00:00 Next week, that's a bit more serious than the Leeds one on Boxing Day.
00:05 Yeah, I thought we were really good for 40 minutes against Leeds.
00:09 The team started getting moved around a little bit in the second half and they opened us up over a 10 minute period.
00:15 But yeah, this is a game that Wigan's young, kids are class and it'll be a mixed team from them I think.
00:22 But we just want to get out there and show what we can do, get ourselves ready for the game against York the week after.
00:30 The main thing is it's Matty Asher's testimonial, he's given a massive amount to Wakefield Trinity,
00:36 so he deserves that to be an awesome night.
00:39 I hope everybody in the area gets around it and supports him, he deserves it.
00:44 You've obviously not worked with Matty for that long, but you've coached against him often enough.
00:50 How highly do you rate him?
00:52 Matty Asher.
00:53 He's a quality player, isn't he? I've sort of challenged him to bring some of the things back into his game that have probably slipped out a little bit.
01:02 Particularly as a back-rower, he's one of the best short-side players that I've seen.
01:07 Great line-runner, I've been really impressed with him as a bloke and as a player, as a professional.
01:14 So I'm looking forward to his return and I hope his year goes really well for him on and off the field.
