Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jason Pine Weekend Sports hosters with me right now.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey, Pony, hey Heather, you just got me having my macona?

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Are you having a macona?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yep? I pretty much drink instant coffee almost exclusively. I
like to buy one when amount about, but instant for me, mate, macona?

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yes, because you're from Pari, Vegas, aren't you.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I'm not sure what you're implying.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Will you keep it real?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
And don't you? Oh? I see what you've mean? Yes week?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
So were you in Tawa Heights now I can't remember? No, no, no, absolutely,
I mean, but you go into Wellington like this is
like sacrela jay. You can't talk about it. Like when
you walk out of the studio, your colleagues are just
not going to talk to you for the rest.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
We'll turn their backs. They will turn their backs.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Pony, listen, what do you reckon? The worries you reckon?
They can keep this run going against the Dolphins.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I think so. Yeah, four in a row. I think
that becomes five tomorrow at sun Corpse Stadium. They were
there a couple of weeks ago from Magic Round, of course,
and beat the Cowboys narrowly. They had a narrower win
against the Dragons last time. I think we spoke about
this on Monday. They're just finding a way to win
the type ones where last year they more often than
not didn't win the tight ones. The Dolphins are going
through a little bit of a resurgence. They know that

(01:05):
if they win this game, they could finish the weekend
in the top eight. But yeah, I just like the
way the Warriors are going about things at the moment.
If they win tomorrow five in a row, they set
up a massive game next weekend at go Media when
they welcome the Raiders back and try and get a
bit of revenge for what happened in Round one Vegas
at Pony.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
How good are the Melbourne Victory.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
They're a good team. They're a good team, yeah, they
and what they have crucially is finals pedigree. They finished
fifth in the league, which you think, Okay, fifth aukle
Defci were top. What's the problem here? But Melbourne Victory
know how to win finals matches. The two legged thing
is really fascinating to me. Hither. I know you're speaking
to Steve Carriker a bit later on. He probably won't
say it, but I reckon if you said to him,

(01:45):
Steve you'll draw tomorrow night and come back with the
tie level back to the home leg. I think he
would take it. He won't say that he'll take it,
but I think he would take a draw away, bring
the game back home next Saturday evening, win there, and
go through to the grand what's a good team?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Does that change? I mean, wanting to go for a draw,
like a draw being so much better in this particular
set of circumstances than a loss. Does it change the
way that they play?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I see? And that's the other thing about that. The
variable and this is that Steve Corker's teams don't play
that way. They go out to try and win matches.
I mean, if you're trying to give a drawer, you
just know, park a big bus, you know, not literally,
but in front of the in front of the goal,
and basically have everyone back on defense and just stop
the other team from scoring. That's not the way they play.
But like I say, if it's late in the game,

(02:31):
and let's say twenty minutes to go and it's at nilall,
I think you think, okay, let's try and close this
one out, go home at nilall and win next week
and it goes smart at go medium. That's smart.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, Piney, thank you very much, really appreciate it and
enjoy your coffee. I'll see you again, So I'll see
you next week. Actually it's Piney. We can spook host
midday to three o'clock tomorrow and Sunday here on new
