00:00James, we've got carols going on, or Christmas songs in the background, it's getting a bit

00:06of a festive feel to it, how are you looking forward to the Boxing Day again?

00:09Yeah, it's getting us ready for the Boxing Day game after Christmas, training's going

00:14really good at the minute and can't wait to get out there, get playing with some of the

00:18new boys, big coops here behind us, having a crack as always, but no, I can't wait.

00:24You impressed with the new signers that have come in, there's some big bodies coming in

00:28the forwards, isn't there?

00:29Yeah, there's some big bodies in the forwards and in the backs as well, Hawley and Siva,

00:33I think they're bigger than half of the middles, especially bigger than me, so no, I'm looking

00:38forward to playing with all them boys and I can't wait.

00:41And obviously a big season for you coming up, end of last season you had a run of games

00:47playing as an interchange middle, looking forward to getting back into playing a bit

00:52further out wide?

00:53Yeah, looking forward to getting back playing, obviously back row is probably my preferred

00:57position, but I'll play whatever's best for the team.

01:00I just want to get out there, play, enjoy it all, that's the main thing, focus for this

01:05year.
