00:00 How much of a blow is Jurien Timber's injury to your ambitions this season?
00:06 Huge blow, especially for him because after just joining the club to have the injury that
00:13 he has, it's a huge disappointment for him, obviously for the team as in a big blow because
00:19 we recruited him with clear intentions and what he was bringing to the team was evident
00:24 and he's not going to be able to do it this season for us.
00:27 So we have to adapt, these things happen unfortunately and we have to move on.
00:32 How is he?
00:33 How is his reaction?
00:34 He's been very good to be honest, he's a special character.
00:39 He knows, I think he starts to realise the extent of the injury and the amount of time
00:44 he's going to be out but he's in a good place.
00:50 They are all willing to help him obviously and we are all very close to him but it's
00:55 going to be a long journey.
