1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,400 Speaker 1: Nisbo morning. 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 2: Luco Pale by comparison, I. 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: Wouldn't say that. I don't think we've quite got the 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: curly questions for you, as we may have the finance 5 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: ministers a bit of a tis no all blacks taking 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: time to sharpen up before the box next weekend. So 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: I guess for our rugby fix we turn to MPC 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: and our unbeaten Canterbury hosting one of WAU tomorrow in 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: raggi Orda, of all places. I wouldn't be surprised if 10 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: the Turbos give us a couple of frights, because they 11 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: have been surprisingly strong this season. 12 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll give you a fight or two. I don't 13 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: think they'll win. But they're not a bad team. Manawa too. 14 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: They've improved a lot. They've got quite a few super 15 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 2: rugby players as we know, led by the likes of 16 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 2: Braden and yours. I don't know whether Brett Cameron's got 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: to start tomorrow. I think I noticed he was missing, 18 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: but Nani Lao Marpi of course is there t K 19 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: Howden who plays for the Highlanders. So they're not a 20 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: bad team. Yeah, not a bad team at all. So 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: I think it'll be a very good game to watch, and. 22 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: Then the other one. I've got my eyes on the 23 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: log of Woods showdown between new owners Waikatou and the 24 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: South and Stags. I don't think they've won back to 25 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: back since what were they saying on the news last 26 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: night in Asbau Was it twenty seventeen or might even 27 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: be twenty eleven? 28 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: So there are yeah, absolutely, and that went over by 29 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: plenty in Royal Rule was a real eye opener and 30 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 2: they'll be buoyed by that because winning on the road 31 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 2: is not easy, but winning pretty convincingly against the team 32 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: that made the final last year. Look, I I think 33 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: there are a runner's chance in this. I guess the 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: downside from Southend's point of view is the fact that 35 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: there are four all blacks returning to the Waikato lineup. 36 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: Because the fourteen all blacks that have been released back 37 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: into provincial rugby Whitekatto just happened to have four of them, 38 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: and that'll make it tougher four of the Stags. But 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, they'll. 40 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: Give it a go at five dollars, maybe just because 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: I still feel like I've got a we tie down there, 42 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: having spent a decade doing the bricky show of go 43 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: or might put a sneaky tenor on. I'd regret if 44 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: I didn't, asbo go on on been ultimate round of 45 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: the league season. We've got the Warriors hosting the Eels tonight. 46 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: There's a little more pressure on this because I see 47 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: that Panthers coach Nathan Cleary has opted to rest sixteen 48 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: of his regulars. They're up against the third place Bulldogs, 49 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: who are now favorites, so if they get up could 50 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: put our top four spot at a little risky. 51 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: I'll bring her up to date on that one. That 52 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: game was played last night. Well there, yeah, it was 53 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: played last night. It was very controversial what Cleary did, 54 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: of course, but anyway, Canibry won twenty eight to four, 55 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: which is of no surprise to anybody. So that's been 56 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: done and dusted. Cleary's worked out that he's not going 57 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: to make the top four, so he needs to rest 58 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: his players because they pretty much go into knockout phase 59 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: once the playoffs starts. So there's arguments both ways, but 60 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 2: that's what happened. Yeah, Panthers got beaten twenty eight to 61 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 2: four by the Bulldogs night. 62 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: So that does put pretty sure on our Warriors tonight, 63 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: I think it does. 64 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, look I don't know all the connotations, but let's 65 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: be honest. If they win their last two games, they 66 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: are in the four. So that's really got to be 67 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: their focus against a against the paramount of team that 68 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: on the day can can upset teams. But I think 69 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: I think at home the Warriors should be too good. 70 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: Sea. I'm glad to have you on to keep things 71 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: on track and as well you have a creaking weekend.
