Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from news Talk said be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio, Rerap.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And Welcome to the Rewrap for Monday, all the best,
but from the mic asking breakfast on news Talks, it'd
be in a sillier package. I am Glenhart today. Oh
how the Warriors have fallen? Mike considers going to see
some NFL instead. He also considers moving to christ Church
just for a change, and we'll find out whether that's
(00:46):
the place where you get a great median wage. But
before any of that, Yeah, man, crazy sports stuff going
on all over the place, isn't there if you can
call what's happening at Netball New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Sport Noel in Tarrua. I mean it isn't the first
coach to be badly treated, of course, but she might
actually be the most successful and well regarded and sport
I was thinking to himself over the week. It's funny,
old thing, isn't it. These these It sort of seems
to want to walk a line between being successful and
being modern or dare I suggest the word woke? See
last week when reports of players feeling unsafe emerged, I
(01:21):
didn't even know what that actually meant. Unsafe to me anyway,
Unsafe for something that might happen in the dark in
an alley. It's a physical danger thing as opposed to
an emotional state on a court. On a court, you
can be exhausted or exhilarated or furious or related. I
just can't work out how you are unsafe, which in
part is the problem. I think it's an invention or
(01:42):
a new derivation of the word. Your environment has been
interfered with, even if you accept its new usage. It's
the sort of thing you might find on a university
campus among the angsty. On a sport field or a court,
it's got no place, even less so if that court
is at the elite level. I mean, cycling had a
horrible time if you remember that, But that was abuse.
(02:02):
Is netball talking about abuse? Does taru abuse people? That
doesn't seem to be the suggestion. Next is the lack
of clarity, if not honesty. All reports seem to indicate
unsafe is code for the coach being a bit old fashioned,
demanding high standards, not putting up with slackness. See, we
used to like that approach. That approach was the norm
the only purpose of elite sport, if you think about it,
(02:23):
the only purpose is victory. It exists for no other
reason than to let a chosen for you express themselves
in a way where they win and others can piggyback
by way of television licensing or ticket sales or just
being a fan. Unless Nolan Tarua has had a personality
transformation and they're all wandering around that ball in New
Zealand going, oh, what happened to Nol's man? That Knowles
(02:44):
has changed, hasn't she? Which I suspect hasn't happened. Then
what we are left with is the inescapable conclusion that
Tarua is the victim of soft management in a world
where every cry baby is heard, and the ultimate victim
Irony of ironies, is one of the best and one
of the sport's greatest ever exponents. She is benched while
the woke in the boardroom wrecked the National.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Women's sport a favoring of Lorie Mainz's climate of fair
down in Otago? Doesn't it? Remember that? Remember them? And
that was the thing? Apparently there was a climate of
fear and that was a very long time ago. So yeah,
I don't know how woke this is, because Woke's only
(03:28):
a thing that's happened recently, isn't it woke? I think
it's just sometimes some coaches coach a certain way and
eventually the players get a bit sick of it and
they would like somebody to be a bit nicer to them.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's so rewrap.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm not sure what kind of climate Andrew Webster's running
at the Warriors, but it didn't work for them over
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
So that's it for twenty twenty five. Thanks for coming.
Got to the playoffs. Fell at the first hurdle. To
be fair, I was late for the All Blacks, given
things at half time were not what they were at
the end of the game. But we never looked like
we were going to win, did we? I mean beyond
we got two points early, but although that was technically
a lead, at no point did you think, I tell
you what We're going to go on with this. The
try we did score I thought was awesome, but we
(04:08):
needed much more where that came from, and it never
looked like that was going to happen. Penrith look like
the champions they are after a while. They did what
great sides do basically step up and finish us off.
Every time they had the ball, they looked a little
bit quicker, a little bit more expansive in their thinking. Clearly,
if he isn't the game's best player, who's certainly right
up there under different circumstances, they would have been a
(04:29):
threat all season if you think about it, and I
mean the fact they started this is penrith. The fact
they started the way they did, indeeded it up in
the hole they did. That's inexplicable. But if you want
any sort of consolation, can it come from the potential
that they will now go on and defend yet again
another title? Is there? I don't know comfort in watching
a side break records given it if they win, no
(04:52):
champion side has come from last the following season to
go on and repeat that victory. The lesson the season
is there's clearly a handful of sides that are quite
obviously better than us, the Raiders, the Storm, the Bulldogs
of Panthers. Would it have been different if Metcalf and
Barnett hadn't been lost, You know what? I don't think so.
The trick now is to materially improve the side we
(05:13):
had by historic measures if you want a bit of
something up beat a good season, I mean a better
season than most. For virtually the whole season, there was
little or any doubt we were going to go to
the playoffs. Historically, it's rare to be able to say that.
So we were there or thereabouts. But once we played
and lost to every one of those top sides, once
that fact was indisputable that we couldn't basically beat the
(05:34):
best sides, that was the season, wasn't it. So what
happened Saturday was always going to happen. The league is
too good, too tight these days for boilovers. Great sides
don't lose when it counts. That's why they are great.
The Panthers might be the greatest of them all, let's see,
But for us maybe next year.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yes, it's interesting, isn't that Watching some of these other
teams in the NRL, they just really do seem to
lift another level, and that just seems to be a
level that the Warriors don't ever seem to quite have.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's weird.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Let's kick the sport coming aid, Let's go from RL
to in f our. I think Mike's keen to try
and get some kind of trip going to the States
in a few months time.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I was just watching by the way, the Cowboys got
up over the Giants. Not that you care, but I do.
I mean, you're going to win, you might as well
win forty to thirty seven. The Rams won, so I'm
excited about the Rams. I follow the Rams. Do you
have a favorite one team?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, La, I was going to say, because if it
was the Cowboys, they are sort of the warriors.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Of a very similar really very very similar.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Always promised so much at various times throughout the season.
Quite we're really quite.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
They never quite delivered. I was looking up, funnily enough,
this morning, la are playing Detroit. Once I go on
holiday in December, la are playing Detroit in Los Angeles,
and I thought that'd be a nice Christmas gift, would
go to Sofi Stadium. And I was looking up packages,
and there's a lot of money to go to the football,
but it's unlimited be a wine and soft drinks as
(07:10):
part of the packages and food.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Do you think you'd still get in these days? After
all the mean things you've said quite publicly about certain
my ranking.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
None of it's on social media official. I'm not on
social media. That'd scream a thing at the fun they'd go,
how come there's nothing in this phone?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
To be honest, you probably get detained for that these
days as well. Suspicious suspiciously empty phone. How can you
have no apps on? Here? Rewrap right. It's been talked
about before, and the reasons just keep on coming.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Apparently.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I think Mike's wanting to move the show to.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Christ Church, inspired by your comments, Mike, recently we went
to christ Church of the weekend. Wow, it's special, friendly,
good housing options and tick so many boxes, forget boxes,
forget Auckland. We're seriously moving. That's good to hear, very
good piece and you must read it if you missed it.
Out of the week in Mitchell Hageman wrote how christ
Church became the most liveable city in New Zealand. And
(08:05):
here are some stats. I'm not even sure. And no
one's followed the christ story more than a christ Church
story more than me, but I'm not even sure I
knew these numbers. More than forty two thousand people have
moved to Canterbury from the North Island since twenty eighteen.
Forty two thousand. That's virtually a city. A city's moved
to a city seventeen thousand people had been living in
(08:27):
Auckland alone have moved to christ Church since twenty eighteen,
fifteen to twenty four year olds. That population has grown
by six percent since the last census, So the young people. Again,
there's a lot of university action there. I know that
from personal experience, a lot of people going to university
and deliberately choosing Canterbury University. Growing quite quickly in terms
of businesses as well as startups. And then it worked
(08:48):
through the whole article, worked through the cost of housing,
the opportunities for business and jobs, and the weather and
all that sort of stuff. But worst they seemed to
say they found somebody who had their windows broken twice
in their car. It was just the one person who
had their windows broken twice, and so that was about
as bad as they could they had to try to
balance out.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
That is pretty unlucky.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That is pretty unlucky. I thought it was more unlucky
than a reflection on christ Jutch, but I might be wrong.
But anyway, look that up and read it. It'll lift
the mood of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, I was born in christ Jude. I've never felt
the urge to move back there. Got to say, not
that I that I'll ever had my windows broken into
there or anything. I mean, I think to a car,
it's windows broken into just around the corner from my
place the other day, and I'm not going to flee
as a result of there either. What were we talking about,
(09:35):
Let's move on the re wrap. Just wanted to finish
out talking about how much money everybody makes.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Now I have new statistics for you the median wage
across various industries in this country. So in the last
ten years, the median wage across New Zealand has risen
from about sixty seven thousand dollars to nearly eighty and
so informetrics have crunched the numbers and so we've got
data from Stats to New Zealand. So the meaning median
income by industry, so top five are as follows. You
(10:02):
need to be in coal, oil, gas, metal line or
all of that sort of stuff. Because the median wages
one hundred and thirty sixundred and thirty seven thousand dollars
computer systems, design and related services. It's one twenty five
exploration and other mining. So really that's two mining sort
of jobs in the top three hundred and twenty four
auxiliary finance and insurance services. I don't know what auxiliary
(10:23):
finance is one hundred and twenty four and finance just generally, Well,
you want to be an auxiliary because you earn one
hundred and twenty fours and just plain old finance, it's
only one hundred and twenty two. So the auxiliary is
the extra two thousand dollars a year. So there you go.
If you're not earning the money, that's where it is
you can.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
There's some kids at school today listen to that as
though as they've been given to school. Yeah, we've got
to get into that auxiliary finance sector. So I'm going
to do of being a fireman or a policeman and
I grow up, it's all about auxiliary finance for me.
Either that or you could become whatever it as I am.
(11:02):
I'll get back to you on what that is exactly. Kids.
I promise, I have green Heart famous for making promises
I can't keep, but I will be back here tomorrow.
You know, Bridge closes.
