Speaker 1 (00:00):
Andrews. Have a good morning, Jason playing good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
You've got the answer, Jason. Why is at soboddy in
the Needen Stadium when it's indoors under a roof.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
No, I've been spending the last ten minutes doing some
some research for you, Mike. It's it's natural grass with
a couple of artificial fibers in there under the roof
at forsythe Bar. There should be no reason why it
should be muddy. I mean it's grass like outside, but yeah,
there's no don't have.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
To water it to the point where we get dirty.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
No.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
No, I think if it's I think if it's gloomy overhead,
it's quite difficult to grow. I know they have banks
of lights that they put in there which just sit
above the grass to try and help replicate sunlight, I suppose.
But if it's gloomy outside, there's no sun coming through
that roof, Mike, I think that might.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well be the issue.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
The other point is I think, given forsythe Bar was
built some time ago, the Christchurch Stadium would now use
different or newer technology, so they may not have as
much of an issue. I stand corrected, but that's my theory.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But okay, so let's open a book. How long does
Canterbury Jason hold the renfully Shield for three seasons or four?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Think about it.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I thought, I watched I watched that game yesterday and
Canterbury didn't seem that excited to win the Renfurley Shield.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, and I thought, well, do they deserve to have it?
Everybody else was some celebrations.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
It was celebrations, yeah they were, but no one was
running onto the field save and you know, when the
Rnfurley Shield gets one, you know often it's a highlight
of a premature player's career.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
So look, look good on Canterbury.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
You know, good on them for winning it, and look
they'll probably have it for a while.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Bay of plenty next, I think are the next challenges.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
But yeah, it just didn't seem to have the excitement
of when Otago won it, for example, off.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Canterbury last year.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I watched those scenes yesterday just as a bit of
a throwback, and they seemed a lot more excited.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
But I think I think it would mean that he
of a lot to the players, right, and I think
it would mean a lot of people in Canterbury, But
not like the good old days, Mike, right, you'd agree.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I agree. It's it's not like we used to go
down just to watch them parade down the street. It
was just like that. That's stuff that would stop the town.
Whereas that's life's moved on.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Guys by Robbie Deans and parades, grizz We know one
at the airport. We know one at the airport. No welcome.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
But I'm saying that if an outfit like if an
outok fit like one or two, oh sure they or
one of it. If they won, it didn't go on,
and they have recently.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I gotta say I didn't watch the game, but I
sort of like smooges are walking past it. But the
Western Springs thing with Auckland playing whoever Auckland played, I mean,
it's you might as well play it in the local
neighborhood park. Now, I mean, has it got that bad?
You know what I mean? It's not the same.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well, it's probably better.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
It's probably closer and better atmosphere than some of the
ground's m PC games are played at with with small crowds. Again,
the provinces not a major problem, the big cities an issue.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, if you have if you have ever thousand people
of Eden Park or at Wellington Stadium. It just looks horrendous,
doesn't it. Yeah, Western Springs. I did like Duplessi Kadifi's
sprint from the back of the line out to set
up a try playing at second five. Mike, you would
have enjoyed that scene Duplessy Kadifi at second five for Wellington.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Didn't didn't notice that particular.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
You were clearly on Saturdays still coming down from planning,
not just.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
As amazing scenes on Friday Night.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
There is no team better than us in the NRL?
Am I Corrector? Might we can literally beat anybody?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I agree with that, I think, and Friday night showed that.
And as I heard you speaking to Cameron George and
he's always reserved asn't he, But he said, yeah, our
intent is to win the next four.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I mean that the Sharks loosened to the Dragons last night,
you know, helped the Warriors out a bit. But I
still think, you know the four games they could. You know,
the Roosters played the Panthers Thursday night. Somebody's going to
lose that game, so the Warriors will be back to
second when they beat the Broncos on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
What are you talking about? We're second now the top
two of the same score. So the next one down
is second.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Come on, there's teams two teams above us, but we're
still seeing well.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
They're the same score.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay, okay, jeez.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's all about attitude, Jason. Yes, it's how you see
the numbers. Numbers can be anything you want them to be.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Now, is that is? That is the NR old table
similar to the petrol exercise text.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Very simple, isn't it. I mean, come on, you can't
tell me that there was something that's already there is
a new text when it isn't a tax and it's
been adjusted for inflation. I mean, surely we all understand that,
don't we.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Warriors, Mike, we're in the amazing scenes, Jason. That Harker
was absolutely fantastic. Then the game you have Fisher Harris
playing his backside off, which he usually does, but Jeeze
was inspirational.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Leka Halasima. He had Loose.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Metcalf making his comeback and starring that hell of Seema
is going to be a superstar for many years to come.
Then you have the crowd afterwards celebrating what wonderful scenes.
And then Michael, you tune in on Saturday morning to
watch the All Blacks over officiated stop start stop, start,
whistle whistle whistle, and you wonder why the game of
(05:31):
union has a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
What a very good point. Yes, the conundrum Andrew, so
do what do you do with Metcalf? So the argument
is does a player lose their position because of injury? No?
Does a player get picked on form? Yes? So what
wins injury your form? Because you can't put Metcalf back down?
Can you?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I don't think you can after that performance. And webs
has alway struck me as being pretty pragmatic sort of character.
So I'd imagine he'll stay, won't he.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I would have thought that he'd had to. Can't. He
can't do that? And then you say, oh, you're back
on the beach becoming can you.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, clearly there's been a falling out between between the
club and Luke Metcalf and and you know, over his
decision to leave. But he's in there now. He was
the best player out there on Friday nights. And you're right, Mike,
you know that's been Andrew Webster's thing the whole time
is if you play in my team and play well,
you don't get dropped even if somebody comes back. So
(06:21):
Luke Metcalf could be a massive part of the back
end of the season. Look, I've been wanting to see
him there for a while. It's happened through misfortune rather
than than you know, selection from from Andrew Webster. But
he's there now and I think he's going to have
a big parte play.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
The only thing that was running through the back of
my head on the next day was the only concern
is was that the Warriors Grand Final. Can they keep
lifting over these nick Now listen, can they keep lifting
over the next three or four weeks of regular season
and then lift again in the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And then should they make the Grand Final?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Lift against not an unfair point, That's the key. It's
not an unfair point, I think for the rest of
the season because they make the playoffs. So there's that
particular hurdles out of the way once you get But
isab always said, once you get to the playoffs, the playoffs,
really it's the unfortunate thing. It's why you like the
NBA and the baseball in America. It's a series, so
you can have a bad day and still come back
(07:15):
when when you get the playoffs, it's like it.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Is also the fact there isn't it. If you finish
high enough, you get a life in the playoffs, and
that subconsciously, then do you ease off?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I reckon, that's a mistake. I've always thought to yourself,
if I had a choice, have a week off or
carry on, I'd carry on because you got a rhythm.
You got to rhythm, and you've got to momentum in
the moment you know. You get a week off, suddenly, yes,
you might fix some injuries and stuff, but you lose
your you lose your step.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I reckon, But yeah, but if you get that week off,
that means you are then one game away from the
Grand final. If you win that week one, if you're
in the top four and you win your game in
that round, you get the week off, and then you
are one game away from the Grand Final and you
host that game. I think it's a it's a massive
advantage to finish as high as you can. One and
(08:06):
two in particular, because can you imagine go media stadium
for finals matches on Friday night was going off? Imagine
a finals match there or matches plural.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We'll have that debate. If we get a home playoff,
you'll have to have park again, won't you.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The NRL would because they take all the money, right.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, the and Andy gets the gets the cash, doesn't
he As Cameron George said, good, I think that would
be a big mistake.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I know would bottom lines' bottom line?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, k resisted that temptation, didn't they and it worked
for them. I think the Warriors would be putting their
foot down in a major way to say we're staying
where we are.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Quick question for both of you, because you will have
dealt with them more than I have. David Nika, who
we had in last week and see the world's Nicest guy.
What I didn't realize how exceptional he is.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, top, top guy.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Mike been through a heck of a lot, him and
his family and his his fiance and the Thornberry family
who he lives and trains with, rural Queensland. So for
him to go out there on Saturday night it was
a grind of a fight. He's won it and now
he gets another shot at the world title. Couldn't happen
to a bit of bloke.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I also happen to see a bit of the basketball.
You see the basketball yesterday? That was that was that
reminded me of old days. Carl Stadium sad that packed house. Yep,
local sport people into it. The Southland Winds place goes off.
That's that's like the good old days.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, great scenes, great finish over time. Yep.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
It certainly brought back memories of that great Canterbury team
or the NBL of the of the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That's short.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You made it about you made it about Canterbury again.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
All those were the days the Hill Brothers. Don't you
remember the Hill Brothers, Jason.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
A, the Hill Brothers, John Duchy, Radamakers, all the greats.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yet ye were the dam Have we've forgotten?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Have we've forgotten Kennymickfaden up in Saints Country? Have we
forgotten about his three pointed to win that Grand Final
on Live TV on Saturday night on TV one?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Have we jeez? Clearly you hadn't quick question and I
asked this. I asked this from a very quick question.
I was watching what's going on with the ESPN? Do
either of you know? I watched over the weekend. I
flicked across to esp and they had a slippery step
competition on I'm not making this up. They was televised
slippery step competition in which people had to run up
(10:20):
slippery steps with soap running down them and people squirting
stuff at them. And they call that sport and that's on,
that's on global television. What the hell's going on there? Exactly?
You can't answer it, can you?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
They have it? What's the what's the little bag? The
corn bag?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
That's the other thing, the corn hole corn.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's bloody ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I mean, you and I in our back yard, I'd
fair enough nothing wrong with it. You don't televise it
to the world and call it sport. Have they run
out of sport?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
The big question of the day though, Mike, it will
the ESPN have a camera at the Zipbe reunion do
on Friday to film anyone slipping down the slippery slope?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
That could be there'll be some slip free slippery steeps
at the end of that reg I.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Can tell you know, you know, I've been invited, Mike.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I'm so pleased, and so you deserve to be And
are you coming?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And is it catered? Yes, I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
It's most definitely caated. Will's in charge of the catering and.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So this could be making the sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
He's making sandwiches and he's he's got a tray full
of baking goods just for you. So if you're coming,
that'll be exciting. Please, what about you, Jason, were you
invited as well?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Definitely definitely coming.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Save I had deexon yesterday on the show to celebrate
one hundred years. He's quite keen to have a chat
to you, actually, he told me he wants to have
a chat to you about why about why there are
some more crickets.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, we'll sit up in the corner, sav It'll be.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Deep and and are you kicking on afterwards?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Mike? With us kicking on?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Is my is my middle name?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We should get We should see if Canterby can bring
the shield up and Will and bite the Hill Brothers memory.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
What a nice to see you, guys, Jason, Jason Pie,
and Andrew Seville.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to
news Talks. It'd be from six am weekdays, or follow
the podcast on iHeartRadio.

host that game. I think it's a it's a massive
advantage to finish as high as you can. One and
(08:06):
two in particular, because can you imagine go media stadium
for finals matches on Friday night was going off? Imagine
a finals match there or matches plural.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We'll have that debate. If we get a home playoff,
you'll have to have park again, won't you.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The NRL would because they take all the money, right.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, the and Andy gets the gets the cash, doesn't
he As Cameron George said, good, I think that would
be a big mistake.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I know would bottom lines' bottom line?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, k resisted that temptation, didn't they and it worked
for them. I think the Warriors would be putting their
foot down in a major way to say we're staying
where we are.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Quick question for both of you, because you will have
dealt with them more than I have. David Nika, who
we had in last week and see the world's Nicest guy.
What I didn't realize how exceptional he is.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, top, top guy.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Mike been through a heck of a lot, him and
his family and his his fiance and the Thornberry family
who he lives and trains with, rural Queensland. So for
him to go out there on Saturday night it was
a grind of a fight. He's won it and now
he gets another shot at the world title. Couldn't happen
to a bit of bloke.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I also happen to see a bit of the basketball.
You see the basketball yesterday? That was that was that
reminded me of old days. Carl Stadium sad that packed house. Yep,
local sport people into it. The Southland Winds place goes off.
That's that's like the good old days.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, great scenes, great finish over time. Yep.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
It certainly brought back memories of that great Canterbury team
or the NBL of the of the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That's short.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You made it about you made it about Canterbury again.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
All those were the days the Hill Brothers. Don't you
remember the Hill Brothers, Jason.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
A, the Hill Brothers, John Duchy, Radamakers, all the greats.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yet ye were the dam Have we've forgotten?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Have we've forgotten Kennymickfaden up in Saints Country? Have we
forgotten about his three pointed to win that Grand Final
on Live TV on Saturday night on TV one?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Have we jeez? Clearly you hadn't quick question and I
asked this. I asked this from a very quick question.
I was watching what's going on with the ESPN? Do
either of you know? I watched over the weekend. I
flicked across to esp and they had a slippery step
competition on I'm not making this up. They was televised
slippery step competition in which people had to run up
(10:20):
slippery steps with soap running down them and people squirting
stuff at them. And they call that sport and that's on,
that's on global television. What the hell's going on there? Exactly?
You can't answer it, can you?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
They have it? What's the what's the little bag? The
corn bag?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
That's the other thing, the corn hole corn.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's bloody ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I mean, you and I in our back yard, I'd
fair enough nothing wrong with it. You don't televise it
to the world and call it sport. Have they run
out of sport?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
The big question of the day though, Mike, it will
the ESPN have a camera at the Zipbe reunion do
on Friday to film anyone slipping down the slippery slope?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
That could be there'll be some slip free slippery steeps
at the end of that reg I.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Can tell you know, you know, I've been invited, Mike.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I'm so pleased, and so you deserve to be And
are you coming?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And is it catered? Yes, I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
It's most definitely caated. Will's in charge of the catering and.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So this could be making the sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
He's making sandwiches and he's he's got a tray full
of baking goods just for you. So if you're coming,
that'll be exciting. Please, what about you, Jason, were you
invited as well?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Definitely definitely coming.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Save I had deexon yesterday on the show to celebrate
one hundred years. He's quite keen to have a chat
to you, actually, he told me he wants to have
a chat to you about why about why there are
some more crickets.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, we'll sit up in the corner, sav It'll be.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Deep and and are you kicking on afterwards?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Mike? With us kicking on?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Is my is my middle name?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We should get We should see if Canterby can bring
the shield up and Will and bite the Hill Brothers memory.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
