Speaker 1: News Talks. But right now with us at eighteen past four, Darcy,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: do you think that we've struck on something. Darcy's walked

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: into the studio and said.

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: What, I don't remember. It was five minutes ago.

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: You said, I'm tired. Yes, it's obviously you've forgotten. That's

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: how tired you are. Yes, you feel exceptionally tired today.

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: I got up quite late for me. It was mean.

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 3: My med's alarm went off because I got an alarm

10
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 3: to remind me to do this, So you know, people

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 3: can deal.

12
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: With the network.

13
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: I feel really tired today. Well, I don't know why.

14
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 2: I don't know.

15
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: Let's blame We will wear where wolves. We're reacting to

16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: the moon. Okay, if you're feeling really tired, let us know,

17
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: because I feel like I feel like we need them.

18
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: We might be Two of us is not a pattern,

19
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: but three would be anyway.

20
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 3: Water, aren't we and isn't that really the tides are

21
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: influenced by the moon.

22
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: We're titles to stop.

23
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: So the Indian Panthers have now been suspended, have they?

24
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: If they have.

25
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: The commission today? This is the Commission looking after this

26
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: from on basketball, I'd suspend them effective immediately, from the

27
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: participation in the rest of the NBL. The sales NBL

28
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. And they go through the reasons they're

29
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: doing it and why they're doing it, the ongoing investigation,

30
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: the details, the conditions, the matters. That one line that

31
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: I'm quite interested in here, and look, I stand to

32
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: be challenged on this.

33
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: I probably will be yes by.

34
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: Their commission, but this is the line from the chair

35
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: Tracy Garland. It is very disappointed with the commission to

36
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: be facing the situation, especially given that the following careful due.

37
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: Diligence whatever carrying on.

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.

39
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: Let's play a game at connect the dots, right, And

40
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: I'll been on the internet connecting dots all night doing

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: on that research my own research. Yah.

42
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: I found something that the medic.

43
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: The connections between the Panthers are the Indian Basketball League,

44
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: some vaguely shonky out for a Melbourne that are also

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: connected to Western United Football And there's all of these

46
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: connections with these similarities of these people engaged and it's

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: a mess. It's a financial mess. And like I've managed

48
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: to find that of an evening in a morning.

49
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know, you're saying that the NBL should

50
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: have just done a Google search like that.

51
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: They hopefully went a bit deeper than that. But to me,

52
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 3: to me, the issue is not about the Indian Panthers.

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: The issue here is who enabled the Indian Panthers who

54
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: started this, because it's their problem. It's their fault. They initiate,

55
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 3: they opened the door, they let this team in and

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: they're surprised that all chaos and hell's broken loose.

57
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: So but now they have to redraw the draw.

58
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: Well, they must have. They must otherwise every time somebody's

60
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: supposed to play, the Indian Panthers.

61
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: Get couple of points, but no one will turn up,

62
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: so the people on the concession boots won't be able

63
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: to make any money. So they're experiences. We had the

64
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: bloke on last night proneil and it was whosh, what's

65
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 3: interesting what some crazy old texts about that?

66
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 2: As well as like well, I don't know, this guy

67
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: talks a lot, didn't say a great deal, but that's

68
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: what why people heard. And I talked to on challenge

69
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: him on on quite a few things.

70
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: And you know, we ran the money because you know,

71
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: fifteen thousand dollars a game, a home game, and you

72
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: know first five games of home games, like, well you

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 3: just found that out?

74
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: Sorry, Just do you think maybe you might have looked

75
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: forward to go we're going to need to thick end

76
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: of fifty k for the first game?

77
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: Were what seventy five?

78
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: Seventy five? Well, phone and I don't do math talk.

79
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: Ask your question, is this Ruby two in news bag

80
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: or this is expected?

81
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say expected, But what I say of Alan

82
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: Barunting is that what he's doing with the lights of Chelsea.

83
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: Bremner, who's not there as well. Rena Holmes is.

84
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: Not there and Ruby till now, they're not out of

85
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: the rugby will cut which is coming up late August September.

86
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: He's just shot across their bows and goes my expectations.

87
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: Of this because they're not in the Pacific Fall Series.

88
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: No they're not. That's the accent. They're not out. They're

89
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: still in there.

90
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: There's a forty person squad coming up for training for that.

91
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: But they've run some of the the more veteran players out.

92
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: They've introduced some amazing young talent into the side. There's

93
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 3: some sevens talent coming, but there's still the core and

94
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: I think they might object to the fact that's all

95
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: about Ruby Towey. The core of the team that won

96
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: that World Cut, that have been playing great rugby and

97
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: Opicky are still there and they're the important ones and

98
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: lot Ruby would be fantastic, but I think that maybe

99
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: Porscha Woodman Wickliffe coming back probably, And then you've got

100
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: the young fullback Braxton who's quite Braxton Sorenson McGee who's

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: quite something else, but there are some great.

102
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: He just needs to do a few spinning classes and.

103
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: Wow, she's got something to prove. But internal competition in

104
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: any team is everything to staff needs. So it's not

105
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 3: the end of the line. It's a good thing in

106
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: my humble opinion.

107
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: Hey, thank you, Dars appreciate it.

108
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,080
