So I think this new fellas 21 00:01:09,867 --> 00:01:13,307 Speaker 3: your fella, our fella now Joe Shmid he's come in 22 00:01:13,387 --> 00:01:17,267 Speaker 3: and he's not gone. Oh, let's press the paint button. 23 00:01:17,387 --> 00:01:19,827 Speaker 3: Let's get all the guys in from overseas this, let's 24 00:01:19,867 --> 00:01:21,507 Speaker 3: do that. It's like, okay, if you want to go 25 00:01:21,507 --> 00:01:25,147 Speaker 3: and play ragul League next year, you're gone. If you 26 00:01:25,187 --> 00:01:27,427 Speaker 3: want to be overseas at the moment, no, I't pick you. 27 00:01:27,507 --> 00:01:30,627 Speaker 3: I'll just go from super rugby and back to basics approach, 28 00:01:30,907 --> 00:01:32,827 Speaker 3: I think. So it'd be interesting to see how that go. 29 00:01:32,907 --> 00:01:35,467 Speaker 3: It's not the nicest day here and it's any bit 30 00:01:35,467 --> 00:01:37,507 Speaker 3: of rain about so it might not be free flowing 31 00:01:37,907 --> 00:01:41,067 Speaker 3: running rugby, but probably not going to be that anyway. 32 00:01:41,067 --> 00:01:44,307 Speaker 3: First up with Jay, So yeah, intrigued to have a 33 00:01:44,347 --> 00:01:47,867 Speaker 3: look at it. I don't really know. I don't I 34 00:01:47,867 --> 00:01:49,507 Speaker 3: don't think there's too many people who really know what 35 00:01:49,507 --> 00:01:50,907 Speaker 3: We're going to get to the wall of it this 36 00:01:51,027 --> 00:01:52,027 Speaker 3: next six months. 37 00:01:53,107 --> 00:01:55,387 Speaker 2: What sort of cutsows you're getting because we're right in 38 00:01:55,387 --> 00:01:58,907 Speaker 2: the middle of you know, the NRL season, you know, 39 00:01:58,907 --> 00:02:02,587 Speaker 2: Australian rule still going on, other things happening, Wimbledon, and 40 00:02:02,587 --> 00:02:04,587 Speaker 2: we'll talk about that in a moment. Does does rugby 41 00:02:04,667 --> 00:02:06,987 Speaker 2: get cut through the people know that tease match on 42 00:02:07,067 --> 00:02:07,707 Speaker 2: Sydney Tonight. 43 00:02:08,867 --> 00:02:12,027 Speaker 3: Yes, it depends where you look. Looks a lot. I 44 00:02:12,027 --> 00:02:13,587 Speaker 3: don't know what it's like there in New Zealand, but 45 00:02:13,587 --> 00:02:16,387 Speaker 3: it feels like with the electronic media these days and 46 00:02:16,747 --> 00:02:20,347 Speaker 3: print media that if a certain organization has the rights 47 00:02:20,427 --> 00:02:22,947 Speaker 3: as the nine network boo here in Australia and it's 48 00:02:22,987 --> 00:02:25,667 Speaker 3: on stand so that means their papers like the Senny 49 00:02:25,707 --> 00:02:30,507 Speaker 3: Morning Herald give it heavy coverage, but if it's not, 50 00:02:31,267 --> 00:02:34,107 Speaker 3: they're like the other sides of the men. You don't 51 00:02:34,147 --> 00:02:37,307 Speaker 3: really invest heavily in it. There's an element of intrigue, 52 00:02:37,387 --> 00:02:39,867 Speaker 3: so it does depend where you look. But yeah, there 53 00:02:39,907 --> 00:02:42,307 Speaker 3: is a bit of interest in the rugby playing States. 54 00:02:42,347 --> 00:02:44,707 Speaker 3: I'd say the AFL playing States not so much, but 55 00:02:45,067 --> 00:02:46,987 Speaker 3: yeah there's a bit here, even though there is origin 56 00:02:47,027 --> 00:02:49,987 Speaker 3: and you regular RL stuff going on. 57 00:02:51,107 --> 00:02:55,227 Speaker 2: Wembledon. I mentioned that we just talked about our under 58 00:02:55,267 --> 00:02:57,987 Speaker 2: seventeen basketball team about to take on the United States. 59 00:02:58,027 --> 00:03:00,667 Speaker 2: In terms of a David versk Eliath, one of your 60 00:03:00,707 --> 00:03:04,827 Speaker 2: young Australians taking on Novak Djokovic, has he got a 61 00:03:04,947 --> 00:03:06,147 Speaker 2: David's chance against. 62 00:03:08,427 --> 00:03:11,947 Speaker 3: I'd put Alexi Popperin's chances a little bit better than 63 00:03:12,827 --> 00:03:16,027 Speaker 3: David's chances against Golif but I'm not not a huge 64 00:03:16,027 --> 00:03:19,387 Speaker 3: amount of Obviously it's Djokovic and look at the moment 65 00:03:19,427 --> 00:03:22,707 Speaker 3: he doesn't to be showing the full effects of a 66 00:03:22,787 --> 00:03:26,227 Speaker 3: knee surgery, just one. But look he doesn't have that 67 00:03:26,387 --> 00:03:28,947 Speaker 3: base to lean on. I don't think Djokovic so if 68 00:03:29,027 --> 00:03:31,067 Speaker 3: Poperin gets him into a fight, he might be a chance. 69 00:03:31,107 --> 00:03:33,227 Speaker 3: He so not ruling him out, but he's going to 70 00:03:33,227 --> 00:03:34,947 Speaker 3: have to play near his best, which he has done 71 00:03:35,107 --> 00:03:39,027 Speaker 3: Alexi his best too. Pretty switched on performance so far. 72 00:03:39,107 --> 00:03:42,627 Speaker 3: But it's as Djokovic senate call Wimbledon. Not many people 73 00:03:42,707 --> 00:03:43,107 Speaker 3: beating there. 74 00:03:43,227 --> 00:03:48,787 Speaker 2: So what's something that kariosis later situation. 75 00:03:50,187 --> 00:03:52,427 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. He's just lurking around 76 00:03:52,507 --> 00:03:56,107 Speaker 3: and he's had issues which can be a career and 77 00:03:56,707 --> 00:03:59,587 Speaker 3: remember one Martine del Potro, he started to have risk 78 00:03:59,627 --> 00:04:03,387 Speaker 3: injuries and he was never a higher Not the case Nick, 79 00:04:03,387 --> 00:04:05,307 Speaker 3: because he does brings upthing to the court. But he's 80 00:04:05,987 --> 00:04:08,467 Speaker 3: he's best friends with Jokovic now, which is just a 81 00:04:08,747 --> 00:04:10,667 Speaker 3: surreal thought. He's doing a bit of commentary there for 82 00:04:10,747 --> 00:04:15,467 Speaker 3: the BBC, so he is making his presence known wherever 83 00:04:15,587 --> 00:04:19,307 Speaker 3: he goes and his opinion. Knowing Nick, but hopefully around 84 00:04:19,347 --> 00:04:21,307 Speaker 3: the American hard court Swing, which comes up in a 85 00:04:21,347 --> 00:04:24,507 Speaker 3: month's time or so. He's back out there because tennis 86 00:04:24,547 --> 00:04:27,387 Speaker 3: does need to play like Nick Kios, and it looks 87 00:04:27,427 --> 00:04:29,867 Speaker 3: as though given how much he's hanging around the tour, 88 00:04:29,907 --> 00:04:32,627 Speaker 3: and Nick Kios needs tennis as well, so he's not 89 00:04:32,747 --> 00:04:34,907 Speaker 3: far off, but he's not quite there yet. 90 00:04:35,467 --> 00:04:35,787 Speaker 4: All right. 91 00:04:35,947 --> 00:04:39,147 Speaker 2: And to finish today, football, the A leagues during the 92 00:04:39,187 --> 00:04:42,227 Speaker 2: week have announced a cutting of their cloth. The money 93 00:04:42,267 --> 00:04:44,227 Speaker 2: that they give to the A League clubs is going 94 00:04:44,307 --> 00:04:48,187 Speaker 2: to be greatly diminished next season. What are the repercussions 95 00:04:48,227 --> 00:04:48,347 Speaker 2: of this? 96 00:04:51,227 --> 00:04:54,587 Speaker 3: I think the clubs knew bet down that this was coming, 97 00:04:54,747 --> 00:05:00,307 Speaker 3: so that they're preparing budgets accordingly. Look clubs like Central Coast, 98 00:05:00,387 --> 00:05:04,587 Speaker 3: Adelaide and probably Wellington in with this. Now they can 99 00:05:04,707 --> 00:05:07,227 Speaker 3: ride this out because they seen it and they've got 100 00:05:07,267 --> 00:05:10,507 Speaker 3: some young players coming through. And Wellington obviously have the 101 00:05:10,587 --> 00:05:12,547 Speaker 3: reserves to play in your national league, and they've got 102 00:05:12,587 --> 00:05:14,907 Speaker 3: the academy and things like that. So it's not a 103 00:05:15,027 --> 00:05:21,787 Speaker 3: complete like doomsday apocalypse, but it's not great and clubs 104 00:05:22,027 --> 00:05:27,867 Speaker 3: really needed upturning those centralized funding distributions to keep Bible 105 00:05:28,027 --> 00:05:29,867 Speaker 3: in the long term. At the moment, it's not going 106 00:05:29,947 --> 00:05:31,547 Speaker 3: to happen. Next two years it's not going to happen. 107 00:05:31,627 --> 00:05:33,707 Speaker 3: But yeah, I think they're going to have to lean 108 00:05:33,787 --> 00:05:37,067 Speaker 3: heavily into developing players for transfer markets and that's the 109 00:05:37,187 --> 00:05:39,667 Speaker 3: only way out of it. But the football overall, you 110 00:05:39,787 --> 00:05:43,107 Speaker 3: might not get your quality of import in as you 111 00:05:43,147 --> 00:05:45,547 Speaker 3: would and your young player might go earlier, but they're 112 00:05:45,587 --> 00:05:48,107 Speaker 3: they're the two main differences I think going forward to 113 00:05:48,187 --> 00:05:48,547 Speaker 3: the league. 114 00:05:49,107 --> 00:05:51,707 Speaker 2: All right, and did you get some golfing before the 115 00:05:51,747 --> 00:05:52,427 Speaker 2: heavens opened? 116 00:05:53,627 --> 00:05:59,187 Speaker 3: Yeah?
