Speaker 1 (00:09):
In this town. We got supporters f half miles around.
We got we got the heart.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Before we wrap up for a Wednesday afternoon, we're joined
in studio by Victorious Ram Frelly shield winning self and
Staggs proper. He smiling when to say that. Morgan Mitchell
local legion down here in the South. Morgan, good afternoon. Firstly,
you've recovered from Sunday.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Thank you for having me. Yeah, you have recovered from
Sunday and Monday has been awesome. Yeah, there's a lot
of free past coming out, so I had to drink
all them. But now we had to put our heads
in yesterday. Yeah to training yesterday afternoon. Yeah, you know,
(00:58):
ready to get back to it for this Saturday. And
near finish off with a fitness session as a whole group.
So yeah, we'll go back to normal now. So ready
to go again for Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
How did that fitness session go use today?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I was hating it, but have once we got it done,
I actually were all feelt better.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I think it's the whole reason why we did it,
just to sweat out the piss and bring.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
You back to earth.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, bring ye.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Okay, we go back to Sunday night. The image of
sticks out for me is Jack Taylor chanting Southland, just
grabbing this left, the grabbing the goldens. That that's iconic
moments like that and all you guys and that photo there,
the arguments out there, you've reinvigorated the MPC. That's just
all you're hearing from throughout the sporting media in the country.
(01:53):
Have not the media in general.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Jack Taylor is the true passionate man. And yeah, he
did make a statement there messing the East on the Southland.
It's what it means to us and what it means
for self and yeah, I did it for you guys. Yeah,
it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
How long did it take for everything to sink in
and what actually happened? Well, yes, it sunk in.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, when it really sunk in when I got to
see mom and dad on the sideline. That's really when
I head it home. And then probably when we bought
the shield. In the training room, just singing our team song,
what is.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
The tame song? Just a selflone chat.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I've sort of lost my voice so I can't do it. Yeah,
and then it's just like we moments like reading articles
and like seeing highlights. It just gives me good some bumps.
So year it's pretty special, to be.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Honest, because from a fans' perspective, right, I followed South
in Rugby since GM's sounding old house since nineteen eighty two. Right,
So we win the shield in nine, we're lucky enough
to get it again in twenty eleven. But for me,
this one here just resonates more because we were talking
about this just before Morgan, about the low times in
South and Rugby and eventually you get rewarded, and we've
(03:23):
been rewarded in a big way. And the fact I
took my boys to the airport to see the team
come in there on Monday afternoon, I felt vindicated for
putting them out of school early at two o'clock or
everyone shooting down there. Because I was trying to explain
to my youngest son. He goes, so, what's so important
about the Shield? And I said, you have no idea
the amount of all blacks. So Jeff Wilson on TV
(03:43):
on Sunday night, when you won it, like justin Marshall
Mills myna chuckling away. But GOLDI has never won the shield.
He came close to ninety four and just seeing it
come through Sean Withy carrying it all, you guys coming
through and just a passion in the room. You know,
it was brilliant and that just vindicated being a South.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Like if you as you said before, if you go
back to one and eleven when they when they brought
it home, and I've seen that and we got to
do it. So it's good for the younger generation that
are coming through. You know, they can do it as well.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, you hear a lot of people that don't want
it at all. That's what makes it so special for
the refolutional So I'm proud to be part of the history. Yes,
just a special thing really.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You think of the battling teams of teams that have
been batlers, like the Stags, Manow two and Northland, they
haven't had it since the late seventies. Perhaps I think
Mano D two may have in the early eighties or
the likes, but they haven't seen it. So the facts
the Stags have had it three times in our lifetimes
as well. It's staggering hues.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
The pun it's awesome. Yeah, as you said, the Stacks
don't lie. You know, some teams don't get it for
a long time. And we've had we've had the charts
and we've actually managed to win it. So yeah, it's
special even it gives me goosebumps talking about it now,
but yeah, it's just one of those things.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
So it's Canterbury on Saturday. They're a team that is
flying along in the MPC. Look the odds are out
from the tab. They've got the stags of five dollars
hit to heat. That's the way you guys like it though, right.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh we love it. If Tav wants to lose the
money and we win, we just loved it. But all seriousness,
were all believe in ourselves and yeah Saturday four thirty,
Yeah we're up for already. We're reready talking about it,
about the defense, so yeah, we can't wait to hockn
(05:56):
you defend it and hopefully do well for Celflon again.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Because around Preddy Shields involved, do you grow another league?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Oh one hunder Um, we're going to full days training
tomorrow and I guarantee you there will be another league
there somewhere, So yeah, we'll be ripping out and there's
just him that shield. At training last yesterday it was
just around us. We head up with us the whole time.
(06:26):
So yeah, definitely grows another league for you. Ye, one
hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And then we fast forward to this afternoon. You're hearing
your worktop, you're out there, You're going to go and
riddle some dry use or something this afternoon. So back
to reality for a bit, like.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Royal List, Doc has been so supportive or I can't
think them enough and yeah once I get out there
full time with them, or you can't wait to give
a bit to them. You know, they've been awesome, so great company, great,
great people to work for.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So what's your message to the south and public ahead
of Saturday's game?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Morgan, just keep believing us. We're believe in ourselves. Get
down there on Saturday four thirty. The more people we have,
the better it is for us, just having the extra player.
And yeah, it's just an awesome to be proud to
(07:23):
be proud of a Southland. It's an awesome proments and
we all love each other. Yeah, it's just what's Southland?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's so special and nobody wants Kenna ready to have
the shield shout out to it, Kennedy listens, but I'm sorry,
this is totally stags on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
A Yeah, can it be a pretty classy team. But no,
we're going to back ourselves, go deep in our d
and you believe in ourselves and we will hook in
big time.
Speaker 2 (07:51):

ripping and tearing on Saturday afternoon? Antler's up for the
weekend day.
