00:00James, we've got carols going on, or Christmas songs in the background, it's getting a bit
00:06of a festive feel to it, how are you looking forward to the Boxing Day again?
00:09Yeah, it's getting us ready for the Boxing Day game after Christmas, training's going
00:14really good at the minute and can't wait to get out there, get playing with some of the
00:18new boys, big coops here behind us, having a crack as always, but no, I can't wait.
00:24You impressed with the new signers that have come in, there's some big bodies coming in
00:28the forwards, isn't there?
00:29Yeah, there's some big bodies in the forwards and in the backs as well, Hawley and Siva,
00:33I think they're bigger than half of the middles, especially bigger than me, so no, I'm looking
00:38forward to playing with all them boys and I can't wait.
00:41And obviously a big season for you coming up, end of last season you had a run of games
00:47playing as an interchange middle, looking forward to getting back into playing a bit
00:52further out wide?
00:53Yeah, looking forward to getting back playing, obviously back row is probably my preferred
00:57position, but I'll play whatever's best for the team.
01:00I just want to get out there, play, enjoy it all, that's the main thing, focus for this
01:05year.
01:06And positive signs for a good season coming up, do you think?
01:09Sorry, what did you say?
01:10Positive signs for a good season coming up?
01:12Yeah, definitely, I think the way we're training at the minute and the standards and the way
01:16we're going, I'm really looking forward to it.
