Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sport with tab multis fast DC and more coats eighteen
bit responsible, gussy water grave sports, stalok hoosters with me Hello?

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Does is there cheese in this accord? Will count me in?

Speaker 1 (00:11):
I don't get it? Why why is the cheese in
the accord?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Just send me anything in Paris? It doesn't have cheese,
and I want anything to do with from Rush.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
That was the only word I learned when I was over.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Which is like when you talk about a big important
person there legrand fromage, big che big cheese.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
So we have another half back down? Do we shouldn't laugh?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
So what We've got this great, big muscular shoulder, this
incredible big bicep, and that's our pack. And then we've
got these amazing strong but dainty fingers and forearm, and
that is our back line. Someone's stolen our elbow. I
don't know what we're going to do. What pick up
the arm and slap somebody with it. Acc have just

(00:55):
put up a Instagram post of petty wearepoo standing in
a river white Bay, referencing, of course Donald for back
in the day, there might be a bit of doing
and throwing and ressie arrastmus is not beyond playing a
few games. Maybe Scott Robertson. I'm not sure if the
injury is depressed in that bed, or if it's a

(01:18):
cut or it's a tweak, or we don't want.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
To say, Oh, Kyle Preston hurt his right ankle while training.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, but then someone said, oh, it might be a cut,
so maybe it's a cut if they've sliced his tendons
in all sorts of trouble.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Kyle down, We've got can Roy guards down, We've got
Noah Hope them down. Courtsy's utimate is down, but courtis
utimate is training. So it's a possibility he actually does play.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah. Possibly, Yeah, it could do. And they might roll
him out at the last minute because you really need
an elbow, you really do. And Philly Christie's going, hold on,
I'm all right, I'm not I'm not chopped liver. There's
a chance for him to be an absolute hero. But
this narrative ahead of this Test match is fascinating because
it's the biggest test match. I read something today, possibly

(02:01):
the biggest test mansion of there. This is the biggest
test match in New Zealand's is the twenty eleven final
is immense it's one v two. It's the old crew
coming through to try to stop.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I'm not going, no, I'm going.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
I couldn't get tickets because they cost too much and
I've got no money because I worked for ZB. But
I watched on the TV and I quite pleased about that,
the reason being I don't want to be anywhere near
Eden Park if they all Blacks get beaten. Remember the
tension around the World Cup Final in twenty eleven. There
was not a happy person there. It was awful, and
when the whistle blew it was relief. It was like,

(02:38):
I've just seeing an amazing game of rugby. It's that's
what it's going to be.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Like, that's enough. That's enough. You don't need to hype
us up to this extent. Gees, we're already worried. Okay,
just quickly thoughts on Reese.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Walsh reswsh drinking of his toilet bowl. It's just another
and the long line of magnificent extracurricular activities maintained by
the NRL from in particular, Well, he's managed quite a few.
He's I think he's on about five on the bounds
now done.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
This is the drinking the toilet and last time he
was he was punching his mate in the face.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
So yeah, I remember he got arrested for cocaine up
on the Gold Coast and there was another small issue
as well. There's a list of them, but it's it's
rugby league, right. Remember Joel Monaghan and his caneine story.
What about the bubbler and how that was my favor
Todd Cantey, that was something else. What about a group

(03:30):
of nur old players going not really down to a lockdown,
you know what, it's going to have a hodown and
they went and met out in the country somewhere. They
just keep bringing it, they keep giving.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Definitely not the clever boy sport is it.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Some of them? But I think it's the it's the
ones that make the biggest splash people.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Remember, thank you. We'll come back to this because you're
gonna have to hear this. I'll play it for your
Darcy water Grave Sports Talk Coast. Be back at seven
