ballpark decision figures himself knock man matthew problem rest sorry sort sound taking understand
I have no problem with Matthew taking that deal, from the figures that I understand the ballpark to be. He's a young man who can set himself up for the rest of his life, so that's a sound decision on his behalf. You can't knock back that sort of money, but we're very sorry to see him go.
aiming certainly defend hard precisely watched
Around the ruck they certainly defend differently, but having watched just that one trial, it's hard to say precisely what they're aiming at.
clean coach everybody given guess injuries last slate
I guess with the new coach and given the injuries at the back end of last season, it's probably a clean slate for everybody in contention.
bit maybe
Maybe they can get a little bit ill-disciplined so we'll try and play down their end of the park.
bonus inside point score three
You score three times inside the first 30 (minutes) and the bonus point is there for the grab. We just didn't play particularly smart.
absolutely amount defensive puts work year
George's defensive work this year has been absolutely fantastic. If you look at the amount of work he puts in during a game, it's phenomenal.
break hard open quite skinny special stage suggest wins work
All of our wins have been pretty skinny wins and we've had to work hard for them. To look at our play, it's been quite unremarkable to this stage and I don't know that there's a lot there to suggest we're about to break open and do something special this weekend.
bike
You've really got to be on your bike for this game.
certainly easy specific strategies work
They've got some specific strategies defensively and they work for 80 minutes, so there is certainly no easy way through them.
absolutely bit contest football game style tackle ugly
It's a bit of an ugly game this year, all round. The open, free-flowing, try-for-try game is gone. The tackle contest is now intense. It's absolutely gripping football but it's a different style of play.
body dozen game games player starting super tough week
It's an enormously tough game in the forwards. Week in week out, the body contact, the collisions are enormous, so to think you can be a starting player week in week out, potentially over 15 Super 14 games and a dozen Tests, it's an unrealistic expectation.
ball chance last natural plenty running work year
If they play like they did last year we will have plenty of ball to work with, so it will give us a chance to play our natural running game.
bit both extra given opportunity physically players strength work
The players are fresher both physically and mentally, but it's also given us an opportunity to do a bit of extra work on our conditioning and strength this week.
goes track tuesday
We'll see how he goes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's on track to be on the bench.
