00:00I'm here with Maitland captain Sam Kellow. Sam, tell us about Grand Final week. How's the preparations been?

00:04It's a little bit of a different feel from last year, having been there before.

00:08It's also good to have a third grade in the midst of Grand Final day.

00:12So, being able to experience that week with them is also very good.

00:16Last year, it was so to my expectation, it had been 24 years since Maitland won a first grade premiership.

00:20Have you been able to enjoy it a bit more this year, knowing that that box has been ticked?

00:24Oh, it never makes it any easier. Grand Final is a Grand Final. You want to win them all,

00:28but unfortunately, you always can't. So, it's a little bit of pressure.

00:32You've played each other, this will be your fifth time now, versus Meriwether for the season.

00:36What's key to victory on Saturday?

00:40I feel like the team that has the most players on the paddock for most of the game will get it done.
