That was about as complete a display 22 00:01:09,787 --> 00:01:12,187 Speaker 2: as Hurricanes fans could have hoped for. How do you 23 00:01:12,427 --> 00:01:15,387 Speaker 2: inside the team reflect on the performance last night? 24 00:01:16,427 --> 00:01:18,867 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was pretty good informant. I think just the 25 00:01:18,867 --> 00:01:22,467 Speaker 4: way we started, we went too happy with our defense. 26 00:01:22,547 --> 00:01:26,227 Speaker 4: I think our cycles pretty softly. So then we get 27 00:01:26,227 --> 00:01:28,507 Speaker 4: back Janson and have a review of the game the 28 00:01:28,547 --> 00:01:30,787 Speaker 4: first twenty minutes, we'll see what we can do better 29 00:01:30,827 --> 00:01:32,747 Speaker 4: to start the game off with more positions of the ball. 30 00:01:33,987 --> 00:01:36,067 Speaker 4: But apart from that, I feel like art tackle was 31 00:01:36,147 --> 00:01:39,947 Speaker 4: humming and just ploset contact offloads and catch path accuracy 32 00:01:39,987 --> 00:01:42,787 Speaker 4: is downing some thing as well, at the key factor 33 00:01:42,827 --> 00:01:45,227 Speaker 4: in our game. And yeah, from my side of the ball, 34 00:01:45,227 --> 00:01:47,147 Speaker 4: it was just pretty happy to see you run, smiling 35 00:01:47,147 --> 00:01:50,467 Speaker 4: ever run and enjoying their footing, and yeah, at a 36 00:01:50,467 --> 00:01:52,307 Speaker 4: bit of fun serves absolutely well. 37 00:01:52,387 --> 00:01:56,227 Speaker 2: Keeping the ball alive, ball speed through multiple sets of hands. 38 00:01:56,387 --> 00:01:58,267 Speaker 2: It's always been a part of the Hurricanes DNA. I 39 00:01:58,267 --> 00:02:01,147 Speaker 2: think it's really eye catching. How much of the twenty 40 00:02:01,227 --> 00:02:04,227 Speaker 2: twenty six game plan for the Hurricanes is that sort 41 00:02:04,227 --> 00:02:04,547 Speaker 2: of thing. 42 00:02:06,947 --> 00:02:10,587 Speaker 4: It's massive, and I think the way yelling things defend 43 00:02:11,067 --> 00:02:12,827 Speaker 4: with a lot of line speed coming high up on 44 00:02:13,227 --> 00:02:18,027 Speaker 4: wings and the field is to have a short passing 45 00:02:18,067 --> 00:02:20,907 Speaker 4: game as well as a long passing game, but not 46 00:02:20,947 --> 00:02:23,867 Speaker 4: differentiating in the speed of pass. It's huge and it's 47 00:02:23,907 --> 00:02:25,947 Speaker 4: such a might not be able to see it on TV, 48 00:02:26,107 --> 00:02:28,547 Speaker 4: but it's a lot harder on the field when you 49 00:02:28,587 --> 00:02:30,627 Speaker 4: got the boys, big boys in front of you about 50 00:02:30,707 --> 00:02:34,547 Speaker 4: Chappy so but yeah, we're enjoying it. I mean, Jason, 51 00:02:34,787 --> 00:02:36,987 Speaker 4: Jason Holland has been been massive for us, and obviously 52 00:02:36,987 --> 00:02:38,627 Speaker 4: the news coming up this morning, but we're pretty good 53 00:02:38,667 --> 00:02:41,307 Speaker 4: at to see him go. But just having him back 54 00:02:41,307 --> 00:02:45,267 Speaker 4: in the Canes. He's brought such a great attacking mindset 55 00:02:45,307 --> 00:02:48,187 Speaker 4: and just the way he coaches man the drills, he 56 00:02:48,227 --> 00:02:51,187 Speaker 4: sets up the people person he is like knowing how 57 00:02:51,227 --> 00:02:52,787 Speaker 4: to get the best of everyone. Such a strength of 58 00:02:52,867 --> 00:02:55,947 Speaker 4: his and yeah, even seeing him happy being in this environment, 59 00:02:56,027 --> 00:02:58,467 Speaker 4: that's that's awesome, outstanding. 60 00:02:58,507 --> 00:03:00,827 Speaker 2: I heard another one of your assistants, Brent Evans, on 61 00:03:00,827 --> 00:03:03,747 Speaker 2: the radio this morning say that you, personally, Ruben, had 62 00:03:03,787 --> 00:03:06,107 Speaker 2: had a great week leading into the game, or what 63 00:03:06,147 --> 00:03:09,587 Speaker 2: does the week leading into a game look like for 64 00:03:09,667 --> 00:03:11,987 Speaker 2: you when it goes well? 65 00:03:13,147 --> 00:03:19,067 Speaker 4: Honestly, it's just making sure everyone else is happy and comfortable. Obviously, 66 00:03:19,107 --> 00:03:20,267 Speaker 4: at the start of the week I did to get 67 00:03:20,267 --> 00:03:22,347 Speaker 4: else over the game plan, how we want to play, 68 00:03:23,267 --> 00:03:26,067 Speaker 4: a feel of the wad IFFs obviously, what the opposition 69 00:03:26,187 --> 00:03:29,787 Speaker 4: brings to the game. But for me, like a lot 70 00:03:29,827 --> 00:03:31,227 Speaker 4: of the and I said it last time and on 71 00:03:31,267 --> 00:03:33,507 Speaker 4: an interview, I've put so much pressure on myself after 72 00:03:33,667 --> 00:03:35,907 Speaker 4: like the last couple of years of I just want 73 00:03:35,947 --> 00:03:38,427 Speaker 4: to think of all that selection and all that. But 74 00:03:39,427 --> 00:03:42,387 Speaker 4: now I just trted to detach from no outcome, what 75 00:03:42,507 --> 00:03:44,667 Speaker 4: the selection policies, and I just want to be the 76 00:03:45,227 --> 00:03:47,747 Speaker 4: player my teammates need. And if I can have the 77 00:03:47,747 --> 00:03:50,067 Speaker 4: big boys the props having a clear mind, then I 78 00:03:50,067 --> 00:03:52,147 Speaker 4: know that I'm doing a conjob for everyone else on 79 00:03:52,187 --> 00:03:52,987 Speaker 4: the team. 80 00:03:53,347 --> 00:03:57,347 Speaker 2: Came Roy Guard again, hugely influential. How much I mean, 81 00:03:57,387 --> 00:03:59,027 Speaker 2: I know it's only early in the season, but how 82 00:03:59,107 --> 00:04:03,187 Speaker 2: much you enjoying that nineteen partnership and you know, guiding 83 00:04:03,227 --> 00:04:05,667 Speaker 2: the team around the field with came Roy Guard there 84 00:04:05,707 --> 00:04:06,107 Speaker 2: as well. 85 00:04:07,387 --> 00:04:10,107 Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it. Yeah, that's that's my guy. So 86 00:04:10,147 --> 00:04:12,867 Speaker 4: we talk about the first time we were nine and 87 00:04:12,907 --> 00:04:14,947 Speaker 4: ten for the Canes. I think it was twenty twenty 88 00:04:14,987 --> 00:04:20,107 Speaker 4: one against the Reds with Fact and since then, like 89 00:04:20,147 --> 00:04:22,107 Speaker 4: we've always wanted to just run it back ever since 90 00:04:22,107 --> 00:04:24,867 Speaker 4: we met each other. It came pre season and I 91 00:04:24,867 --> 00:04:26,907 Speaker 4: think it was twenty twenty or twenty twenty one. It's 92 00:04:27,227 --> 00:04:30,467 Speaker 4: just been close ever since. So yeah, obviously, like we 93 00:04:30,507 --> 00:04:32,227 Speaker 4: wanted to have a crack at the allbacks, but that 94 00:04:32,267 --> 00:04:34,347 Speaker 4: didn't happen for each other. So we just called to 95 00:04:35,027 --> 00:04:37,387 Speaker 4: have it out for the Canes and got up round 96 00:04:37,427 --> 00:04:39,547 Speaker 4: the same kind of wavelength we work around really hard, 97 00:04:39,547 --> 00:04:41,427 Speaker 4: and we just want the best for this team and 98 00:04:42,307 --> 00:04:43,747 Speaker 4: we just want to see our friends hold up the 99 00:04:43,747 --> 00:04:47,827 Speaker 4: trophy really and we're both competitive at everything. So yeah, 100 00:04:47,867 --> 00:04:51,747 Speaker 4: maybe he could stop stop snoring. A couple of times 101 00:04:51,787 --> 00:04:53,747 Speaker 4: in my roommate dads that don't helped me out of 102 00:04:53,787 --> 00:04:58,147 Speaker 4: my operation, but halfrom that bro, he's a pretty good dude. 103 00:04:58,307 --> 00:05:00,107 Speaker 2: Well you can't have everything, can you. You can't be 104 00:05:00,147 --> 00:05:01,307 Speaker 2: you know, one of the best half bakes in the 105 00:05:01,347 --> 00:05:04,067 Speaker 2: world and be perfect, you know when you're Yeah, well 106 00:05:04,107 --> 00:05:06,627 Speaker 2: I think we'll probably forgive him as snoring Blake, I 107 00:05:06,627 --> 00:05:08,947 Speaker 2: want to ask you about is for young and norfol 108 00:05:09,227 --> 00:05:11,267 Speaker 2: Het trick? He goes all right, doesn't he. 109 00:05:13,187 --> 00:05:15,427 Speaker 4: I've been telling so many people the last two years 110 00:05:15,427 --> 00:05:17,547 Speaker 4: like he's one of the most special players I've ever seen. 111 00:05:18,347 --> 00:05:20,107 Speaker 4: I'm so good at he's going. It's probably one of 112 00:05:20,107 --> 00:05:23,627 Speaker 4: the hardest goodbye as a as a teammate. That I have, 113 00:05:23,827 --> 00:05:27,107 Speaker 4: But we absolutely love him, like if he even if 114 00:05:27,107 --> 00:05:29,547 Speaker 4: he couldn't play on midfield the way he's playing, we 115 00:05:29,987 --> 00:05:31,467 Speaker 4: just love having him in the group. He's brings such 116 00:05:31,467 --> 00:05:35,507 Speaker 4: a vibe and energy to just being friends to everyone. 117 00:05:35,587 --> 00:05:38,067 Speaker 4: And you see him the way he plays, man, all 118 00:05:38,107 --> 00:05:40,187 Speaker 4: you got to give him is two meters of separation 119 00:05:40,267 --> 00:05:42,907 Speaker 4: in space and then he's gone. He's got so much 120 00:05:42,987 --> 00:05:45,507 Speaker 4: expect that. And one thing that Corey James been working 121 00:05:45,547 --> 00:05:47,107 Speaker 4: really hard with him was his hard ball and as 122 00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:49,227 Speaker 4: the defense, and he's he's excelled in that and he's 123 00:05:49,227 --> 00:05:52,267 Speaker 4: definitely one of the best wingers in this country. And yeah, 124 00:05:52,547 --> 00:05:55,667 Speaker 4: if he wasn't going, I was, Yeah, I'd been pretty 125 00:05:55,667 --> 00:05:58,867 Speaker 4: exciting to see him from for Black Jersey or higher 126 00:05:58,907 --> 00:06:01,787 Speaker 4: on because I definitely think he's he's one of his 127 00:06:01,827 --> 00:06:03,147 Speaker 4: special players I've I've played with. 128 00:06:03,547 --> 00:06:08,187 Speaker 2: As first try Reuben from your cross kick. How satisfying 129 00:06:08,227 --> 00:06:10,667 Speaker 2: is it when when something like get that comes off 130 00:06:10,667 --> 00:06:12,467 Speaker 2: in a game. I know you train it, but how 131 00:06:12,507 --> 00:06:14,147 Speaker 2: satisfying is it to see it come off in a 132 00:06:14,147 --> 00:06:14,787 Speaker 2: game like that? 133 00:06:16,507 --> 00:06:21,187 Speaker 4: Yeah, It's it's cool. You know, it's professional like sport. 134 00:06:22,107 --> 00:06:24,267 Speaker 4: Come to realize you can do a thousand kirks or 135 00:06:24,347 --> 00:06:28,067 Speaker 4: a thousand practices or practice moments of a skill. But 136 00:06:28,187 --> 00:06:29,867 Speaker 4: if you can't nail it the one chance you get 137 00:06:29,867 --> 00:06:32,347 Speaker 4: in a game, it doesn't matter for anything. So it's 138 00:06:32,347 --> 00:06:34,267 Speaker 4: a it's nice when you only get one opportunity and 139 00:06:34,267 --> 00:06:36,467 Speaker 4: it could be one opportunity in the season to nail it. 140 00:06:36,507 --> 00:06:38,907 Speaker 4: And yeah, I've been practicing the cook for a while. 141 00:06:38,907 --> 00:06:42,147 Speaker 4: It's a bit of a tough kirk facing forward and 142 00:06:42,707 --> 00:06:45,267 Speaker 4: trying to get your leg around to arket right or 143 00:06:45,307 --> 00:06:48,107 Speaker 4: left so the winger doesn't backtrack when he sees your 144 00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:52,867 Speaker 4: shoulders open. But yeah, all I had to do is 145 00:06:52,867 --> 00:06:55,107 Speaker 4: just because give him the ball, really and he has 146 00:06:55,187 --> 00:06:57,467 Speaker 4: to meet the space and he goes in. So it 147 00:06:57,547 --> 00:06:59,707 Speaker 4: was just a matter of getting on the ball and. 148 00:06:59,667 --> 00:07:02,107 Speaker 2: You welcome the new member to the Hurricanes family.

The emotions coming and 176 00:08:23,027 --> 00:08:25,507 Speaker 4: in such ways, and you get too high on your 177 00:08:25,507 --> 00:08:29,027 Speaker 4: own supply and you don't perform the next week. And yeah, 178 00:08:29,027 --> 00:08:30,627 Speaker 4: but if you the other end of the stick, if 179 00:08:30,667 --> 00:08:32,267 Speaker 4: you're too hard on themselves, you know, everyone goes into 180 00:08:32,307 --> 00:08:35,587 Speaker 4: the shell and it doesn't perform at all. So we 181 00:08:35,667 --> 00:08:37,347 Speaker 4: just want to make sure that we've got two days 182 00:08:37,347 --> 00:08:39,627 Speaker 4: off now the boys go see their families. We've been 183 00:08:39,667 --> 00:08:41,827 Speaker 4: on the road for the last four weeks, five weeks, 184 00:08:41,827 --> 00:08:44,787 Speaker 4: so it's an opportunity now just to take a breath 185 00:08:44,827 --> 00:08:47,347 Speaker 4: to regroup and then come back on Monday for a 186 00:08:47,387 --> 00:08:49,907 Speaker 4: full week of training to play the rebons Saturday. But 187 00:08:50,427 --> 00:08:52,107 Speaker 4: I've definitely got to keep the enjoyment fact of high. 188 00:08:52,107 --> 00:08:53,787 Speaker 4: That's what's the best thing about the Hurricane team and 189 00:08:53,907 --> 00:08:56,427 Speaker 4: environment an organization as a whole, is the way that 190 00:08:56,427 --> 00:09:00,987 Speaker 4: we enjoy each other's company and enjoy training. And although 191 00:09:00,987 --> 00:09:03,707 Speaker 4: it's hard and at times it really hurts and I 192 00:09:03,867 --> 00:09:05,507 Speaker 4: have to make sacrifice and stuff, we just want to 193 00:09:05,507 --> 00:09:09,627 Speaker 4: make sure that our culture as always first before and. 194 00:09:09,547 --> 00:09:11,227 Speaker 2: We know you can play anywhere in the back three 195 00:09:11,387 --> 00:09:14,427 Speaker 2: as well as first five. Does it feel like ten 196 00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:17,267 Speaker 2: is now a position at this moment you really want 197 00:09:17,307 --> 00:09:18,347 Speaker 2: to have a decent crack. 198 00:09:18,147 --> 00:09:22,467 Speaker 4: At Yeah, yeah, hundred percent. Like I don't feel like 199 00:09:22,467 --> 00:09:24,747 Speaker 4: I like to conjure up anything else or say anything 200 00:09:24,787 --> 00:09:26,227 Speaker 4: in the media about where I want to play. Like, 201 00:09:26,987 --> 00:09:28,787 Speaker 4: in my head, it's pretty simple. I grew up as 202 00:09:28,787 --> 00:09:32,347 Speaker 4: a ten and I started at the Hurricanes as a ten, 203 00:09:32,427 --> 00:09:35,467 Speaker 4: and yeah, it's got to move fullback after two of 204 00:09:35,507 --> 00:09:39,067 Speaker 4: my groin, But I feel like I enjoyed both positions. 205 00:09:39,107 --> 00:09:40,667 Speaker 4: I feel like I've worked hard enough to say I'm 206 00:09:40,707 --> 00:09:44,987 Speaker 4: a depth at both and I just want to take 207 00:09:44,987 --> 00:09:47,467 Speaker 4: the Hurricanes to high heights really like I enjoyed playing 208 00:09:47,467 --> 00:09:51,027 Speaker 4: ten and being a player that my teammates need, but selfishly, 209 00:09:51,027 --> 00:09:54,347 Speaker 4: I enjoy being in the pressure cooker and getting back 210 00:09:54,387 --> 00:09:59,187 Speaker 4: to goal kicking. I really enjoyed that. And one thing 211 00:10:00,107 --> 00:10:04,467 Speaker 4: I love about being a press bivers you've never you're 212 00:10:04,467 --> 00:10:06,667 Speaker 4: never really good enough, you know, like you've never actually 213 00:10:06,707 --> 00:10:08,467 Speaker 4: did There's no just thing as a perfect game because 214 00:10:08,627 --> 00:10:13,147 Speaker 4: there's so many variables you're play calling, your footspeed, cadence, 215 00:10:13,667 --> 00:10:16,987 Speaker 4: making classes, like everything is so down to the finals 216 00:10:17,067 --> 00:10:19,867 Speaker 4: detail and you can never really complete it, so there's 217 00:10:19,907 --> 00:10:21,667 Speaker 4: always room for growth. And I just want to make 218 00:10:21,707 --> 00:10:23,707 Speaker 4: sure that every week you know, I've never contented, I'm 219 00:10:23,747 --> 00:10:27,187 Speaker 4: never satisfied, and being the best team mate that I can. 220 00:10:27,147 --> 00:10:29,627 Speaker 2: For the boys, and you mentioned him before Jason Holland 221 00:10:29,707 --> 00:10:31,427 Speaker 2: off to the Blues. I know he's had a big 222 00:10:31,467 --> 00:10:33,907 Speaker 2: influence on you. How's that going to be with him 223 00:10:33,907 --> 00:10:36,707 Speaker 2: in the opposing coaching box with Blues kit On. 224 00:10:38,627 --> 00:10:40,347 Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't think too much of it when we 225 00:10:40,387 --> 00:10:42,467 Speaker 4: played the next year. That's so far away. But Alf 226 00:10:42,507 --> 00:10:46,227 Speaker 4: will always be honestly, Ilf will always been a mate first, 227 00:10:46,307 --> 00:10:48,307 Speaker 4: So it's all of us. I feel just the way 228 00:10:48,347 --> 00:10:51,107 Speaker 4: that he's all the way that I've seen him in 229 00:10:51,107 --> 00:10:53,267 Speaker 4: my six years at the Games. He's always been a 230 00:10:53,267 --> 00:10:56,547 Speaker 4: people person and he could talk pages about how good 231 00:10:56,587 --> 00:10:58,587 Speaker 4: he's good of a rugby brain he's got in the 232 00:10:58,627 --> 00:11:03,307 Speaker 4: way that he develops players. He's all in all just 233 00:11:03,307 --> 00:11:06,587 Speaker 4: just a good human. I think everyone try to key 234 00:11:06,667 --> 00:11:08,747 Speaker 4: one and one and he knows that. And like, we're 235 00:11:08,987 --> 00:11:10,787 Speaker 4: so got to see him go. We would have loved 236 00:11:10,827 --> 00:11:12,467 Speaker 4: to feed him at the Games, but I definitely would 237 00:11:12,467 --> 00:11:13,627 Speaker 4: have loved kick him at the Games on. I'd love 238 00:11:13,627 --> 00:11:15,787 Speaker 4: to have him here and working with them, But you know, 239 00:11:15,827 --> 00:11:18,667 Speaker 4: these opportunities have him for a reason, And definitely I'm 240 00:11:18,667 --> 00:11:20,707 Speaker 4: a massive one for his family and I'm just so 241 00:11:20,907 --> 00:11:25,667 Speaker 4: from that he's enjoying his coaching, and yeah, he's made 242 00:11:25,667 --> 00:11:28,587 Speaker 4: it clear like this season is his focus and right 243 00:11:28,627 --> 00:11:30,467 Speaker 4: now winning with the Hurricanes and having Dupes and Jordy 244 00:11:30,947 --> 00:11:33,307 Speaker 4: hold the trophy as his main focus, and we want 245 00:11:33,307 --> 00:11:35,507 Speaker 4: to honor him with that too. You know that I'm 246 00:11:35,547 --> 00:11:36,907 Speaker 4: not sure if he will ever be back in yellow 247 00:11:36,907 --> 00:11:38,707 Speaker 4: and black, so we just want to give him a 248 00:11:38,707 --> 00:11:39,187 Speaker 4: good scend off. 249 00:11:39,787 --> 00:11:42,107 Speaker 2: Congrat to on last night, Ruben enjoyed the weekend with 250 00:11:42,307 --> 00:11:44,467 Speaker 2: some family time.
