  Speaker 1: Andrew Orison, Welcome in to the show. Greetings Andrew sout
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: on Liam Lawson is getting just the most phenomenally bad press. Yeah,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: yeah he is, And well it's gonna be up to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: him to turn around it. I guess this team as well.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: But ultimately it falls on him, doesn't it. He's moved
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: up to twelfth with three dis qualifications after initially finishing
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: fifteenth in Shanghai. But to me, Max of stuff and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: not doing much better either into fourth as a result
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of that, but McLaren going strong, Oscar Piastre winning the race.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I think the car is rubbish and the only way
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that Red Bull is competitive is that Max is a genius.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, that could be the case. It's got so
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: much experience under the bonnet so to speak now after
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: all those years, and is a depending world champion. But
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I think Liam Lawson, I mean, the timing is not
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: great going in there and it's and ultimately it falls
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: with him. But it's showcased again why Formula ones that
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: are team sport as much as anything.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, and also why it's also called the Parana school. Yes, okay,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it's not far wrong. Very sad news. Gris Wiley has
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: died at eighty. I mean the first player that I idolized,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: because I remember the Lions touring seventy one and Grizz
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and I remember him being in the backseat with the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: sombrero one and the hats, you know, with Tane Norton
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and all that. Didn't I didn't think anything would ever
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: get to Grizz.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I know, and gris just such a formidable you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: two to force really across the game for decades. But
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: as you say, as a player, all black and of
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: course such a formidable member of that Canterbury squad in
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the sixties and seventies. But then I think probably I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: mean for my generation at least, remembering him as a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: coach as much as anything. I mean that tremendous record
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: he had with well, ultimately with Canterbury, winning the Repleet
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Shield in eighty two, leading on through the National Championship
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and then the Rapley Shield Challenge of eighty five when
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I was younger, you know what, eight years old at
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the time, in just that twenty eight twenty three and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: what did you say at halftime that there's the ball,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I've scored twenty four points. You can do the same
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: with something that you know, various versions of.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: That magnificent game Lancaster Park, full to the Gunnals.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I watched that Kerwin whacking the ball over the dead
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: ball line, which would be looked upon differently today, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: then going on to coach the All Blacks and so
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: formidably with you know, in the buck shelf for the air.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, had that controversy as well with bring back Buck.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he was. It was a phenomenal period, wasn't we.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I think they meant nineteen games without a loss there
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and just taking over from Bryla wore.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Grauffen tough but loveable underneath.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I had a couple of dealings with him and he
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: was tremendous. When you wanted to get hold of him,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: he was. He was always available. So yeah, Rop Griz Andrew,
• 2:37
