00:00We knew we got, like we played some big games and we got some good fitness out of that and we're probably a bit battle hardened I suppose, but yeah we just probably just had to play a bit of footy and stop giving away silly errors, doing errors and defending our errors and yeah we got probably Brado's intercept, well Brado made an error, but he got an intercept off the scrum probably made up for that, but that was a bit of luck, but then we started playing a bit of footy and yeah just got it right and played the footy down the right end of the field.
00:29It's pretty tight in the first half and they obviously come to play, we knew they were going to come at us, my message to the guys and the leadership group was not to get involved in that because hopefully we're playing finals and we don't want to see anyone getting sent off and stuff like that, it was more about just being disciplined and playing the footy we like to play.
00:55We'd been defending our draw line really well and they had a couple of cuts there at the end there sort of thing and the boys aimed up again there too, but still putting too much pressure on ourselves, but yeah it's just about maintaining our discipline, that was the message, not getting involved in any of that rubbish, we knew it was a big game, our guys, there was a bit of passion there behind it after what happened last game, but yeah just got our disciplines right.
