1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge.

2
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 2: We'll look at that further at five to ten. Jason

3
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 2: Pine here, sports talk host seven o'clock to night on

4
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 2: News Talks. Here be Jason good afternoon.

5
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: Good, I right? How I am good?

6
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: Thank you? Damien Mackenzie re signing. Where does he sit

7
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: in the first five pecking order? Do you think?

8
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: I think he's sort of quite at the top. Actually,

9
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to apologize Roy. I'm getting the

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: same feedback then the other day.

11
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: Let's get you on the phone, all right, we'll come

12
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: back to you in just a few seconds. That's Jason

13
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: Pine and Ork consums to get this weird feedback thing

14
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: happening only in only when he's in Wellington. Speaking of Wellington,

15
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: it's all going off there today, isn't it. I don't know.

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: When you hear the Greens press conference these days, how

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: do you feel? Because it's there's one every week, isn't there.

18
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: If it's not Tamotha Paul and the police, then it's

19
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: Benjamin Doyle and the photos of the kid online. And

20
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: we will get into that in a second, and I'll

21
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: explain what's going on so that it's clear for everybody.

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: But when you hear Chloe and Madama stand there and

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: trying excuse all this stuff. I don't know about you,

24
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: but I just want to vomit. I just wanted it

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: to stop. Anyway, we'll talk about that in a second.

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: Jason pines back with us, Jason, God.

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: To do something about this feedback. I'm getting all feedbacks

28
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: of gifts Ryan as they say.

29
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: Well, your feedback's the one that we want. So tell

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: us where does he sit in terms of first five

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: pecking order? Damion McKenzie, because they've got him through till

32
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: is it twenty twenty nine?

33
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, pass the next World Cup on towards the Lions

34
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: tour as well, which is obviously a big, big reason

35
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: why he's decided to sign the four year deal. In

36
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: terms of the pecking order, I guess we're about to

37
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: find out he played first five for the first ten

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: tests of last year, then Vodhen Barrett kind of took

39
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: over for the back end of the year or the

40
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: most part of it. Those two I guess will go

41
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: head to head this year for that ten Jersey and

42
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: then of course in about a year from now, Richie Wonger,

43
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: by all reports, is going to return from Japan and

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: also put his hat in the ring for that particular role.

45
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: So look, I think it's a great move Amien McKenzie,

46
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Great for New Zealand rugby and it proves I think that,

47
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, opportunities like rugby World Cups and Lions Tours

48
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: are enough to fend off the big dollars available elsewhere.

49
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Because there's no doubt that Damien McKenzie could have earned

50
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: more had he gone to somewhere like Japan. He's decided

51
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: no black Jersey World Cup, Lions Tour more important to

52
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: me at the moment.

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: Well, good on him. I mean, we're lucky to have

54
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: him in that regard, don't we. Now the Warriors third

55
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: straight win, are they?

56
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: Is it our?

57
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: You know, everyone says this year, year is this year?

58
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't really know until it's over, do

59
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: you really? But how are you feeling?

60
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Well? It's shaping up that way. Mike Hoskin was fairly

61
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: bullish this morning. He said, yes, although that's just one

62
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: man's a pinion, of course. Look, I think off the

63
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: back of three wins in a row, you can start,

64
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, thinking optimistically about this. The Raiders game in

65
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Vegas is now clearly in the rearview mirror. And something

66
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about. Look, you're right, Ryan,

67
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: it's a long season. Andrew Webster says this. It's not

68
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: a sprinted as a marathon, but the one over the

69
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: coming from behind in the wet away from home. Off

70
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: the back of those two really good wins at home

71
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: against the Sea Eagles and the Roosters, they're shaping up well.

72
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: I think we'll find out a bit about them in

73
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks off to buy when they go

74
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: to Melbourne to take on the Melbourne Storm. But everything

75
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: trucking along fairly nicely at the moment.

76
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 2: Brilliant until it's not. That's the problem of the Warriors,

77
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: isn't it. But we won't think that, Jason, thank you

78
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: for that. We'll see tonight Jason Pine, sports talk host
