00:00:06,707 --> 00:00:10,587
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine

2
00:00:10,747 --> 00:00:11,787
Speaker 1: from Newstalks EDB.

3
00:00:12,827 --> 00:00:14,547
Speaker 2: We probably need to address the Warriors.

4
00:00:14,627 --> 00:00:19,427
Speaker 3: A record breaking afternoon on the Gold Coasts Luffy cant

5
00:00:19,507 --> 00:00:24,067
Speaker 3: Perrera with four Kier and four and winding back the

6
00:00:24,147 --> 00:00:30,427
Speaker 3: clock in sublime form. The veteran coach delighted, the fans

7
00:00:30,707 --> 00:00:34,507
Speaker 3: ecstatic and the Warriors well, what do you say?

8
00:00:35,587 --> 00:00:41,587
Speaker 2: What do you say? It's a very good question, absolutely inexplicable,

9
00:00:41,707 --> 00:00:47,427
Speaker 2: almost impossible to explain. The joint biggest defeat in the

10
00:00:47,507 --> 00:00:49,787
Speaker 2: history of the club, equalling the loss of the Storm

11
00:00:49,827 --> 00:00:52,747
Speaker 2: two years ago. But that was a Storm team that

12
00:00:52,787 --> 00:00:56,427
Speaker 2: was top of the comp against a comparatively weak Warriors

13
00:00:56,547 --> 00:01:01,027
Speaker 2: side during the COVID period. Last night's defeat was to

14
00:01:01,067 --> 00:01:06,427
Speaker 2: the team at the bottom of the NRL Ladder. The

15
00:01:06,427 --> 00:01:09,107
Speaker 2: Warrior's team was pretty solid. You look through it and

16
00:01:09,147 --> 00:01:11,827
Speaker 2: yes they were missing a couple of origin and Delan

17
00:01:11,907 --> 00:01:15,347
Speaker 2: martenis a Lesniak was suspended and Rocker Berry wasn't there.

18
00:01:15,347 --> 00:01:18,467
Speaker 2: But you look down that team list. Nicol Klukstar two

19
00:01:18,467 --> 00:01:21,827
Speaker 2: of us A check back, Pompey, Montoya, Johnson for No A, Blake,

20
00:01:21,827 --> 00:01:25,507
Speaker 2: Egan Ford, Harris All there effectively the same group of

21
00:01:25,547 --> 00:01:29,147
Speaker 2: players who finished in the top four last season. Try

22
00:01:29,147 --> 00:01:32,147
Speaker 2: and make sense of that. You might not be able to,

23
00:01:32,187 --> 00:01:34,867
Speaker 2: but if you'd like to give it a crack, oh,

24
00:01:34,867 --> 00:01:37,547
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, it's not terminal. Obviously,

25
00:01:38,067 --> 00:01:41,307
Speaker 2: every game's only worth two points, but the nature of

26
00:01:41,347 --> 00:01:46,747
Speaker 2: this might leave some scars and cast doubt into the

27
00:01:46,747 --> 00:01:48,987
Speaker 2: minds of players and fans about whether this team is

28
00:01:49,107 --> 00:01:52,667
Speaker 2: actually a top eight proposition. There are eleven rounds to go,

29
00:01:52,987 --> 00:01:55,747
Speaker 2: including two buys for the Warriors, so there's four points

30
00:01:55,747 --> 00:01:58,307
Speaker 2: straight away, and there are only three points outside the

31
00:01:58,307 --> 00:02:00,627
Speaker 2: top eight. So it's certainly not the end of their

32
00:02:00,667 --> 00:02:05,907
Speaker 2: season by any stretch. But man, do they have to

33
00:02:05,907 --> 00:02:09,707
Speaker 2: make some changes quickly before the Broncos at Town on Saturday,

34
00:02:09,747 --> 00:02:13,067
Speaker 2: fresh off thereby and needing wins to make their own

35
00:02:13,107 --> 00:02:15,467
Speaker 2: push to the top eight. This is a massive test

36
00:02:16,027 --> 00:02:19,667
Speaker 2: for Andrew Webster, a massive test. Watching the Warriors last

37
00:02:19,747 --> 00:02:22,907
Speaker 2: night reminded me actually of one of the all time

38
00:02:23,427 --> 00:02:28,987
Speaker 2: great talkback calls. This was from twenty eighteen, six years ago.

39
00:02:29,627 --> 00:02:31,467
Speaker 2: The Warriors made the top eight that season, but they

40
00:02:31,627 --> 00:02:35,707
Speaker 2: lost to the Titans in around twenty fairly convincingly thirty

41
00:02:35,707 --> 00:02:38,467
Speaker 2: six points to twelve. The next day, this is six

42
00:02:38,547 --> 00:02:43,587
Speaker 2: years ago, Jared called the radio station. You just wanted

43
00:02:43,587 --> 00:02:45,787
Speaker 2: to quickly to say a few words were going to warriors.

44
00:02:46,107 --> 00:02:46,987
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've started with this.

45
00:02:47,987 --> 00:02:52,347
Speaker 2: Boom boom, boom boom.

46
00:02:53,347 --> 00:03:02,147
Speaker 3: You're playing the Titans, the Titan Titans. It was crap soft, lazy,

47
00:03:02,427 --> 00:03:03,707
Speaker 3: week heartless.

48
00:03:03,987 --> 00:03:11,267
Speaker 2: It was no mental fortitude. It was shoft boom boom boom. Awful.

49
00:03:11,787 --> 00:03:13,507
Speaker 1: Pastis thank you.

50
00:03:15,387 --> 00:03:19,227
Speaker 2: That was from six years ago and it probably still

51
00:03:19,227 --> 00:03:21,107
Speaker 2: stands up to scrutiny after last night.
