On a personal note, being a leader, it taught me that I have to trust and sort of lean on the leaders around me a lot more.
I tried to take everything on my shoulders and run with it and fix it all myself.
But yeah, in the Auckland team as well, I had guys like Angus Tarvell, Josh Berry, Josh Fusitua that I could have leaned on.
But yeah, I sort of tried to take it all on myself and fix it all myself.
And that obviously isn't the way to go about it.
But yeah, definitely better for it.
And like I say, it was very stressful times.
But then at the end of the season, when you get a time to sort of sit back and reflect on it, that's when you take all those learnings in.
Early on in the week I try to not let it play on my mind too much because early on I like to make sure that I've got all of my things in place in order to nail the game.
So yeah, Monday, Tuesday was all about myself, making sure that I know what my role is, what I want out of the game for myself.
And then later on during the week you sort of get a feel of where the group is at.
You obviously want to feel for that the whole way throughout but at the start you obviously need to put yourself first and make sure that you nail yourself because as I say when you play well yourself that's half the job done but then yeah it's just about getting a feel for the group and connecting with the leaders around you as well and making sure that they're all over their stuff talking to Derry about the line outs and Stevie around how he wants to play the game and
what he feels like the boys need more of or sort of the focus areas that we need to focus on and then come game day just make sure that we're in the right mindset because by then all the clarity and stuff is done and then it's just about getting into the right frame of mind in order to play the game and
We always knew that it was going to be war against the Chiefs, especially down there.
I thought we started off well, had a big defensive set straight after halftime too, and then a couple of moments didn't go our way and everything went the Chiefs' way.
Finals footy is a different beast, so we needed to make sure they were on top of it.
The system hasn't changed at all, but 100% and goes back to the start of our chat around game time and getting used to the players around you.
And when they're constantly chopping and changing here, it does sort of change the dynamic of the team, especially on defense a bit because
Once you play with someone for three or four weeks, there's some unspoken cues that you can just read in terms of what they're going to do.
But then obviously when someone new slots in here or there, you have to communicate everything.
