I'm back from 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.960 my foray into the desert. I landed yesterday at about lunchtime. 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:30.160 I'm struggling to readjust how many Western. 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:31.920 Life, how many people came up to you and just 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:33.240 unloaded an Arabic to you. 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.640 The first day I got there, I made sure I 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.640 went and got my haircut. I got the bed tightened there, 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.599 I got the tight fade going on. A Syrian gentleman 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:43.840 cut my hair, either. 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:45.880 Syrian or Lebanese. When it comes to the barbers in 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:46.440 the Middle. 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.840 East, yeah, Moroccan, any sort of North Africa Arab state, 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.320 they'll sort of cut your hair and sort you out. 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:53.160 Yep. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.480 So then, but I was in Dubai at that stage, 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.160 so not a lot of Arab speakers there. It was 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.320 when I went to Aman and bought the dish that 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.960 you see me sitting in right now with the traditional 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.840 head scarff and straight after that, I chucked this on 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.000 walk straight out everyone, all of the people in the 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.200 market because they could spot my friends from a mile 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.920 away and they would say, you know, hello to them, 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.319 what country are you from? They would just start berating 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:17.440 me in Arabic, like. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.680 How can we wrap these guys off? Yeah? Give us 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:20.920 how we wrapped these guys off? 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.480 Yeah, It's quite funny because in Dubai there is obviously 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.600 enough Australians and we for all intents and purposes, when 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.280 we're overseas, we are Australian that they could spot us, 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.360 or at least my friends. And we had these guys 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.920 trying to sell what is it like, perfume and shit 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.400 like that and spices. 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.199 And as we will past, this guy goes hello. 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.920 It was the funniest like impersonation of an Australian that 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:54.360 I've ever heard Hello. It was actually fucking terrifying. So 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.720 we didn't buy anything off the habibi there. I went 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.160 over to Oman, which was like proper the people that 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.240 em meant to Dubai. It's basically Disneyland meets Las Vegas. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.320 It's crazy and no one there is actually from there. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.040 Everyone's on the run from something. Yeah, yeah, that's the 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:15.720 feeling I get. Definitely running from something. I think something 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.680 like listens, twenty percent of the population in Dubai from 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:19.680 Dubai em. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.120 Rai it's way less than that. Yeah, it might be 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:22.679 about ten. 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.880 So anyway, went over to Iman, proper Arabic country. They 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.840 dubbed me Manaya been Raushi el shit in the wadi 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:35.760 because you you shit in the wadi because I've developed 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.799 a rash. You talked yesterday on the podcast about how 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.960 when I'm away on the road, I developed like I 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.640 look like Imperor Palpatine. By the end of it, I'm rashy. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.440 My eyes are sunk it into the back of my head. 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.520 So by the time I showed up to Iman, that's 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.400 what I looked like. And I had some sort of 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.520 stomach as you're going on as well as like, hi 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.640 am going to ship in the waddy, which is like 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.640 a desert oasis thing that you go swimming in. 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.520 Yeah. So then I flew back yesterday. 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.840 I'm sure you and Jerry talked about it, but that 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.600 seventeen hour flight is savage. 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.440 It's just there's something about you forget about it after 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.480 a while. It's like child burst. It is. Yeah, you 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:12.680 don't forget the pain of it. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.000 The first six hours, seven hours fly by and you're like, 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.000 I'm doing well here, and then it just grinds to 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:18.359 a halt. 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.600 From there, it's like a I don't know, like a 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.280 time chamber. Do you have any good neighbors? 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.520 Oh my god, my neighbors. I had these fucking hell 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.240 I could see them.

They couldn't 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.880 figure out They didn't speak a loack of English, couldn't 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.680 figure out the display thing in front of them, so 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:55.400 they never watched. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.800 The guy watched the raw dog. No, he didn't rule dog. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.280 It the only thing he could figure out as the 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.040 default channel on Emirates as like an Emmorati propaganda channel. Yes, 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.960 and he got stuck on that with no headphones and 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.520 just watched the hat for sixteen he busted out a book. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.760 So an hour and a half into the flight, my 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.160 man reaches over to grab a juice over the top 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.920 of me and just tips orange juice all down my leg. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.200 I'm like, fuck, beauty, here. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.839 We go then, because the sun was up, but everyone 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.440 was starting to go to sleep, so they you know how, 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.680 they put the blue lights on and blah blah blah, 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.320 everyone's going to sleep. My man couldn't figure out the light, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.440 so he just opened his curtain and just blinded about 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.599 seven people. I had to explain to him how to 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.440 get the light going, had to shut the fucking thing. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:44.200 And so then we got about six hours left in 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.920 the flight.

And then what I didn't know 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.599 was all over the blanket that I had sleeping. So 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.760 it wasn't until I tried picking the blanket up again 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.120 that I found tomato sauce all over as like fucking hew. 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:00.760 Soon as we got. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.200 Off the plane, I could see these guys being like, 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:04.160 where do we go? 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.599 How do we blah blah blah.

It's not because I 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.279 didn't buy any I did. Let me tell you, they're 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.760 doing a two for one deal at customs at the 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.880 moment Doug Get sucked them by forty eight Bucksits for 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.640 two toblerones.

You just get mythed up and you're just away. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:27.640 It's a miracle drug. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:28.040 I can't. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.520 I was outraged that we had banned it for so long. 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.280 It's actually the only thing that genuinely fixes you. 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.160 Yeah, the only thing that makes you soldier on. Yeah, 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:38.200 you're away laughing. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.520 So I got home. I tried to stay up as 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.960 long as I could. Last night, crashed out, died, work up. 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.160 This morning five am. Cat brought a rat into the house. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.800 There's a gift for you, you've missed you. Here's a 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:54.200 giant street. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.080 It was a big barsard too. I don't know where 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.080 he got it from or how he got it over 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.760 the fence and up and into the house, but yeah, 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:02.360 what have I missed over the last sort of three 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.480 or four days that the. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.760 It was the victory lap while they're still going on 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.040 radio herd Aki finishes tomorrow. 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.560 There's five laps. They've done five long laps, but the. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.040 Last lap is tomorrow. But I suppose the big news 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:20.320 was the Saudi resignation. Yes, that happened in the same 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:25.200 hotel room as the Ross Taylor boning in gaul before 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.480 they flew out some demons in that hotel. And also 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.000 the beef, the beef that's starting between Ireland and the 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.480 All Blacks which started with Johnny sex Pess's book, and 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.400 another Irish players weighed in saying that Rique's a piece 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.240 of shit and Johnny Sexton's the greatest gift to rugby. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.360 So it's adding some real spice to that. 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.600 The next game against Ireland on the November the night 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.040 on the Northern Tour on the Northern Tourist, so that's. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:49.800 Kind of ramping up. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.760 And this old Irish player only played six tests for Ireland, 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.920 but he's weighed on some shitty podcast uh and way 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.120 and just basically piled in on you. I saw that, 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.000 So that's going to be it's going to be interesting 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.199 when goes on that way too, because he's the kind 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.640 of guy who's not gonna he's not gonna go sorry guys, sorry, 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:07.800 he is going to double down. 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:08.959 Yeah, one hundred. It's good. 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.840 It's good for the game. But this is what we 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.760 could play about with rugby. I know, like it's so boring. 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.120 We don't know the players very well. 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.960 But it has to wait until a book in a retirement, 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.840 this is the thing. It has to wait into a book. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:19.520 And he didn't. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:21.760 They could have come out with that at the post 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.520 match press conference. Yeah, yeah, it just got buried that 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:26.840 there was just a bit of a bet of tour 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.400 and for everyone knew that. Brady said four more years. 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.120 Went to Peter Marney who called sam Kin a ship. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:35.679 Richie McCall, Yeah, so. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.680 We love that ship. That's that's what we thrive on. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.160 Everyone a gentleman's game. It's like, you know, come on, 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:41.120 we need to be better than that. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.640 Because what did you only say to enjoy your retirement 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:51.040 you can't, which, yeah I miss your playing, Yeah, I 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.040 enjoy your retirement. It was a little unnecessary considering you're 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.199 just beating him. Like if you if you see it 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.400 at the start of the game, hey tomorrow, don't miss 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.080 your fly that and enjoy your retirement. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.199 The start of the game, once he knocked them out. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.360 It would have been, but there was so much tension 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.480 in that game, so much tension. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.400 You would be losing your mind. Even the way it finished. Yeah, 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.120 that's that was right at the end. There was the penalty. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.240 It was and even Johnny Sexton's still banging on about 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:16.920 the penalty that. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.760 Yeah, White shouldn't have been a penalty. Get out of here. 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.600 I know, it's ridiculous. Great promo for the book, though, 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:23.760 I love. 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.360 Lie buy it though, No, I'll be buying.

You only 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.760 say to him. Sonny Bell's one was the funniest. His 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.720 one was I didn't love my wife when. 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.640 I married it. We even got a line, have we 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.360 I know what's what's our one going to be? 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.440 We need to find Let's just say Jason Hoyt threw 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:01.840 it on the ground when I gave it to him 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:03.480 and said, I told you not to put that in there, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.360 and he walked off. I suppose that that said he 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:07.079 threw it on the ground. 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.240 He didn't want it. Oh, this is the actual YEA 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:10.600 on the ground. So there you go. 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.080 There's the book that Jason Hoyt has one thing to 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.040 do with. Yeah, and he actually says it on the back. 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:16.920 His quote says I want to distance myself, but he 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:17.760 literally does. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.679 I'd like to distance myself as far away from the 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.760 post as possible from the contents of this book. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.960 And that is not Yeah, that's not a lie. That 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:24.520 is not a lie. 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.480 That was that that quote was a joke. But when 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.080 we go I gave him the book, he didn't. He's 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:28.480 not heavy. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:29.400 I think he spent on it. 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.640 I guess you don't get to decide yourself what the 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:33.679 what the line is? 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.560 Yeah, what the line is? People will find it. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:41.959 Yeah, this will find it. That's actually that's true. They'll 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.120 never flick through. They'll let us know what the quote is. 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.800 It'll sell us books, it'll sell us books. Yeah, but 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:54.000 out Tuesday. Ideal ideal gift for for Christmas.

Have a 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.360 read of it. It's full of the most lunatic stories 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.959 that we've been up to. There's a few lies in there, 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.560 but you know, you decide which is which is fact 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:13.240 and which is fiction. 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.480 We're about to discuss the delivery we had in the office. 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:18.680 Speaking of Christmas presents. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.719 Oh yes, yes, the Rebel Sport, Yes, e y c 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:27.000 range oh man. The The new bat that we've releasing 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.920 this year is a backyard cricket bat, a plastic hollowed 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:34.040 out backyard cricket bat which I can describe as what 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.719 David Warner uses. Yeah, it's the same shape as a 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.880 David Water crooker barrough. It's basically thick ass. But it's 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.280 a key cricket bat. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:43.680 Yeah. 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.360 So it's plastic, just like your picture, your classic plastic 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.319 cricketyard backyard cricket bat, but is massive. 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:52.480 It's called the Punisher. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.800 It's called the punisher, punish you by name, Punisha by nature. Yeah, 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.280 this is the first thing that you're going to reach 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.160 for if you are going down to the beach, if 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.040 you're going down to the bad you see this thing, 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.240 like yeah, yeah, my cousin, my nephew, my kid is 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:04.880 getting cut. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.480 We've got the entire by C range, actually balls, many 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.840 mini bats, mini sets, the whole B y C set 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.320 which we're doing to pay at forward, so everyone you buy, 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:15.400 go one goes to charity. 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.280 They're going to all be available end of October at 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.480 Rebel Sports, so look out for that. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.600 I'd suggest kind of Black Monday, Black Friday, Cyber Monday 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.079 is the way to get in those ones. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.319 They'll go pretty quick. There's a great range, actually it's tremendous. 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.800 We've got the swing balls, we've got soft on the 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.760 globe ball, there's the reaction ball. Have you seen that one, 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.480 which is basically shaped like a meteorite and just bounced 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:41.200 in the direction. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.679 So that's quite a good one. We have got your 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.720 Christmas sorted. Absolutely. 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:48.800 I'm going to punch a bunch of that ship for 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.280 my Christmas shopping. Actually, all right, let's talk. Let's take 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.760 a quick break and we'll come back with some vaguely 0:13:54.800 --> 0:14:01.960 sports adjacent ship what's going on on New Zealand Rugby League, 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.199 Auckland Rugbyukland Rugby and New ze Own Rugby League of 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:06.000 Wayne In as well. 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.600 So from what I understand, a new CEO came in 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.880 who and she's gone. She's come from a corporate background 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.880 and come in and going okay, there's no processes, there's 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.440 no governance, there's no nothing going on here at Auckland 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:23.440 Rugby League, Auckland Rugby League. I wouldn't say wealthy, but 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.640 they're not too bad off because I've got the Carlor 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.080 Park Trust which those who don't know where Carlo Park is, 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:33.800 it's pretty much downtown Auckland Stanley Street. They sold Carlor 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.000 Park and the apartments on it now so they made 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:36.960 a wad of money. 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.960 So it's where the it is where the. 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.800 Tennis kind of as ye down further towards the water 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.640 from there. So they they got they set up a 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.280 trust which has a bit of money in it. So 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.720 they've got a bit of money floating around. But they've 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.880 come along and the new CEO has come along and 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.400 said this is not right. There's dodgy shit going on 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:02.400 these conflicts of interest. So she's can mentioned a PwC report, yes, 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.360 which is not cheap. And so the first thing that 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.920 the current board have gone now that you're wasting money, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:08.680 blah blah blah. 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.640 PwC come back with an initial report, I will tell 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:12.240 you who's wasted. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.920 And so the three of the three board members have 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:19.040 been suspended due to just gross conflicts of interest of 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.160 them using their own accounting firms. One of the employees 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.640 has been accused of spending one hundred and eighty thousand 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.880 dollars in fake invoices and credit cards and spending it 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.680 at scott City. So it's up that it's all a 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:34.520 shit show. But then the board of Auckland Rugby obviously 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.080 Oork Rugby League have appealed to New Zealand Rugby League 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.160 and New Zealand Rugby League have then sent a note 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.360 to all of the rugby league clubs in Auckland saying 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.800 that the current governance of Auckland we're not happy with it. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.040 Are you the new CEO or this? 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.800 So that's an old boys club going on infid and 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.720 New Zealand Rugby League said that we don't believe that 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:55.760 the current board is viable. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:56.560 Blah blah blah. 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.480 Orka Rugby League come out and you can't govern anything 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:00.880 to do with that new zeon Ra but you can 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.160 go fuck off. And so this battle starting between News 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.800 and rugby League. But the final PwC report I think 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:11.240 has just been released and the chairman of the board 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.320 is arguing it from Ukaway League. But he's the one 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.480 that's using his own accounting firm to do the accounts 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.280 and tens of thousands of dollars of being build to 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.560 his own company without declaring the conflict. 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.280 It's just messy as all bugglers. 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.040 It's basically what you would expect from a PwC investigation 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:28.960 into the alternative commentary. 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.480 Oh my god, where's the checks and balances? 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.800 Yeah that's true, but yeah, it's it's probably what needs 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.240 to happen because rugby league is growing massively in New 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:42.760 Zealand and you can't have a mickey mouse operation, especially 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.200 in Auckland. And that's I think they've just been running 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.520 it like that and the past is that'll do, it'll do. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.680 And I think this new CEO has come in from 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.640 corporate background goes this is fuck. There's no absolutely no processes, 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.640 checks and balances in this organization, which actually has quite 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.880 a bit of cash. And it also details the fuck 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.720 when they bought the Warriors and lost four million dollars man, yeah, yeah, 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.480 and the chairman went out on his own, negotiated the 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.320 deal and board it without consulting the board like shit 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:07.720 like that. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.600 Yeah, and then it went shit. They lost four million dollars, 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.560 which is quite a big amount. It's not nothing. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.240 Yeah, So apparently there's about seven million dollars that's gone 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.119 all yeah, allegedly. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.080 So this is very timely because it needs to be 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.560 sorted out because you know, the Warriors, despite the disappointing season, 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.639 they just had still on the up. You would have 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.280 to say the pendulum is still swinging up. And they 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.680
