Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the All Sport Breakfast podcast with Darcy
Waldgrave from News Talk SEDB All Sport Breakfast, All Star
Panel and.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Our All Star Panel this weekend consists of Graham, the
Sports Freaking Beasley, Morrina to you.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Graham, Marina, Darcy, how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I'm very very well.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You look I've just had a cup of tea sitting
on the deck in the sun. A week we've had
mentioned how that feels.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Why it's a parallel universell it? Sonny here as well.
Jenny Woods also joins us to Maria, Jenny Yorakiura, you
have a lovely story. Let's start with this, Darlin. Nowatse
Aleishniek is a lovely man, and you've got evidence I have.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I went to have my haircut yesterday and she told
me a lovely story. Her elderly mother always needs to
help putting fuel in the car, and this particular day,
it was just a couple of weeks ago, she'd stopped
by the pump and she's close to ninety woman's and
she'd be very small. So this bloke came along and
offered to help, and she said, oh yes, please, but
(01:12):
just many dollars please, because I need, you know, just
enough to get to my next appointment. So this guy
he did that, saying, you know, he did it for
his grandmother all the time, and by the time she
got into pay it was all taken care of. He'd
filled the tank all one hundred and fifty dollars worth
and she had no idea who he was. But the
(01:32):
service station attendant said, well, you know, do you realize
that that was the Warrior's winner? What a Zlesniak, So
you know, what a great guy, and she just didn't know.
The hairdresser still I said, oh, I don't know how
to thank them, but I think they're going to pay
it forward.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well that is fantastic. These are the stories that should
be headline news. Quite frank Zilla's misery. We need a
good news story like that right now. We feel in
the fields we've got the love going only to talk
about the week in sport. Les Ks Graham is Joe
Schmid's replacement, but there's a paw. I don't think Lisa's
(02:08):
are going to either get their jugment. Won't leave mate.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
He loved the bloke first of all. What a great name,
Leskus a sub editor dream. I mean, you know, there's
going to be all sorts of great headlines over the
next few years with him in charge. I actually think
it makes a real sense. It shows that I reckon
that Joe Smut has confidence in Kess and he wants
to hand over properly, so you know, when they go
(02:31):
to the Rugby Championship this year and the end of
the year tur and all that kind of stuff, they
can have both of them in charge. And yeah, it
kind of seems like quite a good handover. And with
the terminal that the Wallabies have been in recent years,
with sort of you know, the whole shadow of Eddie
Jones there coming in and coming out and all that
kind of stuff, and the fiery Michael Checker, I think
this says she seems like quite quite a good way
(02:53):
to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I had no idea Eddy Jones came out. But it's
another story. So Jenny, what do you make of this? Well,
it's great because they've got an Irish heritage to both
of them, so they obviously know each other, they know
the game. So we should we be freaking out right
now from an all black standpoint.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
No, I don't think we should. I mean, I think
this is further evidence and what a great guy Joe
Schmid is and the fact that you know, time and
time again he's put a family ahead of his career.
And I think this is further evidence of why you know,
he's leaving at a time when he certainly doesn't need
to leave. Coaching the Australians, he's getting them into a
good place. I'd never heard of this Bili's kiss, but
(03:30):
he seems to be doing well. This is the second
season with the Reds, isn't it, and they're doing all right,
So I think good on them. And I also think
from an all Blacks point of view, you need strong competitors.
I mean, what's the point of us being any good
of no other countries any good?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, because he was also a winger Nurl North Sydney Bears.
Now there is a name for you. He's coached over
in the Republic, that the in Ireland and in South Africa.
So the guy's got pedigree. Right. Let's move away from
that and move to the seven series EID and audibly
upset Sir Gordon Tenchons on the show. So last night
(04:07):
just like doomsday, so ah, they must just give up
pretty much. I don't know if you heard that, but
this global reach ahead of the LA Olympics and the
constant tweaking is mess.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's a little bit. But on the other hand, and
sorry I didn't I didn't hear that interview. Sorry that.
On the other hand, the seventh Circuit just seems to
be drifting a bit at the moment. It doesn't have
the profile that it did, say ten years ago or so.
So I think a bit of a reset and I
(04:41):
think it might actually be quite a quite a good idea.
And supposedly the aim is to get more countries involved,
so that's laudable. So I think it could be worth
a bit of a tri because at the moment, as
I say, it just sort of seems to be sort
of carrying on a bit sort of aimlessly.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, it's not aligned with anything when it comes to
the national side, so you understand, lookt all the sevens
players Jenny that have disappe heard from sevens to go
and put the hand up for the fifteens, which is
which is understandable's becoming irrelevant event only in Olympic heres.
So that's just my opinion. What do you read out
of this?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, well, interesting because I find that I'm watching more sevens.
But this isn't I'm only watching women's sevens And is
that because the New Zealand men are not doing so well?
And I you know, I because obviously you know New
Zealand sevens women's are winning just about everything. But look,
I think a lot of sports are struggling for well relevant,
(05:39):
they're struggling for money. And if you haven't got a
British billionaire you know backing you, you're going to struggle.
I mean, look at netball, it's struggling and it's having
to tweak its format just to try and gain the
eye of sky.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Everybody's struggling. The whole world is struggling. Go figure, maybe
we could jam some tariffs on them. I'm kidding, Graham.
Lisa Carrington's decided a couple seeing a lie down. She's
going to set out the twenty five canoe sprint season
obviously prepping for the twenty eight LA Olympics. She can
do what she.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Wants right totally, and she's kind of bit like seven's
as well as she she's only going to focus on
the Olympic here and I think quite a lot of
sports are going to go down that track. But absolutely
she can do what she likes. She's got all that
credit in the bank. Obviously, she wants to move up
that list of highest gold medal winners in Olympic sports,
(06:37):
where she's currently about fifth I think, or something of
that on the global list, so she can focus on that.
If it's good for a body, yeah, it just makes
total sense. And it also gives those other kayakers coming
up a bit of a chance to shine as well.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
She's that good, right Jenny, that she can miss a
whole season and still turn up the Olympics and expect
great things. It's astonishing.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Yeah, she is astonishing.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I really like.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Actually she lives somewhere around here because I see all
the time. We live quite near Late Purple. But you know,
she and Lilia coh are just fantastic. But I'm pleased
for Amy Fisher. I mean, my heart broke for Amy
Fisher last year in Paris, and you know she wore
a heart on a sleeve. She's come back this year.
She says this is going to be her last Olympics
(07:23):
as well. She cleaned up, but the recent work only
the nationals at Karapiro. But nevermind, but give some and
I don't mean this because you give someone else and
go give someone else a chance to come through and
do well. But you know Lisa Carrington, she's thirty five now,
she'll be what thirty eighth ish in La There's got
(07:46):
to be there's got to be a time for a
new paddler.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Good thing. It's not Logan's run. They would have got
rid of her five years ago. This is this is
an old reference to a TV series, Ladies and gentlemen
that if you're old enough to remember, you not execuly
what I'm talking about. If you don't, you're going what
google it Logan's run.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Exactly, Graham News.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
So, Jenny Woods, there are our two guests on the
All Star Panels. We take a look at the week
in that sport coming up, the Indian Panthers, what the
what the the clown car runneth It's also on the
agenda up next to on a forty seven news talk
(08:27):
z B with the All Star pan on the All
Sport Breakfast Jenny Woods and Graham Beasley with this Graham,
the Indian Panthers, what and nanigans are going on? There?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Just amazing, isn't it? You know? And and years to come.
Someone the conversation someone would say, did you ever hear
about the Indian Panthers in the New Zealand NBL The
other pers who go no, I mean, he'll say, well,
you're just not going to believe this, you know, it's
just the whole, the whole story right from the on set.
It's just really weird that the concept of getting Indian
(09:01):
Indian basketball team into a New Zealand league was pretty
out there to start with. And it just seems right
from day one there've been dodges anything, you know, they
haven't paid people, the players were late getting here. The
original coach walked out after two or three rounds. It's
just it's just a perfect storm of just everything that
(09:21):
could go wrong with the team.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, and interestingly, it's been very quiet even now, and
then you hear something and then suddenly explodes this week Jenny.
And then you look back, as I said before in
my opinion piece, you just do a quick Google search
and make some connection. Go make this is a mess.
How on earth did they actually get past the claimed
due diligence? I really find that difficult to believe. What
(09:45):
have you made of this chaos?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah? And I don't know how much due diligence was
actually done, and I think, yeah, I can. That's the
disappointing thing because I, you know, to be fair to
basketball New Zealand and Justin Nelson, who has been here.
I think he's gone back to Australia now, but he,
you know, instantly a whole raft of new things for
(10:09):
basketball in this country. The rap, you know that when
they get the replacements playing and the.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Look.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
He's been amazing for the sport, no doubt about that,
but he has been involved in a couple of year.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yes, needed the front because I think that you know,
how you judge when something goes wrong is do you front?
And even if you front and say, look we got
this wrong, we're looking into it. My dad or I
don't know, he doesn't need to say that, but anyway,
it's shabby. It's very shabby. And I agree with you
and I think it's disappointing because apparently there was a
(10:43):
women's Indian team about to join the WNBL, so you
know they've just stuffed that, I think for everyone.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And I also, if you remember, just wind it back
a wee bit, there was a Tasmanian team involved. Do
you remember the Tasmanian Huskies. I think that went down
the Google the same way. So yeah, generally fantastic that
there's a couple of things there, flies in the ointment.
You go, just stand up and own it. You open
the door, you let these guys in, just tell us,
because they couldn't cause any trouble in the league if
(11:12):
they weren't there in the first place.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Right. Yeah, And I think that in basketball did get
a wrong with Senior alluded to during the week by
not fronting at all on this and just sort of
let the rooms swell and just everything got out of control.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's funny how things don't go away you actually stand
up and face them. They tend to dissipate, you know,
all people want to say, sorry, we blew it. Not
all of this. But anyway, long story, let's hope it
doesn't come back to buy this next week.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
It will.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's ten minutes to nine finally, and Jenny Ruby Tioey
out of the Black Ferns for the Pack Force series,
not out altogether for the World Cup. But that's that's
quite a move. Not only here, Chelsea Bremner, Renee Holmes
slashing slashing ily.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Irony for these players because well, my heart didn't break,
but I mean they're professional athletes. They and they had
been on the TV news saying, look, this is what
we want. We want competition, you want people pushing you
for your place. I don't know how much they wanted
to be pushed this far because they're out. And of
(12:21):
course the trouble for these players is they haven't got
that many competitions to earn their way back into the team.
And look, it's not beyond the realms of possibility. But again,
you see women's rugby, you've got the players, a number
of the players seven is coming back into the squad,
which you probably don't have in men's rugby. So look,
(12:44):
I wouldn't put the past any of them getting back in,
but boy, is a sign of good competition in women's rugby.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Now and Graham, there's still got some veterans, some old
school playing, so they've chucked everybody out of it, and
they're fantastic players like Pusha Woodman for example, and they've
got the body of amazing talent that won the World
Cup last time around, really head demand for a start,
Georgia ponts me up the front, and then you've got
the new school coming through. So when it comes to
(13:13):
balance and selection of players. I think Allen's right on it,
and I'm really interested to see what the energy is
like in the next training camp before they make that
final pick for the World Cup. There's some talented Wahana.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Out there, Yeah, absolutely, and they certainly seem to be
stacked in the outside backs and that's really where the
where the main competition sits. I think it makes sense
to give the young klayers a go see how they
go at that level, because you know, he will know
what he's going to get out of Ruby Tuoi, for example,
So it's a good chance to try other people. It's
(13:48):
just the way of the world, and I think that
we should look at it as as a positive thing.
And with the likes of Bricks and Simon McGee coming through,
I mean what a generational talent scene would appear to be.
So you know, give her a chance to give her
a run and see how it goes. But it also
seems that with Pusha Walden and Wick of coming back,
that seems to have been what really sort of squeezed
(14:09):
out Ruby to me, because she's a little bit wall
versatile in terms of where she can play. But yeah,
I think it's promising science and I'm really looking forward
to this World Cup. I don't think they will go
in his favorites, it'll be England, but if they can
match in and up front, I think they've got a
really good chance.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, it would be great. I'm stoked for it. And
that that Braxton Sorenson McGhee. I always try and give
people nicknames. They never stick, but try this one on
for size. The ghost Runner. We're going to play unbelievable. Yeah,
you just can't catch it. Thank you very much, Graham,
sports freak Baslee Jenny Woods for joining us here on
the All Star panel. It is eight point fifty three.

I think he's gone back to Australia now, but he,
you know, instantly a whole raft of new things for
(10:09):
basketball in this country. The rap, you know that when
they get the replacements playing and the.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Look.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
He's been amazing for the sport, no doubt about that,
but he has been involved in a couple of year.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yes, needed the front because I think that you know,
how you judge when something goes wrong is do you front?
And even if you front and say, look we got
this wrong, we're looking into it. My dad or I
don't know, he doesn't need to say that, but anyway,
it's shabby. It's very shabby. And I agree with you
and I think it's disappointing because apparently there was a
(10:43):
women's Indian team about to join the WNBL, so you
know they've just stuffed that, I think for everyone.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And I also, if you remember, just wind it back
a wee bit, there was a Tasmanian team involved. Do
you remember the Tasmanian Huskies. I think that went down
the Google the same way. So yeah, generally fantastic that
there's a couple of things there, flies in the ointment.
You go, just stand up and own it. You open
the door, you let these guys in, just tell us,
because they couldn't cause any trouble in the league if
(11:12):
they weren't there in the first place.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Right. Yeah, And I think that in basketball did get
a wrong with Senior alluded to during the week by
not fronting at all on this and just sort of
let the rooms swell and just everything got out of control.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's funny how things don't go away you actually stand
up and face them. They tend to dissipate, you know,
all people want to say, sorry, we blew it. Not
all of this. But anyway, long story, let's hope it
doesn't come back to buy this next week.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
It will.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's ten minutes to nine finally, and Jenny Ruby Tioey
out of the Black Ferns for the Pack Force series,
not out altogether for the World Cup. But that's that's
quite a move. Not only here, Chelsea Bremner, Renee Holmes
slashing slashing ily.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Irony for these players because well, my heart didn't break,
but I mean they're professional athletes. They and they had
been on the TV news saying, look, this is what
we want. We want competition, you want people pushing you
for your place. I don't know how much they wanted
to be pushed this far because they're out. And of
(12:21):
course the trouble for these players is they haven't got
that many competitions to earn their way back into the team.
And look, it's not beyond the realms of possibility. But again,
you see women's rugby, you've got the players, a number
of the players seven is coming back into the squad,
which you probably don't have in men's rugby. So look,
(12:44):
I wouldn't put the past any of them getting back in,
but boy, is a sign of good competition in women's rugby.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Now and Graham, there's still got some veterans, some old
school playing, so they've chucked everybody out of it, and
they're fantastic players like Pusha Woodman for example, and they've
got the body of amazing talent that won the World
Cup last time around, really head demand for a start,
Georgia ponts me up the front, and then you've got
the new school coming through. So when it comes to
(13:13):
balance and selection of players. I think Allen's right on it,
and I'm really interested to see what the energy is
like in the next training camp before they make that
final pick for the World Cup. There's some talented Wahana.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Out there, Yeah, absolutely, and they certainly seem to be
stacked in the outside backs and that's really where the
where the main competition sits. I think it makes sense
to give the young klayers a go see how they
go at that level, because you know, he will know
what he's going to get out of Ruby Tuoi, for example,
So it's a good chance to try other people. It's
(13:48):
just the way of the world, and I think that
we should look at it as as a positive thing.
And with the likes of Bricks and Simon McGee coming through,
I mean what a generational talent scene would appear to be.
So you know, give her a chance to give her
a run and see how it goes. But it also
seems that with Pusha Walden and Wick of coming back,
that seems to have been what really sort of squeezed
(14:09):
out Ruby to me, because she's a little bit wall
versatile in terms of where she can play. But yeah,
I think it's promising science and I'm really looking forward
to this World Cup. I don't think they will go
in his favorites, it'll be England, but if they can
match in and up front, I think they've got a
really good chance.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, it would be great. I'm stoked for it. And
that that Braxton Sorenson McGhee. I always try and give
people nicknames. They never stick, but try this one on
for size. The ghost Runner. We're going to play unbelievable. Yeah,
you just can't catch it. Thank you very much, Graham,
sports freak Baslee Jenny Woods for joining us here on
the All Star panel. It is eight point fifty three.
