00:00Thanks for joining us, Leo. Congratulations on making the Rebels. How are you feeling about that opportunity?

00:05Yes, good. Thank you for having me, Justine. It's a big accomplishment. I wasn't really expecting it.

00:10I didn't do testing day, which was a bit of an upset, but yeah, it's good to get picked. It's a hard team to get into.

00:18And what role are you hoping to play if you do manage to make your debut?

00:21In the trial games, I'll play a bit of a wing and mid, so hopefully around there, even half-back, I'll be packaged anywhere.

00:28And this year, or last season, I should say, you had a bit of an injury setback. Can you tell us about that?

00:32Yeah, I broke a bone in my arm, which set back about eight weeks. I was in the sling for a while. I had to get the movement back roughly again.

00:41And what did that teach you on the sidelines, having that extended break?

00:44It taught me a lot about the game, like how to play it and everything, or, yeah, to analyse it and everything.

00:51I helped up in the box one game, which was good.

00:54No worries. Best of luck for the season ahead.

00:56Yes, thank you.
