1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: You're back back. You've been on the road for a month.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 3: Yes, it feels like I've been about six months since

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 3: I've been back in person.

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, good to be back.

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 4: You look different so long Yeah, jud's gotten longer, absolutely, Yeah.

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 5: So nice to sleep in your own bed all that

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 5: sort of stuff. Yep, definitely definitely Yeah, underrated.

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: How has the month been for you, mate, I.

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: Guess it's been It's been good. It's been long.

11
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 3: Obviously, results wise, we've been close, but I guess close

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: enough is not good enough. It's been disappointing. But yeah,

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 3: I guess three weeks. Three weeks with the boys, it's

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 3: a long time, so you get to know each other.

15
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: Quite a bonding going on, a lot of bonding, a

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: lot of cards. Yeah, but by the end of it

17
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: you're pretty keen to get away.

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 5: There is a lot of bonding when you're away for

19
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 5: that amount of time. Any player pranks.

20
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: Not too just not too much.

21
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: Actually probably myself actually been an early riser. I figured

22
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: out that no one's a morning person, so okay, energy

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: I was bringing one was really liking it the first morning,

24
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: so I figured out breakfast radio.

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 5: They said close but not close enough. The team seemed

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 5: well in the game against the war Tars on the weekend,

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 5: but there were a couple of areas that cost the win.

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 5: It must be frustrating when you feel like you're doing well,

29
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 5: you're doing everything that's required to close the game off,

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 5: and it's just not being reflected on the scoreboard.

31
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: I think frustrated's probably the word we've used a fair

33
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: bit over the last couple of weeks.

34
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: You know, we're we're in games and then we're out

35
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: of game.

36
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: So a big focus for us is just playing eighty

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: minutes of football every week, and it was disappointing on

38
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: the weekend.

39
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: We you know, we're in patches.

40
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: As you said, we had the chance to be close

41
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: and then obviously got away from us in the second half.

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: So I guess talking about it all weeks getting a

43
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: bit boring. So we've actually big focus to stop talking

44
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: about it and let's actually start doing it and put

45
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: in the performance that we can be proud of and

46
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: our fans can be proud of.

47
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: Action speak louder than words. What about the fact that

48
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: you get the four games of the final seven at home?

49
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 4: That must be nice, Peel.

50
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome. Well, we're undefeated at home at the moment,

51
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: so take the positive.

52
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: So now I'm pretty excited to get back out there

53
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: against the Highlanders this weekend and then yeah, the last

54
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: four will be good for us and the fans.

55
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 5: I always think of Christopher Lambe when he Highlanders and

56
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 5: that old movie Big Jestinney your place seventh, they're seventh place.

57
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 5: You're hopeful that Captain Michael Wells will be fit to

58
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 5: return from an achilles problem against the Highlanders.

59
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely missing his leadership and you know what you

60
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: get from him. So I think we'll find out tomorrow

61
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: if he's good to go, and they'll be a huge

62
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: inclusion for us.

63
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why, Skipper, But he's pretty inspirational.

64
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 5: They still lead from the side, do you know, pretty

65
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 5: much even if he's not out there.

66
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: Definitely, But because we've been away so we haven't he

67
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: hasn't been around the last yeah two weeks. So but

68
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: when we're at home, obviously in training and in the games,

69
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: you do have everyone back together.

70
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a plus.

71
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 4: I always a little bit about you for people who

72
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 4: don't know you that well. Firstly, did I see your

73
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: face smiling? Get me on a bus on Charles Street

00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 4: last week with it a be.

75
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: I hope you will smile.

76
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: I think it was in my Perth bayswater kit promoting

77
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: a bit of junior rugby around w Yeah.

78
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: You ever see that and go oh that's weird.

79
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: That's my Yeah, definitely is a bit weird. It's a bit.

80
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: Large, nothing wrong with it, It's good. And what about

81
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: the degree you've been doing? What's going on there?

82
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: Ah?

83
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, just doing a teaching degree.

84
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: Obviously, would love to be a PE teacher after my

85
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: rugby career, so something I've sort of got into over

86
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. And I guess coaching also

87
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: something I like to do in a school, but I

88
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: haven't started the coaching part, but so yeah, just doing

89
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: a PE degree at the moment.

90
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Teaching Now.

91
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 5: There are lots of Kiwi teams of venturing over to

92
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 5: Perth for the coming round, so the Force has offered

93
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 5: a Kiwi Bundle membership, perfect for those supporters who love

94
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 5: the Force in their native country of New Zealand, because

95
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 5: we've got a lot of Kiwei's here and I feel

96
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 5: like Australia versus New Zealand is the rugby sort of

97
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 5: thing isn't it.

98
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the There is a lot of Kewis over here,

99
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: so hopefully they're wearing our jersey rather yeah, yeah, the

100
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: other side, but no, definitely it's a good bundle to

101
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: get for the next Highlanders chiefs.

102
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: And it's a third one.

103
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: You have a better idea than us. You're playing it.

104
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: The other.

Speaker 2: He was coming up.

106
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: When you get the Wallabies playing the All Blacks, I

107
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: come out of the woodworker half of the North and

108
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: South Island just rock up.

109
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,880

00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: test yourself against the best, that's who you want to play.

114
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: And that's where the standards been for the last forever

115
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: how long.

116
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 4: But they'll get their drinks out of the chili bans
