0:01:30.613 --> 0:01:33.093
<v Speaker 3>Get a true sense of what on the sink he

0:01:33.213 --> 0:01:33.773
<v Speaker 3>was actually like.

0:01:33.853 --> 0:01:37.373
<v Speaker 4>So Corpobo can just bring about of knowledge and things

0:01:37.373 --> 0:01:39.213
<v Speaker 4>I've learned in the sevens environment.

0:01:38.853 --> 0:01:41.653
<v Speaker 3>And help out with her there and hopefully bring him

0:01:41.653 --> 0:01:42.253
<v Speaker 3>another title.

0:01:42.773 --> 0:01:45.253
<v Speaker 2>Expect the key we to take their chances with the

0:01:45.253 --> 0:01:49.773
<v Speaker 2>ball in hand in Saturday specific championship game against Tonga.

0:01:50.053 --> 0:01:53.213
<v Speaker 2>That mounts smart. That's the view from former international coach

0:01:53.253 --> 0:01:57.533
<v Speaker 2>Frank Endicott after New Zealand's tournament opening defeat. The hands

0:01:57.693 --> 0:01:59.453
<v Speaker 2>of the Australians.

0:01:58.893 --> 0:02:01.373
<v Speaker 5>Say she did what he could with so many first

0:02:01.413 --> 0:02:04.733
<v Speaker 5>starters and they played the game pretty conservative to be honest,

0:02:04.933 --> 0:02:07.293
<v Speaker 5>He gauged Tonga they might just have a little bit

0:02:07.373 --> 0:02:10.493
<v Speaker 5>more confidence and up the game a bit more, maybe

0:02:10.533 --> 0:02:13.093
<v Speaker 5>with a little bit more second phase play and ask

0:02:13.173 --> 0:02:15.293
<v Speaker 5>more questions to the tongue and defense.

0:02:15.173 --> 0:02:18.813
<v Speaker 2>And Australian Bretna Robinson will take New Zealand's three votes

0:02:18.853 --> 0:02:22.293
<v Speaker 2>at the World at Rugby Electoral College next month. The

0:02:22.333 --> 0:02:25.293
<v Speaker 2>former Wallaby has been given the tick of approval by

0:02:25.573 --> 0:02:29.293
<v Speaker 2>n z ARE. Speaking to News Talk zb's Rugby Direct

0:02:29.333 --> 0:02:33.373
<v Speaker 2>in London into our chief executive Mark Robinson says. Robinson's

0:02:33.453 --> 0:02:34.973
<v Speaker 2>vision is the pick.

0:02:35.213 --> 0:02:39.373
<v Speaker 6>We've had conversations with them through last little while.

0:02:39.933 --> 0:02:42.613
<v Speaker 2>When we look at again where we see the future

0:02:42.653 --> 0:02:45.733
<v Speaker 2>of the game Brits, it's just a strong candidate leading

0:02:45.773 --> 0:02:46.213
<v Speaker 2>of X.

0:02:46.533 --> 0:02:47.853
<v Speaker 6>We've got just the ticket.

0:02:48.293 --> 0:02:50.973
<v Speaker 1>It's sports fixed by News Talks ZV.

0:02:52.573 --> 0:02:55.733
<v Speaker 2>And it's warm. Welcome to the programmer, to Greg Murphy

0:02:55.853 --> 0:02:58.053
<v Speaker 2>and a Murph welcome on and I trust.

0:02:57.813 --> 0:03:00.733
<v Speaker 3>You well, so I am thank you.

0:03:00.733 --> 0:03:03.333
<v Speaker 2>You'll be taking keen interest in Formula one. I think

0:03:03.373 --> 0:03:05.413
<v Speaker 2>a lot of New Zealanders are now we've got our

0:03:05.493 --> 0:03:09.333
<v Speaker 2>tenth driver in there, Liam Lawson's he's shaking things up

0:03:09.333 --> 0:03:11.893
<v Speaker 2>a little bit and I suppose that a little video

0:03:11.933 --> 0:03:15.293
<v Speaker 2>of him flipping the bird is something that has really

0:03:15.333 --> 0:03:18.053
<v Speaker 2>piqued the interest of a lot of people. Are the

0:03:18.133 --> 0:03:20.773
<v Speaker 2>aggression there? Should he apologize for that?

0:03:20.893 --> 0:03:21.453
<v Speaker 6>Do you think?

0:03:22.373 --> 0:03:22.973
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:03:23.053 --> 0:03:27.693
<v Speaker 3>It's a PC world we live in, mate, which is

0:03:27.733 --> 0:03:28.373
<v Speaker 3>a real shame.

0:03:29.253 --> 0:03:31.973
<v Speaker 4>So you know, you go and do something like that,

0:03:32.013 --> 0:03:34.973
<v Speaker 4>which is great, it's great for the excitement of the sport,

0:03:35.133 --> 0:03:37.133
<v Speaker 4>but it controvers you all the stuff, all the things

0:03:37.213 --> 0:03:40.533
<v Speaker 4>we need to stay interested in things these days and

0:03:40.573 --> 0:03:46.373
<v Speaker 4>then someone or he obviously maybe thought that they wouldn't

0:03:46.413 --> 0:03:49.413
<v Speaker 4>see him do it. You know, it's going, oh, maybe

0:03:49.813 --> 0:03:51.373
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't a good thing to do, and.

0:03:51.373 --> 0:03:54.813
<v Speaker 3>I was it good for the brand and blah blah blah.

0:03:54.453 --> 0:03:57.773
<v Speaker 4>And next minute you're apologizing. I'm sure he hasn't changed

0:03:57.773 --> 0:04:01.653
<v Speaker 4>his thoughts around why he did it, and I thought

0:04:01.693 --> 0:04:04.053
<v Speaker 4>it was fantastic. You know, It's like there was a

0:04:04.133 --> 0:04:06.053
<v Speaker 4>bit of a riff going on there during the race

0:04:06.093 --> 0:04:08.733
<v Speaker 4>between the two of them. Sergio didn't hold back on

0:04:08.853 --> 0:04:11.013
<v Speaker 4>what he thought of Liam called him an idiot. So

0:04:12.093 --> 0:04:15.813
<v Speaker 4>I think giving him this middle figure is only justification,

0:04:15.893 --> 0:04:19.453
<v Speaker 4>perfect justification. So anyway, that's as I say, it's this

0:04:20.093 --> 0:04:22.733
<v Speaker 4>pathetic world that we currently live in these days.

0:04:22.733 --> 0:04:25.173
<v Speaker 3>You can't can't do things like that. Someone will be offended.

0:04:25.373 --> 0:04:27.053
<v Speaker 2>How would you an ambrose go on the day and

0:04:27.133 --> 0:04:27.853
<v Speaker 2>age do you think?

0:04:28.213 --> 0:04:31.933
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, I'd be fine because I don't care

0:04:31.973 --> 0:04:34.653
<v Speaker 4>about social media and that respect, and I'm not worried

0:04:34.693 --> 0:04:36.493
<v Speaker 4>about what people's opinions are.

0:04:36.493 --> 0:04:38.413
<v Speaker 3>I didn't worry back then and I don't care now.

0:04:38.493 --> 0:04:41.253
<v Speaker 4>It's people can say whatever they like preferred if they've

0:04:41.293 --> 0:04:42.693
<v Speaker 4>got an opinion to come up and sat to my

0:04:42.773 --> 0:04:47.093
<v Speaker 4>face and then hide behind it on a computer screen.

0:04:47.133 --> 0:04:51.813
<v Speaker 4>But unfortunately that's the way it's done these days. So

0:04:52.573 --> 0:04:57.373
<v Speaker 4>you know, yeah, social media has caused caused no end

0:04:57.413 --> 0:05:03.253
<v Speaker 4>of controversy around its own own self for allowing allowing

0:05:03.293 --> 0:05:07.653
<v Speaker 4>things to be said I suppose that shouldn't be and and.

0:05:06.933 --> 0:05:11.453
<v Speaker 3>Then people's opinions, Yeah, you're taking putting weight behind the

0:05:11.533 --> 0:05:15.053
<v Speaker 3>wrong the wrong thing. So it is what it is. Mate.

0:05:15.293 --> 0:05:16.333
<v Speaker 3>He's doing a great job.

0:05:16.773 --> 0:05:19.013
<v Speaker 4>He's doing everything that he needs to do Liam to

0:05:19.573 --> 0:05:22.013
<v Speaker 4>give the team no option but to promote him to

0:05:22.133 --> 0:05:26.573
<v Speaker 4>that top step. And Pereza's doing everything he possibly can to.

0:05:25.933 --> 0:05:27.213
<v Speaker 3>To justify that decision.

0:05:27.373 --> 0:05:30.453
<v Speaker 4>I mean, someone of it's been enough one that long

0:05:30.573 --> 0:05:33.413
<v Speaker 4>to be knocked out in Q one in that car

0:05:34.093 --> 0:05:36.693
<v Speaker 4>when your teammates, you know, on the front row and

0:05:36.733 --> 0:05:41.493
<v Speaker 4>then go and park your car over your grid box.

0:05:42.093 --> 0:05:44.173
<v Speaker 3>And then act like you didn't do it.

0:05:44.493 --> 0:05:48.573
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's someone who's long overdue for either retiring

0:05:48.653 --> 0:05:51.173
<v Speaker 4>or replacement, certainly from a team like Red Bull. So

0:05:51.573 --> 0:05:55.693
<v Speaker 4>he's under pressure and it's it's pretty obvious, obvious really

0:05:55.733 --> 0:05:57.533
<v Speaker 4>that Red Bull needs to make the shift now. And

0:05:57.573 --> 0:06:00.053
<v Speaker 4>I think even Christian Horne has maybe run out of

0:06:00.093 --> 0:06:02.573
<v Speaker 4>patience with it as well. So Liam just keep doing

0:06:02.613 --> 0:06:03.693
<v Speaker 4>what he's doing. He'll be fine.

0:06:03.693 --> 0:06:07.053
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully it's storming a tea cup. It'll be forgotten soon.

0:06:07.093 --> 0:06:09.573
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a lot of excan nationals to get

0:06:09.573 --> 0:06:12.053
<v Speaker 2>really upset by the fact Checko's gone hor you know,

0:06:12.133 --> 0:06:15.013
<v Speaker 2>Checko's not very happy, so they were piling into them.

0:06:15.373 --> 0:06:16.893
<v Speaker 2>I understand where it comes from.

0:06:16.973 --> 0:06:18.733
<v Speaker 4>Are they really I have not, As I say, I

0:06:18.773 --> 0:06:21.333
<v Speaker 4>don't pay any attention. So if that's the case, it's

0:06:21.333 --> 0:06:22.093
<v Speaker 4>not worth listening to.

0:06:22.453 --> 0:06:25.093
<v Speaker 2>Oh I'm watching it because I can't help myself. I'm

0:06:25.093 --> 0:06:27.613
<v Speaker 2>addicted to all of it. With Liam though, and what

0:06:27.693 --> 0:06:30.493
<v Speaker 2>he's done, there's there's words now from Checko saying he's

0:06:30.533 --> 0:06:34.013
<v Speaker 2>got to show more respect Fernando Alonso. He's not respectful that.

0:06:35.053 --> 0:06:38.653
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that for a second. You don't earn

0:06:38.773 --> 0:06:39.933
<v Speaker 2>respect like that.

0:06:39.973 --> 0:06:41.573
<v Speaker 3>You respect my winning Fernando.

0:06:41.933 --> 0:06:44.413
<v Speaker 4>Fernando Alonso will be will be more impressed by the

0:06:44.453 --> 0:06:47.453
<v Speaker 4>fact that Liam, you know, is treating him just like

0:06:47.493 --> 0:06:51.493
<v Speaker 4>everyone else. So I wouldn't be wouldn't be listening to

0:06:51.493 --> 0:06:53.893
<v Speaker 4>what Checko's got to say and giving his opinion on

0:06:53.933 --> 0:06:57.333
<v Speaker 4>what someone else thinks. Right now, as I say he's

0:06:57.173 --> 0:06:59.453
<v Speaker 4>the statements he's making and the way he's going on

0:07:00.093 --> 0:07:02.493
<v Speaker 4>is based on someone who's under a huge amount of

0:07:02.493 --> 0:07:05.133
<v Speaker 4>pressure to perform and proven that he's not capable.

0:07:05.693 --> 0:07:07.893
<v Speaker 3>So, you know, I'm sure Fernando an.

0:07:07.853 --> 0:07:12.013
<v Speaker 4>So has respect for the fact that Liam is racing

0:07:12.493 --> 0:07:15.053
<v Speaker 4>him as hard as what he was. And and you know,

0:07:15.093 --> 0:07:18.733
<v Speaker 4>when you're a double world champion and you're fighting rookie

0:07:19.253 --> 0:07:23.413
<v Speaker 4>back in his you know, it's back at secutive Americas

0:07:23.413 --> 0:07:25.493
<v Speaker 4>the other week in Texas. He's in the car for

0:07:25.533 --> 0:07:30.173
<v Speaker 4>the first time this year and he's fighting Alonso. I

0:07:30.213 --> 0:07:33.133
<v Speaker 4>think that's more about of frustration by Alonso, who should

0:07:33.213 --> 0:07:34.933
<v Speaker 4>who believes he should be further up the grip.

0:07:35.053 --> 0:07:36.853
<v Speaker 3>You read between the lines, you know, I've got to

0:07:36.893 --> 0:07:37.693
<v Speaker 3>read between the lines.

0:07:37.773 --> 0:07:39.773
<v Speaker 4>If one at the moment is very popular, it gets

0:07:39.813 --> 0:07:42.933
<v Speaker 4>lots of attention and lots of people have opinions about it,

0:07:43.533 --> 0:07:46.413
<v Speaker 4>and that's what we want. But you know, don't get

0:07:46.493 --> 0:07:50.093
<v Speaker 4>too carried away and believing everything you know that you

0:07:50.133 --> 0:07:54.653
<v Speaker 4>read or hear either because it doesn't in the greater

0:07:54.733 --> 0:07:56.373
<v Speaker 4>scheme of the thing. It doesn't stand for a lot

0:07:56.493 --> 0:07:57.093
<v Speaker 4>moving forward.

0:07:57.493 --> 0:08:00.453
<v Speaker 2>You know, Liam, you know what he's done this the

0:08:00.493 --> 0:08:03.213
<v Speaker 2>way he races, and I think he races with respect.

0:08:03.413 --> 0:08:06.333
<v Speaker 2>When he's on the track. He doesn't go out of control,

0:08:06.413 --> 0:08:09.613
<v Speaker 2>but he races with a massive amount of aggression, and

0:08:09.653 --> 0:08:12.493
<v Speaker 2>we've seen that right the way through his serious As

0:08:12.493 --> 0:08:15.053
<v Speaker 2>he builds up towards Formula One, he doesn't appear to

0:08:15.093 --> 0:08:17.373
<v Speaker 2>have changed. He backs himself. He knows what he do.

0:08:17.533 --> 0:08:20.373
<v Speaker 2>He can drive a wide car and he's got well,

0:08:20.533 --> 0:08:23.653
<v Speaker 2>he's got nuts, hasn't he great? He really has.

0:08:24.573 --> 0:08:26.853
<v Speaker 4>The big difference is he hasn't bought brought his way

0:08:26.853 --> 0:08:28.053
<v Speaker 4>into into anything.

0:08:28.093 --> 0:08:28.693
<v Speaker 3>He's done.

0:08:28.853 --> 0:08:32.093
<v Speaker 4>He's did on merit. So he's driving a Formula one

0:08:32.133 --> 0:08:35.333
<v Speaker 4>car on merit. He's a lot of drivers in that

0:08:35.373 --> 0:08:39.293
<v Speaker 4>field who have bought their seat there and would like

0:08:39.333 --> 0:08:42.413
<v Speaker 4>everyone to believe that they hadn't haven't. So you know,

0:08:42.493 --> 0:08:44.413
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if we even need to justify it

0:08:44.453 --> 0:08:47.573
<v Speaker 4>in any other way. He is there because he is

0:08:47.853 --> 0:08:50.493
<v Speaker 4>a fantastic race car driver with the potential to be

0:08:50.573 --> 0:08:52.533
<v Speaker 4>one of the best of all time. So you know,

0:08:52.613 --> 0:08:54.253
<v Speaker 4>that's why he's there, and that's why Red Buller put

0:08:54.293 --> 0:08:56.853
<v Speaker 4>him in a car. So if that wasn't the case,

0:08:56.973 --> 0:08:57.813
<v Speaker 4>what's he doing there.

0:08:58.173 --> 0:09:00.973
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to disagree with you for one New

0:09:01.053 --> 0:09:03.813
<v Speaker 2>York minute on that one. I think he's fantastic, But

0:09:04.293 --> 0:09:07.093
<v Speaker 2>his behavior to me, I was like, well, it is

0:09:07.133 --> 0:09:10.253
<v Speaker 2>what it is. I'm not exactly in love with that.

0:09:10.413 --> 0:09:12.933
<v Speaker 2>But it wasn't like he crashed into the side of someone.

0:09:12.973 --> 0:09:16.413
<v Speaker 2>He didn't get in anyone's way. It was a quick

0:09:16.573 --> 0:09:20.453
<v Speaker 2>bubbed upright finger, That's all it was. And I'm off racing.

0:09:19.413 --> 0:09:21.173
<v Speaker 2>It's nothing.

0:09:21.253 --> 0:09:24.773
<v Speaker 4>I mean, just you know, the if you can drag

0:09:24.853 --> 0:09:27.893
<v Speaker 4>something on for a long time and not have to

0:09:27.893 --> 0:09:28.933
<v Speaker 4>go and actually do some.

0:09:28.853 --> 0:09:31.893
<v Speaker 3>Real work, which is the case for a lot of journalism.

0:09:31.413 --> 0:09:33.693
<v Speaker 4>These days, then you know that's what they'll do because

0:09:33.693 --> 0:09:36.693
<v Speaker 4>it's a it's an easy thing to keep regurgitating.

0:09:36.853 --> 0:09:39.813
<v Speaker 3>So it really means nothing in the great scheme of things.

0:09:39.853 --> 0:09:41.373
<v Speaker 4>It's just to move on to the next one, which

0:09:41.373 --> 0:09:43.053
<v Speaker 4>will be good because it will be it.

0:09:43.053 --> 0:09:45.293
<v Speaker 3>We'll be at Brazil this weekend.

0:09:45.493 --> 0:09:49.133
<v Speaker 4>Albeit I'm sure the Sky TV people and everybody else

0:09:49.133 --> 0:09:51.933
<v Speaker 4>that does the coverage for Formula one will will drag

0:09:51.973 --> 0:09:53.773
<v Speaker 4>it out and make a big deal of it this

0:09:53.813 --> 0:09:58.333
<v Speaker 4>week because it's it is some kind of story. So anyway,

0:09:58.413 --> 0:10:01.573
<v Speaker 4>he'll be focused on actually just going this weekend to

0:10:01.653 --> 0:10:04.333
<v Speaker 4>sal Paula and putting in another great performance.

0:10:04.733 --> 0:10:07.533
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure upping the anty and I love the sound

0:10:07.613 --> 0:10:10.053
<v Speaker 2>effects and the crown with a fly. Greg mn if

0:10:10.093 --> 0:10:12.133
<v Speaker 2>you always could get your opinions, thanks very much for

0:10:12.213 --> 0:10:12.973
<v Speaker 2>joining the program.

0:10:12.973 --> 0:10:15.493
<v Speaker 3>You go well, look after yourself.

0:10:15.933 --> 0:10:16.373
<v Speaker 7>A vix.

0:10:16.733 --> 0:10:18.093
<v Speaker 6>We've got just the ticket.

0:10:18.453 --> 0:10:21.053
<v Speaker 1>It's Sports Vix powered by News Talks Ivy.

0:10:22.493 --> 0:10:25.533
<v Speaker 2>He didn't see that coming, did you. In fact, nobody did,

0:10:26.013 --> 0:10:29.453
<v Speaker 2>with the exception of the Silver Ferns themselves and of

0:10:29.493 --> 0:10:34.453
<v Speaker 2>course their coaching staff led by Dame Nolin Todua. After

0:10:34.813 --> 0:10:37.773
<v Speaker 2>flashing the Dunny on the Diamonds in the first two

0:10:37.813 --> 0:10:41.973
<v Speaker 2>exchanges in New Zealand, it was roundly expected that the

0:10:42.093 --> 0:10:45.893
<v Speaker 2>Diamonds would turn up and show the Silver Ferns just

0:10:46.213 --> 0:10:49.333
<v Speaker 2>whose boss they showed up or right in Perth, But

0:10:49.413 --> 0:10:53.573
<v Speaker 2>they didn't show the silver Ferns anything. A tight enough

0:10:53.653 --> 0:10:55.853
<v Speaker 2>tussle if you will, But at the end of the day,

0:10:55.933 --> 0:11:00.453
<v Speaker 2>the superior silky skills and the speed of the Silver

0:11:00.573 --> 0:11:04.813
<v Speaker 2>Ferns proved too much for the Assie team to deal with. Yeah,

0:11:04.853 --> 0:11:08.173
<v Speaker 2>and let's not forget the absolute weapon under the net.

0:11:08.493 --> 0:11:12.133
<v Speaker 2>Someone we're going to lose for a year. Grace Weke

0:11:12.573 --> 0:11:16.213
<v Speaker 2>is turning into one of the most outstanding netballers of

0:11:16.453 --> 0:11:20.373
<v Speaker 2>modern times. I think that coming up tomorrow when the

0:11:20.413 --> 0:11:24.333
<v Speaker 2>Silver Ferns try and sweep the Australian Diamonds, it would

0:11:24.373 --> 0:11:28.413
<v Speaker 2>be great to see some changes within the lineup of

0:11:28.493 --> 0:11:31.693
<v Speaker 2>the Silver Ferns and try and work on the possibility

0:11:31.893 --> 0:11:36.293
<v Speaker 2>of not having Grace Wiki, which is a distinct possibility

0:11:36.613 --> 0:11:39.213
<v Speaker 2>either through injury or if they don't let her play

0:11:39.293 --> 0:11:42.893
<v Speaker 2>when she disappears off and plays over in Australia. But

0:11:42.973 --> 0:11:46.373
<v Speaker 2>aside her, what a joy to watch in mid court,

0:11:46.453 --> 0:11:49.293
<v Speaker 2>What a joy to watch Dave nol Lean enjoy the

0:11:49.373 --> 0:11:53.733
<v Speaker 2>proceedings from the sideline after some pretty tough time she's

0:11:53.813 --> 0:11:56.933
<v Speaker 2>been through. But look the players, they retool, they had

0:11:56.933 --> 0:11:59.373
<v Speaker 2>a look at what went horribly wrong and they've now

0:11:59.413 --> 0:12:02.693
<v Speaker 2>made it look horribly right. There is new energy in

0:12:02.693 --> 0:12:06.213
<v Speaker 2>international netball and you've got to thank the Silver Ferns

0:12:06.573 --> 0:12:10.293
<v Speaker 2>for that. Can't wait, I have to, of course, until

0:12:10.333 --> 0:12:13.333
<v Speaker 2>the fourth and final. I'd like to see something change

0:12:13.333 --> 0:12:16.573
<v Speaker 2>as far as the athletes, but are also really like

0:12:16.653 --> 0:12:20.013
<v Speaker 2>to see a clean sweep, which is something I'd also

0:12:20.093 --> 0:12:22.493
<v Speaker 2>like to see the black Caps do come their third

0:12:22.493 --> 0:12:25.733
<v Speaker 2>and final Test match against the Indians. What a time

0:12:25.773 --> 0:12:27.573
<v Speaker 2>it is to be a Kiwi sports fan.

0:12:28.093 --> 0:12:31.493
<v Speaker 1>The Chamber is now in session on Sportsfix.

0:12:33.533 --> 0:12:35.853
<v Speaker 2>We'll join now in the chamber on the Lena by

0:12:36.013 --> 0:12:39.773
<v Speaker 2>Digital Sport editor for he Zellen Herald, Alex Powell. Alex,

0:12:39.893 --> 0:12:43.373
<v Speaker 2>welcome on and I trust you're well Aim. Were you

0:12:43.613 --> 0:12:47.013
<v Speaker 2>as weirded out by the concept of n Z are

0:12:47.493 --> 0:12:51.133
<v Speaker 2>stealing Cam George? It's a rumor that's since been dispelled,

0:12:51.133 --> 0:12:54.413
<v Speaker 2>but my ear is peked when I saw this one. Well,

0:12:54.453 --> 0:12:56.253
<v Speaker 2>when I heard this one, what do you make of that?

0:12:56.293 --> 0:12:56.733
<v Speaker 2>And welcome?

0:12:56.813 --> 0:12:59.493
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, thanks having me mate, I know it made perfect sense.

0:12:59.573 --> 0:13:02.493
<v Speaker 7>Cam George has done incredible things commercially with the Warriors.

0:13:02.533 --> 0:13:04.853
<v Speaker 7>You look at where they are as a club and

0:13:04.893 --> 0:13:07.053
<v Speaker 7>I guess as a franchise what they're doing outside of

0:13:07.053 --> 0:13:09.813
<v Speaker 7>the sport with opening a bar. If NSI are about

0:13:09.853 --> 0:13:13.013
<v Speaker 7>finding new revenue streams, then why not go to Cameron George?

0:13:13.093 --> 0:13:15.973
<v Speaker 2>How would the league community feel about that? Or is

0:13:15.973 --> 0:13:18.693
<v Speaker 2>it all love more and no one actually cares whose

0:13:18.773 --> 0:13:19.573
<v Speaker 2>side who's on?

0:13:19.813 --> 0:13:22.413
<v Speaker 7>I imagine that'd probably be feeling the same way the trackside

0:13:22.493 --> 0:13:24.533
<v Speaker 7>racing community felt when Cam George left there to go

0:13:24.613 --> 0:13:25.253
<v Speaker 7>to the Warriors.

0:13:26.653 --> 0:13:28.573
<v Speaker 2>Well, you want the best but insit, I said, now

0:13:28.613 --> 0:13:30.333
<v Speaker 2>it's not happening, So does that mean it is?

0:13:30.973 --> 0:13:31.733
<v Speaker 6>I mean, who knows.

0:13:32.413 --> 0:13:34.813
<v Speaker 7>Cam George was also pretty steadfast that he hadn't been

0:13:34.813 --> 0:13:36.093
<v Speaker 7>approached whether or not.

0:13:36.053 --> 0:13:38.133
<v Speaker 6>Cam George would want to leave the Warriors right now.

0:13:38.133 --> 0:13:39.733
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you look at the squad that they've got

0:13:39.773 --> 0:13:42.813
<v Speaker 7>on paper for twenty twenty five, you'd say the window

0:13:42.853 --> 0:13:45.213
<v Speaker 7>for them to actually want a premiership is probably only

0:13:45.253 --> 0:13:49.133
<v Speaker 7>about two years two years wide. So if he's going

0:13:49.173 --> 0:13:51.013
<v Speaker 7>to up sticks now and then they go to win

0:13:51.053 --> 0:13:52.893
<v Speaker 7>the comp at you know, twenty five or twenty six,

0:13:52.893 --> 0:13:54.373
<v Speaker 7>he's going to look a bit silly as he goes

0:13:54.373 --> 0:13:57.213
<v Speaker 7>to try and dig enz there NZR out of the doldrums.

0:13:57.493 --> 0:14:01.013
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm personally between me and you and everybody listening

0:14:01.013 --> 0:14:03.813
<v Speaker 2>to this. I'm involved in sport. I'm not going anywhere

0:14:03.933 --> 0:14:06.493
<v Speaker 2>near z Are right now. It looks like a poison

0:14:06.533 --> 0:14:10.933
<v Speaker 2>to tell us. That's another story though. On incidentally, I

0:14:10.973 --> 0:14:13.653
<v Speaker 2>had a dream earlier this morning that Cam George wrung

0:14:13.693 --> 0:14:15.453
<v Speaker 2>me up, this is about quarter to six in the

0:14:15.533 --> 0:14:18.173
<v Speaker 2>morning and said, Dars, I've got some big news. Let's

0:14:18.213 --> 0:14:22.173
<v Speaker 2>record now. Dream ended, And then that happened when I

0:14:22.213 --> 0:14:24.573
<v Speaker 2>walked into work how twilight zone is that.

0:14:25.453 --> 0:14:27.293
<v Speaker 6>I mean, if you gave a dream about me winning Lotto,

0:14:27.333 --> 0:14:28.093
<v Speaker 6>then if that's how it.

0:14:28.053 --> 0:14:30.613
<v Speaker 2>Goes, okay. I tend not to dream about my colleagues.

0:14:30.613 --> 0:14:34.493
<v Speaker 2>I do dream about winning Formula One, as does Liam Lawson.

0:14:34.933 --> 0:14:37.493
<v Speaker 2>Still want to teake up? Well, I really think it is.

0:14:37.773 --> 0:14:40.093
<v Speaker 2>It wouldn't have been my reactions. I've come down a

0:14:40.093 --> 0:14:43.213
<v Speaker 2>lot now on the road. But like he casually flicked

0:14:43.213 --> 0:14:47.493
<v Speaker 2>the bird, flipped the bird, excuse me up at Sasjo

0:14:47.653 --> 0:14:50.973
<v Speaker 2>Paris whilst passing passing him. Nothing to see here.

0:14:50.933 --> 0:14:53.453
<v Speaker 7>Right, I mean it's standard in terms of the incidents

0:14:53.493 --> 0:14:55.293
<v Speaker 7>that will go down in Formula on history that barely

0:14:55.373 --> 0:14:56.413
<v Speaker 7>scratched as the surface.

0:14:56.453 --> 0:14:57.293
<v Speaker 6>Although I will put.

0:14:57.133 --> 0:14:58.693
<v Speaker 7>It to you you and I have both covered and

0:14:58.733 --> 0:15:00.693
<v Speaker 7>dealt with Lim since he was a teenager. He's now

0:15:00.813 --> 0:15:02.733
<v Speaker 7>twenty two. How good to see the bit of a

0:15:02.813 --> 0:15:04.733
<v Speaker 7>dark side come out. You know he's got his elbows

0:15:04.733 --> 0:15:06.533
<v Speaker 7>out in the last two races. He's showing he's not

0:15:06.573 --> 0:15:07.453
<v Speaker 7>here to make friends.

0:15:07.613 --> 0:15:09.933
<v Speaker 2>No, I've seen racing that as you would have done

0:15:09.973 --> 0:15:12.693
<v Speaker 2>as well. And once the visor goes down, the lights

0:15:12.773 --> 0:15:15.613
<v Speaker 2>go he's on. He gets his elbows out like the

0:15:15.613 --> 0:15:17.893
<v Speaker 2>best of them. And he will not take a backward step.

0:15:17.933 --> 0:15:21.293
<v Speaker 2>You're like you asked Marcus Armstrong some of the tussles

0:15:21.333 --> 0:15:24.813
<v Speaker 2>they had in TRS and Formula too. This is not

0:15:25.013 --> 0:15:28.493
<v Speaker 2>unusual the gesture. Maybe it was, but heat of the moment, yeah.

0:15:28.373 --> 0:15:30.053
<v Speaker 7>Heat of the moment. I mean you look at the

0:15:30.653 --> 0:15:34.733
<v Speaker 7>race vision from Liam's onboard. Peris was trying to slow

0:15:34.773 --> 0:15:36.893
<v Speaker 7>him down. He was trying to ruin Liam's weekend, just

0:15:36.933 --> 0:15:38.773
<v Speaker 7>like Limb had done to him a few laps earlier.

0:15:38.813 --> 0:15:41.613
<v Speaker 7>So I'm completely team lost them from this, and I

0:15:41.653 --> 0:15:44.093
<v Speaker 7>am very biased because, like I've said, I've covered Limb

0:15:44.133 --> 0:15:45.613
<v Speaker 7>for a long time and wanted to do well.

0:15:46.053 --> 0:15:47.133
<v Speaker 6>But I mean, just move on.

0:15:47.213 --> 0:15:49.693
<v Speaker 7>I mean all of Mexico has now flooded Liam's social

0:15:49.733 --> 0:15:52.253
<v Speaker 7>media and abusing him left right in the center in Spanish,

0:15:52.613 --> 0:15:53.573
<v Speaker 7>let's just scrab up, guys.

0:15:54.253 --> 0:15:57.293
<v Speaker 2>I think the biggest issue here for Red Bulls not

0:15:57.333 --> 0:16:00.373
<v Speaker 2>the behavior of the young racing bull driver, but it's

0:16:00.453 --> 0:16:03.893
<v Speaker 2>the behavior and the lack of talent shown by Yuki

0:16:04.053 --> 0:16:09.333
<v Speaker 2>Sonoda and of course Sergio Perris. They have absolutely stumbled.

0:16:09.333 --> 0:16:12.373
<v Speaker 2>They're being crushed under the pressure. Just look at their

0:16:12.373 --> 0:16:14.933
<v Speaker 2>results of recent times. They ain't dealing with this very

0:16:14.933 --> 0:16:17.053
<v Speaker 2>well at all, are they? That's the big issue.

0:16:17.853 --> 0:16:19.213
<v Speaker 6>I think that's harsh on Yuki.

0:16:19.293 --> 0:16:22.413
<v Speaker 7>Yuki has shown all weekend in Mexico that he was quirk,

0:16:22.453 --> 0:16:24.373
<v Speaker 7>but once you know, he crashed and qualifying and then

0:16:24.373 --> 0:16:27.933
<v Speaker 7>crashed again in the race. Perryes knows that his jobs

0:16:27.973 --> 0:16:29.933
<v Speaker 7>not safe here, doesn't he his actions all weekend?

0:16:30.013 --> 0:16:30.853
<v Speaker 6>He was not quirk.

0:16:30.893 --> 0:16:32.693
<v Speaker 7>He got a lot of fanfare for a driver that

0:16:32.773 --> 0:16:36.293
<v Speaker 7>qualified eighteenth. I was sim I would be looking over

0:16:36.373 --> 0:16:38.293
<v Speaker 7>both shoulders at Lamb laws and coming for his job

0:16:38.333 --> 0:16:39.173
<v Speaker 7>in twenty twenty five.

0:16:39.333 --> 0:16:42.133
<v Speaker 2>You're on an overreaction. How about the Australian media over

0:16:42.293 --> 0:16:46.213
<v Speaker 2>reaction wasn't overreaction. They just got absolutely slapped in the

0:16:46.293 --> 0:16:50.493
<v Speaker 2>face by the Silver Ferns who up and dominated the

0:16:50.573 --> 0:16:54.253
<v Speaker 2>Diamonds again, but this time at a home court for

0:16:54.293 --> 0:16:56.053
<v Speaker 2>the Aussie don't I very much? Do they?

0:16:56.093 --> 0:16:56.213
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:16:56.253 --> 0:16:57.653
<v Speaker 7>I mean remember a couple of years ago when the

0:16:57.653 --> 0:16:59.933
<v Speaker 7>Silver Ferns won both of those tests in New Zealand

0:16:59.973 --> 0:17:02.453
<v Speaker 7>and then completely lost it over the ditch. So a

0:17:02.693 --> 0:17:04.813
<v Speaker 7>how good is it see that Daniel en Turu and

0:17:04.853 --> 0:17:07.173
<v Speaker 7>her coaching staff have been able to fix that in

0:17:07.253 --> 0:17:10.213
<v Speaker 7>this window. You're right, they don't like losing, then not

0:17:10.253 --> 0:17:12.213
<v Speaker 7>they will accept you know, are lost in new Zeands,

0:17:12.213 --> 0:17:14.093
<v Speaker 7>but not three and definitely not three in a row.

0:17:14.213 --> 0:17:16.853
<v Speaker 2>They're going to come back firing or do you think

0:17:16.853 --> 0:17:19.693
<v Speaker 2>it's all over lights out in Melbourne? Because I would

0:17:19.733 --> 0:17:22.293
<v Speaker 2>like to see, and I've talked about this in my

0:17:22.413 --> 0:17:26.093
<v Speaker 2>opinion piece, maybe a slight change up and look to

0:17:26.093 --> 0:17:28.293
<v Speaker 2>see what else they can do under the net. Because

0:17:28.333 --> 0:17:30.653
<v Speaker 2>Grace wiki as good as she is, she ain't going

0:17:30.693 --> 0:17:33.293
<v Speaker 2>to be around forever and if they don't give a dispensation,

0:17:33.493 --> 0:17:35.093
<v Speaker 2>she's not going to be around for a whole year.

0:17:35.173 --> 0:17:38.293
<v Speaker 2>So maybe a bit of room to test the waters.

0:17:38.333 --> 0:17:41.573
<v Speaker 6>Elex, I see that, But I raise your four nil.

0:17:42.253 --> 0:17:44.613
<v Speaker 7>You know how good would it be to be the

0:17:44.653 --> 0:17:46.693
<v Speaker 7>first silver fir in stent to go over and completely

0:17:46.773 --> 0:17:48.173
<v Speaker 7>whitewash them in the modern era?

0:17:48.773 --> 0:17:51.733
<v Speaker 2>Well, maybe whitewash them in the first three quarters and

0:17:51.773 --> 0:17:54.773
<v Speaker 2>then when it's beyond reproach, they led someone else in

0:17:54.853 --> 0:17:56.493
<v Speaker 2>to finish the job. How about that.

0:17:56.613 --> 0:17:57.973
<v Speaker 7>Let's look at that with the shoe on the other

0:17:58.013 --> 0:18:00.373
<v Speaker 7>foot though, if that's Australia to us three and up,

0:18:00.413 --> 0:18:02.253
<v Speaker 7>they're not taking their foot off the gas by any means,

0:18:02.293 --> 0:18:02.573
<v Speaker 7>are they.

0:18:02.613 --> 0:18:04.133
<v Speaker 6>They are coming for blood and I.

0:18:04.093 --> 0:18:06.773
<v Speaker 2>Think we should return the compliment. I take back everything

0:18:06.893 --> 0:18:10.093
<v Speaker 2>I said and I hope they well they shred them

0:18:10.373 --> 0:18:13.773
<v Speaker 2>in Melbourne and on that. Mister digital sports editor for
