Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Flavor Podcast Network, The Flavor Breakfast Podcast with stace A,
Zorah and Charlotte. Yes, we're catching up with Delan. What
is a lesson? One Zealand Warriors play.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Hey morning, how are you?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
We're good, but we believe you've been busy. There's been
a bit day in your house.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
And my youngest she's three.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Oh beautiful, that's a beautiful age, brother, Doc. Last year
we were over at Sylvia Park and you, your wife
and the kids were in the I think it was
like a bed and bath area. You guys were like
buying some French and stuff, and my kids were like
Sylvia Parks, Sylvia Parking, because yeah, I love that shop.

(00:41):
And then and then you heard the kids say your
name and hey, what's up? Boys? And the little and
my little boys, they all got their thrills. Bro, and
I had to come over to you and I'm sorry
to bother you, brother, but can we take a photo
of the kids and you, Camember, Bro, you're humble airs
holding your kids and your wife.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I remember that they were going to a function movies.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
The ladies to the ladies. He wouldn't remember that. And
he takes photos of a million people out of.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
The remember that man, say, see he's real, he's real,
and we need some real support. Bring out the fans
for Friday versus the Tigers.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Right, Yes, yes we do, we do. It's going to
be a big game birth. Our season is in our hands,
so the more support we can get for better.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah. So when you say that your season is in
your hands, so is that what you're focusing on, Like,
get the job done, get yourselves on the top eight.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's been our job. Well, you always want
to win the company top four to go and we
just want to play finals, and I think every team
wants that. But it's just been there. Yeah, it's been
tough because we know where we can do it. It's
just we have a few close games that probably haven't

(01:54):
sealed and played the way we wanted to play.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, it is those little tiny things.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Isn't it all coming together?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
And I mean you're the only NRL team that sold
out all the home matches. Can that be the differences
of those little things that need to come together? Can
it be a home crowd?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I understand home crowd helps so much. It gives you energy,
takes the energy away from the other team as well.
It's pressure, and then it's yeah, you know your fans
and your your home. Playing at home is a big advantage.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Well, I know, just the one thing, if I know,
I mean that's scary, just kind of themselves doing.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know what I mean, take out the each stand
on their own.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
So yeah, has the preparation been leading up to this game.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's been. We've had our session on Monday, which is
fundamental session. But we've got our big session today, so
skiing report at the moment, and there's when we took
off our big boxes and how we want to play
and how we want to get things done. So looking
forward today, getting stuck into it and keep prepared for
the weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
That's right. So I like hearing that chain your boys
you go right, you know, the kids birthdays done. I've
got big boxes to check right now. And so here
we go. We're leading up and we know you're going
to do great. So thank you so much for making
