1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Jason, you're in welcome back.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: That's good, Oh, thank you. Right, you're asking about whether

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: it had enough races. I think the answers no. He

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: was put in that seat because he was a good

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: driver and had plenty of mental resilience. They've given him

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: two races on unfamiliar tracks, one in the pouring rain

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 2: in Melbourne, and you know, for me, it's just too

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: small a sample size to make an assessment on whether

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: he can drive properly or not. And we're about to

10
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 2: get to Japan, a track he knows really well, and

11
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: they've taken the keys off him. So really poor form

12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: from red Ball. And you know you won't convince me

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: that your Kissanoda can drive a car that's set up

14
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: for Max, for staff and any better than Leam Lawson.

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: Can I stand to be corrected? He might prove me

16
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: wrong in Japan next week, but yeah, really poor poor

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: form from red Ball for me.

18
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Is it a short term decision? Do you think? Like

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: are they thinking about the long term? Because he's the

20
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: whole issues were the Honda and the car and their

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: relationship with red Ball going forward?

22
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean who knows it. Look that's the case.

23
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: Why didn't they put Sanoda in there from the start.

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: They were so worried about that. Look, they can't just

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: chop and change and say, okay, well can you get

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: a couple? Then were going to bring Liam back in

27
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: and then we'll chop and change in and out. They

28
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: have to make a decision one way or the other.

29
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: And maybe that's what this is. And Liam will drive

30
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: in the racing balls car for the rest of the

31
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: season and hopefully do very well. But yeah, I just

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: think is very short sighted. It's another example of the

33
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: instant gratification kind of mindset that exists an elite levels fort.

34
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Nobody's got any patients anymore. You know, I can't see

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: past the enner next week, so unfortunately Liam Lawson is

36
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: the victim of that at this time.

37
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: The casualty Round seven of SF Rugby this weekend. Any

38
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: upsets coming you reckon?

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think the Hurricanes will lose to the

40
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: war a Task tonight, even though the war Tas are

41
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: in better form. The warrit Tots haven't met the Hurricanes

42
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: for ten years. Don't see that changing in Wellington tonight.

43
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't imagine the Highlanders will beat the Brumbies later

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: on and I really can't see more in the Pacifica

45
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: getting up over the Crusaders, although I think most people

46
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: outside of christ You would like to see it. So,

47
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: you know, it all seems to go pretty much to

48
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: form across this weekend. But if the first six rounds

49
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: of Channa's anything, it's that upsets can happen. So let's

50
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: keep our fingers crossed from one to PACIFICA to beat

51
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: the Crusaders on on Saturday night.

52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,280
