00:00Rod, fairly professional performance do you think?
00:04Yeah, we wanted to focus on our discipline. We had a couple of things that we wanted to be good at today.
00:12We didn't want the game to get loose. We needed to respect ourselves in the competition and those guys with their high completion.
00:20I thought our completion was really good. In those sort of games you get the tendency to want to play a little bit different.
00:28We still have a couple of penalties away, which we want to improve from our last game, which we can avoid.
00:35But overall, we're happy that we've got through that game now.
00:42But we also just want to make sure that we thank the opposition. They played the game in really good spirits.
00:47We've been being bleeding down the seam and just thanking them for coming up.
00:50They got a good experience out of it and hopefully it helps grow their club.
00:55They had a crack in the big sandbags, run hard off the kick-offs and they got their body in front.
01:00They played for 80 minutes. They should be proud of themselves.
01:03There won't be many teams that come here that try any harder than they do, will there?
01:08No, they try. Earlier they just kept turning up and felt physical, putting their bodies on the line.
01:14They're not a professional outfit and that's the difference.
01:17But we're grateful that they played the game in the right spirit.
01:23There was obviously concern with Jack.
01:25I think he's okay. It was an accident. The young bloke from the Warriors already made sure he was alright.
01:33They come with the right intentions.
01:35It looked like a foot injury.
01:38I think it's a bruise. It's just blown up from a bit of contact.
01:42The physio's pretty confident he's alright.
