Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lots of your checks coming in. On this interview we
have with the Australian lawyer who says come to New
Zealand at your own risk. This is in response to
our tourism campaign. So he won't travel unless he can sue,
says this text. That's bizarre. No foreign national should be
admitted to New Zealand without travel insurance and not be
eligible for acc says Murray. Marie says, Ryan, really, this

(00:20):
man Peter from Queensland is ridiculous. If an Australian goes
to eighteen to ninety percent of countries around the world,
there is no compensation. But his point, Maria is that
you can sue whereas you can't sue here, So it's
different anyway, it is eighteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Up that never happened. What we don't know?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I agree, I agree. We have Darcy here, Darcy, good afternoon, Good.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Afternoon, mister Brock. Good to have you and indeed to
see you as well.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
And tell me, so what's happening with Will Young and
this He's created a bit of a conundrum for the
black Caps, hasn't he.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Will Young's been on the exterior for quite some time now.
He's an elegant batsman. He knows how to score runs,
but he can't quite get in his role on the team.
When he gets into the middle order, he can't quite
make it click. But he covered for Ratchen Revender he opened.
He scored a beautiful ton last night. Tom Lathan back
and Form he scored a ton as well. So the

(01:15):
next discussion point is when Richend Revendra comes back, does
Devin Conway exit and Young stays in the team? What
does Young exit and Devin Conway stays in the team.
So that's the debate now that the selectors have to have,
and it makes a lot of point. In fact, there's
a newsletic called the Bounce. Dylan Cleveer Form, a colleague

(01:36):
of mine from a New Zealand held, writes that, and
he wrote in his news edter today that Will Young
looked like he was batting on a different surface to everybody.
He was that assured with what he was doing. It
was wonderful, wonderful to watch on himself along with Lathan
and the brutal Phillips. Glenn Phillips set up that victory
over Pakistani So it's great to see.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Now Rugby League does plans for the second n RL team,
the New Zealand NRL team, the Warriors being accused of
trying to shut it all down.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Do you understand why they would.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, because they don't want the competition.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
There's two schools of thought. And David Moffatt's going to
join us on Sports Talk up after seven o'clock because
he's the CEO of the South Island Key a bit
that want to get involved from the South Island. One
school of thoughts say is I understand protecting your patch.
I don't want to other sponsors coming on board. They
didn't want anyone stealing that fire. This is the Warriors.
They want to be solely focused on them. And David

(02:30):
Moffatt's going on he haven't really done much. I mean really,
you've got cell phones, haven't won. And the other other
side of it, let's thought what happened more with Auckland
EFC and the Phoenix Now that rivalry, it's sold out
it go Media Stadium this weekend and I think that
creates more energy behind the competition itself. So if there's
a second NRL team, surely that's better for the Warriors.

(02:53):
Even though the Warriors say we need to wait another
teen or fifteen years, not that it's.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
There to wait another ten or fifty, because presumably it
would be great for player development too, you'd have more
opportunities pathways. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah. And then that's what the Mona pacifica team looking
at as well. It's like, hey, we want a big
Pacific team here. We've got so many players, maybe we
can get a sided. And then you've got the Orca
who wants to run at a christ Church as well.
There are all these consortiums desperate to climb in. But
you know what the overarching, the overbearing situation here is.
I don't think the NRL wants us anyway. I don't

(03:26):
think they want another team. They've not communicated, they've not talked,
they've not been open. Avalander's is running around trying to
find billions of dollars from everybody else. And while they're
getting six hundred million out of the EUSSI government to
put Papua New Guinea in and try and tell them
it's got something to do with Chinese interests in northern anyway.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, well it certainly does. It's quite political. That very fun,
isn't it. Darcy? Thank you, We'll see you tonight.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Joe Parker's on the show tonight with that explosive Joseph
Parker on the show, just get off the fame of
them beyond the show, talking about us big title fight
this week.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
When Peters is on his way to go see Joseph
Parker fight Darcy Watergrove sports talk host. He'll be with
it at seven o'clock tonight on news Talks dB. For

Talks it'd be from four pm weekdays, or follow the
