: environment one walk in issues, so it was good to 2286 01:54:40,747 --> 01:54:43,307 Speaker 4: just climb to spend a lot of time observing and 2287 01:54:43,347 --> 01:54:46,947 Speaker 4: obviously connecting with players and staff and just getting a 2288 01:54:47,027 --> 01:54:51,227 Speaker 4: sense of half things operate and where the potential gaps are. 2289 01:54:51,387 --> 01:54:52,307 Speaker 7: So yeah, it was. 2290 01:54:52,427 --> 01:54:53,347 Speaker 4: It was a great tour for that. 2291 01:54:53,867 --> 01:54:57,347 Speaker 2: The two Tests against Zimbabwe were very lopsided. You won 2292 01:54:57,387 --> 01:54:59,147 Speaker 2: by nine wickets and then by an innings and three 2293 01:54:59,267 --> 01:55:02,267 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty nine runs. Where do you find value 2294 01:55:02,707 --> 01:55:05,187 Speaker 2: in lopsided contests like that? 2295 01:55:07,627 --> 01:55:10,747 Speaker 4: I suppose you know, from from a team point of view, 2296 01:55:10,787 --> 01:55:12,827 Speaker 4: you sort of can only compete with what's in front 2297 01:55:12,867 --> 01:55:14,907 Speaker 4: of you, and I thought you did that well. The 2298 01:55:15,027 --> 01:55:17,667 Speaker 4: batter is, you know, you've still got to score the rains. 2299 01:55:17,667 --> 01:55:18,827 Speaker 8: He's got to apply yourself. 2300 01:55:19,227 --> 01:55:21,387 Speaker 4: In test cricket, it doesn't matter who you're playing, and 2301 01:55:21,747 --> 01:55:25,667 Speaker 4: I thought we'd certainly got better as the two games 2302 01:55:25,747 --> 01:55:28,747 Speaker 4: went on. And then from a bowling point of view, 2303 01:55:28,787 --> 01:55:30,947 Speaker 4: you know we had a couple of debut times, so 2304 01:55:31,947 --> 01:55:35,107 Speaker 4: same thing applies. You know, all of those zumbible test batters, 2305 01:55:35,147 --> 01:55:36,747 Speaker 4: you know a lot of them have got Test hundreds 2306 01:55:36,827 --> 01:55:39,227 Speaker 4: and highly experienced, so you still have to bowl well 2307 01:55:39,267 --> 01:55:41,627 Speaker 4: and put the ball in the right area. Then for 2308 01:55:41,907 --> 01:55:44,107 Speaker 4: young guys making the debuts, I don't think it matters 2309 01:55:44,147 --> 01:55:46,307 Speaker 4: who you're playing against. The will still be some sort 2310 01:55:46,307 --> 01:55:47,067 Speaker 4: of element. 2311 01:55:46,827 --> 01:55:47,547 Speaker 8: Of nerves there. 2312 01:55:47,627 --> 01:55:51,507 Speaker 4: So to see them come into the team and really 2313 01:55:51,587 --> 01:55:54,827 Speaker 4: stand up and thrive was great and sort of great 2314 01:55:54,867 --> 01:55:56,507 Speaker 4: indication of the environment as well. 2315 01:55:56,627 --> 01:55:59,787 Speaker 8: So whilst it was lopsided, there's always you know. 2316 01:55:59,787 --> 01:56:02,227 Speaker 4: There's always stuff to take away that I thought the 2317 01:56:02,307 --> 01:56:03,307 Speaker 4: guys did impressively. 2318 01:56:03,347 --> 01:56:03,507 Speaker 7: Well. 2319 01:56:04,107 --> 01:56:06,507 Speaker 2: How much of the summer is about preparing for all 2320 01:56:06,507 --> 01:56:08,587 Speaker 2: the t twenty World Cup in February and March. 2321 01:56:10,467 --> 01:56:13,627 Speaker 4: Yeah, of course you have one I on that tournament, 2322 01:56:13,747 --> 01:56:17,107 Speaker 4: and you know sort of working towards it bit by bit. 2323 01:56:17,227 --> 01:56:21,387 Speaker 4: I think ultimately foundationally, you know the blocks are in place, 2324 01:56:21,467 --> 01:56:25,867 Speaker 4: and it's just sort of fine tuning and evolving certain 2325 01:56:26,067 --> 01:56:30,747 Speaker 4: small elements in our game for that competition. And fortunately 2326 01:56:30,827 --> 01:56:33,107 Speaker 4: there's you know, there's a favorit of competition for places 2327 01:56:33,187 --> 01:56:37,347 Speaker 4: out there, so you know these games are important one 2328 01:56:37,547 --> 01:56:40,347 Speaker 4: for that, but also for a unit just gets close 2329 01:56:40,427 --> 01:56:42,747 Speaker 4: and closer to understanding around how we want to play. 2330 01:56:43,107 --> 01:56:45,907 Speaker 2: It does feel like we're building some significant white ball death. 2331 01:56:45,987 --> 01:56:49,347 Speaker 2: Even with a number of players unavailable for this current series, 2332 01:56:49,387 --> 01:56:51,187 Speaker 2: there's still a very strong side you can put out. 2333 01:56:51,587 --> 01:56:54,707 Speaker 2: How do you evaluate the player poll for in particular 2334 01:56:54,787 --> 01:56:59,627 Speaker 2: T twenty and fifty over cricket, I think you know. 2335 01:56:59,707 --> 01:57:02,147 Speaker 4: By nature of the way cricket operates at the moment 2336 01:57:02,267 --> 01:57:05,747 Speaker 4: is you know, franchise leagues pulling players out of international 2337 01:57:05,827 --> 01:57:10,947 Speaker 4: duty now and then you by default build a bigger pool. 2338 01:57:11,027 --> 01:57:13,027 Speaker 4: But it's nice to have seen how you know that 2339 01:57:13,187 --> 01:57:15,667 Speaker 4: pool has delivered good results of I think back to 2340 01:57:15,747 --> 01:57:17,707 Speaker 4: the Pakistan series at the end of the last summer. 2341 01:57:18,827 --> 01:57:20,867 Speaker 4: You know, I think Garry and the team did out 2342 01:57:20,867 --> 01:57:23,627 Speaker 4: of a job in terms of building that that depth, 2343 01:57:24,427 --> 01:57:27,827 Speaker 4: and we're seeing guys getting opportunities to play and really 2344 01:57:27,827 --> 01:57:29,947 Speaker 4: stepping up when they get those chips. So it's always 2345 01:57:29,987 --> 01:57:32,547 Speaker 4: a good sign. I mean, at the end of the day, 2346 01:57:32,627 --> 01:57:36,187 Speaker 4: you're always better. There's more guys competing for a spot 2347 01:57:36,747 --> 01:57:39,107 Speaker 4: and it makes it sort of drives performance without having 2348 01:57:39,147 --> 01:57:41,427 Speaker 4: to do too much. So you know, we want as 2349 01:57:41,507 --> 01:57:44,027 Speaker 4: many quality players as we can possibly get because we 2350 01:57:44,187 --> 01:57:46,907 Speaker 4: know that you know that the international cricket world is 2351 01:57:47,987 --> 01:57:50,627 Speaker 4: the mind that really it's not possible to just lean 2352 01:57:50,747 --> 01:57:53,187 Speaker 4: on the resources of a couple of, you know, like 2353 01:57:53,267 --> 01:57:55,267 Speaker 4: fifteen players and think that that's going to be enough. 2354 01:57:55,387 --> 01:57:57,587 Speaker 4: So the stronger a pool can be, the better be 2355 01:57:57,707 --> 01:57:57,867 Speaker 4: for it. 2356 01:57:58,667 --> 01:58:01,827 Speaker 2: And cricket and cricket contracts and ever changing issue in 2357 01:58:01,907 --> 01:58:04,627 Speaker 2: modern day cricket and have a changing landscape. How do 2358 01:58:04,667 --> 01:58:06,707 Speaker 2: your best navigate the fact that some of your I 2359 01:58:06,747 --> 01:58:08,627 Speaker 2: seem to really contracted and some of them. 2360 01:58:08,547 --> 01:58:13,827 Speaker 4: Oun't well, I think first and foremostly especially for world events, 2361 01:58:13,947 --> 01:58:16,787 Speaker 4: essentially the casual contracts kind of mirror the peak event 2362 01:58:16,907 --> 01:58:19,507 Speaker 4: that's in front of us, and so hence the guys 2363 01:58:19,547 --> 01:58:23,067 Speaker 4: who are contracted this time round with the Tea Twingy 2364 01:58:23,107 --> 01:58:25,347 Speaker 4: World Cup next year. You just want to have your 2365 01:58:25,387 --> 01:58:27,587 Speaker 4: best players available to play for your country, you know, 2366 01:58:27,787 --> 01:58:30,067 Speaker 4: And that's kind of what we try to achieve. We 2367 01:58:30,747 --> 01:58:34,227 Speaker 4: understand the landscapes changing and it's and it changes quickly, 2368 01:58:34,347 --> 01:58:35,907 Speaker 4: so we just want to be as flexible as we 2369 01:58:35,987 --> 01:58:40,827 Speaker 4: possibly can within either realms of contracting really, and it's 2370 01:58:41,227 --> 01:58:43,707 Speaker 4: it's not something that you can kind of make it 2371 01:58:43,867 --> 01:58:45,547 Speaker 4: to everyone. It's just have to do the best that 2372 01:58:45,627 --> 01:58:48,987 Speaker 4: you possibly can for everyone that's involved in the system. 2373 01:58:49,067 --> 01:58:52,627 Speaker 4: And so we certainly try and achieve that. But you know, 2374 01:58:52,707 --> 01:58:54,827 Speaker 4: guys are still committed to playing for for the black 2375 01:58:54,907 --> 01:58:57,507 Speaker 4: Caps and we see that when they come back into 2376 01:58:57,547 --> 01:59:00,147 Speaker 4: the environment, and so you know, we've got a group 2377 01:59:00,187 --> 01:59:02,587 Speaker 4: of players that are really hungry and want to do well. 2378 01:59:02,907 --> 01:59:05,187 Speaker 2: One of those on occasional playing agreement this season is 2379 01:59:05,227 --> 01:59:08,827 Speaker 2: King Williamson. He opted out of this current series against Australia. 2380 01:59:09,587 --> 01:59:11,587 Speaker 2: How often are we going to see Kane Williamson play 2381 01:59:11,627 --> 01:59:13,147 Speaker 2: for New Zealand over the next few months. 2382 01:59:14,787 --> 01:59:17,947 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that mc kane will be running out 2383 01:59:17,987 --> 01:59:20,667 Speaker 4: for the black Caps.

I mean, I think ultimately, 2414 02:00:49,827 --> 02:00:52,627 Speaker 4: you know, he's a bit bashed up and there's a 2415 02:00:52,707 --> 02:00:54,867 Speaker 4: you know, a wound that needs healing on his face 2416 02:00:54,907 --> 02:00:56,667 Speaker 4: and we didn't want to take any chancewers with that. 2417 02:00:58,227 --> 02:01:00,707 Speaker 4: But hopefully, you know, the healing takes place in the 2418 02:01:00,787 --> 02:01:03,107 Speaker 4: time frames that it shouldn't be see him back fairly soon. 2419 02:01:03,747 --> 02:01:05,707 Speaker 4: But it could have been a lot worse. 2420 02:01:05,747 --> 02:01:06,867 Speaker 7: But we still for him. 2421 02:01:07,027 --> 02:01:09,187 Speaker 4: I know how Desperty was to play this series, so 2422 02:01:09,987 --> 02:01:12,267 Speaker 4: I know he was highly highly disappointed when he when 2423 02:01:12,307 --> 02:01:12,987 Speaker 4: he wasn't able to. 2424 02:01:13,347 --> 02:01:15,787 Speaker 2: And your White Bull captain Mitchell Santner recovering from a 2425 02:01:15,987 --> 02:01:19,707 Speaker 2: sports hernia he suffered playing in the hundred in England. 2426 02:01:20,067 --> 02:01:22,147 Speaker 2: Has he been in and around this team, the team 2427 02:01:22,187 --> 02:01:22,547 Speaker 2: this week. 2428 02:01:23,307 --> 02:01:26,667 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been here for essentially, you know, the time 2429 02:01:26,747 --> 02:01:28,307 Speaker 4: as we've been in the Monk, he's been with us. 2430 02:01:28,347 --> 02:01:31,827 Speaker 4: It's obviously important for me having him around as a 2431 02:01:31,867 --> 02:01:35,827 Speaker 4: White Bull captain. Sometimes it's quite handy having him in 2432 02:01:35,867 --> 02:01:37,547 Speaker 4: the box with me while the game's going on, so 2433 02:01:37,587 --> 02:01:40,067 Speaker 4: we can talk, you know, strategy and I can understand 2434 02:01:40,107 --> 02:01:42,827 Speaker 4: what he sees from a captaincy point of view. So 2435 02:01:43,347 --> 02:01:46,347 Speaker 4: and then also just just chipping away his rehab and 2436 02:01:47,267 --> 02:01:48,907 Speaker 4: a little bit of cricker that he's able to do. 2437 02:01:49,067 --> 02:01:52,147 Speaker 4: So it's been it's been really good having him run 2438 02:01:52,267 --> 02:01:52,547 Speaker 4: all right. 2439 02:01:52,587 --> 02:01:54,507 Speaker 2: And I think I heard Lockie Ferguson was down for 2440 02:01:54,587 --> 02:01:57,187 Speaker 2: a bowl yesterday.
