00:00 What's the secret to your success?
00:07 I mean there is no secret, it's a lot of hard work and dedication, a lot of listening to Ryan because he's a good coach and he knows what he's doing.
00:16 But you know, it's honestly just a lot of hard work and dedication, literally that's all it is.
00:22 We're the same way every night and we're rewarded with another league title.
00:25 That's an overused phrase but consistency is always key when people win titles, people win championships.
00:30 That has been a massive element of your season again hasn't it?
00:34 Yeah, you know we haven't lost many games which is obviously a bonus and it helps a lot getting to this stage of the season with not many losses is massive.
00:43 So yeah I think the consistency is massive and it helped us get where we are right now.
00:50 I think you only lost back to back games once and that was against Hull in the cup semi-final.
00:55 There seemed to be a bit of a reset after that where you kind of had a look at yourselves and thought right we need to go again otherwise this league title might not be ours.
01:04 Was that the case really in a way?
01:06 Yeah, you know when we played Hull we were in a little bit of a slump I guess you could say.
01:10 But you know we passed that game on, we moved on as a team, we came together, we did a few bits together and we moved on and now we're here lifting the trophy at home.
01:19 So you know it's a really nice feeling.
01:21 Do you feel that you've proved a few people wrong this year?
01:23 Yeah definitely.
01:24 Definitely you know with the loss of some of the players everyone's going to doubt the next season.
01:30 It's hard to go back to back so I think we've proved a lot of people wrong and hopefully we can do it again next year.
