Yeah, I think we'll close the loop on all of that, but as I said, because it

It's been floating around, you know, it is like a month ago or so that, you know, nothing's evolved out of it since.

I'd be very surprised if there's any concerns, but yeah, we'll certainly just close the loop on all of that.

Well, I think there's a lot of education we do around, you know, cultural awareness, but I think there's,

There's two things here, two really good learnings, I think, for us as a club that we can build on.

One is it's, you know, casual racism is, and for someone who's so attuned to the First Nations player like Ross, for him to slip up in that way tells us something that, you know, you have to be very considerate and conscious of the impact of words.

That's one.

Secondly, I love the process that the guys went through.

you know, with Hilly, raising it with Ross so that they could have a discussion and, you know, have conciliation where they could work through and explain to Ross how it impacted them and make Ross aware of it.

And that's what you want when these sorts of matters come up.

It's like a mini peak process, if you like, that you get the parties together, educate

people on what it means and resolve your differences and everyone walks away happy.

Well, if it's of a serious nature, which is ongoing and can't be resolved, you would certainly be involved in that.

And there are various instances that happen with staff and employees and all sorts of things that happen in an organisation.

in some cases you're brought into the loop.

But it's usually if it just can't be resolved quickly.

And it sounds to me that this one was resolved pretty quickly and people were happy to move on.

Well, I think he's effectively served the two weeks already.

of the hard suspension, if you like.

So theoretically, he should be available this coming week.
