00:00Yeah, we certainly went back to the drawing board after the two losses.

00:03I think it kind of forces you to go internal and look at the things that you probably haven't been focusing on.

00:08It's been a bit of a strange season for us, you know, having eight wins and now back-to-back losses.

00:12And yeah, I think it's a bit of a kick up the bum, to be honest.

00:15And I don't mind that extra pressure that you feel after that,

00:18because I think it can uncover things that you've probably been glazing over after a win,

00:23even though you might not have played that well.

00:24It's okay to feel like we're being hunted, but I think we work better when we feel like we're the hunters.

00:30So yeah, I think switching that mindset of not being protective of the top of the ladder,

00:35protective of the eight wins that we've had and changing it into more of a dominant mindset

00:39that we want to attack every team that we've come up against.

00:41And I think we'll be fine.

00:43Yeah, you know, mathematically, it's not out of the equation.

00:45Obviously, it will be hard for us, you know, left it pretty late in the season to be fine in good form.

00:50And it will kind of happen on, I guess, other results as well.

00:53But for us, we've just got to take it each game at a time.

00:56All we can control is getting more wins on the board and everything else is out of our control.

01:00So yeah, definitely just looking forward to the derby this week.

01:02And if we want to make it, we just need to keep winning.

01:04So hopefully bring that same form from the last two games into the rest of the season.
