Speaker 1 (00:14):
Logan Savery of the South and Tribune joins us before
we wrap up another week here on the musters. Save
good afternoon. It's a bluebird filled afternoon sky here in
the South. It's brilliant.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
They haven't just left everyone's Moodn't it a beautiful day?
And to have it come on a Friday, how good?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Absolutely this hope that move continues to the stacks. And
I tell you what, they're underdogs against North Harbor. Harbor
hasn't won a game this year. Southland's just head to
head two seventy. I think it might be like over
six bucks for thirteen plus. I mean, Southland that second
half last week show what they can do, but it
was just a three and a half games before that

(00:52):
where it all went to cack.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, that's right. I mean I was a bit surprised
as well by it. I mean, I guess the bookmakers
have gone looked at seven class three and a half
weeks before that half against Kats and Nada day and
going well that they haven't been there. Great, but look
we're special teams up on paper che and have got
far more firepower than North North Harbor and should actually

(01:14):
get the job done to it tonight if they played
the potential. So yeah, I was a bit surprised too,
so we'll see what I'm It was really important to
finish the season where I think for the stakes, so
many different reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Really well of those and we think back to twelve
months ago roundabout since time, remembering we are up forty
five to seven at half time against a saved team.
But twelve months is a long time in sport, right, Yeah,
that was one of.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
The more bizarre days. And self Ragby there there was
absolutely daylight today, absolutely cracking out Ragby Park and then
all of a sudden we was looking around to have
a go, what's going on here? Forty five seven or
whatever it was at half done. As you said, this
doesn't happen, So look, a performance close to that tonight
would be It would be a great way to finish.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
One of your articles the other day talking of James
Wilson saying it's important we have a good finish for
next year. But it's the same old reality. Being a
Southern rugby fan, how many of this team is going
to be there in twelve months time?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, I think there will be. There will be turnover
because some some players you probably haven't played their way
into a new contract. I think the key will be
the keep the you know, the main player. So you're
talking SEMSSI to potal Fell to opending with the whatsnot

(02:32):
do I understand that that a lot of those guys
will beack, which important. But just looking at the season,
I think we definitely some disappointment. I think internally it
rode yourself and I forget that they put together a
team that could give the playoffs to shape this year
and probably should have. And I guess after when I
won those three games in the trot, there was every

(02:52):
every intention that that could in case it probably need
to get to I don't know about six ones to
get there. They wanted to. Not they won, they would
be the fourth one. So they won four games in
the season. Disappointment, I think, not to make the playoffs.
I guess then the half class full side will say, well,
it's actually been we have to go back to two

(03:15):
thousand and four and to find a self and team
that's won four games in an NBC season. So if
they get up tonight, they they matched that. But you're right,
there's a there's a bit of a groundhole day about it.
We seem to get at this time of the year
and to look at the challenges we have and we
can go long and half, we can keep this thing

(03:35):
together and by blah blah, and we sort of go
over the surground again and then we're rather for the
next season and we have the same conversation. So yeah,
there's probably there's probably some some key positions. You know,
if they get a strike seem to fall back, you
know in a couple of handing auditions, would would be good.
But that you know, I be getting super quality players,

(03:57):
super ad the quality players that it costs money. So yeah,
there's there's a but to work during the last season
to get towards an excellent Soonson I would have thought.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
So how do we view this season? There's the possibility
of four winds that it was looking so good for
so long that I don't know, did those couple of
days on the drink derailed the season perhaps, and just
change focus injuries? How do you look at it?

Speaker 2 (04:21):
I definitely think in hindsight that they will probably would
have done a few things different after that ran shield
when I mean I did think at the time a
six day turnaround against the call of the Canterbury team,
you know, and a couple of days celebration. You know,
I don't want to take anything away from them. They

(04:42):
deserve to just to celebrate. But you know, maybe the
link that went probably in hindsight wasn't was an ideal
and they got tied up against Canterbury. Look, were struggled
against the generutine they went they today even if they
come off a fresh thing, but then they they really
startled after that. I think, you know, really disappointing run.

(05:05):
I mean not just the fact that they lost some
of those games, but in the fashion that they lost
they lost them, which was really disappointing. You know, we
felt like in the last few season were starting to
cut out those real blowouts and even games that the
lost last season, they were really in the flight, like
the game, and that happened on the run of the

(05:28):
last preport games. So that's the disappointing thing. I think
you have to say disappointment because we must have quarter finals.
And I think that even though of this competition they
had a real shot that they could have been playing
playoffs this year. That just got a little bit more
after that round.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
For the shal victory, we'll get a shout out as
well Josh Evans making the New Zealand and eighty five
kg team. He played for Woodies this year, ended up
in christ Church and I love the name for the
these teams. The Silverdale Truffle Pegs had a lot of
players as the Josh's team, the high school Old Boys
light Bears, or there are players from Auckland University slug collectors.

(06:10):
The under under eighty five competition though, seems to be
a pretty good one.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I think it's it's a real future for his genre.
But you know we talk about we often talk about
the Gama Ragby Binks, just about size and physicality and
at that high end, and just Josh Evans is prime example,
really good club wordlands gets the job done. You know,

(06:36):
he was really good this season. It just probably didn't
have that size to go to the next level. But
this under eighty five hours group provides not the opportunities
for those really good players and that that that size bracket,
they have a good cracket rugby at a different level,
and that is a great story Josh Evans making that

(06:58):
national team and yeah it's that gross and then I'm
ready four kg competition or whoever it was going to
be huge in the coming years.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Good on your sad the South in Triview, we always
appreciate your time. Antler's that one last time, may get.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Why not let's get the job done or not.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Laugh out loud with ag proud because life on the
land can be a laughing matter. Brought to us by
sheer Well data working to help the livestock farmer of late.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Was telling me, I was I was into my second marriage.
I married a twenty year old. Her mother was also
very attractive. She's thirty eight, and she married my son.
So my son is now my father in law, and
as the father of my father in law, I am
my own grandfather. Sounds complicated, sounds a bit different. Nonetheless,

(07:49):
that's what we've got for a Friday. Let's leave it there.
Hey enjoyed this. Wee the hell good. My name is
Andy Muey. You've been listening to the muster on Hakannui

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
