00:00Do you know what? I'm really, really pleased with my boys. I thought they worked tirelessly, I thought they were really committed.

00:09The scoreline, I feel, I don't know what you still feel, but it didn't reflect the contest.

00:15That game was never a 20 odd point win, it was close. I just talked to a couple of the Leeds boys and they were in the contest and they know it.

00:24Four tries from kicks there at the end, four tries from kicks.

00:30They took their opportunities, sport and rugby league is about moments in it and they just had a couple more moments than us.

00:39There's lots and lots of positives for us to take from that game, the way that we worked hard, the way that we scrambled defensively.

00:47We very rarely had opportunities with the ball in hand, we didn't get many opportunities down their end to really create any opportunities.

00:54But they worked hard, that's all I ask, that they commit to each other.

00:58So pleased, obviously not pleased because we lost, but where we're going, the result's always important, it's always the most important thing.

01:07But we can, you know, you can take a defeat if you've left everything out there and I think they did that.

01:15So a bit of adversity, we lost Tom and Mullins, a concussion and an injury and then we had a simbin but it didn't disrupt us.

01:24We just, you know, 7-6 I think it were and it's a proper contest there.

01:28But yeah, we didn't win but we can take what's from it.

01:33All right.

01:42Yeah.
