00:00 We haven't named our team as yet. We've made one change, obviously Matt is forced out and
00:06 Billy Dowling will come into the side. I won't give him much today. We're in a unique position
00:11 where our side is actually named at the same time as our opposition for Thursday night
00:16 game. So they won't be squad or it will just be our team named. But we felt the weekend
00:22 was a really disappointing hit out for us that we want to bounce back from and we're
00:26 confident we're going to bounce back as well.
00:28 We see Tex out there at the moment doing what looks to be a fitness test. Is there some
00:31 optimism that he will play? Is it really all about this now?
00:34 We're confident that Tex will be okay. We're just mindful of the five day break and I think
00:40 most teams will be talking through something similar when we go for a five day into a Thursday
00:44 night. For your players that are 30 years and over it becomes quite a challenge. He's
00:50 unique though, the big guy. He loves a challenge and he also loves a big stage and Thursday
00:54 night's a big day.
