But it's not throw the ball about because that will get the job done.

And it's certainly not keep hold of the ball and don't pass and just finish with high completion because that will get the job done either.

I'm working 23 hours a day.

My family's not very happy about it, but I'm trying to watch as much as I can in Super League.

Not so much just watch players and find out where they're at,

But just watch the game over there and see how the game's played.

How much the ball's in play before something happens.

And generally the ball's in play longer in the NRL before something happens.

Referee blows the whistle, somebody scores a try, somebody drops a ball, or somebody gives a high shot or whatever, you know, there's a penalty.

And I'll be watching the NRL and it'd be really fascinating to watch how Origin goes this year and how that's refereed.

Because if it's refereed like it is at club level,

I don't know, I think it's gonna make a fascinating viewing because sometimes it's just too fast.

It's just too fast and I don't know where the contest is.

I'm not sure where the contest is.

This is not a complaint at all, it's an observation.

Rugby league's a great sport for many different reasons.

One of them would be, you've only got six plays.

And in that six plays, you've got to be as creative as you can, be as powerful as you can, be as fast as you can.

And if you don't come up with something after play five, you've only got one play left.

So you've got to kick the ball long, kick it down there and then prevent them from doing that.
