Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sport with tab bed Live with in Play Responsibly. Darcy
water Grave sports talk hosters with Us.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hello, Darcy Ant did you.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Find the thing that you're looking for on your phone
right now?

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Another Ruckers in Parliament. Yeah, it's nice to see. Are
you looking for your betting as I was looking for
it because of course the rat bet responsibly if you're
going to have a bit of a flourish. I watched
the Breakers finally win last night.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Were you excited?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Very excited? It wasn't just the fact that they won.
It was the manner in which they won. That's what
got me about it. They've been pretty rotten all season,
they were and four going into that what are you
going to do? But they had like a heart to
heart man man and talked about what they got wrong
and what they got right, and they actually got it

(00:51):
incredibly right last night against the reigning championships. I'm the
reigning champions, the Elauira Hawks, So they've they've they've lifted
things up dramatically. So there was a home game. It
was absolutely packed there. Well, it looked like the TV
cameras anyway, and some of our superstars really stood up

(01:11):
and to me, it looked like it might be a
team that's finally starting to realize its potential because you
remember they won the preseason blitz tournament, so they've got
a lot of talent, and I think a lot of
them are quite confused around what they were doing wrong.
So it was really coaching specific. But then a lot
of their superstars did turn up. So I just wanted

(01:35):
to talk about that because I'm trying to find out
what it costs to actually back them to win the
whole season, because I'm so enthusiastic.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Do you want do you want the German to see
if she can find out?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Wow? Like I can't find it. She gambles, but I've
got I've got something else to play with, and I
like very very much because you know, I'm a big fan.
It's what happens. This weekend is Bathist, huge weekend of motorsport,
huge beeaking favorite, and that's brought Phoenie three dollars thirty
Brady Sticky when it last year is at four to
seventy five, but I think I like this option. It's

(02:09):
seven dollars. It's Matt Paine, who's been tremendous all throughout
the year with Garth Tander who's got a great record
there and that's his co driver. So it's seven dollars.
I think that represents reasonably good coin.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
How do you rate the chances of the White Ferns
winning tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's funny. I'm going to be talking to Craig McMillan
about that in the show tonight about what aren't You've
got to rate them reasonably highly because you've got to
think that Susie Bates is not going to get a
third consecutive duck. She went through a stage of how
many internationals fifty maybe without scoring a duck. Sudden she
gets killing the bounce because Soviet Devine's looking like a
woman possessed Mealy Kerr has got it all. There are

(02:52):
some of the younger players coming through too. Now they've
got their backs to the wall. Now the pressure's on.
I'd suggest if they lose another one, because I've still
got England to play, might just be curtains. So do
we see diamonds out of this pressure or just get squashed?
I just don't know. What I do know is that
I can only last you about midnight and I collapse.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Because yeah, because you're old, Darcy Wargrave, Thank you sports
talk host, you were back at seven this evening to
talk about the White Firs. For more from Heather Duplessy
