Yeah, she's just electric.
Yeah, and...
Like we're very lucky with our fan base in the stoop.
Like it's always quite big when we play at home and the kids always have their signs out and they're always kind of shouting for her and whether it's cowboy hats or whatever it is, they're always on the sideline and they have different signs for us all.
So yeah, they really care about this team too.
Yeah, I think it's challenging.
It's obviously very different to Ireland, but I think like a bit of challenge never hurt anyone and I'm willing to learn from it.
Well I think it'll be interesting this campaign because I think there's a few things that probably marry up with what Quinns are doing at the minute whether it's striking when we're in the 22 and try and get more points which I think at Quinns we're probably one of the better teams in the league at doing that when we get into a 22 or whether it's just keeping ball alive because yeah if you can get behind a defence it's very hard to stop so yeah I think this campaign will be interesting to kind of see how a few bits go but
Yeah, and I think at Quinns, there's a lot of the forwards that are able to act as nearly backs because they just back our handling and our ability, whether it's in channels or that kind of thing, to just do it.
And yeah, it kind of just works for us in that way.
I don't think I'll push Dana.
I could imagine she'll probably have my head.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I wouldn't even say I had much homesickness.
Like, yeah, I don't think I'd class myself as a homebird once I'm busy.
So, yeah, like, probably that first week or two was the toughest because, obviously, torn MCL, broken collarbone, new medical staff, new group.
Like, I didn't know anyone, really, to be honest.
So...
All of that, plus not being on the field, because obviously, like as a player, you get to know people a little bit better when you're actually on field.
Yeah, exactly.
