56
00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:26,187
Speaker 2: We're gonna start with rugby league. The Warriors have produced

57
00:03:26,187 --> 00:03:29,947
Speaker 2: a stunning thirty six sixteen win over the Manly Sea

58
00:03:30,027 --> 00:03:31,707
Speaker 2: Eagles at go Media Stadium.

59
00:03:32,307 --> 00:03:37,107
Speaker 4: Mica Harris, Thevena Pumpey turn us a.

60
00:03:37,147 --> 00:03:39,987
Speaker 3: Six a set.

61
00:03:42,787 --> 00:03:45,867
Speaker 2: Yeah, wonderful staff. They conceded the first try the Warriors

62
00:03:45,907 --> 00:03:50,267
Speaker 2: after just three minutes, but led eighteen sixteen at halftime.

63
00:03:50,347 --> 00:03:54,147
Speaker 2: Scored six tries in all, and all six were converted

64
00:03:54,187 --> 00:03:57,587
Speaker 2: by halfback Luke Metcalf. Your thoughts on this are welcome

65
00:03:57,907 --> 00:04:00,347
Speaker 2: and to have Slagh Griffin, assistant coach of the side

66
00:04:00,427 --> 00:04:03,827
Speaker 2: join us very shortly. But a much much needed win,

67
00:04:03,987 --> 00:04:07,187
Speaker 2: wasn't it for the Warriors last night? After what happened

68
00:04:07,307 --> 00:04:11,667
Speaker 2: in Vegas and the fallout from that. There were you know,

69
00:04:11,867 --> 00:04:15,467
Speaker 2: poor tenths of doom weren't there ahead of last night,

70
00:04:15,547 --> 00:04:18,187
Speaker 2: and it would have been a very different conversation would

71
00:04:18,187 --> 00:04:21,307
Speaker 2: be having if, in fact it had been another defeat

72
00:04:21,387 --> 00:04:24,507
Speaker 2: last night too manly, But it wasn't. It was, in

73
00:04:24,547 --> 00:04:27,027
Speaker 2: fact one of the more impressive performances we've seen from

74
00:04:27,067 --> 00:04:31,027
Speaker 2: the Warriors in recent times. Assistant coach Slade Griffin joins us.

75
00:04:31,227 --> 00:04:33,067
Speaker 2: Good to have you on the show. Slade, what pleased

76
00:04:33,067 --> 00:04:34,347
Speaker 2: you the most about last night?

77
00:04:35,787 --> 00:04:35,987
Speaker 5: Yeah?

78
00:04:36,067 --> 00:04:40,547
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me. We just played our brand of footy.

79
00:04:41,427 --> 00:04:44,307
Speaker 6: Obviously we didn't quite play how he wanted to in Vegas.

80
00:04:44,387 --> 00:04:47,667
Speaker 6: I'm extremely disappointed but yeah, we just played a lot

81
00:04:47,707 --> 00:04:50,987
Speaker 6: more direct and attack, created some good momentum and then

82
00:04:51,067 --> 00:04:54,027
Speaker 6: chose our moments to move the ball out wide, and

83
00:04:54,067 --> 00:04:57,627
Speaker 6: we just defended much better, tackle better, made some good

84
00:04:57,627 --> 00:05:00,947
Speaker 6: decisions on the edges against a very dangerous team. You know,

85
00:05:02,107 --> 00:05:05,147
Speaker 6: Turbo and PC are scary players to.

86
00:05:05,067 --> 00:05:05,747
Speaker 7: Come up against.

87
00:05:05,787 --> 00:05:08,427
Speaker 6: But the boys held their gloves up there.

88
00:05:08,827 --> 00:05:10,387
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we want to talk more about the game in

89
00:05:10,427 --> 00:05:15,067
Speaker 2: the moment, but how much soul searching and internal examination

90
00:05:15,347 --> 00:05:16,947
Speaker 2: has the team done since Vegas?

91
00:05:19,947 --> 00:05:24,147
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, the boys are really honest. They're obviously really

92
00:05:24,147 --> 00:05:26,707
Speaker 6: disappointed individually and then as a team.

93
00:05:26,987 --> 00:05:27,627
Speaker 8: The biggest one.

94
00:05:27,627 --> 00:05:31,547
Speaker 6: We're obviously gutted ourselves. That really gutted for our fans

95
00:05:31,587 --> 00:05:33,427
Speaker 6: that you know, put a lot of time and money

96
00:05:33,467 --> 00:05:36,987
Speaker 6: to travel over to Vegas, so it made it feel

97
00:05:37,147 --> 00:05:41,827
Speaker 6: a lot worse. And not the first team over rugby

98
00:05:41,947 --> 00:05:44,467
Speaker 6: league to have a bad game in round one, you know,

99
00:05:44,507 --> 00:05:48,147
Speaker 6: it was just so much hype around it. But we

100
00:05:48,227 --> 00:05:52,027
Speaker 6: obviously addressed it and then we yeah, like I said,

101
00:05:51,787 --> 00:05:54,987
Speaker 6: we got back to ourselves and we played our type

102
00:05:54,987 --> 00:05:55,827
Speaker 6: of game last night.

103
00:05:56,707 --> 00:05:59,707
Speaker 2: Six tries tell us the tale of a good attacking performance,

104
00:05:59,827 --> 00:06:02,507
Speaker 2: especially that period of three tries in eleven minutes in

105
00:06:02,507 --> 00:06:05,747
Speaker 2: the first half. Obviously, you know, I think your brief

106
00:06:05,827 --> 00:06:08,627
Speaker 2: is mainly the but has attack been a major work

107
00:06:08,667 --> 00:06:11,467
Speaker 2: on since scoring just eight points in the first round.

108
00:06:14,067 --> 00:06:17,467
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think. Look, we lost the physical battle against

109
00:06:17,507 --> 00:06:21,667
Speaker 6: the Raiders and you know our attack copped a bit

110
00:06:21,707 --> 00:06:26,347
Speaker 6: of flack there. But you heard the old cliche, if

111
00:06:26,347 --> 00:06:28,547
Speaker 6: you lay the platform, you know that your halves can

112
00:06:28,547 --> 00:06:31,867
Speaker 6: shine there. So, like I said, we're a bit more direct.

113
00:06:31,947 --> 00:06:35,187
Speaker 6: We created a lot more ruck speed for our halves

114
00:06:35,187 --> 00:06:37,587
Speaker 6: to play and move the ball off the back of

115
00:06:37,627 --> 00:06:40,307
Speaker 6: a bit of fast play the ball, and then obviously

116
00:06:40,347 --> 00:06:42,747
Speaker 6: that got weighed out as well, and he caused a

117
00:06:42,747 --> 00:06:46,347
Speaker 6: bit of havoc around the ruck. So yeah, look, rugbylely

118
00:06:46,427 --> 00:06:48,507
Speaker 6: is a complimentary game. When you defend well in your

119
00:06:48,587 --> 00:06:51,227
Speaker 6: field position, you get a bit more fatigue in the

120
00:06:51,227 --> 00:06:53,227
Speaker 6: other team and then you create more opportunities.

121
00:06:53,267 --> 00:06:57,547
Speaker 2: So yeah, I actually thought Luke Metcalf played okay in Vegas,

122
00:06:57,587 --> 00:06:59,947
Speaker 2: but he seemed to cop quite a bit of flak afterwards.

123
00:07:00,347 --> 00:07:03,067
Speaker 2: How pleased were you to see him rebound from that

124
00:07:03,147 --> 00:07:04,867
Speaker 2: to play? Look he did last night, as you say,

125
00:07:04,867 --> 00:07:07,267
Speaker 2: off the back of a much much stir in a

126
00:07:07,307 --> 00:07:09,587
Speaker 2: platform that was provided for him.

127
00:07:10,427 --> 00:07:14,307
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like people think like we're not relieved because we've

128
00:07:14,307 --> 00:07:16,627
Speaker 6: seen it over preseason and Lukey's done a really good

129
00:07:16,667 --> 00:07:19,747
Speaker 6: apprenticeship here under Sean and he's been in the system

130
00:07:19,747 --> 00:07:22,827
Speaker 6: for three years, so he knows the attack. Like I said,

131
00:07:22,827 --> 00:07:25,307
Speaker 6: we didn't have the platform to playoff over in Vegas,

132
00:07:25,027 --> 00:07:29,147
Speaker 6: and he did cop a lot of flack, but yeah,

133
00:07:29,147 --> 00:07:31,147
Speaker 6: we just knew if we create more ruck speed, We've

134
00:07:31,147 --> 00:07:33,987
Speaker 6: seen what he's done over preseason and there was even

135
00:07:34,107 --> 00:07:37,667
Speaker 6: some people calling out like selections and stuff in the media,

136
00:07:37,707 --> 00:07:40,027
Speaker 6: but he showed what he's capable of and we knew

137
00:07:40,067 --> 00:07:42,747
Speaker 6: that and I read asked, but we had one hundred

138
00:07:42,747 --> 00:07:46,387
Speaker 6: percent faith in that, so we obviously backed the team

139
00:07:46,427 --> 00:07:50,067
Speaker 6: was picked in Las Vegas, and the Boys really repaid

140
00:07:50,067 --> 00:07:52,147
Speaker 6: that face and put a really good performance in last night.

141
00:07:52,627 --> 00:07:55,667
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, same seventeen as you say from Vegas. Aaron Clark,

142
00:07:55,707 --> 00:07:57,707
Speaker 2: though started at lock last night, had a good game

143
00:07:58,147 --> 00:08:00,987
Speaker 2: after coming off the interchange in Vegas. Were also keen

144
00:08:01,027 --> 00:08:04,947
Speaker 2: to have one of Mitch Barnett and James Fisher Harris

145
00:08:04,987 --> 00:08:06,627
Speaker 2: on the field as often as you can, not have

146
00:08:06,667 --> 00:08:09,307
Speaker 2: as much overlap when neither of them is on there.

147
00:08:11,507 --> 00:08:11,787
Speaker 9: Yep.

148
00:08:12,067 --> 00:08:12,307
Speaker 8: Yep.

149
00:08:12,987 --> 00:08:15,507
Speaker 6: Obviously the front rollers, so you know, they got that

150
00:08:15,587 --> 00:08:18,747
Speaker 6: are in the washing machine, you know, up back, making tackles,

151
00:08:18,867 --> 00:08:21,747
Speaker 6: carrying the ball like it. It's the most fatiguing position

152
00:08:21,827 --> 00:08:24,867
Speaker 6: on the field, so you obviously wanted them on as

153
00:08:24,947 --> 00:08:27,707
Speaker 6: long as you can. But the nature of the position

154
00:08:27,787 --> 00:08:30,187
Speaker 6: that most front rollers only play so many minutes, so

155
00:08:30,787 --> 00:08:32,707
Speaker 6: when you're starting them, both are probably both going to

156
00:08:32,787 --> 00:08:34,707
Speaker 6: need to put their hand up around the similar time.

157
00:08:34,747 --> 00:08:36,547
Speaker 6: And that's where you got to back your bench. And

158
00:08:36,627 --> 00:08:40,547
Speaker 6: we're extremely confident our bench played really well, but yeah,

159
00:08:40,747 --> 00:08:44,827
Speaker 6: it was it was great to kind of mix them up,

160
00:08:44,827 --> 00:08:47,347
Speaker 6: and in the second instant we brung Barney on a

161
00:08:47,347 --> 00:08:49,267
Speaker 6: bit of it. He got to get to halftime and

162
00:08:49,307 --> 00:08:51,627
Speaker 6: then we brung Fish back onto him. So we had

163
00:08:51,627 --> 00:08:54,147
Speaker 6: one of those big dogs out there at all time.

164
00:08:55,227 --> 00:08:57,107
Speaker 2: Were you at all worried in the first five minutes

165
00:08:57,187 --> 00:08:57,347
Speaker 2: or so?

166
00:09:02,347 --> 00:09:08,027
Speaker 6: Oh, you know, just like they have that in them,

167
00:09:08,227 --> 00:09:11,147
Speaker 6: like they obviously are higher risk, high reward team. So

168
00:09:12,067 --> 00:09:15,427
Speaker 6: we've actually done a really good job defensively. They didn't

169
00:09:15,427 --> 00:09:17,787
Speaker 6: make many meters that whole set, and then one play

170
00:09:17,827 --> 00:09:20,907
Speaker 6: Turbo just turns up on the edge and he can crucify,

171
00:09:20,947 --> 00:09:22,947
Speaker 6: you know, and they got Sab out there, who's just

172
00:09:23,027 --> 00:09:27,667
Speaker 6: lightning fast, and we ended up forcing a few eras

173
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:29,347
Speaker 6: out of them and yarded and then scoring on the

174
00:09:29,387 --> 00:09:32,587
Speaker 6: next set. So you know, they're kind of that type

175
00:09:32,627 --> 00:09:35,707
Speaker 6: of team where they roll the dice a bit. But yeah,

176
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:38,667
Speaker 6: just high class players. We end up making a few

177
00:09:38,707 --> 00:09:41,987
Speaker 6: adjustments there. But yeah, off the back of their big forwards.

178
00:09:41,987 --> 00:09:44,747
Speaker 6: If you lose one tackle and you have a man

179
00:09:44,787 --> 00:09:46,827
Speaker 6: out of your defensive line, Turbo pops up on the

180
00:09:46,907 --> 00:09:49,707
Speaker 6: edge for the overlap. He's so skillful he can just

181
00:09:49,747 --> 00:09:52,747
Speaker 6: pull your pull you apart. So yeah, obviously we made

182
00:09:52,747 --> 00:09:55,747
Speaker 6: the adjustments and the boys did a pretty good job

183
00:09:55,747 --> 00:09:56,467
Speaker 6: for the rest of the game.

184
00:09:57,147 --> 00:09:59,747
Speaker 2: Youreck and manly winger Jason Sab got that one down

185
00:10:00,147 --> 00:10:02,507
Speaker 2: in the corner early in the second half, I mean,

186
00:10:02,667 --> 00:10:04,827
Speaker 2: didn't affect the results, So you can be honest.

187
00:10:05,907 --> 00:10:06,907
Speaker 6: A put down.

188
00:10:07,467 --> 00:10:09,747
Speaker 2: Yeah what do you think? I don't think. I don't

189
00:10:09,747 --> 00:10:10,427
Speaker 2: think you got it down.

190
00:10:10,427 --> 00:10:14,187
Speaker 6: But you know, yeah, those bones are that tough for

191
00:10:14,187 --> 00:10:16,027
Speaker 6: the rest, aren't they. Like you know what he's saying,

192
00:10:16,027 --> 00:10:19,147
Speaker 6: they probably say try and many are probably saying it

193
00:10:19,267 --> 00:10:21,827
Speaker 6: is a try, like it's a tough job for a rest.

194
00:10:21,907 --> 00:10:25,147
Speaker 6: So I'll keep out of that one. I think I

195
00:10:25,147 --> 00:10:27,547
Speaker 6: don't know how they're kind of rolling on that one

196
00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:29,707
Speaker 6: right now. I remember it used to be, you know,

197
00:10:29,747 --> 00:10:31,507
Speaker 6: you had to deale with pressure out. It's like, as

198
00:10:31,547 --> 00:10:35,987
Speaker 6: long as there's one, I'm pinky on it. So yeah, that's.

199
00:10:36,547 --> 00:10:40,347
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, very diplomatically answered mate, well done. That was like,

200
00:10:41,627 --> 00:10:43,747
Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll you'll as you say. You know, the

201
00:10:43,827 --> 00:10:45,467
Speaker 2: lot of Warriors fans said, there's no way it was.

202
00:10:45,467 --> 00:10:48,747
Speaker 2: It was like the the daily chair evens try as

203
00:10:48,787 --> 00:10:51,187
Speaker 2: well that you know, tiptoeing along the touch line to

204
00:10:51,467 --> 00:10:54,427
Speaker 2: pull it back this. You know, there's millimeters in these things. Ah,

205
00:10:54,507 --> 00:10:56,467
Speaker 2: I mean do you are you watching the footage from

206
00:10:56,467 --> 00:10:58,387
Speaker 2: the coaching box when these decisions are being made by

207
00:10:58,427 --> 00:10:58,787
Speaker 2: the bunker?

208
00:10:59,947 --> 00:11:01,747
Speaker 6: Yeah, we are went a little bit away from the

209
00:11:01,747 --> 00:11:03,747
Speaker 6: big screen. We'll only go like a little tally in

210
00:11:03,787 --> 00:11:07,547
Speaker 6: the coach's box. So sometimes the hard Yeah that again,

211
00:11:07,787 --> 00:11:09,987
Speaker 6: you know, you could say either way on that one

212
00:11:11,027 --> 00:11:13,387
Speaker 6: when the ref call was one way. That gives them

213
00:11:13,387 --> 00:11:17,427
Speaker 6: the benefit of doubt. But yeah, that's just how classy

214
00:11:17,507 --> 00:11:20,547
Speaker 6: they are. They like they make a breakdown and right

215
00:11:20,587 --> 00:11:22,227
Speaker 6: they kicked back at the post and they tapped the

216
00:11:22,267 --> 00:11:24,387
Speaker 6: ball back and the team.

217
00:11:24,667 --> 00:11:26,827
Speaker 2: Yeas much as there was controversy over those two tries,

218
00:11:26,867 --> 00:11:29,267
Speaker 2: and and there was obviously been trying the first half,

219
00:11:29,467 --> 00:11:31,587
Speaker 2: they all came down the right edge, Slad. Is that

220
00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:37,107
Speaker 2: a defensive focus for you?

221
00:11:37,107 --> 00:11:39,307
Speaker 6: No, not not really, Like we'll look at it, we'll

222
00:11:40,227 --> 00:11:44,947
Speaker 6: make adjustments. And I just again, I just think it's

223
00:11:44,987 --> 00:11:47,707
Speaker 6: like Tom trabley like they are a very dangerous team.

224
00:11:47,747 --> 00:11:49,547
Speaker 6: I think that they would have been up there and

225
00:11:49,587 --> 00:11:54,347
Speaker 6: the most points scored last year and some areas out

226
00:11:54,347 --> 00:11:57,747
Speaker 6: of them as well, but they just yeah, they're ready

227
00:11:57,787 --> 00:12:00,907
Speaker 6: to either throw the ball over the sideline or make

228
00:12:00,947 --> 00:12:03,667
Speaker 6: a line break, so sometimes you got to wear those ones.

229
00:12:04,707 --> 00:12:08,547
Speaker 2: Pretty special acknowledgment of Tall who Harris pre game? Can

230
00:12:08,587 --> 00:12:11,347
Speaker 2: you talk about the impact that he's had on this team?

231
00:12:12,907 --> 00:12:17,387
Speaker 6: Yeah, monumental. I actually played with Toto and through the

232
00:12:17,467 --> 00:12:20,947
Speaker 6: juniors and just amazing to see the man he's turned into.

233
00:12:21,747 --> 00:12:24,147
Speaker 6: I thought, just as a footy fan, that was an

234
00:12:24,187 --> 00:12:27,867
Speaker 6: awesome moment as a Kiwi seeing him hand over the

235
00:12:27,907 --> 00:12:31,787
Speaker 6: hoy to Fish and Darney like it's you're shipping now boys,

236
00:12:31,987 --> 00:12:34,267
Speaker 6: Like it was just a really cool moment they blacked

237
00:12:34,267 --> 00:12:37,347
Speaker 6: out the stadium. I just think that's a real inspirational

238
00:12:37,347 --> 00:12:39,267
Speaker 6: moment for young kiwis in the country want to play

239
00:12:39,307 --> 00:12:42,827
Speaker 6: regular league growing up in the Warriors fans. But yeah,

240
00:12:42,867 --> 00:12:45,627
Speaker 6: obviously he's up on our wall for Player of the

241
00:12:45,667 --> 00:12:48,947
Speaker 6: Year three years in a row. I think people didn't

242
00:12:48,947 --> 00:12:50,987
Speaker 6: realize the impact he had on the game until they

243
00:12:51,067 --> 00:12:53,707
Speaker 6: kind of were involved with the club or with him,

244
00:12:53,827 --> 00:12:55,707
Speaker 6: Like he got through so much work, but then he

245
00:12:55,787 --> 00:12:59,147
Speaker 6: is so highly skilled and again he kind of em

246
00:12:59,187 --> 00:13:02,027
Speaker 6: and I AO a couple of those guys kind of

247
00:13:02,027 --> 00:13:04,587
Speaker 6: brung back the ball playing thirteen. So when you've made

248
00:13:04,627 --> 00:13:07,227
Speaker 6: a different to the game and everyone starts trying and

249
00:13:07,267 --> 00:13:09,467
Speaker 6: emulate that you're a pretty special.

250
00:13:09,187 --> 00:13:12,707
Speaker 2: Player and go media Satam just jumps, doesn't it On

251
00:13:12,867 --> 00:13:16,627
Speaker 2: nights like last night? How good is the energy inside

252
00:13:16,667 --> 00:13:17,147
Speaker 2: that ground?

253
00:13:18,387 --> 00:13:21,187
Speaker 6: Amazing? Like I think when the sectors down the ships,

254
00:13:21,227 --> 00:13:24,667
Speaker 6: I heard the halftime fireworks were unbelievable. So they've got

255
00:13:24,707 --> 00:13:26,787
Speaker 6: a really good job, Cam George and the team here.

256
00:13:27,267 --> 00:13:29,227
Speaker 6: I really want to make it, you know, the hottest

257
00:13:29,227 --> 00:13:32,667
Speaker 6: ticket in town, and they're always thinking outside the box.

258
00:13:32,827 --> 00:13:36,747
Speaker 6: But then you just got our fans are passionate, you know,

259
00:13:37,907 --> 00:13:41,427
Speaker 6: turn up after that game in Vegas and they just

260
00:13:41,547 --> 00:13:44,867
Speaker 6: the crowds rocking. They're fully behind the team, whether you

261
00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:46,667
Speaker 6: know it's our best night or not our best night.

262
00:13:46,787 --> 00:13:49,267
Speaker 6: So yeah, that's the boys are just really happy to

263
00:13:49,747 --> 00:13:52,267
Speaker 6: get home and put another performance in front of them.

264
00:13:53,067 --> 00:13:55,507
Speaker 2: And I see your extrapotents. The Roosters beat the Panthers

265
00:13:55,587 --> 00:13:55,987
Speaker 2: last night.

266
00:13:56,027 --> 00:14:00,307
Speaker 6: You see that, Yeah, similar similar to us had a

267
00:14:00,467 --> 00:14:02,907
Speaker 6: obviously rough round one and bounce back and they did

268
00:14:02,987 --> 00:14:07,947
Speaker 6: against you knows, the full time premiers. So look, it

269
00:14:07,987 --> 00:14:10,627
Speaker 6: doesn't get any easier. We know they're a classy outfit.

270
00:14:10,707 --> 00:14:13,067
Speaker 6: I've been up the top for a long time. They

271
00:14:13,067 --> 00:14:16,067
Speaker 6: are a really good club. And yeah, we just excited

272
00:14:16,107 --> 00:14:17,827
Speaker 6: we get to play at home again, so it's going

273
00:14:17,907 --> 00:14:19,907
Speaker 6: to be a very tough clash.

274
00:14:20,107 --> 00:14:22,027
Speaker 2: Great chat, Slade, thanks for taking our call, mate and

275
00:14:22,067 --> 00:14:23,707
Speaker 2: enjoyed the rest of your weekend and world done last night.

276
00:14:24,747 --> 00:14:26,547
Speaker 9: Cool, Thank you very much, Thanks Lade.

277
00:14:26,547 --> 00:14:29,587
Speaker 2: Slag Griffin the assistant coach of the Warriors. Yeah, fairly

278
00:14:29,587 --> 00:14:31,707
Speaker 2: happy assistant coach. You'd have to think, yeah, sure it's

279
00:14:31,707 --> 00:14:34,427
Speaker 2: only the second game, but after what happened in Vegas,

280
00:14:34,747 --> 00:14:36,947
Speaker 2: that can stay in Vegas, as they say, you've heard

281
00:14:36,947 --> 00:14:39,787
Speaker 2: from Slade Griffin. Your chance to react, Warriors fans eight

282
00:14:39,787 --> 00:14:42,147
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty. That talks some rugby league.

283
00:14:42,307 --> 00:14:46,747
Speaker 2: So much better, so much better than round one, night

284
00:14:46,827 --> 00:14:51,827
Speaker 2: and day, better than round one. Probably a bit unexpected

285
00:14:51,827 --> 00:14:53,467
Speaker 2: in some quarters. I know they were quite long at

286
00:14:53,467 --> 00:14:58,187
Speaker 2: the tab last night, the Warriors, but much much needed

287
00:14:58,947 --> 00:15:01,587
Speaker 2: a loss last night, and at zero and two with

288
00:15:01,787 --> 00:15:04,267
Speaker 2: the Roosters coming next fresh off that win over Penrith

289
00:15:04,347 --> 00:15:08,787
Speaker 2: last night, and thing would be a little bit grim

290
00:15:08,827 --> 00:15:13,027
Speaker 2: instead a launching pad for this team last night, and

291
00:15:13,387 --> 00:15:15,867
Speaker 2: as I say, Vegas is now very much in the

292
00:15:15,947 --> 00:15:18,947
Speaker 2: rearview mirror. Although I do have to say I was

293
00:15:18,947 --> 00:15:22,547
Speaker 2: a bit concerned in the first ten minutes the way

294
00:15:22,587 --> 00:15:25,467
Speaker 2: manly opened the Warriors up for the first try, but

295
00:15:25,547 --> 00:15:30,107
Speaker 2: of a defensive misread, Tom Traboyovich and Jason sab combining

296
00:15:30,147 --> 00:15:33,867
Speaker 2: for Traboyevitch to score that try. You don't have to

297
00:15:33,867 --> 00:15:35,907
Speaker 2: give them a lot of space there. Speaking of Jason Subb,

298
00:15:36,787 --> 00:15:38,827
Speaker 2: you just can't convince me he got that ball down,

299
00:15:39,627 --> 00:15:42,067
Speaker 2: that he got Downward's force on it. And as I

300
00:15:42,507 --> 00:15:45,027
Speaker 2: just said then, I'm not exactly sure how they judged

301
00:15:45,027 --> 00:15:48,907
Speaker 2: these things. Now, there certainly wasn't downward pressure in the

302
00:15:49,827 --> 00:15:52,427
Speaker 2: true sense of that phrase. But if all you need

303
00:15:52,467 --> 00:15:54,267
Speaker 2: to get on it is just one of your fingers

304
00:15:54,307 --> 00:15:56,747
Speaker 2: and have contact with the ball, and the ball has

305
00:15:56,747 --> 00:16:00,107
Speaker 2: contact with the ground, then I guess it was as

306
00:16:00,147 --> 00:16:02,427
Speaker 2: it happened. It didn't affect the results, so that's probably

307
00:16:02,987 --> 00:16:04,907
Speaker 2: probably quite a good thing. Having said that as well,

308
00:16:04,947 --> 00:16:08,587
Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent sure that Wade Egan got

309
00:16:08,627 --> 00:16:12,027
Speaker 2: his try down either, so there probably evens things out

310
00:16:12,067 --> 00:16:15,387
Speaker 2: of it. I was very pleased for Luke Metcalf because

311
00:16:15,987 --> 00:16:19,627
Speaker 2: he did cop a lot of flak after Vegas, but

312
00:16:19,747 --> 00:16:24,107
Speaker 2: last night he had a much better platform to work from.

313
00:16:24,147 --> 00:16:27,827
Speaker 2: Taking Sean Johnson's jump is tough anyway, that'll give him

314
00:16:27,907 --> 00:16:32,507
Speaker 2: huge confidence moving forward. So your thoughts are welcome as well.

315
00:16:32,547 --> 00:16:34,907
Speaker 2: At eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine, two ninety

316
00:16:34,907 --> 00:16:37,067
Speaker 2: two on text, anything that you heard from Slack Griffin

317
00:16:37,307 --> 00:16:39,027
Speaker 2: and I think you picked up on last night. We

318
00:16:39,067 --> 00:16:40,707
Speaker 2: are going to get to the rugby before one o'clock

319
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,027
Speaker 2: because I know there are some Hurricanes fans and in

320
00:16:43,027 --> 00:16:45,147
Speaker 2: particular some Highlanders fans and won't have a chat about that,

321
00:16:45,147 --> 00:16:48,227
Speaker 2: but let's talk some thirteen man footy for the next

322
00:16:48,267 --> 00:16:48,667
Speaker 2: little while.

323
00:16:48,667 --> 00:16:51,747
Speaker 10: Adoy, Jamie, good pliny, how are you going?

324
00:16:51,987 --> 00:16:53,227
Speaker 2: Very good Jamie, very good.

325
00:16:53,387 --> 00:16:57,107
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, good night overall with both the Canes and

326
00:16:57,147 --> 00:17:00,147
Speaker 10: the Warriors winning. But yeah, you talk mainly about the

327
00:17:00,147 --> 00:17:03,947
Speaker 10: Warriors because it's this a game I made me saw. Yeah. No,

328
00:17:04,027 --> 00:17:08,427
Speaker 10: it was really good to Yeah, really good bounce back

329
00:17:08,467 --> 00:17:13,427
Speaker 10: from Vegas. Yeah, this really pleased with how the the

330
00:17:13,507 --> 00:17:16,347
Speaker 10: forwards way of the platform. But you know, Prisha, Harris,

331
00:17:16,347 --> 00:17:19,787
Speaker 10: Eagan and Barnett were all out standing and just yeah

332
00:17:19,787 --> 00:17:22,347
Speaker 10: form Metcalft to shine in the in the in the

333
00:17:22,387 --> 00:17:25,267
Speaker 10: backs as well. I thought there was a big improvement

334
00:17:25,387 --> 00:17:27,347
Speaker 10: definitely from yeah Las Vegas.

335
00:17:27,627 --> 00:17:29,987
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just it was just night and day Jamie,

336
00:17:30,027 --> 00:17:31,867
Speaker 2: awsnon't it? And it seems so obvious, doesn't it that

337
00:17:31,907 --> 00:17:33,947
Speaker 2: if your forwards play well, and they did as you

338
00:17:33,947 --> 00:17:36,347
Speaker 2: say last night, particularly the front rowers, it's going to

339
00:17:36,387 --> 00:17:38,227
Speaker 2: be so much easier for the halves to you know,

340
00:17:38,267 --> 00:17:40,267
Speaker 2: to get things going on attack. And here we are

341
00:17:40,347 --> 00:17:42,387
Speaker 2: six converted tries, you know, but it does all start

342
00:17:42,467 --> 00:17:43,067
Speaker 2: up front.

343
00:17:43,867 --> 00:17:47,987
Speaker 10: That's right, exactly. This one one small concern for me was,

344
00:17:49,267 --> 00:17:52,667
Speaker 10: especially in the first half, there was like the with

345
00:17:52,747 --> 00:17:55,627
Speaker 10: the wingers coming off their wing bit of space on

346
00:17:55,667 --> 00:17:58,507
Speaker 10: the outside. I think that was I mean that some

347
00:17:58,547 --> 00:18:02,267
Speaker 10: of those yea passes had stuck or something like that.

348
00:18:02,307 --> 00:18:05,507
Speaker 10: It could have it was, it could have the game,

349
00:18:05,547 --> 00:18:08,627
Speaker 10: I think. I just yeah, it does worry me a

350
00:18:08,627 --> 00:18:12,427
Speaker 10: little bit. Yeah, especially if you look at the the

351
00:18:12,507 --> 00:18:14,827
Speaker 10: Rooster's game last night. They liked to score wide and

352
00:18:14,947 --> 00:18:17,267
Speaker 10: you know they've got some ponent players out there, so yeah,

353
00:18:17,427 --> 00:18:19,627
Speaker 10: it's yeah, this one that will work on but yeah

354
00:18:19,627 --> 00:18:23,267
Speaker 10: otherwise yeah, yeah, good to back up and hopefully they'll

355
00:18:23,267 --> 00:18:24,427
Speaker 10: back it up again next week.

356
00:18:24,907 --> 00:18:27,787
Speaker 2: Indeed, good thoughts mate, Thanks Jamie, always good to chat

357
00:18:27,787 --> 00:18:29,907
Speaker 2: to you. Thanks indeed, I eight hundred and eighty ten

358
00:18:29,947 --> 00:18:32,827
Speaker 2: eighty year. It was interesting, wasn't it that that? I

359
00:18:32,867 --> 00:18:35,547
Speaker 2: think all three were down Roger's side, weren't they? And

360
00:18:35,787 --> 00:18:37,467
Speaker 2: he's a guy wh's been around for ages, mainly at

361
00:18:37,467 --> 00:18:39,307
Speaker 2: four back. Of course, does he still have to work

362
00:18:39,347 --> 00:18:42,587
Speaker 2: on his defensive reeds as a winger, probably, But you know,

363
00:18:42,907 --> 00:18:45,547
Speaker 2: Slade Griffin we all over that, as will Roger himself.

364
00:18:46,187 --> 00:18:48,187
Speaker 2: And you show what a potent attacker he is by

365
00:18:48,667 --> 00:18:51,267
Speaker 2: scoring that try laid on as well. Twelve twenty four

366
00:18:51,347 --> 00:18:53,307
Speaker 2: I eight hundred and eighty ten eighty chriss hold their

367
00:18:53,307 --> 00:18:54,827
Speaker 2: mate with you after this A spearline if you want

368
00:18:54,827 --> 00:18:56,987
Speaker 2: to talk some warriors. I eight hundred and eighty ten

369
00:18:57,067 --> 00:18:58,907
Speaker 2: eighty back in a second weekend sport.

370

375
00:19:11,027 --> 00:19:14,227
Speaker 2: the rugby before one o'clock as well. The Hurricanes getting

376
00:19:14,307 --> 00:19:16,187
Speaker 2: much needed one over the Highlanders last night, not without

377
00:19:16,187 --> 00:19:19,027
Speaker 2: a bit of controversy, but Clark Lailore before one o'clock.

378
00:19:19,107 --> 00:19:21,427
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the lines and talk to NRL

379
00:19:21,547 --> 00:19:22,227
Speaker 2: Chris high.

380
00:19:22,067 --> 00:19:25,547
Speaker 12: Mate mate n R L and a quick bit of

381
00:19:25,627 --> 00:19:28,067
Speaker 12: union if I made just through of course, of course,

382
00:19:29,227 --> 00:19:33,107
Speaker 12: so in our old tipping, I went for the for

383
00:19:33,147 --> 00:19:36,427
Speaker 12: the Dolphins, then I went for Manly, and then I

384
00:19:36,507 --> 00:19:39,907
Speaker 12: went to the Panthers. So I'm out of three at

385
00:19:39,907 --> 00:19:44,587
Speaker 12: the local pub then and then at my at my

386
00:19:44,707 --> 00:19:48,467
Speaker 12: wife's works, I do the footy tipping for her. So

387
00:19:48,547 --> 00:19:51,067
Speaker 12: the Brummy's loss to the drawer, and I thought the

388
00:19:51,147 --> 00:19:53,187
Speaker 12: drewer would get up after they did a job on

389
00:19:53,227 --> 00:19:58,227
Speaker 12: the the old white out of Chiefs, and then the

390
00:19:58,307 --> 00:20:01,107
Speaker 12: Hurricanes got up over at Cargo. So I'm none from

391
00:20:01,267 --> 00:20:02,307
Speaker 12: five I and.

392
00:20:02,387 --> 00:20:06,587
Speaker 2: Five, Chris, I and five. It can only get better, Oh.

393
00:20:06,547 --> 00:20:09,067
Speaker 12: I hope so, But I was going to talk about

394
00:20:09,067 --> 00:20:13,427
Speaker 12: the Warriors game. They were such a different team than

395
00:20:13,467 --> 00:20:17,147
Speaker 12: when they played against Canberra in Las Vegas, like they

396
00:20:17,227 --> 00:20:20,707
Speaker 12: went back to that throw the ball around, have a go.

397
00:20:21,427 --> 00:20:24,107
Speaker 12: The way that the Warriors win games is when they

398
00:20:24,187 --> 00:20:28,387
Speaker 12: also make it like a game of touch as opposed

399
00:20:28,387 --> 00:20:31,427
Speaker 12: to league, and they've got to keep playing that game

400
00:20:31,507 --> 00:20:33,907
Speaker 12: throw the ball around, because that's when they win. They

401
00:20:33,947 --> 00:20:36,627
Speaker 12: get the one on one and if they play that

402
00:20:36,707 --> 00:20:38,627
Speaker 12: structured game, they're going to lose to the way the

403
00:20:38,667 --> 00:20:41,587
Speaker 12: Australian teams play. So I hope they continue that for

404
00:20:41,667 --> 00:20:43,747
Speaker 12: the rest of the season. Throw them all around, have

405
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:47,907
Speaker 12: a crack because all of those individual players one on

406
00:20:47,907 --> 00:20:50,747
Speaker 12: one will beat their man. So that was a really

407
00:20:50,787 --> 00:20:53,387
Speaker 12: good insight into how the Warriors can progress.

408
00:20:54,307 --> 00:20:56,067
Speaker 2: Such an interesting point you makee Chris, because I know

409
00:20:56,107 --> 00:20:58,507
Speaker 2: that was one of the accusations of Andrew Webster last year,

410
00:20:58,547 --> 00:21:01,067
Speaker 2: was that that on attack with ball in hands, they

411
00:21:01,107 --> 00:21:03,187
Speaker 2: were far too structured. They didn't have a plan B.

412
00:21:03,427 --> 00:21:05,827
Speaker 2: They stuck very much to one plan and when that

413
00:21:05,867 --> 00:21:09,067
Speaker 2: didn't work, there wasn't much else going on. But you're

414
00:21:09,107 --> 00:21:10,867
Speaker 2: so right. You look at that, just the back line,

415
00:21:10,867 --> 00:21:12,827
Speaker 2: you know, Roger two of us check as you say,

416
00:21:13,107 --> 00:21:16,907
Speaker 2: you know Alatawa, Taine, Tapicks, Delan, Whateni Zuleisnik when he

417
00:21:16,947 --> 00:21:19,147
Speaker 2: comes back, Metcalf and Harris, the Veta and the halves.

418
00:21:19,147 --> 00:21:21,387
Speaker 2: There's a lot of individual skill there which if it

419
00:21:21,467 --> 00:21:23,387
Speaker 2: is let off the leash could be very dangerous. And

420
00:21:23,427 --> 00:21:25,387
Speaker 2: we saw six tries last night.

421
00:21:26,867 --> 00:21:30,627
Speaker 12: And that's the thing for the Warriors is as a club,

422
00:21:31,227 --> 00:21:32,307
Speaker 12: when they have had.

423
00:21:32,267 --> 00:21:35,747
Speaker 7: Successful years, it's because the players.

424
00:21:35,347 --> 00:21:38,947
Speaker 12: Have been freelanced and doing what they do and if

425
00:21:38,947 --> 00:21:40,907
Speaker 12: they have to play structured league, they're not going to

426
00:21:40,947 --> 00:21:44,107
Speaker 12: match up to these TiO teams. But I think we

427
00:21:44,227 --> 00:21:48,347
Speaker 12: saw last night the blueprint of how they should play

428
00:21:48,907 --> 00:21:49,747
Speaker 12: moving forward.

429
00:21:52,427 --> 00:21:54,627
Speaker 2: Well, I hope that. Who have you got winning the

430
00:21:54,667 --> 00:21:56,947
Speaker 2: Blues Chiefs tonight? Just incident they're because I'll back the

431
00:21:57,027 --> 00:21:57,467
Speaker 2: other way.

432
00:22:00,627 --> 00:22:03,747
Speaker 12: I'll back to the Chiefs because I'm from Canterbury and

433
00:22:03,867 --> 00:22:06,907
Speaker 12: as far as I'm concerned, New Zealand ends the bomb.

434
00:22:06,827 --> 00:22:07,667
Speaker 7: Hills take it off.

435
00:22:09,747 --> 00:22:11,827
Speaker 2: Love it, Chris, Always good chatting to you mate, Thanks

436
00:22:11,867 --> 00:22:14,307
Speaker 2: for calling it. I hope things improve as far as

437
00:22:14,347 --> 00:22:16,907
Speaker 2: your typic is concerned across the weekend. Look, yeah, I

438
00:22:16,947 --> 00:22:19,467
Speaker 2: think the Chiefs certainly favorites tonight against the Blues, aren't they.

439
00:22:19,947 --> 00:22:22,307
Speaker 2: We'll obviously wait to see you that plays out. We'll

440
00:22:22,347 --> 00:22:24,387
Speaker 2: have that on the show tomorrow. Thanks for your cause

441
00:22:24,427 --> 00:22:27,387
Speaker 2: and correspondence on the NRL more to come next up

442
00:22:27,387 --> 00:22:29,547
Speaker 2: for the Warriors back home against the Roosters, who will

443
00:22:29,587 --> 00:22:34,027
Speaker 2: come here full of confidence after beating the four time

444
00:22:34,107 --> 00:22:37,747
Speaker 2: defending champion Penrith Panthers last night and doing it with

445
00:22:38,347 --> 00:22:40,467
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys that injured as well. Good bit

446
00:22:40,507 --> 00:22:43,387
Speaker 2: of jeopardy going around the NRL. Maybe it is the

447
00:22:43,427 --> 00:22:46,027
Speaker 2: Melbourne Storm and then just a bunch of teams, including

448
00:22:46,747 --> 00:22:50,627
Speaker 2: the Penrith Panthers obviously even manly last night, they are

449
00:22:50,667 --> 00:22:53,627
Speaker 2: still a good team, you know. But maybe it's just

450
00:22:53,707 --> 00:22:56,347
Speaker 2: going to be the Storm who clear out ahead of

451
00:22:56,387 --> 00:22:58,707
Speaker 2: everybody else and the rest of us are fighting for

452
00:22:58,787 --> 00:23:01,267
Speaker 2: those top A positions. Probably a bit of a bold

453
00:23:01,387 --> 00:23:04,467
Speaker 2: claim after just one of the bit rounds in the

454
00:23:04,587 --> 00:23:09,067
Speaker 2: NRL this year, twenty night away from one weekend sports kind.

455
00:23:08,987 --> 00:23:11,267
Speaker 3: Of take it own kicks down field with the belts

456
00:23:11,307 --> 00:23:13,067
Speaker 3: going take it down looking for it for a bit

457
00:23:13,107 --> 00:23:13,787
Speaker 3: knock gone by.

458
00:23:13,987 --> 00:23:18,187
Speaker 13: And he's a judgement holds try to check me.

459
00:23:18,227 --> 00:23:19,667
Speaker 1: Anyway where they come from.

460
00:23:19,867 --> 00:23:22,507
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Paul Ellison on the call last night of

461
00:23:22,627 --> 00:23:26,587
Speaker 2: the Highlanders against the Hurricanes. Unfortunately for the Highlanders, they

462
00:23:26,627 --> 00:23:28,667
Speaker 2: couldn't get the job done, even though they laid for

463
00:23:28,947 --> 00:23:31,667
Speaker 2: various stages during the game. The Hurricanes got up by

464
00:23:32,067 --> 00:23:35,907
Speaker 2: twenty points to eighteen off the back of a monumental

465
00:23:36,027 --> 00:23:39,947
Speaker 2: defensive effort in the last ten minutes. Hurricanes coach Clark

466
00:23:40,027 --> 00:23:42,347
Speaker 2: laidlawres with us from Duneda Airport, the team about to

467
00:23:42,387 --> 00:23:45,267
Speaker 2: fly home. How tense were the last ten or fifteen

468
00:23:45,307 --> 00:23:45,987
Speaker 2: minutes last night?

469
00:23:46,027 --> 00:23:46,187
Speaker 11: Mate?

470
00:23:48,027 --> 00:23:48,227
Speaker 14: Yeah?

471
00:23:48,307 --> 00:23:52,987
Speaker 9: Pretty tense. Yeah, we you know, I think we felt

472
00:23:53,027 --> 00:23:56,707
Speaker 9: like we'd minute difficult for ourselves. You felt like we

473
00:23:56,787 --> 00:24:00,467
Speaker 9: were on top for big parts of the game, but

474
00:24:00,507 --> 00:24:02,507
Speaker 9: then then they sat we scored half times, you know,

475
00:24:02,587 --> 00:24:04,947
Speaker 9: then we scored again. Then you know it sort of

476
00:24:05,027 --> 00:24:08,187
Speaker 9: kicks through and the bounce of the ball. So it felt,

477
00:24:08,267 --> 00:24:09,667
Speaker 9: you know, it felt like one of those nights where

478
00:24:10,067 --> 00:24:13,787
Speaker 9: you know, maybe it was going to get awareness. So yeah,

479
00:24:13,827 --> 00:24:15,627
Speaker 9: this sort of composure that we managed to show in

480
00:24:15,667 --> 00:24:18,587
Speaker 9: the last ten to fifty minutes, you know, the massive

481
00:24:18,627 --> 00:24:22,707
Speaker 9: sets and defense. Yeah, it was super pleasing to get

482
00:24:22,747 --> 00:24:23,787
Speaker 9: on the right side of a titland.

483
00:24:24,307 --> 00:24:26,107
Speaker 2: How many techos do you reckon your time made in

484
00:24:26,147 --> 00:24:29,187
Speaker 2: the last ten minutes, We'll say, well.

485
00:24:29,107 --> 00:24:32,827
Speaker 9: Somebody said one hundred. Wow, last night you said to

486
00:24:32,867 --> 00:24:34,467
Speaker 9: me we made a hundred tackles in the last ten minutes.

487
00:24:34,507 --> 00:24:37,907
Speaker 9: I'm not sure if that's if that's accurate, but man,

488
00:24:37,947 --> 00:24:41,867
Speaker 9: we made a lot. And yeah, Cory, Jane and in

489
00:24:41,947 --> 00:24:44,587
Speaker 9: the defensive group, yeah, they've been had in the last

490
00:24:44,627 --> 00:24:46,507
Speaker 9: couple of weeks, you know, around sum of our defense

491
00:24:46,587 --> 00:24:49,427
Speaker 9: and send the last week up in Auckland, we felt

492
00:24:49,467 --> 00:24:51,547
Speaker 9: we didn't defend well enough or for long enough period,

493
00:24:51,587 --> 00:24:55,027
Speaker 9: so that was a real focus when we took that

494
00:24:55,147 --> 00:24:58,707
Speaker 9: to the extreme last night. But yeah, really pleasing to

495
00:24:59,467 --> 00:25:03,187
Speaker 9: show that sort of heart in real care to try

496
00:25:03,187 --> 00:25:03,707
Speaker 9: and get the wins.

497
00:25:04,507 --> 00:25:06,587
Speaker 2: There's the commitment, of course of miking those tech but

498
00:25:06,667 --> 00:25:09,827
Speaker 2: also the discipline. You know, when you're only two points ahead,

499
00:25:10,227 --> 00:25:13,067
Speaker 2: any indiscretion and you know I get kickable penalty points,

500
00:25:13,107 --> 00:25:14,987
Speaker 2: so you must be placed with the discipline as well.

501
00:25:16,107 --> 00:25:18,347
Speaker 9: Yeah, and that's exactly you know, I think the whole

502
00:25:18,347 --> 00:25:20,907
Speaker 9: competition you've seen that if teams get ball and keep ball.

503
00:25:22,107 --> 00:25:25,267
Speaker 9: It's difficult to sort of stay on side and then

504
00:25:25,347 --> 00:25:28,347
Speaker 9: not give away a cheap penalty. So yeah, as you say,

505
00:25:28,427 --> 00:25:30,507
Speaker 9: for ten to fifteen minutes, you know, they obviously had

506
00:25:30,547 --> 00:25:34,347
Speaker 9: that shot at goal that they didn't manage to take.

507
00:25:34,347 --> 00:25:36,267
Speaker 9: And then after that we were, you know, were as

508
00:25:36,307 --> 00:25:39,507
Speaker 9: clean as we needed to be. And yeah, you go

509
00:25:39,507 --> 00:25:41,467
Speaker 9: over there was, I say, with a tight win.

510
00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:44,347
Speaker 2: One of your assistants, Jamie Macintosh, shit on the radio

511
00:25:44,387 --> 00:25:49,827
Speaker 2: this morning, dupless he's smart mouthguard measured over one hundred

512
00:25:50,267 --> 00:25:52,907
Speaker 2: points of contact in an ad a minute performance. How

513
00:25:52,947 --> 00:25:55,387
Speaker 2: big was his performance for you last night?

514
00:25:56,427 --> 00:25:56,627
Speaker 6: Yeah?

515
00:25:56,787 --> 00:25:57,067
Speaker 12: Huge?

516
00:25:58,707 --> 00:26:02,867
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean he's he's an awesome hurricane, and you

517
00:26:02,947 --> 00:26:07,027
Speaker 9: know he loves the team. He put his arms sold

518
00:26:07,067 --> 00:26:10,627
Speaker 9: into his preparation and his performance every week. And I

519
00:26:10,707 --> 00:26:13,107
Speaker 9: think what you're seeing now is a real maturity that's

520
00:26:13,107 --> 00:26:17,027
Speaker 9: given him that consistency. We had some really good charts

521
00:26:17,067 --> 00:26:21,587
Speaker 9: and off seasons. Yeah, just around how does he keep

522
00:26:21,667 --> 00:26:23,987
Speaker 9: mature and how does he take his game? You know

523
00:26:24,827 --> 00:26:26,627
Speaker 9: you're not going to make massive shift in his game now,

524
00:26:26,667 --> 00:26:30,147
Speaker 9: but the consistency is what you're saying. And yeah, the

525
00:26:30,187 --> 00:26:31,947
Speaker 9: amount of what he done both sides, you know, he

526
00:26:32,067 --> 00:26:34,427
Speaker 9: carried the ball. You know he was he was out

527
00:26:34,467 --> 00:26:37,787
Speaker 9: on his feet, wasn't he at the end? So yeah,

528
00:26:37,827 --> 00:26:39,707
Speaker 9: he should be really proud of his performance last night.

529
00:26:39,747 --> 00:26:43,867
Speaker 9: And yeah, we're really enjoying the drawing his way, the

530
00:26:43,907 --> 00:26:46,507
Speaker 9: way he's leading the team. And I think that responsibility

531
00:26:46,627 --> 00:26:48,147
Speaker 9: really thrives on you A reckon.

532
00:26:48,187 --> 00:26:50,027
Speaker 2: Scott Robertson is looking at him.

533
00:26:52,027 --> 00:26:56,587
Speaker 9: Oh, I guess so, I'm sure they're looking at all players. Yeah,

534
00:26:56,627 --> 00:26:58,307
Speaker 9: I think I'm making a conscious effort not to get

535
00:26:58,307 --> 00:27:02,267
Speaker 9: too distracted around all Blacks. And I said to somebody

536
00:27:02,347 --> 00:27:04,427
Speaker 9: last night asked me that sort of similar question. He

537
00:27:04,507 --> 00:27:07,947
Speaker 9: played like a Hurricanes captain. You know, that's that's what

538
00:27:08,067 --> 00:27:11,067
Speaker 9: we need and we want from them, you know, so we'll,

539
00:27:11,467 --> 00:27:12,907
Speaker 9: you know, we'll try and get the best out of them,

540
00:27:12,947 --> 00:27:15,747
Speaker 9: and if it's good enough at the back end of

541
00:27:15,747 --> 00:27:18,787
Speaker 9: the year to make all Blacks, then then cool. But yeah,

542
00:27:18,867 --> 00:27:20,867
Speaker 9: something I noticed last year, So it's a really difficult

543
00:27:20,907 --> 00:27:23,467
Speaker 9: team to make. We were a number of players that

544
00:27:23,507 --> 00:27:25,347
Speaker 9: played really well last year and didn't quite make it.

545
00:27:25,507 --> 00:27:29,707
Speaker 9: So say that was all the people too, they're sort

546
00:27:29,707 --> 00:27:30,267
Speaker 9: of out later.

547
00:27:30,107 --> 00:27:30,427
Speaker 11: In the year.

548
00:27:30,867 --> 00:27:34,027
Speaker 2: You're welcome back a sup more entirel Limix last night

549
00:27:34,067 --> 00:27:36,627
Speaker 2: that came throw. Okay, yeah they did.

550
00:27:37,027 --> 00:27:40,107
Speaker 9: I think it's a little bit stuffing. So they're starting

551
00:27:40,107 --> 00:27:42,627
Speaker 9: a little bit under done, you know, starting season late

552
00:27:42,667 --> 00:27:45,747
Speaker 9: and sort of walking into that type of game. But

553
00:27:45,947 --> 00:27:48,427
Speaker 9: now they were both they were both fine this morning.

554
00:27:48,507 --> 00:27:51,227
Speaker 9: And it's nice to see a scrump penalty, isn't it.

555
00:27:51,267 --> 00:27:54,467
Speaker 9: You know, we got some kindly hear that sort of

556
00:27:54,507 --> 00:27:57,747
Speaker 9: tight period of the game. And yeah, to say, I

557
00:27:57,787 --> 00:27:59,827
Speaker 9: thought the team last night looked looked a bit more

558
00:27:59,867 --> 00:28:01,107
Speaker 9: like the team we thought we would have at the

559
00:28:01,147 --> 00:28:04,067
Speaker 9: start of the year. And it's obviously been a trickie

560
00:28:04,067 --> 00:28:07,587
Speaker 9: start to the season with you know, NJ and players away,

561
00:28:07,707 --> 00:28:10,987
Speaker 9: and you know, we had one game in wanting, you know,

562
00:28:11,147 --> 00:28:14,787
Speaker 9: so to play five games. Yeah, we're maybe a couple

563
00:28:14,787 --> 00:28:17,507
Speaker 9: of show them what we wanted. But yeah, it's quite

564
00:28:17,587 --> 00:28:19,787
Speaker 9: nice going in the bye week to sort of reset.

565
00:28:20,027 --> 00:28:22,987
Speaker 9: It's been a big haul since was it the fifth

566
00:28:23,107 --> 00:28:26,147
Speaker 9: or sixth of January till now, so so yeah, everybody's

567
00:28:26,147 --> 00:28:28,747
Speaker 9: ready for a few days off and yeah we'll look

568
00:28:28,787 --> 00:28:30,627
Speaker 9: ahead to the water tas at the back end of

569
00:28:30,667 --> 00:28:30,907
Speaker 9: the week.

570
00:28:31,507 --> 00:28:33,707
Speaker 2: Why do you think Bilin Sullivan passed the ball to

571
00:28:33,787 --> 00:28:35,747
Speaker 2: came Roy guad when he was basically out of the

572
00:28:35,827 --> 00:28:37,267
Speaker 2: lawn himself for that second try.

573
00:28:39,547 --> 00:28:39,707
Speaker 12: Yeah.

574
00:28:39,747 --> 00:28:41,427
Speaker 9: Well, it's actually a funny thing about that, because that's

575
00:28:41,467 --> 00:28:45,147
Speaker 9: actually something I quite enjoy when I was coaching Simmons.

576
00:28:45,267 --> 00:28:47,227
Speaker 9: We we've done a big start on the difference between

577
00:28:47,307 --> 00:28:51,787
Speaker 9: kicking inside the fifteens and outside the fifteens. So maybe

578
00:28:51,787 --> 00:28:54,747
Speaker 9: I have to blame for thinking about stuff like that,

579
00:28:55,027 --> 00:28:59,267
Speaker 9: you know. So, and like Alimentley, we got inside the

580
00:28:59,307 --> 00:29:01,387
Speaker 9: fifteen and we kicked the conversion, won by two points,

581
00:29:01,467 --> 00:29:04,627
Speaker 9: you know, so sometimes people think it's a little bit

582
00:29:04,667 --> 00:29:09,667
Speaker 9: of showboating, but actually getting inside and scoring inside the

583
00:29:09,707 --> 00:29:12,867
Speaker 9: fifteen and kicking the conversion. You know, last week we

584
00:29:13,187 --> 00:29:14,947
Speaker 9: missed a conversion that would have given us a chance

585
00:29:14,987 --> 00:29:19,867
Speaker 9: to win the game against Mohana outside the fifteen. So yeah,

586
00:29:19,907 --> 00:29:21,907
Speaker 9: maybe maybe I have to play for that fair enough.

587
00:29:22,027 --> 00:29:23,507
Speaker 2: Well, good tonight, there's a method on it and that

588
00:29:23,587 --> 00:29:26,227
Speaker 2: sevens does trainslide across the fifteens. Good tonight. Just before

589
00:29:26,267 --> 00:29:27,827
Speaker 2: you got I think I can hear your flat being cold.

590
00:29:28,307 --> 00:29:30,307
Speaker 2: How big a win is this for you?

591
00:29:32,267 --> 00:29:34,347
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's big in the context of what's happened the

592
00:29:34,427 --> 00:29:38,187
Speaker 9: last few weeks. You know, I thought we played really

593
00:29:38,187 --> 00:29:40,587
Speaker 9: well against considers for most part, and you know, we

594
00:29:40,947 --> 00:29:44,307
Speaker 9: we maybe could have could have won that game. We

595
00:29:44,427 --> 00:29:47,067
Speaker 9: obviously beat the Druer. I thought we should have beat

596
00:29:47,107 --> 00:29:48,627
Speaker 9: the Blues. You know at twenty nine to twenty one.

597
00:29:50,027 --> 00:29:53,467
Speaker 9: We're opportunities there to close that game out. And then

598
00:29:53,507 --> 00:29:57,107
Speaker 9: we played poorly against Mohana, you know, so it saved

599
00:29:57,147 --> 00:29:59,427
Speaker 9: me a tricky start, so to get a win. You

600
00:29:59,507 --> 00:30:01,427
Speaker 9: can see the competition is going to be super tight.

601
00:30:03,307 --> 00:30:05,347
Speaker 9: Winning your home games and picking up a couple away

602
00:30:05,387 --> 00:30:08,227
Speaker 9: from home, it's probably going to take you pretty close

603
00:30:08,227 --> 00:30:10,787
Speaker 9: to those playoffs. So we're well aware of what the

604
00:30:10,787 --> 00:30:14,387
Speaker 9: competition is going to look like. But you start digging

605
00:30:14,387 --> 00:30:16,347
Speaker 9: yourself a pretty deep hole, if you know, if you

606
00:30:16,387 --> 00:30:18,227
Speaker 9: lose again last night, and then we've got a big

607
00:30:18,227 --> 00:30:20,507
Speaker 9: book of games after the bye with some really tough games.

608
00:30:20,547 --> 00:30:23,627
Speaker 9: So yeah, it was it was. It was a big wind.

609
00:30:23,707 --> 00:30:27,307
Speaker 9: It was important to get back on track and as

610
00:30:27,347 --> 00:30:29,267
Speaker 9: I say, the buys you know, come out quite a

611
00:30:29,307 --> 00:30:32,587
Speaker 9: nice time where we can reset and then get ready

612
00:30:32,627 --> 00:30:35,387
Speaker 9: for a big six block, six game block in the

613
00:30:35,387 --> 00:30:36,027
Speaker 9: middle of the season.

614
00:30:36,387 --> 00:30:38,667
Speaker 2: Congrats on the victory, Clark enjoyed the bye week. Thanks

615
00:30:38,667 --> 00:30:40,987
Speaker 2: for the check mate, Thank you, no thank you Clark

616
00:30:40,987 --> 00:30:43,747
Speaker 2: Clark led love there from Danneeda and Airport. Hurricanes flying

617
00:30:43,787 --> 00:30:46,987
Speaker 2: home with the win from last night's game against the Highlanders.

618
00:30:46,987 --> 00:30:49,867
Speaker 2: Your thoughts eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Look, I'm

619
00:30:49,907 --> 00:30:51,987
Speaker 2: not that one eyed. I know the Hurricanes got lucky

620
00:30:52,027 --> 00:30:56,507
Speaker 2: at the end Peter Rumanga Jensen with what was a

621
00:30:56,587 --> 00:31:00,627
Speaker 2: high tackle missed by the referee, missed by the assistant referee.

622
00:31:01,547 --> 00:31:04,067
Speaker 2: It would have been a penalty, it would have been

623
00:31:04,107 --> 00:31:07,107
Speaker 2: a tough kick from out wide, but it would have

624
00:31:07,227 --> 00:31:11,907
Speaker 2: been an opportunity to win the game. So that was

625
00:31:11,987 --> 00:31:14,947
Speaker 2: missed and that was a bit of luck as far

626
00:31:14,987 --> 00:31:19,307
Speaker 2: as the Hurricanes were concerned. The reason it wasn't referred

627
00:31:19,347 --> 00:31:22,427
Speaker 2: to the TMO is because the TMO can only intervene

628
00:31:23,027 --> 00:31:26,027
Speaker 2: if it is a yellow card offense or higher, and

629
00:31:26,507 --> 00:31:30,387
Speaker 2: it wasn't. It was a high tackle, yes, a penalty, absolutely,

630
00:31:30,787 --> 00:31:33,947
Speaker 2: but the TMO can't come in unless it is a

631
00:31:34,027 --> 00:31:37,667
Speaker 2: yellow card offense and it wasn't. So I guess that

632
00:31:37,747 --> 00:31:39,427
Speaker 2: plays into the favor of the Hurricanes. And that's what

633
00:31:39,467 --> 00:31:41,187
Speaker 2: we've been saying for a while is when I want

634
00:31:41,227 --> 00:31:44,027
Speaker 2: the TMO coming in here, there and everywhere, we want

635
00:31:44,147 --> 00:31:46,747
Speaker 2: the game to be refereed on the grass and so

636
00:31:47,507 --> 00:31:51,067
Speaker 2: that was missed. Hurricanes qut lucky. The decision to take

637
00:31:51,147 --> 00:31:53,427
Speaker 2: the drop goal at the end was interesting for me.

638
00:31:53,507 --> 00:31:55,587
Speaker 2: I don't know what you think about this, but maybe

639
00:31:55,627 --> 00:31:59,507
Speaker 2: the Heighland has just decided, after being repelled time and

640
00:31:59,627 --> 00:32:03,827
Speaker 2: time and time again by the hurricanes excellent defense, that

641
00:32:03,947 --> 00:32:05,507
Speaker 2: a dropy was the best way to win the game.

642
00:32:06,747 --> 00:32:10,027
Speaker 2: And hindsight's always a wonderful thing in sport, and if

643
00:32:10,027 --> 00:32:11,667
Speaker 2: it's a few meters to the right, we're having a

644
00:32:11,747 --> 00:32:13,827
Speaker 2: very different conversation. But I just wonder whether they, given

645
00:32:13,827 --> 00:32:17,587
Speaker 2: their time again, whether they would keep on, you know,

646
00:32:17,987 --> 00:32:22,467
Speaker 2: battering away at the Hurricanes. They were very accurate, their

647
00:32:22,547 --> 00:32:27,387
Speaker 2: ball handling was good. Obviously in Dunedin there's no worries

648
00:32:27,427 --> 00:32:30,227
Speaker 2: with dew on the ball and things like that. But

649
00:32:30,387 --> 00:32:32,907
Speaker 2: they had been repelled over and over again. So maybe

650
00:32:32,987 --> 00:32:36,267
Speaker 2: it's just a case of, look, we're not really going

651
00:32:36,307 --> 00:32:39,067
Speaker 2: to get any change here. We're all about naked as well,

652
00:32:39,867 --> 00:32:45,107
Speaker 2: rather than let fatigue play its part, and you know,

653
00:32:45,547 --> 00:32:47,707
Speaker 2: perhaps it's decided the game. We'll have a droppy. He

654
00:32:47,827 --> 00:32:50,387
Speaker 2: was in good position, wasn't he. Kammeller the for the

655
00:32:51,867 --> 00:32:56,067
Speaker 2: for the shot at goal unfortunately though off to the left.

656
00:32:56,107 --> 00:32:59,747
Speaker 2: As far as sorry, did I say Miller Gilbert, I

657
00:32:59,827 --> 00:33:05,907
Speaker 2: meant Gilbert with the shot, and here we are with

658
00:33:05,947 --> 00:33:10,987
Speaker 2: the result duplicqudife without question in the All Blacks conversation.

659
00:33:11,147 --> 00:33:14,507
Speaker 2: Now you look at the guys playing seven around super

660
00:33:14,587 --> 00:33:17,987
Speaker 2: rugby with Sam Caine gone, Obviously there's a vacancy there

661
00:33:18,107 --> 00:33:21,427
Speaker 2: in the loose forward cohort for the All Blacks. Dalton

662
00:33:21,467 --> 00:33:24,107
Speaker 2: papala is the most experienced of them in terms of

663
00:33:24,827 --> 00:33:27,307
Speaker 2: higher honors, says there Sean Whither. I think's been good

664
00:33:27,507 --> 00:33:29,467
Speaker 2: for the Highlanders. The Chiefs have got some fairly handy

665
00:33:29,547 --> 00:33:34,667
Speaker 2: Lucy's ethan Blackadder if he can stay fit. But I

666
00:33:34,707 --> 00:33:36,947
Speaker 2: think duplic codif he has to be in the conversation,

667
00:33:37,427 --> 00:33:41,147
Speaker 2: has to be that stat that I mentioned. Jamie Macintosh

668
00:33:41,267 --> 00:33:46,627
Speaker 2: I heard this morning on z B and Wellington say that, yeah,

669
00:33:46,747 --> 00:33:51,787
Speaker 2: one hundred plus contacts in that game because they wear

670
00:33:51,787 --> 00:33:55,587
Speaker 2: the smart mouthguard, which obviously measures these things and also

671
00:33:56,267 --> 00:33:57,947
Speaker 2: tells you whether you need to go for an HIA.

672
00:33:58,707 --> 00:34:03,627
Speaker 2: It measured over one hundred instances of contact, so clean

673
00:34:03,707 --> 00:34:09,307
Speaker 2: outs tackles ball carries one hundred and eighty minutes from

674
00:34:09,387 --> 00:34:12,627
Speaker 2: one bloke, so yeah, he has to be in the conversation.

675
00:34:12,787 --> 00:34:15,467
Speaker 2: And just before we go to the break and take

676
00:34:15,507 --> 00:34:17,627
Speaker 2: some of your calls, I'm not sure about the Marvel

677
00:34:17,787 --> 00:34:22,787
Speaker 2: jerseys that they're wearing. I totally get the concept. I

678
00:34:22,987 --> 00:34:26,547
Speaker 2: totally understand the concept that they want to try something

679
00:34:26,587 --> 00:34:29,827
Speaker 2: different with it being kids round and you know, dressing

680
00:34:29,907 --> 00:34:33,267
Speaker 2: up as characters from the Marvel universe. But when that

681
00:34:33,347 --> 00:34:35,227
Speaker 2: game started last night, and first of all, watching the

682
00:34:35,307 --> 00:34:39,347
Speaker 2: Hurricanes and Blue was a bit jarring, and then you

683
00:34:39,427 --> 00:34:41,747
Speaker 2: know they were obviously Captain America and the Highlanders were

684
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:45,067
Speaker 2: there as the Hulk. It was just a tough watch

685
00:34:45,307 --> 00:34:49,587
Speaker 2: esthetically speaking, to watch two teams in a very similar strip,

686
00:34:50,067 --> 00:34:53,907
Speaker 2: both dark strips out there. I mean, at very least

687
00:34:53,907 --> 00:34:56,187
Speaker 2: the Hurricanes could have gone for you know, a character

688
00:34:56,307 --> 00:34:59,347
Speaker 2: that had more of a yellow tinge to it, a

689
00:34:59,547 --> 00:35:02,107
Speaker 2: wolverine or someone like that. I don't know, but yeah,

690
00:35:02,107 --> 00:35:03,467
Speaker 2: I get what they're doing, but it was a pretty

691
00:35:03,467 --> 00:35:06,707
Speaker 2: tough watch. Oh, eight hundred and eight ten in eighty

692
00:35:06,907 --> 00:35:08,827
Speaker 2: nine two nine two on text, there's take and calls

00:35:11,547 --> 00:35:14,467
Speaker 2: this is your chance to talk some Friday footy back

Speaker 2: the Warriors as well. Only tw one o'clock We're going

703
00:35:34,547 --> 00:35:38,187
Speaker 2: to shift across to Formula one after one talk Lillam

706
00:35:45,067 --> 00:35:47,507
Speaker 2: for the first time at the Albert Park circuit at

707
00:35:47,507 --> 00:35:50,147
Speaker 2: the Melbourne Grand Prix. But talking rugby and rugby league

708
00:35:50,147 --> 00:35:52,227
Speaker 2: are eight hundred and eighty ten eighty A pile of

709
00:35:52,747 --> 00:35:54,947
Speaker 2: texts coming in which I can get to, but keen

710
00:35:54,987 --> 00:35:56,867
Speaker 2: to get your thoughts if you want to pick up

711
00:35:56,867 --> 00:35:58,947
Speaker 2: the phone. You can't be too one eyed about the

712
00:35:59,267 --> 00:36:01,867
Speaker 2: officiating in the league. Last night Party says this is

713
00:36:01,907 --> 00:36:05,027
Speaker 2: one both Wade Egan and Roger two I vasa Check's

714
00:36:05,067 --> 00:36:09,427
Speaker 2: tries were not clear I'm surprised they were both awarded. Yeah,

715
00:36:10,027 --> 00:36:11,747
Speaker 2: I'm not sure Wade Egan got his one down. I

716
00:36:11,747 --> 00:36:14,267
Speaker 2: think the Roger one was there was a suggestion of

717
00:36:14,307 --> 00:36:17,027
Speaker 2: a double movement. It felt to me though, like he

718
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:20,307
Speaker 2: dived and his momentum took him took him to the

719
00:36:20,387 --> 00:36:22,867
Speaker 2: try line. That one was I think more clear cut

720
00:36:23,387 --> 00:36:24,867
Speaker 2: than the Wade Egan one. I think you're right about

721
00:36:24,867 --> 00:36:26,067
Speaker 2: the Wade Egan one. I'm not sure that there was

722
00:36:26,107 --> 00:36:30,347
Speaker 2: an angle that conclusively showed that he got that ball down.

723
00:36:30,627 --> 00:36:32,307
Speaker 2: So at least they went with the on field decision,

724
00:36:32,747 --> 00:36:36,867
Speaker 2: which was try, rather than trying to forensically analyze whether

725
00:36:36,987 --> 00:36:41,227
Speaker 2: or not he got it down. It didn't actually it

726
00:36:41,307 --> 00:36:44,307
Speaker 2: didn't actually matter in the overall scheme of things. And

727
00:36:45,707 --> 00:36:50,027
Speaker 2: you know, there was there was doubt over Jason Saab's

728
00:36:50,027 --> 00:36:54,347
Speaker 2: try in the corner, you know, whether he got downward

729
00:36:54,427 --> 00:36:58,267
Speaker 2: force on that. A couple of others here. They couldn't

730
00:36:58,307 --> 00:37:02,427
Speaker 2: use Wolverine, that's a d C character, not Marvel sees Zane.

731
00:37:02,867 --> 00:37:05,467
Speaker 2: I do agree, though maybe the money would be better

732
00:37:05,507 --> 00:37:08,307
Speaker 2: spent on getting kids to the games. Yeah, that's a

733
00:37:08,387 --> 00:37:11,547
Speaker 2: good point again, I get it. Look, I don't mind

734
00:37:11,587 --> 00:37:14,947
Speaker 2: the innovation I don't mind them trying things. That's good.

735
00:37:15,467 --> 00:37:17,667
Speaker 2: You know, nothing should be off the table in the

736
00:37:17,707 --> 00:37:19,227
Speaker 2: quest to try and to treat more people to the

737
00:37:19,307 --> 00:37:21,867
Speaker 2: games and get people talking about them. I just thought

738
00:37:21,867 --> 00:37:25,147
Speaker 2: it was already like when I turn it on, there

739
00:37:25,227 --> 00:37:27,147
Speaker 2: was these two teams. One of them was in green,

740
00:37:27,187 --> 00:37:28,427
Speaker 2: one of them was in blue. I didn't know which

741
00:37:28,467 --> 00:37:31,267
Speaker 2: team was mine. I didn't know which was my team.

742
00:37:31,307 --> 00:37:34,987
Speaker 15: Hello, Phil, get akay pointyeel good.

743
00:37:35,307 --> 00:37:36,947
Speaker 2: I'm good Phil. Good to hear your voice.

744
00:37:37,947 --> 00:37:40,387
Speaker 15: Oh excellent, Thank you very much. Always good to listen

745
00:37:40,427 --> 00:37:44,187
Speaker 15: to you too. I'm bloody annoyed at the Warrior's pointy.

746
00:37:44,587 --> 00:37:47,067
Speaker 2: Why is that felm? Did you beat against them?

747
00:37:48,267 --> 00:37:48,307
Speaker 6: No?

748
00:37:48,947 --> 00:37:52,147
Speaker 15: No, no, although they probably wouldn't have been a pad

749
00:37:52,507 --> 00:37:56,907
Speaker 15: bit because I'm probably thinking Manly was probably favored, But no, no,

750
00:37:57,107 --> 00:38:00,587
Speaker 15: because they played the same bloody time the the rugby

751
00:38:00,707 --> 00:38:02,827
Speaker 15: was on the foot, I couldn't both games.

752
00:38:04,867 --> 00:38:07,507
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was an interesting choice, wasn't it. You're right,

753
00:38:07,547 --> 00:38:10,307
Speaker 2: but the Hurricanes and Islanders kicking off at seven, and

754
00:38:10,387 --> 00:38:12,187
Speaker 2: then the worries that at least you got the first

755
00:38:12,267 --> 00:38:14,427
Speaker 2: half of the rugby before you had to make your decisions.

756
00:38:14,747 --> 00:38:17,547
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's yeah, it's it makes for a pretty

757
00:38:17,587 --> 00:38:19,507
Speaker 2: challenging use of the remote, doesn't it.

758
00:38:21,067 --> 00:38:21,507
Speaker 1: That does.

759
00:38:22,067 --> 00:38:26,067
Speaker 15: And actually I could have with the sky Sky Sport

760
00:38:26,187 --> 00:38:30,307
Speaker 15: that I've got, I can actually watch AWS it and

761
00:38:30,427 --> 00:38:32,747
Speaker 15: watch it you know, an hour or later or something

762
00:38:32,867 --> 00:38:35,707
Speaker 15: like that. So i'd just been a bit I deciye

763
00:38:35,787 --> 00:38:37,667
Speaker 15: wee bit of a funny man. Yeah, but I did.

764
00:38:37,787 --> 00:38:41,987
Speaker 15: I flicked over at one stage and I think it

765
00:38:42,067 --> 00:38:44,347
Speaker 15: was about twenty minutes into it into the game, and

766
00:38:45,027 --> 00:38:48,627
Speaker 15: they were six mainly or six new up and I thought, oh,

767
00:38:48,667 --> 00:38:52,227
Speaker 15: well that's okay, it's not bad because yeah, so but

768
00:38:52,307 --> 00:38:54,627
Speaker 15: then I went back to the rugby and I watched

769
00:38:54,627 --> 00:38:59,587
Speaker 15: the Highlanders and the Hurricanes and the Drewer and the Brumbies,

770
00:38:59,627 --> 00:39:02,427
Speaker 15: and yeah, it's always been at heart, I love him

771
00:39:02,427 --> 00:39:04,467
Speaker 15: a rugby league, but I've always been a rugby man

772
00:39:04,547 --> 00:39:10,467
Speaker 15: at heart. But I yeah, I think last night with

773
00:39:10,547 --> 00:39:15,987
Speaker 15: the TMO, it was a good situation there where unlike

774
00:39:16,067 --> 00:39:19,147
Speaker 15: last year with a TMO was starting to spoil the game,

775
00:39:19,187 --> 00:39:20,987
Speaker 15: you know, by coming in all the time and stuffing

776
00:39:21,067 --> 00:39:25,147
Speaker 15: and starting and going back phases and overturning the ref

777
00:39:25,227 --> 00:39:27,867
Speaker 15: and that sort of thing. Like in the Drewer game,

778
00:39:28,747 --> 00:39:32,867
Speaker 15: the drew and Brumbies game. There was a fellow got

779
00:39:32,947 --> 00:39:34,907
Speaker 15: the Troy there for g and guy got the Troy,

780
00:39:35,027 --> 00:39:37,187
Speaker 15: but it looked like he had the Troy and the

781
00:39:37,307 --> 00:39:40,507
Speaker 15: Brumby captain was going, no, no, no, he's lost a

782
00:39:40,667 --> 00:39:43,107
Speaker 15: ref And I don't know who made the call or

783
00:39:43,147 --> 00:39:45,507
Speaker 15: with the TMO come in. But the TMO come and

784
00:39:46,147 --> 00:39:49,867
Speaker 15: they awarded the Troy. But then the reft But then

785
00:39:49,947 --> 00:39:52,387
Speaker 15: the TMO come and they reviewed it, and yeah, when

786
00:39:52,427 --> 00:39:54,347
Speaker 15: they reviewed it, it was clear to see that he

787
00:39:54,667 --> 00:39:57,107
Speaker 15: had actually lost the ball. So I thought, in that case,

788
00:39:57,627 --> 00:40:00,147
Speaker 15: that was a good use of the TMO and how

789
00:40:00,187 --> 00:40:03,987
Speaker 15: it should be. And it was interesting with the TMO

790
00:40:04,107 --> 00:40:06,347
Speaker 15: and the high tackle not coming in because I thought

791
00:40:06,387 --> 00:40:08,947
Speaker 15: it initially, oh geez, there we go. That's that's a penalty,

792
00:40:09,547 --> 00:40:12,587
Speaker 15: especially you know the twenty six phases of defending and that,

793
00:40:12,707 --> 00:40:15,187
Speaker 15: and they would have the chance of getting that the

794
00:40:15,387 --> 00:40:16,747
Speaker 15: penalty kick.

795
00:40:17,307 --> 00:40:19,107
Speaker 2: But yeah, Phil, I don't need to move. I've got

796
00:40:19,147 --> 00:40:20,467
Speaker 2: one more call to get to before the top of

797
00:40:20,467 --> 00:40:22,387
Speaker 2: the hour. But thank you for calling. And I yeah,

798
00:40:22,427 --> 00:40:24,267
Speaker 2: I think if you're a Highlanders fan, you're like, yeah,

799
00:40:24,307 --> 00:40:26,867
Speaker 2: why why wasn't that looked at? It was just missed

800
00:40:26,907 --> 00:40:30,547
Speaker 2: on the field. Unfortunately for for for Highlanders fans, could

801
00:40:30,547 --> 00:40:32,587
Speaker 2: I ben thanks for calling, Hey.

802
00:40:32,547 --> 00:40:36,427
Speaker 7: Boyne, here you go men? Hey that it was talking

803
00:40:36,427 --> 00:40:39,747
Speaker 7: about a closure, the pleasure, the times, the yeah, the

804
00:40:39,787 --> 00:40:41,267
Speaker 7: rugby on at the same time as the league that

805
00:40:41,907 --> 00:40:43,787
Speaker 7: I managed to get the first fun on the Canes

806
00:40:43,827 --> 00:40:46,707
Speaker 7: and the Hurricanes, and I I was reached for the

807
00:40:46,787 --> 00:40:51,947
Speaker 7: remote to turn it off and and and absolutely discussed

808
00:40:52,627 --> 00:40:55,267
Speaker 7: with the way the rugby has been changing, against rules

809
00:40:55,307 --> 00:40:59,507
Speaker 7: and whatnot. When the Mossy knocked the guy out just

810
00:40:59,627 --> 00:41:03,467
Speaker 7: through just for a just for a sheer determined run

811
00:41:04,027 --> 00:41:06,227
Speaker 7: up the field, and they were talking about yellow car

812
00:41:06,947 --> 00:41:09,347
Speaker 7: and I thought to myself, is he going to get

813
00:41:09,387 --> 00:41:12,987
Speaker 7: a yellow card for running at this guy and bowling

814
00:41:13,067 --> 00:41:18,027
Speaker 7: him over and and carrying on? And yeah, I thought

815
00:41:18,107 --> 00:41:19,667
Speaker 7: that was how it was going to end up. Was

816
00:41:21,067 --> 00:41:24,147
Speaker 7: I was going to get a yellow card? And the

817
00:41:24,267 --> 00:41:27,867
Speaker 7: poor bugger that got knocked out of course when he

818
00:41:27,947 --> 00:41:33,107
Speaker 7: woke up, you bet yellow card, thanks thanks for coming

819
00:41:33,227 --> 00:41:38,547
Speaker 7: and he's your consolation prize. I mean that was yeah,

820
00:41:38,587 --> 00:41:40,347
Speaker 7: I was about to reach for the remote. I thought

821
00:41:40,387 --> 00:41:42,827
Speaker 7: that the way that the way the regue is going,

822
00:41:42,867 --> 00:41:45,307
Speaker 7: which is why I at half time switched over to

823
00:41:45,347 --> 00:41:49,587
Speaker 7: wats the what's the w Yeah, just just well but

824
00:41:50,267 --> 00:41:53,147
Speaker 7: how good man and right at the end like that

825
00:41:53,347 --> 00:41:57,227
Speaker 7: the cherries on the top of Mecca was was exactly

826
00:41:57,307 --> 00:42:00,467
Speaker 7: there and what a way to do it? Just because yeah,

827
00:42:00,867 --> 00:42:03,827
Speaker 7: because I heard the fact that he got last week

828
00:42:03,907 --> 00:42:06,027
Speaker 7: and and what a way to do it, just to

829
00:42:07,787 --> 00:42:12,707
Speaker 7: Cherry Evans Man, what a team, what.

830
00:42:12,787 --> 00:42:14,827
Speaker 2: A game it was. Ben got a move mate, But

831

834
00:42:21,387 --> 00:42:25,067
Speaker 2: I'm told by multiple sources here on text. So Wolverine

835
00:42:25,147 --> 00:42:27,307
Speaker 2: could have been used by the Hurricanes last night. Missed

836
00:42:27,307 --> 00:42:29,667
Speaker 2: opportunity Formula one after one o'clock.

844
00:42:50,987 --> 00:42:54,507
Speaker 2: our focus in the next half hour or so, can

845
00:42:54,587 --> 00:42:59,147
Speaker 2: you get your thoughts on on Liam Lawson's prospects for

846
00:42:59,787 --> 00:43:02,627
Speaker 2: his first drive as a full time Formula One driver

847
00:43:02,747 --> 00:43:05,267
Speaker 2: with Red Ball. That's tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock. We've

848
00:43:05,307 --> 00:43:06,947
Speaker 2: got quite a bit of Formut one on the show

849
00:43:07,027 --> 00:43:10,387
Speaker 2: for you tomorrow as well. So yeah, Albert Park and

850
00:43:10,747 --> 00:43:13,547
Speaker 2: the Melbourne Grand Prix certainly a big part of what

851
00:43:13,627 --> 00:43:16,147
Speaker 2: we're about this weekend. It's been something that's been talked

852
00:43:16,147 --> 00:43:19,707
Speaker 2: about for a long long time. Not the happiest of

853
00:43:20,347 --> 00:43:23,547
Speaker 2: first days. In terms of practice for Liam Lawson yesterday

854
00:43:24,307 --> 00:43:26,587
Speaker 2: we'll find out a bit more about what he needs

855
00:43:26,627 --> 00:43:29,867
Speaker 2: to do today in qualifying and whether they can just

856
00:43:29,947 --> 00:43:32,907
Speaker 2: make this cargo a bit faster to catch up to

857
00:43:32,987 --> 00:43:36,907
Speaker 2: the slightly faster other cars on the track. Bob McMurray

858
00:43:36,947 --> 00:43:40,867
Speaker 2: along shortly Greg Murphy also this out your calls and correspondence.

859
00:43:40,947 --> 00:43:44,107
Speaker 2: Welcome to on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. In

860
00:43:44,227 --> 00:43:47,707
Speaker 2: terms of timing, Liam Lawson one more practice ahead of

861
00:43:47,787 --> 00:43:50,587
Speaker 2: qualifying that'll go from around two thirty this afternoon. Qualifying

862
00:43:51,067 --> 00:43:53,947
Speaker 2: set for six o'clock tonight, New Zealand time, and then

863
00:43:54,027 --> 00:43:59,667
Speaker 2: of course the race itself tomorrow at five o'clock. See,

864
00:43:59,667 --> 00:44:01,587
Speaker 2: it's been a well, I was going to say, it's

865
00:44:01,587 --> 00:44:03,787
Speaker 2: been a long time coming, but it's been talked about

866
00:44:03,827 --> 00:44:06,147
Speaker 2: for a long time. I remember Liam Lawson as a

867
00:44:07,147 --> 00:44:09,587
Speaker 2: sixteen year old being in studio at z BE with

868
00:44:10,387 --> 00:44:14,267
Speaker 2: our next guest, and even back then he was determined

869
00:44:14,267 --> 00:44:16,387
Speaker 2: to do this and here we are, Here we are.

870
00:44:17,187 --> 00:44:19,107
Speaker 2: He's looking for a bit of extra speed though. His

871
00:44:19,227 --> 00:44:22,587
Speaker 2: first two practice practice sessions on the Albert Park track yesterday,

872
00:44:22,627 --> 00:44:26,347
Speaker 2: Liam Lawson saw him set the sixteenth and seventeenth fast

873
00:44:26,547 --> 00:44:29,747
Speaker 2: times in the two outings. McLaren's Orlando Noras set the

874
00:44:29,747 --> 00:44:31,947
Speaker 2: pace in the first session, third and the second session.

875
00:44:32,307 --> 00:44:36,427
Speaker 2: Charl Leclair also pretty quick, highly respected motorsport identity and

876
00:44:36,627 --> 00:44:39,627
Speaker 2: bringing the experience of three decades with McLaren Formula one

877
00:44:39,907 --> 00:44:42,587
Speaker 2: to the show. Bob McMurray is with us, Bob good

878
00:44:42,627 --> 00:44:45,667
Speaker 2: to chat is always what can or should we read

879
00:44:46,227 --> 00:44:48,627
Speaker 2: into Liam's practice times yesterday?

880
00:44:50,547 --> 00:44:53,507
Speaker 16: Hi, piney, Well, yes, that's a big call, but not

881
00:44:53,667 --> 00:44:57,627
Speaker 16: a lot, is my first reaction. That was day one

882
00:44:57,907 --> 00:45:00,707
Speaker 16: out of seventy two days. He's got another seventy one

883
00:45:00,787 --> 00:45:06,907
Speaker 16: to go the second one today. Yes he was he

884
00:45:07,107 --> 00:45:09,387
Speaker 16: was slow, There's no doubt about it. He was slow.

885
00:45:09,867 --> 00:45:11,827
Speaker 16: But the only thing he's got to think about really

886
00:45:12,027 --> 00:45:14,667
Speaker 16: is that he is going to be compared to his teammate,

887
00:45:15,227 --> 00:45:19,867
Speaker 16: and his teammate, Max Restappan is also struggling now. In

888
00:45:19,947 --> 00:45:24,867
Speaker 16: the second session, Liam was half a second, just over

889
00:45:24,947 --> 00:45:28,347
Speaker 16: half a second slower than Stappen. And that's not so

890
00:45:28,507 --> 00:45:32,747
Speaker 16: bad really in a car that is clearly a bit reculcitrant.

891
00:45:32,867 --> 00:45:32,907
Speaker 11: No.

892
00:45:33,067 --> 00:45:37,227
Speaker 16: Ronnie read last night that in many ways Liam's car

893
00:45:37,507 --> 00:45:39,827
Speaker 16: was different to max is in that Liam was running

894
00:45:39,867 --> 00:45:42,707
Speaker 16: the old floor and the old space nose and things

895
00:45:42,787 --> 00:45:46,787
Speaker 16: like that, so they are experimenting. It doesn't take away

896
00:45:46,827 --> 00:45:49,027
Speaker 16: the fact that he's seventeenth or something on the grid

897
00:45:49,107 --> 00:45:51,307
Speaker 16: and everybody was expecting him or not on the grid

898
00:45:51,427 --> 00:45:54,627
Speaker 16: so in practice, and everybody was expecting him to be,

899
00:45:54,947 --> 00:45:57,067
Speaker 16: you know, right up there with Max and all the

900
00:45:57,147 --> 00:45:59,587
Speaker 16: rest of the stuff. But for goodness sakes, give the

901
00:45:59,587 --> 00:46:03,587
Speaker 16: blood the chance. He's never been to Melbourne as a

902
00:46:03,827 --> 00:46:07,547
Speaker 16: racing driver before. He's never been in a session as

903
00:46:07,627 --> 00:46:12,067
Speaker 16: intense as this before. He's in a situation now where

904
00:46:12,147 --> 00:46:15,467
Speaker 16: people are going to comment if he doesn't shave that day,

905
00:46:15,987 --> 00:46:18,227
Speaker 16: or if he you know, seems to have one eye

906
00:46:18,267 --> 00:46:20,507
Speaker 16: shorter than the other or something like that. He is

907
00:46:20,707 --> 00:46:23,947
Speaker 16: under intense scrutiny and it's got to. I don't know

908
00:46:24,067 --> 00:46:25,867
Speaker 16: how strong he is. It's going to take a little

909
00:46:25,907 --> 00:46:27,467
Speaker 16: bit of time to get your bum in the seat

910
00:46:27,747 --> 00:46:29,707
Speaker 16: and to get used to all that stuff going on

911
00:46:29,787 --> 00:46:33,547
Speaker 16: around you. So, yes, he was slow. I don't put

912
00:46:33,627 --> 00:46:39,067
Speaker 16: it down to anything other than fuel loads, trying to

913
00:46:39,067 --> 00:46:40,947
Speaker 16: get the car to work and all the other stuff.

914
00:46:41,067 --> 00:46:44,827
Speaker 16: Unfamiliarity with the track and that sort of thing. So

915
00:46:45,067 --> 00:46:47,027
Speaker 16: if he's over the rest of the weekend, time, but

916
00:46:47,147 --> 00:46:49,907
Speaker 16: he's got to he's just got to start learning every

917
00:46:50,027 --> 00:46:52,427
Speaker 16: single second he gets to get that car fast. As

918
00:46:52,467 --> 00:46:52,907
Speaker 16: simple as that.

919
00:46:53,587 --> 00:46:55,827
Speaker 2: You want to come back to talking about the car

920
00:46:55,947 --> 00:46:57,707
Speaker 2: and the speed of it and Liam's driving in a moment.

921
00:46:57,747 --> 00:46:59,307
Speaker 2: But something you said there is really interesting to me,

922
00:46:59,347 --> 00:47:02,907
Speaker 2: and that is the intense spotlight that goes on to

923
00:47:02,987 --> 00:47:05,387
Speaker 2: her and all of these drivers when they reach, you know,

924
00:47:05,627 --> 00:47:08,547
Speaker 2: the elite level of being a full time Formula One driver.

925
00:47:08,667 --> 00:47:10,747
Speaker 2: You've known Liam for a long time. How do your

926
00:47:10,787 --> 00:47:12,107
Speaker 2: assist his ability to cope with that?

927
00:47:13,467 --> 00:47:17,787
Speaker 16: Oh? He has the ability, no doubt. He's a pretty

928
00:47:17,867 --> 00:47:22,267
Speaker 16: determined young man. He's a fairly brusque young man on

929
00:47:22,387 --> 00:47:24,947
Speaker 16: the track, as was proven by his performances last year

930
00:47:25,027 --> 00:47:27,547
Speaker 16: when he was getting in all sorts of clashes, but

931
00:47:27,627 --> 00:47:31,107
Speaker 16: he is being looked at. A little example yesterday from

932
00:47:31,147 --> 00:47:33,067
Speaker 16: people who should know better. He was coming out of

933
00:47:33,107 --> 00:47:35,587
Speaker 16: the bits. I don't know if anybody saw this. As

934
00:47:35,747 --> 00:47:39,267
Speaker 16: cars do, they leave quite a lot of space between

935
00:47:39,347 --> 00:47:41,387
Speaker 16: them and the car in front so they can get

936
00:47:41,587 --> 00:47:45,507
Speaker 16: some space to not be in the sleet stream and

937
00:47:45,547 --> 00:47:46,907
Speaker 16: all that sort of thing in the car in front.

938
00:47:46,987 --> 00:47:49,907
Speaker 16: So he was slow coming down following MaTx Restaff and

939
00:47:49,947 --> 00:47:52,667
Speaker 16: out of the pits, and he was slow, slow, slow.

940
00:47:53,427 --> 00:47:55,187
Speaker 16: On the right hand side, there was a little line

941
00:47:55,187 --> 00:47:58,587
Speaker 16: of cars led by Lando Norris. Liiam Lawson was in

942
00:47:58,747 --> 00:48:00,827
Speaker 16: the and he's not allowed to stop in the pit lane.

943
00:48:00,867 --> 00:48:02,707
Speaker 16: By the way, he was going as slow as he

944
00:48:02,787 --> 00:48:05,907
Speaker 16: possibly could to make the gap. He went past Lando

945
00:48:06,067 --> 00:48:09,347
Speaker 16: Iris and then Lando decided to launch his car in

946
00:48:09,387 --> 00:48:14,987
Speaker 16: the practice staff Immediately. Immediately the commentators who should know

947
00:48:15,147 --> 00:48:19,907
Speaker 16: better said it was Lando Norris. It was Liam Lawson's

948
00:48:19,947 --> 00:48:22,387
Speaker 16: fault for not giving way to Lando Norris. What's he

949
00:48:22,427 --> 00:48:24,147
Speaker 16: supposed to do? Is he's supposed to part in the

950
00:48:24,187 --> 00:48:26,587
Speaker 16: pit land and be fine. Is he supposed to just

951
00:48:26,707 --> 00:48:30,547
Speaker 16: say after you Lando, No, he's not. So everything he's

952
00:48:30,587 --> 00:48:34,827
Speaker 16: doing is being scrutinized in extreme detail, especially on this

953
00:48:34,947 --> 00:48:39,627
Speaker 16: side of the world, and he's been I think I'm

954
00:48:39,667 --> 00:48:41,987
Speaker 16: fairly picked on a lot of the time by all

955
00:48:42,067 --> 00:48:44,587
Speaker 16: sorts of people. He's got to learn. He's going to learn.

956
00:48:45,347 --> 00:48:47,947
Speaker 16: He has the ability to learn. But he's got a

957
00:48:47,987 --> 00:48:50,507
Speaker 16: tough job. As everybody has said, he's got a tough job.

958
00:48:50,707 --> 00:48:52,187
Speaker 16: He's just got to get his head down and do it.

959
00:48:53,147 --> 00:48:55,907
Speaker 2: If we talk about today and then on to tomorrow,

960
00:48:56,147 --> 00:48:59,187
Speaker 2: Bob can can they make the improvements to the car

961
00:48:59,307 --> 00:49:02,187
Speaker 2: today into the way that Liam drives it in time

962
00:49:02,267 --> 00:49:04,387
Speaker 2: for him to qualify in the top half of the

963
00:49:04,427 --> 00:49:05,387
Speaker 2: grid later on tonight.

964
00:49:07,027 --> 00:49:09,747
Speaker 16: Historically Red Bull have been able to do that. Historically,

965
00:49:09,827 --> 00:49:13,147
Speaker 16: over the last couple of three or four seasons, a

966
00:49:13,227 --> 00:49:16,827
Speaker 16: first day of practice on a Friday has not necessarily

967
00:49:16,947 --> 00:49:19,707
Speaker 16: been the best day for them. Yet they have the

968
00:49:19,787 --> 00:49:23,667
Speaker 16: ability or have had the ability to have the whether

969
00:49:23,787 --> 00:49:26,627
Speaker 16: drivers are doing the simulation work, and many times, of

970
00:49:26,707 --> 00:49:28,907
Speaker 16: course in the last couple of three years, that was

971
00:49:28,987 --> 00:49:32,787
Speaker 16: Liam doing that back in the factory. So they have

972
00:49:32,907 --> 00:49:35,747
Speaker 16: the ability to change that car, they have the engineering

973
00:49:35,827 --> 00:49:39,427
Speaker 16: nous to do it, but clearly that car is not

974
00:49:39,667 --> 00:49:41,587
Speaker 16: as good as it was last year. In the testing

975
00:49:41,627 --> 00:49:45,307
Speaker 16: at Bahrain, they had a lot of trouble with the car.

976
00:49:45,547 --> 00:49:47,707
Speaker 16: Max with Staffen was not happy with the car. He

977
00:49:47,827 --> 00:49:50,747
Speaker 16: is still not happy with the car. You can see

978
00:49:51,107 --> 00:49:53,147
Speaker 16: that they're not happy with the car because of all

979
00:49:53,227 --> 00:49:56,147
Speaker 16: the work that was going on in the practice in

980
00:49:56,507 --> 00:49:58,987
Speaker 16: Max with Staffin's garage, with the car up on the

981
00:49:59,067 --> 00:50:03,867
Speaker 16: stands during the one hour of practice. In the second hours,

982
00:50:04,147 --> 00:50:07,547
Speaker 16: that's something that doesn't normally happen usually twigs. It's not

983
00:50:07,667 --> 00:50:12,147
Speaker 16: a wholesale change of suspension which they were doing. Plus

984
00:50:12,227 --> 00:50:15,507
Speaker 16: the fact you don't know just how much fuel and

985
00:50:15,627 --> 00:50:21,427
Speaker 16: stuff everybody's using the v card. That and then Wilson

986
00:50:21,507 --> 00:50:24,427
Speaker 16: got out of last year which is now being driven

987
00:50:24,467 --> 00:50:27,907
Speaker 16: by Isaac Hadja. He was running on very very low fuel.

988
00:50:28,347 --> 00:50:31,947
Speaker 16: They've admitted that, whereas Liam may have had three quarters

989
00:50:32,027 --> 00:50:36,027
Speaker 16: race fuel or something. We don't know that. So really,

990
00:50:36,107 --> 00:50:40,867
Speaker 16: this afternoon or this evening and qualifying, that's the time

991
00:50:40,947 --> 00:50:43,947
Speaker 16: when you really got to look at how things are

992
00:50:44,027 --> 00:50:46,987
Speaker 16: shaping up. I don't think he's going to be that

993
00:50:47,227 --> 00:50:53,147
Speaker 16: much faster than he was today, oh yesterday, sorry, but

994
00:50:53,227 --> 00:50:55,307
Speaker 16: he's just got to get a little bit closer to Max.

995
00:50:55,507 --> 00:50:57,387
Speaker 16: Simple as that, and the.

996
00:50:57,427 --> 00:50:59,747
Speaker 2: Red Bull set up next for Stepan is obviously the

997
00:50:59,867 --> 00:51:02,347
Speaker 2: number one driver in that team, Bob. So how much

998
00:51:02,467 --> 00:51:07,147
Speaker 2: resource will Liam be getting given that he is very

999
00:51:07,227 --> 00:51:09,187
Speaker 2: much number two to Max for Stepan.

1000
00:51:10,787 --> 00:51:11,427
Speaker 9: He will be.

1001
00:51:12,187 --> 00:51:14,707
Speaker 16: He is the number two driver and he is there

1002
00:51:14,787 --> 00:51:18,347
Speaker 16: to support Maxistappen. Therefore, if Maxistapan thinks it's better that

1003
00:51:18,427 --> 00:51:21,227
Speaker 16: they put in the steering wheel behind his head so

1004
00:51:21,307 --> 00:51:24,107
Speaker 16: he can drive backwards, it will be done. If he

1005
00:51:24,227 --> 00:51:26,587
Speaker 16: thinks can drive faster that way, and then it will

1006
00:51:26,627 --> 00:51:30,347
Speaker 16: be done on Liam's car. So regardless, in many ways

1007
00:51:30,627 --> 00:51:36,067
Speaker 16: of Liam having his own team there, they will sacrifice

1008
00:51:36,107 --> 00:51:39,187
Speaker 16: everything to get Max Withstappen to be the fastest or

1009
00:51:39,227 --> 00:51:42,027
Speaker 16: to be better, and the second driver will always have

1010
00:51:42,187 --> 00:51:45,227
Speaker 16: to follow the ethos that Max has put on the car,

1011
00:51:45,867 --> 00:51:49,187
Speaker 16: except for fine tweaks to suit the driver. Now this

1012
00:51:49,347 --> 00:51:52,667
Speaker 16: is something once again that Liam must get his mum

1013
00:51:52,747 --> 00:51:55,667
Speaker 16: in the seat on and assert some authority over his

1014
00:51:55,787 --> 00:51:59,427
Speaker 16: own car, saying I don't like it over steering like this?

1015
00:51:59,587 --> 00:52:01,547
Speaker 16: Can we do just stop it? I don't like it

1016
00:52:01,667 --> 00:52:04,867
Speaker 16: under steering? Can we do something to stop it? The

1017
00:52:05,027 --> 00:52:07,667
Speaker 16: more he can prove that he can tune his car

1018
00:52:08,547 --> 00:52:11,627
Speaker 16: to his way of driving and show that he is

1019
00:52:11,747 --> 00:52:15,067
Speaker 16: faster doing that, the more the garage will turn onto

1020
00:52:15,467 --> 00:52:17,787
Speaker 16: his side as well, and to help him go faster.

1021
00:52:18,227 --> 00:52:20,747
Speaker 16: They don't want him to go slow by any means

1022
00:52:20,787 --> 00:52:23,107
Speaker 16: at all, but they do want Max to go faster,

1023
00:52:23,667 --> 00:52:26,387
Speaker 16: and Liam to a certain extent, will have to follow

1024
00:52:26,947 --> 00:52:31,267
Speaker 16: follow the path drodden by Max, but by the same token,

1025
00:52:31,467 --> 00:52:33,867
Speaker 16: if he can make his own path, they will support that.

1026
00:52:35,107 --> 00:52:37,187
Speaker 2: Such an interesting thing you said as well before, Bob,

1027
00:52:37,227 --> 00:52:40,387
Speaker 2: about yesterday being day one of seventy two, I mean

1028
00:52:40,427 --> 00:52:43,347
Speaker 2: twenty four Grand Prix before we finished the season in

1029
00:52:43,427 --> 00:52:46,987
Speaker 2: early December in Abu Dhabi. How do they balance it though?

1030
00:52:47,027 --> 00:52:49,747
Speaker 2: You know that because all sports fans, and I'm sure

1031
00:52:49,747 --> 00:52:53,427
Speaker 2: all sports teams want one is instant results. Our teams

1032
00:52:53,507 --> 00:52:56,747
Speaker 2: like red ball. You know, are they known for being

1033
00:52:56,907 --> 00:52:59,907
Speaker 2: patient or or if we look back to last year,

1034
00:52:59,907 --> 00:53:01,307
Speaker 2: are they not so much known for that.

1035
00:53:02,227 --> 00:53:04,387
Speaker 16: No, they're not known from being patient at all. And

1036
00:53:05,667 --> 00:53:07,787
Speaker 16: I don't like doing it. But I was reading some

1037
00:53:07,907 --> 00:53:10,867
Speaker 16: social media. There's about eighty percent of the people saying,

1038
00:53:10,907 --> 00:53:12,947
Speaker 16: told you so, get Lawson out of there, et cetera,

1039
00:53:12,987 --> 00:53:16,707
Speaker 16: et cetera. Absolutely, I was going to use the word

1040
00:53:16,787 --> 00:53:21,427
Speaker 16: that rubbish. I'll say I'm some rubbish, that sort of thing.

1041
00:53:21,547 --> 00:53:23,787
Speaker 16: He's they're going to give him half a season minimum,

1042
00:53:24,107 --> 00:53:26,227
Speaker 16: and I do not doubt that in the first two

1043
00:53:26,347 --> 00:53:28,867
Speaker 16: or three races as they come up, that Liam is

1044
00:53:28,907 --> 00:53:31,707
Speaker 16: going to improve his position. I do not doubt they

1045
00:53:31,907 --> 00:53:33,907
Speaker 16: employed him because they know him.

1046
00:53:34,067 --> 00:53:35,547
Speaker 6: He's been there longer.

1047
00:53:35,667 --> 00:53:38,147
Speaker 16: Than almost any other driver apart from Max with Staffan

1048
00:53:38,267 --> 00:53:42,547
Speaker 16: in that system, in that Red Bull system, so they

1049
00:53:42,627 --> 00:53:44,947
Speaker 16: know exactly what he's capable of. They didn't choose him

1050
00:53:45,067 --> 00:53:46,707
Speaker 16: just because he looks good and it looks like a

1051
00:53:46,907 --> 00:53:51,107
Speaker 16: male model or whatever. He is chosen because they know

1052
00:53:51,267 --> 00:53:53,707
Speaker 16: he can do the job ultimately, and he's got to

1053
00:53:53,747 --> 00:53:55,907
Speaker 16: stick with that. Mentally, he's got to stick with the

1054
00:53:55,987 --> 00:53:59,707
Speaker 16: fact that they preferred him over anybody else to be

1055
00:53:59,867 --> 00:54:04,307
Speaker 16: Max with Staffan's partner this year. So stick with it.

1056
00:54:04,467 --> 00:54:08,187
Speaker 16: And you know, he he's simply got to work hard

1057
00:54:08,627 --> 00:54:10,507
Speaker 16: and for the team to work hard to get the

1058
00:54:10,587 --> 00:54:13,587
Speaker 16: cars laster. He just needs to be closer to Max

1059
00:54:14,147 --> 00:54:18,667
Speaker 16: in pretty much all conditions. As Helmet Marcos said, three

1060
00:54:18,787 --> 00:54:21,507
Speaker 16: tenths of a second, they'll allow him and that's that's

1061
00:54:21,547 --> 00:54:26,467
Speaker 16: about it. Okay, yesterday he was obviously five tenths of

1062
00:54:26,507 --> 00:54:29,267
Speaker 16: the second five Milly six tens of a second party.

1063
00:54:29,347 --> 00:54:31,787
Speaker 16: That's not an awful lot, is it. But the problem is,

1064
00:54:32,387 --> 00:54:35,707
Speaker 16: in these days of Formula one, you can go from

1065
00:54:35,787 --> 00:54:40,347
Speaker 16: seventh to seventeenth in just five tenths of a second.

1066
00:54:40,707 --> 00:54:43,467
Speaker 16: Half a second, not a lot. So he's he's just

1067
00:54:43,507 --> 00:54:45,347
Speaker 16: got to get better and better. What he doesn't have

1068
00:54:45,467 --> 00:54:47,627
Speaker 16: to do is what Oliver Behman did yesterday and throw

1069
00:54:47,747 --> 00:54:50,867
Speaker 16: the thing in the wall. That is, although him did

1070
00:54:51,147 --> 00:54:55,187
Speaker 16: kiss the wall in practice, just a light touch, just

1071
00:54:55,267 --> 00:55:00,267
Speaker 16: a note there. So yeah, he's he's on a trajectory

1072
00:55:00,467 --> 00:55:04,307
Speaker 16: and this is this is you know, like base what

1073
00:55:04,427 --> 00:55:07,307
Speaker 16: do they call it, ever, his base one or something

1074
00:55:07,427 --> 00:55:09,987
Speaker 16: like that. That's what he worries out of the moment.

1075
00:55:10,507 --> 00:55:13,467
Speaker 2: That's a great filter to look at it through zooming

1076
00:55:13,467 --> 00:55:18,067
Speaker 2: out of But McLaren, Norris and Pastree, Ferrari, Leclair and

1077
00:55:18,187 --> 00:55:21,987
Speaker 2: Hamilton as McLaren the faster is that the faster car McLaren.

1078
00:55:22,827 --> 00:55:24,907
Speaker 16: It has been proven to be the faster car over

1079
00:55:24,907 --> 00:55:28,227
Speaker 16: a race distance at the moment. Leclaire and the Ferrari

1080
00:55:28,347 --> 00:55:30,827
Speaker 16: have come up with a faster time as of yesterday,

1081
00:55:32,147 --> 00:55:35,427
Speaker 16: and it may well be a faster car on that track.

1082
00:55:36,267 --> 00:55:38,147
Speaker 16: The Ferrari does have a good record on that track,

1083
00:55:38,147 --> 00:55:41,827
Speaker 16: there's no doubt about that. But I think it's it's

1084
00:55:41,867 --> 00:55:43,787
Speaker 16: all going to sort out as we go along. I mean,

1085
00:55:43,907 --> 00:55:48,587
Speaker 16: yesterday was a little bit screwed up. I think in times,

1086
00:55:48,627 --> 00:55:50,587
Speaker 16: I don't think you're going to see the Times yesterday

1087
00:55:50,867 --> 00:55:55,467
Speaker 16: or the order of the Times yesterday translated into qualifying today. Certainly. Look,

1088
00:55:55,667 --> 00:55:58,067
Speaker 16: it's going to be at the top Norris's p Stree

1089
00:55:58,227 --> 00:56:03,387
Speaker 16: most likely, and you could have got to say probably

1090
00:56:03,427 --> 00:56:05,787
Speaker 16: Hamilton's going to be there as well. But the rest

1091
00:56:05,827 --> 00:56:08,787
Speaker 16: of it is all mixed up. Different fuels, different car engines,

1092
00:56:08,827 --> 00:56:14,067
Speaker 16: different powers set ups, different power availability. All things will

1093
00:56:14,107 --> 00:56:17,787
Speaker 16: be will be proven basically in the first qualifying of

1094
00:56:17,867 --> 00:56:21,587
Speaker 16: the year. Essentially we're still in the testing phase from

1095
00:56:21,987 --> 00:56:24,987
Speaker 16: the bahrain test where each driver got about a day

1096
00:56:25,107 --> 00:56:27,507
Speaker 16: day and a half, including Liam in the car. And

1097
00:56:27,587 --> 00:56:32,387
Speaker 16: Liam's day was disrupted enormously by rain, so he hasn't

1098
00:56:32,427 --> 00:56:34,747
Speaker 16: had time in the car. Not many of these drivers have.

1099
00:56:35,667 --> 00:56:39,707
Speaker 16: And the really is the old saying the rubber hits

1100
00:56:39,787 --> 00:56:42,507
Speaker 16: the road this afternoon in qualifying too.

1101
00:56:43,827 --> 00:56:45,827
Speaker 2: Bob, thanks so much for your time. I always learned

1102
00:56:45,867 --> 00:56:49,107
Speaker 2: plenty listening to you. Thanks for taking our call and

1103
00:56:49,547 --> 00:56:51,267
Speaker 2: enjoy the rest of the weekend, we'll catch up again.

1104
00:56:51,347 --> 00:56:54,747
Speaker 16: So thank you, Bony, my pleasure, all the best mate.

1105
00:56:54,747 --> 00:56:57,787
Speaker 2: Bob mc murray, there, gee, he talks good scenes, doesn't he.

1106
00:56:58,307 --> 00:57:01,027
Speaker 2: Like I said, I just always learned so much about

1107
00:57:01,627 --> 00:57:03,867
Speaker 2: about motor sport and about the intricacies of it from

1108
00:57:03,907 --> 00:57:08,427
Speaker 2: listening to Bob McMurray. Look, I know I'm not anywhere

1109
00:57:08,547 --> 00:57:12,067
Speaker 2: close to being a big motorsport fan, but I think,

1110
00:57:12,227 --> 00:57:14,787
Speaker 2: like a lot of people in my position, where motorsport

1111
00:57:14,867 --> 00:57:17,587
Speaker 2: is one of the sports that sits on the outside

1112
00:57:17,627 --> 00:57:20,787
Speaker 2: of our real sweet spot, you can't help but be

1113
00:57:20,867 --> 00:57:24,907
Speaker 2: swept up in this about what's happening a Kiwi with

1114
00:57:25,027 --> 00:57:27,387
Speaker 2: a full time F one drive Oh eight hundred and

1115
00:57:27,387 --> 00:57:28,987
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty if you want to talk to F one,

1116
00:57:29,467 --> 00:57:31,787
Speaker 2: he's in a red Bull car alongside the full time

1117
00:57:31,947 --> 00:57:34,747
Speaker 2: defending world champion Max for Staff And even that sentence

1118
00:57:35,427 --> 00:57:38,627
Speaker 2: seems crazy, But here we are, and he's long being

1119
00:57:38,707 --> 00:57:42,667
Speaker 2: talked about Liam Lawson as a tremendous prospect. Greg Murphy,

1120
00:57:42,667 --> 00:57:45,747
Speaker 2: who we're going to chat too soon, was talking about

1121
00:57:45,827 --> 00:57:48,627
Speaker 2: Liam Lawson being a driver to watch four or five

1122
00:57:48,707 --> 00:57:52,067
Speaker 2: years ago, but for him actually to get to where

1123
00:57:52,107 --> 00:57:56,067
Speaker 2: he is one of only twenty men in a full

1124
00:57:56,147 --> 00:58:00,307
Speaker 2: time Formula one seat. Incredible and it is hard to

1125
00:58:00,387 --> 00:58:02,587
Speaker 2: tell from the outside looking in, but it feels as

1126
00:58:02,667 --> 00:58:05,267
Speaker 2: though he is taking it all in his stride. He

1127
00:58:05,347 --> 00:58:08,507
Speaker 2: looks calm in the media situations i've seen him in

1128
00:58:08,547 --> 00:58:10,707
Speaker 2: this week. There was a bit of a furrough brow

1129
00:58:10,827 --> 00:58:15,747
Speaker 2: after practice yesterday, but he doesn't look like he's being

1130
00:58:15,787 --> 00:58:19,987
Speaker 2: swept up in it, and he is ready to fulfill

1131
00:58:20,027 --> 00:58:21,627
Speaker 2: a dream he's had for a very long time. This

1132
00:58:21,787 --> 00:58:25,547
Speaker 2: is where he has always wanted to be. It's where

1133
00:58:25,587 --> 00:58:28,227
Speaker 2: he seems destined to have been. Had a crack last

1134
00:58:28,267 --> 00:58:30,787
Speaker 2: year of course injury cover and while all the musical

1135
00:58:30,907 --> 00:58:33,387
Speaker 2: chairs were going on at red Ball and everybody wondered

1136
00:58:33,587 --> 00:58:35,387
Speaker 2: who would have a seat when the music stopped, it

1137
00:58:35,427 --> 00:58:37,707
Speaker 2: always felt as though he was in the mix. And

1138
00:58:37,787 --> 00:58:40,387
Speaker 2: so it's proven and so this weekend Liam Lawson gets

1139
00:58:40,387 --> 00:58:42,987
Speaker 2: into that full time seat for the first time. And

1140
00:58:43,107 --> 00:58:45,347
Speaker 2: there are lots of metrics being thrown around as to

1141
00:58:45,467 --> 00:58:49,147
Speaker 2: what success looks like this weekend. Just finishing as one,

1142
00:58:50,507 --> 00:58:53,267
Speaker 2: finishing in the top ten, getting within three tenths of

1143
00:58:53,307 --> 00:58:55,267
Speaker 2: a second of max forstap and that's one I've heard

1144
00:58:55,627 --> 00:58:58,947
Speaker 2: a lot. If he can do that, then they'll say

1145
00:58:59,027 --> 00:59:03,507
Speaker 2: that's successful. But just being there, just being there seems

1146
00:59:03,547 --> 00:59:06,467
Speaker 2: like it's success to me because very very few who

1147
00:59:07,827 --> 00:59:09,787
Speaker 2: from these parts have done it. And this is just

1148
00:59:09,867 --> 00:59:12,187
Speaker 2: the start. This isn't a one off. As Bob said,

1149
00:59:12,467 --> 00:59:16,707
Speaker 2: yesterday was day one of seventy two days in twenty

1150
00:59:16,747 --> 00:59:20,147
Speaker 2: twenty five. They're are twenty four Grand Prix before we

1151
00:59:20,267 --> 00:59:24,507
Speaker 2: even get to an assessment of what his first year

1152
00:59:25,067 --> 00:59:28,107
Speaker 2: looks like. This is the beginning of what could be

1153
00:59:28,187 --> 00:59:32,507
Speaker 2: a very special sporting career for the shang Kiwi All

1154
00:59:32,587 --> 00:59:36,747
Speaker 2: Eyes on Melbourne. This weekend. Five o'clock tomorrow was race start,

1155
00:59:37,587 --> 00:59:40,787
Speaker 2: practice and qualifying today race tomorrow. Twenty drivers starting their

1156
00:59:40,827 --> 00:59:44,947
Speaker 2: engines and one of them is one of ours. One

00:59:45,067 --> 00:59:46,827
Speaker 2: twenty four. If you want to talk to Motorsport eight

1158
00:59:46,947 --> 00:59:48,707
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty nine, two nine to two

1159

1166
01:00:07,067 --> 01:00:11,227
Speaker 17: Mate, Hi there, Yeah, a good interview there with Bob,

1167
01:00:11,307 --> 01:00:14,107
Speaker 17: thank you very much. And he was heading on something

1168
01:00:14,147 --> 01:00:18,347
Speaker 17: that I've been thinking about, which is why do they

1169
01:00:18,547 --> 01:00:20,427
Speaker 17: force s Lim to be in a car that's pretty

1170
01:00:20,467 --> 01:00:23,667
Speaker 17: much speck to Max? And it just to me just

1171
01:00:24,267 --> 01:00:27,387
Speaker 17: and even Bob was sort of talking about how obviously

1172
01:00:28,347 --> 01:00:30,827
Speaker 17: Liam at some point is going to have the potential

1173
01:00:30,907 --> 01:00:33,347
Speaker 17: to say, hey, hang on a minute now, just it's

1174
01:00:33,427 --> 01:00:36,667
Speaker 17: just biggest beliefs with a sport with so much technology

1175
01:00:37,267 --> 01:00:40,947
Speaker 17: that they don't know Liam already and what that car

1176
01:00:41,027 --> 01:00:43,827
Speaker 17: should be doing to suit him, and it just yeah,

1177
01:00:43,827 --> 01:00:47,107
Speaker 17: I just couldn't quite say, well, well, there's so much money.

1178
01:00:46,867 --> 01:00:47,587
Speaker 10: Involved they do that.

1179
01:00:48,107 --> 01:00:51,707
Speaker 2: No, I'm a bit the same, Trevor. I sort of think, okay, well, yes, yes,

1180
01:00:51,827 --> 01:00:54,627
Speaker 2: we totally get the pecking order. Max Fstappens the number one.

1181
01:00:54,707 --> 01:00:57,547
Speaker 2: But you're right, with so much money and behind these teams,

1182
01:00:58,067 --> 01:00:59,787
Speaker 2: you think, okay, there'll be there be a team that

1183
01:00:59,947 --> 01:01:03,747
Speaker 2: was just specifically you know, targeted at Liam, as you say,

1184
01:01:03,787 --> 01:01:05,547
Speaker 2: if he wants the seat a little bit different, or

1185
01:01:05,867 --> 01:01:08,987
Speaker 2: he wants certain things, you know, without getting too technical,

1186
01:01:09,267 --> 01:01:12,227
Speaker 2: that suit is driving better than there should be. You'd

1187
01:01:12,227 --> 01:01:14,787
Speaker 2: think a team that would help him do that. I

1188
01:01:14,867 --> 01:01:16,947
Speaker 2: guess they do mout and they say, look, we are

1189
01:01:16,987 --> 01:01:19,627
Speaker 2: a team. Max is our number one and Liam for

1190
01:01:19,707 --> 01:01:22,147
Speaker 2: the meantime just has to bide his time, and I

1191
01:01:22,187 --> 01:01:24,107
Speaker 2: guess just you know, do what he has to do

1192
01:01:24,187 --> 01:01:24,867
Speaker 2: for the meantime.

1193
01:01:26,267 --> 01:01:29,547
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, I'm a bit of a rookie with the

1194
01:01:29,747 --> 01:01:34,827
Speaker 17: tult Liam. Certainly he's captured my imagination and interesting, it's

1195
01:01:34,827 --> 01:01:36,307
Speaker 17: going to be really coperwatch looking forward.

1196
01:01:36,387 --> 01:01:38,467
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we can all earn these things together, trev I'm

1197
01:01:38,467 --> 01:01:40,507
Speaker 2: the same as you. I'm a rookie when it comes

1198
01:01:40,547 --> 01:01:46,107
Speaker 2: to this as well. There's an answer here, Trevor, which

1199
01:01:46,107 --> 01:01:49,427
Speaker 2: says the genuine answer is or that or an answer

1200
01:01:49,467 --> 01:01:51,547
Speaker 2: to that question. Liam's in that car because Red Bull

1201
01:01:51,627 --> 01:01:54,307
Speaker 2: believe he is the most similar driver to Max for

1202
01:01:54,347 --> 01:01:59,187
Speaker 2: Staffan besides the man himself. So presumably he was chosen

1203
01:01:59,267 --> 01:02:03,667
Speaker 2: for that reason. And look, I'm you know, they're very different,

1204
01:02:03,707 --> 01:02:08,467
Speaker 2: you know, they're both unique human beings. But if a

1205
01:02:08,547 --> 01:02:10,467
Speaker 2: car is set up in a certain way, and I'm

1206
01:02:10,547 --> 01:02:14,267
Speaker 2: just spitballing here, I presume that that if Max for

1207
01:02:14,347 --> 01:02:17,547
Speaker 2: Stappin can drive that car fast, then Liam Lawson would

1208
01:02:17,547 --> 01:02:19,947
Speaker 2: just copy what Max does to drive the car fast.

1209
01:02:21,427 --> 01:02:23,187
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that,

1210
01:02:24,267 --> 01:02:27,107
Speaker 2: but yeah, the pecking order things interesting too. You know

1211
01:02:27,227 --> 01:02:29,667
Speaker 2: Liam is number two at the moment, but you know,

1212
01:02:29,787 --> 01:02:31,427
Speaker 2: being number two to Max for Stappin ain't a bad

1213
01:02:31,467 --> 01:02:34,627
Speaker 2: place to be. Thanks for your call, Trivor appreciate it. Oh,

1214
01:02:34,707 --> 01:02:36,867
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. The action is on

1215
01:02:36,987 --> 01:02:41,187
Speaker 2: sky Sport one and Freedom wear on Sky Open from

1216
01:02:41,387 --> 01:02:45,107
Speaker 2: just before five o'clock tomorrow. One of our motorsport greats,

1217
01:02:45,387 --> 01:02:48,307
Speaker 2: Greg Murphy is with us. Greg I said before when

1218
01:02:48,307 --> 01:02:50,827
Speaker 2: I was talking to Bob McMurray, I remember hearing you

1219
01:02:51,067 --> 01:02:54,827
Speaker 2: say last year that Liam rising to the heights he

1220
01:02:55,027 --> 01:02:58,067
Speaker 2: has wasn't a surprise to you. You always thought he

1221
01:02:58,187 --> 01:03:01,107
Speaker 2: was capable of this. In fact, you were on recorders

1222
01:03:01,187 --> 01:03:04,747
Speaker 2: saying he could reach Formula one four or five years ago.

1223
01:03:04,787 --> 01:03:06,627
Speaker 2: I remember you saying it. What were the quality tease

1224
01:03:06,707 --> 01:03:10,667
Speaker 2: you observed in Liam all the way back then that

1225
01:03:10,907 --> 01:03:12,707
Speaker 2: formed that view that made you think he could get

1226
01:03:12,747 --> 01:03:13,467
Speaker 2: to where he's got to.

1227
01:03:14,867 --> 01:03:18,187
Speaker 18: It's just his ability to to do things in a

1228
01:03:18,307 --> 01:03:23,267
Speaker 18: race car that that were, you know, much a lot

1229
01:03:23,387 --> 01:03:26,467
Speaker 18: higher above average than most people. You know, he every

1230
01:03:26,547 --> 01:03:28,707
Speaker 18: time he drove a car, no matter what it was,

1231
01:03:28,867 --> 01:03:33,187
Speaker 18: he would excel and you know, maximize those opportunities. And

1232
01:03:33,707 --> 01:03:36,827
Speaker 18: and that's that's you know, something that not everyone has

1233
01:03:36,907 --> 01:03:39,187
Speaker 18: the ability to do. So he used to stand out.

1234
01:03:39,227 --> 01:03:41,947
Speaker 18: He used to make, you know, make statements every time

1235
01:03:42,027 --> 01:03:45,347
Speaker 18: he drove a car, and you know, and no matter

1236
01:03:45,427 --> 01:03:48,427
Speaker 18: what it was. I mean, he's got this inate ability

1237
01:03:48,507 --> 01:03:53,267
Speaker 18: to win on debut and new formulas. And again that's

1238
01:03:53,347 --> 01:03:57,347
Speaker 18: just something that highlights the X factor that the young

1239
01:03:57,427 --> 01:04:00,987
Speaker 18: man has. So you know, based on the last two seasons,

1240
01:04:01,467 --> 01:04:04,587
Speaker 18: you know, filling in for Daniel Ricardo or replacing him

1241
01:04:04,667 --> 01:04:06,307
Speaker 18: last year and filling in for him the year before

1242
01:04:06,507 --> 01:04:09,107
Speaker 18: twenty twenty three proved he was ready for Formula one

1243
01:04:09,147 --> 01:04:11,427
Speaker 18: and twenty twenty three and it's taken un till now

1244
01:04:11,507 --> 01:04:14,067
Speaker 18: for him to get that full time seat. So you know,

1245
01:04:14,147 --> 01:04:18,027
Speaker 18: he's one of these standout young men, young drivers that

1246
01:04:18,867 --> 01:04:21,907
Speaker 18: have that little bit special extra that sit them apart

1247
01:04:21,907 --> 01:04:23,067
Speaker 18: from the risk before we.

1248
01:04:23,067 --> 01:04:25,467
Speaker 2: Look ahead to the weekend, in fact to the year ahead,

1249
01:04:25,667 --> 01:04:28,827
Speaker 2: can you put into context for us the significance of

1250
01:04:28,947 --> 01:04:31,467
Speaker 2: having a Kiwi in a full time if one seat.

1251
01:04:32,467 --> 01:04:33,227
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's difficult.

1252
01:04:33,267 --> 01:04:36,747
Speaker 18: I mean, I just don't think it's recognized enough by

1253
01:04:36,867 --> 01:04:40,107
Speaker 18: those that don't foow noticeable on what kind of achievement

1254
01:04:40,147 --> 01:04:42,067
Speaker 18: this is. And I've been harping on about this for

1255
01:04:42,147 --> 01:04:45,027
Speaker 18: a long time, the achievements of Kimi drivers on the

1256
01:04:45,067 --> 01:04:48,027
Speaker 18: international stage at the highest highest level. And I suppose,

1257
01:04:48,067 --> 01:04:51,307
Speaker 18: you know, if one is the pinnacle form of the sport,

1258
01:04:51,747 --> 01:04:55,707
Speaker 18: absolute pinnacourts, whatever you know, overy young aspiring driver dreams

1259
01:04:55,787 --> 01:04:58,907
Speaker 18: to be. And if one driver this is a world championship,

1260
01:04:58,987 --> 01:05:01,867
Speaker 18: twenty four races around the world. If one World Championship

1261
01:05:01,867 --> 01:05:04,067
Speaker 18: has been going for decades and decades and decades, and

1262
01:05:04,107 --> 01:05:07,107
Speaker 18: we've had people like you know, Denny Holme and Chris

1263
01:05:07,187 --> 01:05:10,347
Speaker 18: Aymon and Bruce McLaren and more. Brendan Hartley the latest

1264
01:05:10,387 --> 01:05:12,587
Speaker 18: to have actually you know, been in a full time

1265
01:05:12,667 --> 01:05:16,107
Speaker 18: seat and in Formula One. You know, we've had had

1266
01:05:16,627 --> 01:05:19,267
Speaker 18: drivers do it in the past, but this is you know,

1267
01:05:19,347 --> 01:05:22,427
Speaker 18: a new era, a very different era, and a very difficult,

1268
01:05:22,667 --> 01:05:25,987
Speaker 18: challenging era. The money that is that is spent to

1269
01:05:26,067 --> 01:05:29,627
Speaker 18: get into Formula One, the competition that us as a

1270
01:05:29,787 --> 01:05:32,187
Speaker 18: tiny little nation are up against to get someone in there,

1271
01:05:32,587 --> 01:05:37,267
Speaker 18: you know, against against these European countries with just just endless,

1272
01:05:37,427 --> 01:05:40,187
Speaker 18: endless amounts of money to actually be able to put

1273
01:05:40,547 --> 01:05:43,867
Speaker 18: you know, behind people to to get to the top eschelon.

1274
01:05:44,467 --> 01:05:47,027
Speaker 18: And so you know, Liam's had some mating support to

1275
01:05:47,067 --> 01:05:50,547
Speaker 18: get there, but he has delivered and repaid all that

1276
01:05:50,667 --> 01:05:54,547
Speaker 18: support and you know, massively, and now he's now he's

1277
01:05:54,587 --> 01:05:56,827
Speaker 18: there at the top. So you know, we need to

1278
01:05:57,267 --> 01:06:02,027
Speaker 18: really recognize the significance of this the sporting achievement, even

1279
01:06:02,027 --> 01:06:03,347
Speaker 18: if you're a Formula one fan or not.

1280
01:06:03,627 --> 01:06:05,627
Speaker 2: Yeah, very well put, very well put. All right, So

1281
01:06:05,707 --> 01:06:08,787
Speaker 2: what would a six peaseful opening we can first of

1282
01:06:08,827 --> 01:06:09,867
Speaker 2: all look like for Liam?

1283
01:06:11,067 --> 01:06:17,147
Speaker 18: Oh, that's not actually an easy question to answer. I mean, finishing,

1284
01:06:17,467 --> 01:06:20,427
Speaker 18: it's going to be a good one. And I would

1285
01:06:20,467 --> 01:06:23,267
Speaker 18: say wherever Max for Stefan is being being right on

1286
01:06:23,307 --> 01:06:25,427
Speaker 18: the heels of Max for Stepfan, and I think that's

1287
01:06:25,467 --> 01:06:27,827
Speaker 18: all that. I don't think he wants anything less than that.

1288
01:06:28,107 --> 01:06:31,867
Speaker 18: You know, it's it's it's about basically, he's in this role.

1289
01:06:31,987 --> 01:06:35,707
Speaker 18: His job is to win, right and regardless of where

1290
01:06:35,747 --> 01:06:37,747
Speaker 18: Red Bull see that, which is you know, they will

1291
01:06:37,787 --> 01:06:41,227
Speaker 18: be seeing him supporting Max probably, but they will also

1292
01:06:41,267 --> 01:06:43,387
Speaker 18: be giving him everything he possibly can to perform it

1293
01:06:43,467 --> 01:06:47,907
Speaker 18: his best. So for Liam, success would be winning, uh,

1294
01:06:48,507 --> 01:06:50,067
Speaker 18: you know at the end of the day. But you know,

1295
01:06:50,107 --> 01:06:51,587
Speaker 18: at the end of the weekend when we look back

1296
01:06:51,627 --> 01:06:54,947
Speaker 18: on it and we will talk about it, you know,

1297
01:06:55,067 --> 01:06:59,707
Speaker 18: next week in detail, you know, then we'll decide if

1298
01:06:59,747 --> 01:07:01,467
Speaker 18: it's you know, what he what he has done, is

1299
01:07:01,787 --> 01:07:04,987
Speaker 18: successful or not. But it's it's such a challenging game.

1300
01:07:05,027 --> 01:07:07,347
Speaker 18: I mean, Red Bull are talking down their car a

1301
01:07:07,387 --> 01:07:10,747
Speaker 18: little bit at the moment. I was watching the TV

1302
01:07:11,187 --> 01:07:15,147
Speaker 18: last night, the preview that Sky Sports were doing, and

1303
01:07:15,787 --> 01:07:17,587
Speaker 18: you know, they're talking down the Red Bull a little bit.

1304
01:07:17,587 --> 01:07:21,347
Speaker 18: They're talking about McLaren being the fastest car out there.

1305
01:07:21,707 --> 01:07:24,547
Speaker 18: You know, Redbul's going to be there or thereabouts, but

1306
01:07:24,787 --> 01:07:29,427
Speaker 18: where exactly, we won't know until Saturday qualifying on where

1307
01:07:29,467 --> 01:07:31,987
Speaker 18: they all stack up. But you know his goal will

1308
01:07:32,027 --> 01:07:34,667
Speaker 18: be to be right up the front. He wants to

1309
01:07:34,747 --> 01:07:36,827
Speaker 18: be right there with Max, if not ahead of him.

1310
01:07:37,827 --> 01:07:40,147
Speaker 18: So it's a little bit challenging at the moment to

1311
01:07:40,187 --> 01:07:41,907
Speaker 18: give that answer. But you know, finishing is going to

1312
01:07:41,947 --> 01:07:44,387
Speaker 18: be good. A podium would be It's incredible and I

1313
01:07:44,427 --> 01:07:46,387
Speaker 18: think it's achievable, I really do, so.

1314
01:07:46,427 --> 01:07:48,347
Speaker 2: I've seen it reported Greg and I'm sure you've seen

1315
01:07:48,427 --> 01:07:50,947
Speaker 2: these reports as well. Red Bull want Liam to stay

1316
01:07:51,107 --> 01:07:53,747
Speaker 2: within three tenths of a second of max for staffing.

1317
01:07:53,827 --> 01:07:56,907
Speaker 2: But from what you're saying there, you think that's uterly achievable.

1318
01:07:57,067 --> 01:07:57,907
Speaker 2: Is that realistic?

1319
01:07:58,507 --> 01:08:01,707
Speaker 18: Absolutely? Absolutely, I think that's very achievable. That's the quality

1320
01:08:01,907 --> 01:08:04,307
Speaker 18: of this young man and his work, you section, and

1321
01:08:04,907 --> 01:08:07,147
Speaker 18: that's why they've given him the shot. So you know,

1322
01:08:07,347 --> 01:08:09,747
Speaker 18: they're saying that so that that to them would be success.

1323
01:08:09,987 --> 01:08:16,987
Speaker 18: I probably if Liham, you know, wanted to obviously, you know,

1324
01:08:17,187 --> 01:08:20,427
Speaker 18: try and look at it from a broader think rather

1325
01:08:20,547 --> 01:08:23,387
Speaker 18: than just his absolute did said passion and desire for

1326
01:08:23,467 --> 01:08:26,227
Speaker 18: what he wants to achieve, that would probably be a

1327
01:08:26,307 --> 01:08:29,627
Speaker 18: successful weekend. But I just think he's capable of being

1328
01:08:30,107 --> 01:08:34,667
Speaker 18: being closer than man and you know, yeah, at the

1329
01:08:34,747 --> 01:08:38,947
Speaker 18: end of the day, the competition is is bigger, faster,

1330
01:08:39,347 --> 01:08:41,707
Speaker 18: stronger than then. We've hadn't it in quite a while,

1331
01:08:41,867 --> 01:08:43,867
Speaker 18: So you know, he's picked a very tough time to

1332
01:08:43,947 --> 01:08:46,387
Speaker 18: come into it, but that that's what he's all about.

1333
01:08:46,467 --> 01:08:48,507
Speaker 18: He wants challenges. He doesn't want it easy. He wants

1334
01:08:48,547 --> 01:08:50,107
Speaker 18: to want to fight for it and prove that he's

1335
01:08:50,147 --> 01:08:51,067
Speaker 18: better than everybody else.

1336
01:08:51,547 --> 01:08:56,027
Speaker 2: How much will team orders affect the way that Liam drives,

1337
01:08:56,427 --> 01:08:58,427
Speaker 2: is able to drive, how much doll he have to

1338
01:08:58,507 --> 01:09:01,947
Speaker 2: follow rebel instructions and realize he's number two to the

1339
01:09:02,027 --> 01:09:02,467
Speaker 2: step him.

1340
01:09:03,147 --> 01:09:03,907
Speaker 10: Well, that will come.

1341
01:09:04,107 --> 01:09:06,787
Speaker 18: I don't think that's on the table anyway the moment.

1342
01:09:07,587 --> 01:09:10,187
Speaker 18: You know, there's it's very early as twenty four races

1343
01:09:10,267 --> 01:09:14,587
Speaker 18: this year, and they'll they'll they'll likely hope the hope

1344
01:09:14,627 --> 01:09:17,027
Speaker 18: that comes a time because if if that's if that's

1345
01:09:17,067 --> 01:09:19,987
Speaker 18: coming into effect, well that means that he's doing his

1346
01:09:20,147 --> 01:09:24,427
Speaker 18: job so and doing it very very well. So right

1347
01:09:24,507 --> 01:09:27,107
Speaker 18: now at the moment, I mean, if if Liam qualified

1348
01:09:27,187 --> 01:09:31,067
Speaker 18: third tomorrow and Max qualified ten, there's not going to

1349
01:09:31,067 --> 01:09:33,507
Speaker 18: be any team orders in play. You know that will

1350
01:09:33,547 --> 01:09:35,067
Speaker 18: come much much later in the season.

1351
01:09:35,787 --> 01:09:38,507
Speaker 2: How do you assess Lam's ability to adjust to what

1352
01:09:38,667 --> 01:09:42,627
Speaker 2: will be a hugely increased spotlight because he's now part

1353
01:09:42,667 --> 01:09:46,507
Speaker 2: of what is a massive, massive Formula one road show.

1354
01:09:47,107 --> 01:09:49,027
Speaker 18: He's been dealing with it now for a couple of seasons.

1355
01:09:49,067 --> 01:09:51,707
Speaker 18: I mean, Netflix has been hounding him, he's been he's

1356
01:09:51,747 --> 01:09:53,587
Speaker 18: been real right and the thick of it with the

1357
01:09:53,627 --> 01:09:57,267
Speaker 18: whole Danie Riccardo situation. So the spotlight has been on him.

1358
01:09:57,307 --> 01:09:59,667
Speaker 18: You know, he is now a star. He's a superstar,

1359
01:09:59,747 --> 01:10:02,147
Speaker 18: and he really what he really was starting to grow

1360
01:10:02,227 --> 01:10:04,387
Speaker 18: into that that space, you know a couple of years ago,

1361
01:10:05,627 --> 01:10:07,627
Speaker 18: you know, with with the talk and the chat around

1362
01:10:07,707 --> 01:10:09,907
Speaker 18: what he was, you know, what he was touted for,

1363
01:10:10,107 --> 01:10:14,507
Speaker 18: and and the conversations around and replacing Chico last year,

1364
01:10:14,627 --> 01:10:17,107
Speaker 18: Assujio Perez last year, you know, and then and then

1365
01:10:17,147 --> 01:10:20,667
Speaker 18: he was thrust into it with a quite badly handled

1366
01:10:20,707 --> 01:10:23,627
Speaker 18: situation with Red Bull last year when the chat around

1367
01:10:23,947 --> 01:10:25,987
Speaker 18: Daniel Riccardo started to come that he was going to

1368
01:10:25,987 --> 01:10:29,227
Speaker 18: get replaced, and then when it did happen, was announced

1369
01:10:29,267 --> 01:10:31,587
Speaker 18: at Singapore, it was it was handled very very badly,

1370
01:10:31,667 --> 01:10:34,107
Speaker 18: and he was you know, he was attacked a little

1371
01:10:34,147 --> 01:10:37,267
Speaker 18: bit from what I gather by all the keyboard warriors,

1372
01:10:37,307 --> 01:10:38,827
Speaker 18: and so you've got to handle all that stuff and

1373
01:10:38,907 --> 01:10:40,587
Speaker 18: manage it. And I think he does that, you know,

1374
01:10:41,067 --> 01:10:44,627
Speaker 18: very very well. And that's that's part of why he

1375
01:10:44,787 --> 01:10:46,947
Speaker 18: is what he is and why he is so successful

1376
01:10:47,427 --> 01:10:49,907
Speaker 18: so far, and because he manages the mental side of

1377
01:10:49,947 --> 01:10:53,787
Speaker 18: it and is able to compartmentalize those those things and

1378
01:10:53,867 --> 01:10:55,507
Speaker 18: put them to one side. And you've got to have

1379
01:10:55,587 --> 01:10:57,347
Speaker 18: that mental strength in this game. If you don't have

1380
01:10:57,387 --> 01:11:00,307
Speaker 18: the mental strength. You are going to struggle just to finish.

1381
01:11:01,107 --> 01:11:03,507
Speaker 2: Can you somehow put us in that driver's seat on

1382
01:11:03,587 --> 01:11:06,627
Speaker 2: the starting grid on Sunday as as he gets ready

1383
01:11:06,667 --> 01:11:08,627
Speaker 2: to go. I know he's done it before, Greg, but

1384
01:11:08,787 --> 01:11:11,547
Speaker 2: this is different. Isn't it a full time drive race

1385
01:11:11,587 --> 01:11:14,667
Speaker 2: one of twenty twenty five? Do you think you'll be nervous? Excited?

1386
01:11:14,707 --> 01:11:16,707
Speaker 2: What will the emotions, the overriding ones be?

1387
01:11:17,427 --> 01:11:18,467
Speaker 12: Probably all of those things.

1388
01:11:18,507 --> 01:11:19,947
Speaker 9: I would say, I mean, I can't.

1389
01:11:20,187 --> 01:11:22,067
Speaker 18: I can't put you in that seat because I mean,

1390
01:11:23,027 --> 01:11:25,707
Speaker 18: the level that I've competed at in the past, it

1391
01:11:25,827 --> 01:11:26,907
Speaker 18: doesn't come close. Really.

1392
01:11:26,987 --> 01:11:28,227
Speaker 9: I don't think it's.

1393
01:11:27,947 --> 01:11:31,827
Speaker 18: All relative, of course, but this is the highest social

1394
01:11:31,907 --> 01:11:35,347
Speaker 18: on the pinnacle of motorsport. The eyes that will be

1395
01:11:35,427 --> 01:11:39,907
Speaker 18: watching will be enormous. The judgments from those that deserve

1396
01:11:39,987 --> 01:11:43,467
Speaker 18: to have that option to judge, and certainly most of

1397
01:11:43,507 --> 01:11:46,387
Speaker 18: the people that don't. You know, it's putting all that

1398
01:11:46,467 --> 01:11:49,587
Speaker 18: aside and actually and actually celebrating, you know, this as

1399
01:11:49,667 --> 01:11:52,467
Speaker 18: well for him, so hopefully he can enjoy it and

1400
01:11:52,587 --> 01:11:55,867
Speaker 18: actually take the moment in and use that as well

1401
01:11:55,947 --> 01:11:59,947
Speaker 18: as a bit of a force. But yeah, listen, everyone's

1402
01:11:59,947 --> 01:12:02,147
Speaker 18: got to be a little anxious, you know, but it's

1403
01:12:02,147 --> 01:12:05,107
Speaker 18: also about the opportunity, the excitement of of what it

1404
01:12:05,227 --> 01:12:08,427
Speaker 18: all means. So you know he's ready for He's absolute,

1405
01:12:08,427 --> 01:12:11,027
Speaker 18: one hundred percent ready for. The performances that we've seen

1406
01:12:11,107 --> 01:12:15,027
Speaker 18: him in the B car over the last two seasons

1407
01:12:15,067 --> 01:12:18,587
Speaker 18: are just phenomenal. And he doesn't care about who he's

1408
01:12:18,667 --> 01:12:21,347
Speaker 18: racing against. He doesn't care about Lewis Hamilton, Maxis step

1409
01:12:21,467 --> 01:12:23,027
Speaker 18: and all those guys and what they've done and their

1410
01:12:23,067 --> 01:12:23,747
Speaker 18: achievements and.

1411
01:12:24,107 --> 01:12:24,627
Speaker 6: Who they are.

1412
01:12:25,027 --> 01:12:26,667
Speaker 18: They just race car drivers to him.

1413
01:12:26,867 --> 01:12:27,667
Speaker 12: Next the way you've got to.

1414
01:12:27,627 --> 01:12:27,987
Speaker 7: Look at it.

1415
01:12:28,307 --> 01:12:30,347
Speaker 2: What an exciting weekend ahead of us. Thanks so much

1416
01:12:30,387 --> 01:12:32,387
Speaker 2: for joining us, Greg and the lead up. We look

1417
01:12:32,427 --> 01:12:34,267
Speaker 2: forward to seeing how it plays out in Melbourne and

1418
01:12:34,267 --> 01:12:37,227
Speaker 2: across twenty twenty five as well. Thanks for your time, mate, brilliant,

1419
01:12:37,227 --> 01:12:39,947
Speaker 2: Thanks mate, Now, thank you Greg. Greg Murphy. There part

1420
01:12:39,987 --> 01:12:43,387
Speaker 2: of Sky's coverage of the Australian Formula One Grand Prix

1421
01:12:43,387 --> 01:12:45,627
Speaker 2: and in fact the entire Formula One season. We had

1422
01:12:45,627 --> 01:12:48,267
Speaker 2: Trevor on before asking the question about the cars and

1423
01:12:48,387 --> 01:12:51,227
Speaker 2: why they're not specifically designed for drivers. How good mate.

1424
01:12:51,267 --> 01:12:54,027
Speaker 2: Bob McMurray was listening in and he's given us the answer, Trevor.

1425
01:12:54,107 --> 01:12:57,627
Speaker 2: To answer the question, the basic design philosophy of the

1426
01:12:57,707 --> 01:13:01,427
Speaker 2: car is the same for each car, but individual drivers

1427
01:13:01,507 --> 01:13:04,947
Speaker 2: can adjust whatever they want to suit their driving styles.

1428
01:13:05,307 --> 01:13:08,227
Speaker 2: As with Lewis Hamilton now at Ferrari, he's having trouble

1429
01:13:08,267 --> 01:13:13,027
Speaker 2: with the inherent understeer which Charles Leclair. Charl Leclair has preferred.

1430
01:13:13,067 --> 01:13:15,947
Speaker 2: It's all to do with the basic design. That is

1431
01:13:15,987 --> 01:13:18,787
Speaker 2: why each make of car is different. Brilliant, Bob. Thanks

1432
01:13:19,427 --> 01:13:21,987
Speaker 2: for that extra piece of information, Trevor. I hope you

1433
01:13:22,067 --> 01:13:26,267
Speaker 2: got the info you're after there. Piney says this one.

1434
01:13:26,307 --> 01:13:29,027
Speaker 2: I heard you say yesterday on z B you weren't

1435
01:13:29,067 --> 01:13:31,107
Speaker 2: worried at all for Liam, but you were worried about

1436
01:13:31,107 --> 01:13:31,627
Speaker 2: the Warriors.

1437
01:13:31,827 --> 01:13:32,027
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1438
01:13:32,227 --> 01:13:34,067
Speaker 2: Well I got that one wrong, didn't I about the Warriors?

1439
01:13:34,387 --> 01:13:38,787
Speaker 2: Carlos is pony. Hope Liam gets around the track really quickly,

1440
01:13:38,827 --> 01:13:40,827
Speaker 2: bearing in mind he's never raced on that track prior

1441
01:13:40,827 --> 01:13:43,267
Speaker 2: to this weekend. All the other rookies have. We've heard

1442
01:13:43,267 --> 01:13:46,587
Speaker 2: it before. Kiwis can fly, Go Liam, Good on your

1443
01:13:46,587 --> 01:13:50,307
Speaker 2: Carlos go Liam. Indeed, so, final practice session in around

Speaker 2: tomorrow from five after midday tomorrow will we'll dive back

1446
01:13:58,467 --> 01:14:01,467
Speaker 2: into Formula One. We're keen to give it a lot

1447
01:14:01,547 --> 01:14:04,147
Speaker 2: of a lot of exposure this weekend because this is

1448
01:14:04,227 --> 01:14:08,387
Speaker 2: something pretty special being done by a pretty special key.

1449
01:14:08,987 --> 01:14:11,027
Speaker 2: Nineteen to two. Will take a break, get you across

1450
01:14:11,027 --> 01:14:12,987

1451
01:14:13,147 --> 01:14:16,907
Speaker 2: Our regular across the Ditch correspondent Adam Peacock with us

1452
01:14:16,907 --> 01:14:17,427
Speaker 2: when we come.

1453
01:14:17,347 --> 01:14:21,427
Speaker 1: Back the tough Questions Off the turf. Weekend Sport with

1454
01:14:21,627 --> 01:14:26,747
Speaker 1: Jason Hine and GJ. Gardnerholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builders.

1455
01:14:27,947 --> 01:14:30,907
Speaker 2: Sixteen to two after two o'clock on weekend Sports, Sir

1456
01:14:30,987 --> 01:14:34,307
Speaker 2: Russell Coots, CEO of SALGP is going to join us

1457
01:14:34,387 --> 01:14:37,827
Speaker 2: to talk about some new investment, including a pretty high

1458
01:14:37,907 --> 01:14:42,067
Speaker 2: profile sports star investing into the French sal GP team.

1459
01:14:42,107 --> 01:14:44,467
Speaker 2: But also keen to air from Sir Russell and I'll

1460
01:14:44,467 --> 01:14:47,267
Speaker 2: ask him whether they've made any progress around a long

1461
01:14:47,387 --> 01:14:50,987
Speaker 2: term deal for Auckland. The Auckland event in January terrific

1462
01:14:51,147 --> 01:14:54,387
Speaker 2: by every measure I heard. There's an economic impact report

1463
01:14:54,467 --> 01:14:57,387
Speaker 2: out on it which is very, very glowing in the

1464
01:14:57,907 --> 01:15:00,547
Speaker 2: amount of money that came into Auckland from sal GP.

1465
01:15:00,747 --> 01:15:02,827
Speaker 2: So have they made any progress around a five to

1466
01:15:02,907 --> 01:15:05,467
Speaker 2: five year deal, which is what Sir Russell talked to

1467
01:15:05,627 --> 01:15:07,507
Speaker 2: us about when he when he came into our broadcast

1468
01:15:07,547 --> 01:15:10,267
Speaker 2: position during the Auckland event. He said, look, we want

1469
01:15:10,267 --> 01:15:11,627
Speaker 2: to stay here and we want to come back here

1470
01:15:11,667 --> 01:15:14,067
Speaker 2: every year for the next five years and beyond. So

1471
01:15:14,467 --> 01:15:18,267
Speaker 2: we keen to know whether that conversation has been progressed

1472
01:15:18,747 --> 01:15:21,707
Speaker 2: with those who need to listen to it in Auckland.

1473
01:15:21,867 --> 01:15:24,267
Speaker 2: But let's get you across the Tasman at one forty five.

1474
01:15:24,707 --> 01:15:29,747
Speaker 2: Our Australian correspondence is a long time Manly Eagles fan,

1475
01:15:30,227 --> 01:15:32,827
Speaker 2: Adam Peacock. I'm a little a little bit surprised you

1476
01:15:32,907 --> 01:15:33,587
Speaker 2: picked up mate.

1477
01:15:35,107 --> 01:15:36,907
Speaker 8: Sorry, the lines just dropping out of your hair.

1478
01:15:36,947 --> 01:15:40,947
Speaker 2: Fini Wow did you see that coming last night? We didn't.

1479
01:15:42,267 --> 01:15:45,307
Speaker 8: Yes, and no, I know. Ten minutes in well when

1480
01:15:45,347 --> 01:15:48,707
Speaker 8: we just launched into a brilliant try to score early

1481
01:15:48,787 --> 01:15:51,147
Speaker 8: and then it's like okay, yeah, same old, same old,

1482
01:15:51,187 --> 01:15:54,547
Speaker 8: But now we just lost lot of control of the

1483
01:15:54,587 --> 01:15:57,427
Speaker 8: game and didn't have any momentum. Half time was good

1484
01:15:57,467 --> 01:16:00,387
Speaker 8: to us, but they're still just making silly airs and

1485
01:16:00,467 --> 01:16:02,427
Speaker 8: the pressure from the Warriors obviously comped up a bit

1486
01:16:02,507 --> 01:16:06,947
Speaker 8: after copying it in Vegas and then come and playing

1487
01:16:06,947 --> 01:16:09,667
Speaker 8: in front of their home crowd. Obviously a bit of

1488
01:16:09,707 --> 01:16:12,987
Speaker 8: a motion around Tayo Harris data ceremony before so perfect

1489
01:16:12,987 --> 01:16:16,347
Speaker 8: Soilmful Warriors capitalized on it and yeah, one of those

1490
01:16:16,467 --> 01:16:19,987
Speaker 8: nights at which kind of shows me why, like everyone

1491
01:16:19,987 --> 01:16:21,667
Speaker 8: want to getting carried away. I think last week's how

1492
01:16:21,747 --> 01:16:25,947
Speaker 8: Manly a genuine Premiership contender, not really because they lose

1493
01:16:26,027 --> 01:16:29,347
Speaker 8: games like this, and yeah, until until it's about winning

1494
01:16:29,387 --> 01:16:32,027
Speaker 8: games like that, they're getting nowhere near the last game

1495
01:16:32,067 --> 01:16:32,507
Speaker 8: of the season.

1496
01:16:32,747 --> 01:16:35,067
Speaker 2: And to compound it all as well, injuries to a

1497
01:16:35,107 --> 01:16:38,707
Speaker 2: couple of pretty key players, Tom Treboievitch and Daily Cheery

1498
01:16:38,707 --> 01:16:42,307
Speaker 2: evens as well. Man he looked a major discomfort Daily, didn't.

1499
01:16:42,067 --> 01:16:47,067
Speaker 8: They I've been there. I've I've come home once and

1500
01:16:47,627 --> 01:16:49,107
Speaker 8: got out of the car and I back went into

1501
01:16:49,187 --> 01:16:51,307
Speaker 8: total spasm, and our labor on my front morn for

1502
01:16:51,427 --> 01:16:54,827
Speaker 8: the next hour to back just completely locks in the

1503
01:16:54,907 --> 01:16:57,027
Speaker 8: fact that Daily Terry and you can see when he's

1504
01:16:57,027 --> 01:16:59,947
Speaker 8: walking off he is in so much pain just putting

1505
01:16:59,987 --> 01:17:02,547
Speaker 8: one foot in front of the other. It is the worst,

1506
01:17:03,307 --> 01:17:07,347
Speaker 8: like horrible, So I can't imagine he his plane trip

1507
01:17:07,467 --> 01:17:10,027
Speaker 8: home where he has to sit for two hours and

1508
01:17:10,347 --> 01:17:13,947
Speaker 8: really compromise that back would be anything anywhere near front.

1509
01:17:14,467 --> 01:17:17,587
Speaker 8: So yeah, feel for the kay just as my eyes

1510
01:17:17,627 --> 01:17:19,707
Speaker 8: were watering when I was watching that. So hopefully it

1511
01:17:19,787 --> 01:17:21,947
Speaker 8: can clear and he can play next week. But there's

1512
01:17:21,947 --> 01:17:24,827
Speaker 8: obviously something structurally play in there that they'll have to

1513
01:17:24,907 --> 01:17:26,027
Speaker 8: check out and hope that he's okay.

1514
01:17:26,147 --> 01:17:29,187
Speaker 2: All right, we'll hope for the best for Daily Cherry Evans.

1515
01:17:29,227 --> 01:17:30,987
Speaker 2: Just while we're on the subject of the NRL, Dylan

1516
01:17:31,067 --> 01:17:35,867
Speaker 2: Brown officially inking the most lucrative contact and contract rather

1517
01:17:36,147 --> 01:17:39,427
Speaker 2: in our history, joining Newcastle next year for ten years.

1518
01:17:39,707 --> 01:17:41,507
Speaker 2: The length of the contract seems to be the thing

1519
01:17:41,547 --> 01:17:42,947
Speaker 2: which is raising most eyebrows.

1520
01:17:43,827 --> 01:17:44,387
Speaker 10: Yeah, so.

1521
01:17:45,987 --> 01:17:50,587
Speaker 8: Look, Newcastle needs to make a splash in the recruitment market.

1522
01:17:50,627 --> 01:17:52,187
Speaker 8: They've missed out on a number of players. I've had

1523
01:17:52,187 --> 01:17:54,507
Speaker 8: a couple of players leave as well. I sort out

1524
01:17:54,507 --> 01:17:56,187
Speaker 8: their salary cap and I thought this was the best

1525
01:17:56,187 --> 01:17:58,907
Speaker 8: way of doing it, to go harder to player like

1526
01:17:59,027 --> 01:18:02,467
Speaker 8: Dylan Brown. Enormous potential still ever know he's kind of

1527
01:18:02,547 --> 01:18:06,067
Speaker 8: established himself as an international player for the Kiwis. But yeah,

1528
01:18:06,347 --> 01:18:08,187
Speaker 8: but you look at it and Michael Chammis from The

1529
01:18:08,187 --> 01:18:11,067
Speaker 8: Herald actually did a bit of digging about Okay, what's

1530
01:18:11,107 --> 01:18:14,107
Speaker 8: that one point three million a year mean? And oddly

1531
01:18:14,227 --> 01:18:17,987
Speaker 8: enough you're decade on decades, so you go back thirty years,

1532
01:18:18,027 --> 01:18:22,027
Speaker 8: twenty years, ten years, the salary cap has essentially doubled

1533
01:18:22,067 --> 01:18:24,387
Speaker 8: each time, so I think Newcastle have looked at it

1534
01:18:24,427 --> 01:18:26,387
Speaker 8: and gone, okay, we're going to double, We're going to bet.

1535
01:18:26,547 --> 01:18:30,227
Speaker 8: But that one point three is actually not a huge

1536
01:18:30,227 --> 01:18:33,507
Speaker 8: amount when you look in six, seven years, eight years

1537
01:18:33,587 --> 01:18:37,867
Speaker 8: time comparatively to the rest of the salaries which are

1538
01:18:37,987 --> 01:18:40,267
Speaker 8: going to kind of climb up with the salary cap

1539
01:18:40,307 --> 01:18:42,067
Speaker 8: climbing up. So it's a bit of a risk. Look

1540
01:18:42,387 --> 01:18:44,027
Speaker 8: in the next five years is a huge risk because

1541
01:18:44,067 --> 01:18:47,187
Speaker 8: this guy hasn't proved himself as a match winner week

1542
01:18:47,227 --> 01:18:49,867
Speaker 8: in week out, like a like a daily Jerry Evans

1543
01:18:49,867 --> 01:18:51,507
Speaker 8: for instance, or a Shawn Johnson.

1544
01:18:51,307 --> 01:18:51,627
Speaker 14: Or you know.

1545
01:18:52,187 --> 01:18:54,707
Speaker 8: So you know it's to throw at the stumps, but

1546
01:18:55,347 --> 01:18:56,507
Speaker 8: it's a big throw at the stumps.

1547
01:18:57,507 --> 01:19:00,667
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a wonderful it's a wonderful use of mixing

1548
01:19:00,787 --> 01:19:03,067
Speaker 2: metaphors across sports to throw at the stumps and rugby

1549
01:19:03,147 --> 01:19:05,347
Speaker 2: lege I love it, love it. Let's let's go to

1550
01:19:05,427 --> 01:19:07,787
Speaker 2: football with a soccer and the week ahead of a

1551
01:19:07,827 --> 01:19:11,187
Speaker 2: couple of pretty crucial World Cup qualifiers against Indonesia at

1552
01:19:11,267 --> 01:19:14,627
Speaker 2: home and then China away, coach Tony Popovich has named

1553
01:19:14,627 --> 01:19:17,427
Speaker 2: the squad. I've seen mixed reviews on the squad selection.

1554
01:19:17,547 --> 01:19:18,187
Speaker 2: What do you make of it?

1555
01:19:19,107 --> 01:19:23,587
Speaker 8: Yeah, it feels like Popper has basically just gone, Okay,

1556
01:19:23,707 --> 01:19:25,747
Speaker 8: we've got two huge games that we can't stuck up in.

1557
01:19:26,267 --> 01:19:28,027
Speaker 8: I don't have much time with them. I'm going to

1558
01:19:28,067 --> 01:19:30,787
Speaker 8: go with players that I know personally and I know

1559
01:19:30,907 --> 01:19:33,027
Speaker 8: how to trigger them to get the best out of them,

1560
01:19:33,787 --> 01:19:39,387
Speaker 8: which yeah, I get, But is that representative of what

1561
01:19:39,547 --> 01:19:42,547
Speaker 8: you need in a national team setting. It's not a club,

1562
01:19:42,627 --> 01:19:46,387
Speaker 8: it's a national team. It's Oh, it's very harsh on

1563
01:19:46,467 --> 01:19:48,667
Speaker 8: guys like Nesrara and Kunda, who deserves to be there,

1564
01:19:49,187 --> 01:19:52,067
Speaker 8: I mean, and Max Ballard for intance as well. That

1565
01:19:52,867 --> 01:19:54,707
Speaker 8: like he's gone with a guy Ryan T's, with all

1566
01:19:54,747 --> 01:19:56,627
Speaker 8: due respect the Ryants, he's playing in the A League.

1567
01:19:56,627 --> 01:19:59,747
Speaker 8: Max Ballard's playing in the whole and week in week out,

1568
01:19:59,787 --> 01:20:02,067
Speaker 8: playing really well. And he's the type of player in

1569
01:20:02,147 --> 01:20:05,267
Speaker 8: my opinion anyway, that soft Wo's needs. So he's he's

1570
01:20:05,307 --> 01:20:07,787
Speaker 8: put himself out there. But now if he gets two results,

1571
01:20:08,107 --> 01:20:10,387
Speaker 8: it's like, oh, i'll play on too good, Good on you.

1572
01:20:10,747 --> 01:20:14,147
Speaker 8: But if you don't, he's left himself wide open to

1573
01:20:14,187 --> 01:20:17,827
Speaker 8: be rightly criticized in my opinion to And this is

1574
01:20:17,867 --> 01:20:21,187
Speaker 8: all this so no one's the expert here. We're only

1575
01:20:21,267 --> 01:20:22,427
Speaker 8: experts telling up to the fact.

1576
01:20:22,507 --> 01:20:23,027
Speaker 11: Really, but.

1577
01:20:24,707 --> 01:20:26,147
Speaker 8: Yeah, good question mark for me.

1578
01:20:26,427 --> 01:20:28,787
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have read a lot of the same stuff.

1579
01:20:28,827 --> 01:20:31,907
Speaker 2: And yeah, the players you mentioned are and Kunda Ballad both, Yeah,

1580
01:20:32,187 --> 01:20:34,507
Speaker 2: both I think worthy of inclusion. But let's see how

1581
01:20:34,547 --> 01:20:36,267
Speaker 2: it goes. It might turn out that Pop is a

1582
01:20:36,307 --> 01:20:38,547
Speaker 2: genius and we'll find that out over the next week

1583
01:20:38,667 --> 01:20:42,627
Speaker 2: or so. Just to finish, Stuart McGill X international cricketer

1584
01:20:42,747 --> 01:20:45,467
Speaker 2: found guilty of taking part in the supply of cocaine.

1585
01:20:47,267 --> 01:20:48,827
Speaker 2: Sad story this anything you can add?

1586
01:20:49,907 --> 01:20:51,747
Speaker 8: Oh, really from the fact that this is what happens

1587
01:20:51,787 --> 01:20:55,347
Speaker 8: when you go off the rails. Yeah, it's sad. It's

1588
01:20:55,827 --> 01:20:59,027
Speaker 8: like one of the he had a great media career,

1589
01:20:59,067 --> 01:21:01,747
Speaker 8: he had a great cricket career. I don't know how

1590
01:21:01,787 --> 01:21:04,747
Speaker 8: he gets involved in this, but teencations obviously got the

1591
01:21:04,787 --> 01:21:09,547
Speaker 8: better of him and it's just sad. In Capital letters.

1592
01:21:09,747 --> 01:21:12,627
Speaker 8: That's what's happened to the guy because he had a

1593
01:21:12,707 --> 01:21:14,667
Speaker 8: lot more of the offer and retirement to cricket and

1594
01:21:14,707 --> 01:21:18,627
Speaker 8: also his own life. But nice, I mean now I'm

1595
01:21:18,627 --> 01:21:21,907
Speaker 8: just going to say, probably stare at a wall in

01:23:17,387 --> 01:23:19,747

01:25:50,227 --> 01:25:53,227
Speaker 13: prossiber catching opportunity that is, of course where the ball goes.

1678
01:25:54,307 --> 01:25:56,907
Speaker 13: It just takes one ball from Suzie Bates to get

1679
01:25:56,987 --> 01:26:00,947
Speaker 13: that one run required in Stri Lanka. They have been

1680
01:26:01,027 --> 01:26:04,467
Speaker 13: dominant today. They've been clinical in everything that they have done.

1681
01:26:04,627 --> 01:26:07,507
Speaker 2: Yeah, seven wicket win for scheral Anka to bounce back

01:26:16,347 --> 01:26:20,267
Speaker 2: Another gold fist in the A League. It is brat

1686
01:26:20,387 --> 01:26:21,747
Speaker 2: Sett but he's done it.

1687
01:26:25,587 --> 01:26:25,787

01:26:30,387 --> 01:26:34,827
Speaker 2: It's five here. MacArthur beating Adelaide United five four last night.

1692
01:26:35,347 --> 01:26:38,827
Speaker 2: Adelaide scored and added time to make it what they

1693
01:26:38,907 --> 01:26:41,507
Speaker 2: thought would be five all, but it was chalked off

1694
01:26:41,547 --> 01:26:44,787
Speaker 2: by a linesman's flag. It would have been a cracker,

1695
01:26:44,867 --> 01:26:47,107
Speaker 2: a five all drawer. You don't get too many of those.

1696
01:26:47,227 --> 01:26:50,027
Speaker 2: A big one for the Brumbies meantime in Super Rugby. Right,

01:27:45,027 --> 01:27:49,667

01:29:13,547 --> 01:29:17,187
Speaker 11: That was you know, also significant for the Germans.

1737
01:29:17,227 --> 01:29:20,427
Speaker 19: And as a result of that, you know, I mean

1738

1741
01:29:30,467 --> 01:29:31,827
Speaker 19: be a fantastic event, you know.

1742
01:29:31,987 --> 01:29:35,467

01:29:41,187 --> 01:29:43,547
Speaker 19: the New York event at the Bardle of Sol GP,

1746

01:29:46,667 --> 01:29:49,107
Speaker 11: That's gonna be fun to hopefully meet him there.

1748
01:29:49,307 --> 01:29:51,227
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I was going to ask about the Central Pe

1749
01:29:51,387 --> 01:29:54,107
Speaker 2: event in France and September, but I guess that kind

1750
01:29:54,147 --> 01:29:56,187
Speaker 2: of falls in the in the European football season. But

1751
01:29:56,307 --> 01:29:59,427
Speaker 2: any chance to man himself like pop into the French event.

1752
01:30:00,707 --> 01:30:01,187
Speaker 11: Who knows?

1753
01:30:01,867 --> 01:30:06,107
Speaker 19: I mean, as I said, I understand that he's the

1754
01:30:06,347 --> 01:30:07,987
Speaker 19: plans of being made from to be in New York,

1755
01:30:08,107 --> 01:30:11,707
Speaker 19: so that'd be great. Are you going to be in

1756
01:30:11,827 --> 01:30:15,667
Speaker 19: Center page, Jason? Is that one that's on your character?

1757
01:30:15,827 --> 01:30:18,547
Speaker 2: Well, I would never I would never turn down a

1758
01:30:18,587 --> 01:30:20,907
Speaker 2: trip to CenTra Fe, Sir Russell, as you would know,

1759
01:30:22,307 --> 01:30:25,547
Speaker 2: how do commercial deals like this come together. Is it

1760
01:30:25,627 --> 01:30:28,067
Speaker 2: each of the individual syndicates who go out to the market.

1761
01:30:28,187 --> 01:30:31,307
Speaker 2: Do you, as the overriding organization get involved. How do

1762
01:30:31,347 --> 01:30:32,907
Speaker 2: these commercial deals work?

1763
01:30:33,787 --> 01:30:33,867
Speaker 20: Now?

1764
01:30:34,107 --> 01:30:37,787
Speaker 19: In this case, this is the teams occasionally, you know,

1765
01:30:38,747 --> 01:30:43,107
Speaker 19: well not occasionally. We also get approaches from outside entities

1766
01:30:43,547 --> 01:30:48,827
Speaker 19: as to you know, especially now that's quite a regular thing,

1767
01:30:49,027 --> 01:30:53,507
Speaker 19: you know, as to which teams are available to take

1768
01:30:53,627 --> 01:30:57,627
Speaker 19: investment and so forth. But some of the teams are

1769
01:30:57,707 --> 01:31:03,587
Speaker 19: also selling parcels of equity now in their teams. And

1770
01:31:03,747 --> 01:31:08,987
Speaker 19: we're about to take Team thirteen and four fourteen to market. Well,

1771
01:31:09,147 --> 01:31:12,667
Speaker 19: there will be a fairly structured process behind that this time,

1772
01:31:13,907 --> 01:31:19,227
Speaker 19: so that'll go to market soon and then we know

1773
01:31:19,347 --> 01:31:22,547
Speaker 19: that there are potential buyers out there that will be

1774
01:31:23,387 --> 01:31:25,387
Speaker 19: bidding for those.

1775
01:31:24,787 --> 01:31:29,227
Speaker 11: Next two teams. So, you know, it's exciting time for

1776
01:31:29,467 --> 01:31:30,067
Speaker 11: for s LGP.

1777
01:31:30,187 --> 01:31:34,507
Speaker 19: We're growing pretty rapidly and you know, if I'm honest

1778
01:31:34,587 --> 01:31:38,227
Speaker 19: with you, I never thought we'd be selling teams at

1779
01:31:38,307 --> 01:31:41,587
Speaker 19: these sort of premiums, you know, even two years ago.

1780
01:31:41,667 --> 01:31:44,947
Speaker 11: It's it's it's amazing to see the growth.

1781
01:31:45,147 --> 01:31:47,907
Speaker 2: Because you added Brazil and Italy of course for this

1782
01:31:48,067 --> 01:31:52,347
Speaker 2: season to take it to twelve, so fourteen is that?

1783
01:31:52,747 --> 01:31:54,867
Speaker 2: Is that what your plan is for the next ol

1784
01:31:54,947 --> 01:31:55,627
Speaker 2: GP season?

1785
01:31:56,427 --> 01:31:58,907
Speaker 19: Yes, it is, yeah, yes, so we'll probably go to

1786
01:31:58,987 --> 01:32:01,627
Speaker 19: a seven and seven format, you know, meaning seven on

1787
01:32:01,707 --> 01:32:04,147
Speaker 19: one side of the draw, seven on the other and

1788
01:32:04,307 --> 01:32:08,867
Speaker 19: race more races each of the events. So yeah, that

1789
01:32:09,067 --> 01:32:13,987
Speaker 19: that's exciting news, you know. And you mentioned the new

1790
01:32:14,027 --> 01:32:18,787
Speaker 19: Bartle of Brazil SELDP team. They've they've just signed two

1791
01:32:19,027 --> 01:32:22,547
Speaker 19: new sponsors which makes them profitable already, you know, which

1792
01:32:22,627 --> 01:32:23,387
Speaker 19: is fantastic.

1793
01:32:23,587 --> 01:32:25,827
Speaker 11: And similar story for the British.

1794
01:32:25,467 --> 01:32:28,947
Speaker 19: As well, where they've just signed JP Morgan and how

1795
01:32:29,067 --> 01:32:33,627
Speaker 19: and Insurance, so that takes them into a similar position,

1796
01:32:33,787 --> 01:32:37,387
Speaker 19: which is great news for the for everyone involved.

1797
01:32:37,387 --> 01:32:38,747
Speaker 11: You know, the model is for these.

1798
01:32:38,627 --> 01:32:43,307
Speaker 19: Teams to become profitable and as other facets of the

1799
01:32:43,347 --> 01:32:47,547
Speaker 19: business grow. Of course, right now it's reliant on sponsorship revenue,

1800
01:32:47,627 --> 01:32:50,587
Speaker 19: but as the other parts of the business grow, you know,

1801
01:32:50,707 --> 01:32:54,987
Speaker 19: for example obviously the broadcast and then licensing rights and

1802
01:32:55,827 --> 01:32:59,067
Speaker 19: participation in their own home events as well, that.

1803
01:33:00,627 --> 01:33:01,507
Speaker 11: That will only get better.

1804
01:33:02,307 --> 01:33:06,827
Speaker 2: So gp Auckland's massive success when you were here January,

1805
01:33:07,867 --> 01:33:09,987
Speaker 2: have you made any progress on remember when you joined

1806
01:33:10,027 --> 01:33:12,027
Speaker 2: us on the broadcast that day you talked about wanting

1807
01:33:12,107 --> 01:33:13,707
Speaker 2: to make this a long term thing. I think you

1808
01:33:13,787 --> 01:33:16,627
Speaker 2: talked about a five year deal with Auckland. Any progress

1809
01:33:16,707 --> 01:33:18,907
Speaker 2: in locking something like that and over the next few years.

1810
01:33:19,787 --> 01:33:21,827
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, we're in the final stages of.

1811
01:33:23,787 --> 01:33:29,027
Speaker 19: Concluding the twenty twenty six calendar, but that's now involving

1812
01:33:29,147 --> 01:33:33,067
Speaker 19: quite a few venues that have multi term agreements, you know,

1813
01:33:33,147 --> 01:33:35,467
Speaker 19: so the long term visions that go to twenty plus

1814
01:33:35,547 --> 01:33:38,907
Speaker 19: events and have events at the same time every year.

1815
01:33:39,067 --> 01:33:42,507
Speaker 11: So it's in discussion with Auckland.

1816
01:33:42,507 --> 01:33:48,707
Speaker 19: That we are doing a new four year term with

1817
01:33:49,347 --> 01:33:51,867
Speaker 19: the right of two year extension or or go straight

1818
01:33:51,907 --> 01:33:55,827
Speaker 19: to a six year term, So that's in discussion or

1819
01:33:55,867 --> 01:33:56,667
Speaker 19: six season term.

1820
01:33:56,707 --> 01:34:01,267
Speaker 11: That's in discussion now and I think it's I think

1821
01:34:01,267 --> 01:34:03,267
Speaker 11: it'd be great for both parties.

1822
01:34:03,307 --> 01:34:07,467
Speaker 19: And when you look at other sports events around the world,

1823
01:34:07,707 --> 01:34:09,907
Speaker 19: you know, look at what they do in Australia with the.

1824
01:34:10,547 --> 01:34:14,547
Speaker 11: Melbourne you know, with the.

1825
01:34:16,507 --> 01:34:19,747
Speaker 19: Tennis and the or the Melbourne Cup, you know, as

1826
01:34:19,747 --> 01:34:23,107
Speaker 19: two examples of sort of iconic annual events that happen

1827
01:34:23,987 --> 01:34:26,587
Speaker 19: and over time people get to know that those events

1828
01:34:26,627 --> 01:34:31,187
Speaker 19: are on and you know, we had a great we

1829
01:34:31,347 --> 01:34:33,067
Speaker 19: just got the economic impact.

1830
01:34:34,187 --> 01:34:34,547
Speaker 11: Return.

1831
01:34:34,667 --> 01:34:38,307
Speaker 19: The study on that from back from Deloitte's and indicated

1832
01:34:38,347 --> 01:34:40,467
Speaker 19: that it was thirty six million US dollars for the

1833
01:34:40,547 --> 01:34:45,427
Speaker 19: Auckland event sixty two million Kiwi dollars. That's that's fantastic

1834
01:34:45,507 --> 01:34:49,307
Speaker 19: and that will only grow as as you you know,

1835
01:34:49,427 --> 01:34:53,387
Speaker 19: sort of becomes a fixed event on the calendar annually.

1836
01:34:54,707 --> 01:34:57,387
Speaker 2: If I'm involved in this, from an Auckland point of view,

1837
01:34:57,427 --> 01:34:59,347
Speaker 2: I'm biting your hand off for the six year deal.

1838
01:34:59,867 --> 01:35:01,507
Speaker 2: Do you feel confident you'll you'll get it?

1839
01:35:02,387 --> 01:35:06,107
Speaker 19: I think I think all parties are pretty aligned there

1840
01:35:06,147 --> 01:35:08,467
Speaker 19: that we all want to get it done. From a

1841
01:35:08,547 --> 01:35:12,427
Speaker 19: Sauldp perspective, it was a magnificent event. I think it

1842
01:35:12,547 --> 01:35:15,467
Speaker 19: worked for Auckland City as well. Know it worked for

1843
01:35:15,547 --> 01:35:19,387
Speaker 19: New Zealand. So you know, if you look at the

1844
01:35:19,507 --> 01:35:25,867
Speaker 19: return on that, you know Deloitte's study, you know, fifteen

1845
01:35:26,027 --> 01:35:30,347
Speaker 19: times plus return is not a bad return. And as

1846
01:35:30,387 --> 01:35:33,427
Speaker 19: I said, because it's an annual event that grows over time.

1847
01:35:34,467 --> 01:35:36,587
Speaker 19: So yeah, we're excited about it, and I think the

1848
01:35:36,707 --> 01:35:40,467
Speaker 19: authorities and you know on the other side, which are

1849
01:35:40,547 --> 01:35:46,067
Speaker 19: obviously Auckland City and MB are equally motivated to try

1850
01:35:46,067 --> 01:35:48,787
Speaker 19: and conclude arrangements and get a deal in place.

1851
01:35:48,827 --> 01:35:49,867
Speaker 11: But we'll see.

1852
01:35:49,987 --> 01:35:52,987
Speaker 19: As I said, we're announcing our calendar or a big

1853
01:35:53,027 --> 01:35:56,067
Speaker 19: part of our calendar in a few weeks time, so

1854
01:35:56,507 --> 01:35:57,707
Speaker 19: hopefully Auckland's on it.

1855
01:35:57,827 --> 01:36:00,347
Speaker 2: Yeah, look forward to seeing Auckland on it. Absolutely. You're

1856
01:36:00,427 --> 01:36:03,227
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles at the moment for this weekend, followed

1857
01:36:03,267 --> 01:36:06,227
Speaker 2: immediately by San Francisco. How much you're looking forward to

1858
01:36:06,267 --> 01:36:07,067
Speaker 2: the next two weekends.

1859
01:36:08,467 --> 01:36:12,747
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's going to be great. I mean Los Angeles, the.

1860
01:36:14,587 --> 01:36:17,827
Speaker 19: The Roles Los Angeles Sel Grand Prix, that's going to

1861
01:36:17,907 --> 01:36:23,547
Speaker 19: be probably lighter to moderate wins. And then obviously the

1862
01:36:23,947 --> 01:36:26,787
Speaker 19: Oracle San Francisco Soel Grand Prix. We all know what

1863
01:36:26,907 --> 01:36:29,907
Speaker 19: San Francisco delivers articlarly this time of the year. It's

1864
01:36:30,507 --> 01:36:33,547
Speaker 19: we may see the strongest wins of the season in

1865
01:36:33,627 --> 01:36:37,867
Speaker 19: San Francisco, and that's gonna be quite a challenge for the.

1866
01:36:38,667 --> 01:36:39,627
Speaker 11: For the for the team.

1867
01:36:39,747 --> 01:36:42,627
Speaker 19: So two very different events, you know, from a New

1868
01:36:42,707 --> 01:36:47,187
Speaker 19: Zealand standpoint, It's interesting. I've been looking at the data

1869
01:36:47,547 --> 01:36:52,907
Speaker 19: recently and the Kiwis and the Spanish are by far

1870
01:36:53,107 --> 01:36:56,067
Speaker 19: the best at gaining positions during the race.

1871
01:36:56,907 --> 01:36:59,347
Speaker 11: That's the good news. The bad news is that both

1872
01:36:59,387 --> 01:37:01,187
Speaker 11: of them have been starting poorly.

1873
01:37:01,827 --> 01:37:05,227
Speaker 19: Now we know that that Pete Building knows how to

1874
01:37:05,267 --> 01:37:08,227
Speaker 19: start when he needs you know, he can start well,

1875
01:37:08,347 --> 01:37:12,027
Speaker 19: So they'll be no doubt looking to tidy that up.

1876
01:37:12,107 --> 01:37:14,067
Speaker 19: And I think if they do, they stand a real

1877
01:37:14,227 --> 01:37:19,587
Speaker 19: chance of winning here and in San Francisco. So right now,

1878
01:37:20,147 --> 01:37:23,987
Speaker 19: right now, the Australians are averaging their position at mark one,

1879
01:37:24,067 --> 01:37:26,507
Speaker 19: which is a pretty strong indicator of how they've started.

1880
01:37:26,547 --> 01:37:29,347
Speaker 19: The Australians are averaging two to three places better than

1881
01:37:29,427 --> 01:37:33,747
Speaker 19: then all the other teams, so that gives you a

1882
01:37:33,827 --> 01:37:38,347
Speaker 19: huge advantage, you know, and the Kiwis are not very good.

1883
01:37:38,387 --> 01:37:41,707
Speaker 19: You know that they are averaging around sixth at turning

1884
01:37:41,787 --> 01:37:44,147
Speaker 19: mark one, which is not so great.

1885
01:37:44,307 --> 01:37:47,427
Speaker 11: So so they've got tidy that up, and if they do,

1886
01:37:47,707 --> 01:37:49,107
Speaker 11: I think they're going to be right in there.

1887
01:37:49,267 --> 01:37:51,267
Speaker 19: You know that they're clearly they've clearly got the boat

1888
01:37:51,347 --> 01:37:55,387
Speaker 19: speed and the the I think they sell well tactically

1889
01:37:55,507 --> 01:37:57,507
Speaker 19: positioning the boat well around the race course and that

1890
01:37:57,627 --> 01:38:01,187
Speaker 19: means they gain places generally, you know that boat's well.

1891
01:38:01,227 --> 01:38:03,267
Speaker 19: If they can get off the start line and improve

1892
01:38:03,347 --> 01:38:06,547
Speaker 19: that even by one or two places on average to

1893
01:38:06,587 --> 01:38:07,307
Speaker 19: be right in there.

1894
01:38:07,267 --> 01:38:09,547
Speaker 2: It's pretty tight though for Russell isn't it After three events,

1895
01:38:09,587 --> 01:38:12,827
Speaker 2: Great Britain, Spain, Australia, New Zealand all within four points

1896
01:38:12,867 --> 01:38:16,347
Speaker 2: of each other, the top seven separated by just twelve points.

1897
01:38:16,747 --> 01:38:19,507
Speaker 2: Does this feel like the most competitive sle GP season yet?

1898
01:38:20,547 --> 01:38:20,747
Speaker 11: Well?

1899
01:38:20,867 --> 01:38:23,027
Speaker 19: Yeah, there's been three different winners, hasn't there you know,

1900
01:38:23,387 --> 01:38:26,787
Speaker 19: and so far in the three events, I think the

1901
01:38:26,867 --> 01:38:29,907
Speaker 19: thing about the British is when you look at their data,

1902
01:38:31,107 --> 01:38:34,307
Speaker 19: they start well, they're a little bit behind the Australians

1903
01:38:34,587 --> 01:38:38,707
Speaker 19: in that regard, but they start well, they actually don't

1904
01:38:38,787 --> 01:38:42,547
Speaker 19: lose places around the course. It's really interesting, you know.

1905
01:38:42,667 --> 01:38:45,427
Speaker 19: So where the Australians have lost some places downwind on

1906
01:38:45,507 --> 01:38:46,467
Speaker 19: the on occasions and so.

1907
01:38:46,627 --> 01:38:49,587
Speaker 11: Forth, the British just haven't lost anything, you know.

1908
01:38:50,667 --> 01:38:54,427
Speaker 19: So where they turn mark one that position from there

1909
01:38:54,467 --> 01:38:56,347
Speaker 19: on in it's been upside for the British.

1910
01:38:56,587 --> 01:38:57,907
Speaker 11: Or they've stayed the same, you know.

1911
01:38:58,067 --> 01:39:01,587
Speaker 19: So and that consistency is meant that they're leading the

1912
01:39:02,187 --> 01:39:04,507
Speaker 19: role ex SALGP Championship at the States, you know.

1913
01:39:04,707 --> 01:39:07,667
Speaker 11: So however, you know the next two events are going

1914
01:39:07,747 --> 01:39:08,467
Speaker 11: to be pretty different.

1915
01:39:08,707 --> 01:39:11,347
Speaker 19: They'll be very different, i think from what we've seen

1916
01:39:11,467 --> 01:39:15,147
Speaker 19: so far, and we could see a real shake up,

1917
01:39:15,307 --> 01:39:17,107
Speaker 19: you know. And as I said, if the Kiwis in

1918
01:39:17,147 --> 01:39:19,027
Speaker 19: the Spanish can get off the start, and we know

1919
01:39:19,107 --> 01:39:23,347
Speaker 19: that both those teams can win, so we shall see,

1920
01:39:23,587 --> 01:39:24,107
Speaker 19: we shall see.

1921
01:39:24,147 --> 01:39:26,667
Speaker 2: And just back to the French. Sydney was the first

1922
01:39:26,707 --> 01:39:28,467
Speaker 2: time we've seen them compete. They missed the first two

1923
01:39:28,507 --> 01:39:30,707
Speaker 2: with equipment problems, but they had a couple of top

1924
01:39:30,787 --> 01:39:34,147
Speaker 2: three finishers in Fleet Racing and Sydney to finish sixth overall,

1925
01:39:34,307 --> 01:39:36,187
Speaker 2: Have they sort of themselves out the gears all sorted?

1926
01:39:37,467 --> 01:39:38,147
Speaker 11: Yeah, they're boats.

1927
01:39:38,227 --> 01:39:41,987
Speaker 19: We will hopefully called boats on the starting line this

1928
01:39:42,147 --> 01:39:48,507
Speaker 19: time colp, barring any unforeseen situations like we had in

1929
01:39:48,587 --> 01:39:53,107
Speaker 19: Sydney with the US team. But anyway that, yeah, they've

1930
01:39:53,107 --> 01:39:55,987
Speaker 19: been I was super impressed with their performance because they

1931
01:39:56,027 --> 01:39:59,387
Speaker 19: missed the first two events through no fold of their own,

1932
01:40:00,227 --> 01:40:06,707
Speaker 19: and came out sailing really well in Sydney. So yeah,

1933
01:40:06,707 --> 01:40:11,667
Speaker 19: that was an impressive performance that you know that that

1934
01:40:11,787 --> 01:40:14,147
Speaker 19: they obviously performed well last season too and just through

1935
01:40:14,427 --> 01:40:17,147
Speaker 19: through you know, a place in the final away on

1936
01:40:17,267 --> 01:40:22,187
Speaker 19: the last day in San Francisco. But I'm able to

1937
01:40:22,187 --> 01:40:23,867
Speaker 19: have learned from that and you'd expect them to be

1938
01:40:24,027 --> 01:40:26,747
Speaker 19: pretty strong and they're obviously that they're another team.

1939
01:40:26,787 --> 01:40:29,267
Speaker 11: That's that's that's in a great position.

1940
01:40:29,067 --> 01:40:33,547
Speaker 19: Commercially as well, which obviously allows them to you know,

1941
01:40:33,787 --> 01:40:37,347
Speaker 19: plan ahead and bring more up and coming members into

1942
01:40:37,387 --> 01:40:41,467
Speaker 19: their squad. So obviously with this, you know, sponsorship of

1943
01:40:41,547 --> 01:40:44,587
Speaker 19: a corps, I know that they've got some other big

1944
01:40:44,667 --> 01:40:51,227
Speaker 19: announcements pending, you know, and obviously announcing in Bape's participation is.

1945
01:40:51,227 --> 01:40:54,187
Speaker 11: Only going to help that. So that, yeah, will there

1946
01:40:54,267 --> 01:40:56,147
Speaker 11: be a strong team in the future. Of course they

1947
01:40:56,187 --> 01:40:56,707
Speaker 11: are going to be.

1948
01:40:56,787 --> 01:41:00,347
Speaker 19: You know that they've got I think nationally, they've got

1949
01:41:00,347 --> 01:41:04,307
Speaker 19: a very strong Olympic program, so they've got a good

1950
01:41:05,507 --> 01:41:09,227
Speaker 19: you know pathway of young athletes.

1951
01:41:08,787 --> 01:41:11,907
Speaker 11: That to t happened to in the future, you know,

1952
01:41:12,307 --> 01:41:13,667
Speaker 11: the French will be strong for some time.

1953
01:41:13,747 --> 01:41:16,827
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, driven well by Quentin de Lapere of course,

1954
01:41:17,267 --> 01:41:19,107
Speaker 2: sir rous. Well, just while I've got you before you go,

1955
01:41:19,387 --> 01:41:21,347
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen heard the chat about the America's

1956
01:41:21,347 --> 01:41:24,787
Speaker 2: Cup potentially returning to Auckland as well in twenty twenty

1957
01:41:24,867 --> 01:41:27,387
Speaker 2: seven Team New Zealand and discussions around at the moment,

1958
01:41:27,427 --> 01:41:29,627
Speaker 2: I know it's not not anything to do with you now,

1959
01:41:29,707 --> 01:41:31,307
Speaker 2: but is that something you'd like to see? Would you

1960
01:41:31,387 --> 01:41:33,867
Speaker 2: like to see Team New Zealand defend on home waters.

1961
01:41:35,387 --> 01:41:35,587
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1962
01:41:35,587 --> 01:41:37,947
Speaker 19: Well, as you know, I sort of stepped out of

1963
01:41:37,987 --> 01:41:40,307
Speaker 19: the America's Cup some years ago, so I haven't really

1964
01:41:40,387 --> 01:41:41,347
Speaker 19: been close to it.

1965
01:41:41,507 --> 01:41:45,267
Speaker 11: I mean, it's America's Cup's obviously a great event. You know,

1966
01:41:47,067 --> 01:41:48,227
Speaker 11: Soldier piece quite different.

1967
01:41:48,267 --> 01:41:50,387
Speaker 19: As I said, you know, we're an annual event and

1968
01:41:50,507 --> 01:41:54,467
Speaker 19: we're building a calendar of twenty plus events a year

1969
01:41:55,027 --> 01:41:59,467
Speaker 19: and growing the number of teams and rapid growth for SOLDP.

1970
01:42:00,387 --> 01:42:02,307
Speaker 19: But the America's Cups, you know, one of the oldest,

1971
01:42:02,827 --> 01:42:05,387
Speaker 19: I think the oldest sporting competition in the world, so

1972
01:42:05,787 --> 01:42:07,867
Speaker 19: there's some proscedure attached to that for sure.

1973
01:42:09,027 --> 01:42:11,427
Speaker 2: Well, Sir Russell, all the best for LA this weekend

1974
01:42:11,507 --> 01:42:13,747
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. I'll keep an eye out for my

1975
01:42:13,787 --> 01:42:16,867
Speaker 2: own vite to Santra Pe in September. Thanks so much

Speaker 2: Thanks to Russell. Sir Russell Coots their CEO of sale

1978
01:42:22,667 --> 01:42:25,347
Speaker 2: GP out of Los Angeles, where the next event gets

1979
01:42:25,387 --> 01:42:28,867
Speaker 2: underway around ten o'clock tomorrow morning, New Zealand time. So

1980
01:42:28,907 --> 01:42:31,787
Speaker 2: I look forward to seeing the Black Foils bounce back

1981
01:42:31,827 --> 01:42:35,347
Speaker 2: from a couple of disappointing regattas in Auckland and then

1982
01:42:35,427 --> 01:42:39,507
Speaker 2: in Sydney, San Francisco next weekend. Really interesting to hear

1983
01:42:39,587 --> 01:42:42,507
Speaker 2: that that. I remember when Sir Russell joined us when

1984
01:42:42,507 --> 01:42:45,347
Speaker 2: we broadcast live from sale GP back in January, and

1985
01:42:45,347 --> 01:42:47,347
Speaker 2: he said, look, you know, this is a one year

1986
01:42:47,507 --> 01:42:50,627
Speaker 2: thing for Auckland at the moment, but we're keen to extend.

1987
01:42:50,707 --> 01:42:54,627
Speaker 2: We're keen to make this a multi year proposition. And

1988
01:42:54,707 --> 01:42:57,827
Speaker 2: he talked about five years when we chatted in January,

1989
01:42:58,507 --> 01:43:01,267
Speaker 2: and that probably included this year's won so he has

1990
01:43:01,387 --> 01:43:04,707
Speaker 2: reiterated that. But what did he say? Yes, so four

1991
01:43:04,787 --> 01:43:06,707
Speaker 2: years with an option for an extra two or just

1992
01:43:06,787 --> 01:43:09,507
Speaker 2: go straight to the six years, so that would be

1993
01:43:09,867 --> 01:43:13,667
Speaker 2: five more. And as I said to him, then I'm

1994
01:43:14,067 --> 01:43:17,147
Speaker 2: if I'm involved in it in terms of attracting events

1995
01:43:17,147 --> 01:43:23,227
Speaker 2: to Auckland, then happy days get amongst it. Those economic

1996
01:43:23,307 --> 01:43:25,947
Speaker 2: impact reports and we talked about this last week when

1997
01:43:25,947 --> 01:43:29,027
Speaker 2: we were talking America's Cup, the Barcelona one that showed

1998
01:43:29,067 --> 01:43:31,827
Speaker 2: it was at one point eight billion dollars of economic impact.

1999
01:43:32,267 --> 01:43:33,987
Speaker 2: I mean, you always take them with a bit of

2000
01:43:34,027 --> 01:43:39,107
Speaker 2: a grain of salt because they're they're commissioned by, you know,

2001
01:43:39,267 --> 01:43:41,507
Speaker 2: the organizers of the event to look at to say, hey,

2002
01:43:41,547 --> 01:43:43,587
Speaker 2: look how much money came into the You know, it

2003
01:43:43,667 --> 01:43:45,707
Speaker 2: came into the economy from our event being here. But

2004
01:43:45,907 --> 01:43:50,627
Speaker 2: even so, was it sixty sixty eight? Did sir us

2005
01:43:50,627 --> 01:43:52,867
Speaker 2: will say there's sixty eight million dollars worth of economic

2006
01:43:52,947 --> 01:43:56,027
Speaker 2: impact into Auckland. Even if it's only half of that,

2007
01:43:56,707 --> 01:43:58,507
Speaker 2: What did it cost the Auckland rate pars a million?

2008
01:43:59,867 --> 01:44:04,467
Speaker 2: You'd bite their hand off for it, wouldn't you? Oh,

2009
01:44:04,507 --> 01:44:06,707
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty pinety Systeve, we get

2010
01:44:06,747 --> 01:44:09,027
Speaker 2: to host the America's Cup in Auckland, sal GP will

2011
01:44:09,067 --> 01:44:10,747
Speaker 2: be on around about the same time. How good would

2012
01:44:10,747 --> 01:44:14,187
Speaker 2: that be? How good would it be? Indeed, look, I

2013
01:44:14,187 --> 01:44:16,347
Speaker 2: don't want to relitigate everything we talked about last week

2014
01:44:16,387 --> 01:44:18,147
Speaker 2: with the America's Cup in terms of bed tax and

2015
01:44:18,147 --> 01:44:22,547
Speaker 2: all those sorts of things. But surely surely they should

2016
01:44:22,587 --> 01:44:25,947
Speaker 2: sign off on this and have sale GP as an

2017
01:44:26,107 --> 01:44:29,707
Speaker 2: annual international event in Auckland and if it can be

2018
01:44:29,747 --> 01:44:31,267
Speaker 2: around it but at the same time every year. Great

2019
01:44:31,307 --> 01:44:34,267
Speaker 2: around that mid January time, I know, the calen moves

2020
01:44:34,307 --> 01:44:36,987
Speaker 2: and they're talking about way way more events. You know,

2021
01:44:37,067 --> 01:44:39,387
Speaker 2: there'll be twenty you know by the time they get

2022
01:44:39,387 --> 01:44:41,067
Speaker 2: to where they want to be. So might I'll be

2023
01:44:41,147 --> 01:44:43,307
Speaker 2: that we always get January, but certainly it'll be in

2024
01:44:43,347 --> 01:44:45,947
Speaker 2: the summer months. But if it's there every year in

2025
01:44:45,987 --> 01:44:54,507
Speaker 2: the calendar, how good text thru here. In the early nineties,

2026
01:44:54,547 --> 01:44:57,627
Speaker 2: the Victorian government was nearly broke the new stay Governor

2027
01:44:59,227 --> 01:45:02,267
Speaker 2: Jeff Kennett, the Victoria Premiere rather said a target of

2028
01:45:02,307 --> 01:45:06,587
Speaker 2: an international or national event every month they achieved and

2029
01:45:06,707 --> 01:45:09,707
Speaker 2: generated large foreign investment and tourism dollars Tennis Grand Prix,

2030
01:45:10,907 --> 01:45:14,387
Speaker 2: Ozierol's Grand Final, Boxing daytest, et cetera. Yeah, I know

2031
01:45:14,467 --> 01:45:16,667
Speaker 2: that there's a lot of other things to spend rate

2032
01:45:16,747 --> 01:45:19,307
Speaker 2: payer money on, but it feels like a million dollars

2033
01:45:20,027 --> 01:45:24,987
Speaker 2: for an estimated economic impact of sixty eight stacks up

2034
01:45:25,027 --> 01:45:27,307
Speaker 2: pretty well. Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty.

2035
01:45:27,307 --> 01:45:28,747
Speaker 2: If you've got a view, particular if you are in

2036
01:45:28,747 --> 01:45:32,507
Speaker 2: the Auckland region, sal GP long term in Auckland seems

2037
01:45:32,547 --> 01:45:34,507
Speaker 2: like a no brainer to me. Two twenty eight back

2038
01:45:34,507 --> 01:45:37,467
Speaker 2: in a moment on NEWSTALKSB the biggest.

01:46:35,267 --> 01:46:37,787
Speaker 2: double headed days of cricket coming up in christ Church,

2057
01:46:37,867 --> 01:46:43,107
Speaker 2: then Dunedin, Auckland, Mount Monganui and Wellington. Afresh and exciting

2058
01:46:43,187 --> 01:46:45,387
Speaker 2: looking Black Cap squad has been named for this one,

2059
01:46:45,467 --> 01:46:48,507
Speaker 2: including Canterbury wicket keeper batsman Mitchey.

2060
01:46:49,827 --> 01:46:53,467
Speaker 14: It's really high, and it's long enough as well, comfortably

2061
01:46:53,587 --> 01:46:59,867
Speaker 14: long enough. That's not fun enough, it's not anywhere now

2062
01:47:00,507 --> 01:47:01,067
Speaker 14: fun enough.

2063
01:47:01,187 --> 01:47:03,547
Speaker 2: Now, that's Matchey belting a white ball around the place.

2064
01:47:03,587 --> 01:47:05,307
Speaker 2: He joins us down much. You got your first taste

2065
01:47:05,347 --> 01:47:07,747
Speaker 2: of the black cap and white ball matches against Sri

2066
01:47:07,867 --> 01:47:10,707
Speaker 2: Lanka in Sri Lanka and then back home against the

2067
01:47:10,747 --> 01:47:13,067
Speaker 2: same old position late last year and into January. How

2068
01:47:13,147 --> 01:47:16,547
Speaker 2: much did wearing the black cap whet your appetite for

2069
01:47:16,667 --> 01:47:18,227
Speaker 2: more international cricket.

2070
01:47:19,107 --> 01:47:19,307
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2071
01:47:19,387 --> 01:47:19,987
Speaker 2: Thanks having me on.

2072
01:47:20,187 --> 01:47:22,547
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, It's one of those things you get a

2073
01:47:22,587 --> 01:47:24,787
Speaker 5: taste for it and it's pretty awesome. It's everything you

2074
01:47:24,867 --> 01:47:27,387
Speaker 5: sort of dream of, and then when you finish up

2075
01:47:27,387 --> 01:47:28,827
Speaker 5: the series, that's all you want to do is get

2076
01:47:28,867 --> 01:47:31,307
Speaker 5: back in the environment. So it's awesome to to be

2077
01:47:31,427 --> 01:47:33,507
Speaker 5: back in and have some some T twenty CRECKT coming up.

2078
01:47:33,707 --> 01:47:35,267
Speaker 2: How happy were you with the way you played in

2079
01:47:35,307 --> 01:47:37,907
Speaker 2: those games away in Sri Lanka and then back home.

2080
01:47:38,747 --> 01:47:42,107
Speaker 5: Yeah, that pretty contrasting series. The games in Tri Lanka

2081
01:47:42,147 --> 01:47:44,707
Speaker 5: are pretty pretty low scoring. Key thing was I was

2082
01:47:44,707 --> 01:47:47,107
Speaker 5: pretty involved up to the stunts there, which was good,

2083
01:47:47,147 --> 01:47:49,067
Speaker 5: and I was really happy with that. With the bat

2084
01:47:49,187 --> 01:47:51,227
Speaker 5: was pretty tough work, but I don't think anyone found

2085
01:47:51,227 --> 01:47:53,067
Speaker 5: it too easy over there. And then you're nice to

2086
01:47:53,107 --> 01:47:56,147
Speaker 5: contribute back home against the against Sri Lanka back in

2087
01:47:56,307 --> 01:47:58,547
Speaker 5: New Zealand. So no, I was over all pretty happy

2088
01:47:58,667 --> 01:47:59,747
Speaker 5: for our first couple of series.

2089
01:47:59,867 --> 01:48:00,067
Speaker 17: Yeah.

2090
01:48:00,067 --> 01:48:02,507
Speaker 2: You look at the game in Mount Monganui, forty one

2091
01:48:02,627 --> 01:48:05,467
Speaker 2: not out off nineteen balls. How much did you enjoy

2092
01:48:05,947 --> 01:48:06,707
Speaker 2: enjoy that knock?

2093
01:48:07,627 --> 01:48:09,907
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's pretty enjoyable in T twenties and you

2094
01:48:10,307 --> 01:48:12,507
Speaker 5: get a couple out of the middle and I was like,

2095
01:48:12,547 --> 01:48:14,667
Speaker 5: I say, really nice to contribute to a good one

2096
01:48:14,747 --> 01:48:17,027
Speaker 5: that day, and yeah, it's sort of always nice to

2097
01:48:17,707 --> 01:48:18,787
Speaker 5: to sort of show you can do it on the

2098
01:48:18,867 --> 01:48:19,707
Speaker 5: international stage.

2099
01:48:20,107 --> 01:48:23,627
Speaker 2: Have you developed a particular approach to batting in T

2100
01:48:23,787 --> 01:48:24,427
Speaker 2: twenty cricket?

2101
01:48:26,147 --> 01:48:28,107
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess the thing with T twenty cricket and

2102
01:48:28,267 --> 01:48:31,547
Speaker 5: especially batting in the middle order have to be quite adaptable,

2103
01:48:31,907 --> 01:48:35,267
Speaker 5: can be quite Yeah, it's probably not one blanket recipe

2104
01:48:35,307 --> 01:48:36,987
Speaker 5: that will work all the time. So it's trying to

2105
01:48:37,027 --> 01:48:39,947
Speaker 5: adjust to the situation and the conditions and managed to

2106
01:48:39,987 --> 01:48:42,787
Speaker 5: adapt as well as I can to get a performance

2107
01:48:42,827 --> 01:48:43,627
Speaker 5: on the board to the team.

2108
01:48:43,907 --> 01:48:46,067
Speaker 2: Because I guess that you're sitting there waiting to come in,

2109
01:48:46,187 --> 01:48:48,387
Speaker 2: and you know, when you're panned out, you think, okay,

2110
01:48:48,467 --> 01:48:50,027
Speaker 2: there might be able to eight overs to go, but

2111
01:48:50,107 --> 01:48:51,467
Speaker 2: then you might be sitting there and all of a

2112
01:48:51,507 --> 01:48:53,427
Speaker 2: sudden there's only three overs to go. So as your

2113
01:48:53,467 --> 01:48:56,107
Speaker 2: mindset constantly changing as you're sitting there waiting for your turn.

2114
01:48:56,987 --> 01:48:59,907
Speaker 5: Yeah, I try not to be use up too much

2115
01:49:00,027 --> 01:49:03,147
Speaker 5: energy waiting to bat, but it's definitely changes pretty quickly,

2116
01:49:03,267 --> 01:49:05,507
Speaker 5: and often you don't have all that much time when

2117
01:49:05,507 --> 01:49:06,027
Speaker 5: you get out there.

2118
01:49:06,507 --> 01:49:08,587
Speaker 7: You know, see a few balls and then have a crack.

2119
01:49:08,627 --> 01:49:11,507
Speaker 5: And sometimes you can give yourself slightly more time, like

2120
01:49:11,547 --> 01:49:13,827
Speaker 5: you say, if you've got eight or nine overs, but yeah,

2121
01:49:13,947 --> 01:49:16,507
Speaker 5: it can be quite few few sometimes, so you come

2122
01:49:16,547 --> 01:49:19,427
Speaker 5: in and come pretty hard and hope that it's your day.

2123
01:49:19,787 --> 01:49:22,467
Speaker 2: What about wicket keeping in T twenty cricket? Much because

2124
01:49:22,667 --> 01:49:24,347
Speaker 2: you know, off the one hundred and twenty balls to

2125
01:49:24,387 --> 01:49:26,627
Speaker 2: get bold, you know only three or four might come

2126
01:49:26,667 --> 01:49:29,507
Speaker 2: through to you, right, So what's the How different is

2127
01:49:30,067 --> 01:49:33,067
Speaker 2: wicket keeping in T twenty even compared to fifty over cricket.

2128
01:49:34,147 --> 01:49:36,627
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely a little bit different. I found I

2129
01:49:36,667 --> 01:49:38,867
Speaker 5: had a pretty interesting start to it in Sri Lanka,

2130
01:49:39,347 --> 01:49:41,147
Speaker 5: where I think the amount of balls I caught up

2131
01:49:41,147 --> 01:49:44,107
Speaker 5: to the stump sort of been ridiculously high with the

2132
01:49:44,147 --> 01:49:45,947
Speaker 5: amount of turn there was, so there was probably a

2133
01:49:45,987 --> 01:49:48,507
Speaker 5: bit of a false introduction to T twenty creet.

2134
01:49:49,027 --> 01:49:49,227
Speaker 11: Yeah.

2135
01:49:49,267 --> 01:49:52,227
Speaker 5: Back in New Zealand it was definitely less balls come through,

2136
01:49:52,307 --> 01:49:53,827
Speaker 5: but I think the ones that do come through are

2137
01:49:53,827 --> 01:49:57,107
Speaker 5: often chances or the batsman's done something pretty funky in

2138
01:49:57,147 --> 01:49:58,947
Speaker 5: front of you, so the takes in never that easy.

2139
01:49:59,907 --> 01:50:01,867
Speaker 5: But yeah, like you say, it's often not that many,

2140
01:50:01,907 --> 01:50:03,787
Speaker 5: but when they do come through, it's pretty crucial.

2141
01:50:04,187 --> 01:50:07,747
Speaker 2: And what about the connection with the captain and the

2142
01:50:07,787 --> 01:50:10,547
Speaker 2: bowlers as well? You see a lot from your vantage

2143
01:50:10,627 --> 01:50:12,867
Speaker 2: point behind the stump, So do you feel confident and

2144
01:50:13,147 --> 01:50:15,067
Speaker 2: even in a black CAP's environment which is took quite

2145
01:50:15,107 --> 01:50:17,867
Speaker 2: new to you, to pass on that information to people

2146
01:50:17,907 --> 01:50:18,547
Speaker 2: who might need it.

2147
01:50:19,547 --> 01:50:21,627
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's the great thing about the environment

2148
01:50:21,947 --> 01:50:24,507
Speaker 5: is that there's a lot of experience guys, but they

2149
01:50:24,547 --> 01:50:27,107
Speaker 5: sort of welcome you in and it's pretty relaxed environment

2150
01:50:27,147 --> 01:50:29,347
Speaker 5: and everyone gets around you and gets on really well.

2151
01:50:29,427 --> 01:50:32,587
Speaker 5: So feel pretty comfortable from the first game to have

2152
01:50:32,707 --> 01:50:34,667
Speaker 5: you say if you see something and they take that

2153
01:50:34,747 --> 01:50:36,627
Speaker 5: on as well. Because I guess we've all played a

2154
01:50:36,627 --> 01:50:38,507
Speaker 5: lot of cricket. They've played a lot more than me

2155
01:50:38,587 --> 01:50:41,467
Speaker 5: at the international level, but the cricket is still the same.

2156
01:50:41,827 --> 01:50:43,907
Speaker 2: Your most recent cricket's been red Bull stuff, hasn't it.

2157
01:50:43,947 --> 01:50:46,427
Speaker 2: The Canterbury had a Plunket shell game earlier in the

2158
01:50:46,507 --> 01:50:49,187
Speaker 2: month before that fifty over cricket, so it's been what's

2159
01:50:49,227 --> 01:50:51,827
Speaker 2: six weeks or so since the Super Smash finished. Do

2160
01:50:51,907 --> 01:50:54,947
Speaker 2: you find the adjustment relatively easy to make though, between

2161
01:50:55,107 --> 01:50:57,667
Speaker 2: the formats and between the color of the cricket ball.

2162
01:50:58,827 --> 01:51:00,947
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really like the change in format. I think

2163
01:51:00,987 --> 01:51:03,987
Speaker 5: it keeps it all pretty fresh, especially this timeless season

2164
01:51:04,067 --> 01:51:06,067
Speaker 5: where sort of at the back end it's quite nice

2165
01:51:06,107 --> 01:51:08,387
Speaker 5: to sort of switch it up a little bit. I know,

2166
01:51:08,827 --> 01:51:11,467
Speaker 5: the first red Bull game back after a big diet

2167
01:51:11,507 --> 01:51:13,987
Speaker 5: of white ball cricket was I don't know, my first

2168
01:51:14,107 --> 01:51:16,187
Speaker 5: net scision back. It was actually quite nice to defend

2169
01:51:16,187 --> 01:51:19,267
Speaker 5: a few and leave a few. So I quite enjoyed

2170
01:51:19,307 --> 01:51:22,227
Speaker 5: the change up and playing slightly different shots. And I

2171
01:51:22,267 --> 01:51:24,867
Speaker 5: guess all you know, it's still cricket, still keeping, still betting,

2172
01:51:24,947 --> 01:51:26,267
Speaker 5: So yeah, now I do enjoy it.

2173
01:51:26,347 --> 01:51:27,827
Speaker 2: Yeah, when was the last time you let a ball

2174
01:51:27,907 --> 01:51:29,747
Speaker 2: go through to the keeper as a white ball batter.

2175
01:51:32,507 --> 01:51:34,587
Speaker 9: None so intentionally.

2176
01:51:35,467 --> 01:51:37,467
Speaker 2: Love it in first chance to play for New Zealand,

2177
01:51:37,507 --> 01:51:39,827
Speaker 2: I think in your hometown tomorrow. How special is that

2178
01:51:39,907 --> 01:51:40,187
Speaker 2: going to be?

2179
01:51:40,947 --> 01:51:41,187
Speaker 18: Yeah?

2180
01:51:41,227 --> 01:51:44,747
Speaker 5: And that's very exciting. When I saw the schedule to

2181
01:51:44,867 --> 01:51:46,747
Speaker 5: have a game of Haggler, I was pretty excited. It's

2182
01:51:46,907 --> 01:51:49,747
Speaker 5: been a dream to groups and you're doing it at

2183
01:51:49,787 --> 01:51:51,467
Speaker 5: home in front of friends and family.

2184
01:51:51,267 --> 01:51:52,627
Speaker 6: So it's going to be pretty exciting.

2185
01:51:52,867 --> 01:51:54,787
Speaker 2: And really unfortunately it sounds like it's going to be

2186
01:51:54,787 --> 01:51:56,987
Speaker 2: close to a sellout as well. I think as we

2187
01:51:57,067 --> 01:52:00,187
Speaker 2: talked today less than five hundred tickets available, be over

2188
01:52:00,267 --> 01:52:03,147
Speaker 2: eight thousand there. Would that be the biggest Hagglely crowd

2189
01:52:03,307 --> 01:52:04,147
Speaker 2: you've played in front of?

2190
01:52:05,187 --> 01:52:05,387
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2191
01:52:05,547 --> 01:52:08,187
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely the bigges Taglar crowd I've played in front of.

2192
01:52:08,267 --> 01:52:11,027
Speaker 5: I'm not too sure what we get for sub smash games,

2193
01:52:11,107 --> 01:52:13,707
Speaker 5: but it wouldn't be anything close to that, I don't imagine.

2194
01:52:13,787 --> 01:52:15,667
Speaker 5: So that's gonna be a pretty cool occasion.

2195
01:52:15,867 --> 01:52:18,667
Speaker 2: Must be exciting a start of a series, fresh looking team,

2196
01:52:18,747 --> 01:52:21,947
Speaker 2: a lot of new faces and new Wish faces, including you, Sarah.

2197
01:52:21,987 --> 01:52:23,547
Speaker 2: Do you get a sense of excitement around the group.

2198
01:52:24,507 --> 01:52:25,187
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely.

2199
01:52:25,947 --> 01:52:28,667
Speaker 5: I think the group's very excited to sort of join

2200
01:52:28,787 --> 01:52:31,547
Speaker 5: up a few new guys who I haven't spent all

2201
01:52:31,587 --> 01:52:33,187
Speaker 5: the time with as well, so that it was exciting

2202
01:52:33,267 --> 01:52:36,307
Speaker 5: to get to know them and just get around them

2203
01:52:36,307 --> 01:52:37,947
Speaker 5: a bit, which is cool and I think, yeah, definitely

2204
01:52:37,987 --> 01:52:39,947
Speaker 5: can feel the excitement in the group for a five

2205
01:52:40,027 --> 01:52:43,387
Speaker 5: match two twenty series, which is yeah, slightly more than.

2206
01:52:43,347 --> 01:52:45,907
Speaker 2: Usual, absolutely and a bit of a traveling roadshow as

2207
01:52:45,947 --> 01:52:48,387

Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll definitely be watching. I tune into to most games,

2213
01:53:00,747 --> 01:53:02,827
Speaker 5: so yeah, I'll definitely be keeping an eye.

2214
01:53:02,707 --> 01:53:03,027
Speaker 11: On that one.

2215
01:53:03,147 --> 01:53:06,067

01:53:07,987 --> 01:53:09,347
Speaker 2: appreciate you taking the time for a chat.

2218
01:53:09,507 --> 01:53:10,307
Speaker 5: Thank you appreciate it.

2219
01:53:10,427 --> 01:53:13,467
Speaker 2: No, thank you, Mitch Mitchey. We could keeper batsman with

2220
01:53:13,587 --> 01:53:15,907
Speaker 2: Canterbury and with the Black Caps for these upcoming T

2221
01:53:16,107 --> 01:53:19,427
Speaker 2: twenty matches. So as I say, they're all double headers

2222
01:53:19,947 --> 01:53:22,267
Speaker 2: and the first two of them are very family friendly

2223
01:53:22,347 --> 01:53:25,307
Speaker 2: in terms of the times. Ten to fifteen tomorrow at

2224
01:53:25,347 --> 01:53:28,747
Speaker 2: Hagley Oval is the women's game. That's New Zealand against

2225
01:53:29,147 --> 01:53:32,987
Speaker 2: Sri Lanka, followed by the men's game at two fifteen.

2226
01:53:33,187 --> 01:53:35,307
Speaker 2: I think it is ten fifteen and two fifteen. Yeah,

2227
01:53:35,307 --> 01:53:37,667
Speaker 2: that sounds right. Yeah, two fifteen is the men's game.

2228
01:53:37,787 --> 01:53:40,827
Speaker 2: So yeah, big crowd as I expected at Hagley tomorrow.

2229
01:53:40,947 --> 01:53:42,947
Speaker 2: Last I heard there are only a few hundred tickets left.

2230
01:53:43,027 --> 01:53:45,427
Speaker 2: So looking forward to seeing both our white fans and

2231
01:53:45,467 --> 01:53:48,027
Speaker 2: Black Caps in action over the next couple of weeks

2232
01:53:48,467 --> 01:53:51,347
Speaker 2: in five double headers. All five for the men are

2233
01:53:51,347 --> 01:53:54,427
Speaker 2: against Pakistan, the next two for the women are against

2234
01:53:54,427 --> 01:53:57,827
Speaker 2: Sri Lanka and then the following three against Australia. It's

2235
01:53:57,867 --> 01:53:59,547
Speaker 2: going to be very exciting to see New Zealand against

2236
01:53:59,587 --> 01:54:03,067
Speaker 2: Australia in T twenty women's cricket in the next couple

2237
01:54:03,107 --> 01:54:06,107
Speaker 2: of weeks. Twenty one away from three another try to

2238
01:54:06,147 --> 01:54:09,507
Speaker 2: the lose and Nelson they lead to fourteen nil with

2239
01:54:09,707 --> 01:54:12,747
Speaker 2: seven minutes to go in the first half. When we

2240
01:54:12,907 --> 01:54:15,307
Speaker 2: come back, we go stateside and catch up with one

2241

Speaker 20: not done yet, so I just keep running the waves.

2285
01:56:36,107 --> 01:56:37,547
Speaker 2: I want to talk about what to head for you

2286
01:56:37,627 --> 01:56:39,667
Speaker 2: in the next little while. But as far as winning

2287
01:56:39,747 --> 01:56:42,787
Speaker 2: the Big West Player of the Year award, I know

2288
01:56:42,907 --> 01:56:46,307
Speaker 2: it's a team game, but as an individual accolte, how

2289
01:56:46,347 --> 01:56:47,387
Speaker 2: big a thrill was that for you?

2290
01:56:48,747 --> 01:56:51,627
Speaker 20: It's been awesome man, to win an award like that.

2291
01:56:51,787 --> 01:56:53,187
Speaker 20: I mean, like you said, I wouldn't have got there

2292
01:56:53,227 --> 01:56:57,547
Speaker 20: without my teammates. But no, I've put in, I worked,

2293
01:56:58,187 --> 01:57:00,187
Speaker 20: I worked hard for this, man, I worked my whole

2294
01:57:00,227 --> 01:57:04,147
Speaker 20: life for this. So I'm grateful now that I'm getting

2295
01:57:04,187 --> 01:57:06,787
Speaker 20: the fruits of all my work. And yeah, it's amazing.

2296
01:57:06,867 --> 01:57:06,987
Speaker 11: Man.

2297
01:57:08,187 --> 01:57:09,467
Speaker 20: Couldn't have scripted it any better.

2298
01:57:10,067 --> 01:57:11,787
Speaker 2: All right, Well, as you say, you're not done yet.

2299
01:57:11,907 --> 01:57:14,067
Speaker 2: Next up is March Madness. Now, a lot of people

2300
01:57:14,147 --> 01:57:16,907
Speaker 2: back here know about that, a single elimination tournament to

2301
01:57:16,987 --> 01:57:20,347
Speaker 2: find the men's college basketball national champion. One of the

2302
01:57:20,387 --> 01:57:23,467
Speaker 2: biggest annual sporting events in the United States. So what

2303
01:57:23,627 --> 01:57:26,547
Speaker 2: do you have to do to make it to March Madness?

2304
01:57:26,587 --> 01:57:27,107
Speaker 2: For starters?

2305
01:57:28,107 --> 01:57:32,027
Speaker 20: Right, So, I'm in Vegas right now. We're playing our

2306
01:57:32,107 --> 01:57:35,147
Speaker 20: conference tournament. So if we win our conference tournament, we

2307
01:57:35,267 --> 01:57:40,467
Speaker 20: get an automatic bid, so we come in as the

2308
01:57:40,507 --> 01:57:42,947
Speaker 20: one seed, so we get a buyer straight to the semifinal.

2309
01:57:43,467 --> 01:57:45,907
Speaker 20: So yeah, we play in our semi final game tomorrow

2310
01:57:46,307 --> 01:57:48,307
Speaker 20: and if we win that, we go to the championship game,

2311
01:57:48,347 --> 01:57:50,787
Speaker 20: and if we win the championship game, we get automatic

2312
01:57:50,827 --> 01:57:53,707
Speaker 20: bid to March Madness. But we've also had a really

2313
01:57:53,707 --> 01:57:56,147
Speaker 20: good year, like you said, with twenty eight and four,

2314
01:57:56,707 --> 01:57:59,827
Speaker 20: so it's looking like when or last in our tournament,

2315
01:57:59,907 --> 01:58:03,307
Speaker 20: we should still have a shot at getting to March Madness.

2316
01:58:03,347 --> 01:58:06,067
Speaker 20: It just depends on They have a thing called Selection Sunday,

2317
01:58:07,027 --> 01:58:09,347
Speaker 20: where like the nc DOWA committee vote on who they

2318
01:58:09,387 --> 01:58:12,227
Speaker 20: think should go to the tournament. So hopefully we'll get

2319
01:58:12,267 --> 01:58:14,667
Speaker 20: some votes for an at large bid. But yeah, if

2320
01:58:14,747 --> 01:58:18,267
Speaker 20: we win this tournament in Vegas, then we'll be playing there.

2321
01:58:19,147 --> 01:58:22,827
Speaker 2: Outstanding on As I said, it's become this massive event.

2322
01:58:23,107 --> 01:58:25,507
Speaker 2: How big a deal would it be for you see

2323
01:58:25,627 --> 01:58:27,307
Speaker 2: San Diego to go to March Madness.

2324
01:58:28,707 --> 01:58:31,907
Speaker 20: It would be a huge, man. I mean even winning

2325
01:58:31,947 --> 01:58:36,107
Speaker 20: the Big West Championship that was amazing, like we saw,

2326
01:58:36,587 --> 01:58:39,387
Speaker 20: you know, heaps and news articles. We're on the news,

2327
01:58:39,867 --> 01:58:42,987
Speaker 20: San Diego News, National news, they had us in the

2328
01:58:43,027 --> 01:58:46,027
Speaker 20: New York Times. So and it would be the first

2329
01:58:46,107 --> 01:58:48,507
Speaker 20: time for the school to go to March Madness. So

2330
01:58:49,027 --> 01:58:51,347
Speaker 20: now if we were to do that in our first year, Algy,

2331
01:58:51,387 --> 01:58:52,747
Speaker 20: well it would be insane.

2332
01:58:52,987 --> 01:58:54,707
Speaker 2: Well, can't wait to see how you go on your

2333
01:58:54,827 --> 01:58:56,827
Speaker 2: on your quest for that. Take us back here, well,

2334
01:58:56,827 --> 01:58:59,667
Speaker 2: tell us about your basketball journey. Where'd it begin and

2335
01:59:00,027 --> 01:59:02,147
Speaker 2: how has it taken you Stateside?

2336
01:59:03,387 --> 01:59:03,507
Speaker 11: Oh?

2337
01:59:03,587 --> 01:59:07,227
Speaker 20: Yes, So I started playing in Wellington with the late

2338
01:59:07,347 --> 01:59:10,747
Speaker 20: Kenny McFadden. He's been my coach up until he sadly

2339
01:59:10,787 --> 01:59:14,187
Speaker 20: passed away. So yeah, all credit to him. He got me.

2340
01:59:14,827 --> 01:59:17,307
Speaker 20: He trained me every day for six years in the

2341
01:59:17,387 --> 01:59:22,987
Speaker 20: morning morning trainings up there at ASB and Wellington. And yeah,

2342
01:59:23,507 --> 01:59:25,827
Speaker 20: because of him, I was fortunate enough to get a

2343
01:59:26,307 --> 01:59:30,267
Speaker 20: scholarship at Hawaii he Loo, which was a Division two school,

2344
01:59:30,867 --> 01:59:33,227
Speaker 20: and then yeah, I did three years there and then

2345
01:59:33,267 --> 01:59:36,027
Speaker 20: I transferred. I moved schools to where I'm at now

2346
01:59:36,427 --> 01:59:40,067
Speaker 20: you see San Diego, which is Division one. And yeah,

2347
01:59:40,427 --> 01:59:43,267
Speaker 20: I mean all credit to Kenny mack. I wouldn't be

2348
01:59:43,307 --> 01:59:47,427
Speaker 20: here without him, So yeah, man, he's I wouldn't be

2349
01:59:47,467 --> 01:59:48,267
Speaker 20: here without him for sure.

2350
01:59:48,427 --> 01:59:48,627
Speaker 16: Yeah.

2351
01:59:48,707 --> 01:59:52,707
Speaker 2: He's influenced plenty of people, you included, and is fondly

2352
01:59:52,827 --> 01:59:55,627
Speaker 2: remembered not only in Wellington but in New Zealand basketball

2353
01:59:55,707 --> 01:59:59,107
Speaker 2: circles as well. So the standard you're playing at it,

2354
02:00:00,467 --> 02:00:02,147
Speaker 2: you know in the Big West. Can you can you

2355
02:00:02,187 --> 02:00:04,627
Speaker 2: give us some sort of comparison or maybe just just

2356
02:00:04,747 --> 02:00:06,627
Speaker 2: outline for us what the standard is like, like the

2357
02:00:07,027 --> 02:00:08,347
Speaker 2: games of basketball you're playing in.

2358
02:00:09,627 --> 02:00:12,427
Speaker 20: I mean, it's a real high level, man, it's it's

2359
02:00:12,587 --> 02:00:17,787
Speaker 20: one of the top level in American collegiate basketball. We

2360
02:00:17,907 --> 02:00:21,387
Speaker 20: have NBA guys who are projected to get drafted. In

2361
02:00:21,467 --> 02:00:24,027
Speaker 20: our league, we play against guys who are going to

2362
02:00:24,067 --> 02:00:26,627
Speaker 20: get drafted and go to the NBA. I've played it.

2363
02:00:26,707 --> 02:00:29,987
Speaker 20: Last year, I played against NBA guys. So it's the

2364
02:00:30,067 --> 02:00:30,867
Speaker 20: best of the best.

2365
02:00:30,747 --> 02:00:34,987
Speaker 2: Man outstanding, and as far as your success is concerned,

2366
02:00:35,187 --> 02:00:36,507
Speaker 2: as I said at the top of the chat, you

2367
02:00:36,627 --> 02:00:40,827
Speaker 2: let the team in scoring, rebounding, and assists. So an

2368
02:00:40,867 --> 02:00:44,267
Speaker 2: all round game obviously is what you provide for your team.

2369
02:00:44,387 --> 02:00:47,107
Speaker 2: What are your your particular strengths, all the things that

2370
02:00:47,187 --> 02:00:48,427
Speaker 2: you like to be known for.

2371
02:00:50,707 --> 02:00:52,627
Speaker 20: You know, I think I get downhill a lot, I

2372
02:00:52,747 --> 02:00:55,067
Speaker 20: get to the rim, I draw a lot of fouls,

2373
02:00:55,787 --> 02:00:58,627
Speaker 20: and I just play hard. You know, I'm fortunate enough

2374
02:00:58,667 --> 02:01:01,147
Speaker 20: to have coaches who believe in me and believe in

2375
02:01:01,227 --> 02:01:03,467
Speaker 20: what I can do, and they give me the ball.

2376
02:01:04,667 --> 02:01:07,827
Speaker 20: So yeah, I get downhill a lot. I create for

2377
02:01:07,907 --> 02:01:11,227
Speaker 20: my teammates redone the ball, and like you said, I

2378
02:01:11,347 --> 02:01:14,107
Speaker 20: do a lot of things on the court, and yeah, I.

2379
02:01:14,107 --> 02:01:15,707
Speaker 2: Think I saw a stat that you're one of the

2380
02:01:15,827 --> 02:01:19,227
Speaker 2: leading free throw Well you've been to the free throw

2381
02:01:19,307 --> 02:01:21,867
Speaker 2: line probably more than most other people, So that talks

2382
02:01:21,907 --> 02:01:24,267
Speaker 2: about you know, getting into heavy traffic Philly often. You've

2383
02:01:24,267 --> 02:01:25,267
Speaker 2: got no worries about doing that.

2384
02:01:26,907 --> 02:01:29,987
Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, I lead the country and free froze made

2385
02:01:30,067 --> 02:01:32,627
Speaker 20: and attempted. So yeah, I think I credit that to

2386
02:01:32,747 --> 02:01:35,427
Speaker 20: my rugby background. You know, I played rugby growing up,

2387
02:01:35,547 --> 02:01:38,227
Speaker 20: so you know, I'm not afraid of the contact. I

2388
02:01:38,427 --> 02:01:39,267
Speaker 20: like to get physical.

2389
02:01:39,427 --> 02:01:41,867
Speaker 2: So yeah, how many more years then do you have it?

2390
02:01:41,947 --> 02:01:42,787
Speaker 2: You see San Diego?

2391
02:01:44,067 --> 02:01:45,907
Speaker 20: So this is my last year. I'm in my last

2392
02:01:45,987 --> 02:01:50,107
Speaker 20: year at school here, and yeah, I'm not really sure

2393
02:01:50,187 --> 02:01:53,627
Speaker 20: what's going to come afterwards. I'm just kind of running

2394
02:01:53,667 --> 02:01:56,827
Speaker 20: the wave at the moment, we're having an awesome year.

2395
02:01:56,867 --> 02:01:59,187
Speaker 20: We're not done yet. And then after the season, I'm

2396
02:01:59,227 --> 02:02:02,627
Speaker 20: just going to see what happens, man, And you know,

2397
02:02:02,747 --> 02:02:06,867
Speaker 20: whatever happens will happen. God's got his plan for me. Yeah,

2398
02:02:06,867 --> 02:02:08,467
Speaker 20: I'm just enjoying every moment of it.

2399
02:02:08,947 --> 02:02:10,747
Speaker 2: Are what are some of the things that could happen?

2400
02:02:10,787 --> 02:02:13,347
Speaker 2: I mean, we talk like as the NBA A goal

2401
02:02:13,547 --> 02:02:14,027
Speaker 2: of yours.

2402
02:02:15,227 --> 02:02:17,307
Speaker 20: Yeah, for sure, I think definitely after the year that

2403
02:02:17,347 --> 02:02:20,147
Speaker 20: we've had, I've been talking to a few NBA teams,

2404
02:02:20,747 --> 02:02:23,587
Speaker 20: NBA agents, So yeah, I'm going to test the waters

2405
02:02:23,627 --> 02:02:26,187
Speaker 20: for sure and just see what happens.

2406
02:02:26,987 --> 02:02:28,587
Speaker 2: You'd have to think though, that if you go to

2407
02:02:28,667 --> 02:02:30,747
Speaker 2: March Madness, which by the sounds of things, you've got

2408
02:02:30,787 --> 02:02:32,307
Speaker 2: a great chance of doing, there will be a lot

2409
02:02:32,347 --> 02:02:34,707
Speaker 2: of eyes on you. Is that is that the case

2410
02:02:34,787 --> 02:02:37,227
Speaker 2: that that playing in March Madness might put you on

2411
02:02:37,307 --> 02:02:39,387
Speaker 2: the radar of even more teams.

2412
02:02:41,347 --> 02:02:43,387
Speaker 20: Percent I think because we're kind of a new school,

2413
02:02:43,507 --> 02:02:46,707
Speaker 20: so they're not used to having this type of success,

2414
02:02:46,827 --> 02:02:49,427
Speaker 20: So a lot of people don't really know about us.

2415
02:02:50,067 --> 02:02:52,667
Speaker 20: So I think if if we're able to go and

2416
02:02:52,787 --> 02:02:55,347
Speaker 20: play on such a huge stage, I mean, the whole

2417
02:02:55,347 --> 02:02:58,227
Speaker 20: of America will be watching. So yeah, if we can

2418
02:02:58,267 --> 02:03:01,307
Speaker 20: get and play on this stage, I mean everyone's going.

2419
02:03:01,307 --> 02:03:01,587
Speaker 16: To see it.

2420
02:03:02,107 --> 02:03:04,707
Speaker 2: And you're just one of a number of young men

2421
02:03:04,787 --> 02:03:06,707
Speaker 2: and women from New Zealand to a doer and really

2422
02:03:06,747 --> 02:03:09,267
Speaker 2: cool things in the game of basketball. I'm sure you

2423
02:03:09,427 --> 02:03:11,187
Speaker 2: keep an eye on what's happening back here. We had

2424
02:03:11,707 --> 02:03:15,107
Speaker 2: seventeen year old Jackson Ball drop forty in a national

2425
02:03:15,227 --> 02:03:17,707
Speaker 2: basketball a game the other day. You know, and it's

2426
02:03:17,787 --> 02:03:20,627
Speaker 2: just one example. You know, do you feel as though

2427
02:03:20,667 --> 02:03:22,747
Speaker 2: it's a sport that is in really good heart as

2428
02:03:22,787 --> 02:03:26,387
Speaker 2: far as the best New Zealanders playing it are concerned?

2429
02:03:27,507 --> 02:03:28,267
Speaker 20: One hundred percent?

2430
02:03:28,387 --> 02:03:28,587
Speaker 6: Yeah?

2431
02:03:28,587 --> 02:03:30,827
Speaker 20: I think you know, like you mentioned, we've got a

2432
02:03:30,867 --> 02:03:32,547
Speaker 20: lot of good young guys coming up. I know they

2433
02:03:32,587 --> 02:03:34,907
Speaker 20: did really well. I was watching the games at the

2434
