00:00Chris Cowan, a chance at a second Premiership for Bungaree, 10 years down the track.
00:07It's probably a moment you didn't see coming.
00:10Never. We had our chances a few years back, but at my age, I'm 37 now, so I never even thought about it.
00:19Tell us about the memories of that flag that, coincidentally, you played alongside Joel May, all the two survivors from that Premiership.
00:27And do you admit that there were a few tears after today's game, to think that you're both going to be out there having a crack at another one?
00:33Yes, a lot of emotion involved today. It's just so good to be there again with Joel, and obviously we've got Jacko Murphy there as well, so he's around.
00:42Hopefully he gets a game, you never know. And I just can't fathom it.
00:48You've been given a role late in the season. Like last year, you sort of come from the clouds to an outsider anyway.
00:56Ryan Waite showed a lot of faith in you, and he's given you a big job to support Delos Martin in the RUC.
01:02You've reveled in it, and now, hopefully, there's a big reward just a week away.
01:07That's right. You can only hope. I've put the work in to get back, and Waite has shown a lot of faith in me, same as last year as well.
01:14I actually pulled out of the pre-win last year through injury, and then I felt like I let him down.
01:19To get the opportunity again showed my worth, I suppose, and I'll do my thing.
01:24You've stuck around. There's a lot of new faces that have come to the club in the last couple of years.
01:29Some big recruiting drives. We're seeing the fruits of those now.
01:33What are your thoughts going ahead, at a chance, at another premiership?
01:38We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but on our day, we're everybody's great side, so I'm just so happy to be part of it.
01:45There's all these young kids running around, and it makes me feel young. It's amazing.
