00:00 What's the logistics of it?

00:01 Yeah, it'll be just like any other normal week.

00:03 We'll prepare this week, we'll have a normal two day lead in, and then we'll head down

00:08 and business as usual.

00:09 Yeah, I'm sure the lads will be watching it on the phones or tellies on Saturday and

00:14 then we'll head down and yeah, business as usual.

00:17 Do you think it's a good concept?

00:19 It works in rugby league and it works in the AFL, but this one probably doesn't have the

00:25 same fanfare as those two had yet.

00:27 Is it something that has to be built, do you think?

00:29 Well look, it's the first time they're trying it.

00:31 I think the way in which they've done it in terms of making the grand final what it is

00:36 now, I think that's brilliant because I feel like your ladder position come the end of

00:41 the season, it should favour where you play and who you play.

00:46 And then to counteract that, to have something like they're doing at United this weekend,

00:51 I think it's the best avenue going forward for everyone involved, fans, clubs and players.

00:59 So yeah, for us, for us year doing it, it's been a great success for AFL and NRL, so I

01:03 can't see it having a negative effect on us.
