00:00Yeah, not, I guess, unexpected from our perspective. We kind of knew that it's something that the
00:09league would look at and it's kind of, we need to let the process sort of play out now
00:14and, you know, Rodrigo's well aware of the ramifications of any outcome from the panel,
00:23but we'll just wait and see what they come out with.
00:25In terms of Sonny and Rodri, I think, you know, they had their kind of discussion about
00:34the whole incident and I think both players understand and respect each other's position
00:39and Rodri's already, you know, apologised for what he said and, you know, Sonny has
00:46accepted that and accepted the fact that, you know, one of his teammates and, you know,
00:51a person he's close to has made a mistake. I've said before that, you know, I mean,
00:57for me it's not just about punishment, it's the opportunity to, you know, for people to
01:04atone, to learn, because if we're talking about having a, you know, a society that's
01:10kind of understanding and tolerant of everything, we also must show that, you know, to people
01:16who make mistakes, as Rodri has made in his time, but we kind of know him very well, a
01:22lot better than most because we spend every day with him and we understand the kind of
01:25person he is and we understand that, you know, even though he's a great guy and a fantastic
01:31teammate, he's made a big error this time and he's got to, you know, take the punishment,
01:36but also we need to make sure that we give him the opportunity to atone for it and learn
01:41from it and hopefully others learn from it as well.
