00:00 He deserves to go out in a grand final. I think he's shown unbelievable, how much he's

00:07 an unbelievable player across his career. Like I say, he deserves to go out in a grand

00:12 final but at the same time, we'll show him ultimate respect by giving him the best of

00:17 us. Spoke to Sam Friday night after he obviously got the win. Told him he'd still got it. And

00:26 then he gave me a cheeky text back on the Saturday as well and we just said we look

00:29 forward to seeing each other next week. Not spoke to Mickey, doesn't give him any words.

00:37 But yeah, I'm looking forward to coming up against them. They're both ultimate competitors.

00:42 We know what we're getting from them so we're going to have to more than match that.

00:44 Has Sam always had that competitive edge, even when he was younger, coming through and

00:48 winging it maybe?

00:50 I think it's bred into a lot of young lads at winging that. I think Sam stands out with

00:56 it but yeah, it's something that's bred into you when you're younger at winging and you're

00:59 brought through and you want to win, you want to compete and he was definitely one of the

01:04 main ones for that.

01:05 Is he one of those who wants to compete in everything, even away from rugby? That's what

01:09 he always says, that's even whatever he does.

01:11 Yeah, you could say so, yeah.

01:13 Stay tuned.
