D'Arcy Waldegrave: Sportstalk host on the Warriors unveiling their newest squad

The Warriors are set to unveil their latest squad ahead of their weekend clash against the Tigers.

There's speculation that key players like Shaun Johnson could return from injuries - but enthusiasm among fans is dwindling. 

Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave says it's lucky the Olympics may distract viewers from a disappointing season.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darcy Waldgrave sports talk hosters with me. Now, Hey Darce,
Hello Heather, welcome back, Thank you very much. So the
Warrior squad is going to be announced.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Who cares that?

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Out of the top eight, I don't care anymore.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, yeah, well the run's not great, has it. They've
got West Tigers coming up this weekend on Friday night.
That's thirteen. The Eels are sixteen, so it might be
two ones alough have been terrible against teams outside of
the eighth this year. Then their home run is the
Dolphins seven, Seagles, five, Dogs, six, Sharks three and then
a bye. Yeah, we'll get the points from the bar,

(00:30):
that teetering zone between must win and mathematical chants. And
I spoke of this last week. There's a chance Sawn
Johnson might be back when that team comes out. There
is a chance that Zion might be back. However, Uppy
Corosal might be back for the Tigers. I'm done. Wats
the least nat with a head? Notck may or may

(00:52):
not not sure, but I think the best thing from
the Warrior's point of view is the Olympics starting a
couple of days. Servant's going to go look over there, Wow,
go man so lucky it was. It was a gob
smacking loss over the weekend. I mean, you lose two
of you guys that both kick and suddenly you're down
to your third, fourth choice kicker and it's done. Four

(01:16):
tries place three superior try, but just just get it done.
And I suppose I've seen this before and I'll say
it again. It's the comforting hug of the old Warriors team,
isn't it thirty years?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
I don't care about them anymore. I don't care about
not for the rest of the season like I care.
I'll care about them next season again when there's a chance.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I like it you very much. Owning the fact that
you are a fair weather friend and you're straight off
the band wagon, does it starts to slow down?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Have we talked about how great you're a rugby union
is now? And listen Perrell explained this to me. What's
going on?

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh, well, Marian Dolonie Hoshik, the coach of the tactics,
in one of the huddles at the side after well,
they're getting absolutely thrashed by the pulse called their defense
feral and some people have taken offense take an umbrage
with that. Too well. I don't know. I suppose feral.
If you said someone dresses fairly, you go, is she talking.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
About her own team's defense.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
She's talking about their defense and the opposition. And this
is the pulse. And of course they played very well
on the pulse. Blew them off in the first quarter.
They blew them off the court. They didn't really have
a chance of coming back. And who's taken well, I
suppose it's it's not. I think it was. They thought
it was referencing the players themselves, not their defense.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
But who's taken offense?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I don't know. It's a good point. I've just read
about offense, and I'm like, well, because I can't work
out why you would if someone called me fair, I'll
be fine because it screams west Auckland to me. Yeah,
I mean I got to sing that in a horrible haircut.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Sometimes you need to be.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
If someone maybe described my partner as feral, I might
be a bit upset the style of film, style of
defense as being feral. It's not a bad thing, is
I don't think. And again I just read the offense this.
I don't know actually who took offense? But it's not
a defensive style. Farah is a good thing, isn't it.

(03:08):
When you're in trouble, you're like, yeah, I'm going to
get down to the course.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
If you're out there playing your game and you're not feral,
get off.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
It's not punched anyone. And if you don't like comments
and just don't get in the huddle. And there's another
F word besides feral that upsets more people. We see
it in basketball predominantly, don't we that's fair and terrible
dad joke. I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
I don't get I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I don't want to replace, don't even want to come.
I get it.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
