00:00 What amount of effort into going to schools, communities, and they must be so proud of you being the boys today.

00:05 What do you have to say about it?

00:07 Firstly, it's not effort.

00:09 We love doing it.

00:11 It's part of our role as a club.

00:14 The players buy into it and they know 100% that it pays back and it affects you winning on the field

00:20 and it affects the momentum behind the club, which is a snowball effect, I think.

00:26 You're not separate to the community.

00:27 You're not separate to the clubs, the schools, the charities.

00:31 You're part of it and anyone who plays at this club will understand that.

00:38 Unfortunately, I've got a group of players who don't believe it anyway.

00:42 We've got good people.

00:43 Most of them have come through.

00:46 I have a local club.

00:47 Every one of our players has come through a community club and a school.

00:50 So to think that they're separate to it is silly.
