Transcript

00:00Just your general assessment of the game first, please.

00:03Poor start, full of spirit, like they had a go.

00:11Yeah, just the start, really.

00:13Paying a little bit of service to it, like we spoke about starting well.

00:17Didn't start well last week and kind of carried the baggage over.

00:21It cost us in the end, but showed them some of their in-between.

00:27The second half, we were in it and then a couple of soft tries again

00:36and put ourselves back two steps off.

00:38There's enough in there, there's a team in there.

00:43It's just finding that little bit of relief and grit

00:47just to stay disciplined and professional about the start of the game.

00:52Did you give yourself too much of a moment to climb after that first five minutes?

00:57Yeah, when you go 12-0 down, it just feels different.

01:02Even though it's not that far away, it's only two tries.

01:05But compounding errors with ill-discipline and missed tackles,

01:10just absolutely the energy.

01:13But then the found energy when they got a sniff

01:16and felt like they could do something within it.

01:19So it's there, it's just mindset and finding ways to tune in right from the get-go.

01:26We saw you had Brad with you in the first half up alongside you.

01:29Have you had a chance to ask him after the game what he made of it overall?

01:33No, it was just as to my own.

01:35It's like he's just come along and introduced himself

01:39and made a quick chat on the way here when we picked him up from Worsley.

01:44He's come in with a clean slate and that goes for all of us, for our staff and players.

01:51I've said last week and building up into this game

01:57is that we'll all support him.

01:59We want what's best for the club.

02:01Looking forward to getting stuck in, to working with him

02:05and getting ready for the next one.
