Good afternoon, and welcome to the muster and hakanu he
proudly brought to you by Peterson Nix Andy. You were
here until two o'clock this afternoon thanks to your company
with blue sky and abundance. A bit of a wins
packed up there and studding to see a few furies

that long ago.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Actually regarding these poles, National was sunk to its lowest
result in the Taxpayer's Union Carrier Pole since a Judith
Collins era, down to twenty eight point four percent, So
they're down two point nine points Labor, or they're looking
pretty good at the moment thirty four point four percent,
the Greens ten point five, is Zealand first nine point
(00:56):
seven Act seven point five and the Mallory Party.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Three point two. Or do we just look at these
polls and think we'll hang on.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
The real election is held later on in the years,
not one this far out, so it'll be interesting. They're

situation here.

for the afternoon. Then Terry Collins, fuel spokesperson for the AA.
Terry puts it into perspective. I spoke to him earlier
this morning about what to expect at the pump because
of the political situation in the Middle East, and what
it's going to mean for us down here in the
(02:20):
Deep South. Phil Duncanno weather Watch looks at the weather
in detail for the next seven days down here in
the South. Michelle Watt joins us in the Country Crossover

Against the Sydney Roosters, so that further Ado will start
the yell with Matt Wart. This is the muster until
two o'clock. Che's to Peter's genetics. Matt Water is based
(03:08):
at Morton, Mainz and joins us on this beautiful afternoon
down here in the South. Two days in a roadmap.
Good afternoon, I think we might have got summer finally.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Good to end it? Yet it's no, it's good, isn't it?
Definitely can't complain with a bit of hate. We've been
hanging out for it, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
So how hell's ground conditions there? I suppose?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yeah, No, we're pretty good. Actually, we're pretty well set up. Yeah,
like to be fair, we haven't had too much to
complain about all season. Really, it's just been lost the
We had good growing conditions, but lambs and cattle they've
just needed that but a sun on their backs, I
think more than anything. But we're definitely getting it now.
So yeah, it's pretty.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Good really, So you haven't been too dry there or
too wet. I mean, it sounds a bit silly, but
a lot of places in the province have talked about
moisture deficit.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Yeah, I think we've been pretty good to be fit.
It would have been six weeks ago I suppose we
were Oh, like jeez, I feel bad even saying it,
But for us and Moldern mains, we're probably getting this
dry enough. But it wasn't definitely wasn't hot and dro
It was just cold and cold and windy was sapping
the moisture out. Since then, we've been getting pretty regular
(04:14):
rains and yeah, everything's been growing, not too bad. But
you're getting days like this then makes all the difference.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It just changes the mood.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
It just resonates with what we're saying in the sector
at the moment as well.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Year one hundred and scent. Yeah, like I was saying
to someone the other day, like, you can never get
a perfect season, ken you we were getting good prices
and a good season and good weather, but getting this
good weather this week, like it really is the cherry
on top. As long as it lasts right through the months,
will be pretty well set up for a good autumn too.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Is he much in the way of arable down in
your neck of the woods?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Ummmm, no, no, not really. We get a few, like
got all the tulips around us, but of that piper's produced,
like all the veggies and stuff around us, but no
real arable.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So traditionally just sheep and beef country around there. Bit
of dairy.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Yeah, traditionally sheep and beef country. But now, as far
as I can see, it's all diary. There's what is there, one, two, three,
four of us hanging on sheep and beef and the
rest is all is all dary.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
You say you're hanging on where you can. We attempted
it all to convert back in the day when you're allowed.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yeah, definitely, definitely was conversations around converting. But yeah, the
way it's traditionally sheep and beef. And I'd say, if well,
my grandfather's still around and if he's seen it getting
converted to dairy farming, yeah, might not have gone down
too well. But I always have the opinion like it
would make it perfect like where I am now, Like
(05:42):
would make it perfect dairy farm, but it also makes
a perfect finishing sheep and beef farm. Whilst the prices
are right, you know that we're pretty summer safe and
like we can pump some feed when we need to.
So as long as we're getting paid well for it,
like we are this year, then yeah, that can't really
complain too much.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
So productions pretty much pump pumping year.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
We are, Yeah, we are. Would probably like this is
my fourth summer home, and I'd say it was set
up for the like the best one we've had so far,
which is yeah, yeah, it's good. I'd sort of work
pretty hard for the first couple of years I was here,
getting decent enough genetics and and just changing things a weave.
It hemorrhaging money whilst I was doing it, but I
(06:25):
was sort of hoping that one day it would turn around.
And then you get a year like this year and
you're pretty well set up and it's yeah, it's definitely
paying paying dividends a.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Because Niger would he'd made the observation yesterday that when
he's older and wiser, he's going to look back at
this year as perhaps a watermark moment in his farming career.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, it'd be Yeah, I'd say it's probably a
good shout to be fear Like, I definitely it's going
to be interested in the next few years.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Like it.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I definitely feel like we're at the ceiling now, going
to be very conscious like it was only two years
ago we were at the bottom of the bottom and
now we're at the higher of the whole. But I
sort of hope they've like companies will spread their risk,
aweave it, and we're not gonna go to the lows
of the lows. Like even if we said at one
hundred and eighty dollars lamb, like it's still it's still
good money. Yeah, I just need to keep in the
(07:13):
back of your mind that it's Yeah, it doesn't take
too much to drop away completely. But then again, like
it was quite nice going to the field days here
a couple of weeks ago and actually being able to
look at look at stuff, fire a shot and buy anything.
But compared to two years ago going to the field days,
like I felt bad even looking.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Well, you're tempted to buy something though I may not
just a hot dog either.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
H Yeah, definitely tempted. Definitely tempted. But it's still just
in the back of my mind, like there's yeah, yeah,
I don't want to get in that trap of having
a good year and gone and spending it all on
on stuff that I don't. Well, they're all still nice
to haves, aren't they, Whereas it's keep a bit of
fed in the system for a few years time when
it potentially could turn turn again.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
So you're well above badge it for lambs fair cool.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yes we are. Yeah, that we definitely are, and even
the weights just above where I've sort of budgeted too,
and even the kettle like I've set my first load
of black stairs up to five star last week, and
like they're a head of budget as well and ahead
of white so everything's sort of done, done well, but
I've sort of had to be because buying a black
(08:23):
stair back in on this market's just yeah, wee a
bit scary.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
He's not imagine it, nah, No, I work on I
work on the selling to buying prices my margin, so
there's still there's still a good.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Margin in it this year, but then it's just what
we're selling it for next year. But I think we'll level.
Say I fail, and I thought a round the theory.
I'm not the only one buying and selling black Stairs.
So if we're all in a sinking ship, at least
when at least I'm not going down by myself, at
least he'll be a few of us going down together,
so it won't be too bad.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Well, it's a good year to be a try, remembering
we've still got these spring contracts to be issued.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yes, yes, exactly. It's going to be interested in what
the level was at that A few stall lamb cells
and stuff that have been hitting in recently like that
that crazy money, absolutely crazy money. So yeah, hopefully the
spring contracts come out and the yeah buyers aren't getting
getting pinched to weave it now.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I'll ask you this about Walk because.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I remember not that many months ago, Matte, you were
very cynical about the way the situation was regarding the
fiver here in New Zealand. The change the thinking has changed,
the price has risen up. Have you changed your thinking
at all?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Towards it.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, I am still very positive about well, like I'm
sharing sharing all my us next week, and it's nice
to know that those costs are going to be covered
and some I'm still very conscious that, like I know,
it's a supply and demand thing, and I'm just really
conscious that. H Yeah, as long as it doesn't as
(10:02):
long as I'm just not buying buying up on the
wall just to level the market back out again, I
hope it lasts. But yeah, there's still that wee bit
of me that, yeah, we wee bit conscious of the fact.
But I'll definitely take it. Definitely, we send them a
wall wind to town as soon as it as soon
as it comes off.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
But at the same time, you're looking at changing sharing
routine as far as perhaps going six to eight months
if you're not already, Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Already eight months. I've always been a big believer of
getting the keeping the wall off them and just trying
to keep the quality of wall there. And I've never
really been too worried about the price of war. I've
sort of always done it as a animal health aspect,
especially around my lambs wall and stuff as well. So
it's yeah, I won't be. I'd love to go to
(10:50):
six months, but where we are here it's a wee
bit of a pain trying to get dry use in
that winter. So if I can only offer they need
to do it every second winter getting them dry, then
year it's probably for the best for the meantime.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Anyway, Eden Rugby your manager this year? Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yes? It is. I went down head training last night
and saying that the boys reckon. It's actually more stressful
cooking the barbecue than of its planned. So yeah, yeah,
that was a worry making sure everyone feed well and
the beers are cold, and I rather I'd rather be
making decisions on a field than having to worry about that.
But it's good. It's nice to be able to give back,
(11:31):
and it's nice to be able to catch out with
all the boys, and they seem to be training up
a storm.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So who's Edendale got first pre season game?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
We are close the Valley and Crescent in the next
couple of weeks, so yes, they're not this weekend, but
the weekend after we start kicking into it, and then
must be a week off and then we're into the season.
So it's all just rolled around, rolled around, rather quick.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Really, yeah, rather quickly. Good on you mate, We'll let
you carry on. Always appreciate your time.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yep, no, good man, Andy, thank you very much for that.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Matt Ward farming at Morton, Mainz.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
You're listening to the muster up next Terry Collins from
the AA to put some context around the fuel price
situation and what we can expect over the next while.
Terry Collins is fuel spokesparison for the AA. We spoke
(12:26):
to Terry just after New Year about the ongoing situation
regarding fuel prices, and I thought it was a good idea,
just have a recap given what's gone on with America
invading Iran and the likes, and what flow on effects
we're going to see, especially down here in the South
where had to be fear. We've had a pretty good
price wise. Terry, good afternoon and welcome once again.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Yeah, thank you there are Edie.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well, pretty good.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
It's one thing that's certain at the moment is the
uncertainty around fuel prices. Unfortunately, I mean, everything's just escalated.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
It is once for a text ran Ran as the
producer of about three percent of the world's will, but
that's not really the issue. It's the locations they control
the state of films, which is a little bit wider
than the cook straight so obviously within range of drones
and missiles, et cetera. Should they wish to attack vessels
going through it.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So how concerned should we be with this?
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Well, it's about twenty percent of the world's a will
go through that straight So if you take in twenty
percent of the world's all out. It's the old rule
of supply and demand. Now, as a supply gets limited,
the demand doesn't change and the price goes up. Already
we've seen today it's around eighty four and a half
cents you sorry, eighty four and a half dollars US
a barrel. Our exchange rate's a bit weak right now,
(13:39):
and that's gone up about twelve cent in the last week.
And we know roughly through the dollar that crude oil
goes up. It's about a feat of their pump.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Now, these rumors in Australia or talk anyway of forty
cents per liter rise regarding the fuel price, do you
think they could possible?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
We might even see worse here.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Well, depending on where the bitch sarco see benchmark was
back at sixty us, which was at the beginning of
the year, and a little bit under it and it
gets to a dollar, then yes, forty cents is realistic
because of that rule of one cent for every dollar. Today,
we when I talked about at the beginning of the week,
I didn't see any price pressures that should come through
immediately because remember the oil price we see to day
(14:20):
is for futures in April, so the oil has to
be purchased, refined ship to us. So those price points
will be coming through in the future, not immediately, although
the oil companies will slowly raise the price up to
stop big jumps at any one time, so we will
probably see in the next week or two these prices
slowly going upward.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
How much reserve fulfil Doesn'ty Zealand.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Next year we have twenty eight days we buy the IEO,
of which we remember we supposed to hold ninety days
of reserves, but we don't hold those in the country.
We haven't got enough storage for that, so we hold
roughly twenty eight days, although we've got tickets. It's known
as where there's another we have ninety days where the
storage held for us up in Singapore and areas like that.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
So worst case scenario, are we going to go back
to Carlos stays Dare I say it?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Or is that just? Is that just ridiculous?
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Thinking, no, we won't be doing that, But the government
has always had the legislation there to do it, but
I can't see it been in these circumstances. What will
happen is that we are reconsideration of the supply chain.
There's two tensions that work now. The Israelis and Americans
want to get as more over as quick as possible
and hopefully have raising change. The Uranians want to drag
(15:28):
this out as long as possible and drag as many
of the neighbors and to put pressure on as they can.
And there's also the midterm elections in November in the US,
so they want to have drive inflation up cost of living,
which is a big issue for American voters.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Even if we see a resolution to this conflict, are
we still going to see pain at the pump for
the foreseeable future as a result.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
It's what disruption there is. It's whether they keep attacking
different manufacturing facilities. They attack then all Eenjury plant, the
largest in the world in Qatar, they shut it down
immediately in the use. The price of guests for el
tricity generation doubled, so it can head these significant effects.
It's of what lasting damage is done to the infrastructure
(16:09):
the Americans are offering to open up straight by offering
military protection and by also appears to be some form
of insurance should those officials be attacked. So everything's very
fluid right now, and we'll see where at land We're
not going to run up. It's just going to be
run out of fuel. It's just going to be more
expensive for all.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
So the supply is going to be the just going
to have to pay for it.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
You're just going to have to pay for it. What
it's a gesting of viewers, don't rush, but instead of
going filling half a tank, fill the whole tank cup
because it's not going to be cheaper next week. I
can tell you that.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Last time we spoke and we talked about Gore being
one of the cheaper places in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Ironically enough of fuel.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Mondays and Thursdays are traditionally the cheaper days if you
are going to buy, especially at the South slur of stations.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Yeah, we generally see the national trend being Tuesdays and Tuesdays.
People go out on the weekends, still the boat, do whatever,
a lot of activity. Your companies don't have to for
a discount. Tuesday is a slow day, so we see
discounts on Tuesdays and Tuesdays. Is the other bit of
a slow day that we often see.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Discounting apps like Gaspeed. Do you recommend people use them?
Do you think they're pretty accurate?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
They are without a doubt using the website. If every
driver was to buy the cheapest fuel available in the area,
all it does is as a nation, drives down the
price of that fuel for everybody.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Good on you, Terry, appreciate your time as always, you
enjoy the weekend.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Okay, thanks for with you.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Terry Collins, fuel spokesperson for the AA regarding the fuel situation. So,
like Terry said, we will have fuel on hand. It'll
just come at a cost. Phil Duncan and weather Watch
is up next. You're listening to the Muster, Well, don't
welcome back to the muster at this time for Phil
(17:53):
Duncan of weather Watch. Pel Duncan, good afternoon. Do you
(18:17):
think Alanas Morrisset would be flattered knowing we do this
every week.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
I'm sure she would be. I think that she would
take it as a giant honor that a radio station
in Gore and a small private weather forecast using her
song each and every week. She'll be happy with the royalties.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Absolutely shout out to Atlatas Hey, beautiful day down here
in the.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Deep South was at the start of the week. We
always had the fire going. How are we looking?
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Yeah, it's I mean, yeah, there's no ways to sort
of say it any other way. We are in autumn,
the autumn where the pattern is certainly here for some areas,
it was probably there even in January. And as we
look forward over the next week or two, I basically
see more of autumn's westerlies arriving, and so I think
we're going to be seeing still got some high prescious
(19:09):
zones moving through. So don't get me wrong, We've still
got a number of good, settled, fairly dry days on
the way. And the temperatures actually aren't too bad overall,
but they are really up and down. So like here's
a good example today, you'll be around twenty five degrees today,
similar story tomorrow, really good summer weather. You know, that's
warmer than some of the temperatures you had in summer,
(19:30):
but then Sunday the high is only fifteen. Monday the
high is only fourteen and the overnight low on Monday
is only three. But then by Wednesday next week get
back to twenty one degrees as the maximum and overnight
lows in the double digits. So it is up and down,
up and down now and that's only going to get
more noticeable as we go through this month and going
(19:52):
towards April.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
So that's just awesome. It's come early.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Yeah, I mean it's you know, in some sense, you're
getting some war, warmer days than you've had in a
while coming through. So I'm not sure if it was you.
I was talking to someone else a couple of weeks ago,
but that's something that we can get in March. We
can get a lift in temperatures because the windy westerly
is returned and they push our temperatures up. So, you know,
rather than a calm, cloudy day in Southland with a
(20:18):
light southerly or a light southwesterly blowing through, if you
get a windy western northwesterly, often the sun comes out
and you end up with those temperatures going into the twenties.
So that's why we've got some pretty good weather coming
through over today and tomorrow from a temperature point of view.
And then of course the old Southerly keeps back in
again next week and that's when the temperatures drops, so
(20:39):
it's all over the place with a mix of summer
days and increasingly autumnal days.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Well, we had frosts on Tuesday, on Monday and Tuesday
I think it.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Was Yeah, that's right, and I think we will see
more frost coming up again on Monday night this Monday,
coming up overnight lower three, so I'm pretty sure there'll
be a bit of ice here and there after that, though,
the temperatures are back up again, so it's not looking
overly frosty, but there could be a frost on Monday
(21:10):
night coming up. But apart from that Monday night Tuesday morning,
apart from that, don't really see much in the way
of frosts over the next ten days.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
So there's nothing sinister in the forecast either, so the
harvest boys and girls can get things all tidied up.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
The good thing at the moment is there are high
pressure zones coming into the country.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
And so on.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
Like I said, there's a brief southerly on Sunday, But
the reason why the temperature drops on Monday night down
to three is because you've got high pressure coming in
following southerly, so you know, sunny, sunny weather, clear skies,
excuse me, bringing light winds. And so that states the
forecast next week, high preciure smack bang over to South Island,
(21:49):
and by Wednesday of next week that high is out
over the Channel Islands and that brings down a north
to northwesterly wind, and then again by looks like by
the Friday of next week, Friday the thirty think that's
when we get another proper cold southerly change coming in.
That'll be another one like the one we had at
the start of this week, where it's a proper I
see southerly and the whole country pretty much feels it.
(22:11):
So that's that you know, we're actually going into a
textbook March weather pattern at the moment.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
As far as wind does.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
At a meeting last night, out at why moment at
the field though side and out of nowhere, these huge
guests appeared. Are we got anything to be concerned about?
Or pretty straightforward.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Bit of a brisk northerly wind picking up today north
to northwesterly wind, or we'll pick up a wee bit
around lunchtime. Part from that, No, not really anything too significant.
I think next weekend. If we end up getting this
this wintry sort of southerly next weekend, I think we
can expect it's a southerly flow, but you might get
(22:50):
the strong westerly winds or west of southwesterly winds next weekend.
So that's something to keep an eye on. So apart
from today and maybe a little bit on Sunday, is
that cold front comes in. Really the next next lot
of wind will be next weekend, so no, wind is
not looking like a major problem.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Overall question for you, the term brisk. There's not many
ways in life you can describe this. Or you go
for a brisk walk or a brisk one brisk run. Sorry,
but brisk temperatures certainly an underesting word.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Brisk, because yeah, you're right, because you can use brisk
for the temperature and.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Brisk for the wind.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
It's funny that you just pointed out I've never actually
really thought about that. We use the word brisk a
lot to describe wind speed on our websites. That's because
I don't know. I find brisk to me in my mind,
and tell me if you think I'm wrong. But brisk
to me sounds like a fairly strong wind, but not
(23:46):
necessarily what I would describe as a strong wind. You know,
it's it's it's noticeable, it's annoying, but it's not knocking
trees down. I don't think a brisk wind knocks trees down,
whereas a strong wind does that. That's my mind set. Ye.
It's all subjective though.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
As an underreacing word. It's not like how's your holiday? Oh,
what's bresk?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yes? Right, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
And the other terminal, sorry for the other piece of
terminology here is on your website and when you give
your weather forecast, which is what I use for the mustard. Coincidentally,
you never say the word fine. It's always sunny.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
I don't like the word fine because fine can be
a cloudy day, and that that, to me is is weird.
It's weird to say that. It's actually there's another one
in there that I also that I use sparingly, and
it's a bit like the word bresk, the word fresh.
So the word fresh can describe the temperature, can also
describe the wind speed, and so a fresh a fresh
(24:41):
easterly wind. But I don't like using the word fresh
if it's a warm wind because I think when you
when humans, when we think of the word fresh, most
of us think of it as being like, oh, it's
a good fresh wind. You know, we've got a bit
of a bite to it, a bit of a subtly
in there. Even though the original terminology for the word
is fresh was just a certain, you know, nautical term
(25:02):
for a wind speed, and so it's got different meanings.
You know, it depends on who you talk to. So
I use words depending on how most majority of people
would pick up that word, and so I do use
different terminology. I use the word breezy I think too much,
or I think we're just saying the other day the day.
We need to maybe put the word light in there
more than breezy. But I use breezy because light to
(25:24):
me means I can barely feel the wind, whereas a
little bit breezy is I can just feel a little
bit of a breeze. It's blowing the netkins off the
table when we're sitting outside, right, So light winds may
not do that, but a breezy wind wood so you
can talk about this stuff forever.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Here's a breezy fresh from the Laddas Mors sent from
the mid nineties to see you out today.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Phil DUGGANOATHERWT very very clever, very clever.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Sol lugging and wear the watch up next for show
one and the Country Crossover.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
On.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Michelle right joins us for the Country Crossover this afternoon.
Speaker 9 (26:09):
Good afternoon, Michelle, afternoon, Andy, and what a great song.
We don't have any rain here in Duneda and today
and haven't for the last two days. Hopefully some is
here to stay for the weekend.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
The Golden Chairs as well kicked off once again in Marterton.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
It did on Wednesday, of courses, incorporates the World Championship.
Very exciting for New Zealand to have all those top
shares here and such a top lineup from New Zealand competing.
It'll be a really exciting night. I think it's on
Saturday night, will be the big, big night. But lots
going on up there, and of course we broadcasted live
from that event today, so if you want to catch
up with that podcast, here to the Country and listen
(26:45):
to who we had on the show from the Golden
Shares with Jamie.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Have you ever been Have you ever done a day
in a woolshed?
Speaker 9 (26:51):
No, I've never done a day in a wallshed. It's
one of my goals in life. I think I spoke
to you about this off air, Andy and I might
be opening up Hannah worms here for this. But as
a sport, it's something that really intrigues me. You know
that I like to do endurance sports that really push
myself to my limit, and I feel like talking about
speed sharing, hearing about it from people, it's something that
(27:12):
would really push me to my limit, and it's something
I think I want to give a goye.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
We're just not that but just hopping into an out
of a vanguard all day, pressing the corners. Just don't
press the pins. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Yeah, I would love to ever go on the old
wall Press. I think the most that I'd probably be
trusted was sweeping up the dag though when it comes
to anything in the sheds.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Hey are you interesting coming out this morning? As well?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
This poll not favorable for lux and or National. Is
there more to this or is it just scam angering
by certain sections of the media.
Speaker 9 (27:43):
It's interesting, isn't It's been a hard couple of weeks
in politics really in general, probably around the world really.
I mean you don't have to look at UK with
Kiir Starmer, what's going on over there with his side
of things. So a lot of politicians struggling with this
type of thing around the world just because of how
things are going the moment. It's hard to say, really.
(28:03):
I think poles you kind of take, for me, taken
with a grain of salt in some ways, look at them,
read into them. It does give a feel for the
nation and how some people are feeling about things. But
if you look at what's going on in the world
at the moment, what's been happening in New Zealand, especially
economically with people doing it's still tough with the cost
of living, you can see why the results might be
(28:23):
the way they are. If people are unhappy, of course
it's going to dip down.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Do you see any positives regarding this world's situation and
New Zealand exports at the moment?
Speaker 9 (28:32):
Oh, it's hard to say, isn't it, As it's such
an uncertain time around the world at the moment with
everything going on, and and I think it's going to
be tough maybe for the next see while and very uncertain.
It's hard to say. I can't really look into a
crystal ball and give an answer with that, but you know,
look at the great things that are going on at
the moment. We had a fantastic GDT result this week
(28:52):
as well, which was I don't know if that was
unexpected or not. With the way things are going in
the world, our red meat prices are still going really well,
so you've just got to hang onto those positives.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Well, there's been a lot of positives at the moment,
and I think we just need to celebrate these wins
when they occur because they don't happen all that often,
and this season just seems to provided absolutely.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
I mean, I'm a half glass full person, Andy, you
know that about me, and I think sometimes you've just
got to take how things are going as they are
and think, right, things are going actually pretty well for
me right now. I'm going to hang onto this and
just live in this moment for now, especially with the
way things are going, with the uncertainty around the world.
Not thinking ahead too much is probably a good way
(29:33):
to tackle it. But yeah, I think there's a lot
of positives. The only sector that's really struggling is probably arable,
but they've been struggling for quite a while. I was
up in Canterbury actually a week ago. Things looking very
green up there, but they've had a lot of wheat
and struggling with obviously harvest and things like that. But
they've been struggling with quite a bit of stuff for
a while and their sector. So it'll be about watching
(29:55):
this space, I think.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
With that, it's been an interesting season for a lot
of people getting their harvests in the paddock and you've
got a window of opportunity. It's like making hay. A
few people making getting the hay cat at the moment.
Traditionally late January is when you've got a true weather pattern,
but just it just hasn't existed, and like Phil don't
Can said before, mishell, we're just going into autumn. So
you've got a brace for.
Speaker 9 (30:16):
It, absolutely, but it still doesn't help those arable farmers
and how they're doing it tough. And the thing with
arable farming too and is that they're reliant on that
one crop. If we have bad weather. If you've got
sheep and dairy cows and things like that, you have
one store and one bad block of weather. It's not great.
You know, things are bad. I'm not going to downplay
(30:37):
that at all. But for arable farming, they can lose
a whole crop, you know, in that one go and
not be able to grow it back. So it's it's
quite serious for them where they're very reliant on the
weather and the climate. But they're also very resilient when
you talk to them as well. There's some great people
in that arable sector.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I think you're just talking farming in a nutshell there.
Look the black Caps they're in the final against India.
T twenty love it, I hate it. Tea twenty. You
can sit on the fence. You don't remember a result
after the game's play. That's a nature of the beast.
But for the black Caps to make this final in
a monetary sense and pound four pound all that REDT
tricky hear about. Yes it's true, but I think it's
(31:13):
time for us to lift the trophy.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
Oh I love T twenty Andy. I don't care what
people think of me for saying that, but T twenty
cricket is just so exciting. Of course, I spoke to
you at the end of last year when the Ashes
were on and I was starting to get into Test
cricket and learning about the Ashes and getting very excited
about that once I got into the whole game of
it and how it works. But T twenty is such
a great game, and New Zealand is very good at well,
(31:37):
we're doing very well obviously at the moment we made
it into the finals. Of course, I think India won't
they be the first team to retain the trophy in
the first to win it on home soil if they
do beat New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah, but let's put this into context. T twenty World.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Cups are how just about every two years, so it's
not like it's a phenomenon for it to happen. And
the BCCI you've got Australia, India and England who rule
the cricket. England escape with their money, right, and for
India to win this game, well, if they were to
lose this game, it wouldn't be a big big deal
because that's not the red trick they roll with at
the BCCI.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
It's all about India.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it. Because teest cracket. We've spoken
about this before too. There's only really a few nations
that really are able to play, that play it well
and dominate in it. The rest are all focused on
T twenty. So it's an interesting world when you've got
a team that can play both. And yeah, there's a
lot of money tied up in cracket, a lot. I
don't think people realize. We think here in New Zealand
(32:34):
we're very isolated. It's all very much about rugby and
the All Blacks. But I'll tell you what, cricket, there's
a lot of money tied up in that overseas.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Good on you, Michelle.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Hopefully next time we chat the black Caps will be
T twenty World champions. Coincidentally, as well, the sharing she
had mixed, the muster sharing she had mixed.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I did this a couple of years ago. It is
on my heart radio.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
So do yourself as a favor and go and listen
this weekend and you enjoy the weekend.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
You too.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
Andy.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
In the Country Crossover, our resident Sporting Gury Nathan Burdon
joins us next had a beautiful inbicargo on. Nathan Burdon
is our residents Sporting Gury down here in the South
and joins US weekly.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Nathan, Good afternoon. It's a Southern stunner.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah, It's an absolute rapper, isn't it. And I'm just
reflecting on Obviously, we're based here at Ilt Stadium, South
And and we've got the New Zealand Track Cycling Championships
have been happening here this week. We've got a whole
lot of people streaming in as we speak, signing up
and picking up their race numbers for the Wensleys Cycles
Surf the city, and we've got as I speak, we've
(33:42):
got the Southern Steeler going about their preseason and training
on court one. So she's all happening here.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
You'll be as well qualified to comment on this as anybody.
Steve Broad the other day saying to the MBCABO Council
we're not doing enough to attract major events down here.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Would you agree?
Speaker 1 (33:58):
I'd agree one hundred percent, maybe one hundred and ten
percent actually, But until you put some resource and some
and some strategy into that, then then nothing's really going
to happen. And to and to be honest, and I
know it costs money, and it's and it's you know,
someone's got to someone's got to pay for these sorts
of things to happen. But to me, those events, you know,
(34:20):
they add so much vibrancy. There's economic impacts. They are
a reason for living here. So I think events are
a key part for any province. And if we decide
to sit back, then you know we're never going to
get anywhere.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
In interesting saf talking in the Tribune the other day
about Mana Pacifica playing the Chiefs and of the Cargo
because they can't go over the tongue.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
That would have been a great coupe.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, And you know, all of these games they create
economic movement, but there does need to be some sort
of strategy. Someone needs to drive it, and it probably
needs a bit of a regional approach. And I guess
probably the question is we are we big enough and
mature enough that as a province we can have a
regional approach, get in the room together and have a
(35:05):
conversation about what's best for not just in the Cargo
and not just any of the other centers, but what's
best for the province.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
The Highlanders have got the force at home tomorrow. You
could argue this is a must win game in round four,
round four.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Year, and it's I guess that's the lot for a
team like the Highlanders. They've shown lots of good signs
already this season, don't they. But unless they get the
dub against some of these other teams, then they're just
going to be no chance of making the playoffs. And
saying that, I was pretty impressed with the Force last week.
They looked like a really good, bright attacking team. So
(35:40):
I'll be probably relishing the chance to get under the
roof and really throw the ball around.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Yeah, George Bridge, he was looking really.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Good, wasn't he. It'd sort of you I'd completely forgotten
about George Bridge, maybe one of the forgotten men of
New Zealand rugby, but he had one flufter's lines during
that game. But see, apart from that, he looked absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
It's just good to see the aussy teams leading the table,
and let's be honest, from the perspective of the competition
not just being one way traffic with the Crusaders at
the top.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah, at the stage anyway.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
One of the things you get with those assie teams
is that they play different styles, which is something I
think that we've probably been critical of New Zealand franchises
who they almost seem to be a little bit much
of a muchness. But the Aussie teams. You look at
the Brumbies who obviously place their game a lot around
the set piece. If anything, you could call them a
(36:36):
bit boring. But see they're effective. You've got the force
obviously if you're attacking team, so you know they've got
these these teams that actually bring some different styles to
the fight.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Now, the black Caps, this is a massive, massive game
in the T twenty landscape, with the cracketing landscape, up against.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
The might of India.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
This is five point five million people up against the
nation of one point four billion. New Zealand is what
they refer to as a village in India. That's how
small we are. This is the size of the fight.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Yeah, it just doesn't get any bigger and it doesn't
get any more exciting, does it? A final against India
in India, And to be honest, I just don't think
we've got anything to lose. You know, We've we obviously
we've we've struggled when we've been able to get through
to the to the big dance on a number of occasions.
But in this case, the Mount Everest is right there.
(37:24):
I think the black Caps can play with all the
freedom in the world because no one outside of the
diehard supporters will be expecting them to win, and so
they can just go out there and give it an
absolute black which is absolutely what Finn Allen did against
South Africa and look how that came out.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
The best thing that happened to the black Caps is
organizing this fives game T twenty series before the tournament.
It's come back and paid off in dividends.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yeah, obviously we know, we know the conditions. We know
the Indian team very well, as some of the honors
were shared in that preseason sort of head out between
those two teams.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, as the players know each other really well, don't they.
I think there was some concern that when we got
through to the seuper eight that we were going to
struggle going over to Sri Lanka and not having as
much experience over there. But they've been able to do
a job and get themselves and they've got themselves in
the fight, haven't they. So you know it's going to
be pretty exciting come Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
I mean, realistically, the days of wedding, the ODO well,
the ODI crack it sadly is just falling off the landscape.
It still does exist, but nothing like it used to be.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
And they talk.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
About T twenty being the revenue gatherer that it is,
especially for the Big three Australia, England and India and
for us to progress to where we are, I think
we've got the world chairing for us.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah. Well, calendar wise we're very much in the shadow
of the IPL, aren't. We absolutely kick off really shortly,
so I think this tournament has probably struggled a little
bit to get momentum and get attention. You'd have to
say the ICC have probably you know, done some good
things in terms of trying to broaden the game with
(39:06):
having some of the smaller nations involved, but that's probably
it's probably taken a bit of time for to get going.
But having the home team playing a final, playing in
the final will go a long way to really getting
some attention around this at the sharp end of the tournament.
It's great that New Zealander there as well.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Yeah, we'll know the result there Monday morning, probably around
five five thirty am. And as well the New Zealand
Warriors up the wars they're back on the Nround Merry
Go Round starting this evening against Sydney Roosters.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
This has come around pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yeah, it has come round pretty quickly. Actual. I was
doing my picks this morning, I said, yeah, the Warriors
have got It's a tough game, fast up, isn't it.
But yeah, it's you know, maybe it's the year, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Now if I make the eight that were doing well,
I'm just putting it out there straight off the cuff.
I like the thing to do better. But it all
relates to Luke Metcar firing at five eight.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, yep, it's not a bad call.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
So we'll see how that pans out.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
And then you see Melbourne last night putting fifty points
off on power matter. But it's just good to be
I don't know. This timing year is awesome. You've got
the Cracket, You've got a bit of geez, a bit
of squash happening as well, Paul Cole playing in christ
Church in the New Zealand Open. But then you've got
the Union going on the crack at the intertwining of
the seasons. It just it just doesn't happen on the
telly though. It happens for the local club competition.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah. I like the way that you know, the mr
else starting puts a wee bit a heat on Super
Rugby too, doesn't it. The two products don't necessarily Yeah,
let's just say unless Super Rugby is absolutely firing, the
product doesn't necessarily look as good compete with the NRL.
So we need some We need some good Rugby to
be happening as well, otherwise it can be a can
(40:47):
get a bit too easy to switch channels.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Good only Nath, happy golfing this weekend.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Thanks mate.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Before we wrap up, we do catch up with Nathan Aberneath.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
It's got the bull bars on the front of it

truck and as system the throes of being prepared. This
truck forty one nine and ninety drives you away, and
that it's still actually under its new vehicle warranty at
the moment.
Speaker 5 (41:35):

that long ago.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Actually regarding these poles, National was sunk to its lowest
result in the Taxpayer's Union Carrier Pole since a Judith
Collins era, down to twenty eight point four percent, So
they're down two point nine points Labor, or they're looking
pretty good at the moment thirty four point four percent,
the Greens ten point five, is Zealand first nine point
(00:56):
seven Act seven point five and the Mallory Party.

polls and think we'll hang on.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
The real election is held later on in the years,

down here in the South. Two days in a roadmap.
Good afternoon, I think we might have got summer finally.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Good to end it? Yet it's no, it's good, isn't it?
Definitely can't complain with a bit of hate. We've been
hanging out for it, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
So how hell's ground conditions there? I suppose?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yeah, No, we're pretty good. Actually, we're pretty well set up. Yeah,
like to be fair, we haven't had too much to
complain about all season. Really, it's just been lost the
We had good growing conditions, but lambs and cattle they've
just needed that but a sun on their backs, I
think more than anything. But we're definitely getting it now.
So yeah, it's pretty.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Good really, So you haven't been too dry there or
too wet. I mean, it sounds a bit silly, but
a lot of places in the province have talked about
moisture deficit.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Yeah, I think we've been pretty good to be fit.
It would have been six weeks ago I suppose we
were Oh, like jeez, I feel bad even saying it,
But for us and Moldern mains, we're probably getting this
dry enough. But it wasn't definitely wasn't hot and dro
It was just cold and cold and windy was sapping
the moisture out. Since then, we've been getting pretty regular
(04:14):
rains and yeah, everything's been growing, not too bad. But
you're getting days like this then makes all the difference.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It just changes the mood.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
It just resonates with what we're saying in the sector
at the moment as well.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Year one hundred and scent. Yeah, like I was saying
to someone the other day, like, you can never get
a perfect season, ken you we were getting good prices
and a good season and good weather, but getting this
good weather this week, like it really is the cherry
on top. As long as it lasts right through the months,
will be pretty well set up for a good autumn too.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Is he much in the way of arable down in
your neck of the woods?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Ummmm, no, no, not really. We get a few, like
got all the tulips around us, but of that piper's produced,
like all the veggies and stuff around us, but no
real arable.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So traditionally just sheep and beef country around there. Bit
of dairy.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Yeah, traditionally sheep and beef country. But now, as far
as I can see, it's all diary. There's what is there, one, two, three,
four of us hanging on sheep and beef and the
rest is all is all dary.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
You say you're hanging on where you can. We attempted
it all to convert back in the day when you're allowed.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yeah, definitely, definitely was conversations around converting. But yeah, the
way it's traditionally sheep and beef. And I'd say, if well,
my grandfather's still around and if he's seen it getting
converted to dairy farming, yeah, might not have gone down
too well. But I always have the opinion like it
would make it perfect like where I am now, Like
(05:42):
would make it perfect dairy farm, but it also makes
a perfect finishing sheep and beef farm. Whilst the prices
are right, you know that we're pretty summer safe and
like we can pump some feed when we need to.
So as long as we're getting paid well for it,
like we are this year, then yeah, that can't really
complain too much.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
So productions pretty much pump pumping year.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
We are, Yeah, we are. Would probably like this is
my fourth summer home, and I'd say it was set
up for the like the best one we've had so far,
which is yeah, yeah, it's good. I'd sort of work
pretty hard for the first couple of years I was here,
getting decent enough genetics and and just changing things a weave.
It hemorrhaging money whilst I was doing it, but I
(06:25):
was sort of hoping that one day it would turn around.
And then you get a year like this year and
you're pretty well set up and it's yeah, it's definitely
paying paying dividends a.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Because Niger would he'd made the observation yesterday that when
he's older and wiser, he's going to look back at
this year as perhaps a watermark moment in his farming career.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, it'd be Yeah, I'd say it's probably a
good shout to be fear Like, I definitely it's going
to be interested in the next few years.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Like it.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I definitely feel like we're at the ceiling now, going
to be very conscious like it was only two years
ago we were at the bottom of the bottom and
now we're at the higher of the whole. But I
sort of hope they've like companies will spread their risk,
aweave it, and we're not gonna go to the lows
of the lows. Like even if we said at one
hundred and eighty dollars lamb, like it's still it's still
good money. Yeah, I just need to keep in the
(07:13):
back of your mind that it's Yeah, it doesn't take
too much to drop away completely. But then again, like
it was quite nice going to the field days here
a couple of weeks ago and actually being able to
look at look at stuff, fire a shot and buy anything.
But compared to two years ago going to the field days,
like I felt bad even looking.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Well, you're tempted to buy something though I may not
just a hot dog either.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
H Yeah, definitely tempted. Definitely tempted. But it's still just
in the back of my mind, like there's yeah, yeah,
I don't want to get in that trap of having
a good year and gone and spending it all on
on stuff that I don't. Well, they're all still nice
to haves, aren't they, Whereas it's keep a bit of
fed in the system for a few years time when
it potentially could turn turn again.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
So you're well above badge it for lambs fair cool.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yes we are. Yeah, that we definitely are, and even
the weights just above where I've sort of budgeted too,
and even the kettle like I've set my first load
of black stairs up to five star last week, and
like they're a head of budget as well and ahead
of white so everything's sort of done, done well, but
I've sort of had to be because buying a black
(08:23):
stair back in on this market's just yeah, wee a
bit scary.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
He's not imagine it, nah, No, I work on I
work on the selling to buying prices my margin, so
there's still there's still a good.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Margin in it this year, but then it's just what
we're selling it for next year. But I think we'll level.
Say I fail, and I thought a round the theory.
I'm not the only one buying and selling black Stairs.
So if we're all in a sinking ship, at least
when at least I'm not going down by myself, at
least he'll be a few of us going down together,
so it won't be too bad.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Well, it's a good year to be a try, remembering
we've still got these spring contracts to be issued.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yes, yes, exactly. It's going to be interested in what
the level was at that A few stall lamb cells
and stuff that have been hitting in recently like that
that crazy money, absolutely crazy money. So yeah, hopefully the
spring contracts come out and the yeah buyers aren't getting
getting pinched to weave it now.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I'll ask you this about Walk because.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I remember not that many months ago, Matte, you were
very cynical about the way the situation was regarding the
fiver here in New Zealand. The change the thinking has changed,
the price has risen up. Have you changed your thinking
at all?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Towards it.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, I am still very positive about well, like I'm
sharing sharing all my us next week, and it's nice
to know that those costs are going to be covered
and some I'm still very conscious that, like I know,
it's a supply and demand thing, and I'm just really
conscious that. H Yeah, as long as it doesn't as
(10:02):
long as I'm just not buying buying up on the
wall just to level the market back out again, I
hope it lasts. But yeah, there's still that wee bit
of me that, yeah, we wee bit conscious of the fact.
But I'll definitely take it. Definitely, we send them a
wall wind to town as soon as it as soon
as it comes off.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
But at the same time, you're looking at changing sharing
routine as far as perhaps going six to eight months
if you're not already, Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Already eight months. I've always been a big believer of
getting the keeping the wall off them and just trying
to keep the quality of wall there. And I've never
really been too worried about the price of war. I've
sort of always done it as a animal health aspect,
especially around my lambs wall and stuff as well. So
it's yeah, I won't be. I'd love to go to
(10:50):
six months, but where we are here it's a wee
bit of a pain trying to get dry use in
that winter. So if I can only offer they need
to do it every second winter getting them dry, then
year it's probably for the best for the meantime.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Anyway, Eden Rugby your manager this year? Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yes? It is. I went down head training last night
and saying that the boys reckon. It's actually more stressful
cooking the barbecue than of its planned. So yeah, yeah,
that was a worry making sure everyone feed well and
the beers are cold, and I rather I'd rather be
making decisions on a field than having to worry about that.
But it's good. It's nice to be able to give back,
(11:31):
and it's nice to be able to catch out with
all the boys, and they seem to be training up
a storm.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So who's Edendale got first pre season game?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
We are close the Valley and Crescent in the next
couple of weeks, so yes, they're not this weekend, but
the weekend after we start kicking into it, and then
must be a week off and then we're into the season.
So it's all just rolled around, rolled around, rather quick.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Really, yeah, rather quickly. Good on you mate, We'll let
you carry on. Always appreciate your time.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yep, no, good man, Andy, thank you very much for that.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Matt Ward farming at Morton, Mainz.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
You're listening to the muster up next Terry Collins from
the AA to put some context around the fuel price
situation and what we can expect over the next while.
Terry Collins is fuel spokesparison for the AA. We spoke
(12:26):
to Terry just after New Year about the ongoing situation
regarding fuel prices, and I thought it was a good idea,
just have a recap given what's gone on with America
invading Iran and the likes, and what flow on effects
we're going to see, especially down here in the South
where had to be fear. We've had a pretty good
price wise. Terry, good afternoon and welcome once again.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Yeah, thank you there are Edie.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well, pretty good.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
It's one thing that's certain at the moment is the
uncertainty around fuel prices. Unfortunately, I mean, everything's just escalated.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
It is once for a text ran Ran as the
producer of about three percent of the world's will, but
that's not really the issue. It's the locations they control
the state of films, which is a little bit wider
than the cook straight so obviously within range of drones
and missiles, et cetera. Should they wish to attack vessels
going through it.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So how concerned should we be with this?
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Well, it's about twenty percent of the world's a will
go through that straight So if you take in twenty
percent of the world's all out. It's the old rule
of supply and demand. Now, as a supply gets limited,
the demand doesn't change and the price goes up. Already
we've seen today it's around eighty four and a half
cents you sorry, eighty four and a half dollars US
a barrel. Our exchange rate's a bit weak right now,
(13:39):
and that's gone up about twelve cent in the last week.
And we know roughly through the dollar that crude oil
goes up. It's about a feat of their pump.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Now, these rumors in Australia or talk anyway of forty
cents per liter rise regarding the fuel price, do you
think they could possible?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
We might even see worse here.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Well, depending on where the bitch sarco see benchmark was
back at sixty us, which was at the beginning of
the year, and a little bit under it and it
gets to a dollar, then yes, forty cents is realistic
because of that rule of one cent for every dollar. Today,
we when I talked about at the beginning of the week,
I didn't see any price pressures that should come through
immediately because remember the oil price we see to day
(14:20):
is for futures in April, so the oil has to
be purchased, refined ship to us. So those price points
will be coming through in the future, not immediately, although
the oil companies will slowly raise the price up to
stop big jumps at any one time, so we will
probably see in the next week or two these prices
slowly going upward.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
How much reserve fulfil Doesn'ty Zealand.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Next year we have twenty eight days we buy the IEO,
of which we remember we supposed to hold ninety days
of reserves, but we don't hold those in the country.
We haven't got enough storage for that, so we hold
roughly twenty eight days, although we've got tickets. It's known
as where there's another we have ninety days where the
storage held for us up in Singapore and areas like that.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
So worst case scenario, are we going to go back
to Carlos stays Dare I say it?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Or is that just? Is that just ridiculous?
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Thinking, no, we won't be doing that, But the government
has always had the legislation there to do it, but
I can't see it been in these circumstances. What will
happen is that we are reconsideration of the supply chain.
There's two tensions that work now. The Israelis and Americans
want to get as more over as quick as possible
and hopefully have raising change. The Uranians want to drag
(15:28):
this out as long as possible and drag as many
of the neighbors and to put pressure on as they can.
And there's also the midterm elections in November in the US,
so they want to have drive inflation up cost of living,
which is a big issue for American voters.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Even if we see a resolution to this conflict, are
we still going to see pain at the pump for
the foreseeable future as a result.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
It's what disruption there is. It's whether they keep attacking
different manufacturing facilities. They attack then all Eenjury plant, the
largest in the world in Qatar, they shut it down
immediately in the use. The price of guests for el
tricity generation doubled, so it can head these significant effects.
It's of what lasting damage is done to the infrastructure
(16:09):
the Americans are offering to open up straight by offering
military protection and by also appears to be some form
of insurance should those officials be attacked. So everything's very
fluid right now, and we'll see where at land We're
not going to run up. It's just going to be
run out of fuel. It's just going to be more
expensive for all.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
So the supply is going to be the just going
to have to pay for it.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
You're just going to have to pay for it. What
it's a gesting of viewers, don't rush, but instead of
going filling half a tank, fill the whole tank cup
because it's not going to be cheaper next week. I
can tell you that.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Last time we spoke and we talked about Gore being
one of the cheaper places in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Ironically enough of fuel.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Mondays and Thursdays are traditionally the cheaper days if you
are going to buy, especially at the South slur of stations.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Yeah, we generally see the national trend being Tuesdays and Tuesdays.
People go out on the weekends, still the boat, do whatever,
a lot of activity. Your companies don't have to for
a discount. Tuesday is a slow day, so we see
discounts on Tuesdays and Tuesdays. Is the other bit of
a slow day that we often see.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Discounting apps like Gaspeed. Do you recommend people use them?
Do you think they're pretty accurate?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
They are without a doubt using the website. If every
driver was to buy the cheapest fuel available in the area,
all it does is as a nation, drives down the
price of that fuel for everybody.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Good on you, Terry, appreciate your time as always, you
enjoy the weekend.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Okay, thanks for with you.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Terry Collins, fuel spokesperson for the AA regarding the fuel situation. So,
like Terry said, we will have fuel on hand. It'll
just come at a cost. Phil Duncan and weather Watch
is up next. You're listening to the Muster, Well, don't
welcome back to the muster at this time for Phil
(17:53):
Duncan of weather Watch. Pel Duncan, good afternoon. Do you
(18:17):
think Alanas Morrisset would be flattered knowing we do this
every week.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
I'm sure she would be. I think that she would
take it as a giant honor that a radio station
in Gore and a small private weather forecast using her
song each and every week. She'll be happy with the royalties.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Absolutely shout out to Atlatas Hey, beautiful day down here
in the.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Deep South was at the start of the week. We
always had the fire going. How are we looking?
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Yeah, it's I mean, yeah, there's no ways to sort
of say it any other way. We are in autumn,
the autumn where the pattern is certainly here for some areas,
it was probably there even in January. And as we
look forward over the next week or two, I basically
see more of autumn's westerlies arriving, and so I think
we're going to be seeing still got some high prescious
(19:09):
zones moving through. So don't get me wrong, We've still
got a number of good, settled, fairly dry days on
the way. And the temperatures actually aren't too bad overall,
but they are really up and down. So like here's
a good example today, you'll be around twenty five degrees today,
similar story tomorrow, really good summer weather. You know, that's
warmer than some of the temperatures you had in summer,
(19:30):
but then Sunday the high is only fifteen. Monday the
high is only fourteen and the overnight low on Monday
is only three. But then by Wednesday next week get
back to twenty one degrees as the maximum and overnight
lows in the double digits. So it is up and down,
up and down now and that's only going to get
more noticeable as we go through this month and going
(19:52):
towards April.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
So that's just awesome. It's come early.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Yeah, I mean it's you know, in some sense, you're
getting some war, warmer days than you've had in a
while coming through. So I'm not sure if it was you.
I was talking to someone else a couple of weeks ago,
but that's something that we can get in March. We
can get a lift in temperatures because the windy westerly
is returned and they push our temperatures up. So, you know,
rather than a calm, cloudy day in Southland with a
(20:18):
light southerly or a light southwesterly blowing through, if you
get a windy western northwesterly, often the sun comes out
and you end up with those temperatures going into the twenties.
So that's why we've got some pretty good weather coming
through over today and tomorrow from a temperature point of view.
And then of course the old Southerly keeps back in
again next week and that's when the temperatures drops, so
(20:39):
it's all over the place with a mix of summer
days and increasingly autumnal days.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Well, we had frosts on Tuesday, on Monday and Tuesday
I think it.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Was Yeah, that's right, and I think we will see
more frost coming up again on Monday night this Monday,
coming up overnight lower three, so I'm pretty sure there'll
be a bit of ice here and there after that, though,
the temperatures are back up again, so it's not looking
overly frosty, but there could be a frost on Monday
(21:10):
night coming up. But apart from that Monday night Tuesday morning,
apart from that, don't really see much in the way
of frosts over the next ten days.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
So there's nothing sinister in the forecast either, so the
harvest boys and girls can get things all tidied up.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
The good thing at the moment is there are high
pressure zones coming into the country.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
And so on.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
Like I said, there's a brief southerly on Sunday, But
the reason why the temperature drops on Monday night down
to three is because you've got high pressure coming in
following southerly, so you know, sunny, sunny weather, clear skies,
excuse me, bringing light winds. And so that states the
forecast next week, high preciure smack bang over to South Island,
(21:49):
and by Wednesday of next week that high is out
over the Channel Islands and that brings down a north
to northwesterly wind, and then again by looks like by
the Friday of next week, Friday the thirty think that's
when we get another proper cold southerly change coming in.
That'll be another one like the one we had at
the start of this week, where it's a proper I
see southerly and the whole country pretty much feels it.
(22:11):
So that's that you know, we're actually going into a
textbook March weather pattern at the moment.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
As far as wind does.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
At a meeting last night, out at why moment at
the field though side and out of nowhere, these huge
guests appeared. Are we got anything to be concerned about?
Or pretty straightforward.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Bit of a brisk northerly wind picking up today north
to northwesterly wind, or we'll pick up a wee bit
around lunchtime. Part from that, No, not really anything too significant.
I think next weekend. If we end up getting this
this wintry sort of southerly next weekend, I think we
can expect it's a southerly flow, but you might get
(22:50):
the strong westerly winds or west of southwesterly winds next weekend.
So that's something to keep an eye on. So apart
from today and maybe a little bit on Sunday, is
that cold front comes in. Really the next next lot
of wind will be next weekend, so no, wind is
not looking like a major problem.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Overall question for you, the term brisk. There's not many
ways in life you can describe this. Or you go
for a brisk walk or a brisk one brisk run. Sorry,
but brisk temperatures certainly an underesting word.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
Brisk, because yeah, you're right, because you can use brisk
for the temperature and.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Brisk for the wind.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
It's funny that you just pointed out I've never actually
really thought about that. We use the word brisk a
lot to describe wind speed on our websites. That's because
I don't know. I find brisk to me in my mind,
and tell me if you think I'm wrong. But brisk
to me sounds like a fairly strong wind, but not
(23:46):
necessarily what I would describe as a strong wind. You know,
it's it's it's noticeable, it's annoying, but it's not knocking
trees down. I don't think a brisk wind knocks trees down,
whereas a strong wind does that. That's my mind set. Ye.
It's all subjective though.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
As an underreacing word. It's not like how's your holiday? Oh,
what's bresk?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yes? Right, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
And the other terminal, sorry for the other piece of
terminology here is on your website and when you give
your weather forecast, which is what I use for the mustard. Coincidentally,
you never say the word fine. It's always sunny.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
I don't like the word fine because fine can be
a cloudy day, and that that, to me is is weird.
It's weird to say that. It's actually there's another one
in there that I also that I use sparingly, and
it's a bit like the word bresk, the word fresh.
So the word fresh can describe the temperature, can also
describe the wind speed, and so a fresh a fresh
(24:41):
easterly wind. But I don't like using the word fresh
if it's a warm wind because I think when you
when humans, when we think of the word fresh, most
of us think of it as being like, oh, it's
a good fresh wind. You know, we've got a bit
of a bite to it, a bit of a subtly
in there. Even though the original terminology for the word
is fresh was just a certain, you know, nautical term
(25:02):
for a wind speed, and so it's got different meanings.
You know, it depends on who you talk to. So
I use words depending on how most majority of people
would pick up that word, and so I do use
different terminology. I use the word breezy I think too much,
or I think we're just saying the other day the day.
We need to maybe put the word light in there
more than breezy. But I use breezy because light to
(25:24):
me means I can barely feel the wind, whereas a
little bit breezy is I can just feel a little
bit of a breeze. It's blowing the netkins off the
table when we're sitting outside, right, So light winds may
not do that, but a breezy wind wood so you
can talk about this stuff forever.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Here's a breezy fresh from the Laddas Mors sent from
the mid nineties to see you out today.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Phil DUGGANOATHERWT very very clever, very clever.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Sol lugging and wear the watch up next for show
one and the Country Crossover.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
On.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Michelle right joins us for the Country Crossover this afternoon.
Speaker 9 (26:09):
Good afternoon, Michelle, afternoon, Andy, and what a great song.
We don't have any rain here in Duneda and today
and haven't for the last two days. Hopefully some is
here to stay for the weekend.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
The Golden Chairs as well kicked off once again in Marterton.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
It did on Wednesday, of courses, incorporates the World Championship.
Very exciting for New Zealand to have all those top
shares here and such a top lineup from New Zealand competing.
It'll be a really exciting night. I think it's on
Saturday night, will be the big, big night. But lots
going on up there, and of course we broadcasted live
from that event today, so if you want to catch
up with that podcast, here to the Country and listen
(26:45):
to who we had on the show from the Golden
Shares with Jamie.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Have you ever been Have you ever done a day
in a woolshed?
Speaker 9 (26:51):
No, I've never done a day in a wallshed. It's
one of my goals in life. I think I spoke
to you about this off air, Andy and I might
be opening up Hannah worms here for this. But as
a sport, it's something that really intrigues me. You know
that I like to do endurance sports that really push
myself to my limit, and I feel like talking about
speed sharing, hearing about it from people, it's something that
(27:12):
would really push me to my limit, and it's something
I think I want to give a goye.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
We're just not that but just hopping into an out
of a vanguard all day, pressing the corners. Just don't
press the pins. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Yeah, I would love to ever go on the old
wall Press. I think the most that I'd probably be
trusted was sweeping up the dag though when it comes
to anything in the sheds.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Hey are you interesting coming out this morning? As well?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
This poll not favorable for lux and or National. Is
there more to this or is it just scam angering
by certain sections of the media.
Speaker 9 (27:43):
It's interesting, isn't It's been a hard couple of weeks
in politics really in general, probably around the world really.
I mean you don't have to look at UK with
Kiir Starmer, what's going on over there with his side
of things. So a lot of politicians struggling with this
type of thing around the world just because of how
things are going the moment. It's hard to say, really.
(28:03):
I think poles you kind of take, for me, taken
with a grain of salt in some ways, look at them,
read into them. It does give a feel for the
nation and how some people are feeling about things. But
if you look at what's going on in the world
at the moment, what's been happening in New Zealand, especially
economically with people doing it's still tough with the cost
of living, you can see why the results might be
(28:23):
the way they are. If people are unhappy, of course
it's going to dip down.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Do you see any positives regarding this world's situation and
New Zealand exports at the moment?
Speaker 9 (28:32):
Oh, it's hard to say, isn't it, As it's such
an uncertain time around the world at the moment with
everything going on, and and I think it's going to
be tough maybe for the next see while and very uncertain.
It's hard to say. I can't really look into a
crystal ball and give an answer with that, but you know,
look at the great things that are going on at
the moment. We had a fantastic GDT result this week
(28:52):
as well, which was I don't know if that was
unexpected or not. With the way things are going in
the world, our red meat prices are still going really well,
so you've just got to hang onto those positives.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Well, there's been a lot of positives at the moment,
and I think we just need to celebrate these wins
when they occur because they don't happen all that often,
and this season just seems to provided absolutely.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
I mean, I'm a half glass full person, Andy, you
know that about me, and I think sometimes you've just
got to take how things are going as they are
and think, right, things are going actually pretty well for
me right now. I'm going to hang onto this and
just live in this moment for now, especially with the
way things are going, with the uncertainty around the world.
Not thinking ahead too much is probably a good way
(29:33):
to tackle it. But yeah, I think there's a lot
of positives. The only sector that's really struggling is probably arable,
but they've been struggling for quite a while. I was
up in Canterbury actually a week ago. Things looking very
green up there, but they've had a lot of wheat
and struggling with obviously harvest and things like that. But
they've been struggling with quite a bit of stuff for
a while and their sector. So it'll be about watching
(29:55):
this space, I think.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
With that, it's been an interesting season for a lot
of people getting their harvests in the paddock and you've
got a window of opportunity. It's like making hay. A
few people making getting the hay cat at the moment.
Traditionally late January is when you've got a true weather pattern,
but just it just hasn't existed, and like Phil don't
Can said before, mishell, we're just going into autumn. So
you've got a brace for.
Speaker 9 (30:16):
It, absolutely, but it still doesn't help those arable farmers
and how they're doing it tough. And the thing with
arable farming too and is that they're reliant on that
one crop. If we have bad weather. If you've got
sheep and dairy cows and things like that, you have
one store and one bad block of weather. It's not great.
You know, things are bad. I'm not going to downplay
(30:37):
that at all. But for arable farming, they can lose
a whole crop, you know, in that one go and
not be able to grow it back. So it's it's
quite serious for them where they're very reliant on the
weather and the climate. But they're also very resilient when
you talk to them as well. There's some great people
in that arable sector.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I think you're just talking farming in a nutshell there.
Look the black Caps they're in the final against India.
T twenty love it, I hate it. Tea twenty. You
can sit on the fence. You don't remember a result
after the game's play. That's a nature of the beast.
But for the black Caps to make this final in
a monetary sense and pound four pound all that REDT
tricky hear about. Yes it's true, but I think it's
(31:13):
time for us to lift the trophy.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
Oh I love T twenty Andy. I don't care what
people think of me for saying that, but T twenty
cricket is just so exciting. Of course, I spoke to
you at the end of last year when the Ashes
were on and I was starting to get into Test
cricket and learning about the Ashes and getting very excited
about that once I got into the whole game of
it and how it works. But T twenty is such
a great game, and New Zealand is very good at well,
(31:37):
we're doing very well obviously at the moment we made
it into the finals. Of course, I think India won't
they be the first team to retain the trophy in
the first to win it on home soil if they
do beat New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah, but let's put this into context. T twenty World.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Cups are how just about every two years, so it's
not like it's a phenomenon for it to happen. And
the BCCI you've got Australia, India and England who rule
the cricket. England escape with their money, right, and for
India to win this game, well, if they were to
lose this game, it wouldn't be a big big deal
because that's not the red trick they roll with at
the BCCI.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
It's all about India.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it. Because teest cracket. We've spoken
about this before too. There's only really a few nations
that really are able to play, that play it well
and dominate in it. The rest are all focused on
T twenty. So it's an interesting world when you've got
a team that can play both. And yeah, there's a
lot of money tied up in cracket, a lot. I
don't think people realize. We think here in New Zealand
(32:34):
we're very isolated. It's all very much about rugby and
the All Blacks. But I'll tell you what, cricket, there's
a lot of money tied up in that overseas.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Good on you, Michelle.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Hopefully next time we chat the black Caps will be
T twenty World champions. Coincidentally, as well, the sharing she
had mixed, the muster sharing she had mixed.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I did this a couple of years ago. It is
on my heart radio.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
So do yourself as a favor and go and listen
this weekend and you enjoy the weekend.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
You too.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
Andy.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
In the Country Crossover, our resident Sporting Gury Nathan Burdon
joins us next had a beautiful inbicargo on. Nathan Burdon
is our residents Sporting Gury down here in the South
and joins US weekly.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Nathan, Good afternoon. It's a Southern stunner.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah, It's an absolute rapper, isn't it. And I'm just
reflecting on Obviously, we're based here at Ilt Stadium, South
And and we've got the New Zealand Track Cycling Championships
have been happening here this week. We've got a whole
lot of people streaming in as we speak, signing up
and picking up their race numbers for the Wensleys Cycles
Surf the city, and we've got as I speak, we've
(33:42):
got the Southern Steeler going about their preseason and training
on court one. So she's all happening here.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
You'll be as well qualified to comment on this as anybody.
Steve Broad the other day saying to the MBCABO Council
we're not doing enough to attract major events down here.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Would you agree?
Speaker 1 (33:58):
I'd agree one hundred percent, maybe one hundred and ten
percent actually, But until you put some resource and some
and some strategy into that, then then nothing's really going
to happen. And to and to be honest, and I
know it costs money, and it's and it's you know,
someone's got to someone's got to pay for these sorts
of things to happen. But to me, those events, you know,
(34:20):
they add so much vibrancy. There's economic impacts. They are
a reason for living here. So I think events are
a key part for any province. And if we decide
to sit back, then you know we're never going to
get anywhere.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
In interesting saf talking in the Tribune the other day
about Mana Pacifica playing the Chiefs and of the Cargo
because they can't go over the tongue.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
That would have been a great coupe.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, And you know, all of these games they create
economic movement, but there does need to be some sort
of strategy. Someone needs to drive it, and it probably
needs a bit of a regional approach. And I guess
probably the question is we are we big enough and
mature enough that as a province we can have a
regional approach, get in the room together and have a
(35:05):
conversation about what's best for not just in the Cargo
and not just any of the other centers, but what's
best for the province.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
The Highlanders have got the force at home tomorrow. You
could argue this is a must win game in round four,
round four.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Year, and it's I guess that's the lot for a
team like the Highlanders. They've shown lots of good signs
already this season, don't they. But unless they get the
dub against some of these other teams, then they're just
going to be no chance of making the playoffs. And
saying that, I was pretty impressed with the Force last week.
They looked like a really good, bright attacking team. So
(35:40):
I'll be probably relishing the chance to get under the
roof and really throw the ball around.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Yeah, George Bridge, he was looking really.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Good, wasn't he. It'd sort of you I'd completely forgotten
about George Bridge, maybe one of the forgotten men of
New Zealand rugby, but he had one flufter's lines during
that game. But see, apart from that, he looked absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
It's just good to see the aussy teams leading the table,
and let's be honest, from the perspective of the competition
not just being one way traffic with the Crusaders at
the top.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah, at the stage anyway.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
One of the things you get with those assie teams
is that they play different styles, which is something I
think that we've probably been critical of New Zealand franchises
who they almost seem to be a little bit much
of a muchness. But the Aussie teams. You look at
the Brumbies who obviously place their game a lot around
the set piece. If anything, you could call them a
(36:36):
bit boring. But see they're effective. You've got the force
obviously if you're attacking team, so you know they've got
these these teams that actually bring some different styles to
the fight.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Now, the black Caps, this is a massive, massive game
in the T twenty landscape, with the cracketing landscape, up against.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
The might of India.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
This is five point five million people up against the
nation of one point four billion. New Zealand is what
they refer to as a village in India. That's how
small we are. This is the size of the fight.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Yeah, it just doesn't get any bigger and it doesn't
get any more exciting, does it? A final against India
in India, And to be honest, I just don't think
we've got anything to lose. You know, We've we obviously
we've we've struggled when we've been able to get through
to the to the big dance on a number of occasions.
But in this case, the Mount Everest is right there.
(37:24):
I think the black Caps can play with all the
freedom in the world because no one outside of the
diehard supporters will be expecting them to win, and so
they can just go out there and give it an
absolute black which is absolutely what Finn Allen did against
South Africa and look how that came out.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
The best thing that happened to the black Caps is
organizing this fives game T twenty series before the tournament.
It's come back and paid off in dividends.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yeah, obviously we know, we know the conditions. We know
the Indian team very well, as some of the honors
were shared in that preseason sort of head out between
those two teams.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, as the players know each other really well, don't they.
I think there was some concern that when we got
through to the seuper eight that we were going to
struggle going over to Sri Lanka and not having as
much experience over there. But they've been able to do
a job and get themselves and they've got themselves in
the fight, haven't they. So you know it's going to
be pretty exciting come Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
I mean, realistically, the days of wedding, the ODO well,
the ODI crack it sadly is just falling off the landscape.
It still does exist, but nothing like it used to be.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
And they talk.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
About T twenty being the revenue gatherer that it is,
especially for the Big three Australia, England and India and
for us to progress to where we are, I think
we've got the world chairing for us.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah. Well, calendar wise we're very much in the shadow
of the IPL, aren't. We absolutely kick off really shortly,
so I think this tournament has probably struggled a little
bit to get momentum and get attention. You'd have to
say the ICC have probably you know, done some good
things in terms of trying to broaden the game with
(39:06):
having some of the smaller nations involved, but that's probably
it's probably taken a bit of time for to get going.
But having the home team playing a final, playing in
the final will go a long way to really getting
some attention around this at the sharp end of the tournament.
It's great that New Zealander there as well.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Yeah, we'll know the result there Monday morning, probably around
five five thirty am. And as well the New Zealand
Warriors up the wars they're back on the Nround Merry
Go Round starting this evening against Sydney Roosters.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
This has come around pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yeah, it has come round pretty quickly. Actual. I was
doing my picks this morning, I said, yeah, the Warriors
have got It's a tough game, fast up, isn't it.
But yeah, it's you know, maybe it's the year, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Now if I make the eight that were doing well,
I'm just putting it out there straight off the cuff.
I like the thing to do better. But it all
relates to Luke Metcar firing at five eight.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, yep, it's not a bad call.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
So we'll see how that pans out.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
And then you see Melbourne last night putting fifty points
off on power matter. But it's just good to be
I don't know. This timing year is awesome. You've got
the Cracket, You've got a bit of geez, a bit
of squash happening as well, Paul Cole playing in christ
Church in the New Zealand Open. But then you've got
the Union going on the crack at the intertwining of
the seasons. It just it just doesn't happen on the
telly though. It happens for the local club competition.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah. I like the way that you know, the mr
else starting puts a wee bit a heat on Super
Rugby too, doesn't it. The two products don't necessarily Yeah,
let's just say unless Super Rugby is absolutely firing, the
product doesn't necessarily look as good compete with the NRL.
So we need some We need some good Rugby to
be happening as well, otherwise it can be a can
(40:47):
get a bit too easy to switch channels.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Good only Nath, happy golfing this weekend.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Thanks mate.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Before we wrap up, we do catch up with Nathan Aberneath.
