It's yes and no, I think.

You try and get in the mind of the players, but at the same time, it's such a difficult period for everybody.

It's something that's probably never happened in our lifetime and might not ever happen again in our lifetime.

They have, yeah.

We've done that, you know, it's been non-stop.

I've been probably 20 times a day on the phone to the general manager, getting things sorted for next season, sort of looking at recruitment, obviously in communication with the players as to what's happening.

So, yeah, there's a lot of planning going into it.

Naturally, like probably every coach up and down the country, this has been a great time to learn and reflect and

and sort of delve into areas that haven't worked and what needs to change and then areas that have been good that you can build on so um no it's been a really good time i think um certainly taken a lot of positives from this time good to hear now as sue mentioned he used to be a player carla and obviously sue used to be a player as well so we've dug through the archives

I think we must have been to the same hairdresser.

It was some team, but yeah, those Barnetts don't do us justice, Sue, at all.

That was a great time.

Yeah, we did, yeah.

It was a good time, but like Sue said, the hairdressers weren't too great back then.

I always thought, I always was worried actually about retiring, but then I sort of jumped straight into it.

So I didn't have that time to miss it.

But sometimes I do when I see things happening and I think, why has she done that?

Or you start thinking about how you would have done things.

And no, I absolutely love my job now.

I've learned a massive amount since I've stopped playing and still learning, obviously.
