Yeah, yeah, I'm 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.600 excited to hear it as well. At the moment you 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.199 were out an injury. What's the injury? 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.400 Yeah, just a groin, a grade grade one kind of 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.480 strained though, but I've got a scan on it. 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:10.960 It wasn't. 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:12.800 It was like they thought it was a strain. 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.560 It was grade one low and then kind of I've 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:17.600 been a bit more jointy, so that's why I kind 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.920 of pulled me back a few more weeks. Yeah, but 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.880 hopefully on track to return next week or week after. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.960 But at the moment it's feel a lot better. So yeah, 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:27.039 positive news. 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:28.720 What can you even do for a groin? Just a 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:29.839 lot of message. 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.520 Literally, yeah, I mean even like you can't get in 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.600 there with much pressure, just I guess heaps of glute 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:41.040 work getting those hips strong and yeah, just keeping a 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:41.800 low key at home. 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.679 Hey, how does scan work? Like I take it you 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.840 don't just get a left down to Auckland Hospital and 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.720 sit in the sit in the emergency room with everyone, 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.040 I'm waiting for a scan. Do you have a little 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:53.760 backdoor access or something? Yeah? 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:54.800 Question though. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.160 We so we actually get scanned out at Saint John's 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.720 and that's literally am I eye. But they book us 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.320 in there as fast as they can. However, if there's 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.560 someone's booked in, then we obviously have to wait a 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.360 few days, but they get us in there quite fast 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.800 and it's in and out pretty much, so we're pretty 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.640 lucky we get that that front or service in and 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.120 out straight away, and it's it's pretty it's pretty seamless 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:16.840 way we get it done. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:18.160 So it's pretty cool. 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.160 And yeah, because I always get interested when the commentator 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.880 is halfway through a game, they go sport, We've spoken 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.520 to someone that's a it's a pateler. Yeah, yeah, there, 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.320 I'm going, how do they know you know, you're just 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:31.679 looking at you hobbling off? 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:32.839 Yeah, nah, for sure. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.280 I think on the sidelines, the physios do some testing 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.720 and stuff straight away, so it's pretty much just their 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.399 kind of take on. Okay, they test and it's a 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.360 it's a low grade growing train or if they're testing 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.880 the knee, they and and they're pretty good to be honest, like, 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.440 they know straight away obviously the expertise, so they're good 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.000 at what they do. 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.280 And with the hi as, how does that work? Do 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.480 you do you have a different set of questions to everyone. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.760 Yeah, as questions. I feel like, yeah, it's questions. But 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.320 then sometimes however, then I all can just say, hang on, 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.919 it's like it's a CAT one straight away, which is yeah, 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.720 which is unusual sometimes because the boys might feel okay 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.360 and they get up, but then they say, no cat one. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:14.359 You can't even do the testing. 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.720 And that's just what they've taken off the vision of. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:17.640 Yeah, yeah. 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.200 I think it looks like if Herb Dean from the 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.520 UFC would to stop the fight, then that's probably a 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.320 CAT one. I think the other one is when the 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.880 hands go and then they start throwing up the gang signs, 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.160 then that's sort of a qestions that they ask you that. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.679 So they asked you to read the months backwards. 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:35.440 I struggle with it. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.800 That's pretty like that's the easy one for me. The 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.360 hard one for me is they give you the numbers 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.760 as well. So but like they give you numbers, so 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.040 they'll go up to like three numbers, so one, two, three, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:47.680 Then then you got to repeat that backwards. But they 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.840 go all the way up to like six numbers, so 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.520 it might be like four, five, six, seven, eight nine, 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.600 and then you got to repeat it backwards and they 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.080 do that about five six times. 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.560 That's the hardest one. I find hard And then I. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.920 Can do that without a hidden it's so do they 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.800 make it easy maybe for some of the team that 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.920 was struggling a bit on the best of days. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.160 No, it's all the same. Yeah, so's it's tough. And 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.600 then what else they do? You get ten words to 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.720 remember as well when you have to so like they 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.760 say ten words, you got to remember those words. And 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.240 then they actually like after all the testing actually for 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:22.440 those ten words again. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.159 I could again that this could be a good fishing scam. Okay, 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.760 so if you can you give me your credit card 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.680 and the three c CV number. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:34.840 Yeah, literally the number your birthday. So they asked the 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.880 same questions for a prop that they'd ask for like 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:37.400 a half back. 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.520 Yeah. Oh that's brutal. That is that is tough. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.320 Actually, it's just been announced that you guys are heading 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.520 off the Vegas for the opening round next year. We're 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.039 working on getting ourselves over there as well. How excited 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.159 are you to go over to Vegas? 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.239 Yeah, no, it's cool. 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.840 It's it's obviously something that's pretty pretty awesome for the 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.520 club to be able to experience that. At the same time, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.800 it's like we don't look too far ahead. I know 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.720 she's been tough, but at the same time, it's something 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:03.960 that we don't want to look too far ahead, but 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.040 it's it's also exciting for our fans, for for our 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.120 team as well, and obviously to be able to go 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.280 over there and play. I guess it's that's where that's 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.080 where everyone wants to be playing over in America. So 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.480 it's exciting times ahead. 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.080 I saw that the status and Marius fans over there 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.640 this year and we weren't even playing. So wait, do 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:22.160 we imagine? 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.640 Yeah, it's going to be Yeah, it's going to be crazy. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.760 Who's the most concerning player to take over to Las Vegas? 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:28.000 There? 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.040 You're flying into Vegas. Yeah, you're getting off the plane. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.560 Who's the one that the coach is like, hey, watch 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:35.680 yourself over the next week. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:36.080 Yeah. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.280 No, it's a good question. Our crew is our is 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.799 pretty tame, to be honest. Even even the single boys 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.400 are quite quite chill. But I'll be looking forward to 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.640 see rocoberry experiences of time over there. I think you 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.960 will enjoy it, so for sure, for sure, So it'll 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.880 be exciting to see him over there and just you're 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:56.400 enjoying it. 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.599 Just before the game against the Raiders, they you know, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.400 they blow their big traditional horn. Just behind the horn, 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.000 there was a guy rapping a can cone. What's the 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.200 wildest thing you've seen at Mount Smart Stadium? 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.200 I've seen that. I was. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.599 I heard you guys talking about on the ACC commentary 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.880 and I said, are these boys just wasted or what's 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.640 going on? So like I didn't realize what was going on. 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.960 Then one of the boys showed me our training on Saturday. 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.599 They said, no, no, showed me a photo just ripping 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.960 a big one, and I said, lee, but yeah, no, 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:34.400 I haven't seen I mean, yeah, yeah, but like our 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.240 fans are real passionate, so there's not that kind of 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:41.080 stuff at our games, but just how passionate our fans 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.000 are and how loud they are, I guess. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:47.240 Yeah, people like we We went along to the All 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.440 Blacks England game, right, and I was amazed how quiet 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.159 I'm used to going to coming to Mount Smart. And 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.920 I was amazed how quiet I was. And there still 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.680 would have been almost double the amount of people fitt 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.560 into Mount Smart. But it just made me appreciate how 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.480 awesome the Mount Smart faithful are win, lose or draw, 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.440 they're here party and they're here supporting the boys. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.440 Yeah for sure, And even like on the back of 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.440 last year, like this year's been a tough year for us, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.880 but they're still getting out, Like the stadiums are sold 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.760 out and they're showing their support and love for us, 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.040 So it means a lot to us. And then when 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.600 you're running out to a packed out mount Smart, it's 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.360 kind of daunting for our position, like coming here first 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:27.720 of wall to travel in New Zealand, and then to 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.840 play against us with the packed out stadium. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.280 It's a hard job to get done. And I've been 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:33.320 on the back end of it as well. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.320 Before I came to the Worries, so I've experienced it 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.360 on both fans, and I much preferred to be on 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:37.680 this end. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:37.960 Yeah. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.280 How is it with the pressure though, Like, because obviously 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.200 the year is not panning out exactly how you would 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.320 have thought at the beginning, it must you must feel 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.960 an odd pressure though, like going the fans are all here, 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.120 We've got to go hard out But then sometimes the 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.600 harder you try, the worst city ends up going for it. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.040 No, for sure, I think for us it's more frustrating. 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.080 I think it's more than in pressure that we expect 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.320 so much from ourselves and we work so hard and 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.040 we expect the best from ourselves, especially what we did 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.000 last year. And you know that, and we know what 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.000 we're capable of when we put our best team out 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.600 there and when we're playing our best. However, at times 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.160 this year just hasn't clicked, and it's it's frustrating for us, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.400 you know. And like you said about the fans, they 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.840 just come out and they just turned up for us 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.160 week in, week out, and that gives us a bit 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.840 more drive. We don't feel the pressure more so for them, 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.480 but it's more the internal pressure because we know what 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.720 we're capable of as a team, as a club as well, 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.480 and it's been disappointing at times this year, to be honest. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.200 But yeah, I mean for myself, I always say it. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:36.920 I reckon we've got the best fan base in the 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:41.240 whole NRL and I seen that out at Magic Round 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.720 as well. They turned up, bro, and it was just 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.040 crazy the support we got. I think it was one 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.560 side of the grands of the of the stadium was 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.000 just going off and that was an awesome experience. 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.319 He talks about not looking too far ahead before. 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.800 Are you guys already starting to talk about the Tigers 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.439 game this weekend or you just focusing on what you 0:08:58.520 --> 0:08:59.120 guys are going to do? 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:00.000 Yeah, for sure. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.080 Are you know we are? 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.480 The boys came in today and then we did some 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.280 review from the game against other Raiders, had to look 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.280 at that and then went out and trained and today 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.720 was more so about us to fix what we did 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.839 on the weekend, and then I think when we're coming 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.840 on Wednesday, that'll be more so prep against Tigers and 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.920 and then get some get some some defensive movements down 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.040 pat as well against them, because you know, seeing their 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.880 game on the weekend, they can score some points, but 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.319 similar to us at the moment, they can make make 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.280 some errors at at times, stupid air as at time. 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:33.960 So I think it's going to be a game that 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.160 we want to win, but it's going to be a 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:36.800 tough one as well. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.240 But we're it's looking like the way that Tigers are 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.840 shaping up, and then where we are with injury. Yeah, 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.920 it's going to be some exciting young boys out on 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.000 the park, oh. 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.920 For sure, Dian. That's that's what's important for us. 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.040 I mean, it puts a smile on the face knowing 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.320 that some of these young boys want to come in 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:51.040 and get a crack. 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.800 Because they all deserve it. They all work really hard. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.360 Yeah, so I'm excited to see those boys come out 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.040 and play. It's always awesome to see them get a 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.480 get a crack at that, putting that jump r. So yeah, 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:01.520 I'm excited to see those boys. 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:05.360 Does it boost the you know, boys like yourself who 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.720 have played a lot of games, does it boost you 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.520 up when you see someone like Liqua Halaesima coming out 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.240 and just blowing the doors off? Does it really camp 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:14.960 every one up? 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:15.440 For sure? 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.400 And like when you see Lequa, he's real chilled at training, 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.960 Like he just goes through the gears and through the 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.599 motions at training and you're like, oh, like is he 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.599 even trying? And then you're like, man, And then he 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.040 gets on the field, bro, and he just he gets 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.000 that ball in his hands. It's like a different beast. 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.760 He just you know what I mean, he just knows 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.240 when it's game day. He's so ready for it. And 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.760 seeing boys like that a z Ion as well. Zion's going 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.000 to be like massive future of the club, Arlie as well, 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:42.320 and plays like. 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:43.719 Roco that's played a lot of footy as well in 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:44.520 the last couple of years. 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.920 So it's exciting times for the club in terms of 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.880 our young boys coming through. And then for me to 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:51.640 be able to be there and watch those boys do it. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.040 It's it's it's so cool. 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:54.960 I do like the way that everyone gets cheat up 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.080 for someone's debut. I guess because you can remember it. 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.880 I look because you don't have Instagram, but I saw 0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:02.440 that there was a post one of the Morris brothers 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:03.440 posted for your debut. 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.200 Yeah, so they were obviously playing when new debut there 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.280 for the dogs. Yeah, yea love the Morris Yeah. 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.000 If they walked in here right now, Derek, and you 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.800 can tell them apart, yes you could. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.400 Yeah, what's the tell? How do you know? 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.200 Josh is a bit more Josh is taller, I think, okay, 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.440 and Bemo's kind of walks like with a bit more 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:22.199 of a hunch. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.760 Right, but he's trying to say Josh has got a 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:25.640 neck and bre. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:34.400 Yeah, Josh's more outgoing, yeah right, and then was kind 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.040 of just chilled. Yeah, very like legends of the game, 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.920 to be honest, I was pried to play with them. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:39.640 Yeah, definitely. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.400 Olympics starting and jeez, I think like later on this week, yeah, 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.040 not too far away. Is there a sport that you 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:46.480 like watching when the Olympics fire up? 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.920 Obviously the one hundred meters sprint. Yeah, yeah, I've been 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.880 watching that that sprint show at the minute, so I'm 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:57.520 just seeing it's on Netflix. So watching that Marcel Jacob's run, 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.400 a few of the Americans coming up too, so looking 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:00.840 forward to it. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.880 To be honest, if you had to have a crack 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.319 at making the middle and one of the sports, it 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.199 would be just go one hundred meters spread. 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:07.959 Nah, I wouldn't. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:09.760 Maybe if I was a bit younger, I would have, 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.040 but at the minute probably not. Maybe something long distance, 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:14.720 maybe the four hundred eight hundred. 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.320 Maybe I'll give it a crack. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:16.480 You know. 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.079 I reckon Jazz Stavanger would be really good at the 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.280 rhythmic gymnastics, you know, like doing the flips across the 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.240 thing in a little you reckon a little swimsuit and 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.760 running and stuff. It just strikes me as a go 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:30.680 because I can. 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.280 More have like a shot putter say that. You know 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.720 what I mean is a bit as the ball. 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.680 A bit stocky, you know, a bit stocky jazzy. So 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.199 I reckon, Yeah, I reckon. 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:45.439 Valerie Adams could probably shot put jest. To be honest, 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:46.200 we've lost that. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:53.360 Thank you very much for your time. Good it. Thank you. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.680 All right, welcome back into the podcast. It's a real 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.880 honor and a privilege to have Jazz Tavanga join us 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:01.480 in the Secret our Jazz are getting on that. 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.280 Good mate, good story. Has the rehab gun. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.360 I'm not on reheab great. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:08.680 Researches. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.120 Here's a couple of beers before he sat. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.840 Yeah, I mean yeah, Look, the commentary on Friday Night 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.600 was a different thing this time Stone cult. 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.520 So but no, just so, the Hammy's feeling all good. 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.760 Yeah, broke Hammi's feeling good. Yeah, body's feeling all good. 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.679 Actually, I've always wanted to ask you when you come 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.480 on to the park. It's always exciting for me because 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.480 you come on one hundred and ten percent, right, Is 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.319 there ever a point where you've got to sort of 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.480 mitigate it so you don't go too hard out? 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.600 Because no, I think in my earlier years, I'm just 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.640 talking a couple of years ago, I was guilty of, 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:44.320 you know, going too hard, and then I'd get caught 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.280 up in the emotional side of it, and I'll get angry, 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.480 and then then I'll be seen red and that's when 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.719 I'd if up and probably cost me ten minutes and 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.040 the ben a fit too many times, but I had 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.400 to turn it down a bit, so yeah, finding a 0:13:58.440 --> 0:13:59.640 good balance at the moment. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.280 Yeah, Like do you listen to music to g yourself 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.040 up or to calm yourself down before the game? 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.560 But both At the start, I'm trying to trying to 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.160 gem myself up, and then like just before I run out, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:16.520 try and listen to Uncle Bob, Yeah calming down? 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.040 What do you go to to gen yourself up? At 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.920 Lincoln Park fifty. 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:28.640 Gang? But I'm not do you get given like a 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.480 specific game plan just before you're going to go out 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.200 or is it you vibing the game and what needs 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:34.680 to happen. 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.280 My role is pretty simple. It's just run hard, tagle hard. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:39.840 I feel like the bench has got to offer a 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.560 lot of energy. So when I come on on my 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.240 smaller body in the middle, there off a bit more 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:49.360 leg speed, and yeah, just go hard for as long 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.400 as I can and then when I'm to put my 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.120 hand up and bring Adam back on. Is it different 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.000 when you start, Yeah, one hundred percent. When you start, 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.120 you've got to sort of like pace yourself. You obviously 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.280 want to get a good start, but that first twenty minutes, 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.640 that grind, it's different. It's a different beast age. I'll 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.240 come on when everyone's after that twenty minutes, when everyone's left, 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.160 then I can come on and I look a bit 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.520 faster than everyone else. But yeah, that first twenty minutes 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:13.360 is pretty hard. 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.720 And your combination with Walker coming off the bench there, 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.560 do you like getting fired up with him coming out together? 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.480 Yeah, we had a good thing going the board brods. Yeah, 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.720 but he's he's grown his air back, so that's gone 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.720 down the drain and he's starting he's taking over toy, 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.680 So yeah, no more board broads this thinkfall. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.120 What's it like when you get into a rhythm of 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.880 playing then due to injuries in that thing shuffle round 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.480 and you're playing a different role, he's playing a different role. 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.840 Does it take a mental toll or is it just 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.040 switching places around? 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.120 I wouldn't say it takes a mental toll. Sometimes it does, 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.560 especially when your key players are out. It's a bit deflating. 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.840 But we're like a next man, not mentality. We have 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.360 full confidence with whoever comes in. But it does suck 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:03.840 when when of your goes down. But yeah, just everyone's 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.000 got a job to do, so try and get it. 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.120 But then it must be so awesome when you're down 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.080 on troops and I think back to like that Penrith game, 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.480 major ground. Then when the young boys like contained steps up. 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.840 And yeah, one hundred, when the young followers come come 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:23.680 through and shine, it's a good feeling. I'm so happy 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.280 for them. And the club's in a good spot, Like 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.280 we've got a lot of good young fellows coming through, 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.320 and I think in a couple of years, like you'll 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.440 start to see the fruits of all these young fellows. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.400 What do you reckon? The biggest step up is for 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:39.560 those boys going from New South Wales Cup to playing 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.000 first grade is the game day preparation must be different 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:44.720 and it's just a whole other scale. 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.800 Yeah, when they step up, like we try and not 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.560 make them feel like it's a big jump because we 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.680 want them to be confident and even though it is 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:58.080 a big jump with the intensity and you've got to 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.680 be on twenty four to seven otherwise there's too many 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.760
