00:04:05,307 --> 00:04:08,947
Speaker 3: through to seventh four in the old speak. So kids

70
00:04:08,947 --> 00:04:12,227
Speaker 3: would do perhaps the first couple of years away from

71
00:04:12,427 --> 00:04:14,507
Speaker 3: this campus and then move on to this campus. It's

72

Speaker 3: on the board of the school. Is it possible to

76
00:04:29,147 --> 00:04:32,987
Speaker 3: thrive both academically and in sport? Do you have to

77
00:04:33,107 --> 00:04:36,427
Speaker 3: choose one? And how will this prepare the next generation

78
00:04:36,747 --> 00:04:41,947
Speaker 3: of sports people. Gilbertoka, former All Blacks mental skills coach.

80
00:04:45,947 --> 00:04:49,467
Speaker 3: He knows all about what it takes for high performance

81
00:04:49,667 --> 00:04:52,987
Speaker 3: athletes to succeed and he was also a former high

82
00:04:53,067 --> 00:04:57,027
Speaker 3: school teacher, so who better to talk to on this topic.

83
00:04:57,227 --> 00:05:00,467
Speaker 3: It's great to welcome Gilbert and Oka to Weekend Sport. Gilbert,

84
00:05:00,507 --> 00:05:01,707
Speaker 3: thanks so much for joining us.

85
00:05:01,987 --> 00:05:05,587
Speaker 4: Pere Elliott, nice to be on the show with you.

86
00:05:05,627 --> 00:05:06,467
Speaker 4: Thanks very much.

87
00:05:06,787 --> 00:05:12,107
Speaker 3: What do you make of this charter school's sports proposal

88
00:05:12,187 --> 00:05:14,587
Speaker 3: that is going to come into being from two to

89
00:05:14,707 --> 00:05:17,707
Speaker 3: one twenty twenty six at the nsed CIS and Wellington.

90
00:05:17,707 --> 00:05:19,387
Speaker 3: Are you in favor of the idea?

91
00:05:20,667 --> 00:05:25,827
Speaker 4: Oh? Look, I I think any initiative that you know,

92
00:05:26,107 --> 00:05:29,787
Speaker 4: generally gives young people a better chance to grow, to

93
00:05:29,947 --> 00:05:37,147
Speaker 4: learn and perform deserves attention. And I'm more of the

94
00:05:37,347 --> 00:05:41,547
Speaker 4: elk of embracing the opportunity that it gives to our

95
00:05:41,667 --> 00:05:46,707
Speaker 4: people who make that choice to go down that avenue,

96
00:05:48,027 --> 00:05:51,427
Speaker 4: to you know, to enable them to you know, to

97
00:05:52,187 --> 00:05:55,587
Speaker 4: have a chance at achieving and putting the energy into

98
00:05:55,587 --> 00:05:56,827
Speaker 4: their sport of their choice.

99
00:05:57,067 --> 00:05:59,667
Speaker 3: You've been a teacher, You've also worked in high performance

100
00:05:59,667 --> 00:06:03,267
Speaker 3: sport environments, So what are the fundamentals that they need

101
00:06:03,307 --> 00:06:05,547
Speaker 3: to get right for these kids?

102
00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:09,507
Speaker 4: Well? Yeah, I thought about that. My role at Hilmot

103
00:06:09,627 --> 00:06:13,587
Speaker 4: High School and you know, I aim to develop high

104
00:06:13,587 --> 00:06:17,787
Speaker 4: performing elite athletes in the sport of volleyball, and at

105
00:06:17,827 --> 00:06:21,827
Speaker 4: times the traditional model doesn't fit, you know, it doesn't

106
00:06:21,827 --> 00:06:25,667
Speaker 4: have the flexibility that allows individuals who at a certain

107
00:06:25,707 --> 00:06:29,347
Speaker 4: point in their life are getting their development through sport

108
00:06:29,907 --> 00:06:33,067
Speaker 4: to really encompass that and a lot of the traditional

109
00:06:33,147 --> 00:06:37,587
Speaker 4: modes are forced upon them. I've learned in my work

110
00:06:37,787 --> 00:06:41,187
Speaker 4: that it's not a one size fits all policy. It's

111
00:06:41,227 --> 00:06:44,547
Speaker 4: a one size fits one And if we can build

112
00:06:44,547 --> 00:06:49,147
Speaker 4: a system around the individual learner or performer and allow

113
00:06:49,187 --> 00:06:52,827
Speaker 4: them to focus on their strengths and their ambitions, I

114
00:06:52,867 --> 00:06:55,867
Speaker 4: think we create an environment where they can grow and

115
00:06:55,947 --> 00:07:00,467
Speaker 4: achieve more than them being trapped inside a traditional model.

116
00:07:00,467 --> 00:07:03,427
Speaker 3: But is there a risk attached to this because these

117
00:07:03,427 --> 00:07:06,867
Speaker 3: are young kids still? You know, some kids starting year

118
00:07:06,867 --> 00:07:08,627
Speaker 3: rely even which is when the school starts, are only

119
00:07:08,667 --> 00:07:12,747
Speaker 3: going to be fourteen, and at that point in time

120
00:07:12,907 --> 00:07:15,787
Speaker 3: they may not have an idea. Everyone wants to be

121
00:07:15,947 --> 00:07:19,947
Speaker 3: the next Messy, the next Dan Carter, whatever it might be.

122
00:07:20,147 --> 00:07:23,067
Speaker 3: But is it a risk focusing on that soul track

123
00:07:23,267 --> 00:07:24,987
Speaker 3: at that age for these kids?

124
00:07:26,107 --> 00:07:28,987
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's a realistic concern. Elliott. I think

125
00:07:29,107 --> 00:07:33,187
Speaker 4: and I've met in my experience as people who do

126
00:07:33,347 --> 00:07:38,827
Speaker 4: know and some are guided, you know, falsely by their

127
00:07:38,907 --> 00:07:41,187
Speaker 4: parents in a way who are trying to live a

128
00:07:41,267 --> 00:07:44,067
Speaker 4: dream that they have through their children. So you know,

129
00:07:44,147 --> 00:07:49,867
Speaker 4: sometimes are forced into a mode of operating. I think,

130
00:07:50,587 --> 00:07:52,947
Speaker 4: you know, and we sort of talk about the fact

131
00:07:52,947 --> 00:07:56,267
Speaker 4: that we want people to develop a wide base of

132
00:07:56,387 --> 00:08:00,827
Speaker 4: diverse skills when they're younger. I think the key for

133
00:08:00,907 --> 00:08:04,707
Speaker 4: this for me is, as with most things, it all

134
00:08:04,747 --> 00:08:07,267
Speaker 4: starts at the top. You know, the critit looking critical

135
00:08:07,427 --> 00:08:13,227
Speaker 4: ingredient is getting that board, that controlling authority right. And

136
00:08:13,307 --> 00:08:16,347
Speaker 4: I understand that's different because the charter school is not

137
00:08:16,427 --> 00:08:20,867
Speaker 4: answerable to the ministry. It's answerable to a different group

138
00:08:20,907 --> 00:08:24,427
Speaker 4: of people. So getting the makeup of the people inside

139
00:08:24,467 --> 00:08:28,787
Speaker 4: that group strong and ensuring that they have systems of

140
00:08:28,907 --> 00:08:33,107
Speaker 4: quality control across the border important. So if you get that,

141
00:08:34,267 --> 00:08:40,027
Speaker 4: I've never met a competent coach who's interested in the

142
00:08:40,067 --> 00:08:44,267
Speaker 4: development of an eighty person that doesn't promote holistic development.

143
00:08:44,427 --> 00:08:48,667
Speaker 4: So I'd imagine that, you know, they'd go board and

144
00:08:48,747 --> 00:08:52,027
Speaker 4: there'd be certain pit stops at a stage where a

145
00:08:52,107 --> 00:08:54,987
Speaker 4: look at are you doing? Is what you're doing right?

146
00:08:54,987 --> 00:08:57,667
Speaker 4: For you? Have we got the right scope? And they

147
00:08:57,747 --> 00:09:00,067
Speaker 4: asked questions and allow opportunities to pivot.

148
00:09:00,387 --> 00:09:03,387
Speaker 3: A lot of your work has been around leadership relationships,

149
00:09:03,427 --> 00:09:06,187
Speaker 3: the mental side of things in sport. How much can

150
00:09:06,227 --> 00:09:10,307
Speaker 3: you learn about that in those formative high school years.

151
00:09:10,387 --> 00:09:13,867
Speaker 4: Huge, You know, once you get a mindset, a growth mindset,

152
00:09:13,907 --> 00:09:18,587
Speaker 4: an opportunity mindset that you see things, you see, possibilities

153
00:09:18,587 --> 00:09:22,067
Speaker 4: are not barriers. And people are expected to have the

154
00:09:22,107 --> 00:09:27,907
Speaker 4: mental performance skill sets just because they participate in sport.

155
00:09:28,867 --> 00:09:32,907
Speaker 4: Once you understand that, they are a tool that you

156
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:36,027
Speaker 4: can learn and you can refine and you can develop,

157
00:09:36,867 --> 00:09:39,227
Speaker 4: just like you do the other skills. You know, we

158
00:09:39,267 --> 00:09:41,787
Speaker 4: do know that your skill sets don't work if your

159
00:09:41,787 --> 00:09:46,547
Speaker 4: mindset's not right. So why don't we spend time teaching children,

160
00:09:46,867 --> 00:09:51,107
Speaker 4: teaching individuals how to manage the emotions that a company

161
00:09:51,507 --> 00:09:55,267
Speaker 4: elite sporting environments. So I think it's a wonderful opportunity

162
00:09:55,347 --> 00:10:01,227
Speaker 4: to actually structure a program of development in this area

163
00:10:01,387 --> 00:10:04,787
Speaker 4: that's mostly left up to chance out there in the

164
00:10:04,787 --> 00:10:05,707
Speaker 4: traditional model.

165
00:10:05,867 --> 00:10:08,187
Speaker 3: How would they how would they balance or would you

166
00:10:08,547 --> 00:10:11,227
Speaker 3: foresee them balancing? I suppose the focus on sport and

167
00:10:11,427 --> 00:10:13,667
Speaker 3: that being the purpose of the school, but also I

168
00:10:13,667 --> 00:10:16,267
Speaker 3: guess trying to ground them in society and you know,

169
00:10:16,387 --> 00:10:18,347
Speaker 3: learning that the basics that you do need to learn

170
00:10:18,347 --> 00:10:19,067
Speaker 3: at high school.

171
00:10:19,747 --> 00:10:23,947
Speaker 4: Otherwise, Yeah, well, I think it's sort of you know,

172
00:10:23,987 --> 00:10:28,747
Speaker 4: they're not rivals. You know, education and those developments and

173
00:10:28,907 --> 00:10:33,147
Speaker 4: elite sport development don't compete. You know, in the right environment,

174
00:10:33,947 --> 00:10:37,147
Speaker 4: they can thrive side by side where you sharpened both

175
00:10:37,147 --> 00:10:41,027
Speaker 4: the mind and the body. And i'd imagine if you

176
00:10:41,107 --> 00:10:45,267
Speaker 4: have good providers and a good system and that allows

177
00:10:45,307 --> 00:10:48,707
Speaker 4: you to bring in good mentors and coaches and people

178
00:10:49,347 --> 00:10:53,027
Speaker 4: that have wise eyes as they develop people, that allows

179
00:10:53,147 --> 00:10:56,707
Speaker 4: education and elite performance to live side by side and

180
00:10:56,787 --> 00:11:00,427
Speaker 4: not in conflict. And you know, some of the best

181
00:11:00,547 --> 00:11:05,107
Speaker 4: lessons that people can get in their own personal development

182
00:11:05,667 --> 00:11:10,987
Speaker 4: is from sport, you know, dealing with the disappointment, managing

183
00:11:11,587 --> 00:11:15,667
Speaker 4: losses of form, dealing with other things that come into

184
00:11:15,707 --> 00:11:21,307
Speaker 4: the struggle bucket. And sometimes just normal life doesn't give

185
00:11:21,307 --> 00:11:24,507
Speaker 4: you those tests, doesn't stretch you in a way that

186
00:11:24,667 --> 00:11:27,387
Speaker 4: forces you to find a way to manage your way

187
00:11:27,387 --> 00:11:27,867
Speaker 4: through them.

188
00:11:28,307 --> 00:11:30,947
Speaker 3: What are the kind of things that you can't learn

189
00:11:30,987 --> 00:11:33,067
Speaker 3: at school that you've got to learn by doing, by

190
00:11:33,107 --> 00:11:36,067
Speaker 3: being in a high performance sport environment, by being out

191
00:11:36,107 --> 00:11:40,307
Speaker 3: in society, that maybe a school won't teach you, well.

192
00:11:40,187 --> 00:11:43,587
Speaker 4: I think you know the I understand that this charter

193
00:11:43,627 --> 00:11:46,347
Speaker 4: school is dealing with just two sports, I think rugby

194
00:11:46,347 --> 00:11:50,307
Speaker 4: and football. So automatically you're into a team environment, so

195
00:11:51,347 --> 00:11:53,827
Speaker 4: you're no longer the center of attention. You've got to

196
00:11:54,387 --> 00:11:57,867
Speaker 4: you've got to give to other people. You've got to

197
00:11:58,547 --> 00:12:01,267
Speaker 4: apply disciplines to the way in once you go about

198
00:12:01,307 --> 00:12:04,747
Speaker 4: doing things. So you've got to get up at certain times,

199
00:12:04,787 --> 00:12:07,227
Speaker 4: and you've got to commit to training in the dark.

200
00:12:07,267 --> 00:12:10,227
Speaker 4: You've got to do things that are not seen by

201
00:12:10,267 --> 00:12:16,187
Speaker 4: other people to enable people to achieve the things that

202
00:12:16,227 --> 00:12:20,387
Speaker 4: they want to actually achieve. So there's a whole host

203
00:12:20,547 --> 00:12:25,867
Speaker 4: of disciplines. I think that sport you can only get

204
00:12:25,867 --> 00:12:31,267
Speaker 4: through sport or some other professional activities, and you know,

205
00:12:31,947 --> 00:12:34,307
Speaker 4: you know, you need an environment that fosters that and

206
00:12:34,667 --> 00:12:37,547
Speaker 4: identifies the skill sets to help you navigate it.

207
00:12:37,787 --> 00:12:40,307
Speaker 3: Gilbert and Oka with us a couple of final questions. Gilbert,

208
00:12:40,347 --> 00:12:43,107
Speaker 3: so grateful for your time. What would the ideal students

209
00:12:43,747 --> 00:12:46,867
Speaker 3: look like when they graduate high school? This high school?

210
00:12:46,867 --> 00:12:47,907
Speaker 3: What would they look like to you?

211
00:12:49,747 --> 00:12:52,947
Speaker 4: I look, the thing I kind of like about where

212
00:12:52,987 --> 00:12:57,547
Speaker 4: this thing's headed is that you know, they'll select people

213
00:12:57,587 --> 00:13:01,747
Speaker 4: that have ambition and I think that's important. I'd like

214
00:13:01,827 --> 00:13:05,147
Speaker 4: to think that a system like this will spit out

215
00:13:05,187 --> 00:13:10,267
Speaker 4: an individual that's theoped competencies and capabilities in their chosen

216
00:13:10,387 --> 00:13:14,627
Speaker 4: field of endeavor. That they've learned to understand themselves a

217
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:17,947
Speaker 4: bit better, so how they are, how they deal with success,

218
00:13:17,987 --> 00:13:21,027
Speaker 4: how they deal with failure, how they deal with disappointment.

219
00:13:21,627 --> 00:13:24,187
Speaker 4: I'd like to think that they've developed aspects of their

220
00:13:24,267 --> 00:13:29,707
Speaker 4: own character. You know, any pathway to success that doesn't

221
00:13:29,747 --> 00:13:32,867
Speaker 4: involve in development of character is always hollowed to me.

222
00:13:33,587 --> 00:13:38,627
Speaker 4: And so this particular course in schooling needs to ensure

223
00:13:39,027 --> 00:13:41,787
Speaker 4: that that occurs. And then when they come out, they

224
00:13:41,867 --> 00:13:45,667
Speaker 4: have some opportunities to advance themselves, not only in sport,

225
00:13:45,747 --> 00:13:51,987
Speaker 4: but in other endeavors, because ultimately, sport tests you against

226
00:13:52,027 --> 00:13:54,027
Speaker 4: yourself and you find out a lot of things about

227
00:13:54,067 --> 00:13:56,627
Speaker 4: who you are, what you want, and where you want

228
00:13:56,627 --> 00:14:00,667
Speaker 4: to head. And I'd like to think people will come

229
00:14:00,707 --> 00:14:04,547
Speaker 4: out having grown in lots of different areas and being

230
00:14:04,587 --> 00:14:08,387
Speaker 4: able to pursue opportunities that they may not have seen beforehand.

231
00:14:08,587 --> 00:14:11,507
Speaker 3: So Gilbert and I guess, in summary, if you're a

232
00:14:11,627 --> 00:14:13,947
Speaker 3: parent that's got a young kid that's on the verge

233
00:14:13,947 --> 00:14:16,227
Speaker 3: of high school, you think going to that school, I

234
00:14:16,227 --> 00:14:18,707
Speaker 3: mean it would be a step in the right direction

235
00:14:18,947 --> 00:14:23,187
Speaker 3: for a young kid that's looking to follow a sporting career.

236
00:14:24,507 --> 00:14:28,107
Speaker 4: Look, I think many roads, one destination. You know, this

237
00:14:28,147 --> 00:14:32,507
Speaker 4: isn't the part. It's just another part, and it's another

238
00:14:32,587 --> 00:14:37,307
Speaker 4: revenue for people to choose as they look to develop

239
00:14:37,387 --> 00:14:42,187
Speaker 4: their careers. And it's a legitimate route on the athletes

240
00:14:42,267 --> 00:14:46,027
Speaker 4: map to high performance. And so I think it's you know,

241
00:14:46,147 --> 00:14:48,627
Speaker 4: if it is a path and it is available to

242
00:14:48,707 --> 00:14:52,667
Speaker 4: someone and it fits and this is it's a one

243
00:14:52,747 --> 00:14:57,067
Speaker 4: size fits one model again, then why not. You know,

244
00:14:57,587 --> 00:15:00,867
Speaker 4: people have just got to be careful that when they

245
00:15:00,907 --> 00:15:04,347
Speaker 4: hear the word charter that they don't allow an unconscious

246
00:15:04,387 --> 00:15:08,467
Speaker 4: bias of politics to invade what it actually is. You know,

247
00:15:08,507 --> 00:15:11,747
Speaker 4: when I hear that, I look at this, I think possibility.

248
00:15:12,027 --> 00:15:15,547
Speaker 4: What's the possibility that I see to enhance my skill

249
00:15:15,587 --> 00:15:19,307
Speaker 4: sets to enable me to develop myself in a way

250
00:15:19,307 --> 00:15:22,507
Speaker 4: that gives me other opportunities as an athlete as I

251
00:15:22,587 --> 00:15:23,827
Speaker 4: venture out into the world.

252
00:15:24,347 --> 00:15:26,187
Speaker 3: Indeed, well, Gil, but it's going to be fascinating to

253
00:15:26,187 --> 00:15:28,587
Speaker 3: see how the school develops over the coming years and

254
00:15:28,587 --> 00:15:30,627
Speaker 3: what kind of students come out of it. Thank you

255
00:15:30,667 --> 00:15:32,627
Speaker 3: so much for your time on Newstalk ZB this afternoon.

256
00:15:32,707 --> 00:15:33,267
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.

257
00:15:33,987 --> 00:15:36,307
Speaker 4: You're welcome earlier. Thanks very much, Thank.

258
00:15:36,147 --> 00:15:38,707
Speaker 3: You, Gilbert. Gilbert and Oka there who has worked with

259
00:15:38,867 --> 00:15:41,947
Speaker 3: any number of high performance sporting environments, the All Blacks,

260
00:15:41,987 --> 00:15:45,907
Speaker 3: black Caps, England Crickets, Chelsea Football Club, but also been

261
00:15:45,947 --> 00:15:48,227
Speaker 3: a high school teacher and I think offered a really

262
00:15:48,347 --> 00:15:51,067
Speaker 3: unique perspective there as to whether this is going to

263
00:15:51,107 --> 00:15:54,187
Speaker 3: be a good idea or not. I'm keen for your

264
00:15:54,267 --> 00:15:56,787
Speaker 3: views on this. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine

265
00:15:56,867 --> 00:16:00,827
Speaker 3: two ninety two for a text message parents out there,

266
00:16:00,867 --> 00:16:05,747
Speaker 3: would you consider sending your kids to the school term

267
00:16:05,867 --> 00:16:10,227
Speaker 3: one twenty six next year year elevens to thirteens. Now,

268
00:16:10,267 --> 00:16:11,907
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if they're picking up just year elevens

269
00:16:11,907 --> 00:16:14,467
Speaker 3: next year and taking them through the next couple of years.

270
00:16:14,467 --> 00:16:18,187
Speaker 3: But if you've got a budding young sports player that

271
00:16:18,347 --> 00:16:20,707
Speaker 3: is looking at rugby, looking at football, those are the

272
00:16:20,707 --> 00:16:23,867
Speaker 3: two sports they're looking at at the moment. Is this

273
00:16:23,987 --> 00:16:28,187
Speaker 3: something as apparent you'd be interested in. I have a

274
00:16:28,227 --> 00:16:32,667
Speaker 3: couple of reservations around it, and I guess the proof

275
00:16:32,707 --> 00:16:35,587
Speaker 3: will be in the pudding. I don't want us creating

276
00:16:36,827 --> 00:16:41,507
Speaker 3: robots essentially that go into sports environments. We know the

277
00:16:41,547 --> 00:16:44,147
Speaker 3: pathways now, and kids are plucked out of high school

278
00:16:44,187 --> 00:16:47,267
Speaker 3: anyway out of first fifteen. They're targeted and signed by

279
00:16:47,667 --> 00:16:50,587
Speaker 3: super rugby teams into their academies or NRAL clubs, and

280
00:16:50,587 --> 00:16:53,787
Speaker 3: we're talking the over ball there, and they don't get

281
00:16:53,787 --> 00:16:56,067
Speaker 3: any life experience, and that life experience is really hard

282
00:16:56,107 --> 00:16:58,507
Speaker 3: to come by. But I think you'd get more life

283
00:16:58,587 --> 00:17:02,507
Speaker 3: experience at a regular high school. There may be a

284
00:17:02,547 --> 00:17:06,227
Speaker 3: sports focused one oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine

285
00:17:06,227 --> 00:17:10,267
Speaker 3: two known two for a text message, Would you send

286
00:17:10,267 --> 00:17:13,387
Speaker 3: your kids there? If they're showing some promise as a

287
00:17:13,387 --> 00:17:15,787
Speaker 3: as I say, a rugby player or a footballer, is

288
00:17:15,787 --> 00:17:17,987
Speaker 3: this something that you might go? Actually, we're going to

289
00:17:18,107 --> 00:17:21,707
Speaker 3: leave the school at ar ten and head to this

290
00:17:21,787 --> 00:17:25,787
Speaker 3: charter sports school. Ian's called an Afternoonan.

291
00:17:27,107 --> 00:17:28,947
Speaker 5: Afternoon Earliot, how are you doing today?

292
00:17:29,027 --> 00:17:31,227
Speaker 3: I'm great? How are you good?

293
00:17:31,267 --> 00:17:34,067
Speaker 5: Thanks? I'm just on this charter school thing. I mean,

294
00:17:34,147 --> 00:17:37,147
Speaker 5: I'm actually all for it. I think that's a great idea,

295
00:17:38,707 --> 00:17:41,347
Speaker 5: but I'm just saying that you're producer. I think this

296
00:17:41,507 --> 00:17:43,587
Speaker 5: is going to go down the college system of the

297
00:17:43,707 --> 00:17:48,667
Speaker 5: United States. You know, how they have to have student

298
00:17:48,827 --> 00:17:54,107
Speaker 5: academic standards to actually play their sport. And I think

299
00:17:54,987 --> 00:18:01,627
Speaker 5: if this is to be excess or to come to

300
00:18:01,867 --> 00:18:05,427
Speaker 5: fruition for these students, they have to do that.

301
00:18:06,907 --> 00:18:10,067
Speaker 3: I think you're right that we can't have just the

302
00:18:10,387 --> 00:18:12,787
Speaker 3: focus on sport being the be all and end, or

303
00:18:12,787 --> 00:18:15,627
Speaker 3: there has to be some academic side to it that

304
00:18:15,707 --> 00:18:19,067
Speaker 3: they can guess focus on their sport, but they've still

305
00:18:19,067 --> 00:18:21,227
Speaker 3: got to do the basics that are going to ground

306
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:23,387
Speaker 3: them in life. If sport doesn't work out for.

307
00:18:23,347 --> 00:18:26,707
Speaker 5: Them, well that's that's the whole deal I'm giving it.

308
00:18:26,947 --> 00:18:30,267
Speaker 5: It's just the whole college system. And well you know

309
00:18:30,307 --> 00:18:33,427
Speaker 5: as well as I do, what that's all about. If

310
00:18:33,467 --> 00:18:37,867
Speaker 5: you don't make it in your academic studies, your sporting

311
00:18:39,107 --> 00:18:42,787
Speaker 5: career basically comes to an end.

312
00:18:43,347 --> 00:18:45,307
Speaker 3: That's right, and you'd hope that they give you them

313
00:18:45,307 --> 00:18:47,947
Speaker 3: the grounding. I think it ultimately it's a good thing

314
00:18:47,987 --> 00:18:50,947
Speaker 3: to set these kids up in a sporting career. But

315
00:18:51,227 --> 00:18:53,387
Speaker 3: as you and I know, and you know, a fraction

316
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:56,267
Speaker 3: of the kids that play first fifteen at school actually

317
00:18:56,267 --> 00:18:58,707
Speaker 3: go on and play super rugby or first eleven football,

318
00:18:58,747 --> 00:19:01,067
Speaker 3: go on and actually play football to a level that

319
00:19:01,107 --> 00:19:02,107
Speaker 3: they can get paid for it.

320
00:19:02,947 --> 00:19:05,507
Speaker 5: That's true, and all good, you know, and all good

321
00:19:05,587 --> 00:19:09,387
Speaker 5: luck to them when I'm that, and I hope this

322
00:19:09,467 --> 00:19:12,107
Speaker 5: thing really really does work out. I think it's a

323
00:19:12,107 --> 00:19:19,107
Speaker 5: great concept, but the annoyed, humble opinion, the academic side

324
00:19:19,387 --> 00:19:22,107
Speaker 5: has to come through as well. In fact, I think

325
00:19:22,107 --> 00:19:23,227
Speaker 5: it has to shine more.

326
00:19:24,547 --> 00:19:28,347
Speaker 3: What should be a perhaps a reward. You know you'll hear,

327
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:30,267
Speaker 3: but you know this is part of it. That we

328
00:19:30,347 --> 00:19:34,107
Speaker 3: expect high expectations and because you're here, we're going to

329
00:19:34,187 --> 00:19:38,027
Speaker 3: we need you to. I guess both sides. Be strong academically,

330
00:19:38,107 --> 00:19:39,467
Speaker 3: but be strong sporting as well.

331
00:19:40,147 --> 00:19:40,387
Speaker 4: Well.

332
00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:42,187
Speaker 5: Of course you don't. You just sit the nail on

333
00:19:42,227 --> 00:19:46,147
Speaker 5: the head before If by chance, as you just said,

334
00:19:47,107 --> 00:19:51,787
Speaker 5: there might be one and a hundred kids, be it netballers,

335
00:19:51,907 --> 00:19:55,627
Speaker 5: hockey players, or whatever the case may be, maybe one

336
00:19:55,627 --> 00:19:58,787
Speaker 5: out of one hundred will make it that elite level.

337
00:19:59,067 --> 00:20:03,947
Speaker 5: If that, and I'm only guessing those stats. And this

338
00:20:04,107 --> 00:20:07,427
Speaker 5: is why the academic side comes back to it, because

339
00:20:10,027 --> 00:20:12,707
Speaker 5: by a chance, you don't get to that elite level

340
00:20:12,747 --> 00:20:17,027
Speaker 5: of the sport that you're actually going for, you've got

341
00:20:17,107 --> 00:20:18,107
Speaker 5: something to fall back on.

342
00:20:18,667 --> 00:20:20,667
Speaker 3: I think that's really importantly, and as well that they

343
00:20:20,747 --> 00:20:22,947
Speaker 3: do have something to fall back on. You'd hate for

344
00:20:23,667 --> 00:20:27,467
Speaker 3: a promising kid to come out of the school and

345
00:20:27,507 --> 00:20:31,387
Speaker 3: then they do a serious leg injury, whatever it might be,

346
00:20:31,467 --> 00:20:34,147
Speaker 3: are told that they can't play again. You know, we've

347
00:20:34,147 --> 00:20:36,907
Speaker 3: all heard stories of players that could have been anything,

348
00:20:36,947 --> 00:20:39,147
Speaker 3: but then they get cut down by an injury and

349
00:20:39,147 --> 00:20:43,067
Speaker 3: they've just spent three years in a sporting environment that

350
00:20:43,227 --> 00:20:46,147
Speaker 3: is all they know. Is that going to set them

351
00:20:46,227 --> 00:20:50,147
Speaker 3: up to change the path of their life? O eight

352
00:20:50,147 --> 00:20:52,387
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine two for

353
00:20:52,427 --> 00:20:55,267
Speaker 3: a text message. An interesting point of view there from Ian.

354
00:20:55,467 --> 00:20:59,187
Speaker 3: Let's go to bell evening after afternoon Bill, you got

355
00:20:59,227 --> 00:21:00,067
Speaker 3: a look.

356
00:21:00,107 --> 00:21:02,587
Speaker 6: I'm just in two minds about only turned on a

357
00:21:02,667 --> 00:21:07,667
Speaker 6: few months ago about this academy because it'll be it'll

358
00:21:07,707 --> 00:21:10,707
Speaker 6: be very good. And I used to be involved in

359
00:21:10,787 --> 00:21:13,467
Speaker 6: primary school cricket and rugby and that years ago very

360
00:21:13,507 --> 00:21:19,907
Speaker 6: good for catching those kids twelve a sitting or fourteen

361
00:21:20,267 --> 00:21:25,747
Speaker 6: who go nowhere when they leave primary school where the

362
00:21:25,787 --> 00:21:30,867
Speaker 6: clubs really look after, especially in Willington, these primary school kids. Now,

363
00:21:31,467 --> 00:21:33,627
Speaker 6: I've had so many guys that I thought would be

364
00:21:34,027 --> 00:21:38,627
Speaker 6: future All Blacks or whatever drift away because they didn't

365
00:21:38,787 --> 00:21:42,347
Speaker 6: go to the big schools, you know, you know, the

366
00:21:42,387 --> 00:21:44,787
Speaker 6: big single tech schools, et cetera. They may have gone

367
00:21:44,787 --> 00:21:48,787
Speaker 6: to the co edes where sport isn't sort of predominant,

368
00:21:49,067 --> 00:21:53,547
Speaker 6: and it's very good for them, But what does he

369
00:21:53,667 --> 00:21:56,507
Speaker 6: get academy going to do is going to sort of

370
00:21:57,387 --> 00:22:00,907
Speaker 6: pillage the big schools for their players' house silver Stream

371
00:22:00,947 --> 00:22:03,027
Speaker 6: and Wellington College that are going to get on and

372
00:22:03,067 --> 00:22:06,507
Speaker 6: their things. Are their most promising players going to be

373
00:22:06,587 --> 00:22:11,107
Speaker 6: taken away to academies at fifteen or sixteen or whatever

374
00:22:11,547 --> 00:22:15,507
Speaker 6: you know age it is, and what damage it will do. Also,

375
00:22:15,867 --> 00:22:18,987
Speaker 6: the system of just concentrating on the sport that is,

376
00:22:19,227 --> 00:22:22,667
Speaker 6: et cetera, will not give a kid the balance they

377
00:22:22,707 --> 00:22:26,707
Speaker 6: would get at you know, one of the old traditional schools,

378
00:22:26,867 --> 00:22:32,667
Speaker 6: et cetera, that not just academical sport but other things,

379
00:22:32,747 --> 00:22:35,627
Speaker 6: et cetera, self discipline, all those sorts of things and

380
00:22:35,787 --> 00:22:38,227
Speaker 6: so on. So I'm actually in two minds at the moment.

381
00:22:38,627 --> 00:22:41,987
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a good point, Bill, because being

382
00:22:42,667 --> 00:22:46,107
Speaker 3: amongst peers at high school where yes, one kid's interested

383
00:22:46,107 --> 00:22:47,867
Speaker 3: in sport and sees that as a career, but another

384
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:50,667
Speaker 3: one might be wanted to be an astrophysicist or another

385
00:22:50,707 --> 00:22:53,787
Speaker 3: one's going to be an accountant or an economics economists,

386
00:22:53,787 --> 00:22:56,547
Speaker 3: and you rub off on each other. You learn about

387
00:22:56,547 --> 00:22:58,787
Speaker 3: different people at that stage of your life and while

388
00:22:58,787 --> 00:23:01,947
Speaker 3: you're still developing, rather than being on that full sport mindset.

389
00:23:02,867 --> 00:23:05,787
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. Well, look when I was at boarding

390
00:23:05,827 --> 00:23:10,027
Speaker 6: school years ago, etc. That you could get you could

391
00:23:10,067 --> 00:23:12,907
Speaker 6: have rugby practice three or four times a day because

392
00:23:12,947 --> 00:23:15,187
Speaker 6: you had three hundred boarders in the boarding house and

393
00:23:15,267 --> 00:23:18,027
Speaker 6: so on. And you know, first fifteen, second fifteens were

394
00:23:18,027 --> 00:23:21,147
Speaker 6: always playing themselves, you know, things to do, and they

395
00:23:21,187 --> 00:23:25,067
Speaker 6: had that advantage over non boarding schools. That's why so

396
00:23:25,147 --> 00:23:28,187
Speaker 6: many schools around the country, state schools have opened hostels

397
00:23:28,187 --> 00:23:30,347
Speaker 6: in recent years to get those kids who used to

398
00:23:30,427 --> 00:23:32,747
Speaker 6: go to the you know, the big old schools. But

399
00:23:33,627 --> 00:23:37,347
Speaker 6: I think that that balance is just so important, you know,

400
00:23:38,387 --> 00:23:41,027
Speaker 6: if mixing and talking with others outside of a group

401
00:23:41,107 --> 00:23:44,907
Speaker 6: of elite athletes. So I'm I'm a bit concerned at

402
00:23:44,907 --> 00:23:47,307
Speaker 6: the moment, but you know, let's give it a chance

403
00:23:47,347 --> 00:23:51,747
Speaker 6: to bose and sort of see what happens. But you know,

404
00:23:51,907 --> 00:23:54,027
Speaker 6: I was involved in rugby for a long time, you know,

405
00:23:54,787 --> 00:23:58,147
Speaker 6: and directing it all sorts of things. When I was

406
00:23:58,187 --> 00:24:02,627
Speaker 6: with the NSIBC years ago, so I'm sort of worried about.

407
00:24:03,267 --> 00:24:06,947
Speaker 6: And in Willington we get absolutely no publicity on love rugby.

408
00:24:06,947 --> 00:24:10,667
Speaker 6: In school rugby, what we read on our morning paper

409
00:24:10,787 --> 00:24:15,787
Speaker 6: comes from Hamilton or Auckland and it's shopping. But and

410
00:24:15,907 --> 00:24:18,227
Speaker 6: that is what rugby is suffering.

411
00:24:18,467 --> 00:24:21,227
Speaker 3: Yeah, it needs that, it needs that presence. Yeah, Bill,

412
00:24:21,227 --> 00:24:23,347
Speaker 3: I appreciate that that point of view. Look, I think

413
00:24:23,347 --> 00:24:25,307
Speaker 3: you make some interesting points on both sides, and as

414
00:24:25,347 --> 00:24:27,747
Speaker 3: you said, you're on the fence about it and maybe

415
00:24:27,747 --> 00:24:31,227
Speaker 3: worthy of a shot at this point. Oh eight hundred

416
00:24:31,227 --> 00:24:33,107
Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty nine two nine two from Bill'

417
00:24:33,147 --> 00:24:36,907
Speaker 3: subminiging for a text. Asmonaging pointed, some view there from

418
00:24:36,907 --> 00:24:42,067
Speaker 3: Bill and Ian around it. This New Zealand Performance Academy

419
00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:46,587
Speaker 3: ALTUT as it's called. We're based at the NCCIS and

420
00:24:46,627 --> 00:24:49,267
Speaker 3: I was looking around the website to see what an

421
00:24:49,347 --> 00:24:51,347
Speaker 3: ideal day was and they've got a timetable which I

422
00:24:51,347 --> 00:24:54,267
Speaker 3: thought was interesting. So on Monday they start with a CUTAKA,

423
00:24:54,587 --> 00:24:57,387
Speaker 3: then it's maths and business, then it's a break, then

424
00:24:57,387 --> 00:25:00,347
Speaker 3: it's a double period of sport and study. Then it's lunch,

425
00:25:01,227 --> 00:25:03,627
Speaker 3: then it's health and pe and it's another break, then

426
00:25:03,667 --> 00:25:07,987
Speaker 3: it's science to finish. That's a sample schedule, but you

427
00:25:08,027 --> 00:25:10,907
Speaker 3: do you do the maths, you do English, you do business,

428
00:25:10,987 --> 00:25:13,107
Speaker 3: you do science. You obviously do a lot of sport

429
00:25:13,147 --> 00:25:15,147
Speaker 3: and study. So there is a balance there of trying

430
00:25:15,187 --> 00:25:19,507
Speaker 3: to do other subjects and obviously charter schools you've still

431
00:25:19,547 --> 00:25:21,427
Speaker 3: got to do the basics. You've still got to do,

432
00:25:22,987 --> 00:25:24,827
Speaker 3: you know, the subjects that are going to give you

433
00:25:26,067 --> 00:25:30,267
Speaker 3: a grounding in various fields and get that university entrance. Well,

434
00:25:30,307 --> 00:25:32,507
Speaker 3: I just think think is still in play. Apparent's about

435
00:25:32,507 --> 00:25:34,787
Speaker 3: a correct methods. If it's not, you still have to

436
00:25:34,827 --> 00:25:37,307
Speaker 3: do that. But there is a heavy obviously as you'd expect,

437
00:25:37,467 --> 00:25:39,867
Speaker 3: sport balance oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two

438
00:25:39,947 --> 00:25:41,747
Speaker 3: nine two for a text message. We're also going to

439
00:25:41,747 --> 00:25:45,707
Speaker 3: get secondary school Sport New Zealand their perspective on this

440
00:25:45,827 --> 00:25:47,627
Speaker 3: before the hour is out. But there's a lot of

441
00:25:47,667 --> 00:25:49,067
Speaker 3: texts I want to get to after the rack nine

442
00:25:49,067 --> 00:25:52,347
Speaker 3: two nine two oh eight hundred eighty ten eighteen ch

443
00:25:52,507 --> 00:25:55,947
Speaker 3: talking charter secondary school sports here on news Talk ZB

444
00:25:55,987 --> 00:25:57,387
Speaker 3: where it is twenty eight away from.

445

Speaker 1: One the big issues on and after fields call oh

446
00:26:02,027 --> 00:26:06,347

448
00:26:08,907 --> 00:26:11,107
Speaker 3: It's twenty five away from one on news Talks z'd

449
00:26:11,107 --> 00:26:14,587
Speaker 3: be talking charter schools with the emergence of this new

450
00:26:14,587 --> 00:26:17,027
Speaker 3: school in Wellington at the New Zealand Campus of Institute

451
00:26:17,187 --> 00:26:20,347
Speaker 3: Campus of Innovation in Sport year elevens to thirteen's opening

452
00:26:20,387 --> 00:26:22,427
Speaker 3: term one next year is this is a good move

453
00:26:22,507 --> 00:26:25,827
Speaker 3: for our youngsters that want to take a look at

454
00:26:25,907 --> 00:26:29,747
Speaker 3: sport in the future. Play sport down the track load

455
00:26:29,787 --> 00:26:32,267
Speaker 3: of texts on nine two nine two Bretts with Brett

456
00:26:32,267 --> 00:26:34,547
Speaker 3: with an interesting point. Should we be using the term

457
00:26:34,627 --> 00:26:39,627
Speaker 3: high performance sport at high school? That is a very

458
00:26:39,667 --> 00:26:44,347
Speaker 3: good point, Very good point, Brett. It's an interesting one

459
00:26:44,387 --> 00:26:48,667
Speaker 3: because by year eleven, maybe you know that you do

460
00:26:48,787 --> 00:26:53,227
Speaker 3: want to focus on that high performance sport. Every first

461
00:26:53,227 --> 00:26:56,587
Speaker 3: fifteen program in the country probably considers themselves a high

462
00:26:56,627 --> 00:27:00,107
Speaker 3: performance sports system. Mazz with this. I could only have

463
00:27:00,147 --> 00:27:02,027
Speaker 3: wished for something like this when I was at school.

464
00:27:02,107 --> 00:27:03,827
Speaker 3: School didn't agree with me at all, but if it

465
00:27:03,867 --> 00:27:06,787
Speaker 3: wasn't for my pe teacher, I probably would have ended

466
00:27:06,827 --> 00:27:09,387
Speaker 3: up in jail. I'm excited for what this could do.

467
00:27:10,187 --> 00:27:11,947
Speaker 3: Muzz think he mus that there are a load of texts.

468
00:27:11,947 --> 00:27:14,387
Speaker 3: We'll get to more of them in a moment or so,

469
00:27:14,627 --> 00:27:16,187
Speaker 3: let's say, afternoon too Phil.

470
00:27:16,227 --> 00:27:18,547
Speaker 7: How are you not too bad?

471
00:27:18,627 --> 00:27:18,867
Speaker 8: Thinks?

472
00:27:18,867 --> 00:27:19,827
Speaker 3: How are you good? Thank you?

473
00:27:22,147 --> 00:27:22,387
Speaker 9: Yeah.

474
00:27:22,547 --> 00:27:23,507
Speaker 10: I like the sound of it.

475
00:27:23,547 --> 00:27:27,027
Speaker 11: I think it's going to be a great thing. I

476
00:27:27,067 --> 00:27:30,267
Speaker 11: was really interested with the interview with the fella and okus, sorry,

477
00:27:30,267 --> 00:27:35,947
Speaker 11: I'm just outside those made our car and traffic gard boy. Yeah.

478
00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:38,547
Speaker 11: He he sounds like he's all for it. And if

479
00:27:38,627 --> 00:27:42,667
Speaker 11: he's all for it, then he's pretty he's pretty on

480
00:27:42,707 --> 00:27:46,347
Speaker 11: the money. So exed to listen to. But I was

481
00:27:46,347 --> 00:27:48,827
Speaker 11: my one because my one can sort of concern was

482
00:27:48,867 --> 00:27:51,787
Speaker 11: that the academic side of things, that that gets dropped.

483
00:27:51,787 --> 00:27:54,907
Speaker 11: But sounds like they're still going to be focusing on

484
00:27:55,027 --> 00:27:58,667
Speaker 11: your learning, you know, with math and science and your

485
00:27:58,707 --> 00:28:01,187
Speaker 11: academic side of it. So I think it'll be a

486
00:28:01,187 --> 00:28:05,827
Speaker 11: brilliant thing, you know, for furthering someone's career, if they

487
00:28:06,427 --> 00:28:08,987
Speaker 11: for putting them there and seeing if they want to

488
00:28:09,027 --> 00:28:10,987
Speaker 11: go down that way or giving them the opportunity.

489
00:28:11,227 --> 00:28:13,027
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's it's it's probably not going to

490
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:14,667
Speaker 3: be for everyone, is it. Filled It's not going to

491
00:28:14,747 --> 00:28:16,827
Speaker 3: be for a certain type of student, but then it

492
00:28:16,947 --> 00:28:19,747
Speaker 3: might suit you know, a youngster that is you know,

493
00:28:19,907 --> 00:28:22,867
Speaker 3: definitely wants to be on that course and knows by

494
00:28:22,947 --> 00:28:24,907
Speaker 3: year eleven that that's the life that they want to

495
00:28:24,947 --> 00:28:27,427
Speaker 3: try and follow. But it also gives them that grounding

496
00:28:28,347 --> 00:28:31,747
Speaker 3: that they can fall back on if things go awry

497
00:28:31,787 --> 00:28:33,627
Speaker 3: and they're not up to the standard of being a

498
00:28:33,627 --> 00:28:34,827
Speaker 3: professional sportsperson.

499
00:28:36,067 --> 00:28:39,507
Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, I think so, And I think that's the

500
00:28:40,107 --> 00:28:42,547
Speaker 11: brilliance of it because that's going to give that person

501
00:28:42,587 --> 00:28:46,747
Speaker 11: that opportunity. And like you said, no one's going to

502
00:28:46,787 --> 00:28:48,867
Speaker 11: be forced into it. You know that you're going to

503
00:28:48,987 --> 00:28:51,747
Speaker 11: have to do it and have to go and you like,

504
00:28:52,067 --> 00:28:53,747
Speaker 11: I'm not sure how it all works. But if you

505
00:28:53,907 --> 00:28:56,147
Speaker 11: do it and after a couple of years where you

506
00:28:56,227 --> 00:28:59,307
Speaker 11: go for you you're there for a couple of years

507
00:28:58,987 --> 00:29:02,427
Speaker 11: and you decide that no, it's not what I want

508
00:29:02,467 --> 00:29:06,187
Speaker 11: to do, or I'm not focused enough, or I know

509
00:29:06,347 --> 00:29:08,987
Speaker 11: I'm not going to make it, then you can, you know,

510
00:29:09,067 --> 00:29:12,347
Speaker 11: you can give it up and move on and further

511
00:29:12,427 --> 00:29:14,427
Speaker 11: on with your life and pursue what you want to do.

512
00:29:14,507 --> 00:29:16,227
Speaker 11: But the main thing is that it's going to give

513
00:29:16,347 --> 00:29:21,067
Speaker 11: someone that chance to become I think, you know, develop

514
00:29:21,107 --> 00:29:24,467
Speaker 11: into a professional sportsman in whatever field, if they do

515
00:29:24,627 --> 00:29:27,947
Speaker 11: more than rugby, and at this stage it's just a couple,

516
00:29:27,987 --> 00:29:30,867
Speaker 11: but if they do more, you know it's going to

517
00:29:30,907 --> 00:29:35,227
Speaker 11: be a great aid and further in the person's progress.

518
00:29:35,867 --> 00:29:38,067
Speaker 3: Absolutely. For Yeah, I think you raised some really good points.

519
00:29:38,107 --> 00:29:39,867
Speaker 3: They're nice to chat with you this afternoon. Oh eight

520
00:29:39,947 --> 00:29:42,747
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty nine, two ninety two for

521
00:29:42,907 --> 00:29:45,467
Speaker 3: a text message. And as I said, there are loads

522
00:29:45,507 --> 00:29:46,867
Speaker 3: and I'm just trying to find one that I wanted

523
00:29:46,867 --> 00:29:51,387
Speaker 3: to ask read out before. It was from Janus. It

524
00:29:51,507 --> 00:29:54,347
Speaker 3: was asking when do the Phoenix Academies sort of start?

525
00:29:54,347 --> 00:29:57,227
Speaker 3: And that's around a similar age. And this school seems

526
00:29:57,267 --> 00:30:00,827
Speaker 3: born out of what they're seeing at the Phoenix Academy

527
00:30:00,867 --> 00:30:02,867
Speaker 3: which is on the same site, or you know, through

528
00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:05,627
Speaker 3: the same people that are working there with the Wellington

529
00:30:05,667 --> 00:30:08,027
Speaker 3: Phoenix and go on, can we develop this into a

530
00:30:08,107 --> 00:30:12,027
Speaker 3: charter school? So they're seeing the value in it and

531
00:30:12,067 --> 00:30:14,507
Speaker 3: seeing that this would be more valuable if they can

532
00:30:14,547 --> 00:30:17,667
Speaker 3: get their hands on these kids and utilize them for

533
00:30:17,707 --> 00:30:20,067
Speaker 3: more hours in a day while still giving them their

534
00:30:20,067 --> 00:30:23,467
Speaker 3: academic background they need that they believe there is some

535
00:30:23,587 --> 00:30:26,307
Speaker 3: life in it. Cameron. With this we don't need the school.

536
00:30:26,307 --> 00:30:29,467
Speaker 3: We've already got King's College and Saint Kent's hoovering up

537
00:30:29,587 --> 00:30:34,187
Speaker 3: all the kids on scholarships. Brands as well says, why

538
00:30:34,187 --> 00:30:36,147
Speaker 3: are were blowing out first of thin kids at a

539
00:30:36,147 --> 00:30:38,987
Speaker 3: lot of these top rugby schools never to be seen again.

540
00:30:39,107 --> 00:30:42,307
Speaker 3: That would be a worry for me, and I guess

541
00:30:42,307 --> 00:30:45,627
Speaker 3: it happens at your usual high schools as well. Is

542
00:30:45,667 --> 00:30:50,147
Speaker 3: that often these kids are built up and egos are

543
00:30:50,147 --> 00:30:52,787
Speaker 3: created around them through the school yard or whatever it

544
00:30:52,867 --> 00:30:56,067
Speaker 3: might be. Or they've become the talk of the first

545
00:30:56,067 --> 00:31:00,507
Speaker 3: fifteen competition and the ego becomes very, very high, and

546
00:31:00,547 --> 00:31:04,267
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden they stopped developing. And how

547
00:31:04,267 --> 00:31:08,067
Speaker 3: do they adjust to life outside of high school once

548
00:31:08,107 --> 00:31:13,747
Speaker 3: have been in a sport immersive environment. Brett says, shouldn't

549
00:31:13,747 --> 00:31:15,507
Speaker 3: success of our sports kids be measured by how many

550
00:31:15,547 --> 00:31:22,987
Speaker 3: are going to the services, trades and university? Stephen says, hi,

551
00:31:23,107 --> 00:31:25,147
Speaker 3: I think this charter school has some potential. I can

552
00:31:25,147 --> 00:31:27,827
Speaker 3: see the choice of football and rugby as for sustainability.

553
00:31:28,027 --> 00:31:30,147
Speaker 3: I do wonder what competitions they'll play and to both

554
00:31:30,187 --> 00:31:33,347
Speaker 3: develop both the code and academics. I hope to see

555
00:31:33,347 --> 00:31:35,027
Speaker 3: what other sports will take up. I can see the

556
00:31:35,107 --> 00:31:37,907
Speaker 3: individual sports like tennis or swimming could see some strengths

557
00:31:38,027 --> 00:31:41,227
Speaker 3: rolling as a second hub two, but other team sports

558
00:31:41,827 --> 00:31:46,227
Speaker 3: like hockey might have some problems. Yeah, I think it's

559
00:31:46,227 --> 00:31:47,787
Speaker 3: going to be interesting to see how they develop and

560
00:31:47,787 --> 00:31:50,427
Speaker 3: how long they give rugby and football, and if they

561
00:31:50,467 --> 00:31:54,507
Speaker 3: are able to attract kids to enroll in the school,

562
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:58,747
Speaker 3: and whether they decide to go with those individual sports,

563
00:32:00,747 --> 00:32:03,307
Speaker 3: whether they can go. We're gonna have a cricket academy here,

564
00:32:04,947 --> 00:32:08,787
Speaker 3: whether it's at the Lincoln in christ Church potentially or

565
00:32:08,827 --> 00:32:12,387
Speaker 3: wherever it might be rolling could be it Lake Cutapedo.

566
00:32:12,547 --> 00:32:16,667
Speaker 3: Maybe this could change the face of how we approach

567
00:32:16,707 --> 00:32:19,307
Speaker 3: sport in New Zealand. We've talked a bit about pathways

568
00:32:19,347 --> 00:32:24,147
Speaker 3: and various things around rugby in the past. This may

569
00:32:24,187 --> 00:32:26,227
Speaker 3: become the new gold standard, but I think there's a

570
00:32:26,227 --> 00:32:29,187
Speaker 3: lot of water to go under the bridge as yet.

571
00:32:29,227 --> 00:32:31,347
Speaker 3: Carol says this this is an interesting text. Will this

572
00:32:31,467 --> 00:32:35,707
Speaker 3: only be for families with money? If it looks for

573
00:32:36,187 --> 00:32:39,387
Speaker 3: if it looks at children from families of low socio families,

574
00:32:39,427 --> 00:32:43,387
Speaker 3: I would be for it, Carol. Interestingly, I was looking

575
00:32:43,427 --> 00:32:46,507
Speaker 3: around again to get the full story around this. There

576
00:32:46,547 --> 00:32:50,267
Speaker 3: is no cost to attend this school, which I found

577
00:32:50,427 --> 00:32:56,707
Speaker 3: very interesting. However, specialist training or services like personalized coaching,

578
00:32:56,987 --> 00:33:01,187
Speaker 3: external certifications, or advanced sport programs may occur in additional

579
00:33:01,227 --> 00:33:04,267
Speaker 3: costs that would be discussed and sheeduled individually with each

580
00:33:04,267 --> 00:33:05,787
Speaker 3: student based on the goals in it. So it would

581
00:33:05,827 --> 00:33:07,867
Speaker 3: not have a cost, and I'm sure they're going to

582
00:33:09,067 --> 00:33:11,307
Speaker 3: bring fence the number of people that can apply for it.

583
00:33:11,307 --> 00:33:13,267
Speaker 3: It's not going to be open slather. There will be

584
00:33:13,307 --> 00:33:15,267
Speaker 3: some rules, I'm sure around it, and I don't know

585
00:33:15,307 --> 00:33:19,947
Speaker 3: exactly how that will work when it comes to charter schools,

586
00:33:22,027 --> 00:33:24,827
Speaker 3: but there wouldn't be a cost, so in a similar

587
00:33:24,827 --> 00:33:29,827
Speaker 3: way to I'm sure public high schools, there'd be the

588
00:33:29,907 --> 00:33:34,627
Speaker 3: donation that they ask for or similar things that is

589
00:33:34,707 --> 00:33:37,227
Speaker 3: tagged as non compulsory. But on the surface of it,

590
00:33:37,267 --> 00:33:43,747
Speaker 3: there's no cost to attend this school at nzcis Sports

591
00:33:43,827 --> 00:33:45,867
Speaker 3: Charter School. See is one need to lead lessons from

592
00:33:45,867 --> 00:33:49,107
Speaker 3: premiership academies. Only zero point one percent of a premiership

593
00:33:49,147 --> 00:33:52,307
Speaker 3: academy entrance make it to the premiership and there is

594
00:33:52,307 --> 00:33:55,627
Speaker 3: a huge mental health impact as students drop out. That

595
00:33:55,747 --> 00:33:58,427
Speaker 3: is one thing I would be worried about is the

596
00:33:58,427 --> 00:34:02,147
Speaker 3: mental health side that just because you are enrolled at

597
00:34:02,187 --> 00:34:04,667
Speaker 3: that school which is focused on sport at year eleven,

598
00:34:04,947 --> 00:34:07,827
Speaker 3: does not mean you will be a professional sports person

599
00:34:08,187 --> 00:34:10,387
Speaker 3: at the age of twenty, at the age of twenty five,

600
00:34:10,427 --> 00:34:12,427
Speaker 3: at the age of thirty, and how do you adjust

601
00:34:12,667 --> 00:34:17,387
Speaker 3: to life outside of it? That would be the question

602
00:34:17,467 --> 00:34:19,627
Speaker 3: I would have to ask of these sort of schools.

603
00:34:21,027 --> 00:34:23,107
Speaker 3: How do we set up the kids that don't succeed,

604
00:34:24,027 --> 00:34:25,827
Speaker 3: that aren't going to be professional people that may have

605
00:34:25,827 --> 00:34:27,787
Speaker 3: looked the goods at year eleven, but by the year

606
00:34:27,827 --> 00:34:31,827
Speaker 3: of end of year thirteen, perhaps they haven't kicked on.

607
00:34:32,107 --> 00:34:33,947
Speaker 3: How do we look after those kids? Oh, eight hundred

608
00:34:33,947 --> 00:34:35,667
Speaker 3: and eighty teen eighty nine two nine two for a

609
00:34:35,747 --> 00:34:37,907

Speaker 3: great to have you on the program this afternoon. What

619
00:35:12,027 --> 00:35:14,307
Speaker 3: was your initial reaction when you heard the news.

620
00:35:14,747 --> 00:35:17,547
Speaker 12: Look, it's come of a bit of a surprise. Obviously

621
00:35:17,587 --> 00:35:19,867
Speaker 12: outside of what's been reported in the media, we don't

622
00:35:19,907 --> 00:35:23,987
Speaker 12: have any information or detail about the school or their

623
00:35:23,987 --> 00:35:26,347
Speaker 12: desire to become a member of school Sport in New Zealand.

624
00:35:26,467 --> 00:35:29,147
Speaker 12: So it's I think we need to have a bit

625
00:35:29,147 --> 00:35:31,467
Speaker 12: of a chat with David Dome, and we've reached out

626
00:35:32,027 --> 00:35:34,747
Speaker 12: to the Phoenix to get a better understanding of the

627
00:35:34,787 --> 00:35:38,787
Speaker 12: intent or otherwise to participate in our events. So until

628
00:35:38,787 --> 00:35:42,227
Speaker 12: we really have that chat, there's not much to speculate on.

629
00:35:42,507 --> 00:35:46,107
Speaker 3: Do you think it's a positive for kids around the country.

630
00:35:47,627 --> 00:35:50,507
Speaker 12: Look, charter schools certainly have a lot of flexibility and

631
00:35:50,507 --> 00:35:54,027
Speaker 12: autonomy and how they structure their curriculum. They can offer

632
00:35:54,307 --> 00:35:57,827
Speaker 12: different school hours, specific focuses and so on, and that

633
00:35:57,827 --> 00:36:01,467
Speaker 12: can benefit a group of students who might be underachieving

634
00:36:01,627 --> 00:36:05,867
Speaker 12: or disengaged, or I might have a very clear pathway

635
00:36:05,867 --> 00:36:08,307
Speaker 12: that they want to follow, and in this case sport.

636
00:36:08,587 --> 00:36:11,787
Speaker 12: So you know, for those year eleven students who have

637
00:36:11,987 --> 00:36:15,747
Speaker 12: serious ambitions to become a professional athlete, then this environment

638
00:36:15,787 --> 00:36:17,067
Speaker 12: could certainly support that.

639
00:36:17,907 --> 00:36:21,427
Speaker 3: Do you expect it will fit into your national calendar

640
00:36:22,307 --> 00:36:23,947
Speaker 3: of secondary school sports events?

641
00:36:25,267 --> 00:36:25,507
Speaker 4: Yeah?

642
00:36:25,507 --> 00:36:28,507
Speaker 12: Look, charter schools by definition can become a member of

643
00:36:28,507 --> 00:36:29,507
Speaker 12: school Sport New Zealand.

644
00:36:30,347 --> 00:36:31,907
Speaker 4: What they need to adhere to is.

645
00:36:32,147 --> 00:36:34,867
Speaker 12: The same of every school in New Zealand, so we

646
00:36:35,147 --> 00:36:38,507
Speaker 12: need to have a chat with them to understand curriculum load,

647
00:36:38,587 --> 00:36:43,387
Speaker 12: attendance requirements etc. And like I said, until we have

648
00:36:43,507 --> 00:36:46,187
Speaker 12: that chat, it's probably not right to speculate on what

649
00:36:46,227 --> 00:36:46,827
Speaker 12: that might mean.

650
00:36:47,147 --> 00:36:50,467
Speaker 3: Have you had charter schools, charter schools around the country

651
00:36:50,547 --> 00:36:51,427
Speaker 3: part of it currently?

652
00:36:53,827 --> 00:37:00,467
Speaker 12: Yes, Saint Stephen's sorry Tiffany, are a member have year

653
00:37:00,547 --> 00:37:03,747
Speaker 12: nine students currently enrolled, so they probably don't have the

654
00:37:03,787 --> 00:37:06,987
Speaker 12: mass to participate on a national level right now, but

655
00:37:07,227 --> 00:37:09,787
Speaker 12: you know that we want to work with all schools

656
00:37:09,827 --> 00:37:12,427
Speaker 12: that can meet that criteria to become a member and

657
00:37:12,427 --> 00:37:15,627
Speaker 12: get all those incredible opportunities that exists through the calendar.

658
00:37:16,027 --> 00:37:18,027
Speaker 3: How do you expect schools might react? Is it just

659
00:37:18,067 --> 00:37:21,547
Speaker 3: another school to you know, the other schools? Is it

660
00:37:21,627 --> 00:37:23,667
Speaker 3: just another one that adds to the books or is

661
00:37:23,707 --> 00:37:25,187
Speaker 3: this going to be something outside the box.

662
00:37:26,307 --> 00:37:28,067
Speaker 12: I look, there's certainly a lot of interest. We've been

663
00:37:28,067 --> 00:37:31,307
Speaker 12: fielding a lot of questions from member schools and Principles,

664
00:37:31,347 --> 00:37:36,747
Speaker 12: et cetera. We just need detail. I think it's a

665
00:37:36,747 --> 00:37:40,147
Speaker 12: great opportunity for those kids, But obviously we know that

666
00:37:40,387 --> 00:37:42,627
Speaker 12: the flip side of all the great things that can

667
00:37:42,667 --> 00:37:46,987
Speaker 12: come with that specialization pieces, especially when you're talking about

668
00:37:47,067 --> 00:37:50,147
Speaker 12: sport and professional athletes, it's the one and two percent

669
00:37:50,227 --> 00:37:53,707
Speaker 12: that actually ever go on and make a career out

670
00:37:53,747 --> 00:37:57,347
Speaker 12: of those things. So I would hope that the focus

671
00:37:57,427 --> 00:38:00,907
Speaker 12: right now for that charter school is around the educational component,

672
00:38:01,027 --> 00:38:04,747
Speaker 12: you know, developing what it looks like for the ninety

673
00:38:04,747 --> 00:38:07,507
Speaker 12: odd percent of those that might not actually get a

674
00:38:07,507 --> 00:38:10,027
Speaker 12: professional contract out of all of this, and make sure

675
00:38:10,067 --> 00:38:13,667
Speaker 12: they come out with the qualifications and the attributes they

676
00:38:13,707 --> 00:38:15,467
Speaker 12: need to be a functioning citizen.

677
00:38:15,947 --> 00:38:18,067
Speaker 3: What are the kind of questions that Principles are already

678
00:38:18,107 --> 00:38:20,627
Speaker 3: asking you, Mike, Oh.

679
00:38:20,827 --> 00:38:24,787
Speaker 12: Just really general, what do you know about it? You know,

680
00:38:25,307 --> 00:38:28,827
Speaker 12: that's really outside of what's been reported in the media

681
00:38:28,907 --> 00:38:31,467
Speaker 12: that there really isn't much information to go on. So

682
00:38:32,347 --> 00:38:37,707
Speaker 12: I think that there's always a risk or a thought

683
00:38:37,787 --> 00:38:40,147
Speaker 12: that some schools might feel that are going to lose

684
00:38:40,147 --> 00:38:43,907
Speaker 12: their talented athletes that they've been developing. But until we

685
00:38:43,987 --> 00:38:48,787
Speaker 12: really understand what the intent of the new sports charter

686
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:50,587
Speaker 12: school is going to be, there's no.

687
00:38:50,587 --> 00:38:53,027
Speaker 4: Points in speculating around what it might look like.

688
00:38:53,347 --> 00:38:55,067
Speaker 3: Well, it's going to be a fascinating see how this

689
00:38:55,347 --> 00:38:58,347
Speaker 3: develops with it starting two one next year. It's a

690
00:38:58,387 --> 00:39:00,347
Speaker 3: quick turner around. Mike, thank you very much for joining

691
00:39:00,427 --> 00:39:04,067
Speaker 3: us on news talk zeb Appreciate it. Pleasure Mike. Some

692
00:39:04,147 --> 00:39:06,827
Speaker 3: are there joining us on news talk ZIB school sports

693
00:39:06,947 --> 00:39:09,547
Speaker 3: CEO plenty of text in on nine two ninety two.

694
00:39:11,067 --> 00:39:12,787
Speaker 3: Once here is we're applying. At the moment we live

695
00:39:12,827 --> 00:39:15,467
Speaker 3: in Auckland, Sun is fourteen. The boarding school part costs

696
00:39:15,467 --> 00:39:18,587
Speaker 3: about five hundred dollars per week. Will be very interesting

697
00:39:18,627 --> 00:39:20,947
Speaker 3: to see what the Phoenix part will cost. And yeah,

698
00:39:21,867 --> 00:39:24,307
Speaker 3: you know it's free. So I suppose you're a border

699
00:39:25,027 --> 00:39:28,707
Speaker 3: you obviously pay the wage for the hostel, the fee

700
00:39:28,747 --> 00:39:32,147
Speaker 3: for the hostel, etcetera. So good luck with your application.

701
00:39:32,187 --> 00:39:35,227
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how it's all unfolds. Roscoe with us. Hey, mate,

702
00:39:35,227 --> 00:39:37,307
Speaker 3: when I did sports like I realized that there are

703
00:39:37,347 --> 00:39:39,947
Speaker 3: two different models, a youth model and a professional model.

704
00:39:40,227 --> 00:39:43,707
Speaker 3: Youth model is for fun, goal setting, etcetera, essentially life skills.

705
00:39:43,947 --> 00:39:48,027
Speaker 3: Professional model is much more serious, money, sponsorship, et cetera involved.

706
00:39:48,067 --> 00:39:52,907
Speaker 3: We hope those lessons as well around sponsorship around being

707
00:39:52,947 --> 00:39:57,147
Speaker 3: a professional athlete are put in place at these schools.

708
00:39:58,187 --> 00:40:00,907
Speaker 3: Roscoe also adds a question is what does success mean?

709
00:40:00,987 --> 00:40:04,787
Speaker 3: And what is the whole curriculum that appears undefined to me?

710
00:40:04,907 --> 00:40:07,507
Speaker 3: What does success look like for the athletes? How do

711
00:40:07,507 --> 00:40:12,427
Speaker 3: you go you are a successful person leaving this, graduating

712
00:40:12,507 --> 00:40:14,867
Speaker 3: at the end of year thirteen? What does that look

713
00:40:14,907 --> 00:40:16,667
Speaker 3: like as you move in? Is it getting a contract?

714
00:40:16,747 --> 00:40:22,587
Speaker 3: Is it being the best grades across the levels at

715
00:40:22,587 --> 00:40:25,107
Speaker 3: academic as well as having a sporting background. That to

716
00:40:25,147 --> 00:40:28,347
Speaker 3: me feels a little unclear. At this point seven and

717
00:40:28,347 --> 00:40:30,227
Speaker 3: a half away from one, we'll take a break, come back,

718
00:40:30,267 --> 00:40:31,947
Speaker 3: wrap up the hour with a few more texts.

719
00:40:31,947 --> 00:40:32,347
Speaker 9: After this.

720
00:40:34,387 --> 00:40:37,067
Speaker 1: The scoop from the track fields and the court on

721
00:40:37,107 --> 00:40:39,387
Speaker 1: your home of court weekends for it.

722
00:40:39,547 --> 00:40:40,347
Speaker 9: You talk me.

723
00:40:41,867 --> 00:40:43,667
Speaker 3: A load of texts on this and mop up a

724
00:40:43,707 --> 00:40:47,187
Speaker 3: few after one o'clock. Lind says this. Academics don't forgets

725
00:40:47,187 --> 00:40:49,667
Speaker 3: about teaching a trade. Fair point lind Yes, that could

726
00:40:49,667 --> 00:40:53,947
Speaker 3: be another avenue that these students go down look at trades.

727
00:40:53,987 --> 00:40:55,667
Speaker 3: For these school it is a better fallback than a

728
00:40:55,707 --> 00:41:00,027
Speaker 3: degree for some learners, or might get to a few more.

729
00:41:00,107 --> 00:41:03,267
Speaker 3: After one o'clock, as I say, after one, we're going

730
00:41:03,347 --> 00:41:06,947
Speaker 3: to talk to the NPC Final. Niney Poonavi and Jay

731
00:41:06,947 --> 00:41:10,587
Speaker 3: Broomfield are going to join us wings for Canterbury and

732
00:41:10,587 --> 00:41:13,227
Speaker 3: Otago respectively. In fact, I think they are marking each

733
00:41:13,267 --> 00:41:17,427
Speaker 3: other this afternoon in the final four oh five in

734
00:41:17,747 --> 00:41:20,467
Speaker 3: christ Church. Will take a look at the NPC Final

735

Speaker 1: The only place to discuss the biggest sports issues on

742
00:41:42,747 --> 00:41:43,827
Speaker 1: and after field.

743
00:41:44,427 --> 00:41:45,107
Speaker 9: It's all on.

744
00:41:45,107 --> 00:41:50,427
Speaker 1: Weekend Sport on your home report News Talk Zimbing.

745
00:41:51,187 --> 00:41:55,147
Speaker 3: Welcome to en Weekend Sports Elliott Smith and for Jason Pine.

746
00:41:55,667 --> 00:41:59,747
Speaker 3: This weekend we'll talk the NPC Final very shortly on

747
00:41:59,787 --> 00:42:03,667
Speaker 3: the program. We'll head into both camps. Canterbury the home team,

748
00:42:03,747 --> 00:42:07,627
Speaker 3: Naney Putavi to join us. They've had an interesting old season,

749
00:42:07,707 --> 00:42:10,547
Speaker 3: just the one game lost and that was of course

750
00:42:10,587 --> 00:42:14,507
Speaker 3: to Otago. They lost the Renfilly Shield in doing so.

751
00:42:14,707 --> 00:42:16,747
Speaker 3: Nney Pinterviable will join us. Then we'll go into the

752
00:42:16,787 --> 00:42:20,867
Speaker 3: Otago camp the visitors. Jay Broomfield is going to join

753
00:42:20,907 --> 00:42:24,747
Speaker 3: the program. He's on the wing for Otago this afternoon.

754
00:42:24,867 --> 00:42:27,227
Speaker 3: Scored a try I think, and that shield challenge a

755
00:42:27,227 --> 00:42:29,227
Speaker 3: few weeks back. What's been the key to getting them

756
00:42:29,667 --> 00:42:31,947
Speaker 3: in the final. They'll join us as well. Adam Peacock

757
00:42:32,107 --> 00:42:36,347
Speaker 3: out of Australia before the hour is out as well.

758
00:42:36,427 --> 00:42:38,667
Speaker 3: Did want to close the loop though. On the charter

759
00:42:38,747 --> 00:42:42,027
Speaker 3: school discussion. We were having last plenty of text messages

760
00:42:42,027 --> 00:42:45,747
Speaker 3: that I found really interesting. Look at the Stephen Adams story,

761
00:42:45,747 --> 00:42:47,547
Speaker 3: says one. If he hadn't been lucky enough to have

762
00:42:47,627 --> 00:42:49,787
Speaker 3: been sent to a very good private school by a

763
00:42:49,827 --> 00:42:52,267
Speaker 3: lady who sponsored him, he would never be where he

764
00:42:52,507 --> 00:42:55,827
Speaker 3: is today. Another says there are already lots of schools

765
00:42:55,827 --> 00:42:59,867
Speaker 3: that have a focus and their academies all sorts of sports, sailing, golf, rowing,

766
00:42:59,907 --> 00:43:02,907
Speaker 3: et cetera. Nothing new That's a good point that there

767
00:43:02,907 --> 00:43:05,547
Speaker 3: are always sports that focus on their first fifteen rugby

768
00:43:05,667 --> 00:43:07,787
Speaker 3: or a known as football school or not as a

769
00:43:07,867 --> 00:43:11,387
Speaker 3: rowing school. This, I guess just streamlines it a little bit.

770
00:43:11,427 --> 00:43:17,267
Speaker 3: Where to wear sport is the number one focus more

771
00:43:17,427 --> 00:43:18,907
Speaker 3: high you can see what the Phoenix are doing here.

772
00:43:18,947 --> 00:43:21,227
Speaker 3: They already run their academy for players at Phraser Park.

773
00:43:21,267 --> 00:43:24,107
Speaker 3: Now they want to get government money to continue doing

774
00:43:24,267 --> 00:43:27,307
Speaker 3: what they do now, but calling it a charter school

775
00:43:28,307 --> 00:43:31,107
Speaker 3: and another interesting text, there is presently a clash in

776
00:43:31,227 --> 00:43:34,427
Speaker 3: time between the Phoenix Academy and school power struggle for

777
00:43:34,707 --> 00:43:37,227
Speaker 3: who kids play for. With kids on restrictive minutes for

778
00:43:37,267 --> 00:43:40,187
Speaker 3: their school teams, this charter school will pull kids away

779
00:43:40,187 --> 00:43:43,947
Speaker 3: from Maine single sex schools, so the Phoenix Academy doesn't

780
00:43:43,987 --> 00:43:47,507
Speaker 3: need to compete with schools. That's an interesting point of

781
00:43:47,587 --> 00:43:52,267
Speaker 3: view and last text on this matter. Maybe it's good

782
00:43:52,267 --> 00:43:54,667
Speaker 3: for the sort of kids that were good at sports

783
00:43:54,987 --> 00:43:57,747
Speaker 3: but only returning to year thirteen because of rugby and

784
00:43:57,827 --> 00:44:01,507
Speaker 3: not through anything else. Fascinating topic. I for one am

785
00:44:02,147 --> 00:44:05,627
Speaker 3: really interested to see how the school goes in Wellington

786
00:44:07,267 --> 00:44:09,347
Speaker 3: and whether it is a long term proposition and whether

787
00:44:09,387 --> 00:44:12,747
Speaker 3: they do diversify into other sports and what kind of

788
00:44:12,907 --> 00:44:15,987
Speaker 3: enrollment they get tacking up. It's going to intrigue this decision.

789
00:44:16,067 --> 00:44:18,147
Speaker 3: I'm sure we won text to last hour, so they

790
00:44:18,187 --> 00:44:22,107
Speaker 3: are they are enrolling now or considering enrolling doing the

791
00:44:22,107 --> 00:44:25,227
Speaker 3: boarding program since it was announced earlier in the week.

792
00:44:25,227 --> 00:44:27,467
Speaker 3: I'm sure that it's a conversation being had by a

793
00:44:27,507 --> 00:44:31,187
Speaker 3: number of kids and their parents around the country. Richard

794
00:44:31,227 --> 00:44:32,907
Speaker 3: with the final word that I did say I had

795
00:44:32,987 --> 00:44:34,667
Speaker 3: last text the final we'd go, so Richard, I bet

796
00:44:34,707 --> 00:44:39,547
Speaker 3: those teachers won't strike. Thank you, Richard. Ten after one

797

Speaker 13: offload free but here comes Jabe Hennah up over halfway,

807

Speaker 8: Yeah, no, thanks for having me.

817
00:45:36,187 --> 00:45:39,067
Speaker 3: The big dance ninety counting down to that again, otago

818
00:45:39,227 --> 00:45:42,507
Speaker 3: the Southern rivalry. How excited are you for the final

819
00:45:42,627 --> 00:45:43,347
Speaker 3: this afternoon?

820
00:45:44,027 --> 00:45:47,347
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know here that it's almost sold out so

821
00:45:47,427 --> 00:45:49,027
Speaker 14: it should be a good crowd. Hopefully it's a good

822
00:45:49,067 --> 00:45:51,907
Speaker 14: day and yeah, excited to play some finals footy.

823
00:45:52,547 --> 00:45:55,027
Speaker 3: How have you built it as a team this season Canterbury?

824
00:45:55,027 --> 00:45:56,707
Speaker 3: Obviously the one loss will get to that in a

825
00:45:56,747 --> 00:45:59,627
Speaker 3: moment or two. But what's been important for you as

826
00:45:59,667 --> 00:46:02,947
Speaker 3: a Canterbury side this season as you've gone through the campaign.

827
00:46:03,507 --> 00:46:05,627
Speaker 14: We've put it Yeah, well, I think we've put a

828
00:46:05,627 --> 00:46:09,067
Speaker 14: real emphasis on just really loving what we do each

829
00:46:09,147 --> 00:46:11,867
Speaker 14: day and enjoying every day were at work together and

830
00:46:12,707 --> 00:46:15,147
Speaker 14: just really connecting as a group off the field, so

831
00:46:15,187 --> 00:46:18,427
Speaker 14: that you know, when we're on the field, we're good

832
00:46:18,467 --> 00:46:20,467
Speaker 14: mates and we're willing to work hard for each other.

833
00:46:20,747 --> 00:46:23,467
Speaker 3: You're black said no to Sam Darry or George Bell

834
00:46:23,547 --> 00:46:26,587
Speaker 3: this week. How quickly do you not necessarily move on

835
00:46:26,707 --> 00:46:29,347
Speaker 3: from them not being there, but move into that next

836
00:46:29,387 --> 00:46:31,587
Speaker 3: man up mentality? How quickly is the team? Do you

837
00:46:31,627 --> 00:46:34,587
Speaker 3: welcome in Brian McAllister Hooker and the other changes that

838
00:46:34,627 --> 00:46:35,227
Speaker 3: you've made.

839
00:46:35,507 --> 00:46:39,067
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, no, we're absolutely staked for Dairy and Bally

840
00:46:39,547 --> 00:46:42,627
Speaker 14: to get the call up to the big black jersey,

841
00:46:42,667 --> 00:46:45,347
Speaker 14: and we're happy for them to go and do that.

842
00:46:46,147 --> 00:46:47,947
Speaker 14: But yeah, like you say, you know, we trust the

843
00:46:47,947 --> 00:46:51,947
Speaker 14: next man man up, and everyone's been working hard all season,

844
00:46:51,987 --> 00:46:54,267
Speaker 14: so no matter what who's wearing the jersey, we know

845
00:46:54,267 --> 00:46:55,067
Speaker 14: that they would do the job.

846
00:46:55,627 --> 00:46:57,547
Speaker 3: There have been some tough games along the way. A

847
00:46:57,547 --> 00:46:59,947
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, Counties Monaco pushed you right to

848
00:46:59,987 --> 00:47:02,627
Speaker 3: the limit into extra time, the Otago game where you

849
00:47:02,707 --> 00:47:05,867
Speaker 3: lost the shield as well. How have you dealt with

850
00:47:05,907 --> 00:47:10,147
Speaker 3: the challenge and the adversity that's been throwing your way.

851
00:47:10,627 --> 00:47:12,987
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think you know, each week we've we've learned

852
00:47:12,987 --> 00:47:16,307
Speaker 14: a lot about ourselves and and about who we are

853
00:47:16,507 --> 00:47:20,227
Speaker 14: as a team, and yeah, I think those those challenges,

854
00:47:20,267 --> 00:47:22,347
Speaker 14: as you say, have set us up nicely for for

855
00:47:22,387 --> 00:47:25,387
Speaker 14: whatever's going to come on this Saturday. So you know,

856
00:47:25,427 --> 00:47:28,267
Speaker 14: we feel that we're well prepared and we're really ready

857
00:47:28,307 --> 00:47:28,707
Speaker 14: take it on.

858
00:47:29,307 --> 00:47:32,867
Speaker 3: What are your expectations throw a Tigo in this afternoon's final.

859
00:47:33,627 --> 00:47:37,147
Speaker 14: You know they'll be full of confidence that they've had

860
00:47:37,147 --> 00:47:40,307
Speaker 14: a really good season and obviously last time they're up here,

861
00:47:40,307 --> 00:47:43,787
Speaker 14: they they they got the chocolates, So you know we're

862
00:47:43,787 --> 00:47:47,107
Speaker 14: expecting a really good battle and that they definitely won't

863
00:47:47,827 --> 00:47:48,987
Speaker 14: give it to us very easily.

864
00:47:49,067 --> 00:47:50,707
Speaker 8: So you know we're up for that.

865
00:47:51,267 --> 00:47:55,267
Speaker 14: We've been prepared all week and you know we're just

866
00:47:55,267 --> 00:47:56,987
Speaker 14: excited to get out there and play in front of

867
00:47:57,027 --> 00:47:57,507
Speaker 14: our fans.

868
00:47:58,027 --> 00:48:00,227
Speaker 3: Do you consider it maybe a little bit of revenge

869
00:48:00,267 --> 00:48:02,867
Speaker 3: for what happened with the Ranfilly Shield going their way

870
00:48:02,867 --> 00:48:04,867
Speaker 3: a few weeks back when they played last.

871
00:48:06,547 --> 00:48:09,267
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I'd be lying if it wasn't sitting

872
00:48:09,267 --> 00:48:10,187
Speaker 8: in the back of my mind.

873
00:48:11,347 --> 00:48:15,907
Speaker 14: You know, definitely want to repay them, I guess, But

874
00:48:16,027 --> 00:48:18,187
Speaker 14: you know, we've just really focused on what we're going

875
00:48:18,267 --> 00:48:20,987
Speaker 14: to do this week and how we're going to you know,

876
00:48:21,187 --> 00:48:22,347
Speaker 14: get the result that we want to.

877
00:48:22,787 --> 00:48:25,667
Speaker 3: Were there any lessons out of that game in terms

878
00:48:25,707 --> 00:48:27,947
Speaker 3: of how you might approach this afternoon or maybe even

879
00:48:27,947 --> 00:48:31,227
Speaker 3: o targo approach it, because there was what fifteen minutes

880
00:48:31,267 --> 00:48:33,147
Speaker 3: of the game they took away from you with some

881
00:48:33,187 --> 00:48:35,667
Speaker 3: really good rugby. Were there lessons that you can take

882
00:48:35,707 --> 00:48:37,707
Speaker 3: into this afternoon that will be valuable?

883
00:48:38,347 --> 00:48:40,547
Speaker 14: I think, well, well, we obviously know that they're not

884
00:48:40,587 --> 00:48:43,067
Speaker 14: going to go away, so no matter what the score is,

885
00:48:43,547 --> 00:48:45,267
Speaker 14: no matter the time on the clock, they're going to

886
00:48:45,347 --> 00:48:47,907
Speaker 14: keep coming and throwing everything at us. So we've just

887
00:48:47,947 --> 00:48:50,627
Speaker 14: got to be stay on for the whole eighty minutes

888
00:48:50,867 --> 00:48:53,587
Speaker 14: or one hundred minutes if that's what it takes, as

889
00:48:53,627 --> 00:48:56,467
Speaker 14: we saw a couple of weeks ago, So yeah, just

890
00:48:56,467 --> 00:48:58,947
Speaker 14: just knowing that they're never going to die, so we

891
00:48:59,547 --> 00:49:00,227
Speaker 14: can't die either.

892
00:49:00,467 --> 00:49:02,107
Speaker 3: How much did it take out of the leagues a

893
00:49:02,107 --> 00:49:04,347
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, that one hundred minute game against

894
00:49:04,347 --> 00:49:06,827
Speaker 3: Counties in the quarter finals end. Do you think it's

895
00:49:06,827 --> 00:49:09,027
Speaker 3: a good preparation that if today does come down to

896
00:49:09,027 --> 00:49:11,907
Speaker 3: an extra time scenario that you've been there before in

897
00:49:11,987 --> 00:49:12,747
Speaker 3: recent games.

898
00:49:13,187 --> 00:49:15,267
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think we've we've took a lot of confidence

899
00:49:15,307 --> 00:49:17,347
Speaker 14: out of it. You know that we can go that

900
00:49:17,467 --> 00:49:21,187
Speaker 14: deep and that we can handle that. So yeah, you know,

901
00:49:21,547 --> 00:49:23,947
Speaker 14: we're feeling really good with fresh and ready this week,

902
00:49:24,867 --> 00:49:26,707
Speaker 14: so if that's what it takes, then we're willing to

903
00:49:26,747 --> 00:49:27,067
Speaker 14: go there.

904
00:49:27,187 --> 00:49:30,147
Speaker 3: Well, I sold that crowd. As you mentioned this afternoon,

905
00:49:30,307 --> 00:49:32,627
Speaker 3: it's the last time as well Canterbury will play at

906
00:49:32,667 --> 00:49:35,427
Speaker 3: Apollo Projects Stadium. How much does that mean to you

907
00:49:35,507 --> 00:49:37,267
Speaker 3: and the team that you're getting this sort of send

908
00:49:37,267 --> 00:49:38,107
Speaker 3: off this afternoon.

909
00:49:38,907 --> 00:49:41,347
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's obviously, you know, something that we spoke about

910
00:49:41,347 --> 00:49:42,787
Speaker 14: at the start of the season with us been the

911
00:49:42,867 --> 00:49:46,787
Speaker 14: last ken every season at Apollo and you know, it's

912
00:49:46,827 --> 00:49:52,547
Speaker 14: been very special, and yeah, I think it's pretty cool

913
00:49:52,547 --> 00:49:54,867
Speaker 14: that we can play one one more game there and

914
00:49:55,587 --> 00:49:59,347
Speaker 14: hopefully it's a full house and it's going to be

915
00:49:59,347 --> 00:50:01,587
Speaker 14: a very special occasion to send off the stadium.

916
00:50:01,707 --> 00:50:04,947
Speaker 3: Canterbury wing Nandi Punavia with US on News Talk zib Naney.

917
00:50:04,987 --> 00:50:07,507
Speaker 3: I was looking at the stats a little bit. I

918
00:50:07,547 --> 00:50:10,107
Speaker 3: think you debuted in twenty seventeen in a Shield game

919
00:50:10,147 --> 00:50:12,787
Speaker 3: in pre season. Canterbury went on to win the title

920
00:50:12,827 --> 00:50:15,067
Speaker 3: that year, but I know you didn't play a further

921
00:50:15,107 --> 00:50:17,987
Speaker 3: part in that campaign, but you're obviously around the team

922
00:50:18,067 --> 00:50:20,867
Speaker 3: do you take much out of that eight years ago,

923
00:50:20,907 --> 00:50:23,067
Speaker 3: what it took to win a title on that occasion?

924
00:50:23,787 --> 00:50:27,467
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, No, that was very special to I remember

925
00:50:27,467 --> 00:50:29,107
Speaker 14: when on the stadium first went up and I was

926
00:50:29,187 --> 00:50:31,627
Speaker 14: a young fellow going along and watching the Canobary games

927
00:50:31,627 --> 00:50:34,067
Speaker 14: and then, like you say, to get my debut there

928
00:50:34,147 --> 00:50:38,347
Speaker 14: and be a part of that twenty seventeen group was

929
00:50:38,987 --> 00:50:43,107
Speaker 14: very special and I think if anything, I was just

930
00:50:43,347 --> 00:50:46,227
Speaker 14: not taking it for granted, you know, like finals, don't

931
00:50:46,227 --> 00:50:48,907
Speaker 14: get to be in a final that often. So it's

932
00:50:48,947 --> 00:50:52,747
Speaker 14: just been enjoying every moment this week and enjoying what

933
00:50:53,027 --> 00:50:53,787
Speaker 14: said today Wilbreen.

934
00:50:54,107 --> 00:50:56,347
Speaker 3: What did to touch on Tom Christy as well? His

935
00:50:56,467 --> 00:50:58,707
Speaker 3: last game for the province. He's been a workhorse for

936
00:50:59,227 --> 00:51:01,427
Speaker 3: a number of seasons for Canterbury. He was there in

937
00:51:01,427 --> 00:51:04,067
Speaker 3: that twenty seventeen winning team, so you've seen him up

938
00:51:04,067 --> 00:51:05,747
Speaker 3: close for a number of years. What does he mean

939
00:51:05,787 --> 00:51:06,547
Speaker 3: to cantor.

940
00:51:07,347 --> 00:51:08,307
Speaker 8: Yeah, Tom's massive.

941
00:51:08,347 --> 00:51:11,627
Speaker 14: He's you know, obviously with losing Cohen Grace earlier in

942
00:51:11,627 --> 00:51:15,027
Speaker 14: the season, Tom's just stepped into that cpancy role and

943
00:51:15,467 --> 00:51:18,067
Speaker 14: he's taken it in a stride and he just leaves

944
00:51:18,427 --> 00:51:19,987
Speaker 14: by example when it's easy to follow.

945
00:51:20,027 --> 00:51:20,227
Speaker 7: Him.

946
00:51:20,627 --> 00:51:23,507
Speaker 8: All the boys love playing alongside him because you just.

947
00:51:23,507 --> 00:51:24,947
Speaker 14: Know what you're going to get from him, and he's

948
00:51:25,267 --> 00:51:27,827
Speaker 14: he's going to go and give everything for us. So

949
00:51:28,267 --> 00:51:31,027
Speaker 14: hopefully we can send him off in style in the

950
00:51:31,027 --> 00:51:31,907
Speaker 14: way that he deserves.

951
00:51:32,227 --> 00:51:33,987
Speaker 3: What are going to be the key this afternoon? Is

952
00:51:33,987 --> 00:51:36,667
Speaker 3: it a quick start stamping your authority on the game

953
00:51:36,707 --> 00:51:37,667
Speaker 3: if you possibly can.

954
00:51:38,427 --> 00:51:40,707
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think you know, you always want to no

955
00:51:40,747 --> 00:51:42,187
Speaker 14: matter what the game is, you want to have a

956
00:51:42,187 --> 00:51:46,267
Speaker 14: good start and not be chasing. But we're prepared for

957
00:51:46,307 --> 00:51:48,987
Speaker 14: all situations and we know that it's going to take

958
00:51:48,987 --> 00:51:52,227
Speaker 14: the full eighty minutes to get a result that we want,

959
00:51:52,307 --> 00:51:54,067
Speaker 14: so just being prepared for that.

960
00:51:54,787 --> 00:51:57,547
Speaker 3: I know as a team you went to Lancaster Park

961
00:51:57,867 --> 00:52:01,627
Speaker 3: or Jade Stadium or Ami Stadium, depending on what generation

962
00:52:01,787 --> 00:52:04,587
Speaker 3: you grew up in, but you obviously didn't play at

963
00:52:04,627 --> 00:52:07,347
Speaker 3: that ground, But as a team going there in the week,

964
00:52:07,427 --> 00:52:10,027
Speaker 3: what was the reasoning behind that and what did you

965
00:52:10,067 --> 00:52:10,707
Speaker 3: get out of it?

966
00:52:11,707 --> 00:52:11,947
Speaker 8: Yeah?

967
00:52:11,947 --> 00:52:15,627
Speaker 14: That was, you know, pretty special to go there and

968
00:52:16,147 --> 00:52:19,947
Speaker 14: had guys like Ryan Croddy share a few memories there,

969
00:52:20,027 --> 00:52:24,227
Speaker 14: and obviously a few of the boys were young kids

970
00:52:24,347 --> 00:52:27,707
Speaker 14: going watching the Kennary games there, so it was was

971
00:52:27,707 --> 00:52:30,627
Speaker 14: pretty special to hear those sort of stories, and it

972
00:52:30,667 --> 00:52:33,587
Speaker 14: was more about just you know, connecting as a as

973
00:52:33,627 --> 00:52:37,587
Speaker 14: a team and knowing you know what Apollo actually.

974
00:52:37,867 --> 00:52:40,027
Speaker 8: Has sort of stood in for.

975
00:52:40,747 --> 00:52:44,507
Speaker 14: You know, Lancaster Park was a huge place and massive

976
00:52:44,587 --> 00:52:48,667
Speaker 14: part of Kennbury rugby and Crusaders rugby. So but then

977
00:52:48,827 --> 00:52:53,667
Speaker 14: acknowledging what the significance of a POLO standing in as

978
00:52:53,667 --> 00:52:58,507
Speaker 14: a sort of a long term makeshift stadium and just

979
00:52:58,987 --> 00:53:02,467
Speaker 14: recognizing the you know what it's done for our community,

980
00:53:02,587 --> 00:53:05,387
Speaker 14: especially through those those first couple of years of the earthquakes.

981
00:53:05,667 --> 00:53:07,947
Speaker 3: Do you have any of going along to that ground

982
00:53:07,987 --> 00:53:10,387
Speaker 3: as a youngster, Nai pre earthquakes?

983
00:53:10,827 --> 00:53:12,987
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, I remember going to a couple of games

984
00:53:13,067 --> 00:53:18,387
Speaker 14: and yeah, just the crowds, you know, it used to

985
00:53:18,387 --> 00:53:20,787
Speaker 14: pack out and it was a huge stadium, and I

986
00:53:20,827 --> 00:53:23,747
Speaker 14: just remember being really inspired as a little kid watching

987
00:53:24,307 --> 00:53:28,107
Speaker 14: Canterbury go to work and score tries and win games,

988
00:53:28,147 --> 00:53:29,787
Speaker 14: and yeah, it.

989
00:53:29,747 --> 00:53:30,427
Speaker 8: Was pretty special.

Speaker 16: I mean, finals like this don't come right often, so

1044
00:56:04,187 --> 00:56:05,707
Speaker 16: it's pretty exciting for the boys.

1045
00:56:05,507 --> 00:56:08,427
Speaker 15: Just to be here and you have to experience this environment.

1046

00:56:13,267 --> 00:56:15,667
Speaker 3: Have you talked about the history as a team this

1049
00:56:15,787 --> 00:56:17,827
Speaker 3: week and your chance to do something special?

1050
00:56:18,827 --> 00:56:19,427
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, a.

1051
00:56:19,387 --> 00:56:21,387
Speaker 16: Little bit obviously touching on it because it's been a while,

1052
00:56:21,427 --> 00:56:24,947
Speaker 16: but for us it's again it's just another week, another

1053
00:56:25,187 --> 00:56:26,747
Speaker 16: chance for us to get better as a team and

1054
00:56:27,067 --> 00:56:28,427
Speaker 16: at the end of the day, it's just another game

1055
00:56:28,427 --> 00:56:29,507
Speaker 16: of footy on that Saturday.

1056
00:56:29,907 --> 00:56:32,027
Speaker 3: What's been behind your success this season? How have you

1057
00:56:32,067 --> 00:56:35,507
Speaker 3: managed to build through the campaign? From the outside looking in,

1058
00:56:35,587 --> 00:56:38,227
Speaker 3: it feels like you've gained some confidence every week as

1059
00:56:38,267 --> 00:56:40,987
Speaker 3: you've gone on. But internally, how do you think you've

1060
00:56:41,027 --> 00:56:42,307
Speaker 3: built as a team this season.

1061
00:56:42,547 --> 00:56:43,987
Speaker 16: I think a massive one for us to see, and

1062
00:56:43,987 --> 00:56:47,027
Speaker 16: there has been that connection piece coming in. I was

1063
00:56:47,027 --> 00:56:49,587
Speaker 16: obviously a new person coming into the team, but as

1064
00:56:49,627 --> 00:56:51,507
Speaker 16: straight away it felt like I was welcome.

1065
00:56:51,227 --> 00:56:51,907
Speaker 15: With open arms.

1066
00:56:51,907 --> 00:56:54,867
Speaker 16: And then having this new group of coaching with Brownie

1067
00:56:55,067 --> 00:56:57,707
Speaker 16: and Bamas and Scottie all coming in and just adding

1068
00:56:57,707 --> 00:57:00,547
Speaker 16: their own little piece of knowledge and piece of expertise.

1069
00:57:00,547 --> 00:57:02,187
Speaker 16: I think it's really brought us together quite well as

1070
00:57:02,187 --> 00:57:02,507
Speaker 16: in group.

1071
00:57:02,827 --> 00:57:05,267
Speaker 3: Jay, take us through your path to playing for Otago

1072
00:57:05,347 --> 00:57:08,827
Speaker 3: this season, because I think you're a Hamilton boy initially

1073
00:57:08,907 --> 00:57:11,227
Speaker 3: and you've been playing club rugby and christ Church until

1074
00:57:11,227 --> 00:57:13,427
Speaker 3: a few months ago. So how did you end up

1075
00:57:13,467 --> 00:57:14,547
Speaker 3: in Otango this season?

1076
00:57:15,027 --> 00:57:17,747
Speaker 16: Yeah, so went to school up in St Paul's and Hamilton.

1077
00:57:18,747 --> 00:57:21,787
Speaker 16: After school, went down to the Crusades Academy down in

1078
00:57:21,867 --> 00:57:24,867
Speaker 16: christ Church the last couple of years, and then yeah,

1079
00:57:24,867 --> 00:57:27,627
Speaker 16: I had a conversation with Brownie earlier this season about

1080
00:57:27,627 --> 00:57:29,787
Speaker 16: potentially being able to come down here and get an

1081
00:57:29,787 --> 00:57:32,947
Speaker 16: opportunity here. So yeah, jumped at the opportunity to come

1082
00:57:32,987 --> 00:57:35,027
Speaker 16: down and it's worked out pretty well so fast so

1083
00:57:35,027 --> 00:57:36,867
Speaker 16: I'm pretty stoked, to be honest.

1084
00:57:36,867 --> 00:57:38,867
Speaker 3: Just playing Canterbury in the final of this afternoon make

1085
00:57:38,867 --> 00:57:41,307
Speaker 3: it a little bit more special given you've spent a

1086
00:57:41,307 --> 00:57:42,347
Speaker 3: fair bit of time there now.

1087
00:57:42,707 --> 00:57:42,907
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1088
00:57:42,987 --> 00:57:44,867
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean obviously got a few few mates and

1089
00:57:44,947 --> 00:57:48,067
Speaker 16: around the team, But for us it's obviously just another

1090
00:57:48,147 --> 00:57:50,307
Speaker 16: game and another opportunity to go out there and do

1091
00:57:50,387 --> 00:57:51,147
Speaker 16: our people proud.

1092
00:57:51,587 --> 00:57:53,467
Speaker 3: What did you as a team learn from the Shield

1093
00:57:53,547 --> 00:57:55,427
Speaker 3: Challenge a few weeks ago where you took the log

1094
00:57:55,467 --> 00:57:57,987
Speaker 3: the wood and beat canterbrou on that afternoon. What did

1095
00:57:58,027 --> 00:57:59,507
Speaker 3: you learn about yourselves that day?

1096
00:57:59,707 --> 00:58:01,907
Speaker 15: I think obviously that first aft for us is pretty tough.

1097
00:58:02,147 --> 00:58:04,547
Speaker 16: Probably struggled a little bit to get into the game,

1098
00:58:04,667 --> 00:58:06,827
Speaker 16: so come into this game, it's just sort of stacking

1099
00:58:06,827 --> 00:58:10,027
Speaker 16: those little moments or to lead to a bitter successful team.

1100
00:58:10,187 --> 00:58:13,667
Speaker 3: Would you describe that Rainfilly Shield Challenge as a turning point?

1101
00:58:13,747 --> 00:58:15,627
Speaker 3: You've had a very good season of course to that point,

1102
00:58:15,667 --> 00:58:18,707
Speaker 3: but did it elevate in terms of what the side

1103
00:58:18,747 --> 00:58:20,947
Speaker 3: could do as you head into the final few weeks

1104
00:58:20,947 --> 00:58:21,467
Speaker 3: of the season.

1105
00:58:21,787 --> 00:58:23,467
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think obviously it gave us a lot of

1106
00:58:23,467 --> 00:58:25,707
Speaker 16: belief and not in ourselves, but in our game plan.

1107
00:58:25,827 --> 00:58:27,627
Speaker 15: That if we can speak to that sort of stuff

1108
00:58:27,907 --> 00:58:28,507
Speaker 15: that can work.

1109
00:58:28,587 --> 00:58:31,227
Speaker 16: So yeah, for us, obviously it was a massive turning point,

1110
00:58:31,227 --> 00:58:33,587
Speaker 16: but it's just building on week on week and keep

1111
00:58:33,627 --> 00:58:36,707
Speaker 16: stacking those little moments that'll hopefully lead to our success.

1112
00:58:36,707 --> 00:58:37,907
Speaker 15: Success as some stay.

1113
00:58:38,347 --> 00:58:40,347
Speaker 3: I just want to ask you about the back line

1114
00:58:40,387 --> 00:58:42,947
Speaker 3: and obviously you're part of that. Dylan pledged your cam Miller,

1115
00:58:42,987 --> 00:58:45,627
Speaker 3: that combination you've got going at nine and ten, and

1116
00:58:45,667 --> 00:58:47,707
Speaker 3: how that's developed over the course of the season. What

1117
00:58:47,747 --> 00:58:50,427
Speaker 3: have you learned off those two players and noticed about

1118
00:58:50,427 --> 00:58:53,147
Speaker 3: the way that they've built that crucial nine ten axis

1119
00:58:53,547 --> 00:58:54,307
Speaker 3: over the campaign.

1120
00:58:54,827 --> 00:58:57,467
Speaker 16: I think for both of them obviously really talented footy

1121
00:58:57,467 --> 00:59:00,347
Speaker 16: players themselves, but the connection they've had to be able

1122
00:59:00,387 --> 00:59:03,107
Speaker 16: to start working off them and it's almost like you've

1123
00:59:03,107 --> 00:59:05,507
Speaker 16: built that build that connection about knowing where they're going

1124
00:59:05,547 --> 00:59:08,307
Speaker 16: to be on the field and obviously Pleasure his ability

1125
00:59:08,307 --> 00:59:10,827
Speaker 16: around the rucks and his ability with those box kecks

1126
00:59:10,867 --> 00:59:13,147
Speaker 16: fast as outside backs has been unreal and put us

1127
00:59:13,147 --> 00:59:14,507
Speaker 16: in good positions on the field.

1128
00:59:14,307 --> 00:59:16,907
Speaker 3: Giving you one in Christ won the shield. There does

1129
00:59:17,067 --> 00:59:19,747
Speaker 3: heading back to Canterbury hold any fears further sign you

1130
00:59:19,747 --> 00:59:22,747
Speaker 3: know you've already done it so far this season, Do

1131
00:59:22,787 --> 00:59:24,427
Speaker 3: you feel like you can go and do it again?

1132
00:59:24,867 --> 00:59:27,307
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, obviously the belief in this group is unreal,

1133
00:59:27,467 --> 00:59:29,427
Speaker 16: Like we've always had that belief in the matter where

1134
00:59:29,427 --> 00:59:31,547
Speaker 16: we are, who we're playing, that we've got the ability

1135
00:59:31,587 --> 00:59:33,107
Speaker 16: and the game plan to get the job done. So

1136
00:59:33,147 --> 00:59:35,827
Speaker 16: for us, again, it's just just another game on Saturday.

1137
00:59:35,827 --> 00:59:37,707
Speaker 16: If we can do do our things right then it

1138
00:59:37,707 --> 00:59:39,587
Speaker 16: will hopefully set us up well to succeed.

1139
00:59:39,827 --> 00:59:41,427
Speaker 3: What are those keys that you need to get right

1140
00:59:41,467 --> 00:59:42,907
Speaker 3: against Canterbury this afternoon?

1141
00:59:43,267 --> 00:59:44,947
Speaker 16: For us, just playing the right ends of the field,

1142
00:59:45,187 --> 00:59:48,067
Speaker 16: not trying to overplay our hand, especially with the team

1143
00:59:48,107 --> 00:59:50,067
Speaker 16: like Cannery, they're so good when they get in that

1144
00:59:50,107 --> 00:59:52,347
Speaker 16: twenty two areas. So for us year, just playing on

1145
00:59:52,387 --> 00:59:53,987
Speaker 16: the right ends of the field and making sure that

1146
00:59:53,987 --> 00:59:55,307
Speaker 16: we're looking after our own ball.

1147
00:59:55,507 --> 00:59:58,307
Speaker 3: Jay Broomfield, Otago wing with us on news talks, you'd

1148
00:59:58,307 --> 01:00:00,947
Speaker 3: be what would it mean to you to win the NPC.

1149
01:00:01,307 --> 01:00:04,587
Speaker 15: Oh, it'd be massive. I mean this is my first

1150
01:00:04,667 --> 01:00:05,267
Speaker 15: year in the team.

1151
01:00:05,467 --> 01:00:07,707
Speaker 16: We're also fairst year at this level and there's not

1152
01:00:07,747 --> 01:00:09,627
Speaker 16: many people that get the opportunity to win.

1153
01:00:10,147 --> 01:00:13,307
Speaker 15: Win a final, So for us it's just yeah, it's massive.

1154
01:00:13,347 --> 01:00:16,307
Speaker 16: It's a little bit nervous, but again just excited for

1155
01:00:16,307 --> 01:00:18,107
Speaker 16: the opportunity because it doesn't come around that often.

1156
01:00:18,187 --> 01:00:19,987
Speaker 3: And what do you see is Canterbury strengths for the

1157
01:00:20,027 --> 01:00:21,027
Speaker 3: final this afternoon.

1158
01:00:21,587 --> 01:00:23,787
Speaker 16: Yeah, obviously they're pretty structured in the way they play

1159
01:00:23,827 --> 01:00:26,587
Speaker 16: their foot, they know their identity, they've got a strong pack.

1160
01:00:26,667 --> 01:00:29,347
Speaker 16: But again, back for us, it's just making sure that

1161
01:00:29,347 --> 01:00:31,387
Speaker 16: we do our things right and making sure that we

1162
01:00:31,387 --> 01:00:33,587
Speaker 16: stick to our game plan that will hopefully leave for

1163
01:00:33,627 --> 01:00:34,307
Speaker 16: our success.

1164
01:00:34,507 --> 01:00:36,787
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've been obviously around and needing this week

1165
01:00:36,867 --> 01:00:38,987
Speaker 3: with Scott round. It's to sold out crowd and christ

1166
01:00:39,387 --> 01:00:41,627
Speaker 3: I'm guessing there's going to be a fair few locals

1167
01:00:41,827 --> 01:00:43,827
Speaker 3: are heading up to follow you and watch the final,

1168
01:00:43,907 --> 01:00:46,067
Speaker 3: so you'll have some support in the stands. I've got

1169
01:00:46,067 --> 01:00:48,067
Speaker 3: no doubt about that. That must be pretty special.

1170
01:00:48,387 --> 01:00:50,547
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, obviously that last couple of weeks we've

1171
01:00:50,587 --> 01:00:52,387
Speaker 16: had some one real support and they've been that sixteenth

1172
01:00:52,467 --> 01:00:54,787
Speaker 16: man on the field for us. So again hopefully this

1173
01:00:54,827 --> 01:00:57,107
Speaker 16: week we can get a good number of those supporters

1174
01:00:57,107 --> 01:00:58,747
Speaker 16: out and be able to hear them in the stands

1175
01:00:58,747 --> 01:01:00,267
Speaker 16: because they've been getting us over the line the last

1176
01:01:00,307 --> 01:01:02,427
Speaker 16: few weeks, so hopefully we can get that again.

1177
01:01:02,547 --> 01:01:05,147
Speaker 3: Good man, Jay, appreciate your time with us here on

1178
01:01:05,227 --> 01:01:07,747
Speaker 3: news talks. It'd be good luck this afternoon go well.

1179
01:01:08,427 --> 01:01:12,147
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you Jay Brimfield, Otago. When joining us

1180
01:01:12,187 --> 01:01:14,667
Speaker 3: so on news talk, zib I got some time for

1181
01:01:15,307 --> 01:01:17,427
Speaker 3: a few of your calls or texts. Who have you

1182
01:01:17,467 --> 01:01:21,827
Speaker 3: got in this afternoon's final Canterbury or Otago? Who wins?

1183
01:01:21,947 --> 01:01:25,347
Speaker 3: And y oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty ninety two

1184
01:01:25,467 --> 01:01:29,627
Speaker 3: ninety two for a tis message Otago fans, what chance

1185
01:01:29,667 --> 01:01:33,307
Speaker 3: have you got of heading up to Canterbury and upsetting

1186
01:01:33,307 --> 01:01:35,707
Speaker 3: the fearwell to Apollo Project Stadium. And I don't think

1187
01:01:35,707 --> 01:01:37,227
Speaker 3: there's so many locals that'll be sad to see the

1188
01:01:37,227 --> 01:01:40,307
Speaker 3: back of it. But what chance do you give yourself

1189
01:01:40,307 --> 01:01:44,187
Speaker 3: of going up this afternoon? Because I think i've I

1190
01:01:44,227 --> 01:01:46,987
Speaker 3: think Otago been the form team in the closing weeks

1191
01:01:46,987 --> 01:01:50,147
Speaker 3: of the competition. They don't have the home advantage necessarily,

1192
01:01:50,187 --> 01:01:52,267
Speaker 3: but the way that they're played in the last couple

1193
01:01:52,347 --> 01:01:55,307
Speaker 3: of weeks, the close round quarter final against Waikatso but

1194
01:01:55,347 --> 01:01:58,587
Speaker 3: I thought they were very, very effective last week at

1195
01:01:58,587 --> 01:02:01,827
Speaker 3: Dismantling Bay of Plenty and a game that I thought

1196
01:02:01,907 --> 01:02:06,067
Speaker 3: was going to be a toss up game Otago just

1197
01:02:06,067 --> 01:02:10,267
Speaker 3: blow away Bay of plenty? Who wins and why this afternoon?

1198
01:02:10,307 --> 01:02:13,587
Speaker 3: And neutral fans, if you're not from Otago or Canterbury,

1199
01:02:15,467 --> 01:02:17,307
Speaker 3: this is always a dangerous question. But who would you

1200
01:02:17,547 --> 01:02:20,067
Speaker 3: rather see win this afternoon?

1201
01:02:20,107 --> 01:02:20,227
Speaker 2: Oh?

1202
01:02:20,267 --> 01:02:23,507
Speaker 3: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two nine two for

1203
01:02:23,707 --> 01:02:27,267
Speaker 3: a text message? In some ways I think it would

1204
01:02:27,267 --> 01:02:29,547
Speaker 3: probably mean a little bit more to Otago. We talked

1205
01:02:29,547 --> 01:02:32,587
Speaker 3: to Brendan Laney on Sports Talk last night about it,

1206
01:02:32,627 --> 01:02:37,267
Speaker 3: and it's twenty seven years today to the day that

1207
01:02:37,347 --> 01:02:42,347
Speaker 3: they last won an NPC final. Twenty seven years they

1208
01:02:42,427 --> 01:02:45,147
Speaker 3: beat Wakato in that game forty nine to twenty. Brendan

1209
01:02:45,227 --> 01:02:49,707
Speaker 3: Laney Chainsaw scored a couple of tries that afternoon. It's

1210
01:02:49,747 --> 01:02:52,707
Speaker 3: been a long time waiting for Otago fans to return

1211
01:02:52,787 --> 01:02:56,787
Speaker 3: to the top of the NPC mantle. They got to

1212
01:02:56,827 --> 01:02:59,227
Speaker 3: a final in two thousand and five, were beaten by

1213
01:02:59,267 --> 01:03:03,427
Speaker 3: Auckland on that occasion Canterbury. Their wait hasn't been as

1214
01:03:03,507 --> 01:03:06,227
Speaker 3: long if you take out all the Super Rugby things.

1215
01:03:06,187 --> 01:03:09,467
Speaker 3: The last title came in twenty seventeen. As we discussed

1216
01:03:09,467 --> 01:03:13,707
Speaker 3: with Nani Punavi there a bit earlier on, it didn't

1217
01:03:13,707 --> 01:03:16,227
Speaker 3: feel quite as long as it probably has been because

1218
01:03:16,267 --> 01:03:18,667
Speaker 3: they had that incredible run for a number of years

1219
01:03:18,707 --> 01:03:21,627
Speaker 3: with a one what eight titles in a decade or

1220
01:03:21,667 --> 01:03:24,547
Speaker 3: something ridiculous like that. But it has been a long

1221
01:03:24,587 --> 01:03:27,347
Speaker 3: wait for Canterbury, and I know that they've underlined a

1222
01:03:27,387 --> 01:03:29,707
Speaker 3: lot of that history this afternoon as they prepare for

1223
01:03:29,747 --> 01:03:35,827
Speaker 3: that Apollo Project Stadium Farewell Lancaster Park. Obviously none of

1224
01:03:35,827 --> 01:03:38,347
Speaker 3: the current crop of players have played at that venue,

1225
01:03:38,347 --> 01:03:41,307
Speaker 3: but they went near this week to connect with that ground,

1226
01:03:41,347 --> 01:03:44,107
Speaker 3: to learn a bit about the history as they try

1227
01:03:44,147 --> 01:03:48,227
Speaker 3: and set their own history this weekend. So who wins

1228
01:03:48,267 --> 01:03:50,827
Speaker 3: and why this afternoon? Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty

1229
01:03:50,947 --> 01:03:53,907
Speaker 3: nine two ninety two for a text message. I think

1230
01:03:53,947 --> 01:03:57,587
Speaker 3: Canterbury naturally go in as the favorites for this final

1231
01:03:57,627 --> 01:04:00,507
Speaker 3: because of the home advantage and the fact that their

1232
01:04:00,587 --> 01:04:04,867
Speaker 3: supporters should outnumber the Otaga fans in the stands. But

1233
01:04:04,907 --> 01:04:08,307
Speaker 3: from what I'm hearing around the traps and as we

1234
01:04:08,347 --> 01:04:11,267
Speaker 3: were discussing there with Jay before, I think there are

1235
01:04:11,307 --> 01:04:15,867
Speaker 3: a few convoys heading up from Dunedin from the Otago

1236
01:04:15,947 --> 01:04:19,947
Speaker 3: surrounds to Apollo Project Stadium this afternoon, making a long

1237
01:04:19,987 --> 01:04:21,867
Speaker 3: weekend of it, or it's certainly making a day of it.

1238
01:04:23,147 --> 01:04:24,987
Speaker 3: If you're on the way to the game and coming

1239
01:04:25,067 --> 01:04:26,787
Speaker 3: up from Denean, would love to hear from you. Oh,

1240
01:04:26,867 --> 01:04:29,347
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number nine

1241
01:04:29,427 --> 01:04:33,787
Speaker 3: two nine two for the text message. I know there

1242
01:04:33,827 --> 01:04:36,187
Speaker 3: was a bit of a gathering as well. One of

1243
01:04:35,947 --> 01:04:42,987
Speaker 3: the vintage Jersey operators that I know of Instagram, Boothy

1244
01:04:43,067 --> 01:04:46,027
Speaker 3: Dylan Booth Boothy's Rugby Relics is his name, was setting

1245
01:04:46,067 --> 01:04:48,947
Speaker 3: up a bit of a Otago meeting point in christ

1246
01:04:48,987 --> 01:04:50,947
Speaker 3: Huge at Tower Junction. I think there was about half

1247
01:04:50,987 --> 01:04:54,867
Speaker 3: past two, so I'm sure there'll be a few fans

1248
01:04:54,907 --> 01:04:57,827
Speaker 3: there looking to quench their thirst before they march on

1249
01:04:57,867 --> 01:05:02,307
Speaker 3: to the stadium for the four o'clock kickoff. One text

1250
01:05:02,307 --> 01:05:06,707
Speaker 3: to says this and put simply Otago with my multiple

1251
01:05:06,747 --> 01:05:10,787
Speaker 3: a's and multiple o's, thank you very much for the

1252
01:05:10,827 --> 01:05:13,307
Speaker 3: text this afternoon. It feels like the Neutrals might well

1253
01:05:13,347 --> 01:05:16,107
Speaker 3: be on this side. I think the rejuvenation this year

1254
01:05:16,147 --> 01:05:18,547
Speaker 3: in the NPC, and I know people will say it's

1255
01:05:18,587 --> 01:05:21,187
Speaker 3: always been good, but this year feels like it's been

1256
01:05:21,627 --> 01:05:26,587
Speaker 3: an NPC for the ages, the ran fairly shield changing hands.

1257
01:05:26,707 --> 01:05:28,987
Speaker 3: What will be up to five different teams I think

1258
01:05:29,067 --> 01:05:32,467
Speaker 3: had their hands on it at one point. This season,

1259
01:05:33,507 --> 01:05:38,147
Speaker 3: the quality of games right throughout has been really, really high.

1260
01:05:38,267 --> 01:05:40,227
Speaker 3: We had the permutations of who was going to make

1261
01:05:40,267 --> 01:05:46,187
Speaker 3: the playoffs right until the last weekend. This to me

1262
01:05:46,347 --> 01:05:50,347
Speaker 3: has set the scene for the NPC and it feels

1263
01:05:50,347 --> 01:05:54,107
Speaker 3: like it's been a while since we've had this. Last

1264
01:05:54,187 --> 01:05:55,947
Speaker 3: year was very good, Wellington Bay had plenty in a

1265
01:05:55,987 --> 01:05:58,587
Speaker 3: thrilling final, but the quality of rugby and I guess

1266
01:05:58,587 --> 01:06:03,267
Speaker 3: the uncertain nature of it all this year has really

1267
01:06:03,307 --> 01:06:06,187
Speaker 3: been entertaining and hopefully they've finally struck on the right

1268
01:06:06,387 --> 01:06:09,987
Speaker 3: after that Premiership Championship thing they tried to run for

1269
01:06:10,027 --> 01:06:13,147
Speaker 3: about a decade that everyone was just left confused by that,

1270
01:06:13,147 --> 01:06:16,227
Speaker 3: they finally struck on an idea that is going to

1271
01:06:16,227 --> 01:06:19,987
Speaker 3: set the NPC up for long term success. The broadcast

1272
01:06:19,987 --> 01:06:22,627
Speaker 3: TV broadcast deal changes after this year. It's going to

1273
01:06:22,627 --> 01:06:24,947
Speaker 3: be on TV and ZET a lot more from next year.

1274
01:06:24,987 --> 01:06:26,587
Speaker 3: More fans are going to be able to see that.

1275
01:06:26,707 --> 01:06:31,267
Speaker 3: So I think that's a positive eight hundred eighty ten

1276
01:06:31,347 --> 01:06:33,667
Speaker 3: eighty nine two nine two for a text message one

1277
01:06:33,707 --> 01:06:39,147
Speaker 3: textas is Canterbury when the game is when the game

1278
01:06:39,267 --> 01:06:41,227
Speaker 3: due to such an important last game, possibly that stadium

1279
01:06:41,227 --> 01:06:44,227
Speaker 3: hour advantage will be nothing, as there will be plenty

1280
01:06:44,227 --> 01:06:48,507
Speaker 3: of support for both sides. Certainly, what I'm hearing, I

1281
01:06:48,507 --> 01:06:50,547
Speaker 3: mean we're mentioning to see the numbers once we get

1282
01:06:50,587 --> 01:06:53,427
Speaker 3: to kick off four o'clock and we'll talk to Nick Buley,

1283
01:06:53,427 --> 01:06:55,987
Speaker 3: who's our gold Sport match commentator next hour about this

1284
01:06:56,067 --> 01:06:58,467
Speaker 3: as well as that the crowd starts to filter into

1285
01:06:58,987 --> 01:07:03,907
Speaker 3: a Polo Project stadium. What the splitters, whether O target

1286
01:07:03,907 --> 01:07:06,267
Speaker 3: fans have made that trip up the Blue and Gold

1287
01:07:07,067 --> 01:07:11,947
Speaker 3: in the stands O eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine

1288
01:07:12,027 --> 01:07:14,547
Speaker 3: two nine two this afternoon, Who are you supporting in

1289
01:07:14,587 --> 01:07:18,507
Speaker 3: the NPC final and why not? Often canabrig gets the

1290
01:07:18,547 --> 01:07:21,307
Speaker 3: neutral support I find on the text line that's usually

1291
01:07:21,827 --> 01:07:24,587
Speaker 3: anyone but canniby. That's fair enough, Oh eight hundred eighty

1292
01:07:24,587 --> 01:07:27,467
Speaker 3: ten eighty nine two nine two for a text message.

1293
01:07:27,507 --> 01:07:29,507
Speaker 3: I think the other thing from the NPC this season

1294
01:07:29,507 --> 01:07:31,747
Speaker 3: has been the quality of young players that have come through,

1295
01:07:33,787 --> 01:07:35,867
Speaker 3: and that happens every year. Players get tossed up. But

1296
01:07:35,907 --> 01:07:39,267
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone would have expected, for example, Dylan

1297
01:07:39,307 --> 01:07:43,427
Speaker 3: Pledger to have the season that he did for Otago

1298
01:07:46,027 --> 01:07:47,867
Speaker 3: two or three months ago he had just come off

1299
01:07:47,907 --> 01:07:52,267
Speaker 3: that under twenties campaign and then he was seriously given

1300
01:07:52,307 --> 01:07:55,547
Speaker 3: his form was rightfully being considered as a player for

1301
01:07:55,547 --> 01:07:59,147
Speaker 3: the All Blacks End Tour. I can't think too many

1302
01:07:59,147 --> 01:08:01,787
Speaker 3: examples of that in recent times. That's been a storyline

1303
01:08:01,787 --> 01:08:03,947
Speaker 3: out of the NPC. He became a must watch player.

1304
01:08:05,547 --> 01:08:07,667
Speaker 3: Tune at the Gotar game. See what Dylan pledges doing.

1305
01:08:07,707 --> 01:08:13,707
Speaker 3: Lucas Casey another one like him, continued growth of Josh Jacom.

1306
01:08:13,747 --> 01:08:15,867
Speaker 3: I think it's just thrown up all sorts of storylines

1307
01:08:16,307 --> 01:08:21,227
Speaker 3: other season and let's hope it's fitting finale to a

1308
01:08:21,267 --> 01:08:23,907
Speaker 3: great MPC season. When now the final kicks off this

1309
01:08:23,947 --> 01:08:29,147
Speaker 3: afternoon at four pm. Nick Bewley will have the call

1310
01:08:29,187 --> 01:08:32,307
Speaker 3: on gold Spot and iHeartRadio. Matt Todd alongside Craig Kurt

1311
01:08:32,387 --> 01:08:36,667
Speaker 3: Running Touch will chat with Nick. Next hour. You're on

1312
01:08:36,747 --> 01:08:43,827
Speaker 3: News Talk ZIBB Devin with this ABC anyone but Canterbury.

1313
01:08:43,947 --> 01:08:45,707
Speaker 3: I've got Readding Black through my veins, Devin, But I

1314
01:08:45,747 --> 01:08:49,587
Speaker 3: do take your point. I accept that sometimes we've got

1315
01:08:49,627 --> 01:08:53,067
Speaker 3: to play the outsider Canterbury. Sometimes you've got to be

1316
01:08:53,067 --> 01:08:55,587
Speaker 3: the team that everyone hates, and that is something that

1317
01:08:55,627 --> 01:08:59,027
Speaker 3: falls on Canterbury quite a lot. I fear twenty two

1318
01:08:59,067 --> 01:09:01,947
Speaker 3: and a bit away from two used Talk ZIBB Adam

1319
01:09:01,947 --> 01:09:04,187
Speaker 3: Peacock on the way after this we'll check in and

1320
01:09:04,187 --> 01:09:07,827
Speaker 3: see what's happening in Australia Sport right after this on

1321
01:09:07,867 --> 01:09:08,867
Speaker 3: news Talk ZBB.

1322
01:09:09,427 --> 01:09:14,347
Speaker 1: It's more than just a game Weekend Sports with GJ. Guggos,

1323
01:09:14,427 --> 01:09:17,747
Speaker 1: New Zealand's most trusted home builder News DOGSB.

1324
01:09:18,947 --> 01:09:22,267
Speaker 3: Twenty way from two on news Talk zibby plenty of

1325
01:09:22,307 --> 01:09:25,347
Speaker 3: texts flooding in. They're largely supporting a tag. I think

1326
01:09:25,387 --> 01:09:28,787
Speaker 3: it's fair to say Mark from christ Church with us

1327
01:09:28,827 --> 01:09:32,907
Speaker 3: high Elliott always love the anti anti Canterbury fluff. Go

1328
01:09:33,027 --> 01:09:35,547
Speaker 3: the Red and Blacks. Cheers Mark, Nice to hear from you.

1329
01:09:36,107 --> 01:09:40,107
Speaker 3: Another one I'm supporting Otago is that a lesser of

1330
01:09:40,187 --> 01:09:43,947
Speaker 3: two evils? Thank you very much, Rob with this high

1331
01:09:43,987 --> 01:09:47,147
Speaker 3: great show go Otago. Love your exciting commentaries. Cheer Rob,

1332
01:09:47,267 --> 01:09:49,307
Speaker 3: Cheers Rob. That's very nice, Rob, Thank you very much.

1333
01:09:50,867 --> 01:09:54,467
Speaker 3: This is from pat Hi. I think Otago will win

1334
01:09:54,747 --> 01:10:00,107
Speaker 3: for four reasons the numbers nine, ten, seven and fifteen.

1335
01:10:01,067 --> 01:10:03,027
Speaker 3: I think they could all be in the All Blacks now,

1336
01:10:03,227 --> 01:10:05,387
Speaker 3: not in years to Come watch and tell me I'm wrong,

1337
01:10:05,467 --> 01:10:12,467
Speaker 3: cheers Pat. So that's Pledger, Miller, Casey, and I assume Gilbert.

1338
01:10:14,867 --> 01:10:16,987
Speaker 3: I think Gilbert or Gilbert is definitely heading overseas to

1339
01:10:17,027 --> 01:10:19,667
Speaker 3: Connitt in Ireland at the end of the season. But

1340
01:10:20,347 --> 01:10:26,307
Speaker 3: the three that you mentioned there, Pledger, Miller and Casey,

1341
01:10:26,387 --> 01:10:29,747
Speaker 3: I think are all capable of being All Blacks down

1342
01:10:29,787 --> 01:10:32,067
Speaker 3: the track. I mean, Pledger, I would have taken at

1343
01:10:32,147 --> 01:10:36,067
Speaker 3: least on the All Blacks fifteen tour this year. Thanks Pat,

1344
01:10:36,147 --> 01:10:39,347
Speaker 3: nice text, Hi otarger to win down here. We all

1345
01:10:39,347 --> 01:10:41,547
Speaker 3: down here and need another glory day like nineteen ninety eight.

1346
01:10:41,547 --> 01:10:43,707
Speaker 3: Our team means so much to us and just lifts

1347
01:10:43,747 --> 01:10:46,027
Speaker 3: the spirits of the province. We've got so much better

1348
01:10:46,027 --> 01:10:48,067
Speaker 3: with each game and strengthen all positions with the bench

1349
01:10:48,107 --> 01:10:51,147
Speaker 3: to match. Hopefully injuries yellow recards don't play a part

1350
01:10:51,147 --> 01:10:53,747
Speaker 3: and spoil a great game too, right, Thanks very much

1351
01:10:53,787 --> 01:10:56,347
Speaker 3: for the text this afternoon, Let's go to the lines afternoon, Graham,

1352
01:10:56,387 --> 01:10:58,107
Speaker 3: how are you very good?

1353
01:10:58,347 --> 01:11:02,587
Speaker 2: Great day to hear. I know the whole country thinks

1354
01:11:02,587 --> 01:11:04,667
Speaker 2: the target is going to different wants them to but

1355
01:11:05,627 --> 01:11:08,947
Speaker 2: and that's part of the course. But you know, I'm confident,

1356
01:11:08,987 --> 01:11:11,867
Speaker 2: Tom Christie, you know the last game, I leave the

1357
01:11:11,867 --> 01:11:13,387
Speaker 2: Cannavary boys out to victory.

1358
01:11:14,467 --> 01:11:14,667
Speaker 1: You know.

1359
01:11:14,667 --> 01:11:18,107
Speaker 2: He took the shield offers Canterby, you know, and let

1360
01:11:18,107 --> 01:11:21,307
Speaker 2: themselves down in the last fifteen in that game, and

1361
01:11:21,667 --> 01:11:25,107
Speaker 2: a better side than that, And yeah, I ready believe that.

1362
01:11:25,747 --> 01:11:27,627
Speaker 2: But it's going to be a great game.

1363
01:11:27,587 --> 01:11:30,547
Speaker 5: Now out you're hitting a long grind of course.

1364
01:11:30,627 --> 01:11:34,067
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've had a few days in hospital, so say,

1365
01:11:34,147 --> 01:11:36,707
Speaker 2: oh yeah, it was it six days. So I got

1366
01:11:36,747 --> 01:11:39,227
Speaker 2: out a couple of days ago, so very relieved and

1367
01:11:39,307 --> 01:11:44,347

1368
01:11:44,387 --> 01:11:47,187
Speaker 2: to the game. Yes, but yeah, so that was a

1369
01:11:47,187 --> 01:11:49,947
Speaker 2: bit of a bit of a handicap last weekend.

1370
01:11:50,067 --> 01:11:51,907
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to hear that, but I hope you're better

1371
01:11:51,947 --> 01:11:54,427
Speaker 3: and can enjoy the finals afternoon, you know.

1372

Speaker 17: in the South Island, I'm quite happy.

1379
01:12:12,987 --> 01:12:14,107

01:12:15,387 --> 01:12:17,187
Speaker 17: It is, Yeah, I can't lose. And I'm taking my

1381

Speaker 17: You Oh no, we haven't got any jerseys or anything

1386
01:12:27,027 --> 01:12:29,827
Speaker 17: like that. But we're one of the silent majority in

1387
01:12:29,867 --> 01:12:31,507
Speaker 17: the background that's just cheering.

1388
01:12:31,267 --> 01:12:31,827
Speaker 9: Them all the way.

1398
01:12:53,947 --> 01:12:55,787
Speaker 3: Last text on this one for the time being says

01:13:02,907 --> 01:13:04,507
Speaker 3: time being. Nine two down too, might get to a

1402
01:13:04,507 --> 01:13:07,627
Speaker 3: few more after we chat too. Adam Peacock, who's standing

1403
01:13:07,667 --> 01:13:11,627
Speaker 3: by from across the Tasman let's talk Australian sport as

1404
01:13:11,667 --> 01:13:15,147
Speaker 3: we do around this time every Saturday afternoon. Adam plenty

1405
01:13:15,187 --> 01:13:17,667
Speaker 3: to get stuck into as always, first and foremost, how

1406
01:13:17,747 --> 01:13:17,907
Speaker 3: are you?

1407
01:13:18,427 --> 01:13:18,747
Speaker 7: How are you?

1408
01:13:18,827 --> 01:13:19,027
Speaker 15: Vane?

1409
01:13:19,227 --> 01:13:22,587
Speaker 3: Very well, indeed very well well. The Pacific Championships in

1410
01:13:22,267 --> 01:13:25,587
Speaker 3: the nrral the rugby league in full swing. One not

1411
01:13:25,707 --> 01:13:29,507
Speaker 3: matter that Australia is over in London because some more

1412
01:13:29,587 --> 01:13:34,387
Speaker 3: and Tonga seem to have overtaken rugby league in Australia.

1413
01:13:34,667 --> 01:13:37,867
Speaker 10: Well, I will tomorrow afternoon up up at sun for

1414
01:13:38,067 --> 01:13:42,147
Speaker 10: it will be extraordinary scenes with forty five sixty thousand

1415
01:13:42,187 --> 01:13:44,987
Speaker 10: people there. So I had no open training sessions this

1416
01:13:45,067 --> 01:13:47,907
Speaker 10: week in Logan, which is just south of Brisbane, and

1417
01:13:47,947 --> 01:13:51,427
Speaker 10: there are thousands of people there. It's awesome that they're

1418
01:13:51,427 --> 01:13:57,547
Speaker 10: a huge diaspa in Southeast Queensland summer and Tongan expatriots

1419
01:13:57,787 --> 01:13:59,747
Speaker 10: and they're all getting behind it because they all love

1420
01:13:59,787 --> 01:14:02,867
Speaker 10: their footy and they've got so many big name players.

1421
01:14:02,867 --> 01:14:04,267
Speaker 10: I mean you have a look at the two forward

1422
01:14:04,267 --> 01:14:07,587
Speaker 10: packs just to set the prop splaceicarly going out each other,

1423
01:14:07,667 --> 01:14:09,987
Speaker 10: and then you look at the third ends Junior Paulow

1424
01:14:10,067 --> 01:14:14,387
Speaker 10: and Jason toal Malolo. It's it's pain haa Stefan Ta Kamano.

1425
01:14:14,507 --> 01:14:17,387
Speaker 10: There's so many great players that are going to rip

1426
01:14:17,387 --> 01:14:19,587
Speaker 10: into each other and it'll be spectaclely more ways than one.

1427
01:14:19,747 --> 01:14:22,987
Speaker 3: Yeah, and origin still remains I guess that the pinnacle

1428
01:14:23,027 --> 01:14:24,667
Speaker 3: for rugby league. But when you've got players that are

1429
01:14:24,667 --> 01:14:28,827
Speaker 3: playing both like this and representing their country and playing,

1430
01:14:28,907 --> 01:14:32,547
Speaker 3: you know, for the Pacific Islands, the emotions there, the

1431
01:14:32,587 --> 01:14:35,107
Speaker 3: passions there, and boy they delivered. We saw that last

1432
01:14:35,147 --> 01:14:37,507
Speaker 3: week in the kiwis in some organ I'm sure it's

1433
01:14:37,507 --> 01:14:41,187
Speaker 3: going to be the same tomorrow afternoon, Yeah, exactly.

1434
01:14:41,227 --> 01:14:44,427
Speaker 10: And a throw forward for the Rugby League World Cup

1435
01:14:45,227 --> 01:14:47,067
Speaker 10: next year, I think it is that if you want

1436
01:14:47,067 --> 01:14:50,187
Speaker 10: a World Cup, you need more than probably three nations

1437
01:14:50,187 --> 01:14:53,907
Speaker 10: and then some lowly ranked nation making the semi finals

1438
01:14:53,907 --> 01:14:55,027
Speaker 10: and just making up the numbers.

1439
01:14:55,067 --> 01:14:55,547
Speaker 11: Now with some.

1440
01:14:55,587 --> 01:15:00,067
Speaker 10: Oatma, Pigi's ever improving as well. They've got that attachment

1441
01:15:00,067 --> 01:15:03,707
Speaker 10: to some great rugby players, and then Australia, England, New

1442
01:15:03,787 --> 01:15:07,707
Speaker 10: Zealand the established ones. Now that the NRL is going

1443
01:15:07,707 --> 01:15:10,667
Speaker 10: to go into PMG, that's going to improve over the years. Yeah,

1444
01:15:10,747 --> 01:15:12,467
Speaker 10: and now you're talking about a World Cup with some

1445
01:15:12,587 --> 01:15:16,427
Speaker 10: intrigue beyond the semi finals and the good thing for

1446
01:15:16,507 --> 01:15:20,427
Speaker 10: the competition, adds another layer for everyone to get excited about.

1447
01:15:20,547 --> 01:15:23,987
Speaker 10: Fill some holes on the calendar worthy ones as well.

1448
01:15:24,027 --> 01:15:27,267
Speaker 10: So yeah, there's not many. There's not many downsides to

1449
01:15:27,587 --> 01:15:29,387
Speaker 10: what's going on at the moment with that in that.

1450
01:15:29,307 --> 01:15:32,787
Speaker 3: Regard, certainly isn't Moody Valley. I'm sure we'll be jumping

1451
01:15:33,347 --> 01:15:37,187
Speaker 3: later today the cox plates going on. Does I still

1452
01:15:37,187 --> 01:15:39,307
Speaker 3: hold the plot prior to place? I guess in the

1453
01:15:39,307 --> 01:15:40,707
Speaker 3: build up to the Melbourne Cup.

1454
01:15:41,747 --> 01:15:44,587
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's always regarded as the best wait for h

1455
01:15:45,227 --> 01:15:50,107
Speaker 10: race in Australia and now this year isn't a cracking edition,

1456
01:15:50,267 --> 01:15:51,787
Speaker 10: but it still got to be a Sestina who won

1457
01:15:51,787 --> 01:15:54,307
Speaker 10: the race by seven links last year, so it's still

1458
01:15:54,347 --> 01:15:57,307
Speaker 10: got some quality. Antino near enough to favorite with her

1459
01:15:57,747 --> 01:16:00,947
Speaker 10: as well. But yeah, just the edge has been taken

1460
01:16:00,987 --> 01:16:02,467
Speaker 10: off a little bit by the fact that last week

1461
01:16:02,467 --> 01:16:04,507
Speaker 10: we had a massive Dame City with the Everest and

1462
01:16:05,027 --> 01:16:07,747
Speaker 10: Corfield Cup days a great day out as well. This

1463
01:16:07,987 --> 01:16:09,547
Speaker 10: is the last year for a few years.

1464
01:16:09,427 --> 01:16:10,107
Speaker 7: At Mooney Valley.

1465
01:16:10,107 --> 01:16:14,827
Speaker 10: They're actually redeveloping it and reconfiguring it as well. But yeah,

1466
01:16:15,307 --> 01:16:17,147
Speaker 10: I take what edge has.

1467
01:16:17,067 --> 01:16:17,507
Speaker 7: Gone off it.

1468
01:16:17,627 --> 01:16:19,787
Speaker 10: But when the race comes around it it will still

1469
01:16:19,827 --> 01:16:23,307
Speaker 10: be a fantastic race and one with a lot of intrigue,

1470
01:16:23,307 --> 01:16:25,547
Speaker 10: and we'll get a lot of notes over here. It's

1471
01:16:25,587 --> 01:16:28,947
Speaker 10: near enough to six o'clock over here later this afternoon.

1472
01:16:29,027 --> 01:16:32,987
Speaker 10: So yeah, those who at Mooney Valley who are still standing, yeah,

1473
01:16:33,027 --> 01:16:34,627
Speaker 10: they're going to enjoy it.

1474
01:16:34,787 --> 01:16:37,707
Speaker 3: Still standing as a very very good question. James McDonald

1475
01:16:37,707 --> 01:16:42,307
Speaker 3: A Kiley on vas Sustaina goes in as the favorite, Yeah.

1476
01:16:42,147 --> 01:16:45,667
Speaker 10: Yeah, and deservedly so. Look, we probably the favorite was

1477
01:16:45,707 --> 01:16:48,387
Speaker 10: the Delius, but he got ruled out because they're not

1478
01:16:48,387 --> 01:16:50,867
Speaker 10: happy with his bone scans the hor so they'd have

1479
01:16:50,947 --> 01:16:53,467
Speaker 10: to stell it out of the Melbourne Cup as well.

1480
01:16:54,027 --> 01:16:57,147
Speaker 10: But hasn't been as dominant as she has been in

1481
01:16:57,187 --> 01:17:00,267
Speaker 10: the last couple of campaigns. This campaign, she's taken a

1482
01:17:00,307 --> 01:17:01,827
Speaker 10: bit of a while to get going and she I

1483
01:17:01,867 --> 01:17:05,027
Speaker 10: think she's a little bit vulnerable with Antina today. That yeah,

1484
01:17:05,107 --> 01:17:08,227
Speaker 10: j Macki's yeah, it seems to be around the mark.

1485
01:17:08,307 --> 01:17:11,467
Speaker 10: You haven't had the dominant spring so far, but you're

1486
01:17:11,507 --> 01:17:14,027
Speaker 10: just waiting for someone like this to go and ride

1487
01:17:14,027 --> 01:17:15,907
Speaker 10: five winners on a day like Cocks Play Day and

1488
01:17:16,387 --> 01:17:18,667
Speaker 10: the major winner as well. So yeah, Joe Mack will

1489
01:17:18,707 --> 01:17:22,187
Speaker 10: be there close enough, if good enough in all of

1490
01:17:22,187 --> 01:17:23,227
Speaker 10: these races.

1491
01:17:22,827 --> 01:17:24,867
Speaker 3: Where are they going to move the cox plate too?

1492
01:17:24,867 --> 01:17:28,907
Speaker 3: While Mooney Valley gets a research, I reckon.

1493
01:17:28,787 --> 01:17:31,507
Speaker 10: It's flooding to next year that they decided on. They

1494
01:17:31,587 --> 01:17:33,587
Speaker 10: might shift it around, they might go out the corefield,

1495
01:17:33,747 --> 01:17:36,147
Speaker 10: but I think, yeah, flooding to this year. I don't

1496
01:17:36,187 --> 01:17:38,227
Speaker 10: know how many years they was out to play of

1497
01:17:38,467 --> 01:17:41,187
Speaker 10: a couple of years, but yeah, it's a bit of

1498
01:17:41,187 --> 01:17:43,347
Speaker 10: a shame because Mooney Valley, if you don't know your

1499
01:17:43,347 --> 01:17:48,427
Speaker 10: horse racing, is this uniquely shaped venue whereas it's like

1500
01:17:48,467 --> 01:17:53,227
Speaker 10: an anti sitter and the horses go away, the side

1501
01:17:53,267 --> 01:17:55,387
Speaker 10: straights are long, and the home straight and the back

1502
01:17:55,387 --> 01:17:59,387
Speaker 10: straight very short, so it's like almost like cricket oval shape.

1503
01:17:59,947 --> 01:18:01,587
Speaker 10: So yeah, I don't know if they're going to come

1504
01:18:01,587 --> 01:18:05,147
Speaker 10: back with that configuration, but it's it's got its unique characteristics.

1505
01:18:04,867 --> 01:18:07,187
Speaker 10: And it's a close setting as well, So they come

1506
01:18:07,227 --> 01:18:09,067
Speaker 10: around the turn and everyone's on top of each other,

1507
01:18:09,187 --> 01:18:11,667
Speaker 10: forty thousand people, and it holds the noise. So it's

1508
01:18:11,667 --> 01:18:13,467
Speaker 10: a great atmosphere there and I'm sure it will be

1509
01:18:13,787 --> 01:18:14,427
Speaker 10: light at the data.

1510
01:18:14,587 --> 01:18:17,267
Speaker 3: We'll speaking of cricket ovals, the ashes not too far

1511
01:18:17,347 --> 01:18:20,627
Speaker 3: away we're on the countdown. Look, there's some you know

1512
01:18:20,627 --> 01:18:24,107
Speaker 3: obviously news around the squad where Pet Cummings you know

1513
01:18:24,147 --> 01:18:27,187
Speaker 3: in question as well. So what three or four weeks

1514
01:18:27,227 --> 01:18:29,627
Speaker 3: out from that first tiste, how is the preparations going

1515
01:18:29,627 --> 01:18:30,227
Speaker 3: for Australia.

1516
01:18:31,067 --> 01:18:34,227
Speaker 10: Yeah, Patty's running, which is good. It's a good sign,

1517
01:18:34,227 --> 01:18:36,467
Speaker 10: but he's not bowling yet. You've got to build up

1518
01:18:36,467 --> 01:18:39,027
Speaker 10: to be able to then get the running part right.

1519
01:18:39,067 --> 01:18:42,427
Speaker 10: And then because he's got to lower back, little hotspot

1520
01:18:42,707 --> 01:18:46,587
Speaker 10: that'll signed early early sign of a stress fracture. So

1521
01:18:46,627 --> 01:18:49,387
Speaker 10: you had to ease right off and with those things

1522
01:18:49,627 --> 01:18:51,547
Speaker 10: I know about lower backs unfortunately, like a lot of

1523
01:18:51,627 --> 01:18:55,427
Speaker 10: middle age men, if you start to twist and turn

1524
01:18:55,987 --> 01:18:59,667
Speaker 10: before the things one hundred percent, you'll know you are

1525
01:18:59,867 --> 01:19:03,347
Speaker 10: absolutely no hope. So yeah, bowling be able to twisting

1526
01:19:03,347 --> 01:19:06,827
Speaker 10: and turning it when you're running in it as an hour,

1527
01:19:06,947 --> 01:19:09,187
Speaker 10: So yeah, it's not great for a lower back.

1528
01:19:09,227 --> 01:19:10,267
Speaker 5: So he's got to make sure of it.

1529
01:19:10,307 --> 01:19:12,267
Speaker 10: But that's the big story. And then the other story,

1530
01:19:12,387 --> 01:19:14,667
Speaker 10: who's going to back to Australian Marnus Lavashane has come

1531
01:19:14,667 --> 01:19:16,907
Speaker 10: good again, so it looks like he'll be back in.

1532
01:19:17,987 --> 01:19:19,747
Speaker 10: I think the top six will be decided by the

1533
01:19:19,747 --> 01:19:22,587
Speaker 10: fact that if Cameron Green can bowl. If he can bowl,

1534
01:19:22,627 --> 01:19:26,267
Speaker 10: he'll probably play six manus three another opener needed. If

1535
01:19:26,307 --> 01:19:29,907
Speaker 10: Cameron Green can't bowl, he backed at three, Marnus opens

1536
01:19:30,147 --> 01:19:32,867
Speaker 10: and Doe Webster plays at six. That's the general thought

1537
01:19:32,987 --> 01:19:34,347
Speaker 10: over here, but it was a little bit of cricket

1538
01:19:34,347 --> 01:19:35,507
Speaker 10: to play before the first Test.

1539
01:19:35,587 --> 01:19:37,267
Speaker 3: One of the things I love, finally, Adam, is all

1540
01:19:37,307 --> 01:19:38,507
Speaker 3: the predictions pretty serious.

1541
01:19:38,507 --> 01:19:38,667
Speaker 8: Think.

1542
01:19:38,707 --> 01:19:41,187
Speaker 3: David Lloyd said this week five mil England, Stewart broad

1543
01:19:41,267 --> 01:19:43,907
Speaker 3: seeds some oflar. I think Glen mcgrat always is five

1544
01:19:43,947 --> 01:19:46,147
Speaker 3: mil Australia. This has when the pun that's really make

1545
01:19:46,227 --> 01:19:48,507
Speaker 3: their They die with these predictions.

1546
01:19:49,227 --> 01:19:52,507
Speaker 10: Yeah, we Lloyd and McGrath are just like stupid de

1547
01:19:52,587 --> 01:19:58,427
Speaker 10: biased and I emphasized closers there, but no, you understand it.

1548
01:19:58,467 --> 01:20:01,147
Speaker 10: I mean David Lloyd was just doing it for cause

1549
01:20:01,147 --> 01:20:03,547
Speaker 10: and effects because for glenmc grath. But the only reason

1550
01:20:03,547 --> 01:20:05,147
Speaker 10: why he said that, I think he's going to be

1551
01:20:05,187 --> 01:20:08,747
Speaker 10: a really clot serious hope webstays or these two sides,

1552
01:20:08,987 --> 01:20:12,307
Speaker 10: especially England, like the movie game on. So if we

1553
01:20:12,387 --> 01:20:17,027
Speaker 10: get the big thing is is actually what the services

1554
01:20:17,067 --> 01:20:21,587
Speaker 10: throw up now Historically you think Australia flat bouncy wickets.

1555
01:20:21,627 --> 01:20:25,347
Speaker 10: You know, batters really prosper if they get through the

1556
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:29,067
Speaker 10: tough initial period. But last year and maybe the year before,

1557
01:20:29,067 --> 01:20:31,227
Speaker 10: there's there's been a big in him. They've had the

1558
01:20:31,267 --> 01:20:34,467
Speaker 10: profile more of the wicket you might find over your

1559
01:20:34,467 --> 01:20:37,387
Speaker 10: way or in England. So yeah, I'll be interested to

1560
01:20:37,427 --> 01:20:39,547
Speaker 10: see what is served up and that will determine the

1561
01:20:39,587 --> 01:20:41,067
Speaker 10: length of the game, So we could see some three

1562
01:20:41,107 --> 01:20:41,947
Speaker 10: day tests for sure.

1563
01:20:42,267 --> 01:20:44,587

Speaker 3: Unfortunately they didn't go on to win the title, of course,

1692
01:28:04,867 --> 01:28:09,147
Speaker 3: losing to Melbourne victory in the semi finals last season.

Speaker 7: it's our spiritual home, it's our fortress's fativa fied up.

1705
01:28:41,627 --> 01:28:43,507
Speaker 7: I think we're pretty we're looking good in terms of

1706
01:28:44,627 --> 01:28:46,987
Speaker 7: fitness for all the players. We should have a full

1707
01:28:47,027 --> 01:28:50,987
Speaker 7: squad available. Other than I think Pionakerer Nando's out for

1708
01:28:50,987 --> 01:28:55,307
Speaker 7: a little bit. We're very It is a good kind

1709
01:28:55,347 --> 01:28:59,507
Speaker 7: of labor weekend crowd. I think half of Augland's gone

1710
01:28:59,507 --> 01:29:01,787
Speaker 7: away that the other half of here hope you're going

1711
01:29:01,827 --> 01:29:03,027
Speaker 7: to make it along to the game today.

1712
01:29:03,467 --> 01:29:06,627
Speaker 3: Ticket sales are pretty hell healthy bad.

1713
01:29:06,627 --> 01:29:09,947
Speaker 7: They're not bad, but especially given it's the first long

1714
01:29:09,947 --> 01:29:13,347
Speaker 7: weekend for people, so understandably a few of a few

1715
01:29:13,347 --> 01:29:16,787
Speaker 7: have hited out, but really kind of positive response from

1716
01:29:16,787 --> 01:29:19,547
Speaker 7: everybody who's been here. The port sold out so there'd

1717
01:29:19,547 --> 01:29:22,027
Speaker 7: be full voice in there, so you really looking forward

1718
01:29:22,067 --> 01:29:22,547
Speaker 7: to be back.

1719
01:29:22,827 --> 01:29:25,227
Speaker 3: How much did you at the end of last season

1720
01:29:25,347 --> 01:29:28,027
Speaker 3: sit back, take a deep breath and look back and

1721
01:29:28,267 --> 01:29:30,467
Speaker 3: what lessons did you take out of that first campaign?

1722
01:29:31,547 --> 01:29:33,267
Speaker 7: Wow? When we to be honest, when we lost the

1723
01:29:33,267 --> 01:29:36,187
Speaker 7: City finals, absolutely gutted And it's kind of really weird

1724
01:29:36,187 --> 01:29:38,107
Speaker 7: feeling because you've got all these plans on about a

1725
01:29:38,107 --> 01:29:41,027
Speaker 7: Grand final and then suddenly you know, you've got nothing

1726
01:29:41,067 --> 01:29:43,627
Speaker 7: to do and no one's calling you. But after that

1727
01:29:43,707 --> 01:29:45,867
Speaker 7: we got over that. You sort of took a bit

1728
01:29:45,907 --> 01:29:48,987
Speaker 7: of time to step back and reflect, and we're all

1729
01:29:49,067 --> 01:29:53,427
Speaker 7: super proud of what we're achieved last season. I think

1730
01:29:53,467 --> 01:29:55,107
Speaker 7: the fact that we didn't go all the way through

1731
01:29:55,147 --> 01:29:58,587
Speaker 7: to a Grand Final and when that was was sort

1732
01:29:58,627 --> 01:30:01,747
Speaker 7: of motivation for us this season. And I think, you know,

1733
01:30:01,827 --> 01:30:05,507
Speaker 7: also the way that Auckland responded to us, and you know,

1734
01:30:05,547 --> 01:30:08,267
Speaker 7: we said right from the we wanted to make Auckland

1735
01:30:08,267 --> 01:30:10,307
Speaker 7: proud as a club for both what we did on

1736
01:30:10,347 --> 01:30:12,507
Speaker 7: the pitch and off it, and the fact that we

1737
01:30:12,587 --> 01:30:15,387
Speaker 7: got that response from from Ukander's turning up at our games,

1738
01:30:15,387 --> 01:30:17,267
Speaker 7: you know, two hundred and forty thousand people through our

1739
01:30:17,267 --> 01:30:20,947
Speaker 7: gates last season. We just want to really repay that

1740
01:30:21,027 --> 01:30:23,507
Speaker 7: support and that faith and kind of just go again

1741
01:30:23,627 --> 01:30:26,427
Speaker 7: this season and kind of go for the go for

1742
01:30:26,467 --> 01:30:29,387
Speaker 7: the double if we can, but just try try and

1743
01:30:29,427 --> 01:30:31,227
Speaker 7: do everything that we can on and off the pitch.

1744
01:30:31,547 --> 01:30:34,587
Speaker 3: Was there anything that surprised you last season about the

1745
01:30:34,587 --> 01:30:39,587
Speaker 3: competition or the way that maybe Aucklanders embrace this team.

1746
01:30:40,627 --> 01:30:45,107
Speaker 7: I think, you know, we're really happy with the fact

1747
01:30:45,107 --> 01:30:48,707
Speaker 7: that we you know, we play on a Saturday at

1748
01:30:48,707 --> 01:30:51,227
Speaker 7: five pm or a Sunday at three pm, so you

1749
01:30:51,267 --> 01:30:53,107
Speaker 7: get that kind of like weekend where a whole family

1750
01:30:53,147 --> 01:30:56,227
Speaker 7: can come along, the sun shining and playing across summer.

1751
01:30:56,547 --> 01:30:58,667
Speaker 7: And it was just offering something different to Aucklanders and

1752
01:30:58,947 --> 01:31:00,627
Speaker 7: they sort of, you know, they came along and tried

1753
01:31:00,707 --> 01:31:03,027
Speaker 7: it and saw what we're all about and kind of

1754
01:31:03,027 --> 01:31:04,907
Speaker 7: loved the match that experience and came back. And I

1755
01:31:04,907 --> 01:31:07,147
Speaker 7: think that was already you know, big thing for us

1756
01:31:07,267 --> 01:31:09,867
Speaker 7: was just to do something differently, to be bold and

1757
01:31:10,507 --> 01:31:12,947
Speaker 7: to be creative with what we did at Go Media,

1758
01:31:13,307 --> 01:31:14,827
Speaker 7: and I think Orkinder just loved it when they came

1759
01:31:14,827 --> 01:31:16,747
Speaker 7: along and saw it, and you know, I was just

1760
01:31:16,747 --> 01:31:18,787
Speaker 7: absolutely buying away with a number of families and kids

1761
01:31:18,827 --> 01:31:21,907
Speaker 7: that were in our games, and then suddenly blown away

1762
01:31:21,907 --> 01:31:24,747
Speaker 7: with the fact that we saw our shirt on kids

1763
01:31:24,787 --> 01:31:27,267
Speaker 7: all across Auckland and you saw them everywhere. You know,

1764
01:31:27,387 --> 01:31:29,787
Speaker 7: it's it's really impressive.

1765
01:31:29,907 --> 01:31:31,307
Speaker 3: Well, I came back last year. I was I was

1766
01:31:31,307 --> 01:31:32,787
Speaker 3: away with the covering the all blacks and the end

1767
01:31:32,827 --> 01:31:35,067
Speaker 3: of the year too, and that was what late October

1768
01:31:35,227 --> 01:31:38,947
Speaker 3: early to late November came back and they were everywhere.

1769
01:31:38,987 --> 01:31:40,347
Speaker 3: When I got back and it was something I really

1770
01:31:40,347 --> 01:31:41,947
Speaker 3: noticed is that in the month I had been gone,

1771
01:31:41,987 --> 01:31:43,867
Speaker 3: the season had really started by before I left, but

1772
01:31:44,347 --> 01:31:46,547
Speaker 3: Auckland had picked up this team that embraced it. The

1773
01:31:46,587 --> 01:31:48,987
Speaker 3: jerseys were selling, people were wearing them out and about,

1774
01:31:49,027 --> 01:31:50,267
Speaker 3: and very quickly caught on.

1775
01:31:51,147 --> 01:31:52,947
Speaker 7: Yeah it did, it did, And I think that was

1776
01:31:52,947 --> 01:31:54,707
Speaker 7: the thing. And I think what we did is, you know,

1777
01:31:54,707 --> 01:31:56,987
Speaker 7: there was a real energy on the pitch. We're playing

1778
01:31:57,307 --> 01:31:59,787
Speaker 7: exciting football. We were winning games in the last minute.

1779
01:31:59,907 --> 01:32:01,787
Speaker 7: You know, the team's made up with a lot of

1780
01:32:01,827 --> 01:32:04,387
Speaker 7: Kiwis and a lot of Aucklanders in the squad, and

1781
01:32:04,387 --> 01:32:06,987
Speaker 7: then a bit of exciting you know todaytional flare on

1782
01:32:07,067 --> 01:32:09,667
Speaker 7: there too. And then you get along to the matchday experience.

1783
01:32:09,747 --> 01:32:12,507
Speaker 7: You go think, well, that's interesting. I'm seeing the shirt everywhere.

1784
01:32:12,507 --> 01:32:13,827
Speaker 7: I'll go along to a game. You go to the

1785
01:32:13,867 --> 01:32:16,307
Speaker 7: game and you said, there's a big inflatable slide down

1786
01:32:16,347 --> 01:32:19,627
Speaker 7: the hill. You've got this hardcore fan group who are

1787
01:32:20,067 --> 01:32:22,627
Speaker 7: who have that kind of bring that atmosphere, the color

1788
01:32:22,667 --> 01:32:24,947
Speaker 7: and the noise, and they're chanting and singing the whole game.

1789
01:32:25,227 --> 01:32:27,147
Speaker 7: And it's not anything like what you see in New

1790
01:32:27,227 --> 01:32:30,427
Speaker 7: Zealand sport. It's completely different, and that's what we set

1791
01:32:30,427 --> 01:32:33,027
Speaker 7: out to do, and we delivered that last season, and

1792
01:32:33,067 --> 01:32:34,827
Speaker 7: we're just going to keep on doing it this season.

1793
01:32:34,867 --> 01:32:37,067
Speaker 7: You know, we're constantly looking to tweak it.

1794
01:32:37,907 --> 01:32:38,147
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1795
01:32:38,267 --> 01:32:40,707
Speaker 3: I mean people talk about the second season syndrome or

1796
01:32:40,747 --> 01:32:42,787
Speaker 3: the second album when it comes to musicians and that

1797
01:32:42,827 --> 01:32:45,227
Speaker 3: sort of thing. Backing it up can be difficult. How

1798
01:32:45,227 --> 01:32:47,187
Speaker 3: have you approached that this season? How have you built

1799
01:32:47,267 --> 01:32:48,707
Speaker 3: on what you did last season? I guess from a

1800
01:32:48,747 --> 01:32:49,947
Speaker 3: fan experience.

1801
01:32:50,147 --> 01:32:52,507
Speaker 7: Yeah, you should know what. That's also a real key

1802
01:32:52,547 --> 01:32:54,027
Speaker 7: wee thing to do, isn't it is? It's kind of

1803
01:32:54,067 --> 01:32:55,667
Speaker 7: go all else. It's going to be hard to do

1804
01:32:55,787 --> 01:32:58,587
Speaker 7: that again. But you know, for us, I think it's

1805
01:32:58,627 --> 01:33:00,827
Speaker 7: actually like it's a bit of a challenge. It's a

1806
01:33:00,827 --> 01:33:03,787
Speaker 7: bit of an opportunity, Like we are gonna, Yeah, we

1807
01:33:03,827 --> 01:33:05,547
Speaker 7: may not go as well as we did last season,

1808
01:33:05,547 --> 01:33:07,307
Speaker 7: but we're going to try hard as we did, and

1809
01:33:07,347 --> 01:33:08,627
Speaker 7: we're going to work as hard as we did, and

1810
01:33:08,627 --> 01:33:10,987
Speaker 7: we're gonna we're going to continue to do things differently

1811
01:33:11,027 --> 01:33:13,547
Speaker 7: and continue to kind of like look at challenge, what

1812
01:33:13,947 --> 01:33:16,107
Speaker 7: is just the normal? I think that's all that we

1813
01:33:16,147 --> 01:33:18,027
Speaker 7: can do as long as we can sit back and

1814
01:33:18,067 --> 01:33:19,907
Speaker 7: go yeah, what at the end of the season, we

1815
01:33:19,987 --> 01:33:22,867
Speaker 7: gave that absolutely everything. I think the fans will respond

1816
01:33:22,907 --> 01:33:25,347
Speaker 7: really well. I think football fans are a bit different too.

1817
01:33:25,387 --> 01:33:28,907
Speaker 7: They that tribal and they and they you know, they

1818
01:33:28,947 --> 01:33:31,547
Speaker 7: pick their team and they stick with it through you know,

1819
01:33:31,667 --> 01:33:33,987
Speaker 7: thick and thin, rain or sun, whatever it may be,

1820
01:33:34,907 --> 01:33:36,747
Speaker 7: and so you kind of have that that hopefully we

1821
01:33:36,747 --> 01:33:39,347
Speaker 7: will have that hardcore attitude which is like Awk of

1822
01:33:39,387 --> 01:33:42,427
Speaker 7: their Sea is my team, and hopefully that just seeps

1823
01:33:42,427 --> 01:33:44,587
Speaker 7: out and resonates across the whole the whole fan base

1824
01:33:44,627 --> 01:33:45,067
Speaker 7: as well.

1825
01:33:45,227 --> 01:33:46,827
Speaker 3: Do you think you've got the squad capin will of

1826
01:33:46,867 --> 01:33:47,987
Speaker 3: going all the way this year?

1827
01:33:49,027 --> 01:33:50,747
Speaker 7: I do? I do? You know? We made it. We

1828
01:33:50,867 --> 01:33:54,587
Speaker 7: brought in five players left, so we lost Alex Poulsen.

1829
01:33:54,907 --> 01:33:57,627
Speaker 7: He was probably our biggest loss in terms of a

1830
01:33:57,747 --> 01:33:59,307
Speaker 7: keeper of it. But then we brought in an Oly Sale.

1831
01:33:59,307 --> 01:34:01,667
Speaker 7: We've got two great keepers with Michael Food who's at

1832
01:34:01,747 --> 01:34:04,267
Speaker 7: number one and only sal who's going to constantly challenge

1833
01:34:04,307 --> 01:34:07,827
Speaker 7: him all season. We brought in a new so Max

1834
01:34:07,867 --> 01:34:11,867
Speaker 7: Madda left and we've he went back on loan to Shrewsby,

1835
01:34:11,867 --> 01:34:14,947
Speaker 7: and we brought in a guy called Sam Cosgrove because

1836
01:34:14,947 --> 01:34:18,227
Speaker 7: he is a classic big point man, you know sort

1837
01:34:18,227 --> 01:34:21,947
Speaker 7: of he's he's about six foot five. He'll be enter

1838
01:34:21,947 --> 01:34:23,827
Speaker 7: and around the box if he if he gets on

1839
01:34:23,867 --> 01:34:26,867
Speaker 7: it and start scoring goals, I mean, look out, look

1840
01:34:26,867 --> 01:34:29,507
Speaker 7: out to all the other team's defenses. And we brought

1841
01:34:29,507 --> 01:34:32,187
Speaker 7: it exciting new winger and two a guy called lockey

1842
01:34:32,227 --> 01:34:36,267
Speaker 7: Brook and Lockie has been you know, he set the

1843
01:34:36,427 --> 01:34:39,107
Speaker 7: A League alight a few seasons ago when the MLS.

1844
01:34:39,587 --> 01:34:41,667
Speaker 7: He's come back to do the same again here with us.

1845
01:34:41,707 --> 01:34:45,067
Speaker 7: So I think we brought in some young and attacking

1846
01:34:45,387 --> 01:34:47,867
Speaker 7: quality into the side, and then the rest of the team.

1847
01:34:47,987 --> 01:34:49,707
Speaker 7: You know that was a team around last season. They

1848
01:34:49,747 --> 01:34:52,507
Speaker 7: already know what it's like to win silverware and they

1849
01:34:52,547 --> 01:34:55,427
Speaker 7: also which just importantly is they know what it's like

1850
01:34:55,507 --> 01:34:57,507
Speaker 7: to lose in the semi final and they're going to

1851
01:34:57,547 --> 01:35:00,107
Speaker 7: have to They're going to want to kind of come

1852
01:35:00,107 --> 01:35:01,467
Speaker 7: back and go one better this year.

1853
01:35:01,707 --> 01:35:04,107
Speaker 3: The first derby a couple of weeks away in November

1854
01:35:04,227 --> 01:35:08,027
Speaker 3: down in Wellington. How important are they as the centerpiece

1855
01:35:08,587 --> 01:35:10,787
Speaker 3: of the season, having that three times a campaign.

1856
01:35:11,867 --> 01:35:15,947
Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, everyone loves a derby, right, we certainly do,

1857
01:35:16,147 --> 01:35:18,547
Speaker 7: and and it's also good to see that that kind

1858
01:35:18,547 --> 01:35:20,587
Speaker 7: of New Zealand sports fans have embraced it as well.

1859
01:35:20,667 --> 01:35:23,827
Speaker 7: You know, we had two sold out derbies at go

1860
01:35:23,947 --> 01:35:27,107
Speaker 7: Media last season. I'm sure they'd be great. So we

1861
01:35:27,227 --> 01:35:29,067
Speaker 7: only get one this season, but there'll be two down

1862
01:35:29,067 --> 01:35:31,587
Speaker 7: in Wellington and I'm sure the Wellington fans will turn out.

1863
01:35:31,587 --> 01:35:33,547
Speaker 7: I've got no doubt we'll sell odd hours up here

1864
01:35:33,747 --> 01:35:36,107
Speaker 7: and it shows that the fans want that. There was

1865
01:35:36,147 --> 01:35:40,787
Speaker 7: a great level of kind of i'd call it respectable

1866
01:35:40,867 --> 01:35:44,507
Speaker 7: band if that's not Noxy Warren and and well, you know,

1867
01:35:44,507 --> 01:35:46,427
Speaker 7: we had we had a good dig at each other,

1868
01:35:47,147 --> 01:35:49,187
Speaker 7: but there was a line and nobody crossed it and

1869
01:35:49,667 --> 01:35:51,107
Speaker 7: it was kind of it was a lot of fun

1870
01:35:51,227 --> 01:35:52,987
Speaker 7: and it kind of, you know, it kind of got

1871
01:35:52,987 --> 01:35:55,587
Speaker 7: back into that good old rivalries that New Zealand sport

1872
01:35:55,747 --> 01:35:56,987
Speaker 7: probably hasn't seen for a while.

1873
01:35:57,787 --> 01:36:01,387
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly, and and yeah it's pretty raary, rare at

1874
01:36:01,427 --> 01:36:04,907
Speaker 3: other sports levels obviously as well. Just finally, Nick Becker

1875
01:36:04,947 --> 01:36:06,547
Speaker 3: with us on News Talk Z. But you mentioned the

1876
01:36:06,587 --> 01:36:09,587
Speaker 3: port earlier. How important to have them is a sort

1877
01:36:09,587 --> 01:36:11,507
Speaker 3: of focal point. I know you have families that come

1878
01:36:11,547 --> 01:36:13,667
Speaker 3: along as well, but knowing the port are going to

1879

Speaker 3: be there week in, week out, as you said, Rain

1880

Speaker 3: Haill Shine.

1881
01:36:17,307 --> 01:36:20,547
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, no, we all love the port. The port

1882
01:36:20,547 --> 01:36:23,667
Speaker 7: have built up an amazing connection with with our players

1883
01:36:23,947 --> 01:36:25,547
Speaker 7: but also with the rest of the fan base, and

1884
01:36:25,587 --> 01:36:28,027
Speaker 7: they do bring that color, They do bring something that's

1885
01:36:28,067 --> 01:36:31,347
Speaker 7: hostally unique to New Zealand sport. And they sing and

1886
01:36:31,387 --> 01:36:33,027
Speaker 7: they make noise, and they bring the atmosphere and they

1887
01:36:33,067 --> 01:36:35,267
Speaker 7: just really add to the to the whole match they

1888
01:36:35,307 --> 01:36:36,987
Speaker 7: experience absolutely well.

1889
01:36:37,027 --> 01:36:39,107

Speaker 3: to join us to explain because it's crunch time in

1924
01:38:23,427 --> 01:38:26,627
Speaker 3: terms of making a decision as to whether Liam Lawson

1925
01:38:26,707 --> 01:38:29,507
Speaker 3: is going to have a Formula One seat next year.

1926
01:38:29,587 --> 01:38:32,747
Speaker 3: Chris Midland Formula one Genus with us on the program.

1927
01:38:32,827 --> 01:38:35,187
Speaker 3: Chris Howse Thing, thanks for joining us on News Talk

1928
01:38:35,267 --> 01:38:37,107
Speaker 3: z MB. Yeah, not to be bad for you mate much.

1929
01:38:37,147 --> 01:38:40,107
Speaker 22: You joined in a very noisy Mexico City as one

1930
01:38:40,107 --> 01:38:42,227
Speaker 22: of the most vibrant race weekends of the year gets underway.

1931
01:38:42,267 --> 01:38:44,587
Speaker 3: Well, fantastic time and it feels like a crunch weekend

1932
01:38:44,547 --> 01:38:46,347
Speaker 3: for at least from a New Zealand perspective, where of

1933
01:38:46,387 --> 01:38:50,187
Speaker 3: course following Liam Lawson very very closely, and it feels like,

1934
01:38:50,227 --> 01:38:52,947
Speaker 3: at least from our perspective, all eyes are on this

1935
01:38:53,027 --> 01:38:56,387
Speaker 3: weekend because it feels like a decision is imminence with

1936
01:38:56,507 --> 01:39:00,107
Speaker 3: Liam Lawson's future next year, is it.

1937
01:39:00,107 --> 01:39:02,107
Speaker 22: It seems like way not just about Liam no, but

1938
01:39:02,107 --> 01:39:04,307
Speaker 22: about all the Red Bull drivers. Lian was asked about

1939
01:39:04,307 --> 01:39:06,667
Speaker 22: it actually joining the media sessions yesterday and said, I

1940
01:39:06,707 --> 01:39:08,827
Speaker 22: know nothing at this point, and I feel like we

1941
01:39:08,867 --> 01:39:11,747
Speaker 22: would know if something had happened, because you just get

1942
01:39:11,987 --> 01:39:14,227
Speaker 22: words from within the team. Somebody would pass on the

1943
01:39:14,227 --> 01:39:17,467
Speaker 22: information that a decision had been made. But Red Bull

1944
01:39:17,547 --> 01:39:19,187
Speaker 22: don't have to rush anything they want to do with

1945
01:39:19,227 --> 01:39:21,547
Speaker 22: their drivers. They have them all under contract. They can

1946
01:39:21,587 --> 01:39:23,747
Speaker 22: wait as late as they want in the season. But

1947
01:39:23,867 --> 01:39:25,627
Speaker 22: I think they're aware that for a few of them

1948
01:39:25,827 --> 01:39:28,787
Speaker 22: it would really help give them some certainty. The problem

1949
01:39:28,827 --> 01:39:30,827
Speaker 22: we've got with not just Liam but his teammate either

1950
01:39:30,867 --> 01:39:33,067
Speaker 22: haadchat and with Yuki Snoda in the red Ball alongside

1951
01:39:33,067 --> 01:39:36,707
Speaker 22: Maxistappan is that no one of them is performing consistently

1952
01:39:36,827 --> 01:39:39,507
Speaker 22: at a high enough level to guarantee where they will be.

1953
01:39:39,867 --> 01:39:42,467
Speaker 22: But also none of them are performing consistently low that

1954
01:39:42,507 --> 01:39:44,387
Speaker 22: you think they're going to get replaced. So I do

1955
01:39:44,387 --> 01:39:46,307
Speaker 22: think it's actually quite a tough decision for Red Bull,

1956
01:39:46,307 --> 01:39:48,827
Speaker 22: and I wouldn't be surprised if they review it after

1957
01:39:48,867 --> 01:39:51,027
Speaker 22: this race. But don't actually they make a final call.

1958
01:39:51,347 --> 01:39:54,307
Speaker 22: How much will this weekend really influence it? Because as

1959
01:39:54,347 --> 01:39:56,387
Speaker 22: you say, no one's putting the hit up and going

1960
01:39:56,467 --> 01:39:58,867
Speaker 22: I am the definitive choice. So does it get to

1961
01:39:58,867 --> 01:40:01,747
Speaker 22: the point where little margins can really count in their

1962
01:40:01,747 --> 01:40:05,307
Speaker 22: favor like a good result this weekend? Absolutely, I mean

1963
01:40:05,347 --> 01:40:08,107
Speaker 22: every result matters, every session matters, and just the way

1964
01:40:08,147 --> 01:40:10,427
Speaker 22: you go about your business at this time when decisions

1965
01:40:10,547 --> 01:40:12,427
Speaker 22: being made, we'll really have a bigger influence.

1966
01:40:12,507 --> 01:40:12,667
Speaker 4: You know.

1967
01:40:12,707 --> 01:40:15,507
Speaker 22: Teams would love to say they don't, but recently, buyers

1968
01:40:15,547 --> 01:40:17,827
Speaker 22: always plays into it. And if you're seeing signs of

1969
01:40:17,827 --> 01:40:20,067
Speaker 22: progress as well. For example, you know Liam when he

1970
01:40:20,147 --> 01:40:22,987
Speaker 22: went back to ring balls earlier this year, took him

1971
01:40:22,987 --> 01:40:24,227
Speaker 22: a little while to get that spring back in his

1972
01:40:24,267 --> 01:40:26,147
Speaker 22: step and that confidence back up after the hit of

1973
01:40:26,507 --> 01:40:28,747
Speaker 22: being dropped by Red Bulls so quickly. But the reason

1974
01:40:28,787 --> 01:40:30,187
Speaker 22: they put put him back in that car is they

1975
01:40:30,227 --> 01:40:32,027
Speaker 22: believed in him and his talent that he could still

1976
01:40:32,067 --> 01:40:34,267
Speaker 22: find his feet, and once he did, he's performed very

1977
01:40:34,267 --> 01:40:36,227
Speaker 22: well in the second half of the year. So if

1978
01:40:36,267 --> 01:40:39,027
Speaker 22: your form's improving, that bodes well looking forward, and that

1979
01:40:39,107 --> 01:40:41,107
Speaker 22: might give you a better chance of a team kind

1980
01:40:41,147 --> 01:40:43,507
Speaker 22: of either sticking with you or promoting you. If your

1981
01:40:43,507 --> 01:40:45,907
Speaker 22: form is declining, then you can kind of extrapolate that

1982
01:40:45,947 --> 01:40:49,347
Speaker 22: out and saying maybe the long term because the trend

1983
01:40:49,387 --> 01:40:51,747
Speaker 22: isn't so good both. It's a bit of a tricky

1984
01:40:51,747 --> 01:40:54,507
Speaker 22: one for Red Bull to make, but it's definitely imperative

1985
01:40:54,507 --> 01:40:56,507
Speaker 22: that the drivers that are performing well at this moment,

1986
01:40:56,947 --> 01:40:58,947
Speaker 22: and I'd say the smart money had been on Isaac

1987
01:40:58,987 --> 01:41:01,427
Speaker 22: catcha i've been put to tread ball. I'd say he's

1988
01:41:01,427 --> 01:41:03,147
Speaker 22: still a favorite to get that, but he had a

1989
01:41:03,147 --> 01:41:04,947
Speaker 22: messy weekend last time out in Austin.

1990
01:41:06,347 --> 01:41:08,627
Speaker 3: A few more question marks, what are the scenario is

1991
01:41:08,667 --> 01:41:11,187
Speaker 3: it's effectively? Is it just one seat that's up for grebs.

1992
01:41:11,187 --> 01:41:12,827
Speaker 3: I know they haven't announced the full lineup, but this

1993
01:41:12,907 --> 01:41:16,027
Speaker 3: feels like just a one seat scenario. Preps a shootout

1994
01:41:16,027 --> 01:41:17,547
Speaker 3: with with Lawson and Day in Sonda.

1995
01:41:19,027 --> 01:41:21,507
Speaker 22: Well, now I feel like it's more four drivers into

1996
01:41:21,507 --> 01:41:24,267
Speaker 22: three seats, and it's not maxis Stappin involved in that.

1997
01:41:24,307 --> 01:41:25,387
Speaker 3: Maxis Stappen is locked in.

1998
01:41:25,507 --> 01:41:28,347
Speaker 22: He's definitely staying, But it's who drives alongside Max, and

1999
01:41:28,387 --> 01:41:30,947
Speaker 22: then who is the lineup at racing balls alongside him?

2000
01:41:31,347 --> 01:41:34,667
Speaker 22: And the drivers Sonoda currently in the Red Bull, who

2001
01:41:34,747 --> 01:41:36,987
Speaker 22: I personally think is most at risk of being replaced.

2002
01:41:37,427 --> 01:41:39,507
Speaker 22: Then you've got Isaac and Liam in the Racing Balls,

2003
01:41:39,547 --> 01:41:42,427
Speaker 22: which one of those would replace Uki if Youki's replaced.

2004
01:41:42,587 --> 01:41:44,307
Speaker 22: And as I say, I think that is the way

2005
01:41:44,347 --> 01:41:47,627
Speaker 22: it's headed, and you'd probably start. Isaac was slightly ahead

2006
01:41:47,667 --> 01:41:49,707
Speaker 22: because of the way the Red Bull went with Liam

2007
01:41:49,707 --> 01:41:51,267
Speaker 22: at the started this year and now they're going to

2008
01:41:51,267 --> 01:41:53,227
Speaker 22: see if Isaac can handle it next year as well,

2009
01:41:53,427 --> 01:41:56,747
Speaker 22: but it's not a guarantee. And then alongside whoever stays

2010
01:41:56,747 --> 01:41:58,987
Speaker 22: at Racing Balls, it would be Arvid Lindblad, the young

2011
01:41:59,067 --> 01:41:59,907
Speaker 22: drivers currently.

2012
01:41:59,747 --> 01:42:01,587
Speaker 3: F two stepping up in that seat.

2013
01:42:01,947 --> 01:42:03,627
Speaker 22: He was actually running an FP one here in Mexico

2014
01:42:03,627 --> 01:42:06,067
Speaker 22: earlier today, showing that they're trying to prepare him for

2015
01:42:06,067 --> 01:42:08,907
Speaker 22: a step up to F one. So Red Bull are

2016
01:42:08,907 --> 01:42:10,587
Speaker 22: looking at they want to get lin Blad into a

2017
01:42:10,667 --> 01:42:12,267
Speaker 22: race seat when they can. So that's why I feel

2018
01:42:12,267 --> 01:42:14,987
Speaker 22: like it's four into three around maxist happened and the

2019
01:42:14,987 --> 01:42:16,907
Speaker 22: most at risk feels like a Yuki Sanoda.

2020
01:42:16,987 --> 01:42:19,267
Speaker 3: What's your read on how Lawson's adapted to this year

2021
01:42:19,307 --> 01:42:22,347
Speaker 3: because it started obviously so strong in the Red Bull seat,

2022
01:42:22,347 --> 01:42:24,147
Speaker 3: then he moved to racing balls. Has he taken it

2023
01:42:24,147 --> 01:42:24,907
Speaker 3: in his stride?

2024
01:42:25,427 --> 01:42:27,427
Speaker 22: I'd say he has by the middle of the season,

2025
01:42:27,507 --> 01:42:29,227
Speaker 22: shall I say, For a lot of drivers, it could

2026
01:42:29,227 --> 01:42:30,667
Speaker 22: really have broken them and it could have been a

2027
01:42:30,707 --> 01:42:33,427
Speaker 22: downward spiral having just two races in one seat and

2028
01:42:33,467 --> 01:42:35,947
Speaker 22: then being moved, but Liam kind of took that on

2029
01:42:35,947 --> 01:42:37,467
Speaker 22: the chin, went back to a team that he knows

2030
01:42:37,467 --> 01:42:39,907
Speaker 22: well he likes and a car that he's comfortable in

2031
01:42:40,147 --> 01:42:43,267
Speaker 22: and enjoys driving, and thought, right, I can rebuild from here,

2032
01:42:43,507 --> 01:42:45,347
Speaker 22: and we saw it. It took a little while because Hajjar

2033
01:42:45,507 --> 01:42:47,187
Speaker 22: was performing well at the starts of the year. That

2034
01:42:47,227 --> 01:42:49,267
Speaker 22: puts a bit of pressure on Lawson alongside him because

2035
01:42:49,267 --> 01:42:52,387
Speaker 22: he's slightly more experienced than Hadjar is. But then once

2036
01:42:52,627 --> 01:42:55,107
Speaker 22: Liam really did kind of give his confidence back, essentially

2037
01:42:55,227 --> 01:42:57,387
Speaker 22: by the summer, we saw some really really strong results

2038
01:42:57,427 --> 01:42:59,907
Speaker 22: and I think that's impressed red Ball because it surely

2039
01:42:59,907 --> 01:43:02,667
Speaker 22: has that mental fortitude to kind of fight back from

2040
01:43:02,667 --> 01:43:05,267
Speaker 22: a tough position earlier in the year. The thing they're

2041
01:43:05,267 --> 01:43:07,547
Speaker 22: still always looking for though, it's raw speed and the

2042
01:43:07,827 --> 01:43:10,987
Speaker 22: final end product, and that's something where no driver has

2043
01:43:10,987 --> 01:43:12,627
Speaker 22: actually shown it all the way through the year yet.

2044
01:43:12,667 --> 01:43:13,667
Speaker 22: So that's why I think it's a bit more of

2045
01:43:13,667 --> 01:43:15,667
Speaker 22: a question mark over who might get the NOD to

2046
01:43:15,667 --> 01:43:18,867
Speaker 22: replace Yuki, assuming Uky is replaced, and it just feels

2047
01:43:18,867 --> 01:43:21,507
Speaker 22: like it's an Oda that's trending most likely to lose

2048
01:43:21,547 --> 01:43:23,827
Speaker 22: their seat. But I think Liam has done enough to

2049
01:43:23,907 --> 01:43:26,067
Speaker 22: warrant keeping his current at racing balls at least.

2050
01:43:26,307 --> 01:43:28,827
Speaker 3: When do they need to make this decision by I mean,

2051
01:43:28,987 --> 01:43:30,627
Speaker 3: obviously they've got a bit of time, but it feels

2052
01:43:30,707 --> 01:43:32,627
Speaker 3: like it's imminent. Could they kick it down the road

2053
01:43:32,667 --> 01:43:35,547
Speaker 3: for a few more weeks, Y'd oh, absolutely.

2054
01:43:35,587 --> 01:43:37,307
Speaker 22: I mean, if they really wanted to, they could kick

2055
01:43:37,307 --> 01:43:39,107
Speaker 22: it down the road until the end of January when

2056
01:43:39,147 --> 01:43:41,227
Speaker 22: we go testing to the start of twenty twenty six. Now,

2057
01:43:41,267 --> 01:43:43,107
Speaker 22: I don't think they'll do that because you need to

2058
01:43:43,107 --> 01:43:44,467
Speaker 22: have the seat fits done, you want to have the

2059
01:43:44,547 --> 01:43:46,587
Speaker 22: drivers in the simulator, you want to have them preparing

2060
01:43:46,587 --> 01:43:49,387
Speaker 22: with their engineers before the new season gets underway. And

2061
01:43:49,467 --> 01:43:51,987
Speaker 22: it is earlier next year because of new regulations, so

2062
01:43:52,067 --> 01:43:54,027
Speaker 22: normally testing would be mid to late February that it

2063
01:43:54,067 --> 01:43:57,067
Speaker 22: starts next year, it starts in late January and then

2064
01:43:57,107 --> 01:43:58,827
Speaker 22: has some more going on in February two before we

2065
01:43:58,907 --> 01:44:00,867
Speaker 22: head to Melbourne for the first race. So I think

2066
01:44:00,867 --> 01:44:02,867
Speaker 22: it call will be earlier than it usually would be.

2067
01:44:03,227 --> 01:44:04,907
Speaker 22: As we saw last year, they made a change after

2068
01:44:04,907 --> 01:44:07,467
Speaker 22: the final round in Abidabi when they dropped Surgio Peris

2069
01:44:07,507 --> 01:44:09,427
Speaker 22: and cut Liam into that seat at Red Bulls. So

2070
01:44:10,147 --> 01:44:11,867
Speaker 22: they have these drivers on the contract, it's up to

2071
01:44:11,907 --> 01:44:13,707
Speaker 22: them where they want to place them between the teams.

2072
01:44:14,027 --> 01:44:15,947
Speaker 22: Red Bull could really wait as late as the Abbi

2073
01:44:15,987 --> 01:44:18,507
Speaker 22: Dabi Grand Prix in early December, but I do think

2074
01:44:18,507 --> 01:44:20,907
Speaker 22: they'll probably have made a decision before then, or at

2075
01:44:20,987 --> 01:44:22,907
Speaker 22: least be very clear in their minds what they're planning

2076
01:44:22,947 --> 01:44:24,787
Speaker 22: on doing before then, so they can prepare.

2077
01:44:24,987 --> 01:44:27,107
Speaker 3: Chris Midland with us in the tims are the overall

2078
01:44:27,187 --> 01:44:29,867
Speaker 3: race for the title. How much can the duo of

2079
01:44:29,907 --> 01:44:32,987
Speaker 3: Pistri and Norrisfield mex A step and breathing down the

2080
01:44:33,067 --> 01:44:36,147
Speaker 3: nick after the events of last week. Oh absolutely.

2081
01:44:36,147 --> 01:44:37,467
Speaker 22: I think they've been feeling that for a number of

2082
01:44:37,507 --> 01:44:40,187
Speaker 22: race weekends actually, but certainly Austin is the one that

2083
01:44:40,267 --> 01:44:42,267
Speaker 22: really brought it into sharp focus because it's such a

2084
01:44:42,347 --> 01:44:45,747
Speaker 22: quick swing between Oscar and Max. Twenty three points that

2085
01:44:46,027 --> 01:44:48,547
Speaker 22: Max took out of the championship leave and I say

2086
01:44:48,547 --> 01:44:50,427
Speaker 22: he's only forty points back now, and that's in the

2087
01:44:50,427 --> 01:44:52,627
Speaker 22: context of four races earlier he was one hundred and

2088
01:44:52,627 --> 01:44:53,347
Speaker 22: four points back.

2089
01:44:53,587 --> 01:44:56,187
Speaker 3: But forty points is still more than a race victory.

2090
01:44:56,227 --> 01:44:58,307
Speaker 22: That's winning a race and finishing third in a race

2091
01:44:58,547 --> 01:45:01,787
Speaker 22: with Oscar not scoring at all to raise that gap.

2092
01:45:01,827 --> 01:45:03,787
Speaker 22: And we've only got five rounds left, so Max needs

2093
01:45:03,827 --> 01:45:05,907
Speaker 22: to keep the pressure on. He's going to stay attacking,

2094
01:45:05,907 --> 01:45:08,547
Speaker 22: He's going to st aggressive. That's red bulls approach now

2095
01:45:08,627 --> 01:45:10,667
Speaker 22: and they've got nothing to lose and it is putting

2096
01:45:10,707 --> 01:45:11,667
Speaker 22: pressure on McLaren.

2097
01:45:11,907 --> 01:45:13,227
Speaker 3: The problem McLaren have is.

2098
01:45:13,187 --> 01:45:15,067
Speaker 22: The fact that it's both drivers fighting each other too,

2099
01:45:15,307 --> 01:45:17,027
Speaker 22: and Oscar is in the best place because he has

2100
01:45:17,027 --> 01:45:18,787
Speaker 22: the points on the board, but the GAP's been.

2101
01:45:18,667 --> 01:45:19,787
Speaker 3: Coming down to Lando as well.

2102
01:45:19,827 --> 01:45:22,027
Speaker 22: That's down to fourteen points and they're looking at each

2103
01:45:22,027 --> 01:45:23,587
Speaker 22: other as well as at Max and that adds a

2104
01:45:23,587 --> 01:45:26,307
Speaker 22: strange dynamic to it where they can't really afford to

2105
01:45:26,307 --> 01:45:28,867
Speaker 22: get too caught up in certain scenarios and open the

2106
01:45:28,907 --> 01:45:31,107
Speaker 22: door for a sappen I think this is actually a

2107
01:45:31,107 --> 01:45:34,267
Speaker 22: crucial weekend. We saw something similar last year in Brazil.

2108
01:45:34,347 --> 01:45:36,587
Speaker 22: We arrived there, Land and I have been chipping away

2109
01:45:36,667 --> 01:45:38,347
Speaker 22: quite consistently and we thought we were going to get

2110
01:45:38,347 --> 01:45:39,907
Speaker 22: a type of fight potentially to the end of the

2111
01:45:39,987 --> 01:45:40,627
Speaker 22: year against Max.

2112
01:45:40,667 --> 01:45:41,187
Speaker 7: Hastappened.

2113
01:45:41,427 --> 01:45:43,707
Speaker 22: Went to Brazil and after qualifying on the Sunday morning

2114
01:45:43,707 --> 01:45:46,267
Speaker 22: with dodgy weather, he had Norris on pole for Stappord.

2115
01:45:46,267 --> 01:45:49,187
Speaker 22: Starting way back in the field, everyone's thinking, here we go,

2116
01:45:49,267 --> 01:45:51,027
Speaker 22: this title fight has got to get blown wide open.

2117
01:45:51,267 --> 01:45:53,827
Speaker 22: But the race went totally differently. Max won with a

2118
01:45:53,867 --> 01:45:57,747
Speaker 22: brilliant drive, comfortably outscored Norris and that basically ended it

2119
01:45:57,747 --> 01:45:59,347
Speaker 22: there and then because there were only three races to

2120
01:45:59,347 --> 01:46:01,707
Speaker 22: go after that point and that turnaround, that swinging points

2121
01:46:02,107 --> 01:46:04,507
Speaker 22: was hugely damaging to Norris having any chance of drawing

2122
01:46:04,547 --> 01:46:07,387
Speaker 22: it back again. So McClaren will know one strong weekend

2123
01:46:07,467 --> 01:46:09,787
Speaker 22: is all they really need to really hold that momentum.

2124
01:46:09,867 --> 01:46:12,747
Speaker 22: It could really hurt Max's ability to get back into

2125
01:46:12,787 --> 01:46:14,907
Speaker 22: the title fight. So that's why the Stappen has to

2126
01:46:14,947 --> 01:46:17,187
Speaker 22: say stay perfect, but it must be said over the

2127
01:46:17,267 --> 01:46:18,947
Speaker 22: last four races that's exactly what he's done.

2128
01:46:19,107 --> 01:46:22,707
Speaker 3: Final question, Chris, do McLaren need to put the eggs

2129
01:46:22,707 --> 01:46:24,987
Speaker 3: into one basket for the title race? Is it possible

2130
01:46:25,067 --> 01:46:27,947
Speaker 3: or is that just a not you know, something they

2131
01:46:27,947 --> 01:46:30,427
Speaker 3: can consider with those both those drivers right up there.

2132
01:46:31,587 --> 01:46:33,147
Speaker 22: Yeah, I don't think they can consider it now. It's

2133
01:46:33,147 --> 01:46:35,427
Speaker 22: too tight. There's only fourteen points between them. You're really

2134
01:46:35,547 --> 01:46:37,387
Speaker 22: robbing one of a chance to try and win a

2135
01:46:37,427 --> 01:46:39,747
Speaker 22: title if you do that. But also you've given them

2136
01:46:39,747 --> 01:46:42,627
Speaker 22: equal opportunities all season and they're still pretty closely matched,

2137
01:46:42,827 --> 01:46:44,827
Speaker 22: so you've got to see that through. And I dare

2138
01:46:45,027 --> 01:46:47,347
Speaker 22: say it, I think you slightly devalue a championship if

2139
01:46:47,347 --> 01:46:49,387
Speaker 22: you do that from this position. I get it if

2140
01:46:49,387 --> 01:46:50,827
Speaker 22: that's been your approach all the way through that you've

2141
01:46:50,827 --> 01:46:52,787
Speaker 22: had a clear number one and number two, but you've

2142
01:46:52,867 --> 01:46:54,867
Speaker 22: let these two drivers fight it out amongst each other,

2143
01:46:55,147 --> 01:46:56,987
Speaker 22: and then you've got maxis stappend in the frame two.

2144
01:46:57,387 --> 01:46:58,707
Speaker 22: I think it means a heck of a lot more

2145
01:46:58,747 --> 01:47:01,427
Speaker 22: if you win a driver's title against maxistappen in a

2146
01:47:01,467 --> 01:47:04,067
Speaker 22: straight fight. If, for example, Landon NRIs was asked to

2147
01:47:04,067 --> 01:47:07,587
Speaker 22: support Oscar Piastre, then it feels like, you know, Zappa

2148
01:47:07,587 --> 01:47:08,267
Speaker 22: would have been kind.

2149
01:47:08,147 --> 01:47:08,747
Speaker 7: Of doing on his own.

2150
01:47:08,787 --> 01:47:10,427
Speaker 22: He's not had the second car up there with him

2151
01:47:10,587 --> 01:47:12,867
Speaker 22: throughout most of this season, and I think it's a

2152
01:47:12,867 --> 01:47:14,507
Speaker 22: better way for the clurrent and go about their racing.

2153
01:47:14,787 --> 01:47:17,267
Speaker 22: It's just let them go for themselves, try and keep

2154
01:47:17,267 --> 01:47:19,627
Speaker 22: it clean between the two McLaren drivers, which is the

2155
01:47:19,667 --> 01:47:22,227
Speaker 22: tricky part. But if you can do that, then whoever

2156
01:47:22,267 --> 01:47:24,947
Speaker 22: wins it will be a really, really deserving champion. Certainly

2157
01:47:24,987 --> 01:47:26,907
Speaker 22: in the face of that pressure from this happened. But

2158
01:47:27,147 --> 01:47:28,787
Speaker 22: I think it's just too late now, with five races

2159
01:47:28,827 --> 01:47:31,027
Speaker 22: to go, just fourteen points in it. It would take

2160
01:47:31,067 --> 01:47:33,707
Speaker 22: something dramatic, like one driver failing to finish the next

2161
01:47:33,707 --> 01:47:36,027
Speaker 22: two races that might open the door. If it really

2162
01:47:36,067 --> 01:47:38,307
Speaker 22: looked unrealistic for one of them to win, then they

2163
01:47:38,347 --> 01:47:40,267
Speaker 22: might be asked to support. But as it stands, I

2164
01:47:40,307 --> 01:47:41,387
Speaker 22: think we're going to the end like this.

2165
01:47:41,547 --> 01:47:44,587
Speaker 3: Well, it's an endlessly fast ending weekend coming up. Enjoy it, Chrysler,

2197
01:49:30,587 --> 01:49:34,987
Speaker 3: has come up with. The short option is the Joseph Parker.

2198
01:49:35,067 --> 01:49:37,307
Speaker 3: Surely he'll get a title shot now special. So that's

2199
01:49:37,547 --> 01:49:42,107
Speaker 3: Joseph Parker to win by Ko. TKO orders qualification at

2200
01:49:42,147 --> 01:49:44,067
Speaker 3: two dollars that we'll see you win one hundred and

2201
01:49:44,107 --> 01:49:46,987
Speaker 3: fifty dollars if it comes through. The even option is

2202
01:49:47,507 --> 01:49:51,147
Speaker 3: Auckland f C versus Western Sydney Wanderers over under total

2203
01:49:51,187 --> 01:49:54,307
Speaker 3: goals one point five this afternoon. That's at three seventy

2204
01:49:54,387 --> 01:49:57,667
Speaker 3: so that's four hundred and five dollars. And the long option, Leoni,

2205
01:49:57,867 --> 01:50:01,027
Speaker 3: is the Rand Phillip Shield deja vu special that Andy's

2206

Speaker 3: called it, which is the Canterbury Otigo n PC Final.

2207
01:50:04,427 --> 01:50:08,347
Speaker 3: Canterbury to lead at halftime Otago to win it. That's

2208
01:50:08,387 --> 01:50:11,107
Speaker 3: paying eight point fifty with the potential winnings of one

2209
01:50:11,667 --> 01:50:15,027

2210

2226
01:50:59,187 --> 01:51:01,987
Speaker 3: again here on news Talk ZMBIG at twenty away from three,

2227
01:51:02,067 --> 01:51:05,187
Speaker 3: let's take you to Apollo Projects Stadium and our gold

2228
01:51:05,187 --> 01:51:09,027
Speaker 3: sport commentator this after Neck Bewley. Afternoon, Neck, how are you?

2229
01:51:10,067 --> 01:51:12,987
Speaker 9: I'm very well, thank you, Smithy. Yeah, all in readiness here.

2230
01:51:13,027 --> 01:51:17,227
Speaker 13: In fact, the gates have just flung open, and interestingly,

2231
01:51:17,267 --> 01:51:19,627
Speaker 13: as we kept an eye on during the week, this

2232
01:51:19,707 --> 01:51:23,707
Speaker 13: game sold out and there've been general admission tickets right

2233
01:51:23,747 --> 01:51:25,707
Speaker 13: from the get go, so it's very old school here.

2234
01:51:25,707 --> 01:51:28,627
Speaker 13: It's like a lolly scramble to get your best seats.

2235
01:51:28,667 --> 01:51:32,147
Speaker 13: There's about five hundred allocated seats for members to my

2236
01:51:32,227 --> 01:51:34,787
Speaker 13: left here in the south stand, but otherwise there's about

2237
01:51:34,787 --> 01:51:38,307
Speaker 13: fifteen and a half thousand general admission seats, first in

2238
01:51:38,507 --> 01:51:41,667
Speaker 13: best dressed and here at halfway where we are in

2239
01:51:41,707 --> 01:51:43,587
Speaker 13: the south stand, it's starting to fill up already.

2240
01:51:43,627 --> 01:51:45,067
Speaker 9: Lot of Otago jerseys too.

2241
01:51:45,187 --> 01:51:46,707
Speaker 3: I was going to ask if they made their way

2242
01:51:46,787 --> 01:51:50,427
Speaker 3: up from Dunedin from Otago for this big dance they

2243
01:51:50,507 --> 01:51:50,987
Speaker 3: centainly have.

2244
01:51:51,187 --> 01:51:51,427
Speaker 9: Yeah.

2245
01:51:51,507 --> 01:51:53,547
Speaker 13: I was having a ushat to one of the ladies

2246
01:51:53,587 --> 01:51:55,547
Speaker 13: at Canary Rugby during the week and she mentioned on

2247
01:51:55,627 --> 01:51:58,107
Speaker 13: Wednesday that's when they had about twelve thousand tickets sold

2248
01:51:58,387 --> 01:52:00,187
Speaker 13: in terms of what they could see from ticket tech.

2249
01:52:00,227 --> 01:52:02,467
Speaker 13: In terms of where the po boxes and addresses were,

2250
01:52:02,867 --> 01:52:06,707
Speaker 13: about a third were down south in Otago. They have

2251
01:52:06,867 --> 01:52:09,707
Speaker 13: made their way up over the White Ducky Durga River

2252
01:52:10,067 --> 01:52:13,107
Speaker 13: and come here to Apollo Project Stadium in christ Church

2253
01:52:13,187 --> 01:52:16,187
Speaker 13: and big numbers and rightly so, you know, twenty seven

2254
01:52:16,267 --> 01:52:19,707
Speaker 13: years since their last n PC title. It's been a

2255
01:52:19,707 --> 01:52:22,267
Speaker 13: long time even since they've been in a final. So

2256
01:52:22,907 --> 01:52:26,267
Speaker 13: there's a real romanticism around Otago rugby the way they're

2257
01:52:26,307 --> 01:52:28,907
Speaker 13: playing their rugby and now they're just one went away

2258
01:52:28,987 --> 01:52:31,627
Speaker 13: from what would be a famous season in their history.

2259
01:52:31,667 --> 01:52:34,387
Speaker 13: Already sign up the Ranfilly Shield for the summer. Can

2260
01:52:34,467 --> 01:52:36,987
Speaker 13: they do the double? It's all in readiness Smith, they

2261
01:52:36,987 --> 01:52:37,347
Speaker 13: can't wait.

2262
01:52:37,667 --> 01:52:40,387
Speaker 3: You've been around the Cantory camp this week was the

2263
01:52:40,467 --> 01:52:43,507
Speaker 3: cential getting from them their confidence levels that they can

2264
01:52:43,827 --> 01:52:46,507
Speaker 3: reverse what happened a few weeks ago on that Renfhilly

2265
01:52:46,507 --> 01:52:47,387
Speaker 3: Shield challenge.

2266
01:52:47,667 --> 01:52:49,787
Speaker 9: Yeah, very confident group, very confident group.

2267
01:52:49,827 --> 01:52:52,907
Speaker 13: They've been in finals, they hosted a final in twenty

2268
01:52:52,947 --> 01:52:54,267
Speaker 13: twenty two against Wellington.

2269
01:52:54,267 --> 01:52:55,907
Speaker 9: Didn't get the job done on that occasion.

2270
01:52:55,907 --> 01:52:58,587
Speaker 13: There's a lot of experienced players who have played in

2271
01:52:58,667 --> 01:53:01,547
Speaker 13: big matches, whether they be Super Rugby Finals earlier in

2272
01:53:01,587 --> 01:53:04,587
Speaker 13: the year. Guys like Tom Christi who captains this Canterbury

2273
01:53:04,587 --> 01:53:07,907
Speaker 13: team this afternoon and what's his game before heading away

2274
01:53:07,947 --> 01:53:11,627
Speaker 13: to England. So look, they've acknowledged that five weeks ago

2275
01:53:12,107 --> 01:53:14,467
Speaker 13: they didn't get it right in a twenty minute burst.

2276
01:53:14,507 --> 01:53:17,707
Speaker 13: Effectively it was thirty six twenty one with twenty five

2277
01:53:17,707 --> 01:53:20,227
Speaker 13: minutes to go. An actual fact Otago went down to

2278
01:53:20,267 --> 01:53:23,867
Speaker 13: fourteen men Will Tucky yellow carded in that Ranfy Shield match.

2279
01:53:23,987 --> 01:53:27,307
Speaker 13: Yet they still piled on seventeen unanswered points to get

2280
01:53:27,307 --> 01:53:28,027
Speaker 13: the job done.

2281
01:53:28,067 --> 01:53:30,307
Speaker 9: So they know if they can tighten a few things up.

2282
01:53:30,427 --> 01:53:32,147
Speaker 13: One of the key things Tom Christy spoke to me

2283
01:53:33,067 --> 01:53:38,227
Speaker 13: Elliott about slowing down Otago is creating more pressure around

2284
01:53:38,227 --> 01:53:41,147
Speaker 13: the breakdown, slowing their clean ball. We've seen such crisp

2285
01:53:41,707 --> 01:53:44,867
Speaker 13: distribution from young Dylan Pledger at half back for Otago,

2286
01:53:44,907 --> 01:53:48,667
Speaker 13: allowing Cameron Miller to get Otago up on the front foot.

2287
01:53:48,707 --> 01:53:51,427
Speaker 13: So that was an area of focus for Canterbury. But

2288
01:53:51,747 --> 01:53:53,947
Speaker 13: they very much feel that they've been building for this

2289
01:53:54,027 --> 01:53:56,747
Speaker 13: moment and of course it's the last ever MPC match

2290
01:53:56,747 --> 01:53:59,947
Speaker 13: here at the temporary stadium in Addington and they're determined

2291
01:53:59,987 --> 01:54:01,867
Speaker 13: to end what's been a bit of a drought for

2292
01:54:01,907 --> 01:54:04,027
Speaker 13: them really by their standards Canterbury. As I look over

2293
01:54:04,107 --> 01:54:07,987
Speaker 13: at the Northwest Tower twenty seven team, the last time

2294
01:54:08,507 --> 01:54:11,147
Speaker 13: Canterbury lifted the NPC title trophy.

2295
01:54:10,907 --> 01:54:13,667
Speaker 3: How much is a different How much of a difference

2296
01:54:13,747 --> 01:54:16,067
Speaker 3: is no George Bowell, no Sam Dowry going to make

2297
01:54:16,107 --> 01:54:17,227
Speaker 3: to Canterbury this afternoon.

2298
01:54:17,667 --> 01:54:19,307
Speaker 9: I think it can't be understated Elliott.

2299
01:54:19,547 --> 01:54:22,227
Speaker 13: Those two, given they weren't involved in the All Blacks

2300
01:54:22,307 --> 01:54:25,427
Speaker 13: Rugby Championship campaign other than a couple of training sessions,

2301
01:54:25,627 --> 01:54:28,307
Speaker 13: they have been key contributors to getting Canterbury this far

2302
01:54:28,387 --> 01:54:28,907
Speaker 13: this season.

2303
01:54:29,107 --> 01:54:31,707
Speaker 9: In fact, Sam Dowry, by my understanding, is.

2304
01:54:31,667 --> 01:54:33,827
Speaker 13: Going to win the Dwayne Monthly Medal for the best

2305
01:54:33,827 --> 01:54:36,547
Speaker 13: player in the Buddings NPC this season, such has been

2306
01:54:36,587 --> 01:54:39,747
Speaker 13: his influence. George Bowell ever since he shook off that

2307
01:54:39,827 --> 01:54:42,827
Speaker 13: injury mid season, has been in tremendous form and is

2308
01:54:42,907 --> 01:54:45,467
Speaker 13: utterly deserving of his place on that All Blacks End

2309
01:54:45,507 --> 01:54:49,427
Speaker 13: of Year tour. So I think their loss is significant. However,

2310
01:54:50,027 --> 01:54:53,587
Speaker 13: pretty handy replacements to come in, and Brody McAllister's effectively

2311
01:54:53,747 --> 01:54:56,227
Speaker 13: unseated by George Bowell on that All Blacks End of

2312
01:54:56,267 --> 01:54:56,747
Speaker 13: Year tour.

2313
01:54:56,907 --> 01:54:57,987
Speaker 9: Hasn't played a lot of rugby.

2314
01:54:57,987 --> 01:55:00,667
Speaker 13: Brody McAllister, he'll be determined to show that he should

2315
01:55:00,707 --> 01:55:03,307
Speaker 13: still be in that All Blacks conversation. And young Liam

2316
01:55:03,427 --> 01:55:06,987
Speaker 13: Jack the surname Jack prity synonymous in these parts for rugby,

2317
01:55:06,987 --> 01:55:10,347
Speaker 13: with his father Graham Jack playing for Canterbury uncle Chris

2318
01:55:10,427 --> 01:55:12,987
Speaker 13: Jack playing for the All Blacks. He's really a talent

2319
01:55:13,027 --> 01:55:15,467
Speaker 13: to watch for the future. And he'll start this afternoon

2320
01:55:15,707 --> 01:55:18,027
Speaker 13: at Locke for Canterbury. So I don't think they lose

2321
01:55:18,147 --> 01:55:21,307
Speaker 13: too much. However, such has been the influence of Dowry

2322
01:55:21,347 --> 01:55:23,747
Speaker 13: and Boo has to be set it as a blow.

2323
01:55:23,707 --> 01:55:26,267
Speaker 3: Otago as they come up with plenty of confidence. Obviously

2324
01:55:26,267 --> 01:55:28,387
Speaker 3: they've already done it once this season. What have you

2325
01:55:28,827 --> 01:55:31,467
Speaker 3: been impressed by in their campaign? A lot of headlines

2326
01:55:31,667 --> 01:55:33,787
Speaker 3: for Dylan pled during the way that he's played and

2327
01:55:33,787 --> 01:55:35,547
Speaker 3: in some of the other members of that side. But

2328
01:55:35,787 --> 01:55:37,907
Speaker 3: what's impressed to you about so the way Otago have

2329
01:55:37,947 --> 01:55:39,867
Speaker 3: gone about their business this NPC season.

2330
01:55:40,107 --> 01:55:41,427
Speaker 13: Yeah, a lot a lot of head lines for Dylan

2331
01:55:41,427 --> 01:55:44,187
Speaker 13: Pledger are understandably so so to Lucas Casey. The pair

2332
01:55:44,227 --> 01:55:46,147
Speaker 13: of them the open side flanker in the halfback. Would

2333
01:55:46,187 --> 01:55:49,627
Speaker 13: you believe it's scoring eight tries each in an NPC season.

2334
01:55:49,667 --> 01:55:52,667
Speaker 13: But I've really been impressed by the summer their parts.

2335
01:55:52,707 --> 01:55:56,107
Speaker 13: Guys like Will Stoddard at blindside flanker, who actually just

2336
01:55:56,147 --> 01:55:58,747
Speaker 13: took out Otago's four to the year at this Season

2337
01:55:59,107 --> 01:56:01,867
Speaker 13: Awards earlier in the week. Cameron Miller has come a

2338
01:56:01,907 --> 01:56:04,987
Speaker 13: long way in the first five eighth position and is

2339
01:56:05,107 --> 01:56:08,067
Speaker 13: just very a goalkicker as well, which is handy in

2340
01:56:08,107 --> 01:56:10,467
Speaker 13: these big games. And gods like Sam Gilbert as well

2341
01:56:10,467 --> 01:56:13,387
Speaker 13: at fullback, who plays his last game for Otago this

2342
01:56:13,467 --> 01:56:17,427
Speaker 13: afternoon before heading away to Conducht in Ireland. So they've

2343
01:56:17,467 --> 01:56:21,187
Speaker 13: had key contributions from a lot of experienced players and

2344
01:56:21,227 --> 01:56:25,747
Speaker 13: that has allowed them to play this free flowing, unshackled

2345
01:56:25,787 --> 01:56:29,067
Speaker 13: style of rugby. They've scored forty points. Can you believe

2346
01:56:29,067 --> 01:56:32,307
Speaker 13: in their last four games. So first year head coach

2347
01:56:32,347 --> 01:56:34,947
Speaker 13: Mark Brown has influence too. He's got this team humming,

2348
01:56:34,987 --> 01:56:37,747
Speaker 13: he's got them confident. I don't think they have any fear.

2349
01:56:38,187 --> 01:56:40,427
Speaker 13: And with that and with conditions, it's a bit of

2350
01:56:40,427 --> 01:56:42,987
Speaker 13: a Northwest breeze, but it is a blue bird day

2351
01:56:43,307 --> 01:56:45,027
Speaker 13: here in christ there's not a cloud in the sky.

2352
01:56:45,427 --> 01:56:47,867
Speaker 13: It has all set up for Otago to play to

2353
01:56:47,987 --> 01:56:50,787
Speaker 13: their strengths, to shift the ball wide and give this

2354
01:56:50,867 --> 01:56:51,667
Speaker 13: a red hot crack.

2355
01:56:51,827 --> 01:56:53,707
Speaker 3: What's your sense about what this game is going to

2356
01:56:53,747 --> 01:56:55,947
Speaker 3: come down to this afternoon from four.

2357
01:56:56,987 --> 01:57:00,267
Speaker 13: Just moments, big moments late in this game. I think

2358
01:57:00,307 --> 01:57:02,107
Speaker 13: we're going to get a grand stand finish. It's the

2359
01:57:02,107 --> 01:57:04,907
Speaker 13: two best teams all season long. We saw in that

2360
01:57:05,027 --> 01:57:08,747
Speaker 13: Ran Frilly Shield game five weeks ago thirty eight thirty six,

2361
01:57:08,787 --> 01:57:11,267
Speaker 13: it was an absolute nail bier, and I just think

2362
01:57:11,307 --> 01:57:14,267
Speaker 13: it's going to be who can be composed, who can

2363
01:57:14,347 --> 01:57:18,067
Speaker 13: keep a blue head and those key, critical, high pressurized moments,

2364
01:57:18,427 --> 01:57:21,907
Speaker 13: whether it's a breakdown, turnover or a line break. It's

2365
01:57:21,947 --> 01:57:24,387
Speaker 13: just it feels like to me that it's going to

2366
01:57:24,387 --> 01:57:28,027
Speaker 13: be whoever can capitalize and keep their cool in the

2367
01:57:28,027 --> 01:57:31,027
Speaker 13: furnace of a Bunning's MPC Finals. Such, there's so few

2368
01:57:31,107 --> 01:57:34,827
Speaker 13: margins when you look at all the key statistical areas here.

2369
01:57:34,827 --> 01:57:37,107
Speaker 13: We've got the top two teams in terms of points

2370
01:57:37,107 --> 01:57:38,187
Speaker 13: scored in the competition.

2371
01:57:38,707 --> 01:57:39,147
Speaker 9: Canterbury.

2372
01:57:39,187 --> 01:57:41,147
Speaker 13: Yes, they go about in a slightly different way where

2373
01:57:41,187 --> 01:57:46,147
Speaker 13: they suffocate and scramble defensively and make the opposition wilts

2374
01:57:46,227 --> 01:57:49,107
Speaker 13: under pressure. Then you've got to target a bit more enterprising.

2375
01:57:49,187 --> 01:57:51,947
Speaker 13: But it's just the finest of margins. I feel like

2376
01:57:51,947 --> 01:57:54,387
Speaker 13: are going to decide the game today, Elliott, as is

2377
01:57:54,387 --> 01:57:57,667
Speaker 13: always the case in a big final. And yeah, look,

2378
01:57:57,827 --> 01:57:59,427
Speaker 13: as you can probably tell by the excitement of my

2379
01:57:59,547 --> 01:58:01,867
Speaker 13: voice with still an hour twenty up from kickoff, but

2380
01:58:01,947 --> 01:58:03,067
Speaker 13: I am absolutely buzzing.

2381
01:58:03,067 --> 01:58:04,187
Speaker 9: I need to keep it lit on things.

2382
01:58:04,307 --> 01:58:06,667
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Look, I'm sure we'll have some company in the

2383
01:58:06,707 --> 01:58:08,667
Speaker 3: other south stand for once as well, which will be

2384
01:58:08,667 --> 01:58:10,187
Speaker 3: be nice to you because I know you've has been

2385
01:58:10,227 --> 01:58:11,187
Speaker 3: lonely there this season.

2386
01:58:12,107 --> 01:58:14,747
Speaker 13: It is a very unique experience commentating in an empty

2387
01:58:14,787 --> 01:58:15,627
Speaker 13: south stand, Elliott.

2388
01:58:15,707 --> 01:58:17,627
Speaker 9: So already I think I've got about.

2389
01:58:17,587 --> 01:58:21,107
Speaker 13: Five hundred plus people around me here in between aisles

2390
01:58:21,147 --> 01:58:22,947
Speaker 13: twenty three to twenty four on the south stand.

2391
01:58:23,107 --> 01:58:24,027
Speaker 9: It is fantastic.

2392
01:58:24,067 --> 01:58:26,267
Speaker 13: It is befitting of the occasion the last year a

2393
01:58:26,267 --> 01:58:28,547
Speaker 13: provincial match here at a Polo Project Stadium in christ

2394
01:58:28,627 --> 01:58:30,787
Speaker 13: Church and it is going to be full to the brim.

2395
01:58:30,827 --> 01:58:33,107
Speaker 13: It has already full in and around where I am

2396
01:58:33,147 --> 01:58:35,147
Speaker 13: here in the south stand, so we're in for a treat.

2397
01:58:35,267 --> 01:58:36,587
Speaker 3: What time do you kick off? And who's in your

2398
01:58:36,627 --> 01:58:37,707
Speaker 3: commentary team this afternoon?

2399
01:58:37,747 --> 01:58:37,907
Speaker 7: Nick?

2400
01:58:38,187 --> 01:58:41,587
Speaker 13: Coverage begins at ten two four three point fifty. I'm

2401
01:58:41,667 --> 01:58:45,587
Speaker 13: joined by former All Black and multiple NPC title winning

2402
01:58:45,667 --> 01:58:49,307
Speaker 13: player Matt Todd and Craig Kerr will be stalking the

2403
01:58:49,347 --> 01:58:53,627
Speaker 13: sidelines providing analysis and coverage at halftime in postmatch from

2404
01:58:53,627 --> 01:58:55,947
Speaker 13: both camps as well. So an all star cast to

2405
01:58:56,307 --> 01:58:57,667
Speaker 13: bring you this one this afternoon.

2406
01:58:57,667 --> 01:58:59,467
Speaker 3: I certainly does have a great call this afternoon. I

2407
01:58:59,507 --> 01:59:00,427
Speaker 3: I appreciate your time.

2408
01:59:00,787 --> 01:59:01,547
Speaker 9: Thank you, Elliott.

2409
01:59:01,667 --> 01:59:04,867
Speaker 3: That is Nick Buley, our Gold Sports lead commentator for

2410
01:59:04,987 --> 01:59:09,067
Speaker 3: this afternoon's in PC final Canterbury and Otargan is Nick

2411
01:59:09,147 --> 01:59:11,627
Speaker 3: mentioned there? You can catch the full final on Gold

2412
01:59:11,667 --> 01:59:15,627
Speaker 3: Sport and through your iHeartRadio at this afternoon. I'm with Nick.

2413
01:59:15,707 --> 01:59:17,187
Speaker 3: I don't think there's going to be too much in

2414
01:59:17,227 --> 01:59:19,547
Speaker 3: it this afternoon. I think it's going to come down

2415
01:59:19,667 --> 01:59:23,147
Speaker 3: to some key moments late in the game and who

2416
01:59:23,147 --> 01:59:27,027
Speaker 3: can hold their head the most, and hopefully it's not

2417
01:59:27,107 --> 01:59:29,907
Speaker 3: down to a referees decision, it's down to the players

2418
01:59:29,907 --> 01:59:33,627
Speaker 3: on the park and showing their wars the most. Very

2419
01:59:33,707 --> 01:59:37,067
Speaker 3: much looking forward to that game this afternoon. As I said,

2420
01:59:37,107 --> 01:59:40,547
Speaker 3: kickoff at four to five, and we'll keep you, of

2421
01:59:40,547 --> 01:59:42,827
Speaker 3: course updated as well here on News Talk ZB if

2422
01:59:42,827 --> 01:59:46,827
Speaker 3: you're sticking with us, it's coming up ten away from three.

2423
01:59:46,827 --> 01:59:48,587
Speaker 3: I did want to mention as well, I had this

2424
01:59:48,667 --> 01:59:51,947
Speaker 3: in my notes that interestingly, if you're in keen on

2425
01:59:51,987 --> 01:59:55,787
Speaker 3: the ashes, the cricket so the rugby league ashes overnight,

2426
01:59:55,867 --> 01:59:58,787
Speaker 3: it's not on Sky. Just thought i'd mentioned that two

2427
01:59:58,947 --> 02:00:02,347
Speaker 3: fifteen am or two thirty am kickoff, it's three. You

2428
02:00:02,387 --> 02:00:07,667
Speaker 3: can watch it on NRL dot com overnight. NRL dot

2429
02:00:07,707 --> 02:00:10,107
Speaker 3: com is how you watch that. They've got the live

2430
02:00:10,147 --> 02:00:12,027
Speaker 3: stream of that game from two point fifteen if you

2431
02:00:12,067 --> 02:00:14,547
Speaker 3: are looking forward to that. It's not on Sky's sport

2432
02:00:14,907 --> 02:00:18,907
Speaker 3: but from my understanding, it's a free live stream on

2433
02:00:19,067 --> 02:00:22,867
Speaker 3: NRL dot com and the game kicking off at two

2434
02:00:22,907 --> 02:00:25,667
Speaker 3: thirty that opening game, which will be fascinating to see

2435
02:00:26,027 --> 02:00:28,427
Speaker 3: how the kangaroos are maild together under their new coach

2436
02:00:28,547 --> 02:00:31,787
Speaker 3: Kevin Walters. As soon, there'll be some highlights on NRO

2437
02:00:31,907 --> 02:00:33,547
Speaker 3: dot com. If you are not planning to be up

2438
02:00:33,587 --> 02:00:35,547
Speaker 3: at that time of the morning, which I'm not sure

2439
02:00:36,067 --> 02:00:39,467
Speaker 3: many will be around the country. Gent away from two

2440
02:00:39,627 --> 02:00:41,707
Speaker 3: three brother on News Talk z. But we'll come back

2441
02:00:41,707 --> 02:00:42,827
Speaker 3: wrap up the show after.
