00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: five first time and an old guy called Johnson, who

6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: would have thought coach Stacy Jones is back with the

7
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:14,760

14
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: connected closely as a group. So I thought we'll had

00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: to be sunny.

20
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,520

26
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: there isn't there people to sell out the game itself.

27
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,000

51
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: He is? He's a big boy. He's been in a

52
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: system that's really developed his game, you know, in the

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: Melbourne Storm system where you know, they took their time

54
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: with him and developing him. He had had a year

55
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: and reserve grade and a bit of football last year

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: and and he just came on this year, so you know,

57
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: very well deserved to be a part of the Kiwis.

58
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: And what about you, Stacy, are you feeling a bit

59
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: of pressure given you're a bit newish to the job

60
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff is there?

61
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: You know? Yeah, look there's always pressure in these positions.

62
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: But I don't feel as well as we've prepped well

63
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: and done the best weekend, I feel no confident that,

64
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: you know, we can put together a performance. You know,

65
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: I've got a really good, good group of people around me,

66
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: and then the other coaches, bars and our trainers, and

67
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: then I've got a really good leadership group led by

68
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: Captain James she Harris. So I feel comfortable with what

69
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:08,600
