We can't do what we've 114 00:06:41,547 --> 00:06:45,627 Speaker 4: done historically and moving forward, we must continue to grow 115 00:06:45,827 --> 00:06:48,987 Speaker 4: and adapt and be different so that these civil fans 116 00:06:49,027 --> 00:06:51,467 Speaker 4: can be on the you know, on the world stage 117 00:06:51,507 --> 00:06:52,027 Speaker 4: and perform. 118 00:06:52,107 --> 00:06:52,347 Speaker 1: Well. 119 00:06:52,707 --> 00:06:55,187 Speaker 3: Are you happy with the resolution that's been reached? 120 00:06:56,467 --> 00:06:57,067 Speaker 6: Well, I think we. 121 00:06:57,067 --> 00:07:01,867 Speaker 4: Have every confidence that we now have agreement collectively on 122 00:07:01,947 --> 00:07:04,227 Speaker 4: the changes that are required for us to move forward, 123 00:07:05,707 --> 00:07:08,107 Speaker 4: and you know that we have a pathway to reach that. 124 00:07:08,827 --> 00:07:11,547 Speaker 3: Why is she only taking over again once the Northern 125 00:07:11,547 --> 00:07:12,427 Speaker 3: tour is completed. 126 00:07:14,147 --> 00:07:16,907 Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, it has been a really difficult time for everyone, 127 00:07:17,307 --> 00:07:21,227 Speaker 4: and we all agreed collectively to minimize. 128 00:07:20,747 --> 00:07:22,827 Speaker 5: Disruption for the Silver Ferns. 129 00:07:23,707 --> 00:07:26,187 Speaker 4: They have a really tight turnaround off the end of 130 00:07:26,307 --> 00:07:29,547 Speaker 4: Constellation Cup, three days I think before they head up 131 00:07:29,587 --> 00:07:33,147 Speaker 4: to the Northern Tour, so we all agreed that that 132 00:07:33,307 --> 00:07:35,867 Speaker 4: was best to be able to keep the interim coaching 133 00:07:36,027 --> 00:07:38,947 Speaker 4: structure in place to minimize any further. 134 00:07:38,867 --> 00:07:41,147 Speaker 2: Disruption for them an event. 135 00:07:41,507 --> 00:07:45,387 Speaker 3: Mccaus and jury and that her assistant Leana are happy 136 00:07:45,427 --> 00:07:46,147 Speaker 3: with that as well. 137 00:07:47,627 --> 00:07:51,467 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've we've always been in contact with our coaches 138 00:07:52,227 --> 00:07:55,707 Speaker 4: to make sure that they're in a really challenging environment 139 00:07:56,147 --> 00:07:59,347 Speaker 4: with a lot of uncertainty, So it's been important to 140 00:07:59,347 --> 00:08:03,467 Speaker 4: be able to keep those lines of communications open and 141 00:08:04,107 --> 00:08:06,867 Speaker 4: they're really confident that they've got clarity of what they're 142 00:08:06,947 --> 00:08:08,987 Speaker 4: able to do in the direction of travel for that 143 00:08:09,147 --> 00:08:09,747 Speaker 4: Northern tour. 144 00:08:10,067 --> 00:08:12,907 Speaker 3: So Damielan's back in the job effective immediately, but not 145 00:08:12,987 --> 00:08:14,947 Speaker 3: coaching again for a few months. So what does she 146 00:08:15,027 --> 00:08:17,027 Speaker 3: do for the next few months? Is this shed plan 147 00:08:17,147 --> 00:08:19,427 Speaker 3: for the Commonwealth Games next year? What will what will 148 00:08:19,467 --> 00:08:20,587 Speaker 3: your expectations be? 149 00:08:22,267 --> 00:08:24,987 Speaker 4: Oh, in the intervening period, we will be working really 150 00:08:25,027 --> 00:08:28,907 Speaker 4: closely on the enhancements and changes in that environment. We'll 151 00:08:28,947 --> 00:08:29,827 Speaker 4: be doing that together. 152 00:08:30,507 --> 00:08:32,547 Speaker 3: Do you stand by the decision to stand her down 153 00:08:32,547 --> 00:08:32,947 Speaker 3: from the job? 154 00:08:33,027 --> 00:08:37,747 Speaker 4: Jenny, Look, we you know, I think I think we're 155 00:08:37,787 --> 00:08:43,067 Speaker 4: really clear that we could. We had concerns raised that 156 00:08:43,307 --> 00:08:48,547 Speaker 4: warranted us taking them seriously. Neple New Zealand has a 157 00:08:48,627 --> 00:08:52,667 Speaker 4: duty of care and as difficult as this has been 158 00:08:53,187 --> 00:08:56,747 Speaker 4: and the timing, we think NEPLE will be better for 159 00:08:56,787 --> 00:08:57,667 Speaker 4: this ultimately. 160 00:08:58,307 --> 00:09:00,587 Speaker 3: In the media releases, says nothing was found during the 161 00:09:00,627 --> 00:09:04,707 Speaker 3: process that called her integrity into into questions. So what 162 00:09:04,787 --> 00:09:06,307 Speaker 3: did you find during that process? 163 00:09:08,147 --> 00:09:11,547 Speaker 4: Look, I think, as you will appreciate throughout, we are 164 00:09:11,587 --> 00:09:14,227 Speaker 4: not going to talk about the specifics of what those 165 00:09:14,267 --> 00:09:18,987 Speaker 4: concerns were. But what we are really confident is that 166 00:09:19,027 --> 00:09:23,347 Speaker 4: we have plans in place and we are able to 167 00:09:23,387 --> 00:09:26,747 Speaker 4: address them. And that has always been the most important 168 00:09:26,747 --> 00:09:31,107 Speaker 4: thing for us. This was always about how do we listen, 169 00:09:31,627 --> 00:09:32,667 Speaker 4: learn and grow. 170 00:09:33,507 --> 00:09:36,307 Speaker 3: Has trust been broken? Do you think on either side 171 00:09:36,707 --> 00:09:38,387 Speaker 3: as a result of this process? 172 00:09:40,587 --> 00:09:45,427 Speaker 4: Well, I think it's been challenging to everyone, hasn't it. Sure, 173 00:09:45,467 --> 00:09:48,747 Speaker 4: and none of us wanted to be doing this out 174 00:09:48,827 --> 00:09:53,787 Speaker 4: in the out, in the public eye, but we were 175 00:09:53,827 --> 00:09:57,227 Speaker 4: always maintained that this was always about bringing Nolline back 176 00:09:57,267 --> 00:10:01,147 Speaker 4: into the environment and in order to do that where 177 00:10:01,387 --> 00:10:04,267 Speaker 4: we need to be able to rebuild and move forward. 178 00:10:04,587 --> 00:10:06,707 Speaker 4: But I think what we do know is as we 179 00:10:06,827 --> 00:10:09,427 Speaker 4: have made decisions that will be important to guide the 180 00:10:09,467 --> 00:10:12,187 Speaker 4: future of this game and that in the long run 181 00:10:12,227 --> 00:10:13,147 Speaker 4: we can do that together. 182 00:10:13,707 --> 00:10:16,227 Speaker 3: Did the comments from Mark Mitchell the Sports Minister this 183 00:10:16,267 --> 00:10:19,667 Speaker 3: week and talking about Sport New Zealand coming along and 184 00:10:19,947 --> 00:10:23,947 Speaker 3: perhaps intervening or trying to get this process to a resolution, 185 00:10:24,267 --> 00:10:27,067 Speaker 3: did that expedite things over the last few days. 186 00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:28,307 Speaker 7: Oh? 187 00:10:28,347 --> 00:10:32,027 Speaker 4: Look, it has been amazing to have the support of 188 00:10:32,107 --> 00:10:36,787 Speaker 4: Mark and Mark Mitchell and Sport New Zealands. But we 189 00:10:36,787 --> 00:10:39,907 Speaker 4: were really close to a resolution anyway before those comments 190 00:10:39,947 --> 00:10:42,947 Speaker 4: came out, So yeah, great to have their support along 191 00:10:42,947 --> 00:10:43,187 Speaker 4: the way. 192 00:10:43,627 --> 00:10:46,467 Speaker 3: Jenny Wiley with us. Jenny, how will you reintroduce Dame 193 00:10:46,547 --> 00:10:49,507 Speaker 3: Nolean Todo into the environment? Do you have to Well, 194 00:10:49,547 --> 00:10:51,667 Speaker 3: you know, I guess it's not until the players return 195 00:10:51,707 --> 00:10:54,707 Speaker 3: from the Northern Tour. But have you thought about that 196 00:10:54,827 --> 00:10:56,947 Speaker 3: and how you get them? Do you need to get 197 00:10:56,987 --> 00:10:59,107 Speaker 3: them around a table or into a camp or something 198 00:10:59,147 --> 00:11:02,347 Speaker 3: like that, So to reintroduce Dame Nolean into the environment. 199 00:11:03,827 --> 00:11:07,587 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think what we have got is time while 200 00:11:07,907 --> 00:11:10,187 Speaker 4: the ferns are away on the northern camp, We've got 201 00:11:10,187 --> 00:11:12,187 Speaker 4: time to sit down and really think about what that 202 00:11:12,267 --> 00:11:15,467 Speaker 4: looks like. And we'll be using that time wisely to 203 00:11:15,627 --> 00:11:20,267 Speaker 4: ensure that we give this you know, heir to these 204 00:11:20,867 --> 00:11:23,827 Speaker 4: areas of change and make sure that we put them 205 00:11:23,827 --> 00:11:27,627 Speaker 4: in place really in ansound and considered way. 206 00:11:28,307 --> 00:11:31,227 Speaker 3: As have you spoken to any players as a result 207 00:11:31,267 --> 00:11:33,867 Speaker 3: of this and what was their reaction to this news? 208 00:11:35,107 --> 00:11:37,827 Speaker 4: Well, I think it was really important as key stakeholders 209 00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:42,867 Speaker 4: that players were aware they weren't surprised by any any position. 210 00:11:43,907 --> 00:11:46,747 Speaker 4: But as you will also acknowledge, they're in camp for 211 00:11:46,787 --> 00:11:51,027 Speaker 4: the Soul Ferns and they have Australia tomorrow, so they 212 00:11:51,147 --> 00:11:54,987 Speaker 4: now feel equipped to be able to address this and 213 00:11:55,067 --> 00:11:59,147 Speaker 4: then probably most of them are stoked that there's a resolution. 214 00:11:59,707 --> 00:12:02,467 Speaker 4: So I think that's the focus now of getting out 215 00:12:02,467 --> 00:12:04,507 Speaker 4: there and performing well against Australia. 216 00:12:04,627 --> 00:12:07,587 Speaker 3: Jenny, do you think Netborn New Zealand's reputation has taken 217 00:12:07,587 --> 00:12:09,707 Speaker 3: a hit from this whole saga and how hard has 218 00:12:09,747 --> 00:12:12,627 Speaker 3: it been because I know you as an organization have 219 00:12:12,707 --> 00:12:14,307 Speaker 3: not said a lot and you've had to watch the 220 00:12:14,347 --> 00:12:18,067 Speaker 3: public feeling around this dissipate through talk back through social 221 00:12:18,107 --> 00:12:20,387 Speaker 3: media over the last couple of months. But do you 222 00:12:20,467 --> 00:12:23,747 Speaker 3: think your organization's reputation has taken a hit. 223 00:12:25,747 --> 00:12:26,907 Speaker 8: Well, I think, as you. 224 00:12:26,867 --> 00:12:29,667 Speaker 4: Say, we're playing this out in the public eye and 225 00:12:29,947 --> 00:12:34,027 Speaker 4: generally not too many organizations need to do that. I 226 00:12:34,067 --> 00:12:37,387 Speaker 4: think what we have done is that there is a 227 00:12:37,467 --> 00:12:43,027 Speaker 4: heightened awareness of the challenges in sport now. But ultimately, 228 00:12:43,427 --> 00:12:46,187 Speaker 4: this is a game that is one hundred years old. 229 00:12:46,427 --> 00:12:49,507 Speaker 4: We're in good health, our playing numbers of women and 230 00:12:49,547 --> 00:12:53,747 Speaker 4: girls in this country are growing, and those young people 231 00:12:53,987 --> 00:12:56,707 Speaker 4: aspire to be silver Ferns. And if we've got a 232 00:12:56,747 --> 00:13:00,867 Speaker 4: silver ferns environment that is better for this process, then 233 00:13:00,907 --> 00:13:04,307 Speaker 4: in the long run, netball will be better for this process. 234 00:13:04,667 --> 00:13:07,347 Speaker 3: And now you can focus on the tea this afternoon 235 00:13:07,427 --> 00:13:10,107 Speaker 3: in Hamilton and hope that the still fans get back 236 00:13:10,107 --> 00:13:12,547 Speaker 3: into the series with a victory in front of their 237 00:13:12,547 --> 00:13:13,987 Speaker 3: home fans. 238 00:13:14,507 --> 00:13:18,667 Speaker 4: Oh, there's nothing better than a home crowd to support 239 00:13:18,667 --> 00:13:22,107 Speaker 4: our silver Ferns. They always rise to the occasion. So 240 00:13:22,107 --> 00:13:25,747 Speaker 4: we're looking forward to both Hamilton today and christ Church 241 00:13:25,787 --> 00:13:28,667 Speaker 4: on Wednesday to be able to put some good netball 242 00:13:28,707 --> 00:13:29,267 Speaker 4: out on court. 243 00:13:29,467 --> 00:13:31,547 Speaker 3: Ginny, appreciate your time with us on news Talk ZEBB 244 00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:32,347 Speaker 3: this afternoon. 245 00:13:32,547 --> 00:13:34,827 Speaker 2: Go well, thank you. 246 00:13:35,947 --> 00:13:39,827 Speaker 3: That was Genny Wiley, the chief executive of Netborne, New Zealand, 247 00:13:39,867 --> 00:13:44,707 Speaker 3: joining us on news Talk ZEBB.

It looks like we're certainly 343 00:18:27,467 --> 00:18:31,587 Speaker 15: going to lose the Constellation Cup this year, possibly for Nol. 344 00:18:32,667 --> 00:18:36,307 Speaker 15: And you know, you've got to wonder, do you think 345 00:18:36,387 --> 00:18:40,107 Speaker 15: maybe old school coaching might be better? 346 00:18:41,627 --> 00:18:44,667 Speaker 3: Well, Danmelene Danelen's record speaks for itself. It's not a 347 00:18:44,667 --> 00:18:46,707 Speaker 3: perfect record, but she's won a World Cup with her 348 00:18:46,747 --> 00:18:47,467 Speaker 3: coaching methods. 349 00:18:49,027 --> 00:18:49,427 Speaker 13: Yeah. 350 00:18:49,507 --> 00:18:52,907 Speaker 15: Yeah, And you know, I agree with what Texas and 351 00:18:53,387 --> 00:18:57,627 Speaker 15: previous callers have said about about Jenny Wiley. I mean, 352 00:18:57,667 --> 00:19:00,347 Speaker 15: it's a waste of time coming on and talking a 353 00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:03,667 Speaker 15: lot but saying nothing. I mean that they haven't even 354 00:19:03,787 --> 00:19:07,627 Speaker 15: sorted out. It looks like the beginnings of how the 355 00:19:07,707 --> 00:19:10,347 Speaker 15: new system is going to work. They're going to form 356 00:19:10,427 --> 00:19:13,387 Speaker 15: a working group and what interesting turn that is a 357 00:19:13,467 --> 00:19:17,107 Speaker 15: working group to decide what they're going to do over 358 00:19:17,147 --> 00:19:19,067 Speaker 15: the next few months and how they're going to get 359 00:19:19,707 --> 00:19:24,627 Speaker 15: get players involved. And I have to think that the 360 00:19:24,627 --> 00:19:28,707 Speaker 15: best thing to get netball on the road again would 361 00:19:28,747 --> 00:19:30,427 Speaker 15: be to have Jenny Wider assigned. 362 00:19:30,867 --> 00:19:32,587 Speaker 3: Thank you, Grant. So are you happy though that Dame 363 00:19:32,627 --> 00:19:34,907 Speaker 3: Nolean's back at the Helm. I mean it feels like 364 00:19:34,947 --> 00:19:37,507 Speaker 3: a halfway house of a resolution, given that she's not 365 00:19:37,547 --> 00:19:40,867 Speaker 3: going to be coaching a netball game again until who knows, 366 00:19:41,307 --> 00:19:42,507 Speaker 3: at some point next year. 367 00:19:43,787 --> 00:19:47,467 Speaker 15: Yeah. Well, the fact that I mean about the one 368 00:19:47,507 --> 00:19:50,627 Speaker 15: thing that she said which I agree with with Genny Wiley, 369 00:19:51,027 --> 00:19:53,707 Speaker 15: was that with only a three day turnaround, and it's 370 00:19:53,747 --> 00:19:56,107 Speaker 15: because they could have had a sort of this out, 371 00:19:56,267 --> 00:19:59,387 Speaker 15: you know, weeks ago, then there wouldn't have been a 372 00:19:59,427 --> 00:20:02,587 Speaker 15: problem with only having a three day turnaround, but having 373 00:20:02,747 --> 00:20:05,987 Speaker 15: a three day turnaround to get Nolling back for the 374 00:20:06,027 --> 00:20:09,947 Speaker 15: norm tour, and you know, I mean even even sort 375 00:20:09,947 --> 00:20:13,427 Speaker 15: of you know, it'll be a disaster sort of trying 376 00:20:13,507 --> 00:20:18,067 Speaker 15: to say, well, Noline come in today and coach the 377 00:20:18,067 --> 00:20:23,067 Speaker 15: team for the third Test. So but the reason of 378 00:20:23,187 --> 00:20:25,947 Speaker 15: that there is a problem with a three day turnaround 379 00:20:25,987 --> 00:20:29,867 Speaker 15: of that is because they dispersonally appeared to do nothing 380 00:20:29,907 --> 00:20:32,747 Speaker 15: and certainly told us nothing for the last few weeks. 381 00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:34,747 Speaker 3: That's right, Grant, nice to hear from you this afternoon. 382 00:20:34,787 --> 00:20:37,627 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty nine ninety two for a text message. 383 00:20:37,627 --> 00:20:41,147 Speaker 3: We've got one line free with Grant dropping off.

Shari Hi, I. 385 00:20:44,707 --> 00:20:48,107 Speaker 8: Heard nothing from that, absolutely, And can I just say 386 00:20:48,147 --> 00:20:50,267 Speaker 8: this that if it had not been for the Nettle 387 00:20:50,347 --> 00:20:53,507 Speaker 8: community and the fans out there, she wouldn't have been 388 00:20:54,227 --> 00:20:56,667 Speaker 8: It was our step we were pushing for her and 389 00:20:56,787 --> 00:21:00,187 Speaker 8: probably the minister. And that's the honesty behind us that 390 00:21:00,747 --> 00:21:04,307 Speaker 8: here and the chair and the whole board need to 391 00:21:04,347 --> 00:21:07,467 Speaker 8: take a long look in the mirror and say to themselves, 392 00:21:07,707 --> 00:21:09,827 Speaker 8: are we here for the sport? Are we here for 393 00:21:09,867 --> 00:21:12,987 Speaker 8: the good of this sport? Because nothing good came out 394 00:21:12,987 --> 00:21:16,907 Speaker 8: of this with them. It's been secrecy. She came on, 395 00:21:17,187 --> 00:21:20,227 Speaker 8: someone's written something for her to say today and I 396 00:21:20,387 --> 00:21:22,547 Speaker 8: just can't believe that she's not even on that end 397 00:21:22,547 --> 00:21:23,227 Speaker 8: of view tour? 398 00:21:24,027 --> 00:21:25,067 Speaker 16: Is that not what the. 399 00:21:25,067 --> 00:21:25,747 Speaker 3: Whole thing is? 400 00:21:25,907 --> 00:21:28,627 Speaker 8: The process for next year with the Commonwealth Games, with 401 00:21:28,707 --> 00:21:32,427 Speaker 8: her going there, if she's reinstated, she's reinstated as of 402 00:21:33,467 --> 00:21:34,507 Speaker 8: as of the tour. 403 00:21:34,387 --> 00:21:37,507 Speaker 3: Say the tour, well, that's right, they've got five tests 404 00:21:37,547 --> 00:21:39,907 Speaker 3: in yeah, Shari, they've got five tests in the lead 405 00:21:39,947 --> 00:21:41,867 Speaker 3: up to the Commonwealth Games next year that she won't 406 00:21:41,907 --> 00:21:46,547 Speaker 3: be there for you know, against ye in Glasgow and 407 00:21:46,867 --> 00:21:48,867 Speaker 3: these in the venues where the Commonwealth Games is going 408 00:21:48,907 --> 00:21:49,747 Speaker 3: to be held next year. 409 00:21:50,667 --> 00:21:53,627 Speaker 8: Yeah, and didn't Gail prior to say that this whole 410 00:21:53,707 --> 00:21:56,707 Speaker 8: end of view tour was because of them preparing for 411 00:21:56,747 --> 00:21:59,307 Speaker 8: that as well. They wanted to be there to see 412 00:21:59,547 --> 00:22:02,467 Speaker 8: where they're going to be. Everything was in preparation for this. 413 00:22:02,587 --> 00:22:05,227 Speaker 8: So why is she not on that end of view tour? 414 00:22:05,547 --> 00:22:07,867 Speaker 8: Who knows they could be healing with all of that 415 00:22:08,027 --> 00:22:11,027 Speaker 8: tour as well, going away with that team of bonding. 416 00:22:11,467 --> 00:22:14,587 Speaker 8: You know, I just don't understand it, and I don't 417 00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:17,827 Speaker 8: understand why they think it's business as usual. Let's just 418 00:22:17,867 --> 00:22:21,507 Speaker 8: get on with it. It's not too many people's reputations 419 00:22:21,507 --> 00:22:24,747 Speaker 8: were ruined because of netball New Zealand out there and 420 00:22:24,787 --> 00:22:27,747 Speaker 8: they need to take some responsibility. And if that's us 421 00:22:27,787 --> 00:22:31,067 Speaker 8: going forward, I don't see any way that Netble's going 422 00:22:31,107 --> 00:22:33,107 Speaker 8: to get any better, not at all. 423 00:22:33,347 --> 00:22:35,827 Speaker 3: Appreciate the coltary. Nice to hear from you this afternoon. 424 00:22:35,827 --> 00:22:38,267 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two ninety two 425 00:22:38,267 --> 00:22:39,947 Speaker 3: for a text message, Pete, hang on there. We will 426 00:22:39,987 --> 00:22:43,867 Speaker 3: come to you after the break.

This has been 429 00:22:48,387 --> 00:22:51,027 Speaker 3: an issue that has ignited the text line this afternoon 430 00:22:51,027 --> 00:22:53,387 Speaker 3: and on eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two nine 431 00:22:53,467 --> 00:22:55,867 Speaker 3: two for a text message. We do have one line 432 00:22:55,907 --> 00:22:59,147 Speaker 3: free if you want to react to that from Jinny Wiley, 433 00:22:59,187 --> 00:23:03,867 Speaker 3: the Chief executive of Netball New Zealand on the three 434 00:23:03,987 --> 00:23:06,627 Speaker 3: day eight three day turnaround thing. It's not like she's 435 00:23:07,467 --> 00:23:10,347 Speaker 3: a new face. You think of the Premier League your 436 00:23:10,387 --> 00:23:12,107 Speaker 3: second coach on a Monday, and have a new coach 437 00:23:12,107 --> 00:23:14,227 Speaker 3: for a game on a Thursday or Friday. It's not 438 00:23:14,267 --> 00:23:16,427 Speaker 3: like you're having to re introduce a new face into 439 00:23:16,427 --> 00:23:19,107 Speaker 3: the environment. They know who Dame Nolean told her is 440 00:23:19,907 --> 00:23:22,347 Speaker 3: I don't get that.

Gubos, 444 00:23:31,307 --> 00:23:34,107 Speaker 1: New Zealand's most trusted home builder, New Dogs V. 445 00:23:34,667 --> 00:23:37,547 Speaker 3: We are talking the reinstatement of Dame Nolean toldal As 446 00:23:37,587 --> 00:23:40,467 Speaker 3: silver Fern's coach. Sort of reinstatement. She has to wait 447 00:23:40,587 --> 00:23:43,587 Speaker 3: till next year, but she does have her job back. Afternoon, Pete, 448 00:23:43,587 --> 00:23:46,107 Speaker 3: thanks for hanging on here again. 449 00:23:45,947 --> 00:23:48,707 Speaker 7: You're regarding No, she should be back in the job now, 450 00:23:48,867 --> 00:23:53,547 Speaker 7: decisions been made. No more this wokeness previously that came on. 451 00:23:55,667 --> 00:23:56,387 Speaker 17: As you started. 452 00:23:56,587 --> 00:23:58,707 Speaker 7: She's part of the problem. She's woke for us. I'm 453 00:23:58,787 --> 00:24:01,987 Speaker 7: con soon Mark much has made made the decision. I 454 00:24:02,027 --> 00:24:05,787 Speaker 7: think so she should be back in there. Bulls and 455 00:24:05,867 --> 00:24:08,507 Speaker 7: horns and the young these players that I don't like 456 00:24:08,547 --> 00:24:10,467 Speaker 7: who we're coaching, maybe they should be put out of 457 00:24:10,467 --> 00:24:14,067 Speaker 7: the team. Get some players that were more than wearing 458 00:24:14,067 --> 00:24:16,947 Speaker 7: the all black shirt on. If they don't like the coach, 459 00:24:17,227 --> 00:24:19,667 Speaker 7: omitted the coaches the coach and they don't like it, 460 00:24:19,827 --> 00:24:21,707 Speaker 7: I think some of the players should be moved on 461 00:24:21,747 --> 00:24:24,227 Speaker 7: and gets someone is willing to take the coach's advice 462 00:24:24,507 --> 00:24:26,707 Speaker 7: or what there are ways of coaching. 463 00:24:26,467 --> 00:24:29,307 Speaker 3: Is Yeah, I don't know how we've got to the 464 00:24:29,347 --> 00:24:33,027 Speaker 3: point where players and look, we don't know the nature 465 00:24:33,027 --> 00:24:35,267 Speaker 3: of these complaints, which is one of the frustrating things, Pete, 466 00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:38,347 Speaker 3: But that the players have this voice. Surely the ultimate 467 00:24:38,387 --> 00:24:40,907 Speaker 3: final say is with the coach for any high performance 468 00:24:40,947 --> 00:24:43,107 Speaker 3: team one hundred percent. 469 00:24:43,147 --> 00:24:46,347 Speaker 7: You know the players don't There's too much I shouldn't 470 00:24:46,387 --> 00:24:49,747 Speaker 7: say that there's too much of this wopeness. How the 471 00:24:49,787 --> 00:24:51,787 Speaker 7: kids have been brought up today. You know in Paris 472 00:24:51,827 --> 00:24:53,787 Speaker 7: angst and the coach is the coach. You don't know 473 00:24:53,787 --> 00:24:56,587 Speaker 7: where they way of coaching, Well, move on, find another 474 00:24:56,587 --> 00:24:58,787 Speaker 7: team where you might like the coach. It's not so 475 00:24:58,787 --> 00:25:01,387 Speaker 7: soft on you. But the coach is the coach. She 476 00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:03,347 Speaker 7: makes the calls, and if you don't like the calls, 477 00:25:03,707 --> 00:25:06,667 Speaker 7: go and join another team. And it's quite as I 478 00:25:06,667 --> 00:25:09,587 Speaker 7: said before, in more more than other ladies were quite 479 00:25:09,587 --> 00:25:12,027 Speaker 7: wanting to wear that shirt and they respect the coach 480 00:25:12,067 --> 00:25:13,907 Speaker 7: and they're not in the co and the coach watch 481 00:25:13,947 --> 00:25:16,227 Speaker 7: how she's what he's gone through his disgusting bars on 482 00:25:16,227 --> 00:25:16,587 Speaker 7: the scene. 483 00:25:16,707 --> 00:25:18,467 Speaker 3: Pete, thank you very much. Oh one hundred and eighty 484 00:25:18,467 --> 00:25:22,147 Speaker 3: ten eighty. We do have one line three afternoon, John, 485 00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:22,787 Speaker 3: how are you. 486 00:25:23,907 --> 00:25:27,667 Speaker 17: Yeah, afternoon? I'd just like to have my say on it. 487 00:25:27,987 --> 00:25:33,747 Speaker 17: I think that the whole thing relies or rests fairly 488 00:25:33,867 --> 00:25:39,467 Speaker 17: with the CEO. After the last World Cup netball I 489 00:25:39,507 --> 00:25:43,027 Speaker 17: think finished New Zealand netball I think finished fourth, sorry, 490 00:25:43,067 --> 00:25:46,187 Speaker 17: the fourth of the last World Cup and third at 491 00:25:46,227 --> 00:25:50,147 Speaker 17: the last Commonwealth Games, and there was no inquiry into 492 00:25:50,147 --> 00:25:56,267 Speaker 17: the team's contribution or any discrepancy that there might be 493 00:25:56,267 --> 00:25:59,867 Speaker 17: between the team. And we move on to twenty twenty 494 00:25:59,907 --> 00:26:04,147 Speaker 17: five when a handful of players, which seemingly and I'm 495 00:26:04,187 --> 00:26:07,587 Speaker 17: only just going on what I've heard the same, they 496 00:26:07,627 --> 00:26:09,987 Speaker 17: have a bit of a say about the process and 497 00:26:10,067 --> 00:26:14,587 Speaker 17: the CEO buckles down. Then the CEO, in an announcement 498 00:26:14,707 --> 00:26:18,107 Speaker 17: this morning which I agree with everyone means nothing, has 499 00:26:18,227 --> 00:26:22,907 Speaker 17: completely set day Noline up to fail by giving saying 500 00:26:22,947 --> 00:26:26,027 Speaker 17: that they shall have the team back, but just ten 501 00:26:26,067 --> 00:26:28,147 Speaker 17: minutes before they help on the plane to go back 502 00:26:28,187 --> 00:26:33,307 Speaker 17: to the Commonwealth Games. It's appalling. And the Commonwealth Games 503 00:26:33,387 --> 00:26:36,507 Speaker 17: are being held or this tour is being held at 504 00:26:36,547 --> 00:26:39,267 Speaker 17: the same venue. From what I understand is the Commonwealth 505 00:26:39,267 --> 00:26:43,427 Speaker 17: Games is surely, surely she should be on that plane 506 00:26:43,467 --> 00:26:47,187 Speaker 17: going to the Northern Tour. It's part of the coaching team. 507 00:26:47,227 --> 00:26:49,747 Speaker 17: If not the coaching team. I think she's been set 508 00:26:49,827 --> 00:26:50,347 Speaker 17: up to fail. 509 00:26:51,627 --> 00:26:54,187 Speaker 3: I don't get and you're right, John, I think this 510 00:26:54,227 --> 00:26:55,987 Speaker 3: is important for her to be on this too. And 511 00:26:56,307 --> 00:26:58,627 Speaker 3: games are going to be at a premium next year. 512 00:26:58,667 --> 00:27:00,627 Speaker 3: She's not going to have a lot of time coaching 513 00:27:00,627 --> 00:27:03,147 Speaker 3: this team ahead of the mid year Commonwealth Games. Surely 514 00:27:04,187 --> 00:27:06,307 Speaker 3: three days, whatever it is, get her and Cam, get 515 00:27:06,427 --> 00:27:08,987 Speaker 3: then around the table and hatch these issues out before 516 00:27:08,987 --> 00:27:10,827 Speaker 3: you jump on the plane to the northern hemisphere. 517 00:27:11,867 --> 00:27:12,067 Speaker 18: Yeah. 518 00:27:12,307 --> 00:27:16,387 Speaker 17: I agree that the announcement, the announcement and the acceptance 519 00:27:16,427 --> 00:27:20,987 Speaker 17: of it by netball at the high level is just 520 00:27:21,427 --> 00:27:24,067 Speaker 17: you know, out of all of this, I see one 521 00:27:24,347 --> 00:27:27,667 Speaker 17: organization that would be paved off the way this has gone, 522 00:27:28,067 --> 00:27:30,667 Speaker 17: and that would be sky Sport, Because about two or 523 00:27:30,707 --> 00:27:34,307 Speaker 17: three weeks before all this debarkle came out, they agreed 524 00:27:34,347 --> 00:27:37,147 Speaker 17: to an agreement with Netpork. I bet they were wishing 525 00:27:37,187 --> 00:27:38,507 Speaker 17: that they'd put it off to. 526 00:27:38,587 --> 00:27:41,947 Speaker 3: Now, John, thank you for your call this afternoon, Oh, 527 00:27:41,987 --> 00:27:44,107 Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine, so for 528 00:27:44,147 --> 00:27:46,387 Speaker 3: a text message afternoon, Calvin. 529 00:27:46,987 --> 00:27:49,627 Speaker 13: Yeah, very good afternoon to you. Elliott. Yet, right from 530 00:27:49,707 --> 00:27:53,347 Speaker 13: day one, I thought to myself that a lot of 531 00:27:53,387 --> 00:27:57,187 Speaker 13: young people nowadays don't like being told what to do 532 00:27:57,867 --> 00:28:00,347 Speaker 13: and what not to do. So I thought that could 533 00:28:00,347 --> 00:28:02,667 Speaker 13: have been the problem or the only alternative I thought, 534 00:28:02,947 --> 00:28:05,627 Speaker 13: which I'm sure is not the case with Dame Nolene, 535 00:28:05,707 --> 00:28:11,547 Speaker 13: who herself and the woman's age, what she is at 536 00:28:11,587 --> 00:28:14,987 Speaker 13: the moment, what happens to women, But I'm sure that's 537 00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:18,667 Speaker 13: not the case. But anyway, I can't understand why Dame 538 00:28:18,747 --> 00:28:22,707 Speaker 13: Nolen hasn't been put in this coach, you know, because 539 00:28:23,227 --> 00:28:26,907 Speaker 13: for the northern tour to Glasgow, and that's twenty days 540 00:28:26,987 --> 00:28:29,987 Speaker 13: or three weeks away, plenty of time. I can't see 541 00:28:30,027 --> 00:28:33,787 Speaker 13: why why she hasn't been Rion say to this coach, 542 00:28:33,947 --> 00:28:35,747 Speaker 13: you know almost immediately. 543 00:28:35,827 --> 00:28:40,187 Speaker 3: Well, that's right. She lives in Hamilton, lives in Whiteatto, 544 00:28:40,227 --> 00:28:43,027 Speaker 3: as far as I'm still aware, Calvin, they're playing in 545 00:28:43,027 --> 00:28:45,347 Speaker 3: Hamilton at four o'clock this afternoon. She probably could have 546 00:28:45,347 --> 00:28:49,587 Speaker 3: taken over this afternoon and got back into the role. 547 00:28:49,747 --> 00:28:53,707 Speaker 3: A lot of text messages here. Jenny Wiley did not 548 00:28:54,507 --> 00:28:56,307 Speaker 3: at any time in the interview support the return of 549 00:28:56,347 --> 00:28:58,587 Speaker 3: Dame no Lean. I fear that Dame Nolen has been 550 00:28:58,587 --> 00:29:02,387 Speaker 3: treated appallingly and some players still seem to hold too 551 00:29:02,467 --> 00:29:05,267 Speaker 3: much way. Surely says if our Dame Nolean is the coach, 552 00:29:05,347 --> 00:29:08,467 Speaker 3: then she should be back now now time for the 553 00:29:08,627 --> 00:29:12,187 Speaker 3: chair and ceo to go. And another one says, no, 554 00:29:12,267 --> 00:29:14,707 Speaker 3: it's not the right solution. My opinion, Jimmy Wiley should 555 00:29:14,707 --> 00:29:17,947 Speaker 3: be sacked. The whole saga is disgusting and too much secrecy. 556 00:29:17,947 --> 00:29:21,267 Speaker 3: I know my colleague Nathan Limm has spoken to Matt 557 00:29:21,267 --> 00:29:23,347 Speaker 3: Winney this morning and asked whether Jimmy Wider is going 558 00:29:23,427 --> 00:29:25,947 Speaker 3: to has the support of Netballe New Zealand's board. It 559 00:29:25,987 --> 00:29:30,547 Speaker 3: sounds like she still does. But yeah, Paula with says, Hi, 560 00:29:30,747 --> 00:29:32,907 Speaker 3: how amazing that Ms Whydy can give an interview and 561 00:29:32,907 --> 00:29:36,787 Speaker 3: not say anything, just a lot of flannel and Lorraine 562 00:29:36,827 --> 00:29:39,267 Speaker 3: great she's back. What about the contract? Isn't it meant 563 00:29:39,307 --> 00:29:41,627 Speaker 3: to be renewed or not in genuary? It's an interesting 564 00:29:41,627 --> 00:29:43,067 Speaker 3: point the right, I'll have the double chair. I think 565 00:29:43,107 --> 00:29:44,627 Speaker 3: she's through to the Comwalth Games, so I'm going to 566 00:29:44,667 --> 00:29:48,147 Speaker 3: double check on that for you. Let's go to Keen afternoon, Ken. 567 00:29:48,747 --> 00:29:53,067 Speaker 5: Good afternoon. Look, I think the whole thing's been fiasco. 568 00:29:53,507 --> 00:29:57,867 Speaker 5: What she needs to be held account accountable for as 569 00:29:57,907 --> 00:30:02,147 Speaker 5: well the CEO, I mean, and her board is why 570 00:30:02,187 --> 00:30:05,507 Speaker 5: it took two months and what and included in that 571 00:30:05,627 --> 00:30:09,507 Speaker 5: two months was a ten hour meeting. I mean, you know, 572 00:30:09,667 --> 00:30:13,347 Speaker 5: with great respect to the sport, it's not the United Nations. 573 00:30:13,707 --> 00:30:17,267 Speaker 5: They need to be more decisive because the one thing 574 00:30:17,347 --> 00:30:22,107 Speaker 5: that can affect Team Barraw is in decisiveness. They get 575 00:30:22,187 --> 00:30:26,787 Speaker 5: confidence from decisive action and knowing that you know they've 576 00:30:26,787 --> 00:30:31,107 Speaker 5: got a good organization, a strong organization behind them. To 577 00:30:31,147 --> 00:30:37,427 Speaker 5: be honest with you, that bore New Zealand disappearing this week. Yeah, 578 00:30:37,547 --> 00:30:39,747 Speaker 5: that's my opinion, and I'm an netball fan, but I 579 00:30:39,827 --> 00:30:44,347 Speaker 5: really feel for Dan Noline and the earlier callers said. 580 00:30:44,587 --> 00:30:47,947 Speaker 5: The way it's been structured now is she's really been 581 00:30:48,027 --> 00:30:49,787 Speaker 5: set up to sail. It's just not there. 582 00:30:50,147 --> 00:30:53,027 Speaker 3: So you think she should be back in the job 583 00:30:53,067 --> 00:30:56,747 Speaker 3: as of today or for at least in Northern Tiloken, at. 584 00:30:56,627 --> 00:31:00,227 Speaker 5: Least in northern Northern Tour. I think today's probably at Littleston. 585 00:31:00,387 --> 00:31:04,187 Speaker 5: But yeah, but a three day turnaround that she should 586 00:31:04,267 --> 00:31:06,627 Speaker 5: be definitely installed for that. 587 00:31:07,027 --> 00:31:10,027 Speaker 3: Yes, nice to talk to you this afternoon. Ken a 588 00:31:10,027 --> 00:31:12,067 Speaker 3: lot of textan on nine to nine, so I'm going 589 00:31:12,107 --> 00:31:15,907 Speaker 3: to try and catch up with them. An interesting point here, 590 00:31:16,107 --> 00:31:17,467 Speaker 3: it's not signed, but I'm going to read it out. 591 00:31:17,507 --> 00:31:19,307 Speaker 3: Neble and New Zealand have done the right thing by 592 00:31:19,307 --> 00:31:21,907 Speaker 3: standing down total as she was not accepting the new 593 00:31:21,947 --> 00:31:25,187 Speaker 3: culture rules of professional sport introduced into the Olivia Podmore case, 594 00:31:25,227 --> 00:31:27,907 Speaker 3: all professional sports bodies have to take on these new 595 00:31:27,987 --> 00:31:31,667 Speaker 3: rules around player safety and well being not just Netball 596 00:31:31,747 --> 00:31:33,827 Speaker 3: unfortunately told her it is also on the board. At 597 00:31:33,827 --> 00:31:35,427 Speaker 3: the time, it was acknowledged that this could prove a 598 00:31:35,467 --> 00:31:38,307 Speaker 3: difficult situation. Coaches should not also be on the Netball 599 00:31:38,347 --> 00:31:40,427 Speaker 3: New Zealand board. As a result, Netble in New Zealand, 600 00:31:40,667 --> 00:31:44,227 Speaker 3: under challenging circumstances, have been very professional in dealing with 601 00:31:44,267 --> 00:31:47,107 Speaker 3: Nolean's attitude which is old hat. Now that's an interesting 602 00:31:47,147 --> 00:31:50,627 Speaker 3: opinion which goes against the grain of what we are 603 00:31:50,627 --> 00:31:53,347 Speaker 3: getting this afternoon. Finn with this, Jenny Widy needs to 604 00:31:53,347 --> 00:31:55,867 Speaker 3: go and get Nolean and straight away chasing with us 605 00:31:56,147 --> 00:31:58,907 Speaker 3: high alerct congratulations on being the New AB's coach for 606 00:31:58,947 --> 00:32:00,707 Speaker 3: the Northern tour. We don't want you to attend any 607 00:32:00,707 --> 00:32:02,987 Speaker 3: of the trainings or be involved in selecting the team, 608 00:32:03,587 --> 00:32:06,987 Speaker 3: but we will call you the coach. Another with us 609 00:32:06,987 --> 00:32:10,027 Speaker 3: not convincing. CEO very poorly managed to allow the situation 610 00:32:10,107 --> 00:32:12,067 Speaker 3: to blow out the way it did and now make 611 00:32:12,107 --> 00:32:14,707 Speaker 3: comments that it was always about getting time. It tells 612 00:32:14,707 --> 00:32:16,787 Speaker 3: me some very poor decisions and judgment by the chief 613 00:32:16,827 --> 00:32:19,787 Speaker 3: executive or other managers that are involved in the scenario 614 00:32:19,827 --> 00:32:21,387 Speaker 3: to allow it to blow out the way it did. 615 00:32:21,667 --> 00:32:23,667 Speaker 3: And also they didn't do a thorough investigation. If they 616 00:32:23,667 --> 00:32:25,627 Speaker 3: only spoke to seven players and not the wider group 617 00:32:25,667 --> 00:32:28,747 Speaker 3: as claimed and only back seems quite lamed. Their comments 618 00:32:28,747 --> 00:32:32,547 Speaker 3: were all a bit flaky to me. Nine two nine 619 00:32:32,627 --> 00:32:35,907 Speaker 3: two for a text message was trying to find one 620 00:32:35,947 --> 00:32:39,667 Speaker 3: that I did stand out. This is from Jordan Elliott. 621 00:32:39,707 --> 00:32:41,867 Speaker 3: Jinny is the absolute best interviewing for fifteen minutes, not 622 00:32:41,907 --> 00:32:45,187 Speaker 3: having said anything, so hard to listen, same as last 623 00:32:45,187 --> 00:32:51,667 Speaker 3: time with Pineyer.

Potentially? 645 00:33:51,107 --> 00:33:53,267 Speaker 19: Amazingly, we're going to get a full match of cricket. 646 00:33:53,267 --> 00:33:55,587 Speaker 20: Well, according to the weather at the moment, it's bright 647 00:33:55,627 --> 00:33:59,147 Speaker 20: sunshine space to day. There's no rain forecast. But at 648 00:33:59,147 --> 00:34:01,467 Speaker 20: the same time I've been learning never to believe any 649 00:34:01,507 --> 00:34:04,067 Speaker 20: of the New Zealand weather forecasts. So I might be 650 00:34:04,147 --> 00:34:05,787 Speaker 20: lying to everyone, but at the moment I think we're 651 00:34:05,787 --> 00:34:06,187 Speaker 20: going to play. 652 00:34:06,387 --> 00:34:09,147 Speaker 3: Haven't exactly turned it on for you the last week 653 00:34:09,267 --> 00:34:13,267 Speaker 3: or so around the country. What did England learn from 654 00:34:13,267 --> 00:34:14,627 Speaker 3: that T twenty series. 655 00:34:16,547 --> 00:34:20,267 Speaker 20: It's going to sound a bit tweet and rubbish, but 656 00:34:20,467 --> 00:34:22,987 Speaker 20: they basically have focused on probably more of a team 657 00:34:23,107 --> 00:34:26,107 Speaker 20: team bonding. Elliott in that over the last couple of years, 658 00:34:26,107 --> 00:34:28,947 Speaker 20: the White ball team has been so kind of mismashed. 659 00:34:28,987 --> 00:34:31,027 Speaker 20: There's been a load of ODII series played when Test 660 00:34:31,067 --> 00:34:33,147 Speaker 20: series have been happening as well, so kind of a 661 00:34:33,187 --> 00:34:35,827 Speaker 20: second stream squad went out to the West Indies last year. 662 00:34:36,147 --> 00:34:37,187 Speaker 19: There was an ODII. 663 00:34:36,947 --> 00:34:39,747 Speaker 20: Series against the Netherlands a few years ago when they 664 00:34:39,747 --> 00:34:41,747 Speaker 20: were also playing a Test match in Manchester. 665 00:34:42,267 --> 00:34:43,227 Speaker 19: So basically Brendan. 666 00:34:43,067 --> 00:34:45,827 Speaker 20: McCullum and Harry Brook got the squad together a few 667 00:34:45,867 --> 00:34:48,827 Speaker 20: days in advance. They went down to Queenstown, they played golf, 668 00:34:48,827 --> 00:34:50,907 Speaker 20: they had a few beers and the idea is basically 669 00:34:50,907 --> 00:34:54,707 Speaker 20: trying to create a stable, settled tea. So on the 670 00:34:54,747 --> 00:34:56,707 Speaker 20: pitch they learned pretty much nothing because they only played 671 00:34:56,707 --> 00:34:57,987 Speaker 20: about six year olds of cricket. 672 00:34:58,267 --> 00:35:00,627 Speaker 19: But they are saying, and they said this ahead of time, that. 673 00:35:00,667 --> 00:35:02,507 Speaker 20: The point of this trip is as much to kind 674 00:35:02,547 --> 00:35:04,627 Speaker 20: of gel together as a group and actually get a 675 00:35:04,667 --> 00:35:07,467 Speaker 20: bit of a settled eleven as much as it is 676 00:35:07,707 --> 00:35:08,307 Speaker 20: winning on. 677 00:35:08,307 --> 00:35:12,667 Speaker 3: The pitch because England haven't been vets convincing it one 678 00:35:12,707 --> 00:35:19,147 Speaker 3: day international level under Britain mccallumis you'd have They. 679 00:35:17,387 --> 00:35:20,547 Speaker 20: Well, it's amazing kind of without any nuance, you don't 680 00:35:20,547 --> 00:35:23,147 Speaker 20: need any caveats England have just been bad at ODII 681 00:35:23,187 --> 00:35:24,467 Speaker 20: cricket for a couple of years now. 682 00:35:24,787 --> 00:35:25,227 Speaker 11: I think the. 683 00:35:25,187 --> 00:35:28,907 Speaker 19: Stat is they've won eight of their last twenty three. 684 00:35:29,627 --> 00:35:31,387 Speaker 20: So T twenty cricket they've actually be pretty good but 685 00:35:31,427 --> 00:35:35,387 Speaker 20: ODII cricket because again, like the squad's been subject to 686 00:35:35,507 --> 00:35:38,067 Speaker 20: so much change. They'd never read out their first eleven 687 00:35:38,187 --> 00:35:40,987 Speaker 20: until kind of this summer when Brook and McCollum took 688 00:35:40,987 --> 00:35:43,747 Speaker 20: over as a pair. They beat the West Indies at 689 00:35:43,747 --> 00:35:46,467 Speaker 20: the West Indies are pretty week and then South Africa. 690 00:35:46,147 --> 00:35:48,227 Speaker 19: Turned them over. England are. 691 00:35:49,267 --> 00:35:51,787 Speaker 20: They'll have to change today because Will Jackson's injured, so 692 00:35:52,107 --> 00:35:55,067 Speaker 20: probably we're expecting Sam Carnal come in. But they've gone 693 00:35:55,067 --> 00:35:57,947 Speaker 20: for this like hyper aggressive tactic of basically having seven 694 00:35:58,027 --> 00:36:02,587 Speaker 20: specialist batters and four specialist bowlers and making up the 695 00:36:02,667 --> 00:36:03,587 Speaker 20: last ten overs with. 696 00:36:03,627 --> 00:36:06,347 Speaker 19: Basically just like whoever is available, and that kind of 697 00:36:06,427 --> 00:36:08,107 Speaker 19: of kicked. 698 00:36:07,987 --> 00:36:11,427 Speaker 20: Him in the backside against Africa because Jacob Bethel and 699 00:36:11,427 --> 00:36:14,307 Speaker 20: Will Jackson bowling like this part time spin and South 700 00:36:14,307 --> 00:36:17,907 Speaker 20: Africa absolutely whacked it. So they're going to have to 701 00:36:17,987 --> 00:36:20,187 Speaker 20: change it a little bit for you guys. This afternoon'll 702 00:36:20,187 --> 00:36:22,787 Speaker 20: probably be a bit more Banns for the bowling lineup. 703 00:36:23,147 --> 00:36:24,187 Speaker 18: But yeah, I mean. 704 00:36:25,827 --> 00:36:28,107 Speaker 19: They on paper they're good. They should be really good. 705 00:36:28,147 --> 00:36:31,107 Speaker 20: They've got amazing players, but they've just really enjoyed losing 706 00:36:31,147 --> 00:36:32,107 Speaker 20: of late, so we'll see. 707 00:36:32,827 --> 00:36:36,067 Speaker 3: I know this is a different format, but how important 708 00:36:36,147 --> 00:36:38,107 Speaker 3: is this for some of these players like Joe Root, 709 00:36:38,307 --> 00:36:40,827 Speaker 3: Jeoff Ratcher. I don't think he's playing today some others 710 00:36:40,827 --> 00:36:43,267 Speaker 3: to get some game time ahead of the series. 711 00:36:45,867 --> 00:36:47,707 Speaker 19: Yeah, we asked yeah, yeah, no. 712 00:36:47,747 --> 00:36:49,987 Speaker 20: We asked Joe Route this yesterday and I was ready 713 00:36:49,987 --> 00:36:52,827 Speaker 20: and rare to him to be like, it's all good preparation. 714 00:36:53,147 --> 00:36:55,267 Speaker 20: I just don't want to get the mind adjusted and 715 00:36:55,267 --> 00:36:59,547 Speaker 20: settled into into international cricket, and then unfortunately just went Nah. 716 00:36:59,707 --> 00:37:00,507 Speaker 19: Doesn't help battle. 717 00:37:00,587 --> 00:37:06,027 Speaker 20: Completely different format, different country, different teams. There's no translation 718 00:37:06,107 --> 00:37:08,187 Speaker 20: with how I'm going to do here of how things 719 00:37:08,187 --> 00:37:08,867 Speaker 20: are going to go in the. 720 00:37:08,787 --> 00:37:10,187 Speaker 19: Ashes, which I think. 721 00:37:10,947 --> 00:37:13,027 Speaker 20: I think that's an honest answer, because I don't think 722 00:37:13,067 --> 00:37:14,827 Speaker 20: he has anything to gain by saying it one way 723 00:37:14,907 --> 00:37:19,587 Speaker 20: or the other. It is partly the media's fault and 724 00:37:19,827 --> 00:37:21,747 Speaker 20: me is one of them out here that every time 725 00:37:21,747 --> 00:37:23,947 Speaker 20: we speak to England player, realistically, we are all a 726 00:37:23,987 --> 00:37:26,067 Speaker 20: bit obsessed with the Ashes at the moment. So we're 727 00:37:26,107 --> 00:37:28,587 Speaker 20: asking them questions about Australia and they're giving us answers about 728 00:37:28,627 --> 00:37:32,187 Speaker 20: New Zealand. But yeah, there's no way, there's no way 729 00:37:32,267 --> 00:37:34,187 Speaker 20: if Joe Root and Harry Brooks scores some runs that 730 00:37:34,187 --> 00:37:37,747 Speaker 20: can bear bad thing for first a month's. 731 00:37:37,547 --> 00:37:41,067 Speaker 3: Time And Cameron give us the English perspective on New Zealand. 732 00:37:41,067 --> 00:37:43,107 Speaker 3: What are you expecting from the black Caps over this 733 00:37:43,147 --> 00:37:43,867 Speaker 3: one day series. 734 00:37:45,307 --> 00:37:46,547 Speaker 20: Well, it's a bit of a mystery because that you 735 00:37:46,587 --> 00:37:49,427 Speaker 20: guys haven't played since the Champions Trophy about six months ago. 736 00:37:49,827 --> 00:37:52,147 Speaker 20: And to be honest, I've I've been having a bit 737 00:37:52,187 --> 00:37:54,467 Speaker 20: of a crash course in kind of New Zealand cricket. While 738 00:37:54,467 --> 00:37:56,147 Speaker 20: so I've been over here, I've been learning all about 739 00:37:56,147 --> 00:37:59,307 Speaker 20: how October is not the traditional cricket season, and that 740 00:37:59,427 --> 00:38:02,107 Speaker 20: is well it's spring basically and it keeps raining for 741 00:38:02,547 --> 00:38:05,147 Speaker 20: that reason, and the kind of sparsity of cricket over 742 00:38:05,187 --> 00:38:08,667 Speaker 20: the summer there's no more. There's no international home cricket 743 00:38:08,667 --> 00:38:11,027 Speaker 20: in January or February here this year in parts of 744 00:38:11,027 --> 00:38:13,147 Speaker 20: the World Cup, and that's the second year in a 745 00:38:13,227 --> 00:38:17,147 Speaker 20: row on pay for you guys, Like it's one of 746 00:38:17,147 --> 00:38:18,867 Speaker 20: those weird ones. I think everyone kind of bullies or 747 00:38:18,907 --> 00:38:20,547 Speaker 20: things they can bully, using them a little bit, and 748 00:38:20,587 --> 00:38:23,107 Speaker 20: then they always end up in an ICC final and 749 00:38:23,107 --> 00:38:26,427 Speaker 20: then they beat England and England museums like really historic 750 00:38:26,507 --> 00:38:29,747 Speaker 20: matches in the recent past. So I'm expected one team 751 00:38:29,787 --> 00:38:31,787 Speaker 20: is going to win too. One that is that set 752 00:38:31,827 --> 00:38:32,547 Speaker 20: on the fence enough. 753 00:38:34,107 --> 00:38:36,867 Speaker 3: I think that's good. I think that's good.

A bunch of 777 00:39:42,387 --> 00:39:44,707 Speaker 3: cliche one line has joined together to make a sentence 778 00:39:44,787 --> 00:39:47,427 Speaker 3: told her last six months with the players getting more safe, 779 00:39:47,747 --> 00:39:49,907 Speaker 3: she wants them fitter, but some of them don't like it. 780 00:39:49,987 --> 00:39:52,427 Speaker 3: That's always been Dame Noling Podo's thing is that the 781 00:39:52,467 --> 00:39:55,227 Speaker 3: fitness level ever since she I think she went when 782 00:39:55,227 --> 00:39:56,787 Speaker 3: she was with the Magic, the way kind of Bay 783 00:39:56,827 --> 00:39:59,067 Speaker 3: of plenty magic.

This is there been players 786 00:40:03,787 --> 00:40:08,427 Speaker 3: that have missed out on opportunities because of this, because 787 00:40:08,507 --> 00:40:11,947 Speaker 3: of her fitness standards. Yet her results speak for itself. 788 00:40:11,987 --> 00:40:14,907 Speaker 3: Now the World Cup in twenty three.

My understanding 793 00:40:28,627 --> 00:40:31,907 Speaker 3: is yes, but we'll watch the space on that front. 794 00:40:31,907 --> 00:40:36,107 Speaker 3: I guess that's one for Dame Nolean to answer. Another 795 00:40:36,187 --> 00:40:38,547 Speaker 3: one with Rick says Knickbourne, New Zealand are guilty of 796 00:40:38,587 --> 00:40:40,987 Speaker 3: micro managing Dame Nolean and the silver fans.

Peter with this, mcausden 824 00:42:19,787 --> 00:42:22,067 Speaker 3: jury was put in with only a few days notice 825 00:42:22,347 --> 00:42:25,667 Speaker 3: and she had no pre established platform, So the argument 826 00:42:25,707 --> 00:42:29,467 Speaker 3: against putting Noeline in with three days notice is a nonsense. 827 00:42:29,507 --> 00:42:33,547 Speaker 3: Good point, Paul, Peter, rob So with this under no 828 00:42:33,707 --> 00:42:36,227 Speaker 3: Lean's coaching, silver Fans won bronze medal at the twenty 829 00:42:36,267 --> 00:42:38,747 Speaker 3: twenty two Birmingham Commonwealth Games and at twenty twenty three 830 00:42:38,827 --> 00:42:41,627 Speaker 3: Netbow World Cup the Silver Fans finished fourth there wast 831 00:42:41,707 --> 00:42:44,187 Speaker 3: ever in history. I thought she would have been replaced them. 832 00:42:44,627 --> 00:42:48,627 Speaker 3: Good listening, she is Sue Nathan see his total guests 833 00:42:48,627 --> 00:42:50,827 Speaker 3: work from the callers. The reality is we have no 834 00:42:50,947 --> 00:42:54,107 Speaker 3: idea what's happened. Well, you're right, and I thought this 835 00:42:54,107 --> 00:42:56,027 Speaker 3: would have been the opportunity to at least outline that 836 00:42:56,507 --> 00:43:02,107 Speaker 3: from netball in New Zealand, but they didn't. Last text 837 00:43:02,347 --> 00:43:04,787 Speaker 3: on the matter. This is from jan High, my first 838 00:43:04,827 --> 00:43:06,507 Speaker 3: time on here. I wonder if some players will sit 839 00:43:06,587 --> 00:43:09,307 Speaker 3: down after the Northern tour with Knoles coming back, which 840 00:43:09,387 --> 00:43:11,347 Speaker 3: is why they won't bring you in now, because if 841 00:43:11,387 --> 00:43:13,987 Speaker 3: Gils decide not to play now we will know exactly 842 00:43:14,027 --> 00:43:16,107 Speaker 3: who's been at the forefront of this. Such a shame. 843 00:43:16,227 --> 00:43:18,747 Speaker 3: Nols will be going into the combath Games not having 844 00:43:18,787 --> 00:43:23,947 Speaker 3: coached any previous tests following this absolute debarkle. If we 845 00:43:24,067 --> 00:43:25,507 Speaker 3: have more time, might get to a few more a 846 00:43:25,507 --> 00:43:27,987 Speaker 3: bit later on, but it is ignited. The text line 847 00:43:28,307 --> 00:43:30,867 Speaker 3: on nine to nine two this afternoon. We'll keep you 848 00:43:30,947 --> 00:43:33,107 Speaker 3: up to that with World A Game two of the 849 00:43:33,107 --> 00:43:35,787 Speaker 3: World Series. Paul Cole is also in action in the 850 00:43:35,947 --> 00:43:38,907 Speaker 3: US Open squash. I think it's a semi finals stage. 851 00:43:38,947 --> 00:43:41,187 Speaker 3: We'll keep across that for you as well until we 852 00:43:41,267 --> 00:43:44,347 Speaker 3: wrap up at three here on news talk zbe where 853 00:43:44,467 --> 00:43:48,347 Speaker 3: it is eight after one. Let's go to the O 854 00:43:48,467 --> 00:44:05,107 Speaker 3: two Arena in London. These the stunning scenes this morning, heavy. 855 00:44:04,907 --> 00:44:18,427 Speaker 2: Way platters away sers Savage. 856 00:44:18,747 --> 00:44:26,027 Speaker 1: U Beta and that's the opportunity challenging from the upscute 857 00:44:26,147 --> 00:44:28,347 Speaker 1: of Heavyweight Championship. 858 00:44:27,787 --> 00:44:27,947 Speaker 19: Of the. 859 00:44:29,427 --> 00:44:33,667 Speaker 3: That was on design this morning. Joseph Parker beat him 860 00:44:33,707 --> 00:44:37,067 Speaker 3: this morning and stunning scenes at the OTO Arena in 861 00:44:37,227 --> 00:44:40,667 Speaker 3: London against Farbio Wardley. This is obviously a vital fight 862 00:44:40,787 --> 00:44:44,827 Speaker 3: for Parker and Wardley of course says to whether who 863 00:44:44,947 --> 00:44:47,387 Speaker 3: was going to get that spot for the world title 864 00:44:47,427 --> 00:44:52,587 Speaker 3: fight against Alexander Usik and Joseph Parker loses in the 865 00:44:52,667 --> 00:44:55,747 Speaker 3: eleventh round via t k Oh. Joining us now from 866 00:44:55,787 --> 00:44:58,987 Speaker 3: the go to arena in London is Liam Napier, who 867 00:44:59,067 --> 00:45:00,307 Speaker 3: was on the ground. Liam. 868 00:45:00,347 --> 00:45:03,387 Speaker 2: Thanks for your time afternoon, Elliott. 869 00:45:03,587 --> 00:45:05,187 Speaker 3: Were you stunned by that result? 870 00:45:07,907 --> 00:45:11,467 Speaker 21: Well, it's heavyweight boxing. Anything's possible, but there was certainly 871 00:45:11,507 --> 00:45:14,507 Speaker 21: an upset. Joe Parker was a hot favorite with the bookies, 872 00:45:15,147 --> 00:45:19,827 Speaker 21: and on paper he had all the experience and he 873 00:45:19,987 --> 00:45:23,307 Speaker 21: was widely considered to be the superior skilled boxer. But 874 00:45:23,787 --> 00:45:28,387 Speaker 21: everyone also knew that Fabia Wadley has equalizing power, devastating 875 00:45:28,467 --> 00:45:32,907 Speaker 21: right hands, and that's ultimately how he got the job done. 876 00:45:33,507 --> 00:45:35,987 Speaker 3: It felt like Parker and looking at the scoring, at 877 00:45:36,027 --> 00:45:38,187 Speaker 3: least they were doing un design with the commentator, is 878 00:45:38,187 --> 00:45:40,547 Speaker 3: that Parker was ahead of the game to that point, 879 00:45:40,587 --> 00:45:42,027 Speaker 3: at least on points late in the fight. 880 00:45:42,147 --> 00:45:42,507 Speaker 10: Was that right? 881 00:45:43,787 --> 00:45:44,227 Speaker 22: That's all right? 882 00:45:44,347 --> 00:45:47,587 Speaker 21: Yes, I think he was well up on all cards, 883 00:45:47,947 --> 00:45:52,787 Speaker 21: probably four, maybe even five rounds with the judges. 884 00:45:54,547 --> 00:45:56,787 Speaker 18: But look, it was a very back and forth contest. 885 00:45:57,587 --> 00:45:59,707 Speaker 21: Joe came out with a flurry in the first round, 886 00:45:59,907 --> 00:46:02,747 Speaker 21: but then he was stunned in the second and actually 887 00:46:02,827 --> 00:46:05,267 Speaker 21: lost his mouth guard which allowed him time to recover. 888 00:46:05,787 --> 00:46:08,827 Speaker 21: Then I think he dominated largely the middle rounds and 889 00:46:08,947 --> 00:46:12,267 Speaker 21: then Fabio Wadley Justice he did in his last fight 890 00:46:12,347 --> 00:46:17,227 Speaker 21: against Australian Justice Hooney rallied late, landed those devastating punches 891 00:46:17,507 --> 00:46:21,267 Speaker 21: and Joe was stopped. I think it was one minute's 892 00:46:21,547 --> 00:46:23,907 Speaker 21: fifty odd seconds into the penultimate round. 893 00:46:23,987 --> 00:46:24,147 Speaker 11: Too. 894 00:46:25,027 --> 00:46:27,667 Speaker 21: Yeah, rob him, well, not rob him to take away 895 00:46:27,787 --> 00:46:33,267 Speaker 21: that elusive crack at the undisputed heavyweight king Alexander Usik. 896 00:46:33,507 --> 00:46:36,507 Speaker 3: Were you surprised by the decision to wave off the fight, 897 00:46:36,587 --> 00:46:38,627 Speaker 3: given Parker was ahead on points at that point and 898 00:46:39,347 --> 00:46:42,227 Speaker 3: there was no eight count, it was basically fights done. 899 00:46:43,827 --> 00:46:43,987 Speaker 18: Yeah. 900 00:46:44,067 --> 00:46:45,987 Speaker 21: Look, I think it wasn't early stoppage. I don't think 901 00:46:45,987 --> 00:46:48,107 Speaker 21: there's any disputing that, but. 902 00:46:49,907 --> 00:46:51,747 Speaker 18: Was on the ropes. He was taking a lot of 903 00:46:51,787 --> 00:46:54,347 Speaker 18: punishment and he wasn't firing a lot back. 904 00:46:54,467 --> 00:46:58,467 Speaker 21: I think one of the issues, one of the question 905 00:46:58,587 --> 00:47:01,987 Speaker 21: marks is Wadley's last little flurry. Probably his last three 906 00:47:02,027 --> 00:47:05,907 Speaker 21: punches were blocked, they didn't actually connect. Maybe in hindsight, 907 00:47:05,987 --> 00:47:08,947 Speaker 21: Parker could have should have taken a knee that would 908 00:47:08,947 --> 00:47:11,187 Speaker 21: have allowed him time to recover. And he was a 909 00:47:11,267 --> 00:47:14,067 Speaker 21: hit on all the cards, so he still could have 910 00:47:14,147 --> 00:47:17,467 Speaker 21: won the fights. But I think when you look around 911 00:47:17,507 --> 00:47:19,747 Speaker 21: the world that there is a bit of an outcry 912 00:47:19,867 --> 00:47:24,547 Speaker 21: from a lot of noted but boxing pundits and certainly 913 00:47:24,587 --> 00:47:27,107 Speaker 21: New Zealand fans who felt that stoppage was too early. 914 00:47:27,707 --> 00:47:30,067 Speaker 3: Have you spoken to the Parker camp, what's their reaction 915 00:47:30,187 --> 00:47:30,747 Speaker 3: to the defeat. 916 00:47:31,907 --> 00:47:35,227 Speaker 21: Yeah, I've just emerged from the post fight press conferences 917 00:47:35,347 --> 00:47:40,707 Speaker 21: and lot Parker's obviously very disappointed with the result. He 918 00:47:40,987 --> 00:47:45,027 Speaker 21: was he credited Fabia Wadley with the victory and committed 919 00:47:45,067 --> 00:47:47,227 Speaker 21: him on that, but he said he felt fine that 920 00:47:47,347 --> 00:47:49,507 Speaker 21: he wanted to carry on at the time of the stoppage. 921 00:47:49,547 --> 00:47:53,827 Speaker 21: So I guess you could say he was disappointed or 922 00:47:53,867 --> 00:47:58,187 Speaker 21: begrudging of the way the fight finished, but I guess 923 00:47:58,227 --> 00:47:59,387 Speaker 21: it was taken out of his hands. 924 00:47:59,787 --> 00:48:01,867 Speaker 3: So we're too now for Joseph Parker. Do you think 925 00:48:01,947 --> 00:48:05,827 Speaker 3: Liam that was a shots at the undisputed heavy wet 926 00:48:05,867 --> 00:48:09,907 Speaker 3: World Champampionship about against Alexanders. So where does Joseph Parker 927 00:48:09,987 --> 00:48:10,267 Speaker 3: go now? 928 00:48:12,067 --> 00:48:16,187 Speaker 21: Look, it is a devastating blow outlet because Parker, over 929 00:48:16,307 --> 00:48:19,107 Speaker 21: the course of since twenty twenty two has last lost 930 00:48:19,347 --> 00:48:21,667 Speaker 21: to Joe Joyce, has gone on a six fight wind streak. 931 00:48:22,627 --> 00:48:28,067 Speaker 21: He's beaten some of the most vaunted avoided heavyweights to put. 932 00:48:27,987 --> 00:48:31,867 Speaker 18: Himself right in the queue for that shot. 933 00:48:31,907 --> 00:48:36,067 Speaker 21: At USIK, he was undeniably the second best heavyweight on 934 00:48:36,147 --> 00:48:38,947 Speaker 21: the planet in terms of his status at least, and 935 00:48:39,067 --> 00:48:40,987 Speaker 21: now he really does go back to the pack, and 936 00:48:41,067 --> 00:48:42,507 Speaker 21: it is a very congested pack. 937 00:48:42,987 --> 00:48:45,987 Speaker 18: He has one more fight on his contract with Frank 938 00:48:46,027 --> 00:48:51,947 Speaker 18: Warren and Queensburry Promotions and Parker at the press, Currant said, 939 00:48:52,307 --> 00:48:54,547 Speaker 18: he still has a hunger and heart and desire. 940 00:48:54,227 --> 00:48:56,787 Speaker 21: To carry on, but he's been in a lot of wars, 941 00:48:56,947 --> 00:49:00,507 Speaker 21: and he's thirty three years old, and while he's probably 942 00:49:00,547 --> 00:49:03,867 Speaker 21: in the prime of his career, he also has his 943 00:49:04,547 --> 00:49:06,067 Speaker 21: faculties and everything to consider. 944 00:49:06,107 --> 00:49:07,787 Speaker 18: He's got five kids and a wife. 945 00:49:08,347 --> 00:49:11,587 Speaker 21: So I think he'll have one more fight and depending 946 00:49:11,627 --> 00:49:14,507 Speaker 21: on that, how that goes will very much determine his future. 947 00:49:14,547 --> 00:49:18,707 Speaker 21: But it is hard to see him, you know, going 948 00:49:18,827 --> 00:49:22,307 Speaker 21: back and trying to go on another run to get 949 00:49:23,187 --> 00:49:25,787 Speaker 21: a second crack at another world title shot. 950 00:49:26,107 --> 00:49:28,227 Speaker 3: Will we see what's he going to do? I mean, 951 00:49:28,507 --> 00:49:29,947 Speaker 3: what's the quality of fighter he's going to have to 952 00:49:30,027 --> 00:49:32,227 Speaker 3: fight in that next fight to put himself back up there? 953 00:49:32,267 --> 00:49:33,907 Speaker 3: Can he do it on one fighter line? Or is 954 00:49:33,947 --> 00:49:35,987 Speaker 3: it back to the bottom of the pack for Joseph Parker. 955 00:49:37,507 --> 00:49:40,307 Speaker 21: Potentially, I don't think he goes back to the bottom 956 00:49:40,347 --> 00:49:43,427 Speaker 21: of the packwayny stretch, but it is a big setback. 957 00:49:43,907 --> 00:49:47,067 Speaker 18: Look, there's a number of desirable fights out there he. 958 00:49:48,867 --> 00:49:52,627 Speaker 21: From a rematch perspective, there's marketable fights potentially against guys 959 00:49:52,707 --> 00:49:57,747 Speaker 21: like Joshua, Dillian White, a number of those British fighters, 960 00:49:58,147 --> 00:50:02,987 Speaker 21: Derek Tasaura, he's fought twice before, and that was mentioned 961 00:50:03,107 --> 00:50:05,627 Speaker 21: of a potential rematch with Waterlely at some point. I 962 00:50:05,667 --> 00:50:09,147 Speaker 21: think it was an amazing fight, back and forth, brilliant, 963 00:50:09,187 --> 00:50:11,947 Speaker 21: absorbing contest. I think people would love to see it again. 964 00:50:12,467 --> 00:50:16,267 Speaker 21: But who knows what happens between Wadley and Usik. So 965 00:50:16,907 --> 00:50:19,547 Speaker 21: for now, Joe, I guess we'll take time to recover 966 00:50:19,667 --> 00:50:22,707 Speaker 21: and take stock and we will see him again, but 967 00:50:23,267 --> 00:50:25,107 Speaker 21: it'll probably take him some time to get over this 968 00:50:25,267 --> 00:50:28,187 Speaker 21: first and foremost, and it is a major, major setback 969 00:50:28,227 --> 00:50:28,747 Speaker 21: for his career. 970 00:50:28,947 --> 00:50:31,907 Speaker 3: And will we get that Wardley fight after all? 971 00:50:33,107 --> 00:50:36,667 Speaker 18: I think we will. Yes, there's no one else really. 972 00:50:37,987 --> 00:50:41,227 Speaker 21: That's Usik could fight, and if he doesn't, then he 973 00:50:41,267 --> 00:50:44,707 Speaker 21: will have to vacate the WBO title. Wardley will probably 974 00:50:44,707 --> 00:50:49,267 Speaker 21: be elevated straight to champion. Joe was that the interim champion, 975 00:50:49,587 --> 00:50:53,707 Speaker 21: so he's lost that status. But I think now particularly 976 00:50:54,187 --> 00:50:56,947 Speaker 21: Wardley's a very exciting fighter and he's someone that people 977 00:50:57,027 --> 00:51:00,747 Speaker 21: want to see, and I think that fights could easily 978 00:51:00,827 --> 00:51:04,747 Speaker 21: be put at a stadium like Wembley Usiks, he's fought 979 00:51:04,787 --> 00:51:07,787 Speaker 21: in the UK number of times. In many ways, it's 980 00:51:07,827 --> 00:51:10,907 Speaker 21: a much easier fight to market than a park of 981 00:51:10,947 --> 00:51:14,387 Speaker 21: the Usak fight. And Usik has come out and said 982 00:51:14,387 --> 00:51:16,227 Speaker 21: that he wants to fight on for another couple of years, 983 00:51:16,227 --> 00:51:17,827 Speaker 21: that he wants to remain undisputed. 984 00:51:17,947 --> 00:51:20,507 Speaker 18: So if he's a man of his words, he will 985 00:51:20,547 --> 00:51:21,147 Speaker 18: fight Wardley. 986 00:51:21,707 --> 00:51:23,667 Speaker 3: Well, it's gonna be fascinated to see what happens with 987 00:51:23,747 --> 00:51:26,227 Speaker 3: both of those fighters. Legham. Napier thanks so much for 988 00:51:26,307 --> 00:51:28,747 Speaker 3: joining us the early hours of the morning in London. 989 00:51:29,027 --> 00:51:31,307 Speaker 3: Save travels. We'll see you in Chicago in a few days. 990 00:51:32,267 --> 00:51:33,947 Speaker 18: Well in the cheers, Elliott. 991 00:51:33,707 --> 00:51:36,107 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, sir Liam Napier joining us on 992 00:51:36,867 --> 00:51:40,267 Speaker 3: the program this afternoon. He has covered at for the 993 00:51:40,307 --> 00:51:41,987 Speaker 3: New Zealand Herald as well, and you can view as 994 00:51:42,027 --> 00:51:45,107 Speaker 3: match report from the Two Arena or the fight report 995 00:51:45,107 --> 00:51:47,987 Speaker 3: i should say from the Two Arena in London, trans 996 00:51:47,987 --> 00:51:49,387 Speaker 3: for you to have your say. If you watch the 997 00:51:49,427 --> 00:51:52,787 Speaker 3: fight this morning, maybe you've seen the highlights. Everyone it 998 00:51:52,867 --> 00:51:58,307 Speaker 3: seems up in arms around the intervention from the referee 999 00:51:58,387 --> 00:52:00,187 Speaker 3: in the eleventh round. Just looking at some of the 1000 00:52:00,827 --> 00:52:04,227 Speaker 3: responses from people that cover boxing on a regular basis, 1001 00:52:04,307 --> 00:52:07,267 Speaker 3: Dan Rafael watching the replan. This stoppage is even worse 1002 00:52:07,347 --> 00:52:10,867 Speaker 3: than I thought in Parker wardly terrible, says Dan RAPHAELI 1003 00:52:10,907 --> 00:52:16,987 Speaker 3: Wicks for espn Ariohbani. I'm livid. WTF. Fantastic fight, but 1004 00:52:17,107 --> 00:52:17,987 Speaker 3: awful stoppage. 1005 00:52:18,067 --> 00:52:19,387 Speaker 2: Run it back. That is not right. 1006 00:52:19,467 --> 00:52:22,347 Speaker 3: Did Joseph Parker get dutted this morning? And we're too 1007 00:52:22,467 --> 00:52:25,347 Speaker 3: now for him? Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine 1008 00:52:25,427 --> 00:52:28,547 Speaker 3: two niney two for a text message, Brian says this 1009 00:52:28,667 --> 00:52:32,387 Speaker 3: on nine two nine two. Great pure boxing today. Parker 1010 00:52:32,547 --> 00:52:35,907 Speaker 3: was impressive, but the farbio hook speed got him in 1011 00:52:36,027 --> 00:52:40,227 Speaker 3: the end. Could have gone either way. Thanks Brian. Oh 1012 00:52:40,307 --> 00:52:43,027 Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two nine two for 1013 00:52:43,227 --> 00:52:45,187 Speaker 3: a text message if you want to get in touch 1014 00:52:45,227 --> 00:52:47,867 Speaker 3: with the the program. It seems like there will be 1015 00:52:47,907 --> 00:52:51,107 Speaker 3: a bit of debate about that stoppage. I don't know 1016 00:52:51,227 --> 00:52:54,587 Speaker 3: that they've got it right. Look like Parker was as 1017 00:52:54,627 --> 00:52:57,947 Speaker 3: I say, head on points to that point. And where 1018 00:52:57,947 --> 00:53:00,787 Speaker 3: does Joseph Parker go to now in his career? That 1019 00:53:00,947 --> 00:53:05,307 Speaker 3: another loss? As Liam mentioned thees you know thirty three, 1020 00:53:05,387 --> 00:53:07,987 Speaker 3: which isn't necessarily old when you consider some of the 1021 00:53:08,067 --> 00:53:10,547 Speaker 3: boxes that have been around the traps, but he's had 1022 00:53:10,587 --> 00:53:13,187 Speaker 3: a few losses to this point. Can he reinvent himself again? 1023 00:53:13,187 --> 00:53:15,507 Speaker 3: Oh one hundred and eighteen eighty nine two for a 1024 00:53:15,587 --> 00:53:17,707 Speaker 3: text message, afternoon, Tony, how are you? 1025 00:53:18,867 --> 00:53:19,467 Speaker 17: I'm very well? 1026 00:53:19,547 --> 00:53:20,347 Speaker 22: Thank Yeah. 1027 00:53:20,507 --> 00:53:22,027 Speaker 23: I had a look at the fight and I think, 1028 00:53:22,107 --> 00:53:23,987 Speaker 23: in all honest to the fight should have been stopped. 1029 00:53:24,467 --> 00:53:27,467 Speaker 23: And the reason I say that is because Parker was 1030 00:53:27,547 --> 00:53:30,547 Speaker 23: not returning any punches. He would just continuously be being 1031 00:53:31,827 --> 00:53:34,507 Speaker 23: and the dealers with referees today especially, they don't want 1032 00:53:34,547 --> 00:53:37,427 Speaker 23: to see somebody with a brain injury or really badly hurt. 1033 00:53:38,147 --> 00:53:40,227 Speaker 23: And I think that was the right decision. But I'll 1034 00:53:40,267 --> 00:53:43,587 Speaker 23: tell you something that Usik will be jumping for joy 1035 00:53:43,667 --> 00:53:47,907 Speaker 23: to fight that guy, and that gentleman wart Yardley has 1036 00:53:48,027 --> 00:53:52,387 Speaker 23: got no chance in hell of beating music. He's not 1037 00:53:52,547 --> 00:53:56,427 Speaker 23: as skilled. He will he'll give it a shot and 1038 00:53:56,547 --> 00:54:00,307 Speaker 23: he'll be throwing haymakers, but Usic is far too classy 1039 00:54:00,707 --> 00:54:04,627 Speaker 23: and he's got no show of winning against someone of 1040 00:54:04,747 --> 00:54:05,987 Speaker 23: the skill level of Music. 1041 00:54:06,347 --> 00:54:07,907 Speaker 3: There was a moment that fight, Tony, where I thought 1042 00:54:07,987 --> 00:54:12,107 Speaker 3: Parker was about to knock out wardly about the ninth rounder. 1043 00:54:12,187 --> 00:54:14,107 Speaker 3: You had a flurry of punches, but he couldn't just 1044 00:54:14,187 --> 00:54:16,907 Speaker 3: land the knockout. Belond that's probably been there, say. The 1045 00:54:16,987 --> 00:54:19,427 Speaker 3: issue for Parker in his career is getting those knockouts. 1046 00:54:20,787 --> 00:54:23,427 Speaker 23: Yeah, I've always I've always thought when I watched park 1047 00:54:23,467 --> 00:54:24,867 Speaker 23: and I followed the righteous career. 1048 00:54:25,187 --> 00:54:27,587 Speaker 12: To me, he's never really had. 1049 00:54:27,587 --> 00:54:30,027 Speaker 23: The he's a great salesman and he's not a great 1050 00:54:30,107 --> 00:54:32,987 Speaker 23: cloth I don't. To me, he doesn't really have that 1051 00:54:33,227 --> 00:54:36,587 Speaker 23: that really tice and killer instinct, and I don't think 1052 00:54:36,627 --> 00:54:40,467 Speaker 23: he'll ever have it, and it's unfortunate, whereas this guy does. 1053 00:54:40,587 --> 00:54:43,427 Speaker 23: But the problem he's got is Yusic is too skilled. 1054 00:54:43,747 --> 00:54:45,347 Speaker 23: He won't be able to hit him. It may go 1055 00:54:45,547 --> 00:54:48,427 Speaker 23: the distance, but us will beat him on points, and 1056 00:54:48,627 --> 00:54:50,787 Speaker 23: Usic will be quite happy to fight him with no 1057 00:54:50,987 --> 00:54:51,587 Speaker 23: problem at all. 1058 00:54:51,947 --> 00:54:53,627 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Tony Oh eight hundred and eighty 1059 00:54:53,667 --> 00:54:55,627 Speaker 3: ten eighty nine two nine two for a text message 1060 00:54:55,627 --> 00:54:58,907 Speaker 3: one line free on the boxing Dan, Good afternoon. 1061 00:54:59,667 --> 00:55:00,467 Speaker 17: Good afternoon. 1062 00:55:00,547 --> 00:55:01,267 Speaker 5: How are you today? 1063 00:55:01,347 --> 00:55:03,867 Speaker 3: I'm great, yourself very good. 1064 00:55:04,387 --> 00:55:06,867 Speaker 24: Now I'm going to steer the pot and I'm going 1065 00:55:06,947 --> 00:55:12,627 Speaker 24: to say I'm glad that Parker lost, because he seems 1066 00:55:13,027 --> 00:55:17,747 Speaker 24: very mouthy and according to Parker, he was going to 1067 00:55:17,867 --> 00:55:24,427 Speaker 24: teach this guy a lesson. Well, all I could say is, well, Joseph. 1068 00:55:24,787 --> 00:55:26,067 Speaker 17: How did that go for you? 1069 00:55:26,867 --> 00:55:34,187 Speaker 24: And really, he hasn't got the skill to be fighting 1070 00:55:34,827 --> 00:55:37,387 Speaker 24: in that realm and he should give up. Why he's ahead, 1071 00:55:37,707 --> 00:55:38,027 Speaker 24: you reckon. 1072 00:55:38,107 --> 00:55:41,587 Speaker 3: That's the end of him, Dan, for his career. I 1073 00:55:41,787 --> 00:55:42,787 Speaker 3: think if I was. 1074 00:55:43,387 --> 00:55:46,587 Speaker 24: Joseph Parker, I would say, well, I'm not going to 1075 00:55:46,627 --> 00:55:47,467 Speaker 24: get any further. 1076 00:55:48,387 --> 00:55:50,107 Speaker 17: I'm a good fighter, but I'm not. 1077 00:55:50,307 --> 00:55:56,547 Speaker 24: Good enough to take the next level and get on 1078 00:55:56,747 --> 00:55:57,787 Speaker 24: and do something else. 1079 00:55:58,467 --> 00:56:00,427 Speaker 3: Dan, appreciate it. Thank you very much for your call 1080 00:56:00,507 --> 00:56:03,747 Speaker 3: this afternoon. Yeah, Parker, I mean, he's never struck me 1081 00:56:03,827 --> 00:56:08,507 Speaker 3: as the guy overly comfortable of the show. Birding is 1082 00:56:08,507 --> 00:56:11,227 Speaker 3: probably not the right word, but the trash talk pre fight, 1083 00:56:11,307 --> 00:56:13,587 Speaker 3: he's always felt very uncomfortable. And when he does throw 1084 00:56:13,667 --> 00:56:17,187 Speaker 3: something out, you sit up and listen because he clearly 1085 00:56:17,307 --> 00:56:23,267 Speaker 3: means it, clearly does have some belief behind it, because 1086 00:56:23,307 --> 00:56:25,707 Speaker 3: he's never has been the guy that throws around the 1087 00:56:25,787 --> 00:56:29,107 Speaker 3: trash talk that we've so commonly associated with boxing, you know, 1088 00:56:29,187 --> 00:56:31,347 Speaker 3: through the likes of you know, through the years, it 1089 00:56:31,467 --> 00:56:34,587 Speaker 3: hasn't felt like his game. But one line three, one 1090 00:56:34,667 --> 00:56:36,307 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine two for a 1091 00:56:36,387 --> 00:56:37,907 Speaker 3: text message Lyle. 1092 00:56:38,947 --> 00:56:42,387 Speaker 12: You're God when watching boxing since the Thriller in Manila, 1093 00:56:42,667 --> 00:56:45,427 Speaker 12: to give you an idea of the age. That's things. 1094 00:56:46,227 --> 00:56:48,467 Speaker 12: Unlike a couple of corners said back earlier, it was 1095 00:56:48,547 --> 00:56:51,867 Speaker 12: pulled up way too early. Watching it on replay, a 1096 00:56:51,947 --> 00:56:54,867 Speaker 12: lot of them shots were just glancing blows. Having said that, 1097 00:56:55,467 --> 00:56:59,267 Speaker 12: Parker didn't help himself because he wasn't throwing anything back, 1098 00:56:59,707 --> 00:57:02,747 Speaker 12: I'd say that's why the referee had pulled it up. 1099 00:57:03,387 --> 00:57:07,227 Speaker 12: Otherwise it was a fix on. But the biggest problem 1100 00:57:07,387 --> 00:57:10,267 Speaker 12: park has now got right. The bloke that he fought. 1101 00:57:10,987 --> 00:57:14,507 Speaker 12: He was losing every round in the previous fights against 1102 00:57:14,547 --> 00:57:17,707 Speaker 12: one of our Australian fighters, Justin Hooney, and he knocked 1103 00:57:17,747 --> 00:57:19,547 Speaker 12: him out in the last round. He got it done. Now, 1104 00:57:19,627 --> 00:57:23,987 Speaker 12: Honey's several ranks below Parker. Right, the guy at Yardley, 1105 00:57:24,107 --> 00:57:26,427 Speaker 12: he fought the fight of his life today in good 1106 00:57:26,507 --> 00:57:29,027 Speaker 12: luck to him. Now he is where the real problem 1107 00:57:29,187 --> 00:57:32,867 Speaker 12: is for our poor old Parker. Right, it's all about 1108 00:57:33,067 --> 00:57:37,907 Speaker 12: markability and fighting. This guy had eighteen wins prior to 1109 00:57:37,907 --> 00:57:41,787 Speaker 12: today's right and four he had no amateur career, and 1110 00:57:41,907 --> 00:57:44,947 Speaker 12: four of them were against corporate fighters before he just 1111 00:57:45,107 --> 00:57:48,587 Speaker 12: started to set on the real So unless this Yardley 1112 00:57:48,787 --> 00:57:51,547 Speaker 12: comes out and knocks Oosik out, which I can't see 1113 00:57:51,587 --> 00:57:53,667 Speaker 12: happening at all, I think it could be way too good. 1114 00:57:54,707 --> 00:57:57,427 Speaker 12: You've got Parker, whether he got robbed today or not, 1115 00:57:58,187 --> 00:58:00,867 Speaker 12: You lost to a bloke that there's only really fourteen 1116 00:58:00,947 --> 00:58:05,827 Speaker 12: professional fights, I'd say, yeah, it's probably the end. 1117 00:58:05,747 --> 00:58:06,827 Speaker 22: Of the road, Joseph. 1118 00:58:07,267 --> 00:58:09,867 Speaker 12: As for the trash talk, he doesn't normally do it, 1119 00:58:09,947 --> 00:58:12,907 Speaker 12: as you said. I did hear him being quite cocky 1120 00:58:12,987 --> 00:58:16,267 Speaker 12: on the radio the other day, And with all due 1121 00:58:16,307 --> 00:58:19,747 Speaker 12: respect to Parker, I think Parker and his camp may 1122 00:58:19,787 --> 00:58:22,147 Speaker 12: have taken this floke way too lightly. Of course I'll 1123 00:58:22,187 --> 00:58:25,107 Speaker 12: never admit to that, but I think that you're probably 1124 00:58:25,187 --> 00:58:27,747 Speaker 12: looking past the fight. He should have had it done 1125 00:58:27,787 --> 00:58:31,027 Speaker 12: in six rounds. He had him wobbling a couple of times, 1126 00:58:31,107 --> 00:58:33,507 Speaker 12: but he just couldn't go on with it. And Parker, yeah, 1127 00:58:33,947 --> 00:58:36,387 Speaker 12: he's a skillful fighter, but he just hasn't really got 1128 00:58:36,427 --> 00:58:37,947 Speaker 12: the knockout power of a tour. 1129 00:58:38,627 --> 00:58:42,587 Speaker 3: Well, look at you're right boxing trades and those KOs, 1130 00:58:42,667 --> 00:58:44,587 Speaker 3: and it feels like Parker, as you say, is a 1131 00:58:44,627 --> 00:58:47,187 Speaker 3: good technical fighter, but he's never been able to get 1132 00:58:47,267 --> 00:58:50,187 Speaker 3: those ko's on a regular basis against the top fighters 1133 00:58:50,547 --> 00:58:51,027 Speaker 3: in the world. 1134 00:58:53,067 --> 00:58:56,267 Speaker 12: He's had a lovely career the five kids. I think 1135 00:58:56,307 --> 00:58:58,307 Speaker 12: he would have probably been a bit smarter than David 1136 00:58:58,387 --> 00:59:01,867 Speaker 12: two with this money. They disrespected David, but it probably 1137 00:59:01,947 --> 00:59:04,427 Speaker 12: a time maybe take the last fight for a payday 1138 00:59:04,467 --> 00:59:08,387 Speaker 12: and then hang up the gloves. You know, unless, of course, 1139 00:59:08,467 --> 00:59:11,787 Speaker 12: this Yardley guy goes on and isis USA curly, then 1140 00:59:11,867 --> 00:59:13,867 Speaker 12: I might say, hey, park is not too bad. He 1141 00:59:14,267 --> 00:59:16,947 Speaker 12: eventually went the distance, but there's a lot of real 1142 00:59:17,067 --> 00:59:22,707 Speaker 12: submotion there so and Boxy being the murky world it is. Yeah, 1143 00:59:22,867 --> 00:59:25,667 Speaker 12: it's unfortunate, but never mind. 1144 00:59:26,347 --> 00:59:28,987 Speaker 3: Appreciate the call Isle in your analysis of that fight. 1145 00:59:29,027 --> 00:59:30,987 Speaker 3: Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two ninety 1146 00:59:30,987 --> 00:59:33,547 Speaker 3: two for a text message, Joseph Parker, where does he 1147 00:59:33,707 --> 00:59:36,787 Speaker 3: go to from here? After his defeat to Fabia Wardley 1148 00:59:37,467 --> 00:59:41,307 Speaker 3: this morning? Hi, Steve, Hey doing He's good? 1149 00:59:41,347 --> 00:59:46,867 Speaker 16: After the Elliott Elliott absolutely devastated for Joseph Parker. I 1150 00:59:47,387 --> 00:59:50,267 Speaker 16: thought it would stop way too earlier. I looked at 1151 00:59:50,307 --> 00:59:54,227 Speaker 16: those last two punches. You know that that left hook 1152 00:59:55,587 --> 00:59:58,667 Speaker 16: Parker rolled it, and then that's straight right. It glumped 1153 00:59:58,667 --> 01:00:00,827 Speaker 16: off the side of his head after grunting off the 1154 01:00:00,987 --> 01:00:03,467 Speaker 16: gloves and then the rest stopped at I'm thinking, what 1155 01:00:03,587 --> 01:00:05,987 Speaker 16: are you doing? But look, here's the here's the problem 1156 01:00:06,627 --> 01:00:09,707 Speaker 16: on the school board. There's nothing you can do about it. 1157 01:00:10,187 --> 01:00:15,507 Speaker 16: And uh look that. Yeah, where does Parker go from here? 1158 01:00:15,667 --> 01:00:19,987 Speaker 16: You know, like that was has ever really was and 1159 01:00:21,307 --> 01:00:23,467 Speaker 16: it's going to be a long road if the even 1160 01:00:23,587 --> 01:00:27,147 Speaker 16: is THEO. But in saying all of that, you know, 1161 01:00:27,427 --> 01:00:31,627 Speaker 16: Woodley Man, he might just do it if if Usak 1162 01:00:31,747 --> 01:00:34,387 Speaker 16: fights him and he goes on to do the same 1163 01:00:34,507 --> 01:00:38,827 Speaker 16: thing that he just finished doing in his last two fights, 1164 01:00:38,907 --> 01:00:43,947 Speaker 16: he could literally be the one to beat Usak, who 1165 01:00:44,107 --> 01:00:46,667 Speaker 16: knows that the Lusik fights them, and it might be 1166 01:00:46,747 --> 01:00:48,907 Speaker 16: one of those things he has to. He has toy now, 1167 01:00:48,987 --> 01:00:53,507 Speaker 16: otherwise he'll be stripped of the WBO. So he devastated 1168 01:00:53,587 --> 01:00:54,187 Speaker 16: for park of that. 1169 01:00:54,427 --> 01:00:56,827 Speaker 25: Oh hey, one last thing. The reason why he doesn't 1170 01:00:56,907 --> 01:00:59,187 Speaker 25: trash talk is because of who he is is, because 1171 01:00:59,187 --> 01:01:02,187 Speaker 25: of the status, like he's a chief that can sound 1172 01:01:02,227 --> 01:01:07,747 Speaker 25: more and he's I think he's a bishop chi and 1173 01:01:07,867 --> 01:01:10,587 Speaker 25: that's why he doesn't. It's because of his mother. You know, 1174 01:01:10,747 --> 01:01:14,547 Speaker 25: he can't talk like a child. You just got too 1175 01:01:14,667 --> 01:01:16,987 Speaker 25: much woman respects and prestige. 1176 01:01:17,027 --> 01:01:17,427 Speaker 12: He has to. 1177 01:01:17,507 --> 01:01:20,227 Speaker 3: Represent you know, not absolutely, Steve. Nice to hear from 1178 01:01:20,267 --> 01:01:21,907 Speaker 3: you this afternoon. I think it's a very very good point. 1179 01:01:22,027 --> 01:01:25,107 Speaker 3: It's never sat comfortably, has it. And the trash talk 1180 01:01:25,227 --> 01:01:27,987 Speaker 3: is well boxing has traded on for so many years. 1181 01:01:28,107 --> 01:01:30,947 Speaker 3: That sells the pay per views, it gets the interest, 1182 01:01:31,027 --> 01:01:34,387 Speaker 3: and we know that Joseph Parker hasn't been able to 1183 01:01:34,427 --> 01:01:37,627 Speaker 3: get those big fights probably because he hasn't been able 1184 01:01:37,667 --> 01:01:39,187 Speaker 3: to do the trash talk. And that's the kind of 1185 01:01:39,227 --> 01:01:42,067 Speaker 3: person that he is. He's a lovely guy. Spoken to 1186 01:01:42,147 --> 01:01:46,027 Speaker 3: him a couple of times throughout my broadcasting career and 1187 01:01:46,307 --> 01:01:50,547 Speaker 3: covering various events. Lovely guy, you know, it's kind of 1188 01:01:50,587 --> 01:01:52,187 Speaker 3: guy that you you wouldn't think would hurt a fly 1189 01:01:52,347 --> 01:01:54,467 Speaker 3: doesn't talk like that. And then in the ring he's 1190 01:01:54,467 --> 01:01:58,627 Speaker 3: obviously got the ability to fight very very well, but 1191 01:01:58,747 --> 01:02:02,307 Speaker 3: the promotional side has never really sat that well with him. 1192 01:02:02,387 --> 01:02:05,707 Speaker 3: Nice to talk to you this afternoon, Steve. A couple 1193 01:02:05,707 --> 01:02:07,627 Speaker 3: of text in on two nine two. Stop it with 1194 01:02:07,667 --> 01:02:10,907 Speaker 3: the excuses you're trying to make up a storyline he lost. 1195 01:02:12,427 --> 01:02:14,547 Speaker 3: Roy says, Joe's too soon on and New Zealander to 1196 01:02:14,587 --> 01:02:16,667 Speaker 3: do the trash talk. He wouldn't have liked that. I Reckon, 1197 01:02:16,747 --> 01:02:20,987 Speaker 3: says Roy, who also says at least he wents eleven rounds. 1198 01:02:22,147 --> 01:02:24,067 Speaker 3: I readA the Parker match. He was the book's favorite, 1199 01:02:24,227 --> 01:02:27,867 Speaker 3: which means there was a beating scandal involved. Boxing has 1200 01:02:27,947 --> 01:02:32,267 Speaker 3: never been an honest sport. We'll see it might be 1201 01:02:32,347 --> 01:02:34,867 Speaker 3: his best hope now Parker to hitch his wagon, so 1202 01:02:35,027 --> 01:02:37,667 Speaker 3: to speak to the Fabio Wardley train, and hope that 1203 01:02:37,747 --> 01:02:41,147 Speaker 3: Wardley does well against Uzik. And therefore this morning's defeat 1204 01:02:41,267 --> 01:02:45,867 Speaker 3: doesn't look that bad. But hard to see Usik being 1205 01:02:45,907 --> 01:02:49,827 Speaker 3: too troubled unless Wardley does improve. Maybe he's got it 1206 01:02:50,027 --> 01:02:51,627 Speaker 3: m to go with eleven rounds and then catch them 1207 01:02:52,107 --> 01:02:55,387 Speaker 3: right at the very end. Perhaps that's the game plan 1208 01:02:55,547 --> 01:02:59,507 Speaker 3: for the fight against Usik. Henry says this Parker has 1209 01:02:59,587 --> 01:03:02,267 Speaker 3: no power in his past his best, he just can't 1210 01:03:02,347 --> 01:03:06,267 Speaker 3: punch people out. And Jason with this one, is there 1211 01:03:06,387 --> 01:03:08,627 Speaker 3: any young heavyweights coming up in the ranks in New Zealand? 1212 01:03:08,667 --> 01:03:13,187 Speaker 3: Who is the next Joe Parker? Don't know. Not hearing 1213 01:03:13,227 --> 01:03:18,027 Speaker 3: a lot of names coming through. I'm not sure if 1214 01:03:18,027 --> 01:03:21,227 Speaker 3: there's anyone coming up through the ranks, because if they have, 1215 01:03:21,427 --> 01:03:24,267 Speaker 3: they haven't been able to register so many results that 1216 01:03:24,307 --> 01:03:28,267 Speaker 3: have taken the attention at least of casual observers like myself, 1217 01:03:29,747 --> 01:03:31,387 Speaker 3: So I might have a few names to throt us 1218 01:03:31,427 --> 01:03:33,627 Speaker 3: on nine two nine two that are up and coming 1219 01:03:33,747 --> 01:03:35,547 Speaker 3: around the ranks. So it's twenty eight and a half 1220 01:03:35,907 --> 01:03:39,147 Speaker 3: after one on news Talk ZEBB. We'll take you to 1221 01:03:39,347 --> 01:03:41,827 Speaker 3: bay Oval.

So what did 1234 01:04:21,147 --> 01:04:23,987 Speaker 3: you get out of that series despite all the rain. 1235 01:04:24,707 --> 01:04:27,707 Speaker 26: Yeah, because that's part of the international scene, you sort 1236 01:04:27,747 --> 01:04:29,747 Speaker 26: of get to move on pretty quickly, you know, when 1237 01:04:29,827 --> 01:04:34,227 Speaker 26: all loose.

I always evolving and 1249 01:05:07,947 --> 01:05:08,427 Speaker 27: we've got. 1250 01:05:08,267 --> 01:05:12,667 Speaker 26: A couple of opportunities to sort of explore that. Albeit 1251 01:05:12,947 --> 01:05:13,947 Speaker 26: there was a couple of runners. 1252 01:05:14,547 --> 01:05:18,067 Speaker 3: One day is now the focus so obviously, Rob, Yeah, 1253 01:05:18,307 --> 01:05:20,667 Speaker 3: it's a format that has been squeezed. I guess in 1254 01:05:20,707 --> 01:05:23,747 Speaker 3: the international schedules, as the black Caps coach, what importance 1255 01:05:23,787 --> 01:05:25,147 Speaker 3: do you place on one day cricket? 1256 01:05:27,227 --> 01:05:30,307 Speaker 26: You know, any game for the black Caps is hugely important, 1257 01:05:31,307 --> 01:05:34,627 Speaker 26: So any international you know holds us weight for sure. 1258 01:05:35,547 --> 01:05:38,107 Speaker 26: You know, one day cricket is you know, part of 1259 01:05:38,147 --> 01:05:40,827 Speaker 26: a sort of a cycle that builds up to a 1260 01:05:40,947 --> 01:05:43,307 Speaker 26: one day We'll Cup in twenty twenty seven the latter 1261 01:05:43,387 --> 01:05:45,707 Speaker 26: parts of the year, so you know, for us, it's 1262 01:05:45,787 --> 01:05:49,587 Speaker 26: a format really that we've played very well and you know, 1263 01:05:49,787 --> 01:05:52,747 Speaker 26: a Champions Trophy final not too long ago and some 1264 01:05:52,867 --> 01:05:56,547 Speaker 26: success against Pakistan.

You know, 1316 01:08:11,987 --> 01:08:14,707 Speaker 3: they've obviously had some success in the format, but maybe 1317 01:08:14,747 --> 01:08:17,587 Speaker 3: fifty over wise they aren't as strong as they have 1318 01:08:17,787 --> 01:08:19,867 Speaker 3: been previously. So so what do you expect from England 1319 01:08:19,907 --> 01:08:20,747 Speaker 3: over these three games? 1320 01:08:22,267 --> 01:08:24,707 Speaker 26: I look there again, a very attacking one day unit, 1321 01:08:25,827 --> 01:08:28,347 Speaker 26: you know they so you kind of know what you're 1322 01:08:28,347 --> 01:08:29,947 Speaker 26: going to get from them.

I've got you know, 1324 01:08:31,947 --> 01:08:34,067 Speaker 26: a lot of all rounders that give them great balance 1325 01:08:34,107 --> 01:08:37,667 Speaker 26: in their team. So from that point of view, expecting 1326 01:08:37,707 --> 01:08:41,987 Speaker 26: a really tough series and a tough arting and looking 1327 01:08:42,067 --> 01:08:44,347 Speaker 26: forward to because you know, these are the type of 1328 01:08:44,467 --> 01:08:46,427 Speaker 26: series that you know, really stretch you as a team 1329 01:08:46,467 --> 01:08:48,667 Speaker 26: and going to give you good insight as to the 1330 01:08:48,787 --> 01:08:51,587 Speaker 26: areas that you are doing well in certain the areas 1331 01:08:51,587 --> 01:08:53,627 Speaker 26: that need to get evolved and improved on. 1332 01:08:53,867 --> 01:08:56,227 Speaker 3: What's your mindset around the style of one day cricket? 1333 01:08:56,307 --> 01:08:58,547 Speaker 3: Is there any changes that are needed from the black Caps? 1334 01:08:58,547 --> 01:09:02,947 Speaker 3: Obviously a Champions Trophy final earlier as well? Is it 1335 01:09:03,667 --> 01:09:05,667 Speaker 3: Are they on the right track with with now you 1336 01:09:05,787 --> 01:09:07,867 Speaker 3: at the helm, you can see where they're going to 1337 01:09:07,947 --> 01:09:09,187 Speaker 3: in the one day format of the game. 1338 01:09:11,387 --> 01:09:13,147 Speaker 26: I mean, yeah, as you said, I mean they're a 1339 01:09:13,267 --> 01:09:17,107 Speaker 26: very successful one day outfit. So it's really not for 1340 01:09:17,227 --> 01:09:19,307 Speaker 26: me to step in and try and change a huge 1341 01:09:19,307 --> 01:09:21,747 Speaker 26: amount of, you know, of the way that we do 1342 01:09:21,947 --> 01:09:25,347 Speaker 26: play because it has been successful.

There we go done. 1437 01:14:13,427 --> 01:14:17,067 Speaker 22: Yes, Yeah, it was nice and we witnessed the suffocation, 1438 01:14:17,307 --> 01:14:20,027 Speaker 22: that's what it was. You know, Canterbury spwards and their 1439 01:14:20,107 --> 01:14:23,387 Speaker 22: defense were impressive and actually the few times they threw 1440 01:14:23,427 --> 01:14:26,187 Speaker 22: it through the ball wide at work, So you can't 1441 01:14:26,227 --> 01:14:29,267 Speaker 22: fault it really in terms of winning finals. That region 1442 01:14:29,427 --> 01:14:32,547 Speaker 22: know exactly what they're doing and they stuck to their knitting. Really, 1443 01:14:32,987 --> 01:14:36,507 Speaker 22: even though it was a sunny day, they assessed the 1444 01:14:36,587 --> 01:14:40,547 Speaker 22: conditions and that win. The Otago team should have made 1445 01:14:40,627 --> 01:14:42,667 Speaker 22: more of it, but in the middle of the first half, 1446 01:14:42,987 --> 01:14:46,667 Speaker 22: I think Otaga had thirty phases and didn't go anywhere 1447 01:14:46,867 --> 01:14:51,267 Speaker 22: and that was pivotal because they couldn't amassed enough points 1448 01:14:51,307 --> 01:14:53,867 Speaker 22: with that win. And even Thomas Umonger Jetson who gave 1449 01:14:53,907 --> 01:14:55,987 Speaker 22: a beautiful interview at the end of the game to 1450 01:14:56,427 --> 01:15:00,227 Speaker 22: Taylor Johnson on Sky whereas in tears, but basically giving 1451 01:15:00,307 --> 01:15:03,827 Speaker 22: that exact analysis, which is they were just shut out 1452 01:15:03,867 --> 01:15:05,187 Speaker 22: of the game at a critical. 1453 01:15:04,907 --> 01:15:06,027 Speaker 2: Time they weren't. 1454 01:15:06,507 --> 01:15:08,467 Speaker 3: I just love the occasion though, the noise from the 1455 01:15:08,507 --> 01:15:10,747 Speaker 3: Otago fans that had made their way up. It was 1456 01:15:10,827 --> 01:15:13,547 Speaker 3: four o'clock, the weather played ball apart from a little 1457 01:15:13,587 --> 01:15:16,147 Speaker 3: bit of wind as well. It just made you love 1458 01:15:16,227 --> 01:15:17,747 Speaker 3: the NBC and what it stands for. 1459 01:15:18,707 --> 01:15:20,387 Speaker 22: Yeah, that it was just so nice wasn't it just 1460 01:15:20,467 --> 01:15:25,107 Speaker 22: seeing that festival atmosphere that I mean, look, let's talk 1461 01:15:25,147 --> 01:15:28,667 Speaker 22: about it now. The Larry the Lamb winning the mascot race. 1462 01:15:28,827 --> 01:15:31,867 Speaker 22: There needs to be an investigation. Get Jeff Tuvy on 1463 01:15:31,987 --> 01:15:35,147 Speaker 22: it because he was a rapid and I have it 1464 01:15:35,227 --> 01:15:37,547 Speaker 22: on good authority that he's actually a spreader. I thought 1465 01:15:37,587 --> 01:15:40,827 Speaker 22: it might be Tim Welton, you know New Zealand's fastest man, 1466 01:15:41,427 --> 01:15:45,467 Speaker 22: underneath the Larry's mask, but it was it was a 1467 01:15:45,547 --> 01:15:48,667 Speaker 22: sprinter who plays in the local under eighty five's competition. 1468 01:15:48,867 --> 01:15:50,667 Speaker 12: So look for this. 1469 01:15:50,987 --> 01:15:52,507 Speaker 22: We haven't heard the end of this and I'm hoping 1470 01:15:52,587 --> 01:15:55,187 Speaker 22: that New Stalks at be that you've got your best 1471 01:15:55,267 --> 01:15:58,547 Speaker 22: journalist on this, because that was If anyone saw that 1472 01:15:58,667 --> 01:16:01,427 Speaker 22: mascot race, he won it in a cant just. 1473 01:16:01,427 --> 01:16:05,947 Speaker 3: Another title for Canterbury. I've got Tony small On, who's 1474 01:16:05,947 --> 01:16:08,227 Speaker 3: the Cannabi Rugby Union chief executive, so I'll put that 1475 01:16:08,347 --> 01:16:10,147 Speaker 3: to him after two o'clock and see if we can 1476 01:16:10,187 --> 01:16:12,707 Speaker 3: get to the bottom of that, because boy, he showed 1477 01:16:12,787 --> 01:16:13,147 Speaker 3: some toe. 1478 01:16:14,147 --> 01:16:15,587 Speaker 2: Maybe before we. 1479 01:16:15,627 --> 01:16:17,867 Speaker 22: Move on for rugby, I just wanted to say Dylan Pleager, 1480 01:16:17,947 --> 01:16:20,707 Speaker 22: who is the young up and coming halfback. I felt 1481 01:16:20,707 --> 01:16:22,307 Speaker 22: for him, because he sort of did all his core 1482 01:16:22,427 --> 01:16:26,147 Speaker 22: roles really well for Otago, but he probably just didn't 1483 01:16:26,187 --> 01:16:28,667 Speaker 22: run enough, and that is it's a bit like having 1484 01:16:28,787 --> 01:16:32,067 Speaker 22: someone with that with the acceleration of Ree Walsh and 1485 01:16:32,147 --> 01:16:34,947 Speaker 22: not seeing them really chance their arm. And it's tough 1486 01:16:34,987 --> 01:16:37,747 Speaker 22: for him, but one of those games where he'll learn 1487 01:16:37,787 --> 01:16:40,827 Speaker 22: a lot from that, so you know. And also Chafe 1488 01:16:40,987 --> 01:16:43,827 Speaker 22: Hackey come on six foot four runs like the wind 1489 01:16:43,947 --> 01:16:45,987 Speaker 22: kicks goals. He needs to work out whether he wants 1490 01:16:46,027 --> 01:16:48,867 Speaker 22: to sit behind the All Blacks or make himself available 1491 01:16:48,907 --> 01:16:53,707 Speaker 22: for Fiji or Tonga because he has Test match potential. 1492 01:16:53,427 --> 01:16:53,867 Speaker 2: He does it. 1493 01:16:54,147 --> 01:16:56,467 Speaker 3: I like the high potential in the way that rugby's 1494 01:16:56,507 --> 01:16:58,587 Speaker 3: going at the moment in Test rugby. Speaking of All 1495 01:16:58,667 --> 01:17:01,147 Speaker 3: Blacks and Ireland in Chicago this time next week or 1496 01:17:01,227 --> 01:17:04,467 Speaker 3: nine o'clock next week, what are you expecting out of that? 1497 01:17:04,507 --> 01:17:06,907 Speaker 3: You've been to Chicago before, Yeah. 1498 01:17:06,707 --> 01:17:08,307 Speaker 22: So I'm expecting you and I will have a beer, 1499 01:17:08,387 --> 01:17:10,507 Speaker 22: maybe go to a comedy club or something Elliott. But 1500 01:17:10,707 --> 01:17:13,947 Speaker 22: I also think that Ireland are hoping for an ambush, 1501 01:17:14,027 --> 01:17:17,547 Speaker 22: but their plans have been thwarted somewhat. Big Lock. Joe 1502 01:17:17,627 --> 01:17:23,667 Speaker 22: McCarthy is out. Mackanson the very versatile winger Australian is 1503 01:17:23,747 --> 01:17:26,907 Speaker 22: out as well. Bundy k and Robbie hensch Or are doubtful. 1504 01:17:27,027 --> 01:17:30,467 Speaker 22: So this is the issue for them is coming over 1505 01:17:30,507 --> 01:17:33,067 Speaker 22: a sort of mid season really, so they all Blacks 1506 01:17:33,347 --> 01:17:35,907 Speaker 22: in a really good position and I think the team 1507 01:17:36,427 --> 01:17:39,507 Speaker 22: that played in Perth should get a start. Maybe Caleb 1508 01:17:39,587 --> 01:17:42,027 Speaker 22: Clark comes back for finding a nukoup just because of that. 1509 01:17:42,547 --> 01:17:45,947 Speaker 22: You know the constant aerial threat of Test rugby. But 1510 01:17:46,547 --> 01:17:48,827 Speaker 22: how are you feeling about that as well? Elliott? 1511 01:17:48,987 --> 01:17:51,027 Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think I'd roll out the 1512 01:17:51,067 --> 01:17:53,587 Speaker 3: same team again. I don't see too many reasons to 1513 01:17:53,947 --> 01:17:57,147 Speaker 3: change necessarily the obviously two Pivi's gone for the season 1514 01:17:57,267 --> 01:17:59,827 Speaker 3: to Logs who's not there, So maybe there's a tweak 1515 01:17:59,867 --> 01:18:01,347 Speaker 3: that needs to be made to the bench. Do you 1516 01:18:01,427 --> 01:18:03,907 Speaker 3: look at a Dowry potentially off the bench or a 1517 01:18:04,347 --> 01:18:08,107 Speaker 3: female to cover lock six? Be interesting? But I think 1518 01:18:08,267 --> 01:18:10,787 Speaker 3: what they struck on there, especially at midfield, is what 1519 01:18:10,907 --> 01:18:13,227 Speaker 3: I'd go for for this tester. I like the Barrett 1520 01:18:13,267 --> 01:18:15,787 Speaker 3: too pie A combination. I think it's worthy of sticking 1521 01:18:15,827 --> 01:18:16,787 Speaker 3: with for a few more tests. 1522 01:18:17,387 --> 01:18:19,827 Speaker 22: Yes, I think so too. And look at the all Blacks. 1523 01:18:20,347 --> 01:18:23,427 Speaker 22: The issue for them is that they haven't mastered the 1524 01:18:23,627 --> 01:18:25,547 Speaker 22: art of taking the referee out of the game, so 1525 01:18:25,747 --> 01:18:28,107 Speaker 22: that they need to sort of I guess work on 1526 01:18:28,187 --> 01:18:31,907 Speaker 22: that was a game management playing style. They've got Jason 1527 01:18:31,987 --> 01:18:35,267 Speaker 22: Holland who's pretty much announced that he's leaving, So where 1528 01:18:35,267 --> 01:18:38,067 Speaker 22: does that leave the players in terms of their attack strategy? 1529 01:18:39,027 --> 01:18:41,227 Speaker 22: Does he still have control over that? So there are 1530 01:18:41,267 --> 01:18:44,027 Speaker 22: a few intriguing points to look at. And of course 1531 01:18:44,067 --> 01:18:47,787 Speaker 22: in Chicago in November it can be ice cold, and 1532 01:18:47,907 --> 01:18:48,987 Speaker 22: what's called of than being cool? 1533 01:18:49,027 --> 01:18:53,627 Speaker 3: Elliott ice cold? To quote my man Andre three thousand 1534 01:18:53,827 --> 01:18:58,147 Speaker 3: and finally, James International Rugby League, it has been hectic. 1535 01:18:58,427 --> 01:19:01,267 Speaker 3: Tongusarm Ola today across the ditch is going to be 1536 01:19:01,307 --> 01:19:03,227 Speaker 3: absolutely huge from what I'm. 1537 01:19:03,147 --> 01:19:06,547 Speaker 22: Hearingily out here in West Aukland, there are utes going 1538 01:19:06,547 --> 01:19:08,627 Speaker 22: around with the biggest tongue and flags I've ever seen, 1539 01:19:09,187 --> 01:19:11,827 Speaker 22: and I'll send you a photo if I can get 1540 01:19:11,907 --> 01:19:16,267 Speaker 22: close to them. It's already reached fever pitch here. So 1541 01:19:16,387 --> 01:19:20,907 Speaker 22: I hope that sun Corp is absolutely heaving. The International 1542 01:19:21,027 --> 01:19:22,947 Speaker 22: Rugby League is alive and well, and you can tell 1543 01:19:23,067 --> 01:19:25,827 Speaker 22: that league needs to keep on moving to new territories. 1544 01:19:25,827 --> 01:19:28,307 Speaker 22: And I look at rugby and rugby so lucky. It's 1545 01:19:28,347 --> 01:19:30,947 Speaker 22: got Argentina and it's got France. He's just a bit 1546 01:19:30,947 --> 01:19:34,027 Speaker 22: of variety. So league really they need to go and say, 1547 01:19:34,307 --> 01:19:38,027 Speaker 22: you've got Argentina, will take Brazil. You've got France. We're 1548 01:19:38,067 --> 01:19:41,587 Speaker 22: going to Germany. You've got Japan, how about China. It's 1549 01:19:41,667 --> 01:19:45,307 Speaker 22: time for that sport to expand because I love International League, 1550 01:19:45,707 --> 01:19:47,387 Speaker 22: proper tests and long mate. 1551 01:19:47,307 --> 01:19:50,827 Speaker 3: Last, absolutely and just finally in time for a quick word. 1552 01:19:50,907 --> 01:19:54,147 Speaker 3: The NBA has shown both sides of it this week, 1553 01:19:54,227 --> 01:19:56,547 Speaker 3: the good, the bad, and perhaps the ugly as well. 1554 01:19:57,347 --> 01:20:01,747 Speaker 22: Yeah, it's right. The match fixing is a real talking point. 1555 01:20:01,867 --> 01:20:05,067 Speaker 22: And when they show some highlights low lights of Terry 1556 01:20:05,187 --> 01:20:07,707 Speaker 22: Rosie just passing the ball away, I think he's going 1557 01:20:07,787 --> 01:20:13,147 Speaker 22: to struggle to avoid jail time. Chauncey Billups, he's the 1558 01:20:13,187 --> 01:20:15,987 Speaker 22: coach of my favorite team, the Portland Trailblazers. He was 1559 01:20:16,027 --> 01:20:19,027 Speaker 22: always making some questionable cause. His main thing though, is 1560 01:20:19,107 --> 01:20:23,107 Speaker 22: that it's an illegal gambling sort of rigged poker matches 1561 01:20:23,147 --> 01:20:27,747 Speaker 22: run by the mafia that he's been alluring in rich punters, 1562 01:20:27,907 --> 01:20:31,707 Speaker 22: and so I mean, yeah, he's on massively thin ice, 1563 01:20:31,827 --> 01:20:35,387 Speaker 22: but it does expose the fact that basketball is probably 1564 01:20:35,427 --> 01:20:37,707 Speaker 22: one of the easier games to rig because I think 1565 01:20:37,747 --> 01:20:40,747 Speaker 22: there's other players, Malik Beasley, these other names that will 1566 01:20:40,787 --> 01:20:43,707 Speaker 22: probably emerge in the media again and will be under 1567 01:20:43,787 --> 01:20:47,027 Speaker 22: the spotlight. But on the highlight side, go and have 1568 01:20:47,067 --> 01:20:49,667 Speaker 22: a look at Victor Wembin Yama Wemby. He's grown and 1569 01:20:49,747 --> 01:20:51,947 Speaker 22: then I think he's seven foot three. Now he's seven 1570 01:20:52,027 --> 01:20:55,347 Speaker 22: foot four and he got nine blocks yesterday in a game, 1571 01:20:55,627 --> 01:20:57,987 Speaker 22: and there's just an absolute freak. So there's some pretty 1572 01:20:58,027 --> 01:21:00,067 Speaker 22: cool stuff happening on court as well. 1573 01:21:00,267 --> 01:21:02,307 Speaker 3: Have you seen the movie The Sting James from the 1574 01:21:02,347 --> 01:21:05,987 Speaker 3: nineteen seventies, Because the X ray glasses or the X 1575 01:21:06,067 --> 01:21:08,787 Speaker 3: ray that they're using under the table the stud they 1576 01:21:08,867 --> 01:21:11,547 Speaker 3: just get someone fake drunk on gin and pretend they're 1577 01:21:11,587 --> 01:21:13,547 Speaker 3: drunk while they're playing poker. That was what they did 1578 01:21:13,627 --> 01:21:14,107 Speaker 3: back in the day. 1579 01:21:15,267 --> 01:21:15,467 Speaker 28: I know. 1580 01:21:15,627 --> 01:21:18,667 Speaker 22: Now there's there's all this technology and it's a bit. 1581 01:21:18,787 --> 01:21:23,187 Speaker 22: It's pretty shameful stuff, isn't it Like, And anyone who 1582 01:21:23,267 --> 01:21:26,907 Speaker 22: cheats like that, and any match fixing is just abhurrent, 1583 01:21:27,027 --> 01:21:29,907 Speaker 22: and especially if you've got if you're painting on it, Elliott, 1584 01:21:29,987 --> 01:21:33,667 Speaker 22: it could be very frustrating. But they were and they 1585 01:21:34,747 --> 01:21:37,307 Speaker 22: had a short term gain and now they're feeling the pain. 1586 01:21:37,267 --> 01:21:39,827 Speaker 3: They are indeed, James mcconey, appreciate your time. Look forward 1587 01:21:39,827 --> 01:21:41,147 Speaker 3: to seeing you in Chicago next week. 1588 01:21:42,067 --> 01:21:45,147 Speaker 22: Cheers Elliott.

So it's up to us as 1749 01:30:59,067 --> 01:31:02,827 Speaker 30: leaders in our game to make sure we keep that alive. 1750 01:31:03,267 --> 01:31:04,387 Speaker 11: What was the magic bullet? 1751 01:31:04,467 --> 01:31:04,747 Speaker 19: You just? 1752 01:31:04,947 --> 01:31:05,427 Speaker 10: I think. 1753 01:31:06,827 --> 01:31:11,387 Speaker 30: What can we What our organization has prided itself on 1754 01:31:11,467 --> 01:31:13,707 Speaker 30: this year is trying to connect back to those fans 1755 01:31:13,827 --> 01:31:15,707 Speaker 30: to make sure that we're at the part of the game. 1756 01:31:16,347 --> 01:31:19,747 Speaker 30: And yeah, it's just an awesome occasion yesterday. 1757 01:31:20,107 --> 01:31:22,547 Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking to Itiger as well, they talked about connection. 1758 01:31:22,587 --> 01:31:24,307 Speaker 3: Do you feel that maybe it's been lost over the 1759 01:31:24,387 --> 01:31:27,107 Speaker 3: last few years and now it's important to restore that 1760 01:31:27,267 --> 01:31:28,107 Speaker 3: that local connection. 1761 01:31:28,907 --> 01:31:32,107 Speaker 30: I think the break off COVID definitely put it into 1762 01:31:32,187 --> 01:31:36,467 Speaker 30: that and it is if you've watched the NBC for 1763 01:31:36,547 --> 01:31:38,427 Speaker 30: the last couple of years, all of the unions have 1764 01:31:38,587 --> 01:31:41,067 Speaker 30: made it a focus of trying to connect, making sure 1765 01:31:41,147 --> 01:31:45,227 Speaker 30: that connection is strong. So it has It's not by accident. 1766 01:31:45,307 --> 01:31:48,507 Speaker 30: It's been deliberate and we've just got to keep doing it. 1767 01:31:48,987 --> 01:31:50,747 Speaker 3: You would have seen Tom Christy up close for it 1768 01:31:50,787 --> 01:31:52,507 Speaker 3: for a number of years. Now what does he mean 1769 01:31:52,547 --> 01:31:54,907 Speaker 3: to Canterbury And look he put in a heck of 1770 01:31:54,987 --> 01:31:57,547 Speaker 3: a performance again yesterday and that final and his last 1771 01:31:57,627 --> 01:31:59,467 Speaker 3: game for the side before he heads up to the 1772 01:31:59,507 --> 01:32:00,227 Speaker 3: Northern Hemisphere. 1773 01:32:01,387 --> 01:32:03,067 Speaker 11: Yeah, like pretty special for Tom. 1774 01:32:03,227 --> 01:32:05,947 Speaker 30: We started off with Cullen as our captain who only 1775 01:32:06,027 --> 01:32:11,267 Speaker 30: last one game I think maybe two, maybe even only one. 1776 01:32:11,427 --> 01:32:16,187 Speaker 30: But Tom stepped up and when he said about his 1777 01:32:16,547 --> 01:32:19,267 Speaker 30: journey for this season, it was so important and you 1778 01:32:19,347 --> 01:32:22,867 Speaker 30: could tell to him just giving back to Canterbury and 1779 01:32:22,987 --> 01:32:25,707 Speaker 30: then with it being there last season at that stadium, 1780 01:32:25,987 --> 01:32:29,947 Speaker 30: it just meant everything to him personally and he watch 1781 01:32:30,027 --> 01:32:33,507 Speaker 30: his performances over the whole season being absolutely outstanding and 1782 01:32:33,587 --> 01:32:34,227 Speaker 30: a great leader. 1783 01:32:34,827 --> 01:32:38,267 Speaker 11: The boys love it and I couldn't ask for more 1784 01:32:38,307 --> 01:32:38,587 Speaker 11: from the. 1785 01:32:38,587 --> 01:32:42,027 Speaker 3: Man mentioned that stadium obviously a temporary one, but for 1786 01:32:42,307 --> 01:32:45,387 Speaker 3: players like Tom Christy and you know most of all 1787 01:32:45,507 --> 01:32:49,587 Speaker 3: this generation really it's all the Nolan Apollo Projects stadium. 1788 01:32:49,667 --> 01:32:52,947 Speaker 3: So how important was it to sign off with a 1789 01:32:53,067 --> 01:32:53,747 Speaker 3: victory like that? 1790 01:32:54,827 --> 01:32:57,827 Speaker 30: Well, the yes, most of those players have only played 1791 01:32:57,827 --> 01:33:00,027 Speaker 30: at that stadium, so they know nothing different. 1792 01:33:00,067 --> 01:33:01,187 Speaker 11: For Canterbury. 1793 01:33:02,827 --> 01:33:06,467 Speaker 30: We set out in theme and the organization's theme that 1794 01:33:06,587 --> 01:33:09,227 Speaker 30: this year was all about signing off at Apollo as 1795 01:33:09,267 --> 01:33:11,947 Speaker 30: we head to one New Zealand stadium. So it became 1796 01:33:12,027 --> 01:33:15,027 Speaker 30: a key part of the whole campaign and for ourselves 1797 01:33:15,067 --> 01:33:18,507 Speaker 30: as an organization it served us well. But boy, we 1798 01:33:18,587 --> 01:33:20,667 Speaker 30: are looking forward to what the new one will bring. 1799 01:33:20,787 --> 01:33:22,387 Speaker 3: I was going to say, will will you miss it? 1800 01:33:22,507 --> 01:33:24,707 Speaker 3: Or you quite content to be heading to that new 1801 01:33:24,747 --> 01:33:26,947 Speaker 3: stadium which every time I'm in christ Church looks like 1802 01:33:27,027 --> 01:33:29,187 Speaker 3: it's coming along very very nicely. 1803 01:33:29,987 --> 01:33:32,307 Speaker 30: Yeah, it has been in a couple of times to 1804 01:33:32,347 --> 01:33:35,227 Speaker 30: have a lock and it's looking magnificent. But I can't 1805 01:33:35,747 --> 01:33:39,507 Speaker 30: underestimate how good that stadium has been, particularly for NPC. 1806 01:33:40,427 --> 01:33:43,867 Speaker 30: The fact of if you remember Lancaster Park, it was. 1807 01:33:44,587 --> 01:33:46,587 Speaker 30: It was one of the old round stadiums who played 1808 01:33:46,587 --> 01:33:52,147 Speaker 30: cricket in it. This is a rectangular stadium. The team 1809 01:33:52,267 --> 01:33:55,187 Speaker 30: is up close to our closest fans and they both 1810 01:33:55,227 --> 01:33:58,027 Speaker 30: sides love it. The fans like being close to the 1811 01:33:58,107 --> 01:34:00,547 Speaker 30: action and the players love being close to the to 1812 01:34:00,667 --> 01:34:02,747 Speaker 30: the fans. So it's actually served us really well. And 1813 01:34:03,227 --> 01:34:05,107 Speaker 30: if you look at the design of the new stadium, 1814 01:34:05,187 --> 01:34:09,387 Speaker 30: it's it's for rugby and football and all the other 1815 01:34:10,187 --> 01:34:11,267 Speaker 30: rectangular codes. 1816 01:34:11,667 --> 01:34:13,587 Speaker 11: There will be no cricket in it, so it's going 1817 01:34:13,627 --> 01:34:14,427 Speaker 11: to be magnificent. 1818 01:34:14,667 --> 01:34:17,467 Speaker 3: How will you approach that new stadium as an MPC side, 1819 01:34:17,467 --> 01:34:21,627 Speaker 3: because it is bigger than a polyprojects stadium, the more capacity, 1820 01:34:22,107 --> 01:34:24,787 Speaker 3: how do you approach that? I guess given the challenges 1821 01:34:24,787 --> 01:34:27,067 Speaker 3: around getting in PC crowds, although used today was a 1822 01:34:27,147 --> 01:34:29,347 Speaker 3: fantastic crowd obviously, have you thought about how you might 1823 01:34:29,347 --> 01:34:29,787 Speaker 3: approach that. 1824 01:34:30,467 --> 01:34:32,947 Speaker 30: You know, we definitely have and we talked about it 1825 01:34:33,027 --> 01:34:34,627 Speaker 30: at the game with all the people who are there. 1826 01:34:34,987 --> 01:34:40,427 Speaker 30: We will have an accessible, an accessible entry point into 1827 01:34:40,507 --> 01:34:43,987 Speaker 30: that stadium and our plan is to encourage and join 1828 01:34:44,107 --> 01:34:46,907 Speaker 30: as much of the community as we can so that. 1829 01:34:47,027 --> 01:34:50,627 Speaker 11: Absolutely we know it's sitting there and it's coming at us. 1830 01:34:50,707 --> 01:34:53,547 Speaker 30: It is bigger, but we have a deliberate pain to 1831 01:34:53,667 --> 01:34:55,947 Speaker 30: make sure that anyone who wants to come to this 1832 01:34:56,147 --> 01:34:59,387 Speaker 30: stadium and be a part of that action will encourage it. 1833 01:34:59,947 --> 01:35:03,067 Speaker 3: Marty Burke's final game is Canterbury coach as well before 1834 01:35:03,107 --> 01:35:06,147 Speaker 3: he takes on other challenges. What's he been able to 1835 01:35:06,227 --> 01:35:09,187 Speaker 3: do with this very young team? And you know MPC 1836 01:35:09,467 --> 01:35:12,267 Speaker 3: is often in your players come in and change every year, 1837 01:35:12,427 --> 01:35:15,627 Speaker 3: you have to change and remold the team. How important 1838 01:35:15,667 --> 01:35:19,387 Speaker 3: has he been in connecting these players together? 1839 01:35:20,387 --> 01:35:23,547 Speaker 30: Yeah, Marty, Marty and his wife Kate just been magnificent 1840 01:35:24,147 --> 01:35:26,427 Speaker 30: supporters of the game, is what I would say. 1841 01:35:28,267 --> 01:35:28,747 Speaker 11: Marty has. 1842 01:35:28,907 --> 01:35:31,747 Speaker 30: Mardy shares similar views to myself. The game is about 1843 01:35:31,867 --> 01:35:35,547 Speaker 30: our community and making sure we build that connection to it. 1844 01:35:36,067 --> 01:35:39,507 Speaker 11: So it was quite a perfect alignment. But he has 1845 01:35:39,547 --> 01:35:41,147 Speaker 11: spent his time in the community game. 1846 01:35:41,187 --> 01:35:44,347 Speaker 30: He's out there with the club coaches, making himself visible 1847 01:35:44,787 --> 01:35:47,827 Speaker 30: and that's that's pretty important in the job that I 1848 01:35:47,987 --> 01:35:50,667 Speaker 30: need to do, which has encouraged people into the game. 1849 01:35:50,827 --> 01:35:52,507 Speaker 11: We need to be can be. 1850 01:35:52,587 --> 01:35:55,427 Speaker 30: Rugby needs to be seen out there and so Marty's 1851 01:35:55,427 --> 01:35:58,587 Speaker 30: brought that not only to the rugby community but also 1852 01:35:58,667 --> 01:35:59,307 Speaker 30: to the fans. 1853 01:35:59,867 --> 01:36:01,467 Speaker 11: So just been magnificent. 1854 01:36:01,907 --> 01:36:04,307 Speaker 3: How will you go about replacing him for twenty twenty 1855 01:36:04,347 --> 01:36:06,467 Speaker 3: six and beyond it. 1856 01:36:06,587 --> 01:36:08,267 Speaker 11: We're undertaking the reviews. 1857 01:36:08,307 --> 01:36:10,747 Speaker 30: They'll start next week and then we will be formerly 1858 01:36:11,347 --> 01:36:15,187 Speaker 30: out in the market seeking applications. 1859 01:36:14,547 --> 01:36:15,187 Speaker 11: For a head coach. 1860 01:36:15,947 --> 01:36:19,107 Speaker 3: Tony Smail Canniby CEO with us.

Is 1873 01:36:53,987 --> 01:36:57,547 Speaker 3: that possibly to be truthful? 1874 01:36:57,667 --> 01:37:01,267 Speaker 30: I actually don't know who it was.

Think it was Tiarn Welpdon, 1881 01:37:18,667 --> 01:37:20,707 Speaker 3: the New Zealand sprinter in that suit. If you did 1882 01:37:20,787 --> 01:37:24,387 Speaker 3: see the mascot race yesterday, Basically Larry the Lamb, the 1883 01:37:24,467 --> 01:37:28,587 Speaker 3: Canterbury mascot, is about ten meters behind early on and 1884 01:37:28,707 --> 01:37:31,627 Speaker 3: then just surges to the front and wins it with 1885 01:37:31,827 --> 01:37:34,547 Speaker 3: about no one within thirty meters of them. Maybe a 1886 01:37:34,587 --> 01:37:38,747 Speaker 3: little bit more could be t r Weldon. If it 1887 01:37:38,907 --> 01:37:42,987 Speaker 3: was Tirn, we saw what a if of that is. 1888 01:37:43,027 --> 01:37:45,227 Speaker 3: But I'm not sure they should be substituting next year. 1889 01:37:45,227 --> 01:37:47,467 Speaker 3: We're gonna have someone's gonna try and get Usain Bolt down, 1890 01:37:47,507 --> 01:37:52,387 Speaker 3: aren't they. Next year one of the big unions might 1891 01:37:52,467 --> 01:37:55,027 Speaker 3: be Auckland, maybe North Harbor. There'll be a way they 1892 01:37:55,067 --> 01:37:57,867 Speaker 3: could get a win. Just get Usain Bolt into the 1893 01:37:58,627 --> 01:38:02,827 Speaker 3: mascot for the mascot race. Good fun. Nonetheless, let's go 1894 01:38:02,867 --> 01:38:06,787 Speaker 3: to the lines afternoon. Graham good a here he is, 1895 01:38:06,907 --> 01:38:08,627 Speaker 3: I'm good. We talked to you today.

And I think Tom Christie, 1904 01:38:37,507 --> 01:38:41,387 Speaker 32: not single handedly, but he certainly played a huge role 1905 01:38:41,427 --> 01:38:44,027 Speaker 32: in getting us over the line. And so pleased. I'm 1906 01:38:44,107 --> 01:38:47,267 Speaker 32: and Marty Burke and we say, Zach Gallagher he's heading 1907 01:38:47,307 --> 01:38:50,587 Speaker 32: the overs with France. He's played a great season and 1908 01:38:50,707 --> 01:38:56,147 Speaker 32: Manassa Matli possibly too, He's played some of his best rugby. 1909 01:38:56,307 --> 01:38:59,827 Speaker 32: So I'm just really delighted he got the win. Elliott, yep, yeah, 1910 01:38:59,867 --> 01:39:01,827 Speaker 32: I think a tough opposition. 1911 01:39:02,107 --> 01:39:07,347 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, Look and you mentioned Zach Dellagher. I'm disappointed 1912 01:39:07,387 --> 01:39:09,587 Speaker 3: he's going because I think moving to Blindside it was 1913 01:39:09,667 --> 01:39:12,067 Speaker 3: by accident with all the injuries, but it's been kind 1914 01:39:12,067 --> 01:39:12,867 Speaker 3: of the making of him. 1915 01:39:13,987 --> 01:39:16,947 Speaker 32: Well, yeah, I sort of came by accident and Dominic 1916 01:39:17,027 --> 01:39:19,187 Speaker 32: Gardner then when he came back went to number eight, 1917 01:39:19,267 --> 01:39:21,987 Speaker 32: and I think he's flourished and that with us and 1918 01:39:22,107 --> 01:39:25,947 Speaker 32: told you so. Yeah, it's a real shame because I 1919 01:39:25,987 --> 01:39:28,707 Speaker 32: think Zach played I think some of his besh rugby 1920 01:39:28,827 --> 01:39:31,987 Speaker 32: played very well before for Canterbury and at times with 1921 01:39:32,027 --> 01:39:35,387 Speaker 32: the Crusaders and the Hurricanes earlier this year. But yeah, 1922 01:39:35,387 --> 01:39:38,307 Speaker 32: I think it was his best season. And hope he 1923 01:39:38,427 --> 01:39:41,427 Speaker 32: comes back to the only young man and and he's 1924 01:39:41,427 --> 01:39:41,987 Speaker 32: playing great. 1925 01:39:42,147 --> 01:39:44,627 Speaker 3: Yeah, he certainly is.

Otago played as to 1930 01:39:57,427 --> 01:39:59,987 Speaker 3: have all seasons, tack early lead but couldn't take advantage 1931 01:40:00,307 --> 01:40:02,707 Speaker 3: of a thirteen to fifteen point in Northwestern against the 1932 01:40:02,747 --> 01:40:05,027 Speaker 3: Canterbury team who played as they have all season and 1933 01:40:05,147 --> 01:40:08,747 Speaker 3: defended resolutely.

The boys never gave up and we 1984 01:42:36,347 --> 01:42:38,907 Speaker 10: fought back some tonal and then got a decent result. 1985 01:42:39,267 --> 01:42:42,227 Speaker 3: How pleased were you with that character to earn a 1986 01:42:42,307 --> 01:42:44,467 Speaker 3: point last week, as you say, turnle down to get 1987 01:42:44,827 --> 01:42:45,667 Speaker 3: a too two drawl? 1988 01:42:47,427 --> 01:42:47,547 Speaker 11: Oh? 1989 01:42:47,627 --> 01:42:50,707 Speaker 10: Look, extremely happy. Anyone who's done that trip knows how 1990 01:42:50,747 --> 01:42:52,947 Speaker 10: difficult it is, and you know they're a good team. 1991 01:42:53,427 --> 01:42:57,027 Speaker 10: Obviously there's time difference, but look, we didn't worry about 1992 01:42:57,027 --> 01:42:59,107 Speaker 10: those things that we couldn't control. We worried about ourselves 1993 01:42:59,147 --> 01:43:01,667 Speaker 10: and like I said, really really happy and I'm really 1994 01:43:01,707 --> 01:43:03,467 Speaker 10: proud of the team with the way we fought back 1995 01:43:03,507 --> 01:43:05,027 Speaker 10: and got back into the game. 1996 01:43:05,467 --> 01:43:07,907 Speaker 3: As captain of this team, has obviously been some changes, 1997 01:43:07,987 --> 01:43:10,547 Speaker 3: as there are after grevery a league season, but changes, 1998 01:43:11,067 --> 01:43:13,667 Speaker 3: you know, imports, players coming in from different cultures. How 1999 01:43:13,747 --> 01:43:15,467 Speaker 3: much leadership do you have to show at the start 2000 01:43:15,507 --> 01:43:18,467 Speaker 3: of each season to get these players and assimilate them 2001 01:43:18,507 --> 01:43:19,987 Speaker 3: into the Phoenix environment. 2002 01:43:21,787 --> 01:43:24,147 Speaker 10: Oh, look, we've got a very welcoming environment. 2003 01:43:24,267 --> 01:43:24,387 Speaker 3: You know. 2004 01:43:24,507 --> 01:43:26,347 Speaker 10: Obviously when they come in, you sit them down, you 2005 01:43:26,747 --> 01:43:28,787 Speaker 10: talk to them, You need to know them a little bit, 2006 01:43:29,467 --> 01:43:32,347 Speaker 10: and obviously throughout pre season you learn about them more 2007 01:43:32,427 --> 01:43:34,547 Speaker 10: and you you know, start to build connections and then 2008 01:43:34,987 --> 01:43:37,347 Speaker 10: from there it's just about showing them every day and 2009 01:43:37,867 --> 01:43:40,627 Speaker 10: making sure they feel comfortable to express themselves on and 2010 01:43:40,707 --> 01:43:41,187 Speaker 10: off the field. 2011 01:43:41,747 --> 01:43:44,227 Speaker 3: And obviously got some some quality imports. We saw that 2012 01:43:44,387 --> 01:43:47,067 Speaker 3: last week. That felt like they slotted them pretty quickly 2013 01:43:47,107 --> 01:43:47,627 Speaker 3: into the team. 2014 01:43:49,267 --> 01:43:51,147 Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly. Look, that's what you want. You want your 2015 01:43:51,427 --> 01:43:54,467 Speaker 10: especially your foreign players to settle quickly and perform well. 2016 01:43:54,547 --> 01:43:57,347 Speaker 10: And all of them did that, you know, also the 2017 01:43:57,827 --> 01:44:00,227 Speaker 10: all the Kiwi players as well, and all the new 2018 01:44:00,267 --> 01:44:02,907 Speaker 10: Ozzie imports as well, they've got have come in. Everyone 2019 01:44:02,987 --> 01:44:05,667 Speaker 10: settled nicely and everyone you know, showed what they're are, 2020 01:44:05,907 --> 01:44:06,267 Speaker 10: what they can. 2021 01:44:06,787 --> 01:44:09,147 Speaker 3: What do you expect from the rule this afternoon? 2022 01:44:11,227 --> 01:44:14,347 Speaker 10: Oh look, that'll be very very aggressive. We've seen that 2023 01:44:14,427 --> 01:44:17,147 Speaker 10: they're a good team. The coach is also a good 2024 01:44:17,227 --> 01:44:19,427 Speaker 10: coach from Europe, so he's got them playing in an 2025 01:44:19,427 --> 01:44:21,507 Speaker 10: aggressive way. So we need to make sure we match 2026 01:44:21,587 --> 01:44:23,147 Speaker 10: that and then play our game. 2027 01:44:23,667 --> 01:44:25,787 Speaker 3: Do you get the sense that you know this this 2028 01:44:25,947 --> 01:44:28,507 Speaker 3: competition looks pretty even. I know we're only one and 2029 01:44:28,547 --> 01:44:31,267 Speaker 3: a bit runs through, but it feels like it's a 2030 01:44:31,347 --> 01:44:32,867 Speaker 3: pretty even competition this year. 2031 01:44:34,867 --> 01:44:36,667 Speaker 10: Yeah, it looks like you said it. It is early 2032 01:44:37,027 --> 01:44:40,667 Speaker 10: in the in the season to start obviously making comparisons 2033 01:44:40,867 --> 01:44:43,227 Speaker 10: and looking at other teams. But I do think it's 2034 01:44:43,267 --> 01:44:45,827 Speaker 10: going to be close. And I think after you know, 2035 01:44:46,347 --> 01:44:48,307 Speaker 10: first four to six games, you kind of start to 2036 01:44:48,347 --> 01:44:49,347 Speaker 10: see a. 2037 01:44:49,347 --> 01:44:49,907 Speaker 12: Little bit more. 2038 01:44:50,027 --> 01:44:51,907 Speaker 10: But at the moment, look, it looks very, very tight, 2039 01:44:52,027 --> 01:44:54,507 Speaker 10: and it's it's close and looks like it's going to 2040 01:44:54,547 --> 01:44:56,587 Speaker 10: be a tough, tough season for every team. 2041 01:44:56,947 --> 01:44:58,667 Speaker 3: We saw the team play last week with a pretty 2042 01:44:58,707 --> 01:45:01,627 Speaker 3: high defensive line. How much of a mindset change has 2043 01:45:01,707 --> 01:45:04,787 Speaker 3: that been through the preseason and last week getting used 2044 01:45:04,787 --> 01:45:05,347 Speaker 3: to that style? 2045 01:45:07,307 --> 01:45:09,307 Speaker 10: Yeah, Look, we worked on a little pre season. I 2046 01:45:09,347 --> 01:45:11,387 Speaker 10: wouldn't say it's a mindset change. I'd just say it's 2047 01:45:11,427 --> 01:45:13,107 Speaker 10: more of a tactical change. I think, you know, the 2048 01:45:13,147 --> 01:45:15,627 Speaker 10: players have adapted well to it, and you know, now 2049 01:45:15,627 --> 01:45:18,347 Speaker 10: our mindset is we need to make sure that we 2050 01:45:19,067 --> 01:45:21,387 Speaker 10: do it well, we train well during the week, and 2051 01:45:21,507 --> 01:45:24,347 Speaker 10: make sure that we we're smart enough to know when 2052 01:45:24,427 --> 01:45:24,827 Speaker 10: to do it and. 2053 01:45:24,827 --> 01:45:25,427 Speaker 12: When not to do it. 2054 01:45:26,307 --> 01:45:28,787 Speaker 10: But look, it was really positive. It did cause us 2055 01:45:28,827 --> 01:45:31,227 Speaker 10: problems at the start of the game. I think there's 2056 01:45:31,267 --> 01:45:33,667 Speaker 10: a few teething issues that you know, first game, it's 2057 01:45:33,707 --> 01:45:35,787 Speaker 10: obviously a little bit of pressure, and it took us 2058 01:45:35,827 --> 01:45:37,427 Speaker 10: time to adapt, but once we did, I thought it 2059 01:45:37,547 --> 01:45:37,787 Speaker 10: was good. 2060 01:45:38,187 --> 01:45:40,747 Speaker 3: How much does that take confidence that it is the 2061 01:45:40,867 --> 01:45:42,947 Speaker 3: right style and I guess patients that it is going 2062 01:45:43,027 --> 01:45:45,867 Speaker 3: to work and be the style that is going to 2063 01:45:45,907 --> 01:45:47,147 Speaker 3: deliver results of this team. 2064 01:45:49,107 --> 01:45:50,867 Speaker 10: Well, look, we have to believe in every player. Does 2065 01:45:51,347 --> 01:45:53,027 Speaker 10: we believe in the coach, We believe in each other, 2066 01:45:53,107 --> 01:45:56,307 Speaker 10: and that's the most important thing. These things do take time. 2067 01:45:57,387 --> 01:46:01,547 Speaker 10: It's not something that you can you know, perfect overnight 2068 01:46:01,827 --> 01:46:04,467 Speaker 10: per se. But look, like I said, we believe in 2069 01:46:04,507 --> 01:46:06,387 Speaker 10: the system, we believe in each other. We believe and 2070 01:46:06,467 --> 01:46:08,627 Speaker 10: the coach and the staff, and you know, we're in 2071 01:46:08,667 --> 01:46:10,747 Speaker 10: a positive heading, in a positive direction. 2072 01:46:10,947 --> 01:46:14,627 Speaker 3: And maintaining position comes with its rewards as well. It 2073 01:46:14,707 --> 01:46:17,867 Speaker 3: can frustrate the opposition. I think last week he had 2074 01:46:17,867 --> 01:46:20,907 Speaker 3: seventy percent position, So you know, it does have obviously 2075 01:46:21,147 --> 01:46:23,867 Speaker 3: benefits in terms of just you know, creating a little 2076 01:46:23,867 --> 01:46:26,267 Speaker 3: bit of frustrating for the team that's having to play 2077 01:46:26,347 --> 01:46:26,787 Speaker 3: up against it. 2078 01:46:28,507 --> 01:46:31,547 Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly. Look, we dominated the game, you know, with 2079 01:46:31,667 --> 01:46:34,067 Speaker 10: the ball, obviously, but I think the funny thing is 2080 01:46:34,147 --> 01:46:35,987 Speaker 10: is that the first half we actually weren't that great 2081 01:46:35,987 --> 01:46:38,347 Speaker 10: with the ball, so there's still areas to improve, and 2082 01:46:38,467 --> 01:46:41,267 Speaker 10: I think once we really find out and figure out 2083 01:46:41,507 --> 01:46:43,627 Speaker 10: you know, where to hurt teams will be much more 2084 01:46:43,947 --> 01:46:45,747 Speaker 10: effective and create more chances. 2085 01:46:45,987 --> 01:46:48,747 Speaker 3: And once your message finally, Alex ru to the Phoenix 2086 01:46:48,827 --> 01:46:51,467 Speaker 3: fans and the capital is they obviously had a frustrating 2087 01:46:51,547 --> 01:46:54,227 Speaker 3: season last year as we touched on before, but to 2088 01:46:54,347 --> 01:46:56,907 Speaker 3: get them along and buying tickets and seeing you guys 2089 01:46:56,947 --> 01:46:59,587 Speaker 3: in action this afternoon and for your home games over 2090 01:46:59,627 --> 01:47:01,107 Speaker 3: the next few weeks as well, just. 2091 01:47:01,147 --> 01:47:03,467 Speaker 10: To support us like they always as they're extra man. 2092 01:47:04,107 --> 01:47:05,827 Speaker 10: I believe we've got the best fans in the league. 2093 01:47:06,427 --> 01:47:09,147 Speaker 10: You know, the Yellow Fever are an amazing force and 2094 01:47:09,587 --> 01:47:11,787 Speaker 10: like I said, when they're there in full force, loud 2095 01:47:11,867 --> 01:47:14,267 Speaker 10: and proud and makes all the difference for us. So 2096 01:47:15,307 --> 01:47:17,707 Speaker 10: get behind the lads, you know, be as loud as 2097 01:47:17,747 --> 01:47:20,187 Speaker 10: possible and enjoy the game.

Mine's feeling good. 2121 01:48:32,707 --> 01:48:35,907 Speaker 6: So yeah, ready to kick into it in about three 2122 01:48:35,947 --> 01:48:37,147 Speaker 6: weeks when we get off to Europe. 2123 01:48:37,347 --> 01:48:39,907 Speaker 3: Can you believe that it's already been three in a 2124 01:48:39,947 --> 01:48:42,707 Speaker 3: bit years since that golden twenty twenty two. 2125 01:48:43,547 --> 01:48:46,267 Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely goes fast, you know, it goes by 2126 01:48:46,347 --> 01:48:51,347 Speaker 6: in a flash. Risk you know, it's pretty crazy, but yeah, 2127 01:48:51,387 --> 01:48:54,147 Speaker 6: they come around quick, and yeah, like I said, we're 2128 01:48:54,147 --> 01:48:57,667 Speaker 6: ready to go again and feeling in a good position, 2129 01:48:58,147 --> 01:48:59,907 Speaker 6: feeling confident that gold medal. 2130 01:49:00,187 --> 01:49:01,907 Speaker 3: Do you go back and watch it? I know you've 2131 01:49:01,947 --> 01:49:04,227 Speaker 3: sort of described it as one of the best runs 2132 01:49:04,507 --> 01:49:06,827 Speaker 3: of your life. Do you go back often and watch 2133 01:49:06,907 --> 01:49:08,707 Speaker 3: that means Downhill, Gold Middle. 2134 01:49:09,787 --> 01:49:11,867 Speaker 6: Yeah, to be honest, I do, actually like every once 2135 01:49:11,867 --> 01:49:13,507 Speaker 6: in a while, I'll flick back and watch it, and 2136 01:49:13,587 --> 01:49:15,947 Speaker 6: it kind of almost gives myself a little bit of, 2137 01:49:16,427 --> 01:49:21,107 Speaker 6: you know, extra motivation and inspiration. You had to kind 2138 01:49:21,107 --> 01:49:23,307 Speaker 6: of push forward and hopefully we can do it again. 2139 01:49:23,427 --> 01:49:25,587 Speaker 6: It's obviously not going to be an easy feat. The 2140 01:49:25,667 --> 01:49:27,947 Speaker 6: competition seems to get better and better every year. So 2141 01:49:29,147 --> 01:49:31,267 Speaker 6: we'll just go out there and I'll do my best 2142 01:49:31,347 --> 01:49:33,107 Speaker 6: and hopefully try and replicate it. 2143 01:49:33,347 --> 01:49:36,947 Speaker 3: What went so right that day to create that run 2144 01:49:37,027 --> 01:49:37,467 Speaker 3: of your life? 2145 01:49:37,467 --> 01:49:41,227 Speaker 6: As you said, I think you know what they're talking 2146 01:49:41,227 --> 01:49:43,747 Speaker 6: about with that flow state, you know, like athletes and 2147 01:49:43,827 --> 01:49:44,947 Speaker 6: not get into that flow state. 2148 01:49:45,027 --> 01:49:46,147 Speaker 22: It kind of felt like that for me. 2149 01:49:47,347 --> 01:49:49,907 Speaker 6: It just really felt like everything slowed down and I 2150 01:49:49,987 --> 01:49:53,587 Speaker 6: was just in the zone, just tunnel vision. Every turn 2151 01:49:53,787 --> 01:49:57,467 Speaker 6: was felt perfect, and it just felt like I had 2152 01:49:57,507 --> 01:50:00,027 Speaker 6: a lot of time to react, even though you know 2153 01:50:00,107 --> 01:50:01,387 Speaker 6: you're going to one hundred odd. 2154 01:50:01,347 --> 01:50:04,067 Speaker 3: K and now, and you backed it up the next 2155 01:50:04,147 --> 01:50:07,027 Speaker 3: day with the silver and the super g as well 2156 01:50:07,067 --> 01:50:08,947 Speaker 3: as it was it hard to back up the next 2157 01:50:09,027 --> 01:50:09,827 Speaker 3: day after that gold. 2158 01:50:11,267 --> 01:50:13,227 Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess you've got a lot of adrenaline going right, 2159 01:50:13,307 --> 01:50:15,907 Speaker 6: and even until the next day it's still there. You're 2160 01:50:15,907 --> 01:50:19,707 Speaker 6: still on a high. So I guess confidence just breeds 2161 01:50:19,867 --> 01:50:23,307 Speaker 6: more confidence in a way coming off of gold. You 2162 01:50:23,467 --> 01:50:25,187 Speaker 6: just you know, it's kind of what we trained for. 2163 01:50:25,307 --> 01:50:28,747 Speaker 6: You just come back the next day and do it again. Yeah, 2164 01:50:28,747 --> 01:50:30,947 Speaker 6: it was sort of pipped up the post. I guess 2165 01:50:30,987 --> 01:50:32,907 Speaker 6: by half a second. Would have been nice to get 2166 01:50:32,947 --> 01:50:35,387 Speaker 6: the double gold, but you know that's all history now 2167 01:50:35,467 --> 01:50:38,347 Speaker 6: and we move forward and try and do it again, 2168 01:50:38,387 --> 01:50:39,427 Speaker 6: this time with two golds. 2169 01:50:40,387 --> 01:50:40,587 Speaker 10: Yeah. 2170 01:50:40,627 --> 01:50:44,267 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Fingers crossed. How tricky is the build up being 2171 01:50:44,307 --> 01:50:45,907 Speaker 3: this time? I know you just look at it your 2172 01:50:45,907 --> 01:50:48,427 Speaker 3: shoulder a couple of years back. How much did that, 2173 01:50:49,827 --> 01:50:53,027 Speaker 3: I guess derail or change your plans as you build 2174 01:50:53,067 --> 01:50:54,467 Speaker 3: into this premier event. 2175 01:50:55,707 --> 01:50:55,907 Speaker 29: Yeah. 2176 01:50:56,107 --> 01:50:58,867 Speaker 6: So after Beijing, I had the birth of my daughter, 2177 01:50:59,107 --> 01:51:01,587 Speaker 6: so I took that year off actually, and then the 2178 01:51:01,627 --> 01:51:03,707 Speaker 6: following year was, like you said, I had the shoulder 2179 01:51:03,867 --> 01:51:08,587 Speaker 6: dessication and that's the second time that shoulder's been out, 2180 01:51:08,667 --> 01:51:10,947 Speaker 6: So it was that rehab took a lot longer than 2181 01:51:11,387 --> 01:51:15,107 Speaker 6: I expected, probably a good twelve months. And then there 2182 01:51:15,187 --> 01:51:17,267 Speaker 6: was a bit of a I guess psychological element to 2183 01:51:17,347 --> 01:51:21,307 Speaker 6: it as well, coming back. I guess having you know, 2184 01:51:21,427 --> 01:51:24,467 Speaker 6: extra responsibilities at home. Now you know, you start questioning, 2185 01:51:25,067 --> 01:51:27,347 Speaker 6: you know, re injuries and you know, how how much 2186 01:51:27,387 --> 01:51:30,347 Speaker 6: do you want to push? So there was, yeah, that 2187 01:51:30,907 --> 01:51:33,747 Speaker 6: psychological element to it, which you know, I had a 2188 01:51:33,787 --> 01:51:36,387 Speaker 6: little bit of work with the sports I can got 2189 01:51:36,427 --> 01:51:39,827 Speaker 6: back into it with the competition season last Northern Hemisphere, 2190 01:51:40,507 --> 01:51:44,427 Speaker 6: which wasn't my greatest season, but I feel like we've 2191 01:51:44,467 --> 01:51:46,947 Speaker 6: sort of turned the corner nout And yeah, having that 2192 01:51:47,587 --> 01:51:50,707 Speaker 6: camp in Chile this year was a real confidence booster 2193 01:51:50,827 --> 01:51:53,307 Speaker 6: for me, and I feel I've turned the corner and 2194 01:51:54,107 --> 01:51:55,907 Speaker 6: you know, I'm one hundred percent ready to go now, 2195 01:51:56,027 --> 01:51:58,547 Speaker 6: like the shoulders back to normal, it's not really an 2196 01:51:58,547 --> 01:51:59,227 Speaker 6: issue anymore. 2197 01:51:59,627 --> 01:52:02,347 Speaker 3: It's positive. With the moments though that you were thinking 2198 01:52:02,387 --> 01:52:04,987 Speaker 3: about checking it in given the amount of rehab that 2199 01:52:05,667 --> 01:52:07,147 Speaker 3: so you seid to get Yeah, for a year, were 2200 01:52:07,147 --> 01:52:10,027 Speaker 3: at the moments where you thought, maybe, you know, I 2201 01:52:10,107 --> 01:52:12,027 Speaker 3: don't need to come back, I don't want to come back. 2202 01:52:12,987 --> 01:52:15,107 Speaker 6: Oh no, it's always you know, you always want to 2203 01:52:15,627 --> 01:52:17,427 Speaker 6: for me, like it was always there, I was always 2204 01:52:17,427 --> 01:52:21,307 Speaker 6: going to come back. There's no question about you know, quitting. 2205 01:52:22,147 --> 01:52:24,307 Speaker 6: I think it's I've learned. 2206 01:52:24,067 --> 01:52:24,587 Speaker 2: Over the years. 2207 01:52:24,627 --> 01:52:27,827 Speaker 6: You know, you're always going to face adversity. Athletes, you know, 2208 01:52:27,907 --> 01:52:29,827 Speaker 6: always going through injuries and stuff, and it's just a 2209 01:52:29,907 --> 01:52:33,067 Speaker 6: matter of picking yourself back up and you know, working 2210 01:52:33,107 --> 01:52:35,867 Speaker 6: with a medical team and the strength and conditioning coaches 2211 01:52:35,987 --> 01:52:39,747 Speaker 6: to get back to one hundred percent. And that's where 2212 01:52:39,787 --> 01:52:42,187 Speaker 6: we're at now. So yeah, ready to go. 2213 01:52:42,627 --> 01:52:44,627 Speaker 3: You mentioned that you've become a dad obviously in the 2214 01:52:44,707 --> 01:52:47,827 Speaker 3: last couple of years since the last Paralympics as well. 2215 01:52:47,907 --> 01:52:51,507 Speaker 3: Has that changed your perspective on racing and your preparations 2216 01:52:51,547 --> 01:52:52,707 Speaker 3: and training and everything like that. 2217 01:52:54,707 --> 01:52:57,387 Speaker 6: I guess a little bit. And also in a way 2218 01:52:57,427 --> 01:53:00,507 Speaker 6: it's sort of motivating as well. You're not just doing 2219 01:53:00,547 --> 01:53:03,147 Speaker 6: it for yourself anymore. You're doing it for the family 2220 01:53:03,947 --> 01:53:06,627 Speaker 6: and a little young one now, So yeah, gives me 2221 01:53:06,747 --> 01:53:10,947 Speaker 6: inspiration and motivation to keep pushing forward and yeah, just 2222 01:53:11,027 --> 01:53:14,467 Speaker 6: give it my all. Really, But I guess that there 2223 01:53:14,547 --> 01:53:17,067 Speaker 6: is that little bit of element of you know, re 2224 01:53:17,307 --> 01:53:19,467 Speaker 6: injuries and things like that. But I think every athlete 2225 01:53:19,707 --> 01:53:23,387 Speaker 6: you know has has that. But you know, we put 2226 01:53:23,467 --> 01:53:26,307 Speaker 6: on the training, we work on the technique and stuff 2227 01:53:26,347 --> 01:53:30,707 Speaker 6: like that, so hopefully, you know, all that comes into 2228 01:53:30,787 --> 01:53:32,907 Speaker 6: play and it won't happen again. 2229 01:53:33,227 --> 01:53:36,187 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Corey tell me to you talk to me about 2230 01:53:36,227 --> 01:53:39,507 Speaker 3: your set ski. Now, what goes into getting that piece 2231 01:53:39,547 --> 01:53:42,187 Speaker 3: of equipment right? How much sake can you have? What 2232 01:53:42,227 --> 01:53:45,267 Speaker 3: are the regulations?

So that's sort of 2239 01:54:12,667 --> 01:54:14,947 Speaker 6: like a one off, one of a common thing. Nobody 2240 01:54:14,987 --> 01:54:18,787 Speaker 6: else is really doing it and it just helps reduce 2241 01:54:18,827 --> 01:54:20,307 Speaker 6: the drag when I'm coming down the mountain. 2242 01:54:22,027 --> 01:54:22,187 Speaker 11: You know. 2243 01:54:22,227 --> 01:54:24,867 Speaker 6: I guess it's much like a final these sports, we're 2244 01:54:25,067 --> 01:54:28,667 Speaker 6: looking for fractions of a second you know, it all counts. 2245 01:54:28,747 --> 01:54:30,147 Speaker 32: So yeah, it. 2246 01:54:30,227 --> 01:54:33,187 Speaker 6: Hugely grateful for you know, the support that I've had 2247 01:54:33,467 --> 01:54:37,307 Speaker 6: through Cannobi University and the team there that have ensured 2248 01:54:37,347 --> 01:54:39,907 Speaker 6: that I'm pretty much, you know, and one of the 2249 01:54:39,947 --> 01:54:41,747 Speaker 6: best kids six kis in the world. 2250 01:54:42,427 --> 01:54:45,507 Speaker 3: How much has that changed since twenty eleven when you 2251 01:54:45,587 --> 01:54:48,307 Speaker 3: took up the sport. How much is the technology and 2252 01:54:48,427 --> 01:54:50,987 Speaker 3: things that go into a change and what you use 2253 01:54:51,907 --> 01:54:53,227 Speaker 3: since you first picked it up. 2254 01:54:54,747 --> 01:54:58,187 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the sport's hugely progressed. You know, like 2255 01:54:58,427 --> 01:55:01,747 Speaker 6: especially with the technology side of it. There's a lot 2256 01:55:01,827 --> 01:55:04,387 Speaker 6: more science and you know, collecting data and all that 2257 01:55:04,467 --> 01:55:07,467 Speaker 6: sort of thing now going on. Everybody is looking for, 2258 01:55:08,347 --> 01:55:11,107 Speaker 6: you know, those extra little games when you're you know, 2259 01:55:11,187 --> 01:55:15,387 Speaker 6: like I said earlier, losing, you know, getting second by 2260 01:55:15,787 --> 01:55:17,707 Speaker 6: less than half a second or whatever it was. It's 2261 01:55:17,747 --> 01:55:20,307 Speaker 6: you know, everybody's just looking for those extra little fractions 2262 01:55:20,387 --> 01:55:24,547 Speaker 6: of second. And I think you're just with all the 2263 01:55:24,707 --> 01:55:28,667 Speaker 6: technology and you know, the data collection, it's the competitions 2264 01:55:28,707 --> 01:55:30,667 Speaker 6: just got different stuff as the years have gone on. 2265 01:55:31,507 --> 01:55:33,947 Speaker 3: Take me to the top of the mountain. I guess 2266 01:55:33,987 --> 01:55:35,987 Speaker 3: I was watching you go been to run last night 2267 01:55:36,507 --> 01:55:38,307 Speaker 3: as I was preparing to chat to you and what's 2268 01:55:38,387 --> 01:55:40,587 Speaker 3: going through your mind as you prepare to drop in. 2269 01:55:40,827 --> 01:55:42,827 Speaker 3: I guess that's the terminology. I hope it's the terminology 2270 01:55:43,547 --> 01:55:45,947 Speaker 3: for you. You're sitting downhill race like you did at 2271 01:55:45,947 --> 01:55:47,707 Speaker 3: the at the Paralympics in Beijing. 2272 01:55:49,427 --> 01:55:52,667 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think with that that particular event, the downhill, 2273 01:55:53,187 --> 01:55:55,307 Speaker 6: it's the only event that we get to have to 2274 01:55:55,547 --> 01:55:58,867 Speaker 6: training run then just because of the risk and the 2275 01:55:58,987 --> 01:56:02,707 Speaker 6: dangers involved with this higher speed. So that allows you 2276 01:56:02,787 --> 01:56:05,187 Speaker 6: to kind of build, you know, say training run one 2277 01:56:05,627 --> 01:56:09,587 Speaker 6: in two and just continue to keep building till race day. Unfortunately, 2278 01:56:09,627 --> 01:56:12,867 Speaker 6: I crashed in both those training runs, so I didn't 2279 01:56:12,867 --> 01:56:16,827 Speaker 6: actually get to finish the whole course as such. So yeah, 2280 01:56:16,827 --> 01:56:19,187 Speaker 6: there's a little bit of nerves obviously in the stargate, 2281 01:56:20,587 --> 01:56:22,827 Speaker 6: you know, knowing that you hadn't actually finished the whole 2282 01:56:22,907 --> 01:56:26,467 Speaker 6: course or put it all together. But I think, you know, 2283 01:56:26,627 --> 01:56:28,627 Speaker 6: we train all the time like this, Like I said, 2284 01:56:28,667 --> 01:56:31,347 Speaker 6: you kind of once you break that wand and you're 2285 01:56:31,387 --> 01:56:34,067 Speaker 6: on course, it's just like a tunnel vision, you know, 2286 01:56:34,227 --> 01:56:38,547 Speaker 6: like everything else just I guess disappears, you know, and 2287 01:56:38,627 --> 01:56:42,947 Speaker 6: you've just got that one focus and obviously, you know, 2288 01:56:43,107 --> 01:56:44,747 Speaker 6: because of the speed you going, the risk you know, 2289 01:56:45,147 --> 01:56:47,707 Speaker 6: it makes sense to just be in the zone and 2290 01:56:47,787 --> 01:56:52,027 Speaker 6: fully focused. You know, if you laps that concentration, then 2291 01:56:52,627 --> 01:56:53,987 Speaker 6: you know obviously it's not going to end well and 2292 01:56:54,027 --> 01:56:58,187 Speaker 6: you'll probably end up crashing. So yeah, just full concentration, 2293 01:56:58,467 --> 01:57:01,027 Speaker 6: full focus on each gate in front of you. 2294 01:57:01,947 --> 01:57:05,267 Speaker 3: Corey Peters with US New Zealand ski Rice a Paralympian, 2295 01:57:05,347 --> 01:57:07,467 Speaker 3: full time medalist, a couple of final questions. 2296 01:57:07,547 --> 01:57:07,827 Speaker 2: Corey. 2297 01:57:08,427 --> 01:57:11,707 Speaker 3: The Paralympics starts in early March.

He just sort of 2396 02:02:08,267 --> 02:02:11,547 Speaker 28: fitted in straight away into a man's game, a tough 2397 02:02:11,627 --> 02:02:14,507 Speaker 28: man's game. He got this seventeen year old, eighteen year 2398 02:02:14,547 --> 02:02:17,947 Speaker 28: old kid fitting in. And I love the comments too 2399 02:02:18,107 --> 02:02:22,467 Speaker 28: from Mark Shaw Cowboy, who is an absolute legend, and 2400 02:02:22,587 --> 02:02:26,347 Speaker 28: he just said, oh, you know, the boy was outstanding. 2401 02:02:26,787 --> 02:02:27,707 Speaker 2: No one could catch him. 2402 02:02:27,787 --> 02:02:31,147 Speaker 11: He was just, you know, just a standing bastard. 2403 02:02:31,187 --> 02:02:36,147 Speaker 28: I think, make sure said in his own way. So yeah, 2404 02:02:36,147 --> 02:02:39,907 Speaker 28: I think his contemporaries all rated him pretty highly and 2405 02:02:40,707 --> 02:02:43,467 Speaker 28: that shows I guess how good he was. 2406 02:02:44,267 --> 02:02:47,747 Speaker 3: And obviously, as you alluded to before, it didn't all 2407 02:02:47,827 --> 02:02:51,107 Speaker 3: go to plan and unfortunately didn't have perhaps the All 2408 02:02:51,187 --> 02:02:55,107 Speaker 3: Blacks career that he envisaged through injuries. And that's probably 2409 02:02:55,307 --> 02:02:57,707 Speaker 3: also what makes the story so fascinating as well. 2410 02:02:57,947 --> 02:03:00,107 Speaker 28: It's a pretty big what might have been story, Elliott, 2411 02:03:00,187 --> 02:03:02,387 Speaker 28: because it wasn't just he didn't have the All Blacks 2412 02:03:02,427 --> 02:03:04,187 Speaker 28: crew might have been that he might have had. He 2413 02:03:04,227 --> 02:03:06,147 Speaker 28: didn't have the rugby crew he might have had he 2414 02:03:06,507 --> 02:03:08,707 Speaker 28: played that nineteen eighty season. I mentioned all the things 2415 02:03:08,747 --> 02:03:10,907 Speaker 28: he did there nineteen eighty one, there were a few 2416 02:03:10,987 --> 02:03:14,427 Speaker 28: niggling injuries, but he's still at that stage. He's nineteen, 2417 02:03:14,467 --> 02:03:16,307 Speaker 28: he's still good enough. He was an Ill Blacks trial, 2418 02:03:16,707 --> 02:03:18,987 Speaker 28: he was in the Colts again. He played for one 2419 02:03:19,107 --> 02:03:22,067 Speaker 28: or two against the spring Box that controversial tour, so 2420 02:03:22,187 --> 02:03:25,107 Speaker 28: he's still very much up there. And then the start 2421 02:03:25,187 --> 02:03:28,067 Speaker 28: of the nineteen eighty two season, in pre season, i 2422 02:03:28,147 --> 02:03:31,787 Speaker 28: think before his twentieth birthday, had this horrific knee injury 2423 02:03:32,507 --> 02:03:35,387 Speaker 28: similar to the Michael Jones injury of nine eighty nine 2424 02:03:35,947 --> 02:03:42,227 Speaker 28: where he ruptured both major cruciates in his knee and back. 2425 02:03:42,267 --> 02:03:44,867 Speaker 28: Then in nineteen eighty two, they really didn't know how 2426 02:03:44,907 --> 02:03:47,587 Speaker 28: to fix it. Compared to it by the time Michael 2427 02:03:47,667 --> 02:03:50,907 Speaker 28: Jones did it, they obviously had much better technology and 2428 02:03:51,027 --> 02:03:54,987 Speaker 28: they kind of bungled the surgery as well. He had 2429 02:03:55,027 --> 02:03:57,227 Speaker 28: repeated operation of the next three or four years, but 2430 02:03:57,707 --> 02:04:00,427 Speaker 28: just never came right and had to pull the pin. 2431 02:04:00,587 --> 02:04:04,547 Speaker 28: So never really played again. So very big what might 2432 02:04:04,587 --> 02:04:08,747 Speaker 28: have been. Is quite philosophical about it. He's in a 2433 02:04:08,827 --> 02:04:10,947 Speaker 28: ways happy he had, he had the time he did 2434 02:04:11,747 --> 02:04:13,467 Speaker 28: and he got the chance to shine when he did, 2435 02:04:13,587 --> 02:04:17,787 Speaker 28: although I'm sure he wonders what earth and what what 2436 02:04:17,947 --> 02:04:20,107 Speaker 28: he could have done if things had it turned out differently, 2437 02:04:20,267 --> 02:04:22,747 Speaker 28: as a lot of his teammates from back then seemed 2438 02:04:22,747 --> 02:04:23,427 Speaker 28: to wonder as well. 2439 02:04:23,747 --> 02:04:25,947 Speaker 3: Michael Burgess, thank you for your time this afternoon on 2440 02:04:25,987 --> 02:04:27,827 Speaker 3: the story of Craig Wix.
