78
00:04:21,187 --> 00:04:24,187
Speaker 4: game day has got closer and closer, and you know,

79
00:04:24,187 --> 00:04:26,267
Speaker 4: there's a lot a lot of people here from New

80
00:04:26,347 --> 00:04:29,907

81
00:04:29,947 --> 00:04:31,787
Speaker 4: the day, it's been a great week. But we've got

82
00:04:31,787 --> 00:04:33,747
Speaker 4: a job to do. Today, which we're very much looking

83
00:04:33,787 --> 00:04:37,147
Speaker 4: forward to being at the stadium and get those two points.

84
00:04:37,387 --> 00:04:39,507
Speaker 2: What sense do you get from the team and the

85
00:04:39,507 --> 00:04:42,667
Speaker 2: coaching staff ahead of what is a pretty special occasion,

86
00:04:42,707 --> 00:04:45,627
Speaker 2: but what is also, let's face it, a season opener

87
00:04:45,667 --> 00:04:48,267
Speaker 2: for the new twenty twenty five NRL season.

88
00:04:50,107 --> 00:04:55,187
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, the boys are excited, coaches are excited, you know,

89
00:04:55,227 --> 00:04:58,667
Speaker 4: because of the difference in the season opener. You know,

90
00:04:58,747 --> 00:05:02,427
Speaker 4: why wouldn't you be with this opportunity. However, the thing

91
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:04,867
Speaker 4: I've been most impressed about the whole week since we

92
00:05:04,947 --> 00:05:08,747
Speaker 4: arrived last Saturday is you know, the guys have really

93
00:05:09,147 --> 00:05:12,907
Speaker 4: you know, built up the week and grown their focus

94
00:05:12,987 --> 00:05:15,227
Speaker 4: into the job at hand, and they haven't let that,

95
00:05:15,707 --> 00:05:17,387
Speaker 4: you know, that focus get away from them.

96
00:05:17,427 --> 00:05:20,387
Speaker 3: They've been really really good on.

97
00:05:20,347 --> 00:05:24,347
Speaker 4: The park training, they've been very good away from training

98
00:05:24,387 --> 00:05:27,947
Speaker 4: at the hotel and just you know, looking after themselves

99
00:05:27,947 --> 00:05:30,427
Speaker 4: and getting ready for the week. So there's a real

100
00:05:30,507 --> 00:05:33,387
Speaker 4: sense of excitement, but it's not over the top, you know,

101
00:05:33,387 --> 00:05:36,027
Speaker 4: the boys have certainly got their their mind in the game,

102
00:05:36,107 --> 00:05:36,707
Speaker 4: so to speak.

103
00:05:37,107 --> 00:05:39,227
Speaker 2: I remember when you joined me in studio last year, Cam,

104
00:05:39,347 --> 00:05:42,147
Speaker 2: this this hadn't been confirmed. You you didn't know whether

105
00:05:42,187 --> 00:05:44,147
Speaker 2: you were going to Las Vegas or not. Can you

106
00:05:44,187 --> 00:05:46,387
Speaker 2: just remind us how you found out and whether you

107
00:05:46,467 --> 00:05:48,667
Speaker 2: had to pitch for it, how it all played out.

108
00:05:49,827 --> 00:05:52,067
Speaker 3: Yeah, we pitched last year.

109
00:05:52,627 --> 00:05:56,387
Speaker 4: I can't remember the dateline, but it's it's a long process,

110
00:05:56,587 --> 00:05:58,627
Speaker 4: and you know, you've got to they not just let

111
00:05:58,627 --> 00:06:00,587
Speaker 4: anyone come here for the sake of it.

112
00:06:00,587 --> 00:06:02,907
Speaker 3: You've got to add value to the event and you've

113
00:06:02,907 --> 00:06:03,347
Speaker 3: got to be.

114
00:06:03,347 --> 00:06:07,507
Speaker 4: Really keen to buy in and grow the support of

115
00:06:07,547 --> 00:06:10,027
Speaker 4: the game over here. And by that I mean there's

116
00:06:10,027 --> 00:06:14,667
Speaker 4: a lot of media and other activities you'd undertake to

117
00:06:14,667 --> 00:06:16,467
Speaker 4: try and help the NRL brow the sport.

118
00:06:16,587 --> 00:06:18,547
Speaker 3: So you know, we've been busy all week.

119
00:06:18,987 --> 00:06:20,907
Speaker 4: I've been flat out all week doing different things for

120
00:06:20,987 --> 00:06:23,547
Speaker 4: the media and also the NRL and the players have

121
00:06:23,587 --> 00:06:23,987
Speaker 4: as well.

122
00:06:24,027 --> 00:06:28,347
Speaker 3: So you know where where we've where we found out.

123
00:06:28,347 --> 00:06:31,307
Speaker 4: I can't exactly remember the date, but I was pretty

124
00:06:31,307 --> 00:06:32,867
Speaker 4: confident we'd get there at the end of the day

125
00:06:32,867 --> 00:06:36,187
Speaker 4: because of the certainly the fan you know, the fan

126
00:06:36,227 --> 00:06:38,587
Speaker 4: engagement we can bring to the event, which is clearly

127
00:06:39,067 --> 00:06:41,387
Speaker 4: on hand to see if you're floating around Las Vegas.

128
00:06:41,467 --> 00:06:43,307
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I've seen plenty of footage coming back it

129
00:06:43,347 --> 00:06:46,747

130
00:06:46,867 --> 00:06:49,507
Speaker 2: taken over the large parts of the Las Vegas Strip.

131

Speaker 3: Are you?

132
00:06:49,787 --> 00:06:52,387
Speaker 2: Are you mixing and mingling with a few Warriors fans

133
00:06:52,387 --> 00:06:54,107
Speaker 2: and the lead up to this afternoon.

134
00:06:55,867 --> 00:07:01,227
Speaker 4: It's absolutely crazy to see the number of Warriors supporters here.

135
00:07:01,507 --> 00:07:04,347
Speaker 4: I have no doubt, no doubt in my mind that

136
00:07:04,427 --> 00:07:06,667

137
00:07:06,667 --> 00:07:09,667

Speaker 2: call all the best this afternoon. We'll see you back home.

159
00:08:00,427 --> 00:08:00,907
Speaker 3: Can't wait.

160
00:08:00,947 --> 00:08:03,267
Speaker 2: Thanks mate, Now, thank you Cam, Cam George their CEO

161
00:08:03,587 --> 00:08:07,587
Speaker 2: of the Warriors. Let's get inside the the the playing

162
00:08:07,627 --> 00:08:09,747
Speaker 2: group and the coaching staff. Earlier in the week, I

163
00:08:09,747 --> 00:08:14,027
Speaker 2: spoke with Warriors assistant coach Slade Griffin to find out

164
00:08:14,027 --> 00:08:16,027
Speaker 2: first of all of this was his first time in Vegas.

165
00:08:17,427 --> 00:08:20,027
Speaker 5: No, actually I was lucky enough to come here. I

166
00:08:20,147 --> 00:08:23,787
Speaker 5: come with my wife actually about six or seven years ago.

167
00:08:23,787 --> 00:08:25,907
Speaker 5: We only did three nights, so that was plenty enough.

168
00:08:25,907 --> 00:08:27,427
Speaker 5: And here we got in and out.

169
00:08:27,867 --> 00:08:30,867
Speaker 2: Well quite different this time around, obviously with a game

170
00:08:30,907 --> 00:08:33,347
Speaker 2: of rugby league to play. How have you kept the

171
00:08:33,387 --> 00:08:37,347
Speaker 2: players focused with so much going on around them?

172
00:08:38,587 --> 00:08:40,987
Speaker 5: Yeah, so when we got here, we we let the

173
00:08:41,027 --> 00:08:44,387
Speaker 5: boys go out, just let their hair down, kind of

174
00:08:44,387 --> 00:08:46,907
Speaker 5: feel the town. They had a really good night. They

175
00:08:46,947 --> 00:08:48,707
Speaker 5: connected and they all went to the same place and

176
00:08:50,387 --> 00:08:52,627
Speaker 5: the security guards and stuff with them, so it was

177
00:08:52,787 --> 00:08:56,147
Speaker 5: very well done and then we refocused. So the boys

178
00:08:56,147 --> 00:08:58,347
Speaker 5: have trained really hard. We had a couple of really

179
00:08:58,387 --> 00:09:01,107
Speaker 5: good sessions. Just had in a posed session against Wigan

180
00:09:01,187 --> 00:09:05,067
Speaker 5: which is really smooth. And yeah, they're ready to have

181
00:09:05,147 --> 00:09:07,467
Speaker 5: a really obviously they know we've come here for a

182
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:09,747
Speaker 5: job to do, so I'll focus on that and then

183
00:09:09,787 --> 00:09:11,347
Speaker 5: after the game, if we have a really good win,

184
00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:13,067
Speaker 5: they'll be able to have a few more beers there.

185
00:09:13,267 --> 00:09:15,347
Speaker 2: Indeed, what have your training facilities been?

186
00:09:15,507 --> 00:09:22,627
Speaker 5: Like? Really good? We trained at the UFC Gym, so

187
00:09:22,667 --> 00:09:25,787
Speaker 5: that was really cool. Got a few fighting fans and

188
00:09:25,867 --> 00:09:28,187
Speaker 5: the team so that was a really awesome experience for them.

189
00:09:28,227 --> 00:09:32,147
Speaker 5: And it's a great facility there. The fields, Yeah, the

190
00:09:32,147 --> 00:09:34,987
Speaker 5: field's not the greatest, but you know that was all good.

191
00:09:35,067 --> 00:09:38,667
Speaker 5: We got our work done, so you can't expect too much,

192
00:09:38,707 --> 00:09:40,307
Speaker 5: I guess in a foreign country.

193
00:09:40,027 --> 00:09:43,387
Speaker 2: Indeed, And what about the match venue Allegiant Stadium, what

194
00:09:43,427 --> 00:09:44,587
Speaker 2: do you expect that to be?

195
00:09:44,747 --> 00:09:48,907
Speaker 5: Like, Oh, it's an amazing venue. We've driven past it.

196
00:09:48,907 --> 00:09:51,987
Speaker 5: It looks brand new. I've seen it on TTV. But

197
00:09:52,107 --> 00:09:54,747
Speaker 5: it's going to be really cool to go inside the field.

198
00:09:54,787 --> 00:09:56,907
Speaker 5: To be a little bit narrower and a little bit shorter,

199
00:09:57,027 --> 00:09:59,707
Speaker 5: so we get to go out there tomorrow. We haven't

200
00:09:59,707 --> 00:10:01,187
Speaker 5: been able to train there. We'll go out there tomorrow

201
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:04,547
Speaker 5: for walk around and just yea feel the stadium be

202
00:10:04,627 --> 00:10:05,147
Speaker 5: amongst it.

203
00:10:05,507 --> 00:10:07,787
Speaker 2: How much will that change the way you go about

204
00:10:07,787 --> 00:10:11,547
Speaker 2: things that the slightly smaller dimensions of the playing surface.

205
00:10:12,547 --> 00:10:13,747
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard to plan for.

206
00:10:13,907 --> 00:10:14,507
Speaker 6: I think.

207
00:10:16,027 --> 00:10:17,987
Speaker 5: It's a bit of a feel thing when you're out

208
00:10:18,027 --> 00:10:23,547
Speaker 5: on the field. But we had a trial against Cronella

209
00:10:23,587 --> 00:10:26,187
Speaker 5: on that type of field, and it's maybe a little

210
00:10:26,227 --> 00:10:28,427
Speaker 5: bit harder to attack against. Like there's not obviously as

211
00:10:28,467 --> 00:10:31,067
Speaker 5: much space, so that might be a little bit different.

212
00:10:31,107 --> 00:10:34,907
Speaker 5: But yeah, I guess it just makes He'll probably just

213
00:10:34,907 --> 00:10:36,907
Speaker 5: make it more tough in the middle of the field.

214
00:10:36,947 --> 00:10:39,227
Speaker 5: You know, there's not as much space, so there'll be

215
00:10:39,227 --> 00:10:40,147
Speaker 5: some more bigger collusions.

216
00:10:40,187 --> 00:10:42,107
Speaker 2: I Reckon just want to ask you about a couple

217
00:10:42,107 --> 00:10:46,747
Speaker 2: of players slayed, James Fisher. Harris obviously at the Warriors

218
00:10:47,107 --> 00:10:49,187
Speaker 2: for the first time. Can you give us some insight

219
00:10:49,267 --> 00:10:51,547
Speaker 2: into his early influence on this team.

220
00:10:52,947 --> 00:10:55,667
Speaker 5: Fish has been awesome. He's he's got his own aura.

221
00:10:55,787 --> 00:10:59,147
Speaker 5: You know, when he speaks, everyone listens. He doesn't say

222
00:10:59,187 --> 00:11:01,387
Speaker 5: a whole heap, but yeah, when he stands up in

223
00:11:01,387 --> 00:11:03,907
Speaker 5: front of the team, he just owns everyone's presence. So

224
00:11:05,107 --> 00:11:07,907
Speaker 5: as standards off the field, you know, he speaks with

225
00:11:07,987 --> 00:11:12,227
Speaker 5: his actions. He's always doing his extras. He's just a winner,

226
00:11:12,387 --> 00:11:14,547
Speaker 5: like whatever it takes to when he's willing to do.

227
00:11:14,627 --> 00:11:18,627
Speaker 5: He studies hard, which is very impressive for the type

228
00:11:18,667 --> 00:11:21,907
Speaker 5: of player he is. He's really aggressive, but he's very

229
00:11:21,907 --> 00:11:24,227
Speaker 5: diligent as well. So he's been awesome for the young

230
00:11:24,227 --> 00:11:27,627
Speaker 5: boys to see, you know, that professionalism and that work ethic,

231
00:11:27,707 --> 00:11:29,907
Speaker 5: and he's dragged a few of them with him as well.

232
00:11:29,987 --> 00:11:34,547
Speaker 5: So he's lifted the team standards just by how he

233
00:11:34,587 --> 00:11:35,667
Speaker 5: goes about his own business.

234
00:11:36,267 --> 00:11:38,827
Speaker 2: Aaron Clark back at the club after five years at

235
00:11:38,867 --> 00:11:41,587
Speaker 2: the Titans, so he'll start in the thirteen jumper. What

236
00:11:41,627 --> 00:11:43,547
Speaker 2: do you expect to see from him, not just this

237
00:11:43,587 --> 00:11:44,907
Speaker 2: weekend but across the season.

238
00:11:46,707 --> 00:11:52,187
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's really excited to be back. He's kind

239
00:11:52,187 --> 00:11:54,147
Speaker 5: of he was out of the game and now he's

240
00:11:54,147 --> 00:11:57,427
Speaker 5: back at the Warriors Colors, back at home. He's he's

241
00:11:58,107 --> 00:12:00,227
Speaker 5: he played really well in the trials. He brings a

242
00:12:00,347 --> 00:12:02,147
Speaker 5: lot of league speed, bit of ball playing and he

243
00:12:02,187 --> 00:12:05,827
Speaker 5: works really hard defensively, so he's a strong guy, and yeah,

244
00:12:05,867 --> 00:12:07,987
Speaker 5: we're just excited to get him out there.

245
00:12:08,467 --> 00:12:12,307
Speaker 2: And your halves combo Chanelle Harris Deavita, Luke metcalf in

246
00:12:12,427 --> 00:12:14,787
Speaker 2: six and seven. How did you land on that pairing?

247
00:12:16,867 --> 00:12:17,067
Speaker 3: Yeah?

248
00:12:17,067 --> 00:12:20,387
Speaker 5: They both just like it was a really tough competition

249
00:12:20,507 --> 00:12:23,307
Speaker 5: for the half spots and the boys competed really well.

250
00:12:24,347 --> 00:12:26,227
Speaker 5: Chanel's kind of been in the system for a year

251
00:12:26,267 --> 00:12:28,707
Speaker 5: with Luke's been here for two years now learning under Sean,

252
00:12:28,787 --> 00:12:32,707
Speaker 5: and they're probably just used to the systems and the

253
00:12:32,707 --> 00:12:35,587
Speaker 5: way we attack it and the way we defend. But

254
00:12:36,107 --> 00:12:39,067
Speaker 5: they've they've just had a really good preseason, to be fair.

255
00:12:39,427 --> 00:12:42,347
Speaker 5: Both of them ripped in really hard and it gives

256
00:12:42,427 --> 00:12:44,907
Speaker 5: us a really good left foot right foot combination for

257
00:12:44,947 --> 00:12:45,867
Speaker 5: our kicking game as well.

258
00:12:46,587 --> 00:12:48,987
Speaker 2: And I know it's always hard right at the start

259
00:12:48,987 --> 00:12:51,667
Speaker 2: of a season, But how does it feel as you

260
00:12:52,067 --> 00:12:55,947
Speaker 2: look forward to round one, even maybe comparatively to previous seasons?

261
00:12:56,627 --> 00:12:58,907
Speaker 2: You know, do you what does it feel like ahead

262
00:12:58,907 --> 00:13:01,507
Speaker 2: of the first game of the season inside the Warriors camp?

263
00:13:02,547 --> 00:13:05,227
Speaker 5: Oh, it's definitely, you know, it's a bigger, big event.

264
00:13:06,507 --> 00:13:11,147
Speaker 5: The atmosphere is amazing. They already you know, you can

265
00:13:11,267 --> 00:13:13,147
Speaker 5: a lot of fans have just started rolling in, so

266
00:13:13,467 --> 00:13:15,747
Speaker 5: it almost feels like a finals game. So there's there's

267
00:13:15,747 --> 00:13:17,667
Speaker 5: obviously a bit more around, a lot of sacrifice. The

268
00:13:17,707 --> 00:13:19,747
Speaker 5: boys they deleave their families to come over here, so

269
00:13:20,067 --> 00:13:21,947
Speaker 5: they want to make it worth it. So yeah, I

270
00:13:21,987 --> 00:13:24,307
Speaker 5: think it's got a bit more in it this game

271
00:13:24,347 --> 00:13:25,787
Speaker 5: than just a normal round game.

272
00:13:26,107 --> 00:13:27,747
Speaker 2: Have you managed to get a bit of a gauge

273
00:13:27,787 --> 00:13:28,707
Speaker 2: on on the Raiders.

274
00:13:31,827 --> 00:13:34,547
Speaker 5: We've watched the trials and stuff, and yeah, we know

275
00:13:34,627 --> 00:13:37,587
Speaker 5: they are always a really good They are a really

276
00:13:37,627 --> 00:13:43,027
Speaker 5: hard team, big forwards, strong ball carriers, Ricky Stewart. You know,

277
00:13:43,267 --> 00:13:46,347
Speaker 5: they compete really hard. They fly off the line and

278
00:13:46,347 --> 00:13:49,547
Speaker 5: try belt you. So yeah, we know kind of their

279
00:13:49,587 --> 00:13:52,107
Speaker 5: style and what we have to do against it. But

280
00:13:52,267 --> 00:13:54,627
Speaker 5: it's on the day it's easier said than done.

281
00:13:54,827 --> 00:13:56,747
Speaker 2: Do you think your favorites for this game.

282
00:13:58,227 --> 00:14:02,067
Speaker 5: I wouldn't even know, But you know, anything can happen

283
00:14:02,147 --> 00:14:04,667
Speaker 5: in a game of rugby league. It's the greatest equalizer

284
00:14:04,747 --> 00:14:07,187
Speaker 5: of all sports. I reckon who wants it on the day.

285
00:14:07,227 --> 00:14:10,387
Speaker 5: But we're always confident in the boys. I've had a

286
00:14:10,387 --> 00:14:13,947
Speaker 5: really good preseason. They've trained really hard, worked on things

287
00:14:13,947 --> 00:14:17,027
Speaker 5: we identified we need a fix from last year. So yeah,

288
00:14:17,787 --> 00:14:21,267
Speaker 5: I guess it's our first real test in an inn

289
00:14:21,267 --> 00:14:22,027
Speaker 5: our all game.

290
00:14:22,187 --> 00:14:25,307
Speaker 2: And you're seeing a few Warriors jerseys replica jerseys along

291
00:14:25,347 --> 00:14:28,147
Speaker 2: the strip there and in and around where you're staying.

292
00:14:29,467 --> 00:14:31,867
Speaker 5: Mate, They're everywhere like this. There is fans everywhere. All

293
00:14:31,907 --> 00:14:34,027
Speaker 5: the teams have done well. But I don't know if

294
00:14:34,027 --> 00:14:35,547
Speaker 5: I'm biased, but I just I've seen a lot of

295
00:14:35,547 --> 00:14:39,107
Speaker 5: Warriors jerseys are taking over, which is so cool. Everyone's

296
00:14:39,107 --> 00:14:41,107
Speaker 5: having a great time. Doesn't matter what team you're from.

297
00:14:41,987 --> 00:14:44,667
Speaker 5: You see Worries, Raiders fans out. They're all just having

298
00:14:44,667 --> 00:14:47,947
Speaker 5: a good time there in Vegas. Yeah, it's like a

299
00:14:47,947 --> 00:14:49,827
Speaker 5: lot of Aussies and kiwis over here. But the vibes

300
00:14:49,827 --> 00:14:51,627
Speaker 5: are awesome. You know, there's so much to do and

301
00:14:51,867 --> 00:14:54,827
Speaker 5: wherever you go you see some in our old jerseys.

302
00:14:54,867 --> 00:14:55,747
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's.

303
00:14:55,587 --> 00:14:58,427
Speaker 2: Cool, absolutely well cool time for the fans. Down to

304
00:14:58,427 --> 00:15:00,587
Speaker 2: business though, for you and the team. All the best

305
00:15:00,627 --> 00:15:02,907
Speaker 2: against the Raiders on Sunday, Slate. Thanks for having a

306
00:15:03,027 --> 00:15:03,547
Speaker 2: chat to us.

307
00:15:04,587 --> 00:15:05,307
Speaker 5: Thank you very much.

308
00:15:05,387 --> 00:15:07,227
Speaker 2: That is us. Slag Griffin, assistant coach of the team,

309
00:15:07,227 --> 00:15:08,707
Speaker 2: who I caught up with a couple of days ago.

310
00:15:08,907 --> 00:15:11,347
Speaker 2: He wasn't available at this time the game's about to start,

311
00:15:11,387 --> 00:15:14,547
Speaker 2: so that's probably fair enough. They're gathering in big numbers

312
00:15:14,667 --> 00:15:17,667

Speaker 7: We will be talking around the three today which is awesome.

319
00:15:39,667 --> 00:15:42,827
Speaker 2: Three hundred and fifty. So this tailgate party, this is

320
00:15:42,867 --> 00:15:44,507
Speaker 2: a ticket at event. Can you tell us about this?

321
00:15:45,427 --> 00:15:48,547
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's just hurt inside the bar and just as normal.

322
00:15:48,587 --> 00:15:51,627
Speaker 7: That was booked out in December and then we've decided

323
00:15:51,667 --> 00:15:53,427
Speaker 7: to run the tailgate party house in the back of

324
00:15:53,427 --> 00:15:55,307
Speaker 7: the car park, which we've got one hundred and seventy

325
00:15:55,307 --> 00:15:57,827
Speaker 7: five out there as well, two hundred here and one

326
00:15:57,867 --> 00:16:02,547
Speaker 7: hundred and sooner pive out the back just glued to the.

327
00:16:01,707 --> 00:16:06,507
Speaker 2: Absolutely So what this is probably a silly question. What

328
00:16:06,587 --> 00:16:08,867
Speaker 2: sort of vibe are you getting from the fans who

329
00:16:08,867 --> 00:16:09,547
Speaker 2: are gathered there?

330
00:16:10,307 --> 00:16:13,347
Speaker 7: Well, I haven't seen anyone without Warriors jersey on some

331
00:16:13,547 --> 00:16:16,987
Speaker 7: sort from ninety ninety five right away the caravan, so

332
00:16:18,587 --> 00:16:23,627
Speaker 7: camera Shosi yet a couple of penriis, but thinking yeah,

333
00:16:23,627 --> 00:16:26,827
Speaker 7: and we're in ninety nine percent for Warriors here right now.

334
00:16:27,307 --> 00:16:29,907
Speaker 2: Mate, you would be a brave man or woman to

335
00:16:29,987 --> 00:16:33,507
Speaker 2: wear a canber Raiders jersey into full time sports bar

336
00:16:33,587 --> 00:16:36,267
Speaker 2: this afternoon, wouldn't you one hundred percent?

337
00:16:36,307 --> 00:16:36,827
Speaker 8: But it will be.

338
00:16:37,147 --> 00:16:38,027
Speaker 9: It would make for a.

339
00:16:39,627 --> 00:16:41,827
Speaker 7: Big roar of the crowd. I'm sure in some way

340
00:16:41,947 --> 00:16:42,267
Speaker 7: or warm.

341
00:16:43,387 --> 00:16:47,787
Speaker 2: Everybody is welcome, I'm sure at full time. So what

342
00:16:47,827 --> 00:16:50,587
Speaker 2: are you thinking, Shane? Obviously you know we're very biased

343
00:16:51,107 --> 00:16:53,987
Speaker 2: here and here in New Zealand. But what I mean,

344
00:16:53,987 --> 00:16:55,587
Speaker 2: do you have any nerves? Do you think the Warriors

345
00:16:55,627 --> 00:16:59,147
Speaker 2: will get the job done on day one in Vegas?

346
00:16:59,187 --> 00:17:01,307
Speaker 7: Well, it's not like any other round one is. It

347
00:17:01,307 --> 00:17:03,827
Speaker 7: feels like a semi final and I think they can

348
00:17:03,947 --> 00:17:05,907
Speaker 7: run out on the field like it is a semifinal.

349
00:17:06,427 --> 00:17:08,347
Speaker 7: So I think both teams are going to be out

350
00:17:08,347 --> 00:17:12,627
Speaker 7: at Ricky. Stuart's no dummy and we need no dummy either,

351
00:17:12,667 --> 00:17:13,947
Speaker 7: So I think it's a game on. It's going to

352
00:17:13,947 --> 00:17:16,787
Speaker 7: be pretty tight. And look, of course I'm back in

353
00:17:16,827 --> 00:17:19,307
Speaker 7: the Wars. I'm I'm going to go by.

354
00:17:19,347 --> 00:17:21,987
Speaker 2: Ten love it just before you go, Shane, obviously this

355
00:17:22,027 --> 00:17:25,027
Speaker 2: is this is round one. You're probably the destination for

356
00:17:25,187 --> 00:17:28,067
Speaker 2: most away games, but you're also open for home games too.

357

Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, jump on our website. The bookings already

358
00:17:32,907 --> 00:17:34,867

Speaker 7: I've got a couple of home games coming up to

360
00:17:37,347 --> 00:17:40,187
Speaker 7: jump on and you think, get in here home with

361
00:17:40,267 --> 00:17:43,387
Speaker 7: the Warriors. The boys, we both are coming in afterwards

362
00:17:43,387 --> 00:17:46,507
Speaker 7: from time to time, pending commitments or whether they're here

363
00:17:46,627 --> 00:17:49,947
Speaker 7: or the seas. But yeah, this is this is the place.

375
00:18:17,067 --> 00:18:18,867
Speaker 2: spoke a bit about the Warriors yesterday, but it feels

376
00:18:18,907 --> 00:18:21,667
Speaker 2: a lot more real today, we're only thirty five minutes

377
00:18:21,707 --> 00:18:25,387
Speaker 2: away from kickoff. Any last minute predictions, if you want

380
00:18:31,547 --> 00:18:36,307

381
00:18:36,747 --> 00:18:42,227
Speaker 2: Warriors will make twenty twenty five their year eight hundred

382
00:18:42,307 --> 00:18:43,947
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty years our number. We're going to go

383
00:18:43,947 --> 00:18:46,307
Speaker 2: to Vegas a couple of times between now and one o'clock.

384
00:18:46,347 --> 00:18:48,467
Speaker 2: We're inside the match venue with Michael Burgess from the

385
00:18:48,507 --> 00:18:51,587
Speaker 2: New Zealand Herald and very shortly going to chat to

386
00:18:52,347 --> 00:18:55,467
Speaker 2: a couple who went to Vegas to watch the Warriors

387
00:18:55,547 --> 00:18:59,507
Speaker 2: and did something very special while they were there. Well,

388
00:19:00,267 --> 00:19:02,347
Speaker 2: we'll tell you more when we've come back here on

389
00:19:02,427 --> 00:19:04,027
Speaker 2: news talks here, but actually let's go to the lines,

390
00:19:04,027 --> 00:19:06,547
Speaker 2: because Dan's cordon. You're confident about this after noon.

391
00:19:06,627 --> 00:19:14,387
Speaker 10: Dan, No, I'm not actually to be perfectly honest, but

392
00:19:14,707 --> 00:19:19,787
Speaker 10: my problem with the Warriors is this, Okay, what will

393
00:19:19,867 --> 00:19:23,027
Speaker 10: happen this year, the same.

394
00:19:22,827 --> 00:19:25,187
Speaker 7: As every other year, will be.

395
00:19:25,227 --> 00:19:32,187
Speaker 10: That they'll start to lose, and about three quarters of

396
00:19:32,267 --> 00:19:36,747
Speaker 10: the way through the season they'll say, oh, let's ride

397
00:19:36,827 --> 00:19:41,067
Speaker 10: off this year and we'll be better next year.

398
00:19:41,387 --> 00:19:43,907
Speaker 2: Come on, Dan, it's the first day of the season.

399
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:48,227
Speaker 2: The pessimism can come later. Surely we can have some

400
00:19:48,307 --> 00:19:52,107
Speaker 2: optimism today, of all days. Who knows what might happen

401
00:19:52,147 --> 00:19:55,067
Speaker 2: in the months ahead. I'm more interested in what's going

402
00:19:55,067 --> 00:19:57,267
Speaker 2: to happen today, So let's stick with that. Oh eight,

00:20:25,027 --> 00:20:30,667

420
00:20:59,387 --> 00:21:04,707
Speaker 2: in your Warriors tuxedo holding a cutout of the face

421
00:21:04,747 --> 00:21:07,147
Speaker 2: of the Mad Butcher. This is brilliant And it was

422
00:21:07,147 --> 00:21:11,187
Speaker 2: this always the plan to renew your vows in Vegas

423
00:21:11,227 --> 00:21:12,027
Speaker 2: ahead of this game.

424
00:21:12,667 --> 00:21:16,027
Speaker 11: Oh, absolutely, absolutely, And the timing was so good at

425
00:21:16,107 --> 00:21:18,587
Speaker 11: our twentieth wedding anniversary as well, so what better way

426
00:21:18,627 --> 00:21:21,187
Speaker 11: to start our Vegas trip. And then obviously got the

427
00:21:21,227 --> 00:21:23,667
Speaker 11: Warriors today, which were really amped up about so it's

428
00:21:23,707 --> 00:21:24,387
Speaker 11: going to be awesome.

429
00:21:24,427 --> 00:21:27,587
Speaker 2: Well, congratulations on the renewal and on your wedding anniversary.

430
00:21:27,707 --> 00:21:30,827
Speaker 2: Now you weren't married in Vegas, but I think you

431
00:21:30,907 --> 00:21:33,307
Speaker 2: renewed your vows one other time there, Ben, did you.

432
00:21:33,987 --> 00:21:34,587
Speaker 6: Yeah, we did.

433
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:37,947
Speaker 12: We did it fifteen years ago with Elvis, and it

434
00:21:38,027 --> 00:21:39,827
Speaker 12: was just crazy that this time around it was the

435
00:21:39,867 --> 00:21:42,827
Speaker 12: same Elvis that married us, remarried us fifteen years ago.

436
00:21:43,227 --> 00:21:44,307
Speaker 5: He's an absolute character.

437
00:21:44,347 --> 00:21:46,307
Speaker 13: It was amazing it.

438
00:21:47,107 --> 00:21:50,507
Speaker 2: Was the same Elvis from because there must be many

439
00:21:50,547 --> 00:21:54,267
Speaker 2: many Elvis celebrants in Vegas. Did you specifically try to

440
00:21:54,267 --> 00:21:55,307
Speaker 2: find the same guy.

441
00:21:55,907 --> 00:21:58,147
Speaker 12: No, it was it was a fluke. He had actually

442
00:21:58,147 --> 00:22:01,947
Speaker 12: moved chapel, was from one chapel to another, and it

443
00:22:02,027 --> 00:22:04,347
Speaker 12: was at a different chapels to be met to be.

444
00:22:05,547 --> 00:22:08,587
Speaker 2: I mean you would have remembered him, Well, I don't know.

445
00:22:08,867 --> 00:22:12,067
Speaker 2: He probably marries and renews vows for many couples. Did

446
00:22:12,107 --> 00:22:14,107
Speaker 2: he remember you from fifteen years ago?

447
00:22:15,027 --> 00:22:15,467
Speaker 5: He reckoned.

448
00:22:15,467 --> 00:22:18,347
Speaker 12: By the end of the ceremony, he definitely clipped, So

449
00:22:18,987 --> 00:22:19,467
Speaker 12: I think so.

450
00:22:20,387 --> 00:22:24,427
Speaker 2: Now I've seen the photos, as I say, being the blazer,

451
00:22:24,467 --> 00:22:27,507
Speaker 2: the Warriors blazer that you're wearing, is that specially made

452
00:22:27,587 --> 00:22:28,347
Speaker 2: for this occasion?

453
00:22:29,107 --> 00:22:33,227
Speaker 12: Yeah, there was tailor made in Thailand. So there's an amazing,

454
00:22:33,387 --> 00:22:36,227
Speaker 12: amazing well fitted suit. And then we had the boys

455
00:22:36,267 --> 00:22:39,227
Speaker 12: cut it out and Warriors suits as well. So we're

456
00:22:39,227 --> 00:22:40,067
Speaker 12: all looking the part.

457
00:22:40,387 --> 00:22:42,587
Speaker 2: Oh Anna, this is just what a cool family occasion.

458
00:22:42,707 --> 00:22:44,907
Speaker 2: So your boys, Anna, they were clearly keen to be

459
00:22:44,947 --> 00:22:46,307
Speaker 2: involved in this whole thing as well.

460
00:22:47,187 --> 00:22:48,787
Speaker 12: Yeah, no, they were, they were keen.

461
00:22:48,827 --> 00:22:49,347
Speaker 5: They were keen.

462
00:22:49,427 --> 00:22:52,307
Speaker 11: And after we renewed our vowels, we actually all headed

463
00:22:52,347 --> 00:22:54,427
Speaker 11: to Fremont Street and we all did the zipline as

464
00:22:54,427 --> 00:22:58,347
Speaker 11: a family. But I lost my veil on the zipline.

465
00:22:58,507 --> 00:23:01,467
Speaker 5: What you was absolutely crazy.

466
00:23:01,747 --> 00:23:03,747
Speaker 11: In my wedding dress, but my veil flew off on

467
00:23:03,787 --> 00:23:06,227
Speaker 11: the red carpet and I lost it.

468
00:23:06,427 --> 00:23:09,507
Speaker 12: It was over the top of the NRL opening party,

469
00:23:09,587 --> 00:23:12,707
Speaker 12: so Fremont Street was packed with ten thousand crazy fans

470
00:23:13,147 --> 00:23:15,347
Speaker 12: while we ziplined over the top and our wedding attire.

471
00:23:15,427 --> 00:23:18,347
Speaker 12: So yeah, it was amazing. Sam Burgess was on stage

472
00:23:18,347 --> 00:23:19,707
Speaker 12: and he stopped what he was saying to give us

473
00:23:19,747 --> 00:23:21,867
Speaker 12: a wave as we was ziplining past.

474
00:23:22,307 --> 00:23:24,187
Speaker 2: That is so cool. The thing about it is is

475
00:23:24,227 --> 00:23:26,707
Speaker 2: that you know these things would be out of place

476
00:23:26,707 --> 00:23:28,867
Speaker 2: in other city's been in Vegas. It's probably just an

477
00:23:28,867 --> 00:23:29,987
Speaker 2: every day occurrence.

478
00:23:31,707 --> 00:23:33,227
Speaker 5: Yes, Oh it was nuts.

479
00:23:33,227 --> 00:23:34,067
Speaker 3: It was absolutely nuts.

480
00:23:34,107 --> 00:23:36,227
Speaker 12: It was such a such a good day, and we

481
00:23:36,227 --> 00:23:39,307
Speaker 12: were treadl at celebrities walking around the NRL fan zone.

482
00:23:39,707 --> 00:23:42,147
Speaker 12: Every second person wanted a photo with us, so we

483
00:23:42,187 --> 00:23:43,947
Speaker 12: actually felt like celebrities.

484
00:23:43,427 --> 00:23:43,827
Speaker 9: On the day.

485
00:23:44,267 --> 00:23:46,587
Speaker 2: Outstanding. How long have you both been Warriors fans?

486
00:23:47,907 --> 00:23:50,147
Speaker 12: Oh, since day one? Since day one. We actually lived

487
00:23:50,147 --> 00:23:52,067
Speaker 12: overseas for quite a while, but we lived in Auckland

488
00:23:52,067 --> 00:23:55,187
Speaker 12: for nine years, so we're members for those nine years.

489
00:23:55,227 --> 00:23:57,427
Speaker 12: But we're living in christ Huts now, so we get

490
00:23:57,427 --> 00:23:59,227
Speaker 12: along to every game that's in christ Huts. We've got

491
00:23:59,227 --> 00:24:01,787
Speaker 12: an Anzact test coming up, which would be good. But yeah,

492
00:24:01,787 --> 00:24:03,627
Speaker 12: we've been been fans from since day one.

493
00:24:04,067 --> 00:24:09,027
Speaker 2: And Ano the Mad Butcher. Uh, you know, cut out, cardboard, cutout,

494
00:24:09,067 --> 00:24:11,067
Speaker 2: you're always keen for that to be part of this,

495
00:24:11,067 --> 00:24:12,067
Speaker 2: this whole thing as well.

496
00:24:13,107 --> 00:24:16,907
Speaker 11: Oh, Benny was differently, you're keen on me. I think

497
00:24:16,907 --> 00:24:18,587
Speaker 11: it really made some of those photos.

498
00:24:18,587 --> 00:24:19,627
Speaker 14: It was hilarious.

499
00:24:20,267 --> 00:24:23,347
Speaker 12: I actually I actually flecked Sir Peter Leecher a photo

500
00:24:23,387 --> 00:24:25,267
Speaker 12: of there afterwards as well. I've got his number on

501
00:24:25,307 --> 00:24:28,147
Speaker 12: my phone and I flecked him a photo of himself

502
00:24:28,147 --> 00:24:28,707
Speaker 12: at our wedding.

503
00:24:28,747 --> 00:24:29,747
Speaker 5: So he was pretty staked.

504
00:24:29,907 --> 00:24:30,507
Speaker 3: I bet he was.

505
00:24:30,547 --> 00:24:32,187
Speaker 2: I bet he was. So there's a game now to

506
00:24:32,227 --> 00:24:34,707
Speaker 2: go to. You've you've sort of you know, you've cleared

528
00:25:33,427 --> 00:25:36,987
Speaker 2: could not have been any better. Twenty five to one. Well,

529
00:25:37,027 --> 00:25:39,947
Speaker 2: there's no way that the one New Zealand Warriors could

530
00:25:39,947 --> 00:25:43,827
Speaker 2: play in Vegas without one of their biggest fans, One

531
00:25:43,907 --> 00:25:48,747
Speaker 2: New Zealand CEO Jason Paris, who joins us now from Vegas.

532
00:25:48,787 --> 00:25:52,467
Speaker 2: Are you over there on business or is this strictly

533
00:25:53,547 --> 00:25:57,947
Speaker 2: a trip, a holiday of vacation, as the US residents

534
00:25:57,987 --> 00:25:58,467
Speaker 2: would say.

535
00:25:59,307 --> 00:26:02,267
Speaker 15: Mate, it's definitely not work or business. I'm here with

536
00:26:02,787 --> 00:26:06,267
Speaker 15: nine other mates, remember Cargo, to celebrate our fiftieth birthdays.

537
00:26:06,507 --> 00:26:10,307
Speaker 15: So yeah, we're excited about the day here.

538
00:26:10,347 --> 00:26:14,427
Speaker 2: That's for sure, absolutely brilliant. So definitely definitely a boys trip.

539
00:26:14,467 --> 00:26:17,707
Speaker 2: So how many how many of you were there?

540
00:26:17,467 --> 00:26:21,587
Speaker 15: Yeah, there's nine of us, so all schoolmates from Macargo.

541
00:26:21,707 --> 00:26:24,507
Speaker 15: Who are you know will turn that at Big fifty

542
00:26:24,547 --> 00:26:27,787
Speaker 15: at the the same time or so. Yeah, it's been

543
00:26:27,827 --> 00:26:35,427
Speaker 15: the five days of just I don't know, absolute fantastic environments, sites,

544
00:26:36,307 --> 00:26:38,027
Speaker 15: you know, sounds people.

545
00:26:38,707 --> 00:26:39,547
Speaker 3: It's been incredible.

546
00:26:39,747 --> 00:26:41,347
Speaker 2: Have you been to Vegas before.

547
00:26:42,747 --> 00:26:46,347
Speaker 15: Many many years ago? And and so I have to

548
00:26:46,347 --> 00:26:48,107
Speaker 15: say when we got off the plane, I was like,

549
00:26:48,147 --> 00:26:49,747
Speaker 15: we just need to get back on the plane alive,

550
00:26:50,067 --> 00:26:54,667
Speaker 15: because what they say about anything goes in Vegas is true.

551
00:26:55,147 --> 00:26:58,467
Speaker 15: And so you know, these are in the cogol ads

552
00:26:58,547 --> 00:27:02,827
Speaker 15: have have certainly put Vegas through its paces and so far,

553
00:27:03,307 --> 00:27:04,467
Speaker 15: so far, we're still standing.

554
00:27:04,547 --> 00:27:07,587
Speaker 2: That's good to know. Good to know. With match arriving

555
00:27:08,027 --> 00:27:10,107
Speaker 2: in the game not too far away, have you had

556
00:27:10,147 --> 00:27:13,707
Speaker 2: the chance Jason to catch up with anybody from the team.

557
00:27:14,027 --> 00:27:16,187
Speaker 15: Yes, I had the privilege to go to the Captain's

558
00:27:16,267 --> 00:27:20,507
Speaker 15: run yesterday. Boys are looking sharp. They just want to

559
00:27:20,507 --> 00:27:22,347
Speaker 15: get out and play the game now. I think. You know,

560
00:27:22,347 --> 00:27:25,067
Speaker 15: they've been here for over a week and quite a

561
00:27:25,067 --> 00:27:27,387
Speaker 15: tough environment to be in for a player, because you've

562
00:27:27,427 --> 00:27:30,627
Speaker 15: got all these you know, amazing, amazing things happening around you,

563
00:27:31,067 --> 00:27:33,067
Speaker 15: which can be a distraction, but you've got to keep

564
00:27:33,107 --> 00:27:37,067
Speaker 15: your head down and focus on the task task ahead.

565
00:27:37,187 --> 00:27:41,067
Speaker 15: But look, the combinations looked great. Everyone looked really fits.

566
00:27:42,147 --> 00:27:42,307
Speaker 14: You know.

567
00:27:42,347 --> 00:27:45,067
Speaker 15: The common consensus from all everyone I talked to is

568
00:27:45,107 --> 00:27:47,707
Speaker 15: we just want to get out there and get this

569
00:27:47,707 --> 00:27:51,187
Speaker 15: this this game underway. And you know, the stadium looks

570
00:27:51,267 --> 00:27:55,707
Speaker 15: absolutely brilliant. I suppose then the boys don't seem to

571
00:27:55,707 --> 00:28:00,107
Speaker 15: be too intimidated or daunted by the experience, so feeling

572
00:28:00,107 --> 00:28:01,307
Speaker 15: confident and excited.

573
00:28:01,747 --> 00:28:05,347
Speaker 2: Are you seeing a few one New Zealand Warriors replica

574
00:28:05,467 --> 00:28:06,307
Speaker 2: jerseys around.

575
00:28:07,547 --> 00:28:10,347
Speaker 15: We are dominating the town, I have to tell you,

576
00:28:10,427 --> 00:28:16,107
Speaker 15: Like they're are updoars chants every twenty five meters. I

577
00:28:16,147 --> 00:28:20,227
Speaker 15: would say there's two or three to one ratio of

578
00:28:20,267 --> 00:28:25,027
Speaker 15: Warriors supporters compete to any other team. Probably actually the

579
00:28:25,107 --> 00:28:29,387
Speaker 15: traveling English fans are kind of the second largest group

580
00:28:29,467 --> 00:28:34,027
Speaker 15: contingent of like Wigan and Warrington supporters. But yeah, like

581
00:28:34,147 --> 00:28:38,267
Speaker 15: there are Warriors supporters everywhere, and even people who have

582
00:28:38,307 --> 00:28:41,187
Speaker 15: come back who support other teams like they enjoyed it

583
00:28:41,187 --> 00:28:43,147
Speaker 15: so much last year. I bumped into a few Bronco

584
00:28:43,187 --> 00:28:46,027
Speaker 15: supporters are here charing for the Warriors as well, so

585
00:28:46,507 --> 00:28:49,507
Speaker 15: where everyone else's second favorite team at the same time.

586
00:28:49,587 --> 00:28:52,387
Speaker 15: So the stadium is going to be dominated by one

587
00:28:52,467 --> 00:28:54,947
Speaker 15: yw Zealand Warrior supporters this afternoon. It's going to be

588
00:28:55,587 --> 00:28:56,267
Speaker 15: just fantastic.

589
00:28:56,427 --> 00:28:58,867

00:30:27,587 --> 00:30:29,467
Speaker 2: It's a tenuous leak, but I think we can get

624
00:30:29,507 --> 00:30:33,387
Speaker 2: away with it. How has it been, Oh man.

625
00:30:33,987 --> 00:30:34,427
Speaker 16: I'll tell you what.

626
00:30:34,627 --> 00:30:37,307
Speaker 13: Like we knew, I thought that i'd go to Vegas.

627
00:30:37,347 --> 00:30:39,107
Speaker 13: I've never been to Vegas before, by the way, which

628
00:30:39,187 --> 00:30:42,667
Speaker 13: might shock you, but I've never been. And I thought that,

629
00:30:43,467 --> 00:30:46,347
Speaker 13: like the NRL and the Warriors, eve would just be

630
00:30:46,347 --> 00:30:49,147
Speaker 13: a drop in the ocean of what happens in Vegas.

631
00:30:49,427 --> 00:30:50,587
Speaker 6: But I'll tell you what.

632
00:30:51,347 --> 00:30:55,627
Speaker 13: I have not walked ten meters without seeing a Warriors jersey,

633
00:30:55,867 --> 00:30:59,547
Speaker 13: single bucket hat hat's that's pretty cool.

634
00:30:59,787 --> 00:31:00,427
Speaker 6: It's pretty cool.

635
00:31:00,427 --> 00:31:04,667
Speaker 13: There are Warriors fans everywhere, the odd Penrith fan and

636
00:31:04,787 --> 00:31:08,387
Speaker 13: hardly any care Mbra fans, so that's going to be

637
00:31:08,387 --> 00:31:09,907
Speaker 13: pretty effect when we at the stadium.

638
00:31:10,027 --> 00:31:12,147
Speaker 2: I've seen some bit of croakiness in your voice. What

639
00:31:12,187 --> 00:31:14,067
Speaker 2: have you been up to the last few days personally?

640
00:31:15,147 --> 00:31:17,627
Speaker 13: Well, look for legal reasons, pony, I'm going to say

641
00:31:18,187 --> 00:31:20,627
Speaker 13: I haven't been up to much. Just been out a

642
00:31:20,627 --> 00:31:23,827
Speaker 13: couple of shows, you know, might might have slept a.

643
00:31:23,787 --> 00:31:24,547
Speaker 6: Couple of pokeies.

644
00:31:26,707 --> 00:31:29,547
Speaker 13: I went to an NHL game, but apart from that, pony,

645
00:31:29,747 --> 00:31:32,747
Speaker 13: everything above and all above board.

646
00:31:33,107 --> 00:31:33,947
Speaker 6: Now all above board.

647
00:31:34,067 --> 00:31:36,587
Speaker 2: The ice hockey games play the ice hockey game. So

648
00:31:36,667 --> 00:31:38,827
Speaker 2: is that the the is that Bill Foley's team? Did

649
00:31:38,867 --> 00:31:39,627
Speaker 2: you go and watch this team?

650
00:31:39,667 --> 00:31:42,787
Speaker 13: Yes, yes, the Golden Knights. We watched the Golden Knights

651
00:31:42,787 --> 00:31:46,947
Speaker 13: place Chicago. Oh, man, Americans, I'll tell you what they

652
00:31:46,987 --> 00:31:49,827
Speaker 13: know how to do sport like, Oh my god, that was.

653
00:31:50,227 --> 00:31:53,187
Speaker 13: It was basically twenty minutes of hockey and then there's

654
00:31:53,227 --> 00:31:54,907
Speaker 13: twenty minutes where they go off, where you go and

655
00:31:54,947 --> 00:31:56,827
Speaker 13: drink beers, and then they come back on. They do

656
00:31:56,907 --> 00:31:59,587
Speaker 13: twenty minutes more of hockey. Then you drink more beers

657
00:31:59,587 --> 00:32:01,787
Speaker 13: to twenty minutes while they're off, and then there's twenty

658
00:32:01,787 --> 00:32:02,547
Speaker 13: minutes of hockey.

659
00:32:02,907 --> 00:32:07,387
Speaker 6: It's it's great. I do you know what, Piney, I'm out.

660
00:32:07,627 --> 00:32:10,027
Speaker 6: I'm moving. I'm moving to the States. I'm not coming home.

661
00:32:10,347 --> 00:32:12,027
Speaker 2: Tell my wife, ring my wife.

662
00:32:12,867 --> 00:32:14,947
Speaker 6: Piney, you're a good man. I know you're a good man.

663
00:32:15,147 --> 00:32:16,987
Speaker 6: I've known you for a while. I hope you can

664
00:32:17,027 --> 00:32:17,747
Speaker 6: trust you.

665
00:32:17,787 --> 00:32:21,467
Speaker 13: Can you call my family, Call my wife, tell her

666
00:32:21,587 --> 00:32:22,627
Speaker 13: everything will be okay.

667
00:32:22,907 --> 00:32:25,707
Speaker 6: I'll be home in the bat but not for a while.

668
00:32:26,187 --> 00:32:29,987
Speaker 2: I don't know whether I should be given that responsibility, Mike,

669
00:32:30,067 --> 00:32:33,347
Speaker 2: but leave it with me. Mike Lane, General manager of

670
00:32:33,427 --> 00:32:38,547
Speaker 2: the ACC the Alternative Commentary Collective, clearly sampling everything that

671
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:40,987
Speaker 2: Vegas has to offer. It's called it to one. Fifteen

672
00:32:40,987 --> 00:32:43,267
Speaker 2: minutes away from kickoff, let's get you to the match venue.

673
00:32:43,307 --> 00:32:47,187
Speaker 2: Michael Burgess from the New Zealand Herald is at Allegiance Stadium.

674
00:32:47,627 --> 00:32:50,587
Speaker 2: Can you start off, maybe, Michael by painting a picture

675
00:32:50,627 --> 00:32:52,147
Speaker 2: for us? What is the venue like?

676
00:32:54,187 --> 00:32:56,187
Speaker 17: It's incredible, Piney, I've been lucky to go to a

677
00:32:56,227 --> 00:32:59,507
Speaker 17: few stadiums in my career, but this, this one, it

678
00:32:59,587 --> 00:33:03,627
Speaker 17: must be the best. It's absolutely amazing, really really steep,

679
00:33:04,027 --> 00:33:07,227
Speaker 17: grandstance and no matter where you're sitting, you is incredible.

680
00:33:07,507 --> 00:33:11,867
Speaker 17: The press box luckout in suf from Vertigo. It's so high,

681
00:33:11,907 --> 00:33:13,627
Speaker 17: I don't know how many meters, but you just way

682
00:33:13,747 --> 00:33:17,387
Speaker 17: up in the clouds up here. It's covered, but there's

683
00:33:17,387 --> 00:33:20,627
Speaker 17: plenty of light coming in. Just beautiful, a lot of

684
00:33:20,667 --> 00:33:21,347
Speaker 17: fans in here.

685
00:33:21,387 --> 00:33:22,067
Speaker 6: We've just had.

686
00:33:21,947 --> 00:33:27,387
Speaker 17: The national champion University of Las Vegas cheerleaders performing, and

687
00:33:27,467 --> 00:33:30,147
Speaker 17: of course the Warriors aren't too far away, so it's

688
00:33:30,227 --> 00:33:31,747
Speaker 17: just a magnificent atmosphere.

689
00:33:31,747 --> 00:33:32,227
Speaker 6: It really is.

690
00:33:32,467 --> 00:33:34,467
Speaker 2: We heard from Slade Griffin earlier in the hour. He

691
00:33:34,547 --> 00:33:37,107
Speaker 2: talked about the dimensions the field being quite different or

692
00:33:37,147 --> 00:33:40,147
Speaker 2: slightly different from what they face in a normal NRL

693
00:33:40,227 --> 00:33:43,707
Speaker 2: game back here. Is that obvious that the field is narrower?

694
00:33:45,347 --> 00:33:45,667
Speaker 14: It is.

695
00:33:45,707 --> 00:33:48,187
Speaker 6: Actually it was during the Captain drunk yesterday.

696
00:33:48,187 --> 00:33:49,547
Speaker 17: I went down on the field and had a look

697
00:33:49,587 --> 00:33:52,907
Speaker 17: and the sideline is really close to the grandstand and

698
00:33:52,947 --> 00:33:54,987
Speaker 17: the concrete part. You don't want to be a winger

699
00:33:55,027 --> 00:33:57,347
Speaker 17: today and getting getting pushed out over the sideline.

700
00:33:57,627 --> 00:33:59,427
Speaker 6: It could hurt. I think the field is.

701
00:33:59,427 --> 00:34:03,787
Speaker 17: About five meters narrower and about six meters shorter, so

702
00:34:03,867 --> 00:34:06,267
Speaker 17: that the blocks of ten meters are actually only nine

703
00:34:06,347 --> 00:34:08,747
Speaker 17: and the half meters. But I think the width will

704
00:34:08,747 --> 00:34:11,507
Speaker 17: obviously be the biggest difference.

705
00:34:11,547 --> 00:34:12,707
Speaker 6: You would you would think.

706
00:34:13,067 --> 00:34:16,347
Speaker 2: What scenes do you get from the Warriors players, coach

707
00:34:16,387 --> 00:34:20,547
Speaker 2: Andrew Webster and others associated with the playing group, From

708
00:34:20,587 --> 00:34:22,947
Speaker 2: the media opportunities you've had since your time there.

709
00:34:25,227 --> 00:34:26,827
Speaker 17: They're in a good space. I mean, it's been a

710
00:34:26,867 --> 00:34:28,987
Speaker 17: long week. It has to be a long week. They

711
00:34:29,027 --> 00:34:31,947
Speaker 17: had to ride earlier, arrived on Saturday, but they're saying

712
00:34:31,947 --> 00:34:32,787
Speaker 17: all the right things.

713
00:34:33,387 --> 00:34:35,707
Speaker 6: Las Vegas is the kind of place that does drain you.

714
00:34:35,707 --> 00:34:37,587
Speaker 6: You know, where you walk out the door, there's just

715
00:34:37,627 --> 00:34:39,507
Speaker 6: something to take your energy away.

716
00:34:39,547 --> 00:34:43,067
Speaker 17: They've been conscious of that, but webs Tommy's happy with

717
00:34:43,267 --> 00:34:45,547
Speaker 17: the training they've done. They've been pretty focused since Monday.

718
00:34:45,587 --> 00:34:49,067
Speaker 17: We're fully focused, so you know, I think they're ready

719
00:34:49,107 --> 00:34:52,907
Speaker 17: to perform. But that's the big question. The game we've

720
00:34:52,907 --> 00:34:55,307
Speaker 17: just seen between Wigan and Warrington was quite obvious that

721
00:34:55,387 --> 00:34:57,867
Speaker 17: the Warrington team had a bit of stage right the

722
00:34:57,907 --> 00:35:00,027
Speaker 17: occasion got to them that they didn't settle down until

723
00:35:00,027 --> 00:35:02,387
Speaker 17: well into the second half. So that is one of

724
00:35:02,387 --> 00:35:04,867
Speaker 17: the big battles today because this is not your ordinary

725
00:35:04,987 --> 00:35:07,787
Speaker 17: round one. You know, this is this is unbelievable, isn't

726
00:35:07,827 --> 00:35:09,947
Speaker 17: it to be here in Las Vegas, in this stadium?

727
00:35:10,267 --> 00:35:12,027
Speaker 6: And also just thinking about the fact that this.

728
00:35:12,067 --> 00:35:15,147
Speaker 17: Game is going out, this game, the Warriors game is

729
00:35:15,187 --> 00:35:17,387
Speaker 17: going out on free to air on the Fox Sports

730
00:35:17,427 --> 00:35:19,827
Speaker 17: network in the United States, So that's I'm not saying

731
00:35:19,867 --> 00:35:22,067
Speaker 17: you was good at watching, but that's to one hundred

732
00:35:22,067 --> 00:35:24,867
Speaker 17: and twenty million households. So if you start thinking about

733
00:35:24,867 --> 00:35:28,307
Speaker 17: that as a player, you know, it could distract.

734
00:35:27,947 --> 00:35:32,067
Speaker 2: You from a playing roster point of view. This isn't

735
00:35:32,627 --> 00:35:36,267
Speaker 2: on paper as strong a Warriors team as last season,

736
00:35:36,347 --> 00:35:38,347
Speaker 2: is it? But how do you as cease their ability

737
00:35:38,427 --> 00:35:41,067
Speaker 2: to perhaps do better than the team did last year?

738
00:35:41,147 --> 00:35:44,027
Speaker 2: You know, such high expectation last year wasn't delivered a bond?

739
00:35:44,147 --> 00:35:44,907
Speaker 2: What about this year?

740
00:35:47,547 --> 00:35:49,987
Speaker 6: I mean the obvious concern this year is having no

741
00:35:50,067 --> 00:35:52,547
Speaker 6: Shawn Johnson. I mean, he couldn't have gone another year.

742
00:35:52,587 --> 00:35:56,267
Speaker 17: But the lack of experience as the halves is the

743
00:35:56,267 --> 00:35:58,387
Speaker 17: big one really because their halves are so important over

744
00:35:58,507 --> 00:35:59,707
Speaker 17: year and they're.

745
00:35:59,547 --> 00:36:01,347
Speaker 6: Really miss add in Orthough.

746
00:36:01,427 --> 00:36:03,907
Speaker 17: Of course, Bisher Harris is a fantastic player, So that's

747
00:36:03,907 --> 00:36:06,907
Speaker 17: sort of two obvious ones plus two who the experiences gone.

748
00:36:07,387 --> 00:36:09,587
Speaker 17: I do think, however, they've got a bit of a

749
00:36:09,627 --> 00:36:12,867
Speaker 17: better balance this year across the team. I like Roger

750
00:36:12,907 --> 00:36:15,467
Speaker 17: on the wing. I think center actually never worked.

751
00:36:15,467 --> 00:36:18,427
Speaker 6: I like Leotara at center, the young kid, he could

752
00:36:18,427 --> 00:36:21,027
Speaker 6: be really good. Some of the young forwards coming through

753
00:36:21,067 --> 00:36:23,747
Speaker 6: I think are ready now after a couple of pre seasons,

754
00:36:24,347 --> 00:36:27,147
Speaker 6: and barn Ed and Fisher Harris will be great leaders.

755
00:36:27,147 --> 00:36:30,947
Speaker 17: So that there's things to like, but it just really

756
00:36:30,987 --> 00:36:32,827
Speaker 17: depends how they start. I think it's the same with

757
00:36:32,867 --> 00:36:36,307
Speaker 17: every Warriors season. The first six or seven games. They've

758
00:36:36,347 --> 00:36:38,747
Speaker 17: got to win a few and get some momentum, otherwise

759
00:36:38,867 --> 00:36:39,947
Speaker 17: it could be a long year.

760
00:36:40,027 --> 00:36:42,267
Speaker 6: You know, if they win today, and they win one

761
00:36:42,307 --> 00:36:44,507
Speaker 6: of their first two games in Mount Smart, then they're

762
00:36:44,547 --> 00:36:45,147
Speaker 6: well placed.

763
00:36:45,947 --> 00:36:48,987
Speaker 2: Do they feel like favorites today or is it difficult

764
00:36:49,027 --> 00:36:51,707
Speaker 2: to gauge that? With it being such a unique occasion.

765
00:36:52,347 --> 00:36:53,587
Speaker 6: It's quite hard to gauge really.

766
00:36:53,627 --> 00:36:55,387
Speaker 17: By yeah, I mean I think it's going to be

767
00:36:55,427 --> 00:36:59,067
Speaker 17: a tight game with the Raiders obviously good better last season.

768
00:36:59,147 --> 00:37:00,987
Speaker 6: Oh here we go, we've got the national anthem. This

769
00:37:01,027 --> 00:37:01,427
Speaker 6: is great.

770
00:37:01,627 --> 00:37:04,507
Speaker 2: Well, we can't have your talking during that. We make

771
00:37:04,587 --> 00:37:06,067
Speaker 2: sure we let you go and enjoy the rest of

772
00:37:06,107 --> 00:37:06,347
Speaker 2: the year.

773
00:37:06,587 --> 00:37:12,507
Speaker 17: The occasion, But yeah, I think, I think, I think

774
00:37:12,547 --> 00:37:15,267
Speaker 17: the Warriors can certainly do it today. The Raiders are

775
00:37:15,267 --> 00:37:16,827
Speaker 17: a beatable team, but they are a good team. They've

776
00:37:16,827 --> 00:37:18,587
Speaker 17: got plenty of pace, They've got those big forwards, so

777
00:37:19,627 --> 00:37:20,747
Speaker 17: expecting a close one.

Speaker 2: On seven away from one. Thank you for all your

791
00:38:01,547 --> 00:38:04,347
Speaker 2: causing correspondence around this Warriors game. I get the feeling

792
00:38:04,347 --> 00:38:07,227
Speaker 2: that a few people might might have divine focus after

793
00:38:07,227 --> 00:38:11,067
Speaker 2: one o'clock. Look, keep the radio on. We'll keep an

Speaker 2: allegiand Stadium. Much more to come after one o'clock as well.

797
00:38:20,347 --> 00:38:22,187
Speaker 2: Just before we get to the news, they but a

798
00:38:22,227 --> 00:38:26,427
Speaker 2: live sport to update you want in the Ford Trophy

799
00:38:26,507 --> 00:38:29,547
Speaker 2: cricket Final. This is taking place at the University of

800
00:38:29,587 --> 00:38:33,787
Speaker 2: Otago Overland, Dunedin, but Otago aren't playing. It's Auckland against

801
00:38:33,827 --> 00:38:36,707
Speaker 2: Canterbury Aucklam on the toss earlier on today, fin Allen's

802
00:38:36,747 --> 00:38:38,827
Speaker 2: their captain today. He decided, yep, we'll have a bat

803
00:38:39,147 --> 00:38:41,747
Speaker 2: got out there unfortunately for finale and he was out

804
00:38:41,747 --> 00:38:45,987
Speaker 2: for a duck and Auckland are very quickly in trouble

805
00:38:46,507 --> 00:38:50,507
Speaker 2: at twenty for three, then forty five for four and

806
00:38:50,627 --> 00:38:54,107
Speaker 2: fifty seven for five, but they have steadied the ship

807
00:38:54,147 --> 00:38:57,347
Speaker 2: ever so slightly. Jimmy Neisham, who got one hundred in

808
00:38:57,387 --> 00:39:00,067
Speaker 2: the semi final the other day against the Stags, thirty

809
00:39:00,107 --> 00:39:03,747
Speaker 2: one not out. He's been joined by Simon Keene who

810
00:39:03,867 --> 00:39:07,147
Speaker 2: is unbeaten on twenty eight, so half through their innings,

811
00:39:07,147 --> 00:39:10,187
Speaker 2: twenty five overs is gone. Auckland are one hundred and

812
00:39:10,347 --> 00:39:14,747
Speaker 2: eight for five, which in itself is not a terrific score,

813
00:39:14,827 --> 00:39:17,787
Speaker 2: but when you're fifty seven for five one hundred and

814
00:39:17,827 --> 00:39:20,187
Speaker 2: eight for five, we're still half year innings to go.

815
00:39:20,267 --> 00:39:22,187
Speaker 2: Maybe not too bad and we all know Jimmy Neisham

816
00:39:22,187 --> 00:39:25,387
Speaker 2: can give it some when he wants to, so if

817
00:39:25,427 --> 00:39:28,027
Speaker 2: he can stay there for the majority of the back

818
00:39:28,107 --> 00:39:31,027
Speaker 2: end of the innings then Auckland will, I'm sure, put

819
00:39:31,107 --> 00:39:35,187
Speaker 2: up a stiff target for Canterbury to chase. Zach Folks

820
00:39:35,227 --> 00:39:38,387
Speaker 2: two for thirteen, two for thirteen for Zach folks. He's

821
00:39:38,387 --> 00:39:42,027
Speaker 2: the best of the Canterbury bowlers that of five overs,

822
00:39:42,027 --> 00:39:44,667
Speaker 2: so he knocked the top off the order. He didn't

823
00:39:44,667 --> 00:39:47,867
Speaker 2: get Allen, but he got Solier and McKenzie so Auckland

824
00:39:47,987 --> 00:39:51,267
Speaker 2: year twenty for three early on in their innings. The

825
00:39:51,307 --> 00:39:55,507
Speaker 2: New Zealand Golf Open is into its final rounds. Overnight

826
00:39:55,587 --> 00:39:59,107
Speaker 2: leader Guntatco is yet to tee off. He's twenty two

827
00:39:59,187 --> 00:40:03,227
Speaker 2: under the card through three rounds. So the New Zealand

828
00:40:03,227 --> 00:40:05,947
Speaker 2: Open record as well and truly under threat twenty eight

829
00:40:06,027 --> 00:40:08,347
Speaker 2: hunder twenty seven twenty eight under. I think it is.

830
00:40:09,187 --> 00:40:12,387
Speaker 2: Andrew Alderson will join us from Milbrook to give us

831
00:40:12,427 --> 00:40:17,107
Speaker 2: more information after one o'clock. But looking at the players

832
00:40:17,107 --> 00:40:20,067
Speaker 2: who have teed off and the big mover, Sam Jones

833
00:40:20,067 --> 00:40:22,907
Speaker 2: had a really good round yesterday of sixty one. He

834
00:40:23,147 --> 00:40:26,507
Speaker 2: is through one hole today and one Undersea's moved up

835
00:40:26,547 --> 00:40:29,867
Speaker 2: a shot to sixteen under. Daniel Hillyer has had a

836
00:40:29,907 --> 00:40:32,547
Speaker 2: good start to his final round. He's two under through

837
00:40:32,587 --> 00:40:35,627
Speaker 2: five holes. He's moved to fourteen under for the tournament. Look,

838
00:40:35,667 --> 00:40:39,147
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're going to challenge Gundtuco at twenty

839
00:40:39,187 --> 00:40:41,867
Speaker 2: two under, but they're at least making some strides up

840
00:40:41,907 --> 00:40:44,987
Speaker 2: the leaderboard. I said to Andrew Ordison yesterday, how far

841
00:40:45,187 --> 00:40:47,187
Speaker 2: ahead do you have to be going into the final

842
00:40:47,267 --> 00:40:50,667
Speaker 2: round to be pretty safe? He reckoned four shots, which

843
00:40:50,707 --> 00:40:54,387
Speaker 2: is what Guntucko is ahead of the outright second place

844
00:40:54,427 --> 00:40:58,187
Speaker 2: golf of Western Australian Ryan Peak at eighteen under. And

845
00:40:58,227 --> 00:41:01,267
Speaker 2: then now there is a group of four players who

846
00:41:01,347 --> 00:41:04,147
Speaker 2: are tied for third at seventeen under the card it

847
00:41:04,227 --> 00:41:06,867
Speaker 2: just seems to be a course where low's scoring is

848
00:41:06,987 --> 00:41:09,627
Speaker 2: very possible, which I guess also means that if you

849
00:41:09,707 --> 00:41:13,027
Speaker 2: want to play it safe, as good Taco might with

850
00:41:13,187 --> 00:41:14,947
Speaker 2: a four shot lead, then you should be able to

851
00:41:14,987 --> 00:41:18,667
Speaker 2: negotiate the course, you know, an even par or even

852
00:41:18,947 --> 00:41:21,267
Speaker 2: you know, one or two under, and that will probably

853
00:41:21,307 --> 00:41:24,827
Speaker 2: be enough unless somebody absolutely lights it up, which again

854
00:41:25,067 --> 00:41:28,227
Speaker 2: is quite possible. So that's a long winded way of

855
00:41:28,267 --> 00:41:32,147
Speaker 2: saying that that it is still all on at the

856
00:41:32,187 --> 00:41:34,587
Speaker 2: New Zealand Gopher Golf Open. We'll get you there after one,

857
00:41:34,667 --> 00:41:37,107
Speaker 2: and also inside the Blues rugby camp with assistant coach

858
00:41:37,107 --> 00:41:38,027
Speaker 2: Paul Tittle.

859
00:41:39,427 --> 00:41:42,347
Speaker 1: The only place to discuss the biggest fource issues on

860
00:41:42,707 --> 00:41:46,627
Speaker 1: and after fields. It's all on weekend Sport with Jason

861
00:41:46,707 --> 00:41:49,107
Speaker 1: Paine on your home of Sport.

862
00:41:50,507 --> 00:41:50,747
Speaker 8: Talk.

863
00:41:51,867 --> 00:41:54,187
Speaker 2: Hello, Down one O seven. This is Weekend Sport on

864
00:41:54,227 --> 00:41:57,107
Speaker 2: News Talk SAIB for Sunday, March the second. I'm Jason Pine,

865
00:41:57,507 --> 00:42:01,987
Speaker 2: Anny McDonald's show producer. We're here till three. Really enjoyed

866
00:42:02,067 --> 00:42:05,427
Speaker 2: last hour getting the flavor and the color and the

867
00:42:05,547 --> 00:42:09,387
Speaker 2: vibe and vague. All the talking's done now and the

868
00:42:09,427 --> 00:42:12,547
Speaker 2: game has finally gotten underway. The Warriors are underway in

869
00:42:12,587 --> 00:42:16,507
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, up against the Raiders in Vegas five

870
00:42:16,547 --> 00:42:19,027
Speaker 2: and it has gone no score. We'll keep eyes on that

871
00:42:19,067 --> 00:42:21,067
Speaker 2: for you over the next couple of hours. If you've

872
00:42:21,107 --> 00:42:24,187
Speaker 2: got thoughts, maybe you're watching the game and listening to

873
00:42:24,267 --> 00:42:26,547
Speaker 2: us to get your thoughts. You can text them too. Actually,

874
00:42:26,667 --> 00:42:29,787
Speaker 2: I wouldn't expect that you would necessarily call us while

875
00:42:29,827 --> 00:42:32,907
Speaker 2: you're watching the game. It's not The Raiders have discored

876
00:42:32,947 --> 00:42:34,507
Speaker 2: a try. They're going to check it. I just had

877
00:42:34,587 --> 00:42:36,307
Speaker 2: half an eye on it. As I said before one,

878
00:42:36,867 --> 00:42:38,787
Speaker 2: I have learned a little bit to do two things

879
00:42:38,787 --> 00:42:41,707
Speaker 2: at once, but I'm not great at it. I just

880
00:42:41,707 --> 00:42:43,587
Speaker 2: glanced up at the screen as I was chatting and

881
00:42:44,307 --> 00:42:46,907
Speaker 2: Raiders player was reaching out with the ball towards the

882
00:42:46,987 --> 00:42:49,707
Speaker 2: try line. Got to say, it looked to me like

883
00:42:49,747 --> 00:42:52,987
Speaker 2: it was short, but they're gonna check it in the bunker.

884
00:42:54,667 --> 00:42:59,147
Speaker 2: It's been called no trice is Anny McDonald, my faithful producer.

885
00:42:59,187 --> 00:43:01,387
Speaker 2: It's been called no try to start with. I see gotcha.

886
00:43:01,467 --> 00:43:02,387
Speaker 2: I thought you might be watching.

887
00:43:02,467 --> 00:43:02,707
Speaker 18: I might.

888
00:43:02,747 --> 00:43:04,587
Speaker 2: I thought it might be delayed in here because there's

889
00:43:04,627 --> 00:43:06,587
Speaker 2: been no decision on the screen I'm watching. It was

890
00:43:06,587 --> 00:43:09,707
Speaker 2: called no try on the field. Bunker is checking it.

891
00:43:09,707 --> 00:43:12,027
Speaker 2: It just has to touch the line, right Andy, that's

892
00:43:12,067 --> 00:43:14,987
Speaker 2: the rule. It just has to touch the line. This

893
00:43:15,147 --> 00:43:19,707
Speaker 2: is me commentating in real time. The bunker is checking it.

894
00:43:19,787 --> 00:43:23,067
Speaker 2: So it looked as though the Raiders may have opened

895
00:43:23,107 --> 00:43:26,507
Speaker 2: the scoring. LL stay with it until we get the decision,

896
00:43:26,547 --> 00:43:32,987
Speaker 2: which is try. The Canberra Raiders on the board in

897
00:43:33,027 --> 00:43:35,507
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five against the Warriors, they scored the first

898
00:43:35,507 --> 00:43:40,707
Speaker 2: try and lead Fortel with a kick to come. Other

899
00:43:40,747 --> 00:43:42,947
Speaker 2: live sport going on at the moment the fort Trophy

900
00:43:42,987 --> 00:43:47,187
Speaker 2: cricket final. Of course, now I completely jinxed Jimmy Neisham

901
00:43:47,667 --> 00:43:50,347
Speaker 2: before one o'clock. I said, look well, Jimmy Nisham's there

902
00:43:50,387 --> 00:43:54,347
Speaker 2: if he can last for a decent chunk of the

903
00:43:54,387 --> 00:43:56,827
Speaker 2: next twenty five overs, Auckland might be okay. Well, four

904
00:43:56,827 --> 00:44:03,387
Speaker 2: balls later he was out unfortunately for thirty two. The

905
00:44:03,427 --> 00:44:06,947
Speaker 2: sixth Auckland aces wicket to fall one hundred and twenty

906
00:44:07,027 --> 00:44:09,467
Speaker 2: for six, one hundred and twenty for six. They are

907
00:44:09,507 --> 00:44:11,827
Speaker 2: Simon keen as I'm beaten on thirty seven. He's been

908
00:44:11,947 --> 00:44:16,947
Speaker 2: joined by Lachlan Stackpole and Auckland rarely with a job

909
00:44:16,987 --> 00:44:18,987
Speaker 2: on their hands here and now to set any sort

910
00:44:19,027 --> 00:44:22,867
Speaker 2: of decent target for Canterbury one hundred and twenty for six.

911
00:44:22,947 --> 00:44:24,947
Speaker 2: They do still have a lot of time left to bat.

912
00:44:25,347 --> 00:44:27,427
Speaker 2: That's six down. That's the issue. They're in the in

913
00:44:27,467 --> 00:44:30,907
Speaker 2: the twenty ninth over as we speak and the New

914
00:44:30,987 --> 00:44:33,387
Speaker 2: Zealand Golf Open. The leaders as you heard from Andrew

915
00:44:33,467 --> 00:44:37,587
Speaker 2: Ordison during our news at one just heeing off Goodtuco

916
00:44:37,827 --> 00:44:40,187
Speaker 2: is twenty two under, a four shot lead from the

917
00:44:40,227 --> 00:44:43,627
Speaker 2: Australian Ryan Peak at eighteen under and a group of

918
00:44:43,667 --> 00:44:47,667
Speaker 2: four players at seventeen under the card. The leading key

919
00:44:47,667 --> 00:44:49,387
Speaker 2: we right at the moment is Sam Jones. He's a

920
00:44:49,387 --> 00:44:52,187
Speaker 2: shot further back in a tie for seventh at sixteen

921
00:44:52,307 --> 00:44:56,587
Speaker 2: under the card. Daniel Hillier is fourteen under. Andrew Ordison

922
00:44:56,667 --> 00:45:01,987
Speaker 2: from Milbrook this hour also James mcconey in his regular slot,

923
00:45:02,027 --> 00:45:04,787
Speaker 2: but we're going to start the hour with a little

924
00:45:04,787 --> 00:45:07,707
Speaker 2: bit of Super rugby because the Blues are on the board.

925
00:45:08,067 --> 00:45:10,307
Speaker 2: In Super Rugby twenty twenty five.

926
00:45:10,307 --> 00:45:12,307
Speaker 19: Taken on the ground ten meter Mark bear it up

927
00:45:12,347 --> 00:45:14,707
Speaker 19: from fullback. Here comes a j lamb giving away to

928
00:45:14,787 --> 00:45:17,707
Speaker 19: Mark Tahalia. The alarm bells are rigging for the canes

929
00:45:17,747 --> 00:45:18,827
Speaker 19: and then now Mark Dahlia.

930
00:45:19,227 --> 00:45:20,587
Speaker 4: Oh, here he goes.

931
00:45:21,067 --> 00:45:22,587
Speaker 6: The alarm bells are rigging.

932
00:45:22,747 --> 00:45:25,147
Speaker 19: Mark Tahlia are sensational dry.

933
00:45:25,627 --> 00:45:26,867
Speaker 6: They've gone from.

934
00:45:26,907 --> 00:45:31,187
Speaker 19: Seventy meters downfield. Barrett started it. They came across the field.

935
00:45:31,187 --> 00:45:34,707
Speaker 19: The white paster Tahlia, he's set up and he went

936
00:45:34,827 --> 00:45:39,027
Speaker 19: in out around the parachute, dive in the corner. Fantastic

937
00:45:39,187 --> 00:45:41,987
Speaker 19: dry from the all backwinger. They've gotten themselves back in

938
00:45:42,067 --> 00:45:44,947
Speaker 19: front the Blues league. The referee said we've had enough.

939
00:45:45,107 --> 00:45:47,307
Speaker 19: The Blues will take the points here. They have beaten

940
00:45:47,347 --> 00:45:50,547
Speaker 19: the home side by thirty three points to twenty nine.

941
00:45:50,867 --> 00:45:54,627
Speaker 2: Terrifix stuff from Ross Bond and the commentary box last night. Yes,

942
00:45:54,707 --> 00:45:57,867
Speaker 2: the Blues on the board in twenty twenty five after

943
00:45:57,947 --> 00:46:00,787
Speaker 2: two losses to open their season. They have come from

944
00:46:00,827 --> 00:46:03,587
Speaker 2: twenty nine to twenty one down in the second half

945
00:46:03,947 --> 00:46:07,387
Speaker 2: to beat the Hurricanes thirty three twenty nine at Sky

946
00:46:07,507 --> 00:46:11,627
Speaker 2: Stadium in Wellington. Were joined by Blues assistant coach Paul Tito. Paul,

947
00:46:11,667 --> 00:46:14,067
Speaker 2: thanks for taking our call. How important was it for

948
00:46:14,147 --> 00:46:16,107
Speaker 2: you to get on the board last night with a

949
00:46:16,147 --> 00:46:19,107
Speaker 2: win after going zero and two to start the season.

950
00:46:20,907 --> 00:46:22,907
Speaker 9: Yeah, a big result that we needed that as a group.

951
00:46:23,547 --> 00:46:27,867
Speaker 9: You know, we've been struggling along and not hitting our straps.

952
00:46:27,907 --> 00:46:31,787
Speaker 9: Not that we hit our strips fully last down in Wellington,

953
00:46:31,867 --> 00:46:36,827
Speaker 9: but it's definitely a big improvement and when they will

954
00:46:36,827 --> 00:46:38,827
Speaker 9: look to bull from the next couple of weeks.

955
00:46:38,707 --> 00:46:41,427
Speaker 2: Which areas in particular, did you think you weren't quite

956
00:46:41,787 --> 00:46:44,427
Speaker 2: hitting the straps of early on and maybe even still

957
00:46:44,467 --> 00:46:46,387
Speaker 2: as you say, have some work to do on.

958
00:46:48,507 --> 00:46:50,867
Speaker 9: No, I just had a clision based game May and

959
00:46:50,907 --> 00:46:52,587
Speaker 9: we've you know, we've got a lot of guys coming

960
00:46:52,627 --> 00:46:56,587
Speaker 9: back and its really a little bit undercooked to be fair.

961
00:46:56,667 --> 00:47:02,307
Speaker 9: But you know, we look like at times last night,

962
00:47:02,347 --> 00:47:04,267
Speaker 9: you know, we looked like the Blues of old where

963
00:47:04,267 --> 00:47:07,387
Speaker 9: we were nice and physical and up working hard for

964
00:47:07,427 --> 00:47:10,187
Speaker 9: each other. So you know, he's got to keep improving

965
00:47:10,227 --> 00:47:13,787
Speaker 9: in those a couple of key areas and and get

966
00:47:13,827 --> 00:47:14,707
Speaker 9: back to work on Monday.

967
00:47:14,827 --> 00:47:17,307
Speaker 2: Yeah, Vern kinda spoke after the game last night about

968
00:47:17,307 --> 00:47:19,907
Speaker 2: doing some of the things better that you've been working

969
00:47:19,907 --> 00:47:23,107
Speaker 2: all really hard in training. What other things do you

970
00:47:23,107 --> 00:47:24,747
Speaker 2: think you had better last night, Paul, You talked about

971
00:47:24,747 --> 00:47:27,427
Speaker 2: the collision areas without other things that that you Vern

972
00:47:27,467 --> 00:47:29,267
Speaker 2: and the others were particularly happy with.

973
00:47:30,587 --> 00:47:32,747
Speaker 9: Yeah, I thought the scrum was really good last night.

974
00:47:33,467 --> 00:47:36,307
Speaker 9: No of the challenge laid down to the group around that,

975
00:47:36,547 --> 00:47:41,427
Speaker 9: so it was good to see that operating. Well. You know,

976
00:47:41,427 --> 00:47:43,587
Speaker 9: I still a line out that that's shake you from

977
00:47:43,587 --> 00:47:45,747
Speaker 9: me for my liking, we need to be better in

978
00:47:45,787 --> 00:47:48,907
Speaker 9: that space. So, you know, just a couple of areas

979
00:47:48,947 --> 00:47:51,387
Speaker 9: that we need to iron out. So we're so we're

980
00:47:51,427 --> 00:47:52,307
Speaker 9: heading in the right direction.

981
00:47:52,707 --> 00:47:55,107
Speaker 2: Late in the game, you're four points ahead, you're down

982
00:47:55,147 --> 00:47:57,507
Speaker 2: to fourteen men, you've got a second five on the

983
00:47:57,507 --> 00:47:59,827
Speaker 2: side of the scrum boat and Barrett's feeding the ball,

984
00:47:59,907 --> 00:48:03,787
Speaker 2: and any nervous moments really late on last night.

985
00:48:05,787 --> 00:48:07,947
Speaker 9: It's not spot to be to be there and the

986
00:48:07,987 --> 00:48:12,747
Speaker 9: coach's box that yeah, hey, you know, it's just one

987
00:48:12,787 --> 00:48:16,787
Speaker 9: of those things. Sam went off and you know, I

988
00:48:16,787 --> 00:48:20,987
Speaker 9: mean like he's got a pretty swallen eye, and you know,

989
00:48:21,187 --> 00:48:24,587
Speaker 9: like he's he said, a good knock and they aren't

990
00:48:24,547 --> 00:48:28,027
Speaker 9: allowed to go as hi A. So yeah, that'll come

991
00:48:28,067 --> 00:48:30,227
Speaker 9: out in the wash, I'm sure, but you know it

992
00:48:30,307 --> 00:48:33,707
Speaker 9: is what it is, and you've got adapt and you

993
00:48:33,747 --> 00:48:37,347
Speaker 9: know we managed to hang on and enjoy the win.

994
00:48:38,267 --> 00:48:40,147
Speaker 2: Can you just unpack that a little bit for us,

995
00:48:40,147 --> 00:48:42,627
Speaker 2: because so Sam not got to got a whack to

996
00:48:42,667 --> 00:48:44,947
Speaker 2: the head. As you say, he's got a swollen eye.

997
00:48:45,347 --> 00:48:48,267
Speaker 2: So under hi A rules he can be replaced and

998
00:48:48,267 --> 00:48:51,867
Speaker 2: this often let Christy go on as an intended replacement

999
00:48:51,907 --> 00:48:54,827
Speaker 2: for him. But then what the independent doctor then said

1000
00:48:55,067 --> 00:48:57,387
Speaker 2: that that's not an h i A. Is that how

1001
00:48:57,387 --> 00:48:57,947
Speaker 2: it played out?

1002
00:48:59,547 --> 00:49:02,267
Speaker 9: That's what it looked like to me, you know, that's

1003
00:49:02,307 --> 00:49:05,267
Speaker 9: all the kuffle was on the sideline around. Is it

1004
00:49:05,307 --> 00:49:08,667
Speaker 9: an h i A or we playing silly buggers to

1005
00:49:08,667 --> 00:49:13,587
Speaker 9: get him back on? You know I can And at

1006
00:49:13,587 --> 00:49:16,667
Speaker 9: the end of the day, the Mashday doctor made the

1007
00:49:16,707 --> 00:49:21,707
Speaker 9: call and we couldn't replace us. We couldn't put some

1008
00:49:21,987 --> 00:49:24,827
Speaker 9: back on for Sam because he thought it was an injury.

1009
00:49:24,947 --> 00:49:27,307
Speaker 2: So you weren't playing s You went playing silly Buggers.

1010
00:49:28,547 --> 00:49:31,307
Speaker 6: No, Mark that.

1011
00:49:32,787 --> 00:49:34,467
Speaker 9: Mark Dele what a t Yeah, I.

1012
00:49:34,427 --> 00:49:35,907
Speaker 2: Was gonna ask you, I mean, do you do you

1013
00:49:35,947 --> 00:49:38,067
Speaker 2: even get surprised anymore when you see him do things

1014
00:49:38,187 --> 00:49:38,547
Speaker 2: like that?

1015
00:49:40,067 --> 00:49:40,507
Speaker 14: Oh?

1016
00:49:40,587 --> 00:49:42,387
Speaker 9: That was that was right up there.

1017
00:49:42,707 --> 00:49:43,427
Speaker 8: I reckon.

1018
00:49:44,867 --> 00:49:47,907
Speaker 9: Great to see him back and square of finishing off

1019
00:49:47,947 --> 00:49:50,547
Speaker 9: those opportunities. It was a great. Now we caught that

1020
00:49:50,627 --> 00:49:52,747
Speaker 9: ball in the twenty two Brady brought her back and

1021
00:49:52,827 --> 00:49:56,267
Speaker 9: got the ball white Caleb and a couple of nice

1022
00:49:56,267 --> 00:49:58,547
Speaker 9: phases and nice couple of touches from a couple of

1023
00:49:58,707 --> 00:50:02,067
Speaker 9: young guys, and you know the world class finish of

1024
00:50:02,147 --> 00:50:06,107
Speaker 9: that Markers, well, we've all seen it before and it

1025
00:50:06,227 --> 00:50:07,067
Speaker 9: was beautiful thing.

1026
00:50:07,867 --> 00:50:11,867
Speaker 2: Boden Barrett has moved into first five in the second

1027
00:50:11,907 --> 00:50:14,987
Speaker 2: half scene crucial. Do you think we'll see him start

1028
00:50:15,227 --> 00:50:16,867
Speaker 2: at first five at some stage soon?

1029
00:50:19,267 --> 00:50:22,507
Speaker 9: And we've got some quality ten stevieps not far away.

1030
00:50:23,147 --> 00:50:27,067
Speaker 9: You know, they will get the opportunity, Harry and Stevie

1031
00:50:27,147 --> 00:50:29,787
Speaker 9: and Body, they will get opportunity at ten.

1032
00:50:31,227 --> 00:50:31,387
Speaker 6: You know.

1033
00:50:31,427 --> 00:50:33,307
Speaker 9: I just worry about the small numbers and make sure

1034
00:50:33,347 --> 00:50:36,027
Speaker 9: that we're making sure that we're doing things better each

1035
00:50:36,067 --> 00:50:38,427
Speaker 9: week so we can grow this team and be a

1036
00:50:38,467 --> 00:50:42,147
Speaker 9: force to be written with in the next few weeks.

1037
00:50:42,467 --> 00:50:45,907
Speaker 2: Well, the biggest of the small numbers Hoskins STUTU late

1038
00:50:45,987 --> 00:50:48,347
Speaker 2: yellow card, which was upgraded on field to a red

1039
00:50:48,827 --> 00:50:50,587
Speaker 2: I've had a couple of red cards and Super Rugby

1040
00:50:50,627 --> 00:50:53,027
Speaker 2: so far this season they've both ended up with three

1041
00:50:53,067 --> 00:50:55,867
Speaker 2: game bands. Do you expect to lose Hoskins for that

1042
00:50:55,987 --> 00:50:56,547
Speaker 2: length of time?

1043
00:50:58,907 --> 00:51:02,027
Speaker 9: Yeah, it looks that's a pretty standard procedure they're going with.

1044
00:51:02,227 --> 00:51:07,627
Speaker 9: It looks like it, yeah, you I mean, I haven't

1045
00:51:07,627 --> 00:51:09,867
Speaker 9: had a real good look at it, but it didn't

1046
00:51:10,307 --> 00:51:12,867
Speaker 9: you know. I mean, they're looking pretty similar, aren't they.

1047
00:51:12,947 --> 00:51:15,347
Speaker 9: So he might have a couple of weeks.

1048
00:51:16,227 --> 00:51:18,547
Speaker 2: Does the game seem a lot faster to you this year?

1049
00:51:20,707 --> 00:51:22,307
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the roosts are doing a good job

1050
00:51:22,347 --> 00:51:24,947
Speaker 9: in that space. I think that's just they're not allowing

1051
00:51:24,987 --> 00:51:28,067
Speaker 9: the injured guy to be seen. You know, they're playing

1052
00:51:28,107 --> 00:51:32,347
Speaker 9: on and it's created allder fatigue. I know the boys

1053
00:51:32,347 --> 00:51:36,827
Speaker 9: that we're having to work hard and there's opportunity laden games.

1054
00:51:36,827 --> 00:51:38,587
Speaker 9: I reckon there's a lot of points are being scored

1055
00:51:38,667 --> 00:51:39,707
Speaker 9: laden games due to this.

1056
00:51:41,307 --> 00:51:43,667
Speaker 2: You've had a really tough start to the season, Paul.

1057
00:51:43,707 --> 00:51:46,187
Speaker 2: With the Blues. In fact, you're the only New Zealand

1058
00:51:46,187 --> 00:51:49,347
Speaker 2: team who's had three New Zealand Derbies to start and

1059
00:51:49,387 --> 00:51:51,787
Speaker 2: you've got a short turn around now before you face

1060
00:51:51,787 --> 00:51:54,267
Speaker 2: the Brumbies on Friday night back at Eden Park. How

1061
00:51:54,347 --> 00:51:57,787
Speaker 2: much of a physical toll does three straight New Zealand

1062
00:51:57,867 --> 00:52:01,147
Speaker 2: Derbies take on on, particularly the Blakes. You look after

1063
00:52:01,187 --> 00:52:05,787
Speaker 2: the forwards, we.

1064
00:52:05,747 --> 00:52:08,787
Speaker 9: Don't make excuse today where where the competition is the

1065
00:52:08,827 --> 00:52:13,067
Speaker 9: competition that draws the drawer and that's all, that's the

1066
00:52:13,107 --> 00:52:16,347
Speaker 9: cards that we're dealt. So I'm at hand. We're going

1067
00:52:16,427 --> 00:52:19,267
Speaker 9: to make sure that we recover well, we're smart at training,

1068
00:52:19,867 --> 00:52:22,827
Speaker 9: We're doing enough at training. But you know, we're making

1069
00:52:22,827 --> 00:52:25,947
Speaker 9: sure that the boys are fresh going into Friday night

1070
00:52:27,667 --> 00:52:32,587
Speaker 9: and really motivated to represent the Blues and making sure

1071
00:52:32,627 --> 00:52:35,227
Speaker 9: that we're performing on the weekends.

1072
00:52:35,507 --> 00:52:38,147
Speaker 2: Are they physically tougher games though? The Derbies?

1073
00:52:39,627 --> 00:52:42,427
Speaker 9: Oh, the Derbies are crazy. You know you look last night,

1074
00:52:42,467 --> 00:52:46,307
Speaker 9: these I mean these injury wards everywhere from from us

1075
00:52:46,387 --> 00:52:48,547
Speaker 9: to the Hurricanes has got a massive injury told at

1076
00:52:48,547 --> 00:52:52,307
Speaker 9: the moment, and it's just the next guy has got

1077
00:52:52,347 --> 00:52:57,267
Speaker 9: to be ready because it's physical and it's demanding, and

1078
00:52:58,147 --> 00:52:59,107
Speaker 9: it's it's tough work.

1079
00:52:59,787 --> 00:53:01,307
Speaker 2: And I know you've been gone for a while now

1080
00:53:01,307 --> 00:53:04,427
Speaker 2: that you represented the Hurricanes with great pride for you know,

1081
00:53:04,547 --> 00:53:07,187
Speaker 2: for close to a decade start of the two thousands,

1082
00:53:07,187 --> 00:53:08,427
Speaker 2: do you still like going back there?

1083
00:53:10,427 --> 00:53:11,987
Speaker 9: Yeah? I do him. You know, I've coached a lot

1084
00:53:12,027 --> 00:53:14,947
Speaker 9: of those guys with the Lions when I was down there,

1085
00:53:14,987 --> 00:53:17,987
Speaker 9: so you know, there's a mess of respect from from

1086
00:53:18,027 --> 00:53:22,867
Speaker 9: both teams, and hey, we're undern illusion that that game

1087
00:53:22,907 --> 00:53:26,187
Speaker 9: could have gone either way last night, so there's there's

1088
00:53:26,227 --> 00:53:29,507
Speaker 9: a lot of respect there and but definitely loved getting

1089
00:53:29,587 --> 00:53:32,747
Speaker 9: down there and taking home the points.

1090
00:53:33,107 --> 00:53:36,707
Speaker 2: Better nights sleep last night than the previous two games.

1091
00:53:36,787 --> 00:53:39,747
Speaker 9: Nice to wake up with a win. She's been a

1092
00:53:39,747 --> 00:53:42,147
Speaker 9: tough couple of weeks, but it's footy.

1093
00:53:41,867 --> 00:53:43,787
Speaker 2: Sometimes, Paul, thanks for chatting to us.

1094
00:53:43,787 --> 00:53:43,907
Speaker 18: Mate.

1095
00:53:43,907 --> 00:53:45,667
Speaker 2: You're probably gonna go watch the Warriors, so thanks for

1096
00:53:45,947 --> 00:53:50,267
Speaker 2: thanks for taking the time for a chat. You too, Paul,

1097
00:53:50,267 --> 00:53:53,987
Speaker 2: Thank you mate. Cheers Paul Title. There are Blues assistant

1098
00:53:54,027 --> 00:53:56,707
Speaker 2: coach in charge of the forwards your hoskins, Soituto. I

1099
00:53:56,747 --> 00:53:59,267
Speaker 2: think that's a three week A three week stint on

1100
00:53:59,307 --> 00:54:02,027
Speaker 2: the sidelines for him doesn't seem to be any mitigation.

1101
00:54:02,347 --> 00:54:05,547
Speaker 2: He's gone into the tackle in an upright position, spotted

1102
00:54:05,547 --> 00:54:08,107
Speaker 2: straight away on the field as a yellow card, and

1103
00:54:08,107 --> 00:54:11,987
Speaker 2: then upgraded while the game was going on to a red.

1104
00:54:12,627 --> 00:54:15,187
Speaker 2: So yeah, I kind of get the feeling that Hoskin

1105
00:54:15,227 --> 00:54:17,947
Speaker 2: Setutu might have to set out the next three. That's

1106
00:54:17,987 --> 00:54:20,107
Speaker 2: basically been the case we've had. As I said to Paul,

1107
00:54:20,107 --> 00:54:23,867
Speaker 2: there two red cards so far this season, and both

1108
00:54:23,867 --> 00:54:28,227
Speaker 2: of those have have resulted in three week bands. I'm

1109
00:54:28,227 --> 00:54:31,747
Speaker 2: just trying to find the exact information here. I saw

1110
00:54:31,787 --> 00:54:35,467
Speaker 2: the stat earlier, and yeah, it feels as though that's

1111
00:54:35,987 --> 00:54:39,547
Speaker 2: the situation. Yeh, Hunter Pay Sami and Daniel Lennart Brown

1112
00:54:39,587 --> 00:54:42,147
Speaker 2: were the two players red midfield a hunt to pay

1113
00:54:42,187 --> 00:54:45,267
Speaker 2: Sami and Highlanders prop Daniel Lennet Brown. They both got

1114
00:54:45,267 --> 00:54:46,867
Speaker 2: red cards and both got three week bands. So I

1115
00:54:46,907 --> 00:54:51,067
Speaker 2: think that's the situation as far as the fate of

1116
00:54:51,107 --> 00:54:55,387
Speaker 2: Hoskin Stutu is concerned. Without wanting to pre empt anything,

1117
00:54:56,307 --> 00:54:58,307
Speaker 2: oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty ken to chatta

1118
00:54:58,307 --> 00:55:00,307
Speaker 2: bit of rugby with you, anything that stood out in

1119
00:55:00,347 --> 00:55:02,387
Speaker 2: a round three, particularly that game last night, I think

1120
00:55:02,387 --> 00:55:05,827
Speaker 2: the Hurricanes will probably look at it as an opportunity

1121
00:55:05,867 --> 00:55:09,987
Speaker 2: lost one. It got away. They were in front by

1122
00:55:10,067 --> 00:55:13,387
Speaker 2: twenty nine points to twenty one with twelve minutes to go,

1123
00:55:13,587 --> 00:55:16,227
Speaker 2: Hoskinstitutu before he got the yellow cart actually scored a

1124
00:55:16,227 --> 00:55:19,867
Speaker 2: try that brought it back to twenty nine twenty eight

1125
00:55:19,907 --> 00:55:23,507
Speaker 2: once Bote and Barrett converted it, and then the acrobatics

1126
00:55:24,307 --> 00:55:27,707
Speaker 2: in the corner from Mark to Layer. You forget just

1127
00:55:27,747 --> 00:55:30,067
Speaker 2: how good he is in situations like that. He's very much.

1128
00:55:31,067 --> 00:55:34,027
Speaker 2: He's like Dellan why tennis Aleisniak, isn't he In situations

1129
00:55:34,107 --> 00:55:36,707
Speaker 2: like that, Being able to beat a player on the

1130
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:40,107
Speaker 2: outside and then even with covered of fence coming across,

1131
00:55:40,667 --> 00:55:42,987
Speaker 2: take to the air and get the ball down for

1132
00:55:43,067 --> 00:55:46,587
Speaker 2: what was eventually the winning try in the game was

1133
00:55:46,987 --> 00:55:49,707
Speaker 2: quite something. So yeah, Mark t Layer was a big

1134
00:55:49,747 --> 00:55:52,147
Speaker 2: part of that last night. But yeah, the Blues, they

1135
00:55:52,187 --> 00:55:53,987
Speaker 2: wouldn't have wanted to go oh and three, would they.

1136
00:55:54,267 --> 00:55:57,267
Speaker 2: I'm not saying there are Crusaders of twenty twenty four

1137
00:55:57,707 --> 00:56:00,867
Speaker 2: proposition by any stretch of the imagination. When you look

1138
00:56:00,867 --> 00:56:03,147
Speaker 2: at the Crusaders, what seven straight titles and then last

1139
00:56:03,187 --> 00:56:05,427
Speaker 2: year didn't even make the top eight and went on

1140
00:56:05,467 --> 00:56:08,387
Speaker 2: that terrible run to start their season. The Blues, I

1141
00:56:08,387 --> 00:56:11,547
Speaker 2: don't know, it doesn't feel the same to me, they

1142
00:56:11,547 --> 00:56:13,827
Speaker 2: feel like a team who Yeah, they've had a tough

1143
00:56:13,827 --> 00:56:16,267
Speaker 2: start to the season, but I think they're going to

1144
00:56:16,347 --> 00:56:19,067
Speaker 2: be okay. They've got the Brumbies next on Friday night

1145
00:56:19,107 --> 00:56:22,467
Speaker 2: to open Round four, then away at the chief so

1146
00:56:22,467 --> 00:56:24,307
Speaker 2: it actually it's a really tough start for them and

1147
00:56:24,387 --> 00:56:28,227
Speaker 2: the Crusaders. So the Blues have been handed such a

1148
00:56:28,347 --> 00:56:31,667
Speaker 2: tough first six weeks to this comp and with the

1149
00:56:31,667 --> 00:56:34,187
Speaker 2: game being so much faster, are you noticing that? It

1150
00:56:34,307 --> 00:56:36,987
Speaker 2: just seems to me every game I watch of Super

1151
00:56:37,027 --> 00:56:41,547
Speaker 2: Rugby is just so quick, and full credit to the

1152
00:56:41,587 --> 00:56:44,427
Speaker 2: referees for letting it be that way. Angus Gardner and

1153
00:56:44,507 --> 00:56:48,147
Speaker 2: Charged last night slightly different interpretations of a couple of

1154
00:56:48,867 --> 00:56:51,987
Speaker 2: instances there last night, I think from Angus Gardner, but

1155
00:56:52,027 --> 00:56:55,907
Speaker 2: he's still a world class referee. But the games are

1156
00:56:55,947 --> 00:57:00,307
Speaker 2: just absolutely flowing, and the scorelines would tell you that

1157
00:57:01,027 --> 00:57:02,787
Speaker 2: Highland has been in my to Pacifica thirty one to

1158
00:57:02,787 --> 00:57:05,187
Speaker 2: twenty nine Friday night. Then the Warratar is getting ahead,

1159
00:57:05,307 --> 00:57:08,027
Speaker 2: getting over the draw nine twenty four yesterday the Chiefs.

1160
00:57:08,347 --> 00:57:12,027
Speaker 2: I haven't forgotten the Chiefs still favorites for mine forty

1161
00:57:12,107 --> 00:57:14,347
Speaker 2: nine to thirty four over the Brumbies, although I see

1162
00:57:14,387 --> 00:57:16,907
Speaker 2: Damien McKenzie went off with what looked like a leg injury.

1163
00:57:16,947 --> 00:57:18,747
Speaker 2: Whether that's serious or not, I guess we'll find out

1164
00:57:18,747 --> 00:57:20,787
Speaker 2: this week, but that would be a big blow he

1165
00:57:20,867 --> 00:57:22,267
Speaker 2: was to have to sit out for a bit. But

1166
00:57:23,267 --> 00:57:26,707
Speaker 2: again he very nearly scored one of the tries of

1167
00:57:26,747 --> 00:57:29,987
Speaker 2: the season even in round three, scything through and just

1168
00:57:29,987 --> 00:57:33,267
Speaker 2: getting chopped down near the line. Damien mackenzie to remind

1169
00:57:33,347 --> 00:57:35,867
Speaker 2: us all again of his class. Hurricanes twenty nine Blues

1170
00:57:35,907 --> 00:57:38,547
Speaker 2: thirty three, and then late last night the Reds getting

1171
00:57:38,627 --> 00:57:43,627
Speaker 2: home against the previously unbeaten Force. The Reads themselves, who

1172
00:57:43,627 --> 00:57:45,467
Speaker 2: had the buy in week one, have now gone back

1173
00:57:45,507 --> 00:57:48,507
Speaker 2: to back with wins to be two from two. They

1174
00:57:48,547 --> 00:57:52,067
Speaker 2: next head to christ Church next Sunday afternoon for a

1175
00:57:52,107 --> 00:57:54,707
Speaker 2: game against the Crusaders, which already is shaping up as

1176
00:57:54,787 --> 00:57:59,147
Speaker 2: an intriguing prospect. Just to finish on the Hurricanes Blues

1177
00:57:59,227 --> 00:58:02,267
Speaker 2: game out Sideline Ie in Wellington on Goldsport and iHeartRadio,

1178
00:58:02,347 --> 00:58:05,627
Speaker 2: Matthew Buck had a quick chat to Bowden Barrett after

1179
00:58:05,667 --> 00:58:08,627
Speaker 2: the game, with the Blues sewing up the win over

1180
00:58:08,667 --> 00:58:10,107
Speaker 2: his former team the Hurricanes.

1181
00:58:10,547 --> 00:58:12,987
Speaker 18: Just a question from Dominic Burn and Rosbond and in

1182
00:58:13,027 --> 00:58:15,747
Speaker 18: the heart had enjoy halfback that last feed into the scrum.

1183
00:58:16,027 --> 00:58:17,867
Speaker 16: Last time I played, I was year ten at school

1184
00:58:17,947 --> 00:58:21,227
Speaker 16: and remember snapping a droppy from the ruck in a

1185
00:58:21,787 --> 00:58:24,547
Speaker 16: d Gold final for France. Douglas, I need to work

1186
00:58:24,547 --> 00:58:28,307
Speaker 16: in my squad on my feet, I think. But ohjeez,

1187
00:58:28,547 --> 00:58:34,787
Speaker 16: there was a gutsy effort.

1188
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:33,387
Speaker 2: To fires one of the season.

1189
00:58:33,387 --> 00:58:36,747
Speaker 18: You've got to be relieved, Yeah, a lot of relief.

1190
00:58:36,787 --> 00:58:38,147
Speaker 2: We needed to show some.

1191
00:58:39,467 --> 00:58:44,867
Speaker 16: Patience, some trust and the belief will find it.

1192
00:58:45,747 --> 00:58:47,427
Speaker 2: We know how to do it, so that game will

1193
00:58:47,427 --> 00:58:48,147
Speaker 2: mean a lot for us.

1194
00:58:48,467 --> 00:58:50,147
Speaker 18: You've got some quality players on this team, and the

1195
00:58:50,227 --> 00:58:52,627
Speaker 18: quality really stood out, probably in that last we won't

1196
00:58:52,627 --> 00:58:54,467
Speaker 18: say three minutes because that was a bit of a shambles,

1197
00:58:54,467 --> 00:58:57,107
Speaker 18: but the last ten minutes prior to that you went behind,

1198
00:58:57,147 --> 00:58:59,467
Speaker 18: but then you stepped in at ten, the great shift

1199
00:58:59,827 --> 00:59:01,947
Speaker 18: from Caleb Plaker then to lead the score in the corner.

1200
00:59:03,787 --> 00:59:05,547
Speaker 18: The good players really stood up at the end. That

1201
00:59:05,707 --> 00:59:07,787
Speaker 18: that's something you haven't found in the first two games.

1202
00:59:08,627 --> 00:59:12,547
Speaker 16: We haven't really found much cohesion our way of playing

1203
00:59:12,547 --> 00:59:16,987
Speaker 16: the game. We train it and we're getting there for sure,

1204
00:59:17,027 --> 00:59:20,947
Speaker 16: But I tell them how to wrap it up it's

1205
00:59:21,027 --> 00:59:23,307
Speaker 16: just a start. That game meant a lot to us.

1206
00:59:23,467 --> 00:59:25,107
Speaker 16: We really didn't need a win head tone and we

1207
00:59:25,107 --> 00:59:25,667
Speaker 16: were desperate.

1208
00:59:25,907 --> 00:59:27,867
Speaker 18: And finally, Buddy, were your nervous teams a lot when

1209
00:59:27,907 --> 00:59:29,867
Speaker 18: you came to Skoy Stadium.

1210
00:59:30,187 --> 00:59:34,507
Speaker 16: There are all sorts of emotions who were desperate. I

1211
00:59:34,507 --> 00:59:38,467
Speaker 16: think there were parts there where we were trying and

1212
00:59:38,947 --> 00:59:42,747
Speaker 16: we really had to look at ourselves. Connections were tested.

1213
00:59:42,787 --> 00:59:44,947
Speaker 16: But that game will mean a lot for us. We

1214
00:59:44,947 --> 00:59:47,147
Speaker 16: had to dig deep and just trust each other.

1215
00:59:47,307 --> 00:59:48,907
Speaker 18: And I ask you one more question in the Australian

1216
00:59:48,907 --> 00:59:51,187
Speaker 18: referee tonight, was it refereed any differently than the first

1217
00:59:51,227 --> 00:59:53,667
Speaker 18: two games? Do you think three four yellow cards, a

1218
00:59:53,747 --> 00:59:55,507
Speaker 18: red card in the end, a lot of penalties, a

1219
00:59:55,507 --> 00:59:56,427
Speaker 18: lot of advantages.

1220
00:59:56,667 --> 00:59:57,547
Speaker 2: What did you make of that?

1221
00:59:57,987 --> 01:00:00,307
Speaker 18: I don't want to angers Garden's good refree, but did

1222
01:00:00,387 --> 01:00:01,547
Speaker 18: you feel it was different tonight?

1223
01:00:02,147 --> 01:00:05,387
Speaker 16: We felt after forty minutes the referee was certainly favoring

1224
01:00:05,387 --> 01:00:06,107
Speaker 16: the attacking team.

1225
01:00:06,627 --> 01:00:08,027
Speaker 2: Playing territory was important.

1226
01:00:08,987 --> 01:00:11,467
Speaker 16: The kickbatter was an interesting one today with these conditions

1227
01:00:11,507 --> 01:00:14,787
Speaker 16: which I know well some of it can be a lottery,

1228
01:00:14,867 --> 01:00:18,987
Speaker 16: but look he's a world class referee. It's about playing

1229
01:00:19,027 --> 01:00:21,307
Speaker 16: to the ref in some games because of the way

1230
01:00:21,347 --> 01:00:24,107
Speaker 16: they interpret it and we have to adapt.

1231
01:00:24,507 --> 01:00:25,587
Speaker 18: Thanks for your time on on tonight.

1232
01:00:25,587 --> 01:00:25,827
Speaker 5: Thank you.

1233
01:00:25,947 --> 01:00:29,187
Speaker 2: That is Boden Barratt speaking to our Sideline eight in Wellington.

1234
01:00:29,187 --> 01:00:33,067
Speaker 2: Matt barks some interesting interesting responses there, particularly around that

1235
01:00:33,427 --> 01:00:37,027
Speaker 2: last one there that when you've got the ball you

1236
01:00:37,187 --> 01:00:39,027
Speaker 2: might just get the rubb of the green from the referees,

1237
01:00:39,107 --> 01:00:42,867
Speaker 2: or maybe that's just Angus Gardner's interpretation of it. Peter

1238
01:00:42,987 --> 01:00:46,947
Speaker 2: on Tex says Knesby Blues lack of patience costing the

1239
01:00:46,987 --> 01:00:49,187
Speaker 2: Canes this game. When they were on the Blues line

1240
01:00:49,467 --> 01:00:52,307
Speaker 2: in the final minutes, Naholo dived over the ruck, which

1241
01:00:52,347 --> 01:00:55,867
Speaker 2: is illegal. He got penalized a little more. He should

1242
01:00:55,867 --> 01:00:58,147
Speaker 2: have known that they could easily have scored had they

1243
01:00:58,187 --> 01:01:00,747
Speaker 2: been a bit more patient. The Blues down to fourteen,

1244
01:01:00,867 --> 01:01:03,587
Speaker 2: less defense, the Cane's got another line out five meters out.

1245
01:01:03,907 --> 01:01:06,347
Speaker 2: Instead of being patient again, they went wide. God isolated

1246
01:01:06,387 --> 01:01:08,627
Speaker 2: had knocked on. These were the reasons the Blues won,

1247
01:01:09,067 --> 01:01:10,907
Speaker 2: which had they lost, would have put them under big

1248
01:01:10,947 --> 01:01:14,427
Speaker 2: pressure for the rest of the competition. Very frustrating from

1249
01:01:14,507 --> 01:01:17,747
Speaker 2: McCain's fans point of view. Thank you, Peter, good wrap

1250
01:01:17,787 --> 01:01:20,667
Speaker 2: from you. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty if

1251
01:01:20,707 --> 01:01:22,627
Speaker 2: you'd like to add your two cents worth to the

1252
01:01:22,627 --> 01:01:25,187
Speaker 2: conversation around Super Rugby nine two nine to two one

1253
01:01:25,187 --> 01:01:29,907
Speaker 2: text in Las Vegas. We're about midway through the first half.

1254
01:01:29,947 --> 01:01:33,107
Speaker 2: Canberra lead the Warriors by six points to milk converted

1255
01:01:33,187 --> 01:01:36,907
Speaker 2: trite has them in front by six nil as we've

1256
01:01:36,907 --> 01:01:40,307
Speaker 2: had twenty two minutes in that game. To other live

1257
01:01:40,347 --> 01:01:44,107
Speaker 2: sport happening around the place. The Ford Trophy Final in Dunedin.

1258
01:01:44,547 --> 01:01:46,947
Speaker 2: One hundred and forty seven for six Auckland in the

1259
01:01:46,987 --> 01:01:52,467
Speaker 2: thirty fourth over with Simon Keene holding things up. He's

1260
01:01:52,627 --> 01:01:54,747
Speaker 2: none more for his seam bowling, although he is batting

1261
01:01:54,787 --> 01:01:57,547
Speaker 2: seven so he can clearly hold one forty eight not

1262
01:01:57,667 --> 01:02:00,427
Speaker 2: out of the same number of deliveries, joined by Lockey

1263
01:02:00,467 --> 01:02:03,507
Speaker 2: Stackpole who's nineteen not out of twenty nine. So they're

1264
01:02:03,587 --> 01:02:07,027
Speaker 2: just shoving green shoots of promise. But yeah, one hundred

1265
01:02:07,027 --> 01:02:09,227
Speaker 2: and forty eight for six, what would they be targeting

1266
01:02:09,227 --> 01:02:11,987
Speaker 2: from there to forty Maybe if they can hold wickets

1267
01:02:12,147 --> 01:02:14,907
Speaker 2: might not be enough for a fairly strong sort of

1268
01:02:14,947 --> 01:02:20,067
Speaker 2: a Canterbury batting lineup. Henry Nichols is there, Mitch Hay

1269
01:02:20,187 --> 01:02:24,107
Speaker 2: comcconki and others who can all bat pretty well, but

1270
01:02:24,267 --> 01:02:25,747
Speaker 2: we'll keep eyes on it for you. One hundred and

1271
01:02:25,787 --> 01:02:28,667
Speaker 2: forty eight for six in the thirty fourth over. The

1272
01:02:28,747 --> 01:02:32,067
Speaker 2: other big live sporting event happening in New Zealand today

1273
01:02:32,187 --> 01:02:35,147
Speaker 2: is the New Zealand Gulf Open. It's into its fourth

1274
01:02:35,227 --> 01:02:38,667
Speaker 2: and final round with some Kiwis looking to make their

1275
01:02:38,667 --> 01:02:42,227
Speaker 2: way up the leaderboard. The leader guntak Co might be

1276
01:02:42,267 --> 01:02:45,387
Speaker 2: out of reach, but Kiwi's in the field, the likes

1277
01:02:45,387 --> 01:02:48,987
Speaker 2: of Sam Jones, Daniel Hillyer, Michael Henry and others doing

1278
01:02:48,987 --> 01:02:52,027
Speaker 2: their best to carve into his lead. Andrew Ordison going

1279
01:02:52,067 --> 01:02:53,907
Speaker 2: to join us from Milbrook when we come back here

1280
01:02:54,107 --> 01:02:54,947
Speaker 2: on Weekend Sport.

1281
01:02:55,707 --> 01:02:59,067
Speaker 1: It's more than just a game. Weekends for it with

1282
01:02:59,267 --> 01:03:03,707
Speaker 1: Jason Fine and GJ. Gunnobs, New Zealand's most trusted home builder,

1283
01:03:03,827 --> 01:03:05,107
Speaker 1: News TALKSB.

1284
01:03:04,947 --> 01:03:07,507
Speaker 2: News TALKSB and Weekends twenty nine away from two to

1285
01:03:07,547 --> 01:03:10,427
Speaker 2: the Golf. At a moment, I've completely jinxed to Auckland again.

1286
01:03:10,987 --> 01:03:12,787
Speaker 2: A short time ago, I did it to Jimmy Neisham.

1287
01:03:12,827 --> 01:03:15,107
Speaker 2: Now I've done it to Simon Keane, who was going

1288
01:03:15,147 --> 01:03:17,227
Speaker 2: along very nicely and in fact has clocked up his

1289
01:03:17,307 --> 01:03:21,907
Speaker 2: best score in Enlist a cricket. But no sooner had

1290
01:03:21,947 --> 01:03:24,387
Speaker 2: I've been singing his praises than he got out for

1291
01:03:24,387 --> 01:03:26,547
Speaker 2: forty eight, caught by Mitch Half the bowling of each

1292
01:03:26,627 --> 01:03:30,107
Speaker 2: Sodi one hundred and forty eight for seven. Now Auckland

1293
01:03:30,107 --> 01:03:34,227
Speaker 2: batting first against Canterbury, Lucky Stackpole's been joined by Addie Airshock.

1294
01:03:34,307 --> 01:03:37,147
Speaker 2: Still sixteen overs to go, so plenty of time, but

1295
01:03:37,227 --> 01:03:39,427
Speaker 2: running out of wickets one forty eight for seven. So

1296
01:03:39,507 --> 01:03:42,227
Speaker 2: clearly I've put the hecks on the Warriors. Meantime, I've

1297
01:03:42,267 --> 01:03:45,467
Speaker 2: conceded a second try camberra Ly by ten points to

1298
01:03:45,547 --> 01:03:48,147
Speaker 2: nil with thirteen minutes to go in Las Vegas. So

1299
01:03:48,307 --> 01:03:50,947
Speaker 2: with all of this new found ability to put the

1300
01:03:50,987 --> 01:03:53,987
Speaker 2: hecks on people, maybe Andrew Ordison I should try the

1301
01:03:53,987 --> 01:03:56,587
Speaker 2: same for Guntatco at the top of the New Zealand

1302
01:03:56,627 --> 01:03:58,507
Speaker 2: at Golf Open leader board and say there's no chance

1303
01:03:58,547 --> 01:04:00,347
Speaker 2: he's going to be caught and it'll be a fat

1304
01:04:00,387 --> 01:04:00,987
Speaker 2: to complete that.

1305
01:04:01,027 --> 01:04:01,387
Speaker 16: He is.

1306
01:04:02,827 --> 01:04:05,147
Speaker 20: Look tiny. I thought you could be on the money.

1307
01:04:05,627 --> 01:04:10,707
Speaker 20: He's passed through one hole. Latest report good tacco, but

1308
01:04:11,067 --> 01:04:14,627
Speaker 20: there are chases if you like Bobby Bay of China.

1309
01:04:14,867 --> 01:04:19,147
Speaker 20: He's now at nineteen just within three. Kazuki of Japan

1310
01:04:19,947 --> 01:04:24,387
Speaker 20: also on nineteen under, bested in New Zealanders. So far, well,

1311
01:04:24,387 --> 01:04:27,067
Speaker 20: it's a mixture. Daniel Hillier has been making great progress.

1312
01:04:27,107 --> 01:04:27,747
Speaker 7: I think he is.

1313
01:04:27,787 --> 01:04:31,307
Speaker 20: Three under through the day. He's at fifteen under overall,

1314
01:04:31,667 --> 01:04:34,867
Speaker 20: and Sam Jones saying at fifteen under or has moved

1315
01:04:34,867 --> 01:04:38,067
Speaker 20: to fifteen under. He's won under for the day. Just

1316
01:04:38,107 --> 01:04:40,067
Speaker 20: out on the tea when Sam Jones is teeing off

1317
01:04:40,427 --> 01:04:44,787
Speaker 20: and did an absolutely magnificent fade into the distance Piney

1318
01:04:45,227 --> 01:04:49,067
Speaker 20: and someone nearby remarked that that's further than I go

1319
01:04:49,147 --> 01:04:53,147
Speaker 20: on holidays.

1320
01:04:53,547 --> 01:04:54,387
Speaker 7: I thought that was that.

1321
01:04:54,467 --> 01:04:57,587
Speaker 20: Was great, you know, nice work anyway, our of the

1322
01:04:57,667 --> 01:04:59,707
Speaker 20: tea there the Claret jugs. The X of course is

1323
01:04:59,707 --> 01:05:02,547
Speaker 20: going to be this place that's available at Royal Port

1324
01:05:02,667 --> 01:05:05,107
Speaker 20: yce Lay in the year at the Open Championship, so

1325
01:05:05,147 --> 01:05:08,027
Speaker 20: that's there along with the the Brady Breeze Trophy. So

1326
01:05:08,307 --> 01:05:11,587
Speaker 20: playing off of that first te no end of entertainment

1327
01:05:11,907 --> 01:05:12,907
Speaker 20: absolutely brilliantly.

1328
01:05:12,907 --> 01:05:15,507
Speaker 2: When you're twenty two underpart it feels as though you've

1329
01:05:15,507 --> 01:05:17,747
Speaker 2: got your game together. But what has gone tak Co

1330
01:05:17,907 --> 01:05:21,347
Speaker 2: done particularly well in the first three rounds and at

1331
01:05:21,347 --> 01:05:23,307
Speaker 2: the very start of the fourth.

1332
01:05:23,387 --> 01:05:26,187
Speaker 20: Well, I think it's been a bit of a mixture.

1333
01:05:26,187 --> 01:05:28,107
Speaker 20: But he said his iron play in the second round.

1334
01:05:28,187 --> 01:05:29,987
Speaker 20: I threw a translator on my dad, but he said

1335
01:05:29,987 --> 01:05:32,347
Speaker 20: as iron play was a real strength or short iron

1336
01:05:32,347 --> 01:05:35,307
Speaker 20: play in particular, and then yesterday it was more the

1337
01:05:35,387 --> 01:05:37,907
Speaker 20: partter that was just on song, so he was able

1338
01:05:37,947 --> 01:05:40,787
Speaker 20: to just drop a few in that fashion. So I mean,

1339
01:05:40,827 --> 01:05:43,907
Speaker 20: I guess it's one thing one day and something else

1340
01:05:43,907 --> 01:05:46,947
Speaker 20: the next, but he has just been so consistent over

1341
01:05:46,947 --> 01:05:50,427
Speaker 20: that period. I mean the highlight for me probably that

1342
01:05:50,827 --> 01:05:55,067
Speaker 20: eagle that he scored on the twelfth yesterday on a

1343
01:05:55,107 --> 01:05:57,787
Speaker 20: par four. There's a debate with it. In fact, there's

1344
01:05:57,867 --> 01:06:00,707
Speaker 20: been he once had three eagles in a tournament on

1345
01:06:00,907 --> 01:06:01,547
Speaker 20: par fours.

1346
01:06:01,627 --> 01:06:03,227
Speaker 14: Ever has been such.

1347
01:06:03,027 --> 01:06:06,227
Speaker 7: A regularity in that regard. But he had a six

1348
01:06:06,507 --> 01:06:07,107
Speaker 7: five meter.

1349
01:06:06,947 --> 01:06:09,507
Speaker 20: A wedge and then he spun it back pretty much

1350
01:06:09,587 --> 01:06:12,307
Speaker 20: yo yoed back into the cup from about a couple

1351
01:06:12,347 --> 01:06:15,387
Speaker 20: of feet away. It was just such precision and he

1352
01:06:15,427 --> 01:06:17,267
Speaker 20: did look delighted after that one, so a bit of

1353
01:06:17,267 --> 01:06:19,987
Speaker 20: a nod to the gallery and moving on in his

1354
01:06:20,347 --> 01:06:21,427
Speaker 20: power blue strides.

1355
01:06:21,667 --> 01:06:24,507
Speaker 7: But he was in the fine form spectacular.

1356
01:06:24,547 --> 01:06:27,067
Speaker 2: We spoke yesterday about how far ahead you'd have to

1357
01:06:27,107 --> 01:06:29,387
Speaker 2: be to feel like you were safe going into the

1358
01:06:29,387 --> 01:06:32,027
Speaker 2: fourth round. He took what a four shot lead into

1359
01:06:32,067 --> 01:06:35,267
Speaker 2: the final round, which he's held well up till this point. Anyway,

1360
01:06:35,627 --> 01:06:37,867
Speaker 2: on a course like this where low scoring seems to

1361
01:06:37,867 --> 01:06:40,427
Speaker 2: be something that can be done pretty easily, could he

1362
01:06:40,547 --> 01:06:43,987
Speaker 2: just play very conservatively today to hold onto that buffer

1363
01:06:44,107 --> 01:06:47,067
Speaker 2: or will he be aware that players below him can

1364
01:06:47,187 --> 01:06:48,787
Speaker 2: shoot really really low scores.

1365
01:06:49,627 --> 01:06:51,987
Speaker 20: Look, given the conditions Piney, I don't think he can

1366
01:06:52,027 --> 01:06:54,387
Speaker 20: be safe in any capacity here. I mean if he

1367
01:06:54,467 --> 01:06:58,187
Speaker 20: was to play and shoot even par I'm not convinced

1368
01:06:58,187 --> 01:07:01,387
Speaker 20: that he would win. Actually, it's just still it's still

1369
01:07:01,387 --> 01:07:05,507
Speaker 20: conditions again, barely a puff of wind, the sun's out,

1370
01:07:06,187 --> 01:07:09,627
Speaker 20: the greens are playing true, you're getting plenty of purchase

1371
01:07:09,667 --> 01:07:11,547
Speaker 20: for your shots, or plenty of distance for your shots

1372
01:07:11,667 --> 01:07:14,827
Speaker 20: out on a relatively dry ground. There's going to be

1373
01:07:14,867 --> 01:07:16,827
Speaker 20: guys hunting him down for sure. I think he'd has

1374
01:07:16,827 --> 01:07:20,827
Speaker 20: to be two maybe three under to start looking really convincing.

1375
01:07:21,387 --> 01:07:23,227
Speaker 20: And it's jilly days and has round the course. But

1376
01:07:23,547 --> 01:07:24,947
Speaker 20: just the way that the players have been seeing off

1377
01:07:24,947 --> 01:07:26,867
Speaker 20: and the ones I've been watching this morning out on course,

1378
01:07:27,627 --> 01:07:29,387
Speaker 20: Michael Henry among them as well, I might add who's

1379
01:07:29,427 --> 01:07:33,107
Speaker 20: been going pretty well too. They just look pretty assured

1380
01:07:33,667 --> 01:07:36,427
Speaker 20: in the golfing strokes and on the greens as well.

1381
01:07:37,147 --> 01:07:39,707
Speaker 20: I think there's no way you could rest on your lawrels.

1382
01:07:40,067 --> 01:07:41,907
Speaker 20: I mean, twenty two I don't think I've ever had

1383
01:07:41,987 --> 01:07:45,187
Speaker 20: I've been twenty two under in my life with birdies ever,

1384
01:07:45,347 --> 01:07:48,747
Speaker 20: you know, on aggregate, I mean, just to be that under,

1385
01:07:48,827 --> 01:07:50,387
Speaker 20: you think, oh, you'll be safe with that, but I

1386
01:07:50,427 --> 01:07:50,947
Speaker 20: don't think so.

1387
01:07:51,027 --> 01:07:52,867
Speaker 7: Here, I think it's all to play for.

1388
01:07:53,107 --> 01:07:56,467
Speaker 2: And I know you've talked about the course record or

1389
01:07:56,507 --> 01:07:58,347
Speaker 2: maybe it's the New Zealand Golf Open record. But if

1390
01:07:58,347 --> 01:08:00,387
Speaker 2: he does catch FYT today that is under three, doesn't it.

1391
01:08:01,467 --> 01:08:03,627
Speaker 20: Oh for sure, there's twenty seven under the moment that

1392
01:08:03,667 --> 01:08:07,307
Speaker 20: was Daniel there's but back in twenty eighteen here and yeah,

1393
01:08:07,307 --> 01:08:10,267
Speaker 20: he's got five or six strokes to beat it. So yeah,

1394
01:08:10,307 --> 01:08:13,747
Speaker 20: I think it's well within within his grasp. But possibly

1395
01:08:13,787 --> 01:08:14,547
Speaker 20: others as well.

1396
01:08:14,907 --> 01:08:15,867
Speaker 7: But he'd be the main one.

1397
01:08:16,187 --> 01:08:18,587
Speaker 20: He doesn't get it. It might be a struggle for others.

1398
01:08:18,787 --> 01:08:20,907
Speaker 20: So yeah, that's something to watch out for as well.

1399
01:08:20,987 --> 01:08:23,347
Speaker 20: So twenty seven unders the key number. If he gets

1400
01:08:23,347 --> 01:08:24,787
Speaker 20: to twenty eight, that becomes his.

1401
01:08:25,227 --> 01:08:26,947
Speaker 2: And as far as conditions are concerned, I know it's

1402
01:08:26,987 --> 01:08:30,107
Speaker 2: one thing that the organizers simply cannot control, and that's

1403
01:08:30,107 --> 01:08:33,067
Speaker 2: the weather. But they've been pretty lucky, haven't they. And

1404
01:08:33,227 --> 01:08:35,027
Speaker 2: it's by the sounds of it, and from what you've

1405
01:08:35,067 --> 01:08:36,787
Speaker 2: been saying and that some of the footage I've seen,

1406
01:08:36,827 --> 01:08:39,107
Speaker 2: it's been a fairly cool place to be these last

1407
01:08:39,107 --> 01:08:39,827
Speaker 2: four days.

1408
01:08:40,267 --> 01:08:40,667
Speaker 6: Oh.

1409
01:08:40,707 --> 01:08:44,827
Speaker 20: Absolutely, you've got this incredible sort of dry whether anything's

1410
01:08:44,867 --> 01:08:49,827
Speaker 20: you've got the crumpled sandpaper crown range surrounding you.

1411
01:08:49,907 --> 01:08:52,347
Speaker 7: That there hasn't really been a hint of any where

1412
01:08:52,427 --> 01:08:55,187
Speaker 7: weather coming through that, and I think that.

1413
01:08:55,067 --> 01:08:56,547
Speaker 20: That's putting in the state that way that it was

1414
01:08:56,547 --> 01:08:59,387
Speaker 20: a suggestion you might be scattered showers yesday, but nothing

1415
01:08:59,467 --> 01:09:01,627
Speaker 20: ever came of that. It's just a bit of overcast

1416
01:09:01,947 --> 01:09:05,547
Speaker 20: cloud at various stages then. But today there's also this

1417
01:09:05,627 --> 01:09:10,427
Speaker 20: cloud around, but I can't see it affecting the round

1418
01:09:10,547 --> 01:09:12,947
Speaker 20: in terms of rain in any way, shape or form.

1419
01:09:12,987 --> 01:09:14,067
Speaker 7: People are out and they've got.

1420
01:09:13,907 --> 01:09:16,747
Speaker 20: The sort of look as the Bermuda shows, the polo

1421
01:09:16,827 --> 01:09:18,907
Speaker 20: shirt and the camp or you know, the wide roomed

1422
01:09:18,947 --> 01:09:22,347
Speaker 20: sun hat, sunscreen on slip slop slap, and people just

1423
01:09:22,347 --> 01:09:26,107
Speaker 20: just loving and out there they take those pogo stick

1424
01:09:26,627 --> 01:09:29,027
Speaker 20: type seats out and just park up in one of those,

1425
01:09:29,107 --> 01:09:32,147
Speaker 20: or you get your beach's recliner out, get yourself seas

1426
01:09:32,267 --> 01:09:36,267
Speaker 20: under maybe a pinoak tree or an elm, something that

1427
01:09:36,387 --> 01:09:38,667
Speaker 20: weeping willow even is a bit of a favorite round

1428
01:09:39,027 --> 01:09:41,627
Speaker 20: the Millbrook course, and just enjoy the goal.

1429
01:09:41,907 --> 01:09:44,387
Speaker 2: Oh the way you use your vocabulary is just top

1430
01:09:44,467 --> 01:09:47,507
Speaker 2: drawer as always orders, top drive, just before you go,

1431
01:09:47,587 --> 01:09:48,787
Speaker 2: We'll get you on again next home.

1432
01:09:49,587 --> 01:09:51,507
Speaker 20: Doesn't get me under par much more Monto fighting.

1433
01:09:51,627 --> 01:09:54,747
Speaker 2: No you're right, No, you're right. But how's what I

1434
01:09:54,827 --> 01:09:58,267
Speaker 2: need to know? Crucially? Has the Has the media catering

1435
01:09:58,787 --> 01:10:01,347
Speaker 2: lived up to everything else wrapped around this tournament?

1436
01:10:02,427 --> 01:10:03,027
Speaker 14: Absolutely?

1437
01:10:03,267 --> 01:10:05,267
Speaker 7: Have you with the media caring? I don't no doubt

1438
01:10:05,307 --> 01:10:05,787
Speaker 7: about it.

1439
01:10:05,987 --> 01:10:08,907
Speaker 20: I did slip out, you know, I mean, I hope

1440
01:10:08,907 --> 01:10:10,867
Speaker 20: this is orders are not listening. But I did slip

1441
01:10:10,907 --> 01:10:12,907
Speaker 20: out for the ham and cheese toasty, yes, and that

1442
01:10:12,987 --> 01:10:16,347
Speaker 20: was rather tasty as well. Michelin star sort of stuff

1443
01:10:16,547 --> 01:10:19,227
Speaker 20: in the general green where they called the hide here

1444
01:10:19,987 --> 01:10:21,787
Speaker 20: the center of activities.

1445
01:10:21,707 --> 01:10:22,747
Speaker 7: And that was delicious too.

1446
01:10:23,027 --> 01:10:25,347
Speaker 20: I fancy myself an ice cream lader as well, maybe

1447
01:10:25,347 --> 01:10:26,307
Speaker 20: just as a bit of a treat a.

1448
01:10:26,387 --> 01:10:28,427
Speaker 2: Roll, keep us posting on that and on the Gulf

1449
01:10:28,667 --> 01:10:31,627
Speaker 2: and we'll catch up with there an hour or so

1450
01:10:31,667 --> 01:10:35,067
Speaker 2: if that's okay, God sir, plenty of time, good man.

1451
01:10:35,067 --> 01:10:38,867
Speaker 2: Thanks orders Andrew Ordison our man at Maulbrook, well who better?

1452
01:10:39,067 --> 01:10:41,547
Speaker 2: Who better? And look I mean the way he uses

1453
01:10:41,587 --> 01:10:45,107
Speaker 2: his words. Read him at enziherld dot cot ont Nz

1454
01:10:45,307 --> 01:10:49,867
Speaker 2: because yeah, he's got a very very unique and in

1455
01:10:49,947 --> 01:10:52,787
Speaker 2: wonderful way of describing things using the written word and

1456
01:10:52,827 --> 01:10:55,347
Speaker 2: the spoken word as well. So we'll get orders back

1457
01:10:55,387 --> 01:10:56,907
Speaker 2: on and as I say, around an hour or so,

1458
01:10:57,067 --> 01:10:59,587
Speaker 2: just to check on the progress. But contact. Coke holds

1459
01:10:59,627 --> 01:11:03,387
Speaker 2: a four shot lead early in his final round. He's

1460
01:11:03,427 --> 01:11:05,467
Speaker 2: twenty two under the card. Ryan Peak at eighteen under

1461
01:11:05,507 --> 01:11:09,187
Speaker 2: an outright second, Bobby by Elvis Smiley, En Snayeman and

1462
01:11:09,307 --> 01:11:12,467
Speaker 2: Kazuki Higger are all at seventeen under. The leading key

1463
01:11:12,507 --> 01:11:15,107
Speaker 2: we currently is Sam Jones and a tie for seventh.

1464
01:11:15,467 --> 01:11:17,867
Speaker 2: He is sixteen under the card one under through one

1465
01:11:17,907 --> 01:11:22,427
Speaker 2: hole today, still six shots back from the leader fourteen nil.

1466
01:11:22,587 --> 01:11:25,467
Speaker 2: The Canberra Raiders lead the Warriors with seven minutes to

1467
01:11:25,547 --> 01:11:28,427
Speaker 2: go in the first half. It's not going the way

1468
01:11:28,427 --> 01:11:30,987
Speaker 2: they would have hoped in Vegas a third try without

1469
01:11:30,987 --> 01:11:35,467
Speaker 2: a third try, Andy McDonald it was so the Raiders

1470
01:11:35,627 --> 01:11:38,267
Speaker 2: have certainly taken the ball by the horns in Vegas

1471
01:11:38,307 --> 01:11:40,387
Speaker 2: early in this one. Fourteen nil with a kick to

1472
01:11:40,427 --> 01:11:43,027
Speaker 2: come and seven minutes to go in the first half.

1473
01:11:43,067 --> 01:11:46,387
Speaker 2: So not the start that New Zealand Warriors fans and

1474
01:11:46,427 --> 01:11:49,787
Speaker 2: the team themselves would have hoped for it under the

1475
01:11:49,867 --> 01:11:52,827
Speaker 2: roof at Allegiance Stadium in Vegas. We might just hold

1476
01:11:53,387 --> 01:11:56,947
Speaker 2: while we check on Jamal Foggarty's ability to land the

1477
01:11:56,987 --> 01:11:59,747
Speaker 2: conversion right, so I can give you a right up

1478
01:11:59,747 --> 01:12:04,147
Speaker 2: to date score here. He has nailed it down the middle.

1479
01:12:04,307 --> 01:12:08,427
Speaker 2: Sixteen nil, sixteen nil, thirty three minutes gone in Vegas.

1480
01:12:08,587 --> 01:12:10,347
Speaker 2: Still plenty of time for the Warriors, but they are

1481
01:12:10,387 --> 01:12:12,187
Speaker 2: going to have to get a bit of a move on.

1482
01:12:12,267 --> 01:12:14,707
Speaker 2: Just quick check on the cricket as well. Auckland won

1483
01:12:14,827 --> 01:12:17,747
Speaker 2: fifty nine for seven and the thirty seventh over batting

1484
01:12:17,747 --> 01:12:21,627
Speaker 2: first against Canterbury and the Ford Trophy Cricket Final twenty

1485
01:12:21,707 --> 01:12:23,907
Speaker 2: to two. Let's get a breakaway when we come back.

1486
01:12:23,987 --> 01:12:26,347
Speaker 2: James mcconey a huge part of our Sundays. He's with

1487
01:12:26,467 --> 01:12:28,107
Speaker 2: us next year on Weekend Sport.

1488
01:12:28,667 --> 01:12:32,387
Speaker 1: The tough questions off the Turf, Weekend Sport with Jason

1489
01:12:32,427 --> 01:12:36,347
Speaker 1: Pine and GJ. Gunderholmes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder,

1490
01:12:36,427 --> 01:12:37,947
Speaker 1: News TALKSB.

1491
01:12:38,587 --> 01:12:42,467
Speaker 2: News Talks AIRB and Weekend Sports seventeen away from two.

1492
01:12:43,067 --> 01:12:44,627
Speaker 2: When I wrote down at the start of the week

1493
01:12:45,747 --> 01:12:49,627
Speaker 2: the list of media who I thought would be in Vegas,

1494
01:12:50,627 --> 01:12:52,747
Speaker 2: James mcconey was at the top of the list. This

1495
01:12:52,907 --> 01:12:57,627
Speaker 2: is catastrophic. How have you not been sent to Vegas?

1496
01:12:58,187 --> 01:13:01,027
Speaker 14: Yeah, exactly. I don't know. Maybe they'll think of me

1497
01:13:01,067 --> 01:13:04,347
Speaker 14: as a flight risk. You know, it's like mcconey Vegas

1498
01:13:04,387 --> 01:13:07,907
Speaker 14: as it worth at it work the headlines. Will we

1499
01:13:07,947 --> 01:13:10,987
Speaker 14: ever come back? Will it be like the Hangover? Will

1500
01:13:11,027 --> 01:13:13,347
Speaker 14: he suddenly end up with a baby on a front

1501
01:13:13,347 --> 01:13:15,987
Speaker 14: pack and a tiger in his room? Chances are yes.

1502
01:13:16,627 --> 01:13:18,227
Speaker 2: Well, I had a chat to Mike Lane an hour

1503
01:13:18,347 --> 01:13:19,987
Speaker 2: or so ago, and he's got me to call his

1504
01:13:20,027 --> 01:13:22,427
Speaker 2: wife to let her know that he may not be

1505
01:13:22,547 --> 01:13:23,227
Speaker 2: coming back.

1506
01:13:24,827 --> 01:13:27,627
Speaker 14: That's no surprise. I mean Mike Lane. I mean I

1507
01:13:27,667 --> 01:13:29,987
Speaker 14: would have been part of that Mike Lane acc or

1508
01:13:29,987 --> 01:13:33,547
Speaker 14: turn of commentary collective party. I would have been part

1509
01:13:33,547 --> 01:13:36,787
Speaker 14: of that, and that's as dangerous for starters. So yeah,

1510
01:13:36,787 --> 01:13:39,387
Speaker 14: it's better to steer clear. I've got major fomo. But

1511
01:13:39,787 --> 01:13:42,987
Speaker 14: at the moment I'm just watching and the Warriors of

1512
01:13:43,027 --> 01:13:45,667
Speaker 14: leading three soft tries, one was a length of the

1513
01:13:45,667 --> 01:13:48,387
Speaker 14: field and decepted as well, which would just you know,

1514
01:13:49,147 --> 01:13:52,147
Speaker 14: repiand's right there. But hey, when you're in Vegas, it's

1515
01:13:52,147 --> 01:13:53,747
Speaker 14: still good times even if they lose.

1516
01:13:53,827 --> 01:13:56,147
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's right, and I know you've probably turned

1517
01:13:56,147 --> 01:13:58,347
Speaker 2: away for the television to give full focus to your

1518
01:13:58,427 --> 01:14:01,307
Speaker 2: radio slot, which I greatly appreciate. But the Warriors have

1519
01:14:01,467 --> 01:14:03,627
Speaker 2: just got to try in the corner. So sixteen to four,

1520
01:14:04,187 --> 01:14:05,747
Speaker 2: kick to come. They're on their way back.

1521
01:14:05,827 --> 01:14:09,307
Speaker 14: James, why is my I went back? I think to

1522
01:14:09,347 --> 01:14:11,587
Speaker 14: look at it says it's low. How come you're ahead

1523
01:14:11,627 --> 01:14:14,627
Speaker 14: of me? Pine? Are you so advanced? Great to hear?

1524
01:14:14,747 --> 01:14:18,027
Speaker 14: Great to hear. But yeah, I'm watching on sky Sport

1525
01:14:18,067 --> 01:14:20,227
Speaker 14: now and I just see that we're on the attack.

1526
01:14:20,307 --> 01:14:23,067
Speaker 14: But there's been some good position. I actually like Lequa

1527
01:14:23,147 --> 01:14:27,627
Speaker 14: Halasima who's on the on the bench and as we

1528
01:14:27,707 --> 01:14:30,387
Speaker 14: just see to trying now, yes, nice try. The scored

1529
01:14:30,427 --> 01:14:34,947
Speaker 14: by cap has gone yes.

1530
01:14:35,867 --> 01:14:36,307
Speaker 8: Good stuff.

1531
01:14:36,587 --> 01:14:40,947
Speaker 14: Hey, look I the way I feel about the wires

1532
01:14:41,027 --> 01:14:44,307
Speaker 14: is that they've become such a you know, a big

1533
01:14:44,347 --> 01:14:47,507
Speaker 14: ticket item. Everyone wants to, everyone supports them. They've come

1534
01:14:47,547 --> 01:14:49,787
Speaker 14: out of the woodwork. It's all been since COVID, really,

1535
01:14:50,067 --> 01:14:54,667
Speaker 14: and I know rugby is is panicking because the Warriors

1536
01:14:54,667 --> 01:14:57,547
Speaker 14: are so popular, the NRL is growing, But I think

1537
01:14:57,547 --> 01:15:00,467
Speaker 14: it's actually quite good for rugby. People like contact sport.

1538
01:15:00,787 --> 01:15:03,347
Speaker 14: That's a good thing and all all rugby needs to

1539
01:15:03,387 --> 01:15:05,467
Speaker 14: do is make sure that their product is great, and

1540
01:15:05,507 --> 01:15:07,867
Speaker 14: that has been so f this year. There's just been

1541
01:15:07,907 --> 01:15:10,787
Speaker 14: a couple of glitches and one of them happened last

1542
01:15:10,867 --> 01:15:13,987
Speaker 14: night at the end of the Blues Hurricanes game. You

1543
01:15:14,067 --> 01:15:14,867
Speaker 14: talked about that on.

1544
01:15:14,827 --> 01:15:17,907
Speaker 2: Your show by It we actually had We had Paul

1545
01:15:17,987 --> 01:15:21,347
Speaker 2: Tito on the radio about half an hour ago. What

1546
01:15:21,427 --> 01:15:22,107
Speaker 2: did you make of it?

1547
01:15:22,147 --> 01:15:22,347
Speaker 8: All?

1548
01:15:23,667 --> 01:15:28,467
Speaker 14: Very confusing having a doctor pretty much decide who gets

1549
01:15:28,467 --> 01:15:30,587
Speaker 14: to put the ball into the scrum. In the end,

1550
01:15:31,547 --> 01:15:34,187
Speaker 14: Sam knock looked in a bad way. So if he

1551
01:15:34,227 --> 01:15:37,347
Speaker 14: didn't have an HIA, did you see his face something

1552
01:15:37,707 --> 01:15:38,547
Speaker 14: seriously wrong?

1553
01:15:38,787 --> 01:15:38,987
Speaker 18: Yep.

1554
01:15:40,387 --> 01:15:43,267
Speaker 14: So if he didn't have an HI they couldn't They

1555
01:15:43,427 --> 01:15:45,707
Speaker 14: trying to find footage of where he got hit, where

1556
01:15:45,707 --> 01:15:48,627
Speaker 14: he got knocked, and I just thought, think, wow, that's

1557
01:15:48,707 --> 01:15:51,307
Speaker 14: quite a big call to make on the day and

1558
01:15:51,427 --> 01:15:55,147
Speaker 14: forcing Boden Barrett to put the ball into the scrum. Look,

1559
01:15:55,187 --> 01:15:57,107
Speaker 14: I know you're a Hurricanes fan, but I think it's

1560
01:15:58,387 --> 01:16:01,307
Speaker 14: probably helps just to see the Blues get across the

1561
01:16:01,347 --> 01:16:05,947
Speaker 14: line at least once. And I think we'll be hearing

1562
01:16:05,947 --> 01:16:09,827
Speaker 14: more about the influence of doctors on games now.

1563
01:16:09,947 --> 01:16:13,347
Speaker 2: Indeed, because I thought they and I can't remember, I

1564
01:16:13,387 --> 01:16:15,507
Speaker 2: thought it was the mouth guard that gave you the

1565
01:16:16,187 --> 01:16:18,627
Speaker 2: that gave you the indication that somebody had been hit

1566
01:16:18,707 --> 01:16:21,547
Speaker 2: hard enough or their or their head had moved enough

1567
01:16:21,587 --> 01:16:24,587
Speaker 2: that it was that it reached an HIA threshold. But

1568
01:16:24,627 --> 01:16:26,627
Speaker 2: you're right, I think they were looking. I think they

1569
01:16:26,627 --> 01:16:31,027
Speaker 2: were on skyg rewinding back to try and find what happened.

1570
01:16:32,027 --> 01:16:33,627
Speaker 14: Well, you can still get hit in the back of

1571
01:16:33,627 --> 01:16:37,347
Speaker 14: the head, can't you, And with your mouth open sometimes,

1572
01:16:37,387 --> 01:16:38,907
Speaker 14: you know what I mean. Like in the furthest part

1573
01:16:38,947 --> 01:16:42,907
Speaker 14: away from the mouthguard, I just looked at Sam Knock's

1574
01:16:42,947 --> 01:16:44,947
Speaker 14: face and I think, well, he's whatever he's got. He's

1575
01:16:44,947 --> 01:16:48,907
Speaker 14: not faking. He's not going back out there either. So yeah,

1576
01:16:49,027 --> 01:16:52,787
Speaker 14: it's an interesting rule. But look, to be honest, both

1577
01:16:52,827 --> 01:16:55,947
Speaker 14: those teams are spluttering along. The Hurricanes definitely aren't the

1578
01:16:55,987 --> 01:16:58,507
Speaker 14: same threat they were last year. I'm trying to work

1579
01:16:58,547 --> 01:17:01,067
Speaker 14: out here and this more. Is it Jordi Barrett or

1580
01:17:01,107 --> 01:17:06,147
Speaker 14: is it Reuben Love? But there's a pretty much both.

1581
01:17:06,627 --> 01:17:08,827
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like there and yeah, a couple of other

1582
01:17:08,867 --> 01:17:11,547
Speaker 2: positions as well. I think Harry Godfrey's a very promising player.

1583
01:17:11,547 --> 01:17:13,227
Speaker 2: It's got a lot of points last night, including a

1584
01:17:13,267 --> 01:17:16,747
Speaker 2: nice try, but yeah, it's he's stillly and his tenure there. Hey,

1585
01:17:16,747 --> 01:17:18,827
Speaker 2: can we talk about your chiefs? Are they beat the Blues?

1586
01:17:19,147 --> 01:17:22,907
Speaker 2: They beat the Crusaders yesterday afternoon they almost raised their

1587
01:17:22,907 --> 01:17:27,147
Speaker 2: bet again beating the Brumbies forty nine thirty four. Should

1588
01:17:27,147 --> 01:17:28,867
Speaker 2: we just give you guys the trophy? Now?

1589
01:17:30,147 --> 01:17:32,147
Speaker 14: Oh, I'd love that to happen, Poney. I would actually

1590
01:17:32,147 --> 01:17:35,307
Speaker 14: preferred of one a couple of years ago when Razor

1591
01:17:35,347 --> 01:17:39,187
Speaker 14: breakdanced on Waikato Stadium there that that was the one

1592
01:17:39,307 --> 01:17:43,667
Speaker 14: that we really needed two years on. Yeah, that's great.

1593
01:17:44,747 --> 01:17:47,707
Speaker 14: I think we're looking in good shape. But now Damien

1594
01:17:47,787 --> 01:17:50,827
Speaker 14: McKenzie's injury, have you had a doctor on the show

1595
01:17:50,907 --> 01:17:51,667
Speaker 14: yet today?

1596
01:17:51,787 --> 01:17:52,067
Speaker 18: Finally?

1597
01:17:52,147 --> 01:17:55,947
Speaker 14: Because he's been really the standout player in Super rugby

1598
01:17:55,987 --> 01:17:59,907
Speaker 14: so far this season, him and Tomty Taveta Nawai have

1599
01:18:00,027 --> 01:18:03,587
Speaker 14: been two unbelievable standouts, and McKenzie getting that knee injury.

1600
01:18:04,187 --> 01:18:07,027
Speaker 14: It's pretty bad. But at least Josh Jake in there

1601
01:18:07,067 --> 01:18:10,227
Speaker 14: at ten looks the goods and you know there's a

1602
01:18:10,227 --> 01:18:13,587
Speaker 14: little bit of depth and thank goodness for Manassa master Ellie.

1603
01:18:13,587 --> 01:18:17,507
Speaker 14: He's been around forever, but he's only twenty eight and

1604
01:18:17,547 --> 01:18:20,867
Speaker 14: he slotted in on the wing there. So yeah, we

1605
01:18:20,907 --> 01:18:23,267
Speaker 14: wait and see about Dmac, but I think things are

1606
01:18:23,307 --> 01:18:26,627
Speaker 14: looking great. And speaking of missing Jordie, Will Quinty Pyre

1607
01:18:26,627 --> 01:18:29,307
Speaker 14: at twelve looks like he could slott in to the

1608
01:18:29,347 --> 01:18:31,787
Speaker 14: All Blacks right now. He's looking in such good form.

1609
01:18:31,947 --> 01:18:34,467
Speaker 2: Yeah he was. He was a standout, wasn't he, Quinte Pie,

1610
01:18:34,507 --> 01:18:37,227
Speaker 2: he looked, he looked awesome. I think I saw Dmax

1611
01:18:37,307 --> 01:18:40,107
Speaker 2: signing autographs afterwards. I know that's not an indication of

1612
01:18:40,107 --> 01:18:42,147
Speaker 2: whether your knees are okay or not, but I get

1613
01:18:42,147 --> 01:18:43,707
Speaker 2: the feeling if it was serious, he might have gone

1614
01:18:43,747 --> 01:18:45,467
Speaker 2: in an under and gone to hospital or whatever it was.

1615
01:18:45,507 --> 01:18:48,467
Speaker 2: I got treatment, so I you know, that could be

1616
01:18:48,507 --> 01:18:50,067
Speaker 2: a good sign that it might not be quite as

1617
01:18:50,107 --> 01:18:51,267
Speaker 2: bad as first feared.

1618
01:18:52,107 --> 01:18:55,147
Speaker 14: Yes, exactly. That is that is a good sign. And look,

1619
01:18:55,187 --> 01:19:01,587
Speaker 14: I think it sounds like they're not worried about McKenzie.

1620
01:19:01,667 --> 01:19:04,667
Speaker 14: So you know, that's that's the latest that just came

1621
01:19:04,707 --> 01:19:06,227
Speaker 14: through on the email. I don't know if you heard

1622
01:19:06,227 --> 01:19:11,227
Speaker 14: that little thing, but yeah, so that's that's a good sign.

1623
01:19:11,427 --> 01:19:11,667
Speaker 8: Look.

1624
01:19:11,867 --> 01:19:14,227
Speaker 14: The other thing with Super Rugby really is white A

1625
01:19:14,267 --> 01:19:19,947
Speaker 14: Pacifica looking so good I think against the Highlanders and

1626
01:19:20,267 --> 01:19:22,747
Speaker 14: Artie just lifting his game. That battle with Taveta and

1627
01:19:22,827 --> 01:19:27,267
Speaker 14: Mali was so intriguing and but it's almost like you

1628
01:19:27,347 --> 01:19:31,827
Speaker 14: took it personal, like Michael Jordan from there from the documentary,

1629
01:19:31,987 --> 01:19:36,347
Speaker 14: you know, the last start and he was but I

1630
01:19:36,347 --> 01:19:38,547
Speaker 14: thought there was one thing there that One thing I

1631
01:19:38,627 --> 01:19:41,827
Speaker 14: must note about Super Rugby is the high tackle rulings

1632
01:19:41,867 --> 01:19:45,387
Speaker 14: are in absolute shambles at the moment. So Cam Miller

1633
01:19:45,467 --> 01:19:47,387
Speaker 14: went high in a head clash. I know it was

1634
01:19:47,387 --> 01:19:50,107
Speaker 14: his first interaction of the game when he came on.

1635
01:19:50,547 --> 01:19:52,787
Speaker 14: Now that would normally be a card, but because he

1636
01:19:52,867 --> 01:19:55,587
Speaker 14: got so badly hurt, it's almost they gave him a pass.

1637
01:19:56,347 --> 01:19:58,427
Speaker 14: We've seen a part of our red card for that

1638
01:19:58,547 --> 01:20:01,547
Speaker 14: against Ireland when he had a head clash accidental head

1639
01:20:01,547 --> 01:20:04,187
Speaker 14: clash with Gary Ringrose, he sort of came to and

1640
01:20:04,307 --> 01:20:06,867
Speaker 14: was given the show a red card, but no oakhads

1641
01:20:06,907 --> 01:20:09,667
Speaker 14: for Miller on Friday night. I think that really does

1642
01:20:09,987 --> 01:20:12,427
Speaker 14: impact the game a lot. So if they're serious about

1643
01:20:12,427 --> 01:20:16,227
Speaker 14: these head clashes, the same thing happened in a week

1644
01:20:16,267 --> 01:20:20,547
Speaker 14: two with Hunter pasce Armi for the Reds on Moana again.

1645
01:20:20,747 --> 01:20:23,787
Speaker 14: So they're on the rough end of the stick right now.

1646
01:20:24,267 --> 01:20:26,667
Speaker 14: They've got to get that right. I think it's pretty simple,

1647
01:20:26,747 --> 01:20:27,747
Speaker 14: but they're failing.

1648
01:20:28,347 --> 01:20:29,907
Speaker 2: Hey, just before you go, I know you wouldn't have

1649
01:20:29,907 --> 01:20:31,667
Speaker 2: had the chance to watch it, probably watching the Chiefs

1650
01:20:31,707 --> 01:20:33,547
Speaker 2: around about the same time, but we had a four

1651
01:20:33,627 --> 01:20:37,707
Speaker 2: all draw in the A League yesterday. Incredible go media.

1652
01:20:38,747 --> 01:20:41,307
Speaker 14: I mean, that's it's craz I mean, you're living in

1653
01:20:41,387 --> 01:20:43,347
Speaker 14: the wrong city now, Pineyer. I know that you're looking

1654
01:20:43,347 --> 01:20:46,827
Speaker 14: at property and Aukland. That's the what people are saying,

1655
01:20:46,947 --> 01:20:50,067
Speaker 14: and that I feel really need jet reaction from yourself

1656
01:20:50,107 --> 01:20:53,387
Speaker 14: to be starting to scout around one Tree Hills for

1657
01:20:53,547 --> 01:20:57,427
Speaker 14: some couple a nice little bed set or even you know,

1658
01:20:57,587 --> 01:20:59,627
Speaker 14: could you push out to a townhouse there. I mean,

1659
01:21:00,067 --> 01:21:04,027
Speaker 14: the thing is that that game, that rivalry is really important.

1660
01:21:04,107 --> 01:21:06,827
Speaker 14: I know, like you said in your commentary, it sucked

1661
01:21:06,827 --> 01:21:10,267
Speaker 14: the energy out of the stadium, but it might be necessary.

1662
01:21:10,387 --> 01:21:13,587
Speaker 14: You don't want your fairy tale ending mid season. You

1663
01:21:13,627 --> 01:21:16,667
Speaker 14: want your fairytale ending to be lifting the toilet seat,

1664
01:21:16,707 --> 01:21:19,667
Speaker 14: which is the trophy for the A League, right, yeah,

1665
01:21:20,187 --> 01:21:23,067
Speaker 14: the toilet seat. So winning that game, yes, it would

1666
01:21:23,107 --> 01:21:26,907
Speaker 14: have been a wonderful moment for the fans, but having

1667
01:21:26,947 --> 01:21:29,347
Speaker 14: them sort of give them that wake up call, it

1668
01:21:29,347 --> 01:21:32,187
Speaker 14: will change everything about the way they analyze that game.

1669
01:21:32,467 --> 01:21:35,707
Speaker 14: Two penalties conceded, that soft goal at the end. I

1670
01:21:35,707 --> 01:21:39,427
Speaker 14: think it Pineker tried to volley it away when they

1671
01:21:39,467 --> 01:21:41,227
Speaker 14: could have just got a head on it, right, And

1672
01:21:41,267 --> 01:21:44,587
Speaker 14: so now they look at that review and be tougher

1673
01:21:44,627 --> 01:21:46,267
Speaker 14: on themselves. I think it's for the best.

1674
01:21:46,267 --> 01:21:50,387
Speaker 2: Pony, I agree. I agree. I was hoping I could

1675
01:21:50,387 --> 01:21:52,707
Speaker 2: just sort of doss down at your place, but if

1676
01:21:52,747 --> 01:21:55,027
Speaker 2: I have to buy property, then you know I have

1677
01:21:55,067 --> 01:21:55,827
Speaker 2: to buy property.

1678
01:21:56,827 --> 01:21:58,867

1687
01:22:22,227 --> 01:22:24,827
Speaker 2: After our news at two o'clock, we're going to shift

1688
01:22:24,827 --> 01:22:27,747
Speaker 2: our focus across to cricket because the black Caps tonight

1689
01:22:27,787 --> 01:22:30,747
Speaker 2: play their final pull match at the Champions Trophy. They're

1690
01:22:30,787 --> 01:22:34,267
Speaker 2: already into the semi finals, of course, so the results

1691
01:22:34,307 --> 01:22:36,867
Speaker 2: not that important, but the performance may well be. They

1692
01:22:36,907 --> 01:22:41,347
Speaker 2: take on India in Dubai. As I say, it doesn't matter,

1693
01:22:41,347 --> 01:22:44,387
Speaker 2: they'll still go into the semi finals. If they win,

1694
01:22:44,987 --> 01:22:48,227
Speaker 2: they will play Australia. If they lose, they will play

1695
01:22:48,467 --> 01:22:52,027
Speaker 2: South Africa. Which is the better deal for the black Caps.

1696
01:22:52,067 --> 01:22:53,987
Speaker 2: I'll still want to win the game, obviously, but which

1697
01:22:54,027 --> 01:22:56,947
Speaker 2: is the better matchup for them? Mike Hessen will know.

1698
01:22:57,147 --> 01:23:00,227
Speaker 2: He's one of the more astute cricket analysts going around.

1699
01:23:00,267 --> 01:23:02,907
Speaker 2: Former black Caps coach. He's with us after two o'clock

1700
01:23:02,947 --> 01:23:07,507
Speaker 2: and we'll relive that incredible four to four league draw yesterday.

1701
01:23:09,027 --> 01:23:11,947
Speaker 1: It's the only place to discuss the biggest sports issues

1702
01:23:12,027 --> 01:23:15,747
Speaker 1: on and after field. It's all on win James Ford

1703
01:23:15,827 --> 01:23:20,547
Speaker 1: with Jason Vane on your home of Sports Talk.

1704
01:23:21,947 --> 01:23:24,067
Speaker 2: Hi out seven past two. This is Weekend Sport on

1705
01:23:24,107 --> 01:23:26,947
Speaker 2: News Talks thereb I'm Jason Pine with Andy McDonald alongside.

1706
01:23:26,987 --> 01:23:30,467
Speaker 2: We're here till three talking sport. Then Tim Beveridge's back.

1707
01:23:30,747 --> 01:23:34,627
Speaker 2: I don't know where he was yesterday, clearly a higher calling,

1708
01:23:35,587 --> 01:23:39,747
Speaker 2: but Bevo back and the Weekend Collective chair after three

1709
01:23:39,787 --> 01:23:43,627
Speaker 2: o'clock before we hand over a lot to get through.

1710
01:23:43,987 --> 01:23:47,307
Speaker 2: We'll keep eyes on the Las Vegas where the Worries

1711
01:23:47,307 --> 01:23:50,067
Speaker 2: are up against the Raiders and up against it really,

1712
01:23:50,987 --> 01:23:53,707
Speaker 2: as they've started the second half sixteen to four behind.

1713
01:23:55,907 --> 01:23:59,107
Speaker 2: So we'll update you as and when required from there,

1714
01:23:59,147 --> 01:24:03,427
Speaker 2: as we will from the Ford Trophy Final, where Auckland

1715
01:24:03,467 --> 01:24:06,107
Speaker 2: continued to try and build some sort of competitive total

1716
01:24:06,107 --> 01:24:08,867
Speaker 2: two one hundred and five for eight in the forty

1717
01:24:08,907 --> 01:24:15,507
Speaker 2: fourth over. Louis Delport is that the wicket with lockey stackpole,

1718
01:24:16,627 --> 01:24:20,107
Speaker 2: so still six overs to go but yeah eight down,

1719
01:24:20,427 --> 01:24:24,107
Speaker 2: But who knows? This has been played at the University

1720
01:24:24,107 --> 01:24:26,947
Speaker 2: of Otago Oval in Dunedin, so I have no idea

1721
01:24:26,987 --> 01:24:29,627
Speaker 2: what the wicket's doing down there. Haven't ready had eyes

1722
01:24:29,627 --> 01:24:31,707
Speaker 2: on it to know whether it's been excellent bowling from

1723
01:24:31,707 --> 01:24:35,747
Speaker 2: Canterbury or substandard batting from Auckland, but I do know

1724
01:24:35,787 --> 01:24:37,867
Speaker 2: that it's two hundred and seven for eight now two

1725
01:24:37,987 --> 01:24:41,107
Speaker 2: hundred and seven for eight after forty four overs with

1726
01:24:41,187 --> 01:24:43,787
Speaker 2: Stackpole and Delport to get it. We'll keep eyes on that,

1727
01:24:43,867 --> 01:24:46,747
Speaker 2: and of course the New Zealand Golf Open is into

1728
01:24:46,787 --> 01:24:50,827
Speaker 2: its fourth and final rounds. Everybody at Millbrook is chasing

1729
01:24:51,067 --> 01:24:54,467
Speaker 2: guntac Co, the Korean at the top of the leaderboard.

1730
01:24:54,547 --> 01:24:57,347
Speaker 2: He has picked up another shot today to move to

1731
01:24:57,467 --> 01:25:00,427
Speaker 2: twenty three under. He's won under through four holes, but

1732
01:25:01,027 --> 01:25:04,987
Speaker 2: Bobby By the Chinese golfer, tearing it up early three

1733
01:25:05,147 --> 01:25:09,027
Speaker 2: under through four holes move to twenty under the card overall,

1734
01:25:09,547 --> 01:25:13,467
Speaker 2: so just three shots behind and a typher third one

1735
01:25:13,467 --> 01:25:16,587
Speaker 2: shot further back Kazuki Higa from Japan and Ryan Peak

1736
01:25:17,027 --> 01:25:23,227
Speaker 2: from Western Australia nineteen under. Finding the leading keiwe you've

1737
01:25:23,227 --> 01:25:25,507
Speaker 2: got to scroll down of it to Sam Jones. He

1738
01:25:25,627 --> 01:25:29,147
Speaker 2: is fifteen under the card, so eight shots back from

1739
01:25:29,667 --> 01:25:34,387
Speaker 2: guntuk Co of Korea. Canberra have crossed again. They're checking

1740
01:25:34,427 --> 01:25:38,907
Speaker 2: it so if they score. If this is given, it's

1741
01:25:38,987 --> 01:25:42,267
Speaker 2: twenty points to four with four minutes gone in the

1742
01:25:42,307 --> 01:25:45,827
Speaker 2: second half, So we'll keep an eye on that rather

1743
01:25:45,867 --> 01:25:48,547
Speaker 2: than hang around and see what the bunker decide, I

1744
01:25:48,547 --> 01:25:51,107
Speaker 2: think we sort of move on. Mike Hessen standing by

1745
01:25:51,107 --> 01:25:53,227
Speaker 2: the chat to us he's gonna look at the black

1746
01:25:53,307 --> 01:25:56,547
Speaker 2: Caps India game tonight. Not so much around this game

1747
01:25:56,587 --> 01:25:59,987
Speaker 2: because the Champions Trophy in New Zealand and India are

1748
01:25:59,987 --> 01:26:04,347
Speaker 2: both already through to the semi finals. Depending on the

1749
01:26:04,347 --> 01:26:06,947
Speaker 2: result tonight, New Zealand will play either South Africa or

1750
01:26:06,987 --> 01:26:09,427
Speaker 2: Australia in the semi finals. What is Mike Hessen seen

1751
01:26:09,947 --> 01:26:12,987
Speaker 2: from the team that he used to coach in terms

1752
01:26:12,987 --> 01:26:15,467
Speaker 2: of their their excellent form in the last little while.

1753
01:26:15,467 --> 01:26:17,667
Speaker 2: I think it's five is at five One Day International

1754
01:26:17,667 --> 01:26:20,467
Speaker 2: wins in a row, and there will be tough tonight.

1755
01:26:20,707 --> 01:26:22,747
Speaker 2: As I say, it doesn't actually matter in terms of

1756
01:26:22,787 --> 01:26:25,307
Speaker 2: the result. But I begin to hear from Mike Hesson

1757
01:26:25,347 --> 01:26:28,827
Speaker 2: as well, who he thinks New Zealand matches up best against.

1758
01:26:29,307 --> 01:26:33,467
Speaker 2: And Noel Barkley, former All White striker and a very

1759
01:26:33,507 --> 01:26:36,187
Speaker 2: keen observer of football at all levels, going to try

1760
01:26:36,187 --> 01:26:39,067
Speaker 2: and break down the four all draw we saw yesterday

1761
01:26:39,387 --> 01:26:42,907
Speaker 2: at go Media Stadium. Auckland FC had the best defense

1762
01:26:42,947 --> 01:26:45,627
Speaker 2: in the league before yesterday, still do actually, but they

1763
01:26:45,707 --> 01:26:48,987
Speaker 2: let four and they scored for themselves, so that'll be pleasing.

1764
01:26:49,547 --> 01:26:51,307
Speaker 2: What did Noel Barkley see and that? And I say

1765
01:26:51,347 --> 01:26:53,987
Speaker 2: back to the golf with Andrew Ordison at Milbrook. Are

01:27:23,507 --> 01:27:25,827
Speaker 2: of work to do for the warriors. Let's leave that

1776

Speaker 2: with wins over Bangladesh and host Pakistan.

1839
01:31:11,787 --> 01:31:16,587
Speaker 22: That's it, It's all over. Henry does the job and

1840
01:31:16,707 --> 01:31:21,387
Speaker 22: New Zealand win this match convincingly by sixty runs.

1841
01:31:21,947 --> 01:31:25,187
Speaker 2: It's been a polished performance. Former black Caps coach and

1842
01:31:25,227 --> 01:31:28,107
Speaker 2: one of the more astute cricket analysts going around, Mike

1843
01:31:28,187 --> 01:31:30,747
Speaker 2: Hessen is with us, having watched I reckon pretty much

1844
01:31:30,787 --> 01:31:33,187
Speaker 2: every ball of the tournament, judging from your social media

1845
01:31:33,307 --> 01:31:35,347
Speaker 2: and the stuff I've seen from your Mike, thanks for

1846
01:31:35,427 --> 01:31:37,547
Speaker 2: joining us. What have you made of New Zealand's performances

1847
01:31:37,587 --> 01:31:44,787
Speaker 2: so far in their opening wins over Pakistan and Bangladesh.

1848
01:31:42,867 --> 01:31:46,947
Speaker 23: I thought very yeah, very clinical, really done as much

1849
01:31:46,947 --> 01:31:49,347
Speaker 23: as they needed to do. I thought against Pakistan, which

1850
01:31:49,427 --> 01:31:52,107
Speaker 23: was always going to be a really tough game. Obviously

1851
01:31:52,107 --> 01:31:56,787
Speaker 23: against the home nation, New Zealand were exceptional. And what

1852
01:31:56,907 --> 01:31:58,307
Speaker 23: I like, I guess is that there are so many

1853
01:31:58,307 --> 01:32:00,667
Speaker 23: different players that have stood up at different times. So

1854
01:32:01,107 --> 01:32:04,467
Speaker 23: obviously Rutchan missed the first part, you know, turns up

1855
01:32:04,507 --> 01:32:06,707
Speaker 23: and bangs out one of the best hundreds you'll and

1856
01:32:06,707 --> 01:32:09,387
Speaker 23: then prior to that, Tom Lathan was obviously under the

1857
01:32:09,427 --> 01:32:13,387
Speaker 23: pump heading into the tournament and then just showed you

1858
01:32:13,387 --> 01:32:16,227
Speaker 23: know how good he is. And Will Young, you know,

1859
01:32:16,307 --> 01:32:18,947
Speaker 23: under pressure losing two early wickets, you know, losing Kine

1860
01:32:18,987 --> 01:32:22,347
Speaker 23: and Devin, and then Will Young, who probably wasn't even

1861
01:32:22,387 --> 01:32:23,947
Speaker 23: going to be playing that game, you know, steps up

1862
01:32:23,947 --> 01:32:27,867
Speaker 23: as well. So and you know the spinners have showed

1863
01:32:27,867 --> 01:32:29,987
Speaker 23: that they are as good as any other team around

1864
01:32:29,987 --> 01:32:32,107
Speaker 23: as well. So you know, Michael Brace Will stood up

1865
01:32:32,107 --> 01:32:35,267
Speaker 23: along with Mitchell Satner when required. So yeah, just a

1866
01:32:35,307 --> 01:32:37,387
Speaker 23: really nice performance and I think they're taking along well.

1867
01:32:37,507 --> 01:32:38,907
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to drill down into a couple of

1868
01:32:38,907 --> 01:32:40,747
Speaker 2: points you've made there. Let's start in the top four.

1869
01:32:40,987 --> 01:32:42,747
Speaker 2: Bit of a log jam there, Hess, because if we

1870
01:32:42,787 --> 01:32:46,027
Speaker 2: assume Williamson and Ravendra are two of the top four,

1871
01:32:46,547 --> 01:32:50,427
Speaker 2: when Daryl Mitchell comes back, who misses out Young, Conway Mitchell,

1872
01:32:50,547 --> 01:32:51,827
Speaker 2: what's the makeup of the top four.

1873
01:32:53,227 --> 01:32:56,827
Speaker 23: Yeah, look, I mean Conway's likely to miss out, but

1874
01:32:56,947 --> 01:32:59,027
Speaker 23: it's a shame because he's actually has started to point

1875
01:32:59,107 --> 01:33:01,787
Speaker 23: some touch and you know the Try series he looked

1876
01:33:01,787 --> 01:33:04,867
Speaker 23: one of their best players and I think he would

1877
01:33:04,907 --> 01:33:07,227
Speaker 23: have played ahead of will Young in that opening match.

1878
01:33:07,267 --> 01:33:08,587
Speaker 3: I think if Ruchien would have played.

1879
01:33:08,587 --> 01:33:12,387
Speaker 23: But you know, the quality of will Young's hundred just

1880
01:33:12,467 --> 01:33:16,627
Speaker 23: I guess reaffirmed to the side that you can't leave

1881
01:33:16,667 --> 01:33:19,227
Speaker 23: him out. You know, he's been exceptional the last eighteen months.

1882
01:33:19,307 --> 01:33:21,827
Speaker 23: So it's a shame because Conway's actually played a lot

1883
01:33:21,827 --> 01:33:23,587
Speaker 23: of cricket when he hasn't been in great touch and

1884
01:33:23,627 --> 01:33:26,107
Speaker 23: everyone's sort of been calling for his head and now

1885
01:33:26,147 --> 01:33:28,347
Speaker 23: he's actually playing beautifully and he's probably going to miss out.

1886
01:33:28,387 --> 01:33:31,147
Speaker 23: So I think Mitchell just slots back in the fore

1887
01:33:31,347 --> 01:33:32,627
Speaker 23: where he was before he gets sick.

1888
01:33:33,267 --> 01:33:35,787
Speaker 2: Ruchi and Ravender he mentioned him before the hundred against

1889
01:33:35,827 --> 01:33:38,187
Speaker 2: Bangladesh one hundred and twelve one hundred and five balls

1890
01:33:38,227 --> 01:33:41,787
Speaker 2: without really even looking like he was trying. What do

1891
01:33:41,827 --> 01:33:44,547
Speaker 2: you think Ruchian Revendra's ceiling might be.

1892
01:33:45,947 --> 01:33:48,627
Speaker 5: Look, it's early, isn't it.

1893
01:33:48,627 --> 01:33:51,547
Speaker 23: But the technique that he has is so repeatable, and

1894
01:33:51,587 --> 01:33:53,427
Speaker 23: I mean he's built that up over obviously a long

1895
01:33:53,467 --> 01:33:56,067
Speaker 23: period of time. You know, he's the epitome of the

1896
01:33:56,107 --> 01:33:57,987
Speaker 23: ten thousand hours are ye just trying to you know,

1897
01:33:58,147 --> 01:34:02,507
Speaker 23: perfect things and his technique and all conditions around the

1898
01:34:02,507 --> 01:34:05,667
Speaker 23: world will stand up. It's just you know, whether he

1899
01:34:05,707 --> 01:34:09,147
Speaker 23: can keep, like guess, that drive to be successful every day,

1900
01:34:09,227 --> 01:34:12,947
Speaker 23: and you know that he seems to have. He seems

1901
01:34:12,947 --> 01:34:15,267
Speaker 23: to have found the tempo that he needs to bat

1902
01:34:15,267 --> 01:34:17,467
Speaker 23: add an international cricket and he's spent a few years

1903
01:34:17,507 --> 01:34:20,187
Speaker 23: in domestic cricket trying to find it. You know, had

1904
01:34:20,187 --> 01:34:21,987
Speaker 23: the odd game, you know New Zealand a and then

1905
01:34:21,987 --> 01:34:25,307
Speaker 23: still went back again never quite clicked. And then once

1906
01:34:25,347 --> 01:34:28,267
Speaker 23: it clicked that you know that that will cup just

1907
01:34:28,307 --> 01:34:30,627
Speaker 23: over a year ago in India. He just hasn't looked

1908
01:34:30,627 --> 01:34:34,347
Speaker 23: back and across all formats. So there's no reason obviously

1909
01:34:34,387 --> 01:34:36,987
Speaker 23: if he can continue doing what he's doing that he

1910
01:34:37,027 --> 01:34:39,547
Speaker 23: can't be right up there in the top echelon of our.

1911
01:34:39,427 --> 01:34:42,547
Speaker 2: Batsman Michael Bracewell one for thirty eight and four for

1912
01:34:42,667 --> 01:34:45,627
Speaker 2: twenty six and his two ten over spells. What is

1913
01:34:45,667 --> 01:34:48,107
Speaker 2: he doing with the ball that is so effective.

1914
01:34:49,467 --> 01:34:51,987
Speaker 23: Well, he's always bring the stumps into play, so even

1915
01:34:51,987 --> 01:34:53,787
Speaker 23: though he's bowling to right handers, you know, he's not

1916
01:34:53,867 --> 01:34:56,347
Speaker 23: afraid of throwing the ball outside off spinning back to

1917
01:34:56,347 --> 01:34:59,467
Speaker 23: the stumps. So you know, often they say, and you

1918
01:34:59,507 --> 01:35:01,467
Speaker 23: know white ball cricket, you know you're off spinner can't

1919
01:35:01,467 --> 01:35:05,467
Speaker 23: bowl to the right hander. But he's got his ability

1920
01:35:05,587 --> 01:35:07,787
Speaker 23: and he's got a lot of overspin on the ball,

1921
01:35:08,147 --> 01:35:10,427
Speaker 23: so he's got huge fingers, so he gets huge amount

1922
01:35:10,427 --> 01:35:11,947
Speaker 23: of revs on the ball, which whilch.

1923
01:35:11,747 --> 01:35:12,387
Speaker 3: Get it to dip.

1924
01:35:12,467 --> 01:35:15,387
Speaker 23: So even if you are looking to take him downtown,

1925
01:35:15,467 --> 01:35:17,227
Speaker 23: you know he gets that overspin, so you end up

1926
01:35:17,307 --> 01:35:19,587
Speaker 23: hitting the top of the bat. You know, you don't

1927
01:35:19,627 --> 01:35:21,547
Speaker 23: hit you don't hit exactly where you want, so it

1928
01:35:21,587 --> 01:35:23,987
Speaker 23: either hits the inside r or the or the top corner.

1929
01:35:24,067 --> 01:35:27,667
Speaker 23: So he's just you know, he's just a really subtle,

1930
01:35:27,947 --> 01:35:31,267
Speaker 23: skillful bowler, and he's got a he's got quite a

1931
01:35:31,267 --> 01:35:33,227
Speaker 23: bit of bravery, you know, in terms of being able

1932
01:35:33,227 --> 01:35:34,827
Speaker 23: to throw the ball up and take take the pace

1933
01:35:34,867 --> 01:35:36,507
Speaker 23: out of it, very similar to much statna.

1934
01:35:36,907 --> 01:35:39,387
Speaker 2: Over half of the overs bold across the entire tournament

1935
01:35:39,467 --> 01:35:43,027
Speaker 2: have been bold by spinners. But what other most effective

1936
01:35:43,507 --> 01:35:46,067
Speaker 2: steam bowl is doing really well that this tournament has.

1937
01:35:48,347 --> 01:35:48,507
Speaker 6: Well?

1938
01:35:48,507 --> 01:35:50,347
Speaker 23: Then woke at too early because they're swinging the new

1939
01:35:50,387 --> 01:35:52,067
Speaker 23: ball and I mean they have to pitch it up,

1940
01:35:52,867 --> 01:35:57,027
Speaker 23: but pitching it up in Pakistan is probably two meters

1941
01:35:57,067 --> 01:35:59,427
Speaker 23: shorter than it is in New Zealand because the low

1942
01:35:59,507 --> 01:36:01,787
Speaker 23: skiddy bounce. So they're pitching it up. They're finding a

1943
01:36:01,827 --> 01:36:03,787
Speaker 23: link that still brings in the top of the stumps

1944
01:36:04,787 --> 01:36:07,227
Speaker 23: and therefore allowing the ball to swill, but also not

1945
01:36:07,427 --> 01:36:09,267
Speaker 23: you know, not that long half folly where you can

1946
01:36:09,667 --> 01:36:10,947
Speaker 23: you can lean into it easily.

1947
01:36:10,987 --> 01:36:11,787
Speaker 5: So they're doing that.

1948
01:36:11,907 --> 01:36:14,787
Speaker 23: And then at the back end, when you know everyone

1949
01:36:14,827 --> 01:36:17,347
Speaker 23: else is going around the park, they're actually hitting the corners.

1950
01:36:17,387 --> 01:36:19,707
Speaker 23: So they're not they're not going out to stumps. They're

1951
01:36:19,747 --> 01:36:22,987
Speaker 23: either trying to hit the inside heel, they're trying to

1952
01:36:23,027 --> 01:36:24,787
Speaker 23: bowl that slide we'll bounce through. All that bounce is

1953
01:36:24,907 --> 01:36:27,667
Speaker 23: sort of just over your left eye, or they're hitting

1954
01:36:27,707 --> 01:36:30,387
Speaker 23: the wideline, you know, they're not bowling down Main Street,

1955
01:36:30,387 --> 01:36:32,187
Speaker 23: which is sort of down that you know, off stump

1956
01:36:32,267 --> 01:36:34,147
Speaker 23: to fifth stump, which is pretty much where the batters

1957
01:36:34,147 --> 01:36:35,507
Speaker 23: are trying to line it up at that time.

1958
01:36:36,107 --> 01:36:38,987
Speaker 2: Are you starting to see Mitchell Santner's Captain c style

1959
01:36:39,747 --> 01:36:41,747
Speaker 2: start to develop in fifty over cricket.

1960
01:36:42,827 --> 01:36:45,547
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think we are. I think he's he's certainly

1961
01:36:45,587 --> 01:36:48,907
Speaker 23: not afraid of using spin, and I suppose that's you know,

1962
01:36:48,907 --> 01:36:51,747
Speaker 23: obviously byproduct of what he does. But he also you know,

1963
01:36:51,827 --> 01:36:54,147
Speaker 23: he's he's seeing a quick match up and he's he's

1964
01:36:54,267 --> 01:36:58,027
Speaker 23: instinctively making the change. You know, you see Phillips coming

1965
01:36:58,067 --> 01:36:59,627
Speaker 23: when they are too left handers, you know, when they're

1966
01:36:59,667 --> 01:37:02,507
Speaker 23: playing Bangladesh, you know straight away you bring them in.

1967
01:37:02,507 --> 01:37:04,227
Speaker 23: It might only be for two overs, but that just

1968
01:37:04,267 --> 01:37:07,227
Speaker 23: gives them a lot of flexibility. I think we're going

1969
01:37:07,267 --> 01:37:10,067
Speaker 23: to see a little bit more of his style with

1970
01:37:10,187 --> 01:37:14,227
Speaker 23: the next selection because at the moment our seamers are

1971
01:37:14,347 --> 01:37:17,227
Speaker 23: very front end loaded. So you know, all three of

1972
01:37:17,267 --> 01:37:23,067
Speaker 23: our seamers, you know, Henry O'Rourke and Jamison are very

1973
01:37:23,187 --> 01:37:25,387
Speaker 23: much new ball bowlers and they're very good in the

1974
01:37:25,387 --> 01:37:28,067
Speaker 23: first fifteen overs of the map. Neither of them you

1975
01:37:28,067 --> 01:37:30,907
Speaker 23: would say specialists at the back end. So it's just

1976
01:37:30,947 --> 01:37:33,027
Speaker 23: whether the New Zealand are going to be happy going

1977
01:37:33,067 --> 01:37:34,987
Speaker 23: that way and trying to take wickets early and then

1978
01:37:35,067 --> 01:37:38,107
Speaker 23: squeeze with spin, or whether they might look at someone

1979
01:37:38,187 --> 01:37:40,467
Speaker 23: like a Duffy who can probably more control the middle

1980
01:37:40,507 --> 01:37:43,827
Speaker 23: in the end a little bit better than Jamison for example.

1981
01:37:43,867 --> 01:37:45,707
Speaker 2: So that'll be the style they want to go.

1982
01:37:45,907 --> 01:37:46,627
Speaker 3: You know they want to go.

1983
01:37:46,667 --> 01:37:49,347
Speaker 23: Do we want to attack with Jamison or we want

1984
01:37:49,347 --> 01:37:51,187
Speaker 23: to have a bit more control with someone like Duffy.

1985
01:37:51,707 --> 01:37:54,507
Speaker 2: You're tweeted last night if someone says the New Zealand

1986
01:37:54,587 --> 01:37:57,507
Speaker 2: the India match at the Champions Trophy is a dead rubber,

1987
01:37:57,747 --> 01:38:00,947
Speaker 2: they clearly don't understand the psyche of top athletes today.

1988
01:38:01,507 --> 01:38:04,387
Speaker 2: How important is a good performance for New Zealand tonight?

1989
01:38:05,387 --> 01:38:07,427
Speaker 23: Well, I mean New Zealand one one days in a row.

1990
01:38:07,547 --> 01:38:10,347
Speaker 23: Now that's you know, that is that gives you confidence.

1991
01:38:10,387 --> 01:38:12,027
Speaker 23: You know, that gives you a real belief heading into

1992
01:38:12,067 --> 01:38:13,827
Speaker 23: the playoff side of things. So the last thing you

1993
01:38:13,867 --> 01:38:15,867
Speaker 23: want to do is take the foot off the gas.

1994
01:38:16,227 --> 01:38:18,187
Speaker 23: That we know one in that lineup that's saying hey

1995
01:38:18,187 --> 01:38:20,747
Speaker 23: give me a rest. I can guarantee you that you know,

1996
01:38:20,787 --> 01:38:23,707
Speaker 23: they'll be wanting to play against India in Dubai. They

1997
01:38:23,747 --> 01:38:25,907
Speaker 23: will be wanting to challenge themselves against the best, and

1998
01:38:25,907 --> 01:38:28,467
Speaker 23: they won't be wanting to stand out and quite rightfully,

1999
01:38:28,507 --> 01:38:31,667
Speaker 23: they'll want they'll be wanting to win and that'll obviously

2000
01:38:31,667 --> 01:38:34,907
Speaker 23: dictate who they play in the Semis. But you know

2001
01:38:34,947 --> 01:38:37,067
Speaker 23: the most important thing is that New Zealand win and

2002
01:38:37,067 --> 01:38:39,427
Speaker 23: they gain confidence heading into the playoffs.

2003
01:38:38,987 --> 01:38:41,227
Speaker 2: All right, And if they do win, they'll face Australia.

2004
01:38:41,267 --> 01:38:44,387
Speaker 2: If they were to lose tonight, they'll take on South Africa.

2005
01:38:44,427 --> 01:38:47,507
Speaker 2: Do you think it's that New Zealand match up better

2006
01:38:47,587 --> 01:38:49,827
Speaker 2: against one or the other of those two nations.

2007
01:38:50,747 --> 01:38:53,067
Speaker 23: I think New Zealand match up better against Australia at

2008
01:38:53,067 --> 01:38:55,107
Speaker 23: the moment, just with the Australian squad that they have.

2009
01:38:55,667 --> 01:38:58,627
Speaker 23: I mean that bowling line up is very inexperienced. Bar

2010
01:38:58,787 --> 01:39:02,547
Speaker 23: Adam Zampa. You know, we saw Spencer Johnson the other

2011
01:39:02,627 --> 01:39:06,307
Speaker 23: day in conditions that you know were very favorable. You know,

2012
01:39:06,347 --> 01:39:08,587
Speaker 23: they should have had it had Afghanistan four for twenty

2013
01:39:08,747 --> 01:39:12,147
Speaker 23: on that sort of surface. If if Spencer Johnson was

2014
01:39:12,187 --> 01:39:13,787
Speaker 23: able to land the ball in the same spot, you

2015
01:39:13,787 --> 01:39:16,347
Speaker 23: know more than twice. So if they had a Josh

2016
01:39:16,387 --> 01:39:20,707
Speaker 23: Hazelwood or Mitch or a Cummins or even a Stark,

2017
01:39:20,987 --> 01:39:23,027
Speaker 23: you know, that game would have been over before it started.

2018
01:39:23,067 --> 01:39:26,627
Speaker 23: So I think, you know, the Aussie batting lineup is

2019
01:39:26,667 --> 01:39:29,267
Speaker 23: still dangerous, but they don't have that middle order power

2020
01:39:29,307 --> 01:39:31,947
Speaker 23: that they that they had previously either, you know, with

2021
01:39:31,987 --> 01:39:35,787
Speaker 23: your Stillness and Mitch marsh and coast. So there's there's

2022
01:39:35,787 --> 01:39:38,707
Speaker 23: definitely some holes on that Australian side. You know, Matt

2023
01:39:38,707 --> 01:39:41,267
Speaker 23: Schortz just got out injured as well, so they are

2024
01:39:41,667 --> 01:39:44,787
Speaker 23: they are reeling a bit. That's another reason why New

2025
01:39:44,867 --> 01:39:46,427
Speaker 23: Zealand have to make sure they put the foot down

2026
01:39:46,427 --> 01:39:47,387
Speaker 23: against India today.

2027
01:39:47,867 --> 01:39:49,987
Speaker 2: Pretty brutal hours for cricket fans on this side of

2028
01:39:49,987 --> 01:39:52,667
Speaker 2: the world. Here ten o'clock starts New Zealand timing. You're

2029
01:39:52,667 --> 01:39:53,747
Speaker 2: getting any sleep.

2030
01:39:54,907 --> 01:39:55,347
Speaker 3: Not a lot?

2031
01:39:55,387 --> 01:39:57,387
Speaker 23: I mean I genually log in about eight thirty for

2032
01:39:57,467 --> 01:40:00,027
Speaker 23: the pre shows over there and finished about seven in

2033
01:40:00,067 --> 01:40:02,827
Speaker 23: the morning, so it's I didn't stay the whole night

2034
01:40:02,867 --> 01:40:05,467
Speaker 23: last night. Thinkfully, I've got a bit of sleep, but yeah,

2035
01:40:05,467 --> 01:40:06,347
Speaker 23: tonight it'll be a big night.

2036
01:40:06,507 --> 01:40:08,747
Speaker 2: Sure, fantastic. Well appreciate you taking the time to chet

2037
01:40:08,787 --> 01:40:11,427
Speaker 2: to us. As always, always appreciate your expertise.

2038
01:40:12,187 --> 01:40:13,387
Speaker 5: Pleasure, Thanks Bunny.

2039
01:40:13,187 --> 01:40:15,307
Speaker 2: No, thank you Mike Mikesessen there, former Black Caps coach

2040
01:40:15,387 --> 01:40:19,627
Speaker 2: and yeah, highly sought after cricket analysts. So yeah, ten

2041
01:40:19,667 --> 01:40:24,587
Speaker 2: o'clock tonight. That game is underway. New Zealand up against

2042
01:40:24,627 --> 01:40:27,707
Speaker 2: India in Dubai. As I've said a couple of times,

2043
01:40:27,747 --> 01:40:30,307
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. If New Zealand lose the game, they will

2044
01:40:30,307 --> 01:40:33,107
Speaker 2: still go through to the semifinals. If they were to lose,

2045
01:40:33,147 --> 01:40:36,227
Speaker 2: they will take on South Africa. If they win the game,

2046
01:40:36,307 --> 01:40:39,867
Speaker 2: they will face Australia. That's the way that the drawer

2047
01:40:40,427 --> 01:40:42,987
Speaker 2: is at the moment, and that game, regardless of whether

2048
01:40:43,387 --> 01:40:47,867
Speaker 2: they finished top or second, is on Wednesday night. Wednesday

2049
01:40:47,947 --> 01:40:51,507
Speaker 2: night at ten o'clock. Doesn't matter which of the results

2050
01:40:51,627 --> 01:40:55,587
Speaker 2: happens tonight, the semi final involving New Zealand Wednesday night

2051
01:40:55,667 --> 01:41:00,387
Speaker 2: against either South Africa or Australia from ten o'clock. Now,

2052
01:41:03,027 --> 01:41:04,747
Speaker 2: I just looked up and I saw two screens. I

2053
01:41:04,747 --> 01:41:06,587
Speaker 2: was looking at the cricket. Andy's alerted me to the

2054
01:41:06,667 --> 01:41:09,827
Speaker 2: rugby League. Is that another Canberra try we see up there?

2055
01:41:10,267 --> 01:41:13,067
Speaker 2: I wish you hadn't startled me that way, Andy, But

2056
01:41:13,467 --> 01:41:16,747
Speaker 2: twenty six points to four now, so this is turning

2057
01:41:16,787 --> 01:41:20,547
Speaker 2: into a rather unfortunate opening to the twenty twenty five

2058
01:41:20,667 --> 01:41:23,787
Speaker 2: NRL season for the Warriors. As the Raiders go pretty

2059
01:41:23,867 --> 01:41:26,427
Speaker 2: much the length of the field at Allegiance Stadium to

2060
01:41:26,467 --> 01:41:29,907
Speaker 2: score another try which should be converted. It's pretty adjacent

2061
01:41:29,907 --> 01:41:32,947
Speaker 2: to the posts. Twenty six y four likely to be

2062
01:41:33,027 --> 01:41:36,867
Speaker 2: twenty eight four with twenty four minutes to go in

2063
01:41:36,947 --> 01:41:40,267
Speaker 2: the NRL for the Warriors. Now, I was just trying

2064
01:41:40,267 --> 01:41:43,227
Speaker 2: to check on the cricket score because Auckland have actually

2065
01:41:44,267 --> 01:41:48,347
Speaker 2: mounted a pretty good rearguard action to give themselves a

2066
01:41:48,467 --> 01:41:52,187
Speaker 2: chance in the Ford Trophy Final, having been in deep

2067
01:41:52,267 --> 01:41:55,347
Speaker 2: stook earlier at twenty for three and then fifty seven

2068
01:41:55,827 --> 01:41:58,667
Speaker 2: for five, they've got through. I think they've just lost

2069
01:41:58,667 --> 01:42:00,747
Speaker 2: their ninth wicket looking up at the screen, but two

2070
01:42:00,867 --> 01:42:06,027
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight for nine, led by some pretty

2071
01:42:06,027 --> 01:42:09,427
Speaker 2: good score from their middle and lower order. Simon Keane

2072
01:42:09,827 --> 01:42:14,187
Speaker 2: forty eight Lockey Stackpole is unbeaten on fifty five. Louis

2073
01:42:14,227 --> 01:42:17,787
Speaker 2: delport has I think scored his highest ever One Day

2074
01:42:17,867 --> 01:42:22,307
Speaker 2: score out for thirty six two hundred and thirty eight

2075
01:42:22,347 --> 01:42:26,187
Speaker 2: for nine worth a couple of overs to go, so look,

2076
01:42:26,187 --> 01:42:28,507
Speaker 2: they could push two fifty. I know in the modern

2077
01:42:28,587 --> 01:42:31,187
Speaker 2: day game that isn't a big score, but when you're

2078
01:42:31,227 --> 01:42:34,347
Speaker 2: fifty seven for five, you probably take two fifty. Canterbury

2079
01:42:34,347 --> 01:42:36,187
Speaker 2: will come out to chase that at the University of

2080
01:42:36,227 --> 01:42:40,787
Speaker 2: Otago Oval in Dunedin. When this innings eventually wraps up,

2081
01:42:40,827 --> 01:42:44,187
Speaker 2: we'll give you the completed inning score of Auckland in

2082
01:42:44,227 --> 01:42:47,347
Speaker 2: the next little while. Two twenty six it is you're

2083
01:42:47,347 --> 01:42:51,227
Speaker 2: watching the cricket. I mean, I think I probably will

2084
01:42:51,267 --> 01:42:54,627
Speaker 2: watch at least the first innings tonight, certainly on Wednesday night.

2085
01:42:54,707 --> 01:42:57,867
Speaker 2: See that's nigglie. It's a semi final. You kind of

2086
01:42:57,867 --> 01:43:01,747
Speaker 2: have to watch it midweek, have to go to work

2087
01:43:01,787 --> 01:43:06,107
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Yeah, I'll negotiate that. I'll work out mine

2088
01:43:06,107 --> 01:43:09,747
Speaker 2: agociation tactics for that. Maybe as Wednesday draws a little

2089
01:43:09,787 --> 01:43:12,627
Speaker 2: bit closer, we'll take a break. On the other side,

2090
01:43:12,667 --> 01:43:15,627
Speaker 2: we'll flick across the football. A four to four draw

2091
01:43:16,107 --> 01:43:20,787
Speaker 2: between Auckland FC and Adelaide United at go Media Stadium yesterday.

2092
01:43:20,787 --> 01:43:22,747
Speaker 2: We'll try and unpack that for you with former or

2093
01:43:22,787 --> 01:43:23,707
Speaker 2: White Noel Barkley.

2094
01:43:24,267 --> 01:43:27,787
Speaker 1: The biggest seams in sports are on Weekend Sports with

2095
01:43:27,987 --> 01:43:32,467
Speaker 1: Jason Pain and GJ gunnomes New Zealand's most trusted home builder.

2096
01:43:32,587 --> 01:43:33,587
Speaker 1: News Talks NB.

2097
01:43:33,827 --> 01:43:36,067
Speaker 2: Two twenty nine on Weekend Sport. Here on News Talks,

2098
01:43:36,027 --> 01:43:38,907
Speaker 2: They'd be extraordinary game of football in the A League

2099
01:43:38,947 --> 01:43:43,387
Speaker 2: at go Media Stadium, Mount Smart yesterday between Auckland f

2100
01:43:43,467 --> 01:43:47,667
Speaker 2: C and Adelaide United. Late late, late in the game,

2101
01:43:48,427 --> 01:43:52,227
Speaker 2: Hiroki Sarki, Auckland FC's captain, scored a goal that took

2102
01:43:52,267 --> 01:43:54,307
Speaker 2: Auckland f C into a four to three lead. This

2103
01:43:54,467 --> 01:43:56,467
Speaker 2: was I think in the second or third minute of

2104
01:43:56,627 --> 01:43:59,627
Speaker 2: added time and it looked as though Auckland f C

2105
01:43:59,747 --> 01:44:02,227
Speaker 2: would steal all three points, not steal them, but take

2106
01:44:02,267 --> 01:44:05,107
Speaker 2: all three points and a seven goal thriller. But there

2107
01:44:05,147 --> 01:44:05,867
Speaker 2: was more to come.

2108
01:44:06,507 --> 01:44:09,747
Speaker 6: Still there.

2109
01:44:10,187 --> 01:44:12,547
Speaker 3: Chapter has been and.

2110
01:44:12,667 --> 01:44:19,947
Speaker 21: Breams has fine hope from close range and the energy sucked.

2111
01:44:19,587 --> 01:44:24,427
Speaker 2: Out of this grounds as one important defender score the

2112
01:44:24,507 --> 01:44:29,267
Speaker 2: goal ethor would give her side victory. The Dutchman Dart

2113
01:44:29,387 --> 01:44:34,507
Speaker 2: Freens scores the eighth goal of an incredible A League

2114
01:44:34,547 --> 01:44:39,067
Speaker 2: match and brings it vector four four for all the

2115
01:44:39,107 --> 01:44:42,147
Speaker 2: final score. Let's bring in former All White striker Noel Barkley,

2116
01:44:42,187 --> 01:44:45,147
Speaker 2: who's been a keen observer of Auckland FC in their

2117
01:44:45,187 --> 01:44:48,987
Speaker 2: maiden season and has always had a very good footballing brain. Noel,

2118
01:44:48,987 --> 01:44:52,947
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us. Let's start with what happened during

2119
01:44:52,987 --> 01:44:56,187
Speaker 2: the game yesterday. Having led two nil, three to one

2120
01:44:56,627 --> 01:45:00,147
Speaker 2: and four to three late on. Would Auckland FC coach

2121
01:45:00,147 --> 01:45:03,387
Speaker 2: Steve Kriker see this as as two points dropped?

2122
01:45:04,307 --> 01:45:07,187
Speaker 24: Well, I think we, I think anybody would and perspective

2123
01:45:07,227 --> 01:45:09,267
Speaker 24: we'll see it as a.

2124
01:45:08,947 --> 01:45:10,867
Speaker 8: Point to drop. After the game.

2125
01:45:11,307 --> 01:45:15,267
Speaker 24: In my group of peers, we just everybody was completely

2126
01:45:15,307 --> 01:45:16,747
Speaker 24: done and felt like a loss. I had to keep

2127
01:45:16,787 --> 01:45:19,427
Speaker 24: reminding ourselves that we actually drew with the second best

2128
01:45:19,467 --> 01:45:23,747
Speaker 24: team in the league. So it felt awful yesterday and

2129
01:45:23,827 --> 01:45:25,347
Speaker 24: it just was a bit of a killer the way

2130
01:45:25,387 --> 01:45:28,787
Speaker 24: it happened. But you know, the game had absolutely everything

2131
01:45:28,787 --> 01:45:31,307
Speaker 24: that you would want any game. Lots of goals, an

2132
01:45:31,347 --> 01:45:36,347
Speaker 24: absolute worldy by with my preer defending for both teams

2133
01:45:36,387 --> 01:45:39,747
Speaker 24: really for a couple of the goals, and you know,

2134
01:45:40,107 --> 01:45:41,747
Speaker 24: a game that you're on the edge of the seat.

2135
01:45:42,387 --> 01:45:45,787
Speaker 24: Some sort of controversy around around the penalties and there's

2136
01:45:45,827 --> 01:45:49,627
Speaker 24: some discussion around that obviously, but yeah, look what an

2137
01:45:49,667 --> 01:45:51,667
Speaker 24: advert for the A League. Even the Australians must be

2138
01:45:51,707 --> 01:45:53,627
Speaker 24: starting to think it offers a good thing for the

2139
01:45:53,667 --> 01:45:58,027
Speaker 24: league because they certainly certainly up in the attendances and

2140
01:45:57,347 --> 01:46:01,427
Speaker 24: the and the eyeballs and everything's good about it and

2141
01:46:02,227 --> 01:46:03,947
Speaker 24: great to see the best two teams in the league.

2142
01:46:04,147 --> 01:46:06,347
Speaker 2: Yeah, now that the narrative coming out of astrolier YaST

2143
01:46:06,547 --> 01:46:07,227
Speaker 2: was exactly there.

2144
01:46:07,307 --> 01:46:07,667
Speaker 3: They were.

2145
01:46:07,907 --> 01:46:10,107
Speaker 2: They were as captivated by it as we all were.

2146
01:46:10,147 --> 01:46:11,827
Speaker 2: And probably from a neutral's point of view, it's a

2147
01:46:11,827 --> 01:46:14,387
Speaker 2: lot easy. Yeah, the base rather than being a fan

2148
01:46:14,427 --> 01:46:16,747
Speaker 2: of one of the teams. Akin, the FC is a team, no,

2149
01:46:16,867 --> 01:46:19,347
Speaker 2: that's been built on the best defense in the camp.

2150
01:46:19,507 --> 01:46:22,507
Speaker 2: So how disappointed will they be that they let four

2151
01:46:22,547 --> 01:46:24,667
Speaker 2: goals and let those leads slip?

2152
01:46:26,187 --> 01:46:28,987
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean, I guess you could bring them for

2153
01:46:29,107 --> 01:46:31,387
Speaker 24: all four goals, because I mean they did they did

2154
01:46:31,427 --> 01:46:33,987
Speaker 24: get two penalties, and yes they were soft, but there

2155
01:46:34,067 --> 01:46:38,187
Speaker 24: was you know, there's certainly contact here and there, and

2156
01:46:38,267 --> 01:46:41,467
Speaker 24: they did defending and the last goal was just absolutely terrible.

2157
01:46:41,507 --> 01:46:43,867
Speaker 24: So that they'll be guffed because that is their their

2158
01:46:43,907 --> 01:46:47,147
Speaker 24: men's stay. And then they're not big goal scorers at

2159
01:46:47,627 --> 01:46:50,107
Speaker 24: ten in the last two games and sort of refute that.

2160
01:46:50,187 --> 01:46:53,147
Speaker 8: But over the over the.

2161
01:46:52,227 --> 01:46:55,347
Speaker 24: Season they've really sort of been one one, let two no,

2162
01:46:55,547 --> 01:46:58,227
Speaker 24: and you can go without letting again. So they're not

2163
01:46:58,347 --> 01:47:02,747
Speaker 24: prolific apart from lately, so they'll be gutted and they'll

2164
01:47:02,787 --> 01:47:06,227
Speaker 24: be destroyed it. You know, they're given so many goals.

2165
01:47:06,387 --> 01:47:08,387
Speaker 24: I think it's three to one. They thought the game

2166
01:47:08,467 --> 01:47:11,227
Speaker 24: is over. I'm not sure what's happened with Max Maler,

2167
01:47:11,307 --> 01:47:13,147
Speaker 24: whether he's injured. He took him off last week and

2168
01:47:13,147 --> 01:47:15,267
Speaker 24: that was fine because it was it was a walkover,

2169
01:47:16,787 --> 01:47:19,347
Speaker 24: and but yesterday at three one, that game was far

2170
01:47:19,427 --> 01:47:22,307
Speaker 24: from over. Fifty five minutes to take away your sort

2171
01:47:22,347 --> 01:47:24,307
Speaker 24: of men focal point dot front was a bit of

2172
01:47:24,307 --> 01:47:26,827
Speaker 24: a strange one for me. I can only presume there's

2173
01:47:26,827 --> 01:47:27,987
Speaker 24: something else going on there.

2174
01:47:28,107 --> 01:47:30,587
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder about Max Marta and whether he's carrying

2175
01:47:30,587 --> 01:47:33,707
Speaker 2: an injury. But you like that that that change in

2176
01:47:33,747 --> 01:47:36,467
Speaker 2: formation with Max Marta. Did you and my have been

2177
01:47:36,547 --> 01:47:38,667
Speaker 2: paid together up top for Auckland f C in the

2178
01:47:38,707 --> 01:47:41,067
Speaker 2: last few games, but earlier in the season all it

2179
01:47:41,147 --> 01:47:43,747
Speaker 2: was my up top by himself with sort of more

2180
01:47:43,787 --> 01:47:46,547
Speaker 2: you know, wide wingers like Gillian and Rogerson and Brumer

2181
01:47:46,627 --> 01:47:50,507
Speaker 2: behind you like the two pronged detect that Max Marta brings.

2182
01:47:50,867 --> 01:47:53,067
Speaker 24: Yeah, I think, well it's bought the best in my

2183
01:47:53,307 --> 01:47:56,787
Speaker 24: because he's better, better facing goal and than back to goal.

2184
01:47:57,667 --> 01:48:00,507
Speaker 8: You know, he's obviously got a terrific shot.

2185
01:48:00,907 --> 01:48:03,747
Speaker 24: And Max, I mean Max run has got off.

2186
01:48:03,827 --> 01:48:04,907
Speaker 8: Rogerson's another one.

2187
01:48:04,947 --> 01:48:06,827
Speaker 24: They just put themselves a boat and they make it

2188
01:48:06,867 --> 01:48:08,227
Speaker 24: really difficult for defenders.

2189
01:48:08,267 --> 01:48:10,827
Speaker 8: They worked really hard and you.

2190
01:48:10,747 --> 01:48:13,467
Speaker 24: Know they're both popping up with the odd goal and

2191
01:48:13,627 --> 01:48:15,547
Speaker 24: that had definitely been a bit of a change and

2192
01:48:15,587 --> 01:48:19,347
Speaker 24: it's brought the best in my and then you know,

2193
01:48:19,427 --> 01:48:21,547
Speaker 24: really sort of become more of an attacking team. The

2194
01:48:21,587 --> 01:48:24,147
Speaker 24: first early on games we were sort of scratching wins.

2195
01:48:24,427 --> 01:48:26,387
Speaker 8: So yeah, look it's it's they.

2196
01:48:26,587 --> 01:48:29,827
Speaker 24: You know, it's interesting making those subs at fifty five

2197
01:48:29,867 --> 01:48:32,427
Speaker 24: minutes because the game's not over, especially again at a

2198
01:48:32,507 --> 01:48:34,867
Speaker 24: team like Adelide. I think I saw it again this

2199
01:48:34,907 --> 01:48:36,787
Speaker 24: morning and I had a bit of a different perspective.

2200
01:48:36,827 --> 01:48:40,427
Speaker 24: I think the disappointment took over yesterday. But Adelaide pid

2201
01:48:40,507 --> 01:48:43,867
Speaker 24: fabulous in the second half. I probably didn't see that yesterday,

2202
01:48:44,547 --> 01:48:47,507
Speaker 24: so gutted, but they said they've got great and they

2203
01:48:47,627 --> 01:48:50,467
Speaker 24: really really took it to Oakland and and you know,

2204
01:48:50,507 --> 01:48:54,627
Speaker 24: they put themselves in situations where things happened and goals happened,

2205
01:48:54,627 --> 01:48:57,227
Speaker 24: in penalties and stuff like that. So the fair played

2206
01:48:57,267 --> 01:49:00,027
Speaker 24: them and definitely a great side and they'll be stronger

2207
01:49:00,027 --> 01:49:02,027
Speaker 24: when they get there. Under twenty soccer.

2208
01:49:01,827 --> 01:49:04,107
Speaker 2: Ruses bag and they let's talk about the penalty. Stave

2209
01:49:04,107 --> 01:49:07,267
Speaker 2: car sit off towards. He told both were soft. You've

2210
01:49:07,267 --> 01:49:08,667
Speaker 2: had to look back at them this morning. Do you

2211
01:49:08,707 --> 01:49:09,027
Speaker 2: have of you?

2212
01:49:11,547 --> 01:49:11,747
Speaker 8: Yes?

2213
01:49:11,787 --> 01:49:17,347
Speaker 24: The soft The first penalty, absolutely, he gets touched. And

2214
01:49:17,627 --> 01:49:20,587
Speaker 24: what I can't understand is why the why Var intervened

2215
01:49:20,627 --> 01:49:23,667
Speaker 24: because the referee is five yards behind it and clearly

2216
01:49:23,707 --> 01:49:26,787
Speaker 24: made a decision that the contact wasn't big enough.

2217
01:49:26,827 --> 01:49:27,827
Speaker 8: But of course once.

2218
01:49:27,707 --> 01:49:32,027
Speaker 24: Var interapts, you know he's got a back var, so

2219
01:49:32,147 --> 01:49:34,587
Speaker 24: that in the end I'd say that's a penalty. The

2220
01:49:34,587 --> 01:49:37,187
Speaker 24: second one, I just don't really know what happened there

2221
01:49:37,267 --> 01:49:40,387
Speaker 24: that the pictures didn't really show me enough contact. I

2222
01:49:40,427 --> 01:49:42,627
Speaker 24: have more problem of the second penalty because there was

2223
01:49:42,667 --> 01:49:45,907
Speaker 24: a file on a halfway line which they just ignored

2224
01:49:45,947 --> 01:49:47,987
Speaker 24: and the clarty didn't go back and look at and

2225
01:49:48,107 --> 01:49:49,867
Speaker 24: a lot of people are complaining about that, and that

2226
01:49:49,867 --> 01:49:52,347
Speaker 24: would be my issue the penalty.

2227
01:49:52,347 --> 01:49:54,307
Speaker 8: The second one he is hardly argue.

2228
01:49:54,067 --> 01:49:56,027
Speaker 24: Because obviously he's got a little touch and he goes

2229
01:49:56,067 --> 01:49:58,307
Speaker 24: down and they get a penalty, but I would have

2230
01:49:58,427 --> 01:49:59,787
Speaker 24: liked Ver to go back and have a look at

2231
01:49:59,787 --> 01:50:03,667
Speaker 24: what happened before, which they certainly did for the first penalty.

2232
01:50:03,747 --> 01:50:04,427
Speaker 8: They took it back.

2233
01:50:04,467 --> 01:50:07,507
Speaker 24: But anyway, look, not everybody going to bitch about the

2234
01:50:07,507 --> 01:50:11,987
Speaker 24: penlonies and it's overnight. The cracking game, fantastic advert for

2235
01:50:12,187 --> 01:50:15,027
Speaker 24: the A League. Falkland can just keep going on and

2236
01:50:15,227 --> 01:50:19,027
Speaker 24: you know, home semi final, maybe a home final. It's

2237
01:50:19,067 --> 01:50:21,347
Speaker 24: going to be fantastic for football in New Zealand. Wet

2238
01:50:21,427 --> 01:50:24,067
Speaker 24: round and you know, we all we still want the

2239
01:50:24,067 --> 01:50:27,067
Speaker 24: Phoenix to be there and competitive and so on, so

2240
01:50:27,107 --> 01:50:29,947
Speaker 24: there's no I take no joy in seeing them in

2241
01:50:29,987 --> 01:50:33,067
Speaker 24: the current situation. We want this too, strong teams in

2242
01:50:33,467 --> 01:50:34,947
Speaker 24: New Zealand and as soon as they.

2243
01:50:34,867 --> 01:50:36,227
Speaker 8: Get back to that the better.

2244
01:50:36,627 --> 01:50:39,307
Speaker 2: How do you think Aukland FC have so quickly built

2245
01:50:39,347 --> 01:50:42,147
Speaker 2: such a passionate following Nola. It's the beast to get

2246
01:50:42,147 --> 01:50:44,787
Speaker 2: in down on matchday, isn't it. And all of the

2247
01:50:44,867 --> 01:50:48,227
Speaker 2: Riplica shirts, all the community engagement, my goodness made there

2248
01:50:48,267 --> 01:50:51,267
Speaker 2: was a circus there. You know, what are they doing

2249
01:50:51,307 --> 01:50:52,067
Speaker 2: so well.

2250
01:50:53,187 --> 01:50:55,987
Speaker 24: Engagement with with all the different groups. You know that

2251
01:50:56,187 --> 01:51:00,667
Speaker 24: the port whether it's families, whether it's kids in the playground,

2252
01:51:01,667 --> 01:51:04,747
Speaker 24: in the lines, to all different categories. You know, the

2253
01:51:04,827 --> 01:51:07,627
Speaker 24: ownership group group in Area Anna and Eli a are

2254
01:51:07,667 --> 01:51:12,267
Speaker 24: always there. CEO Nick Becker's walking around shaking everybody's hand.

2255
01:51:12,387 --> 01:51:16,187
Speaker 24: It's a family thing. It's just it's they've created something

2256
01:51:16,227 --> 01:51:18,707
Speaker 24: that we all hope that we would say one day

2257
01:51:18,707 --> 01:51:21,347
Speaker 24: in New Zealand, and you have this fanatical group of

2258
01:51:21,467 --> 01:51:25,947
Speaker 24: fans support expanding week by week who you know, young

2259
01:51:25,987 --> 01:51:27,907
Speaker 24: guys and girls.

2260
01:51:28,187 --> 01:51:32,147
Speaker 8: And kids on the periphery. It's just fantastic. I think

2261
01:51:32,147 --> 01:51:33,507
Speaker 8: it's just we all.

2262
01:51:33,427 --> 01:51:35,547
Speaker 24: Had this vision that you know, many many years ago,

2263
01:51:35,587 --> 01:51:38,067
Speaker 24: that this would we would have something like this, and

2264
01:51:38,667 --> 01:51:40,587
Speaker 24: it's like a steamer at a minute, it just doesn't

2265
01:51:40,627 --> 01:51:43,187
Speaker 24: seem to stop. And I mean, it's got really relatively

2266
01:51:44,027 --> 01:51:46,507
Speaker 24: easy games in the next three games, and I think

2267
01:51:46,507 --> 01:51:49,987
Speaker 24: getting that number one homes semifinal is so important. I

2268
01:51:49,987 --> 01:51:52,227
Speaker 24: wouldn't really want to be going to play Adelaide away

2269
01:51:52,267 --> 01:51:55,467
Speaker 24: in a final and maybe jumping ahead too much, but

2270
01:51:55,907 --> 01:51:56,667
Speaker 24: it's hard not to.

2271
01:51:56,947 --> 01:51:58,707
Speaker 2: Oh, I think you're right now. You look at the table.

2272
01:51:59,347 --> 01:52:02,907
Speaker 2: The point I got yesterday leaves an eight point buffer

2273
01:52:02,987 --> 01:52:05,667
Speaker 2: back to Adelaide. You notited and Wiston United who have

2274
01:52:05,707 --> 01:52:08,787
Speaker 2: played one, you know, one more game. Eight points is

2275
01:52:08,787 --> 01:52:11,587
Speaker 2: a lot to make up in eight games. It feels

2276
01:52:11,707 --> 01:52:14,427
Speaker 2: to me as though Auckland FC have one hand on

2277
01:52:14,467 --> 01:52:16,347
Speaker 2: the on the premius players they call it. Is that

2278
01:52:16,427 --> 01:52:17,027
Speaker 2: how you say it?

2279
01:52:17,707 --> 01:52:20,067
Speaker 24: Well, I think I think so. I mean those games

2280
01:52:20,067 --> 01:52:23,347
Speaker 24: they've got coming up as sort of Newcastle, Brisbane and

2281
01:52:23,467 --> 01:52:26,507
Speaker 24: Central Coast said a little bit two of those away,

2282
01:52:26,907 --> 01:52:29,307
Speaker 24: so they're winnable games, you know, if they can sort

2283
01:52:29,347 --> 01:52:31,547
Speaker 24: of win too and draw on. I think that stem

2284
01:52:31,587 --> 01:52:33,867
Speaker 24: across the line. They've got a couple of talents. We've

2285
01:52:33,867 --> 01:52:38,067
Speaker 24: got Sydney away and Melbourne victory away. I think so, yeah,

2286
01:52:38,107 --> 01:52:40,827
Speaker 24: they're going to afford the loss here and there. I

2287
01:52:40,867 --> 01:52:44,107
Speaker 24: think those three teams, Western, Adelaide and Auckland are just

2288
01:52:44,147 --> 01:52:46,587
Speaker 24: a bit above the rest. I think the winner will

2289
01:52:46,587 --> 01:52:49,107
Speaker 24: come out of those three. And then Western are already

2290
01:52:49,107 --> 01:52:51,627
Speaker 24: shown that they can come to go media Staedum and win.

2291
01:52:51,787 --> 01:52:55,027
Speaker 24: So yeah, they're the three top teams. Sydney Melbourne team

2292
01:52:55,067 --> 01:52:58,747
Speaker 24: is not really firing this time around. And yeah, it's

2293
01:52:58,787 --> 01:53:01,467
Speaker 24: a great thing for New Zealand football. That's it's absolutely

2294
01:53:01,507 --> 01:53:03,827
Speaker 24: truly amazing. And of course next year you've got the

2295
01:53:03,867 --> 01:53:06,387
Speaker 24: girls coming in and you've got to development income and

2296
01:53:06,427 --> 01:53:09,907
Speaker 24: then that's really just going to expand the funds.

2297
01:53:10,947 --> 01:53:12,427
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2298
01:53:12,467 --> 01:53:14,187
Speaker 2: Indeed, Well it wouldn't be a great surprise to see

2299
01:53:14,187 --> 01:53:16,587
Speaker 2: a Grand Final featuring the two teams we saw out

2300
01:53:16,627 --> 01:53:18,347
Speaker 2: there on go media yesterday. And I think you get

2301
01:53:18,347 --> 01:53:21,427
Speaker 2: too many arguments about it if that was a game

2302
01:53:21,467 --> 01:53:23,267
Speaker 2: that we saw a bit later on in the season. Nol,

2303
01:53:23,267 --> 01:53:26,187
Speaker 2: great to get your expertise. Really appreciate you taking the time.

2304
01:53:26,467 --> 01:53:27,467
Speaker 8: How's your penny anytime?

2305
01:53:27,587 --> 01:53:27,787
Speaker 6: Good?

2306
01:53:27,787 --> 01:53:30,867
Speaker 2: Any mate? That's No Barkley, former All White striker and

2307
01:53:31,227 --> 01:53:35,027
Speaker 2: as you can hear from that, pretty astute observer of

2308
01:53:35,227 --> 01:53:37,347
Speaker 2: the game of football. So next up for Auckland FC.

2309
01:53:37,587 --> 01:53:41,107
Speaker 2: They are away next weekend. Next Sunday night they take

2310
01:53:41,147 --> 01:53:43,747
Speaker 2: on the Newcastle Jets and then back home to their

2311
01:53:43,787 --> 01:53:47,307
Speaker 2: fortress of go media Statium. Although it creaked a little

2312
01:53:47,307 --> 01:53:51,267
Speaker 2: bit yesterday, the Central Coast Marin is on Sunday, March

2313
01:53:51,467 --> 01:53:53,947
Speaker 2: the sixteenth. As far as the table is concerned, eight

2314
01:53:53,987 --> 01:53:57,587
Speaker 2: points clear, Auckland f C at the top, Western United

2315
01:53:58,587 --> 01:54:01,787
Speaker 2: in second and Adelaide United in third place. They've both

2316
01:54:01,827 --> 01:54:04,467
Speaker 2: got thirty two points those two teams, so an eight

2317
01:54:04,507 --> 01:54:08,307
Speaker 2: point lead with eight game left to play. As I

2318
01:54:08,347 --> 01:54:10,907
Speaker 2: said to knowl it feels like it is Auckland f

2319
01:54:11,027 --> 01:54:13,587
Speaker 2: C's to lose now the minor premiership anyway, they go

2320
01:54:13,627 --> 01:54:17,467
Speaker 2: into playoffs after that. But yeah, just some signs yesterday

2321
01:54:17,827 --> 01:54:20,787
Speaker 2: of of not being able to hold that lead. Steve

2322
01:54:20,827 --> 01:54:24,427
Speaker 2: Carriker afterwards was most disappointed about that, as he was

2323
01:54:24,507 --> 01:54:27,347
Speaker 2: with the two penalties that were awarded against his side.

2324
01:54:27,347 --> 01:54:29,667
Speaker 2: But it's all part of the roller coaster that is

2325
01:54:29,707 --> 01:54:34,187
Speaker 2: sporting fandom. Warriors fans know all about that. Ten minutes

2326
01:54:34,227 --> 01:54:36,827
Speaker 2: to go in Vegas and Canberra lead the Warriors by

2327
01:54:36,867 --> 01:54:41,547
Speaker 2: twenty eight points to four. So defeat being stared in

2328
01:54:41,547 --> 01:54:44,467
Speaker 2: the face by the Warriors in Vegas and I can

2329
01:54:44,507 --> 01:54:47,027
Speaker 2: TALLI Auckland have on the last ball of the fiftieth

2330
01:54:47,027 --> 01:54:50,587
Speaker 2: over been dismissed for two hundred and fifty against Canterbury,

2331
01:54:50,627 --> 01:54:53,307
Speaker 2: which when you're fifty seven for five isn't actually about outcome.

2332
01:54:53,987 --> 01:54:57,627
Speaker 2: So shortly Canterbury will come out and pursue two hundred

2333
01:54:57,627 --> 01:55:00,027
Speaker 2: and fifty one if they are to win the Ford

2334
01:55:00,027 --> 01:55:03,107
Speaker 2: Trophy for the summer of twenty twenty four twenty five.

2335
01:55:04,387 --> 01:55:06,027
Speaker 2: On the other side of this break, we're back to

2336
01:55:06,107 --> 01:55:09,067
Speaker 2: mil Brook, where the fourth and final round of the

2337
01:55:09,107 --> 01:55:12,547
Speaker 2: New Zealand Golf Open is currently in progress. Andrew Ordison

2338
01:55:12,627 --> 01:55:16,547
Speaker 2: with his final report of our show Anyway this afternoon

2339
01:55:16,587 --> 01:55:17,107
Speaker 2: when we come.

2340
01:55:17,027 --> 01:55:22,347
Speaker 1: Back, don't get caught offside eighty Weekend Sports with Jason

2341
01:55:22,387 --> 01:55:26,507
Speaker 1: Paine and GJ Guvnerhomes New Zealand's most trusted home builder

2342
01:55:26,587 --> 01:55:27,427
Speaker 1: News Talks.

2343
01:55:27,267 --> 01:55:29,947
Speaker 2: NB sixteen away from three on News Talks there by

2344
01:55:30,027 --> 01:55:31,747
Speaker 2: Roger two of us A checks scored a try for

2345
01:55:31,787 --> 01:55:34,307
Speaker 2: the Warriors very much consolation, but he's shown his strength

2346
01:55:34,347 --> 01:55:36,147
Speaker 2: in his new position on the left wing to crash

2347
01:55:36,187 --> 01:55:39,067
Speaker 2: over in the corner twenty eight points to eight unconverted.

2348
01:55:39,467 --> 01:55:41,987
Speaker 2: Seven and a half minutes to go Canberra twenty eight

2349
01:55:42,347 --> 01:55:46,747
Speaker 2: the New Zealand Warriors eight at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.

2350
01:55:47,027 --> 01:55:48,947
Speaker 2: Let's get you back to the New Zealand Golf Open

2351
01:55:48,987 --> 01:55:53,667
Speaker 2: at Millbrook where it's the final round of the tournament.

2352
01:55:53,827 --> 01:55:56,267
Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison as our man at Milbrook. We've been chatting

2353
01:55:56,507 --> 01:56:00,747
Speaker 2: across the weekend. Goodententuck co the leader for most of

2354
01:56:00,827 --> 01:56:04,707
Speaker 2: the second half of the tournament. He came into the

2355
01:56:04,707 --> 01:56:08,467
Speaker 2: fourth round with a four shot. You'd have those nipping

2356
01:56:08,547 --> 01:56:12,707
Speaker 2: at his heels Alders eaten into that lead at all.

2357
01:56:12,907 --> 01:56:15,027
Speaker 20: They haven't the pinally since we last spoke, and I

2358
01:56:15,027 --> 01:56:19,147
Speaker 20: think it's basically they've bridged the gap to two. I

2359
01:56:19,147 --> 01:56:21,547
Speaker 20: think when we last week he was perhaps up by three,

2360
01:56:22,307 --> 01:56:24,947
Speaker 20: he was twenty three under. Overall he has dropped a shown.

2361
01:56:25,027 --> 01:56:29,947
Speaker 20: He's even part for the day is Guntuck Co so

2362
01:56:29,987 --> 01:56:33,307
Speaker 20: he's twenty two under at the moment. They're through six holes,

2363
01:56:33,307 --> 01:56:35,747
Speaker 20: so he's just boggy that the six to part four.

2364
01:56:36,587 --> 01:56:39,187
Speaker 20: He's playing part of the Ryan Peak of course, the

2365
01:56:39,227 --> 01:56:42,787
Speaker 20: former Viky gang member, and he did a sort of

2366
01:56:42,827 --> 01:56:45,907
Speaker 20: porridge in Australia, but he's been playing for the last

2367
01:56:45,947 --> 01:56:47,187
Speaker 20: few years again now.

2368
01:56:47,427 --> 01:56:48,107
Speaker 7: He's going great.

2369
01:56:48,107 --> 01:56:48,387
Speaker 8: Guys.

2370
01:56:48,387 --> 01:56:51,067
Speaker 20: He's gone to twenty under, so he's a couple Underfore

2371
01:56:51,067 --> 01:56:52,107
Speaker 20: the day started.

2372
01:56:53,307 --> 01:56:54,307
Speaker 7: Eighteen under the card.

2373
01:56:54,907 --> 01:56:57,147
Speaker 20: But the other one to watch is the Chinese goal

2374
01:56:57,227 --> 01:57:01,347
Speaker 20: for Bobby Bay who has also moved to twenty under,

2375
01:57:01,387 --> 01:57:03,147
Speaker 20: and just a reflection on where the New Zealanders a

2376
01:57:03,187 --> 01:57:05,747
Speaker 20: rat at the moment. Sam Jones even part for the day,

2377
01:57:05,827 --> 01:57:08,987
Speaker 20: so he's on fifteen under the time being, so it

2378
01:57:09,067 --> 01:57:13,067
Speaker 20: still seven shots off that lead. Daniel Herleyer and Michael

2379
01:57:13,067 --> 01:57:14,987
Speaker 20: Henry one stroke further back.

2380
01:57:15,147 --> 01:57:17,587
Speaker 2: It seems so odd to get the wobbles when you've

2381
01:57:17,667 --> 01:57:20,067
Speaker 2: shot a sixty four or sixty one and a sixty six.

2382
01:57:20,107 --> 01:57:22,227
Speaker 2: I look, he's even par through six holes a least

2383
01:57:22,227 --> 01:57:24,387
Speaker 2: not I A get two carried away. But is this

2384
01:57:24,747 --> 01:57:28,107
Speaker 2: I don't know, final round nerves? What do you can

2385
01:57:28,187 --> 01:57:30,547
Speaker 2: you can you get any sort of gauge from Guntac

2386
01:57:30,587 --> 01:57:33,027
Speaker 2: Carlors to as there was ability to actually hold his

2387
01:57:33,147 --> 01:57:36,027
Speaker 2: nerve and hold even if it is a slender lead.

2388
01:57:37,107 --> 01:57:38,867
Speaker 20: Yeah, I don't think as much in it, to be honest.

2389
01:57:38,907 --> 01:57:41,787
Speaker 20: I've seen a few of the parts that he's being making.

2390
01:57:41,827 --> 01:57:46,187
Speaker 20: They probably just haven't sunk like in previous days. But yeah,

2391
01:57:46,307 --> 01:57:49,107
Speaker 20: just narrowly missing the cups. So I don't think he's

2392
01:57:49,107 --> 01:57:52,067
Speaker 20: necessarily out of touch just yet. So I would still

2393
01:57:52,107 --> 01:57:55,427
Speaker 20: be thinking that he is the favorite here, albeit twelve

2394
01:57:55,427 --> 01:57:59,387
Speaker 20: holes to go. A lot can happen in that time frame,

2395
01:58:00,027 --> 01:58:02,067
Speaker 20: you know, think of back down through the years, the

2396
01:58:02,107 --> 01:58:05,907
Speaker 20: Greg Normans and John Vandervelds of this world. You can

2397
01:58:05,987 --> 01:58:09,427
Speaker 20: quickly lose their advantage with just one false move. So

2398
01:58:09,547 --> 01:58:13,027
Speaker 20: we'll see how that unfolds over the course of the afternoon.

2399
01:58:13,067 --> 01:58:15,187
Speaker 20: But I just think there's a fever of hunger there

2400
01:58:15,227 --> 01:58:18,747
Speaker 20: from peak he looks quite the contender for my mind,

2401
01:58:18,827 --> 01:58:24,187
Speaker 20: nothing to lose, and once he I guess unfools his

2402
01:58:24,307 --> 01:58:26,027
Speaker 20: tee shutch is a big hit of piney and if

2403
01:58:26,027 --> 01:58:29,147
Speaker 20: he can keep that accurate. So he's struggling yesterday, I

2404
01:58:29,187 --> 01:58:31,427
Speaker 20: mean he's still got seven under part and he only

2405
01:58:31,507 --> 01:58:34,387
Speaker 20: hit three of the fourteen fairways. So if he's able

2406
01:58:34,427 --> 01:58:37,827
Speaker 20: to rectify that and get some accuracy, he could really

2407
01:58:37,867 --> 01:58:41,947
Speaker 20: be contended here as could buy. And we will once

2408
01:58:42,027 --> 01:58:44,227
Speaker 20: see how both of those are unfolded as the key

2409
01:58:44,227 --> 01:58:45,187
Speaker 20: contenders at the moment.

2410
01:58:45,507 --> 01:58:47,307
Speaker 2: It's quite the story, isn't it quite? The REGs to

2411
01:58:47,427 --> 01:58:49,707
Speaker 2: riches as you say, from a biky gang member who

2412
01:58:49,787 --> 01:58:53,947
Speaker 2: spent some time away from home, shall we say to

2413
01:58:54,747 --> 01:58:56,307
Speaker 2: know to be able to play golf like this?

2414
01:58:57,507 --> 01:59:03,267
Speaker 20: Absolutely, and it wasn't their majesty's. We don't go too

2415
01:59:03,347 --> 01:59:05,867
Speaker 20: far down there road. But I think it's a fascinating angle,

2416
01:59:05,907 --> 01:59:08,467
Speaker 20: isn't it. Any seems to have I guess made a

2417
01:59:08,507 --> 01:59:10,907
Speaker 20: bit of a change. I think this coach by Richie

2418
01:59:10,907 --> 01:59:13,347
Speaker 20: Smith has got an excellent reputation in Australia when he

2419
01:59:13,387 --> 01:59:16,227
Speaker 20: came out of prison and his Churger's life around. I

2420
01:59:16,307 --> 01:59:18,987
Speaker 20: think the Zoo credit for that, give him a second chance, etc.

2421
01:59:19,947 --> 01:59:22,147
Speaker 20: He really has made the most of it and looks

2422
01:59:22,387 --> 01:59:27,387
Speaker 20: and terrific form with the golf club and yeah he's yeah,

2423
01:59:27,507 --> 01:59:30,187
Speaker 20: just made the most of that second opportunity and could

2424
01:59:30,227 --> 01:59:32,947
Speaker 20: well take it to a tournament Wednesday. And I don't mean,

2425
01:59:32,987 --> 01:59:37,547
Speaker 20: I don't want to be to speculate too much, but

2426
01:59:38,627 --> 01:59:41,627
Speaker 20: his problem isn't because he only got here within thirty

2427
01:59:41,667 --> 01:59:43,947
Speaker 20: six hours of the tournament because of visa issues that

2428
01:59:44,027 --> 01:59:47,787
Speaker 20: you have if you've been in jail, and with how

2429
01:59:47,787 --> 01:59:51,227
Speaker 20: that might boat for future appearances on various tours and

2430
01:59:51,427 --> 01:59:53,667
Speaker 20: qualifies the Asian Tour today and all those sorts of

2431
01:59:53,667 --> 01:59:56,267
Speaker 20: things that could add complications. But I think in his

2432
01:59:56,387 --> 01:59:58,627
Speaker 20: case it's a living for the now and if he's

2433
01:59:58,667 --> 02:00:01,187
Speaker 20: able to win a tournament, he good luck to.

2434
02:00:01,227 --> 02:00:02,867
Speaker 2: Him, absolutely right. So we're not going to have a

2435
02:00:02,947 --> 02:00:04,227
Speaker 2: keep we win, or are we? I mean that looks

2436
02:00:04,267 --> 02:00:07,267
Speaker 2: out of reach now for Sam John, for Daniel Hilly,

2437
02:00:07,347 --> 02:00:09,387
Speaker 2: for Michael Henry and the other. So the weight goes

2438
02:00:09,427 --> 02:00:11,947
Speaker 2: on for another year for a New Zealand winner of

2439
02:00:11,987 --> 02:00:13,827
Speaker 2: the New Zealand Open. By the looks of it, orders

2440
02:00:14,907 --> 02:00:15,267
Speaker 2: it does.

2441
02:00:15,347 --> 02:00:18,147
Speaker 20: Piney I mean the last time of twenty seventeen Michael Hendry,

2442
02:00:18,947 --> 02:00:21,867
Speaker 20: and it looks like pushing out to will to nine.

2443
02:00:21,747 --> 02:00:22,627
Speaker 8: Years at least.

2444
02:00:23,227 --> 02:00:24,627
Speaker 20: And if you're thinking about it too, I think the

2445
02:00:24,667 --> 02:00:27,427
Speaker 20: one before Henry was two thousand and three mahal Peers.

2446
02:00:28,467 --> 02:00:30,747
Speaker 20: So it does stretch back. If their way, they've been

2447
02:00:30,787 --> 02:00:34,827
Speaker 20: few and far between at the local tournament, and yes,

2448
02:00:35,067 --> 02:00:36,787
Speaker 20: there's going to be that way again this year by the.

2449
02:00:36,707 --> 02:00:37,227
Speaker 7: Looks of things.

2450
02:00:37,267 --> 02:00:39,747
Speaker 20: That don't know unless well, I guess Joe and Tilly

2451
02:00:39,907 --> 02:00:41,907
Speaker 20: or Hendred the prospects and I want to be able

2452
02:00:41,907 --> 02:00:43,467
Speaker 20: to turn that around. But they need to do something

2453
02:00:43,907 --> 02:00:46,187
Speaker 20: pretty so soon, and it need to do something pretty special.

2454
02:00:46,307 --> 02:00:48,787
Speaker 2: All right, look forward to seeing how it all plays

2455
02:00:48,787 --> 02:00:50,427
Speaker 2: out over the next two or three hours. Thanks for

2456
02:00:50,987 --> 02:00:53,627
Speaker 2: all your reports and your color over the last couple

2457
02:00:53,667 --> 02:00:56,427
Speaker 2: of days on weekend sport orders. Enjoy the home stretch.

2458
02:00:57,507 --> 02:00:59,507
Speaker 7: We'll do it finey, we'll do looking forward to it.

2459
02:00:59,827 --> 02:01:03,147
Speaker 2: Andrew Ortison in Milbrook or at Milbrook at the New

2460
02:01:03,227 --> 02:01:07,267
Speaker 2: Zealand Open. So just to recap, Guntaco is twenty two

2461
02:01:07,347 --> 02:01:09,907
Speaker 2: under for the tournament. He has even pased through six

2462
02:01:09,947 --> 02:01:13,387
Speaker 2: holes today a two shot lead. Now from his playing

2463
02:01:13,427 --> 02:01:16,947
Speaker 2: partner Ryan Peak, who is twenty under the card, and

2464
02:01:16,987 --> 02:01:20,907
Speaker 2: the Chinese player Bobby Bye also twenty under and an

2465
02:01:20,947 --> 02:01:25,147
Speaker 2: outright fourth position. Kazuki Heger he's two under today through

2466
02:01:25,187 --> 02:01:27,747
Speaker 2: six holes, nineteen under. So also, I guess you'd say

2467
02:01:28,187 --> 02:01:31,867
Speaker 2: within striking distance. In fact, I suppose you have to

2468
02:01:31,867 --> 02:01:34,027
Speaker 2: go down to the likes of Ian Snaman who is

2469
02:01:34,067 --> 02:01:36,667
Speaker 2: eighteen under, and even the players who are seventeen under

2470
02:01:36,707 --> 02:01:38,827
Speaker 2: the card, although they are getting a bit later in

2471
02:01:38,867 --> 02:01:42,587
Speaker 2: their rounds. But yeah, the leading key We Sam Jones

2472
02:01:42,867 --> 02:01:45,587
Speaker 2: at the moment just seems a bit too far back.

2473
02:01:46,027 --> 02:01:49,827
Speaker 2: Fifteen under the card, so what's that He's seven shots

2474
02:01:49,827 --> 02:01:53,907
Speaker 2: off the pace and Sam Jones is through seven holes today,

2475
02:01:53,947 --> 02:01:57,707
Speaker 2: so it would take something pretty special in the final

2476
02:01:57,707 --> 02:01:59,827
Speaker 2: eleven holes of his round for him, So it pretty

2477
02:01:59,867 --> 02:02:02,747
Speaker 2: much have to burd most of the holes, wouldnety. Daniel

2478
02:02:02,827 --> 02:02:06,067
Speaker 2: Hilly has also stayed in touch of the sort of

2479
02:02:06,067 --> 02:02:08,027
Speaker 2: the the upper echelons of the leader board. He's two

2480
02:02:08,107 --> 02:02:10,827
Speaker 2: under three to eleven holes today, fourteen under for the tournament.

2481
02:02:10,867 --> 02:02:12,707
Speaker 2: And Michael Henry, who was the last key We winner

2482
02:02:12,867 --> 02:02:15,387
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, also at fourteen under. He said a

2483
02:02:15,387 --> 02:02:19,147
Speaker 2: good fourth round actually Michael Henry four under through sixteen

2484
02:02:19,187 --> 02:02:22,267
Speaker 2: holes in his final round. Camberrall led the Warriors by

2485
02:02:22,307 --> 02:02:24,587
Speaker 2: thirty points to eight with only a couple of minutes

2486
02:02:24,627 --> 02:02:27,387
Speaker 2: to go in Las Vegas, so a comprehensive win for

2487
02:02:27,427 --> 02:02:29,987
Speaker 2: the Raiders first up and a defeat for the Warriors

2488
02:02:30,387 --> 02:02:34,027
Speaker 2: in Vegas. And repeating that Auckland have posted two hundred

2489
02:02:34,027 --> 02:02:37,467
Speaker 2: and fifty in their fifty overs in the Ford Trophy

2490
02:02:37,507 --> 02:02:40,427
Speaker 2: Final against Canterbury, the Red and Blacks will need two

2491
02:02:40,467 --> 02:02:42,507
Speaker 2: fifty one to win when they come out to bat

2492
02:02:42,547 --> 02:02:45,067
Speaker 2: in their fifty overs shortly eight and a half to three.

2499

Speaker 2: points to eight over the New Zealand Warriors in the

2500
02:03:02,747 --> 02:03:05,947
Speaker 2: NRL season openers, so certainly not the trip to Vegas

2501
02:03:05,947 --> 02:03:08,867
Speaker 2: that the war Warriors would have hoped for. A happy

2502
02:03:09,027 --> 02:03:12,707
