We don't has Charlie missed Shu. Yeah, yeah, I'd love
to know, Madata. I mean, we want to get onto
the important news about you. But what did Charlie say
his news was? How did he describe why he's not
available to talk to you? We don't need to get
onto the really important news. Congratulations Madada, because you were

named yesterday in the New Zealand KIWI twenty one man's
squad for the Pacific CHAMPIONSHIPICE.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Thank you, Thank you too.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Wow, that's amazing. So, I mean, I know it's not
your first time, but is it nerve wrecking? You know
when they're naming day turns around, you know, it turns up.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, you want to put her stuff out there. You
know you always want to try and wait for those courts.
And luckily for myself, you know, I happen to get
that court and yeah, I think anytime you get to
put on that black jerse, you know, you always want
to put your hand up and you know, make yourself available.
So yeah, obviously little wrecking, but you know, also exciting
at the same time, kind of just excited to get

(01:18):
them to camp next week and just kind of be
around the players again.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well it has had you know, when when your club
isn't playing finals and you've got a lot of debutants
and people who have been playing literally in the Grand Final.
So has that been helpful for you personally in terms
of you know, being fit and having a bit of
time for your body or would you rather I mean,
I guess you'd rather have been playing.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I think anytime you get to you know, what's fine's
for you. I was give you that sentile, you know,
wanting to play again. But I'm you know, full credit
to those teams for you know, doing somewhere else to
see kind of yeah, just a life of fish and
that to go from, you know, obviously the Grand Final
and then obviously having to back up for Keeps and

(02:02):
Top obviously a tough slog, but that's a credit to
their character and how much the Jersey.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Where were you when you were watching the game?

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh that said some of the boys trying to get
to the publem or that obviously didn't mind that I
be going to Cancer to put up Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, yeah, hey, you already making those good choices for
the team we love. Yeah nice yeah yeah.

Also for the Pacific Championship. I see your first games
versus Ozzie and christ Church on the twenty seventh of October.
You said you're going into camp next week. Is that
in christ Church?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, so will fly straight down to cross Church and
then we'll all meet down there. And yeah, I said,
well into campaign and pretty much almost seven day preparation
into their game, so yeah, crush hutches will be raised
the pretty much.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
It seems like a lot of time for you guys
to actually be together because it's probably a few few
boys you've never you know, been on the same team.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
As Yeah, and that's the thing for these camps, and
that's kind of our first day of school kind of. Yeah,
that's good. And you for all these relationships, and you know,
some of these relationship relationships turn until last past time memories,
I guess, so before these camps, you know, they're kind
of important, but you know, we've also got a job
to focus on at the same time.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, and you're always representing Mango East Hawks as well.
So congratulations because now they can go. Oh yeah, Kiwi
another Kimi jerzy.

time a bout that.
