00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,519
Speaker 1: Jason Pine Weekend Sport hosters with us A Piney, Hello, Heather,

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Blues or more one a A Pacifica. I would love more

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: in a Pacifica to make it. I think most people

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: outside of the Blues fan base would prefer having more

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: on a Pacifica in the top six than the Blue.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: I mean, what a story, Heather, what a story is

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: you know? I mean, are you a Blues fan? Now?

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm apathetic? You know, we don't need to have this

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: conversation about super Rugby. However, I am going to the

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: game tomorrow, good which.

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: One the odd the one? And are you really there'll

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: be a bit of a damp squab whin I know.

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: I mean the Blues will probably win the game, yes,

14
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 2: and that will and that will probably get them into

15
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: the six because more on a Pacifica, by contrast, have

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: to come to Wellington and beat the Hurricanes. That's not

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: going to happen though, I don't think so. I feel

18
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: like much as I would love to see them, as

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: I say in the Sex, I think more on a

20
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: Pacifica might just be running out of gas ever so slightly.

21
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: They've been so good, but against the Chiefs a week ago, Man,

22
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: that was a bit of a hiding. So I kind

23
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: of feel as though the Blues will squeak in almost

24
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: inspire of themselves. If I'm honest. It's been a fairly

25
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: fairly meek and limp title defense. But having said that,

26
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: once they're in the six it's one of those where

27
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: it's you know, into knockout games. Maybe they'll lift their game.

28
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll find them in the Grand finals. Who know money?

29
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean, are we being unfair on will onea pacificate?

30
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Because didn't they just lose because it was the Chiefs.

31
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: That's a very good point, because I mean the Chiefs

32
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: play like that against anybody, you get a hiding, right.

33
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: I think Mawana just got them on that night. Yeah,

34
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are good. The Chiefs are well in my

35
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: mind anyway, the favorites to finally win the whole thing.

36
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: They've made the last two Grand finals. I would be

37
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: you know, I'd be putting money on them if I

38
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: was in possession of any to win the whole thing.

39
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: They are a very good team. So yeah, maybe Mowana

40
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: will surprise us all arties return to Wellington. Maybe he'll

41
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: inspire them to win over the Hurricanes and they will

42
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: be in the sixth.

43
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know you might get your story after all.

44
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: Do you reckon the Warriors are going to be able

45
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: to bounce back?

46
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: I think so. They have twice the season when they've lost.

47
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: They lost to the Raiders in Vegas, bounced back with

48
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: a good one over the Sea. Eagles got hammered by

49
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: the storm, but bounced back to win against the Broncos.

50
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: They were missing their co captains last week, both of

51
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: who were backed James Fisher, Harris and Mitch Barnett. They

52
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: didn't play against the Raiders. I think against the rabbit

53
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: O's in Sydney on Sunday afternoon, they'll write the ship

54
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: and continue on their merry way. They look a very

55
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: good team this year to me, Heather, They've got some

56
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: good depth players stepping up. I think they'll went on

57
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: Sunday and get and get a winning street going again.

58
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: Piney, can I ask you something. Do you think that

59
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: I should be putting much stock by these rumors of

60
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Nathan Cleary making a switch to rugby.

61
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I mean, I mean, do you

62
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: think he would?

63
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: What's the pay rate line?

64
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: I see there's the pay He's also a see a

65
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: lot of people think he might go to the UK

66
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: because his partner is a Matilda Australian footballer by the

67
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: name of Mary Fowler. She's based in the UK. A

68
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: lot of people saying, well, it's the more logical place

69
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: to go, although I guess if he switches coach he

70
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: could play up there. I don't reckon, do you reckon?

71
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

72
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking you. You're the one who knows

73
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: all the stuff.

74
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: Or what a wonderful answer from me? Then I don't

75
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: know whither. I don't know thin.

76
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Your tones edit all Piney, your tone said it all

77
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: and I appreciate that. That's Jason Pine Weekend Sport host

78
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: mid day to three tomorrow and Sunday here in news

79
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: talk zby Yet the look these the rumors have been

80
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: doing the rounds with Nathan Cleary a little while and

81
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: why that popped up again is because there was a podcast.

82
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: I know there was a podcast and it featured the

83
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: former Wallaby Tim Horan and he said you might not

84
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: have to wait too long. There's been some rumors the

85
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: last two months that he's quite keen. I've heard it

86
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: totally separate. He's quite keen to come to rugby and

87
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: I'm just I just I find it. I've got to

88
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: be honestly, I find it fascinating when these blokes switch

89
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: from rugby league to rugby union and rugby union to

90
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: rugby league.

91
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: I'm just interested.

92
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm always interested in how hard they find it to

93
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: make the switch. So anyway, we'll just say I'll keep

94
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: an eye on that one because I'll be pa I'll

95
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: personally be fascinated to see how he goes, because he's awesome.
