Cameron George

Let's get things going with a look at some of the big sports stories around today.

Warriors Chief Executive Cameron George has been impressed by the move to Auckland's Eden Park, the Sunday's NRL League Finals knockout match against the Knights.

The capacity of more than 48,000 already sold out.

It's been very smooth and that's based on the professional outfit we're dealing with at Eden Park and the professionalism of the team and the Warriors in getting stuff done.

Okay.

The Whas are travelling well, and it's a large way due to the work current owner, Mark Robson, CEO Cameron George, we had on the show yesterday, and the back office team.

It's no surprise that the successful teams have a well-run back office.

It's absolutely Kiwi Andy.

And that's a commercial decision.

You know, we're a good footy club that loves our people and that's the way we go about our business.

Like, do you spend much time in and around the boys out of a normal week? How many sort of days of the week would you be in and around the team or do you just let Webby do his thing and you look after yours?

I'm very connected to him.

I travel to every game, always go on the road with the boys.

I also, the mural's still up at the Warriors HQ.

I told Cameron George, who is the CEO of the Warriors, that I will pay for it to be covered because he just keeps dragging this out, to be honest, at this point.

That's what he was saying.

And I'm like, you're Simon Manoring.

Maybe people are-

If you're ma- Cameron George, Warriors CEO, said, "I would rather sell tickets at half price and have a full stadium-

Yep

... than have a half full stadium for full price tickets." And I think-
