1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge, Jason Pines here weekend sports host. Hey Jason

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: good a Ryan. Now, the NFL season underway on Sunday

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Is this the Warriors yere to do with?

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Well? This is probably the twenty fifth time that question

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: has been asked at the start of an NRL season

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: involving the Warriors. Look, I think at this stage of

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: the year, I think you can be optimistic. Everybody's on

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: the same number of points for a couple more days,

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: and then you know the season is underway and who knows. Look,

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: you look at the Warriors team and you think, well,

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: is it as strong as last year? You look at

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: the players who aren't there anymore, Sean Johnson, Toho, Harris,

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: add In Vanua, Blake Jazz Tavanga, Marcelo Montoya and others,

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: and you think, well, actually that's a big chunk taken out.

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: But James Fisher, Harris coming the other way quite like

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: the look of Erin Clark, and just a few positional

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: tweaks that Andrew Webster has made. This is me trying

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: to build them up ahead of Weekend one. Ryan, as

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: you can probably tell, I think their favorites to beat

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: the Raiders I mean jefers. I'd love to be in Vegas.

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: Some of the some of the I've seen from over

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: there is quite sensational. But look, long season, is it

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: our year? I'm sure we'll talk about this ad nauseum

24
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: on our Friday afternoon slots. Right across twenty twenty five.

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: How many thousands and thousands of Warriors Jersey has been

26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: one over there? Been worn over there and I don't

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: know if they keep with presumably lots of the mark Kiwi's,

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: but yeah, my brother's over there having a great time

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: with his mates. Sounds like it sounds like it's going

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: to be a big weekend.

31
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I think a few have come from all

32
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: over the place. I saw on TV last night one

33
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: of the butufotage, I saw a few had come over

34
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: from the UK. You know, they've lived at one point

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: in New Zealand, become Warriors fans, now live in the UK,

36
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: They've gone UK to Vegas.

37
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: How any upsets you think coming for Super Rugby Round three?

38
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: I've just had a look and I'm thinking maybe on

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: the on the odds, the Blues are favorites, are favorite

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: to beat the Hurricanes, but the Blues are zero and two.

41
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: They've lost both of their games so far the season.

42
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: The Hurricanes are at home at Sky Stadium. They haven't

43
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: been setting the world on fire. Either, but I well,

44
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a Hurricanes fans, I kind of have

45
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: to say this. I back my team to beat the Blues.

46
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: If the Blues are zero and three after three games,

47
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: you know that's getting into you know, not absolutely concerning territory,

48
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: but for the defending champions, they'd want to be doing

49
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: a bit better than that. And I actually don't mind

50
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: more one Pacifica tonight against the Highlanders. Highlanders beat the

51
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Blues last weekend down in Dunedin, Albany. This afternoon or

52
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: later on this evening, five past seven, I don't mind

53
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: more Onana Pacifica. I think they might pick up their

54
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: first one this weekend.

55
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: All right, interesting? What about the Chiefs and the Brumbies tomorrow.

56
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: Chiefs or yeah, Chiefs Chiefs all day? Yeah?

57
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, thanks to that, Jason, good to see it.
