Trailing twenty 5 00:00:20,547 --> 00:00:24,027 Speaker 2: two points to four at halftime, they scored four unanswered 6 00:00:24,067 --> 00:00:28,107 Speaker 2: tries to lead twenty six twenty two before Cronulla scored 7 00:00:28,107 --> 00:00:30,987 Speaker 2: a converter tried to go ahead twenty eight twenty six, 8 00:00:31,507 --> 00:00:35,307 Speaker 2: but with only seconds remaining, the retiring Sewn Johnson. 9 00:00:34,947 --> 00:00:39,547 Speaker 3: Did this possibly their last checks Hagen, the Walker, Johnson 10 00:00:39,587 --> 00:00:53,947 Speaker 3: Czime calenc Rinzi's own script Riddled, produced directed by Sean Johnson. 11 00:00:54,187 --> 00:00:59,267 Speaker 3: The movie his last game Winzard for the Warriors. 12 00:00:59,587 --> 00:01:02,467 Speaker 2: Yeah cut out pass to Delan watenis Lesniak who dotted 13 00:01:02,547 --> 00:01:04,387 Speaker 2: down in the corner for a hat trick of tries 14 00:01:04,427 --> 00:01:06,747 Speaker 2: for him and a thirty twenty eight went for the 15 00:01:06,787 --> 00:01:10,027 Speaker 2: Warriors over the Sharks. As well as Sean Johnson. Of course, 16 00:01:10,307 --> 00:01:13,987 Speaker 2: Adam Vanua, Blake and Jazz Tavanga also played their final 17 00:01:14,067 --> 00:01:17,907 Speaker 2: matches for the club last night. Former Warrior, NRL triple 18 00:01:18,027 --> 00:01:21,627 Speaker 2: centurion and now Skysport Rugby League analyst Adam Blair joins 19 00:01:21,667 --> 00:01:24,587 Speaker 2: us Adam fairy tarl endings don't always happen, and of 20 00:01:24,587 --> 00:01:26,747 Speaker 2: course the Warriors haven't made the eight. But how pleased 21 00:01:26,747 --> 00:01:29,067 Speaker 2: were you to see Sean Johnson go out on a 22 00:01:29,067 --> 00:01:31,347 Speaker 2: bit of a high last night with a match winning 23 00:01:31,387 --> 00:01:34,387 Speaker 2: play with his final action in a Warrior's shirt. 24 00:01:35,147 --> 00:01:35,347 Speaker 1: Yeah? 25 00:01:35,387 --> 00:01:37,907 Speaker 4: How great was that for? You know, not only is 26 00:01:37,947 --> 00:01:40,547 Speaker 4: the Warriors and the fans by Sean Johnson, And like 27 00:01:40,587 --> 00:01:44,547 Speaker 4: you said, not everyone goes on anything. And last weekend, 28 00:01:44,747 --> 00:01:46,907 Speaker 4: you know at Mount Go media stated he would have 29 00:01:46,947 --> 00:01:48,587 Speaker 4: got there, he didn't get it, but last night he 30 00:01:48,587 --> 00:01:50,667 Speaker 4: had his fingerprint over everything. I thought that's sick enough. 31 00:01:51,307 --> 00:01:53,267 Speaker 4: Now I'm going to be real honest. I didn't think 32 00:01:53,307 --> 00:01:55,507 Speaker 4: they looked likely of winning the game, like you said, 33 00:01:55,547 --> 00:01:57,427 Speaker 4: I think it was twenty two four at halftime and 34 00:01:57,827 --> 00:01:59,427 Speaker 4: they had to come out and play some footy. But 35 00:01:59,587 --> 00:02:01,347 Speaker 4: you know, I thought Sewn Johnson stepped up in the 36 00:02:01,347 --> 00:02:04,027 Speaker 4: second half and had his fingerprints have everything right to 37 00:02:04,067 --> 00:02:06,627 Speaker 4: the end into the last second, in that long or 38 00:02:06,987 --> 00:02:08,107 Speaker 4: the doll and he has saw. I had a bit 39 00:02:08,147 --> 00:02:10,147 Speaker 4: of work to do, but a nice train and a 40 00:02:10,187 --> 00:02:11,947 Speaker 4: nice way to finish off all those boys that are 41 00:02:12,027 --> 00:02:13,667 Speaker 4: leaving as well, do. 42 00:02:13,587 --> 00:02:16,787 Speaker 2: You reckon any part of Sean Johnson wonders if he 43 00:02:16,867 --> 00:02:17,787 Speaker 2: should go around again. 44 00:02:18,827 --> 00:02:21,347 Speaker 4: No, no, not at all. You know, I put myself 45 00:02:21,387 --> 00:02:24,267 Speaker 4: in Sean's shoes and my tongue when I was about 46 00:02:24,307 --> 00:02:27,067 Speaker 4: to finish up. And I think the push off the 47 00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:29,547 Speaker 4: last weekend's game that go media dame, and I guess 48 00:02:29,547 --> 00:02:31,707 Speaker 4: the build ups have been as a final home game, 49 00:02:31,747 --> 00:02:34,067 Speaker 4: and the emotion and all the energy were to use 50 00:02:34,507 --> 00:02:36,587 Speaker 4: to try and get through their week. You could see 51 00:02:36,627 --> 00:02:39,267 Speaker 4: the smile on his face last and last night's game 52 00:02:39,267 --> 00:02:40,747 Speaker 4: from the moment he ran now to the moment he 53 00:02:40,787 --> 00:02:43,427 Speaker 4: finished with their kick and missed the goal. That those 54 00:02:43,467 --> 00:02:45,947 Speaker 4: are the moments that you just know that yep, you've 55 00:02:45,987 --> 00:02:48,867 Speaker 4: made the right decision. And your addies right there, and 56 00:02:48,907 --> 00:02:50,547 Speaker 4: I thought he looked like they're through the whole game. 57 00:02:51,467 --> 00:02:53,667 Speaker 2: Of course, I mean very similar to yourself. You had 58 00:02:53,667 --> 00:02:56,427 Speaker 2: fifteen seasons in the NRL. He's just finished his fourteenth, 59 00:02:56,507 --> 00:02:59,227 Speaker 2: so pretty similar. Do you remember, Adam, how you felt 60 00:02:59,267 --> 00:03:02,067 Speaker 2: in the in the few days or weeks after your 61 00:03:02,107 --> 00:03:04,107 Speaker 2: final game? What back in twenty twenty. 62 00:03:04,787 --> 00:03:07,987 Speaker 4: Yeah, well I'm a little bit different. Shawn arm haven't 63 00:03:08,107 --> 00:03:11,947 Speaker 4: had like a real I guess colorful career. Like Sean Daddy, 64 00:03:12,067 --> 00:03:14,387 Speaker 4: he was an icon hair in New Zealan arm You know, 65 00:03:14,467 --> 00:03:17,147 Speaker 4: every single kid, every single kid looked up to the 66 00:03:17,147 --> 00:03:18,907 Speaker 4: things that he did. He was magical when he come 67 00:03:18,947 --> 00:03:21,947 Speaker 4: on stage on the big stage in twenty eleven. And 68 00:03:21,987 --> 00:03:24,907 Speaker 4: I think, you know, my decision was literally last minute. 69 00:03:24,907 --> 00:03:27,867 Speaker 4: It was Captain's run, getting the circle, tell the boys 70 00:03:27,867 --> 00:03:30,347 Speaker 4: that's done. Hey boys, let's switch over the focus, because 71 00:03:30,387 --> 00:03:32,187 Speaker 4: again I wanted to just finish off on a high 72 00:03:32,187 --> 00:03:34,667 Speaker 4: and enjoy those moments that I had left of my teammates, 73 00:03:34,787 --> 00:03:36,987 Speaker 4: those last moments in the dressing rooms, the last moment 74 00:03:37,067 --> 00:03:39,827 Speaker 4: on the field. And yeah, so mine was a little 75 00:03:39,867 --> 00:03:42,227 Speaker 4: bit different. But he deserves everything he has. He's been 76 00:03:42,667 --> 00:03:45,827 Speaker 4: a legend here in New Zealand for not only international spress, 77 00:03:45,867 --> 00:03:47,947 Speaker 4: the key we's, but also had the worries and every kid, 78 00:03:48,267 --> 00:03:51,827 Speaker 4: including my kid's love and thinks he's a legend. Yeah. 79 00:03:51,907 --> 00:03:55,787 Speaker 2: Well, barring any remarkable you know, change of mind and 80 00:03:56,387 --> 00:03:59,267 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty degree turn and coming back, let's 81 00:03:59,267 --> 00:04:01,947 Speaker 2: just assume he's not coming back. Do you think Tomighty 82 00:04:02,027 --> 00:04:04,427 Speaker 2: Martin will get first crack at the seven jersey next season? 83 00:04:05,147 --> 00:04:07,307 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's a lot of conversations around in 84 00:04:07,347 --> 00:04:09,307 Speaker 4: the halves at the Warrior thing like this year we 85 00:04:09,347 --> 00:04:11,547 Speaker 4: would have said, you know, we've got six six different 86 00:04:11,547 --> 00:04:14,027 Speaker 4: halves and we've got six too many. And you know, 87 00:04:14,067 --> 00:04:16,707 Speaker 4: you get through the year and the injuries are everywhere 88 00:04:16,747 --> 00:04:18,987 Speaker 4: and they're trying to find these combinations and not too 89 00:04:19,067 --> 00:04:22,267 Speaker 4: many played together throughout the year. They had most really 90 00:04:22,307 --> 00:04:25,267 Speaker 4: five or six different changes. And I think Tomati's in 91 00:04:25,267 --> 00:04:27,347 Speaker 4: the box seat. I think like most of the boys, 92 00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:30,147 Speaker 4: Metcalf and Cluders, you've got to get for a solid 93 00:04:30,147 --> 00:04:33,507 Speaker 4: preseason to give yourself some confidence so that you can 94 00:04:33,547 --> 00:04:36,147 Speaker 4: go into the season feeling like that position is yours. 95 00:04:36,387 --> 00:04:38,027 Speaker 4: It's up to anyone to just grab them. And I 96 00:04:38,027 --> 00:04:40,947 Speaker 4: think Chanelle can do a good job. To thinkke Metcalf 97 00:04:40,987 --> 00:04:42,587 Speaker 4: can do a good job, and I also think Tomidy 98 00:04:42,627 --> 00:04:44,987 Speaker 4: can do a good job. So the balls in their 99 00:04:45,027 --> 00:04:47,747 Speaker 4: hands and if they work really hard, they get but 100 00:04:47,867 --> 00:04:49,347 Speaker 4: all definitely own that position. 101 00:04:49,907 --> 00:04:52,147 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're so rong. I'm just looking at the 102 00:04:52,147 --> 00:04:54,627 Speaker 2: lineups that the Warriors have had and it's been, yeah, 103 00:04:54,787 --> 00:04:56,827 Speaker 2: a lot of chopping and changing. Around six and seven. 104 00:04:56,947 --> 00:04:59,107 Speaker 2: I think Charns nicol Klukstera even had a game in 105 00:04:59,147 --> 00:05:01,987 Speaker 2: the six jumper at one stage, how important, Adam, is 106 00:05:02,027 --> 00:05:04,907 Speaker 2: it to find to find a combo you like, a 107 00:05:04,987 --> 00:05:07,427 Speaker 2: six seven you like and barring and give them a 108 00:05:07,467 --> 00:05:09,067 Speaker 2: decent run in those positions. 109 00:05:09,507 --> 00:05:12,347 Speaker 4: Well, it's important you see, the best teams and the 110 00:05:12,387 --> 00:05:14,347 Speaker 4: competition at this time of the year are playing their 111 00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:19,107 Speaker 4: best halves in the right positions and consistency around combinations. 112 00:05:19,187 --> 00:05:21,747 Speaker 4: And I guess the most thing is confidence for halves. 113 00:05:22,147 --> 00:05:24,587 Speaker 4: They are your main players. They are your go to 114 00:05:24,667 --> 00:05:26,507 Speaker 4: that your leaders, They are your guys that get you 115 00:05:26,547 --> 00:05:28,427 Speaker 4: in the right position to finish off your sets. So 116 00:05:29,147 --> 00:05:31,427 Speaker 4: it's important that you have that consistency around the same 117 00:05:31,467 --> 00:05:34,067 Speaker 4: halves all year. If you're chopping in chosing like we've 118 00:05:34,067 --> 00:05:37,547 Speaker 4: seen this year, obviously injuries haven't helped as well, you're 119 00:05:37,547 --> 00:05:39,347 Speaker 4: going to get kind of similar results to what we have. 120 00:05:39,427 --> 00:05:42,027 Speaker 4: But like you said, Chancey step doesn't. There may be 121 00:05:42,067 --> 00:05:44,707 Speaker 4: something some thinking around Chance going into that sixth position 122 00:05:44,787 --> 00:05:46,307 Speaker 4: next year and someone else going to the Senate. And 123 00:05:46,307 --> 00:05:49,267 Speaker 4: I thought, he's a bigger body, he's got some got 124 00:05:49,267 --> 00:05:51,907 Speaker 4: some ball playing ability, and you know we're seetain to 125 00:05:51,987 --> 00:05:54,267 Speaker 4: open at the back last night. I think he's he's 126 00:05:54,307 --> 00:05:56,907 Speaker 4: an n RL starter without a doubt, but does he 127 00:05:56,987 --> 00:05:59,867 Speaker 4: hang around? Does does is it off by someone else? 128 00:05:59,907 --> 00:06:02,627 Speaker 4: So there's options there for the worries, but they need 129 00:06:02,627 --> 00:06:04,067 Speaker 4: to play the people in the right positions. 130 00:06:04,067 --> 00:06:06,067 Speaker 2: For me, Yeah, you know you've rippened my mind on 131 00:06:06,147 --> 00:06:08,147 Speaker 2: Tane in to a bicky. I thought he was terrific 132 00:06:08,227 --> 00:06:10,867 Speaker 2: last night. It's only had six games this season. Same 133 00:06:10,907 --> 00:06:13,707 Speaker 2: with Ali Leah Dawa as well, only the six games 134 00:06:13,747 --> 00:06:15,987 Speaker 2: of Hermie was good last night too. Can you see 135 00:06:15,987 --> 00:06:18,627 Speaker 2: those two playing a more significant role next year? 136 00:06:19,547 --> 00:06:22,467 Speaker 4: Oh well, I put Tane in the similar position to 137 00:06:22,587 --> 00:06:24,507 Speaker 4: Challenge when Charms was first trying to come through the 138 00:06:24,547 --> 00:06:28,267 Speaker 4: Warriors pathways with Roger blocking him from getting a position 139 00:06:28,347 --> 00:06:30,747 Speaker 4: at starting at the fullback. So I feel like if 140 00:06:30,867 --> 00:06:33,827 Speaker 4: if they're not going to play or play Tane to Opiki, 141 00:06:33,947 --> 00:06:35,707 Speaker 4: I think he finds himself at another club because I 142 00:06:35,747 --> 00:06:37,907 Speaker 4: think he's a fast up start at any team if 143 00:06:37,907 --> 00:06:40,507 Speaker 4: they're looking for a fallback, he's got their different mold 144 00:06:40,587 --> 00:06:43,267 Speaker 4: or fallback, a lot smaller lot, quicker lot, more agile 145 00:06:43,267 --> 00:06:46,867 Speaker 4: on their feet, similar to Kanu Kenny. So yeah, Ali, 146 00:06:47,747 --> 00:06:49,827 Speaker 4: the good thing about the Warriors and the future looks 147 00:06:49,827 --> 00:06:51,787 Speaker 4: for it. They've seen we've seen them be able to 148 00:06:51,787 --> 00:06:54,547 Speaker 4: bleed some of these young forwards through. Obviously you're losing 149 00:06:54,547 --> 00:06:57,467 Speaker 4: Adam Fana Blake, but he also got a Rocco Berry 150 00:06:57,507 --> 00:06:59,787 Speaker 4: has been sitting on the side. I think they're the future. 151 00:07:00,107 --> 00:07:02,227 Speaker 4: These young guys that have come through the pathways are 152 00:07:02,307 --> 00:07:05,187 Speaker 4: the future. Consistency with them getting time on the fielders 153 00:07:05,787 --> 00:07:08,987 Speaker 4: is important. So preseason that's where it all start with him. 154 00:07:09,427 --> 00:07:12,067 Speaker 2: Where do you reckon? We'll see Roger Tivivaskischek playing most 155 00:07:12,067 --> 00:07:12,907 Speaker 2: off the next season. 156 00:07:13,747 --> 00:07:15,867 Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, Wing, that's just me having a stab. 157 00:07:15,987 --> 00:07:19,587 Speaker 4: I just don't think he's He's like, he's a fallback 158 00:07:19,587 --> 00:07:21,267 Speaker 4: without a doubt. But you know what I mean, like 159 00:07:21,347 --> 00:07:23,547 Speaker 4: you've got chance, you've got time to pick in the 160 00:07:23,587 --> 00:07:26,827 Speaker 4: game's changing real quick. You've seen someone like hink Gufflerson. 161 00:07:26,867 --> 00:07:29,267 Speaker 4: I think the game's starting to move past the older 162 00:07:29,267 --> 00:07:31,747 Speaker 4: guys with obviously these young guys coming through with the 163 00:07:31,787 --> 00:07:34,587 Speaker 4: faster feat the more athletic, you know what I mean, 164 00:07:34,827 --> 00:07:37,067 Speaker 4: You're not gonna you're gonna lose most of the leadership 165 00:07:37,067 --> 00:07:38,827 Speaker 4: of what and the quality of what they bring. But 166 00:07:38,867 --> 00:07:40,827 Speaker 4: he got these kids that just come into the game 167 00:07:40,867 --> 00:07:42,747 Speaker 4: and just play some football. So I think they find 168 00:07:42,787 --> 00:07:45,547 Speaker 4: himself on the on the wing again, You've got some 169 00:07:45,587 --> 00:07:48,307 Speaker 4: other wingers there as well, so some challenging times for 170 00:07:48,347 --> 00:07:50,147 Speaker 4: the Warriors and some I guess you've got an off 171 00:07:50,187 --> 00:07:52,067 Speaker 4: season to try and plan and see what there looks like. 172 00:07:52,667 --> 00:07:54,507 Speaker 2: We know edon Fanola Blake's off to the Sharks. Do 173 00:07:54,547 --> 00:07:55,947 Speaker 2: we know where Jase Tavun is going? 174 00:07:56,867 --> 00:07:58,827 Speaker 4: Not at the moment. I think, you know, someone like 175 00:07:58,907 --> 00:08:01,547 Speaker 4: Jazz could fit into any club. I like, I've got 176 00:08:01,587 --> 00:08:03,947 Speaker 4: a podcast I mentioned him going to the Bulldogs. I 177 00:08:03,987 --> 00:08:06,987 Speaker 4: think he fits into that, that mental that they have 178 00:08:07,107 --> 00:08:09,147 Speaker 4: that just keeps tuning up and keep working. He's obviously 179 00:08:09,227 --> 00:08:11,387 Speaker 4: got a good relationship with Todd Payton at the Cowboys 180 00:08:11,387 --> 00:08:12,827 Speaker 4: that could end up going over there. And then maybe 181 00:08:12,827 --> 00:08:15,747 Speaker 4: Benji Marshall might offer him a lifeline at at the Tigers. 182 00:08:15,827 --> 00:08:18,587 Speaker 4: So these are just my thoughts. And might have Finanza 183 00:08:18,587 --> 00:08:20,587 Speaker 4: and I think he could add value to all three clubs, 184 00:08:20,947 --> 00:08:21,347 Speaker 4: all right. 185 00:08:21,387 --> 00:08:23,667 Speaker 2: And just I was watching that game last night, the 186 00:08:23,667 --> 00:08:25,907 Speaker 2: second half of particular, Adam, I'm sure you were as well, 187 00:08:26,027 --> 00:08:27,387 Speaker 2: and I was thinking to myself, Man, wouldn't it be 188 00:08:27,387 --> 00:08:28,827 Speaker 2: great if they were like this here every week? And 189 00:08:28,867 --> 00:08:30,907 Speaker 2: I'm sure that's the you know, that's the golden ticket 190 00:08:30,907 --> 00:08:32,627 Speaker 2: that every team's after. But why do you think it 191 00:08:32,707 --> 00:08:36,347 Speaker 2: was so hard for the Warriors to find consistency this year? 192 00:08:37,827 --> 00:08:41,187 Speaker 4: Definitely the ins and out of swapping positions and people 193 00:08:41,267 --> 00:08:43,387 Speaker 4: not playing in the right position, to injuries. I think 194 00:08:43,667 --> 00:08:45,387 Speaker 4: he might have heard if you watched that right to 195 00:08:45,427 --> 00:08:48,667 Speaker 4: the end of Sean Johnson's interviews. He managed to get 196 00:08:48,707 --> 00:08:51,467 Speaker 4: three consecutive games, and I don't think he's had that 197 00:08:51,547 --> 00:08:54,267 Speaker 4: all year. So when when your spine can get some 198 00:08:54,347 --> 00:08:57,227 Speaker 4: games together, they start getting a bit of a feel 199 00:08:57,267 --> 00:08:59,147 Speaker 4: for the game and they see things because this is 200 00:08:59,187 --> 00:09:00,867 Speaker 4: what they do. They get their flow on. And that's 201 00:09:00,867 --> 00:09:02,467 Speaker 4: what Sewan said. He felt like he was in his 202 00:09:02,547 --> 00:09:05,067 Speaker 4: own last night. So when he set up that last play, 203 00:09:05,107 --> 00:09:08,067 Speaker 4: it was like at a seat Quin's play that they've trained, 204 00:09:08,107 --> 00:09:10,107 Speaker 4: they've seen it. But this was the third week in 205 00:09:10,147 --> 00:09:11,627 Speaker 4: the raid that he's managed to get on the field 206 00:09:11,667 --> 00:09:13,627 Speaker 4: and it just all seemed to come to get at 207 00:09:13,667 --> 00:09:15,787 Speaker 4: the right time push on last night. So you know, 208 00:09:16,027 --> 00:09:18,347 Speaker 4: they've got to get they've got to get consistency about 209 00:09:18,387 --> 00:09:20,827 Speaker 4: just making sure that they've got time on the field 210 00:09:20,827 --> 00:09:23,827 Speaker 4: and connection together. It's important spines. Spines are the big 211 00:09:23,867 --> 00:09:25,867 Speaker 4: part of your team, and it may be an offseason 212 00:09:25,907 --> 00:09:28,027 Speaker 4: where they hang out together. Maybe it's simple as having 213 00:09:28,027 --> 00:09:30,027 Speaker 4: a coffee and having a chat, you know, and building 214 00:09:30,067 --> 00:09:32,747 Speaker 4: those relationships, seeing those connections and being tight as a group. 215 00:09:33,427 --> 00:09:35,867 Speaker 2: That's how that happens. Are we heited for a Storm 216 00:09:36,027 --> 00:09:37,747 Speaker 2: Panthers Grand Final? Do you think? 217 00:09:38,467 --> 00:09:38,667 Speaker 3: Oh? 218 00:09:39,067 --> 00:09:41,147 Speaker 4: You know, I think Nathan Clear is a big part 219 00:09:41,187 --> 00:09:43,587 Speaker 4: of that pen of Panthers and I'm guessing he's going 220 00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:45,227 Speaker 4: to be back in the in the fold the next 221 00:09:45,227 --> 00:09:47,107 Speaker 4: coming weeks and it's important that they get in there. 222 00:09:47,147 --> 00:09:48,827 Speaker 4: I definitely think the Storm are going to be there. 223 00:09:48,827 --> 00:09:51,067 Speaker 4: Maybe two weeks ago I said storm pen of Panthers 224 00:09:51,067 --> 00:09:53,307 Speaker 4: in the Grand Final, it's all over. But I've late 225 00:09:53,507 --> 00:09:58,507 Speaker 4: seen someone like the Roosters come into contention. Don't know 226 00:09:58,547 --> 00:10:00,187 Speaker 4: about their defense. I know they can score a lot 227 00:10:00,187 --> 00:10:02,147 Speaker 4: of times and they play a lot of football, but 228 00:10:02,547 --> 00:10:04,427 Speaker 4: you know, when it comes down to the Grand finals 229 00:10:04,507 --> 00:10:07,347 Speaker 4: or winning games in this in this next of the competition, 230 00:10:07,547 --> 00:10:11,307 Speaker 4: it's defense that win's premierships. And I think, yeah, I 231 00:10:11,307 --> 00:10:13,507 Speaker 4: think both teams know how to play these big moments 232 00:10:13,547 --> 00:10:15,587 Speaker 4: and they could be those two good stuff. 233 00:10:15,667 --> 00:10:17,187 Speaker 2: Well, it's great chatting to you, Adam. I hope You've 234 00:10:17,187 --> 00:10:19,107 Speaker 2: had a great father's day, mate. Thanks for taking the time. 235 00:10:19,667 --> 00:10:21,507 Speaker 4: Thank you well. I appreciate it all the best. 236 00:10:21,547 --> 00:10:24,227 Speaker 2: Adam Blair joining us to talk Warriors there. Yeah, I 237 00:10:24,267 --> 00:10:27,787 Speaker 2: think the you know, the the unpacking of the Warriors 238 00:10:27,787 --> 00:10:30,147 Speaker 2: season will happen over the next little while. The season 239 00:10:30,227 --> 00:10:32,947 Speaker 2: reviews will take place, and yeah, let's hope that that 240 00:10:33,387 --> 00:10:35,667 Speaker 2: lessons are learned. I think, you know, they always are, 241 00:10:35,707 --> 00:10:38,187 Speaker 2: aren't they. I think back to this time last year 242 00:10:38,187 --> 00:10:40,227 Speaker 2: and we were looking forward to the Warriors and their 243 00:10:40,267 --> 00:10:42,307 Speaker 2: finals run. We don't have that to look forward to 244 00:10:42,387 --> 00:10:45,387 Speaker 2: this year obviously, and you know we've said many times 245 00:10:45,467 --> 00:10:48,347 Speaker 2: on the show that that it just hasn't gone the 246 00:10:48,387 --> 00:10:51,667 Speaker 2: way anybody expected. We're all looking at this Warriors team 247 00:10:51,707 --> 00:10:54,027 Speaker 2: like a top eight outfit at the start of twenty 248 00:10:54,027 --> 00:10:56,707 Speaker 2: twenty four, not to be What will twenty twenty five 249 00:10:56,787 --> 00:10:59,027 Speaker 2: bring well, I guess we'll find out in a few 250 00:10:59,027 --> 00:10:59,547 Speaker 2: months time. 251 00:11:00,467 --> 00:11:03,627 Speaker 1: For more from Weekend Sport with Jason Fine, listen live 252 00:11:03,747 --> 00:11:07,147 Speaker 1: to news talks'd be weekends from midday or follow the 253 00:11:07,187 --> 00:11:08,667 Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio.
