Great to be here, boys, and I left because Brent Reid was running it like it was North Korea.
The eruption, taking deals under the table, I don't know.
Quite gracefully, but I'm fired up, boys.
Don't slug off the regime.
Yeah, there's probably two things.
You know, we've always had a lot of turnover, but I just think we've got younger guys, probably our bottom six of your 19 of your game day, who they're doing their best and they're trying really hard, but they're just playing probably NRL a bit earlier than we used to.
And I had a little look at some of our guys.
Harry Grant's played 40 Queensland Cup games.
jerome 62 nico 65 so nico heinz so just to give you an example of some of the guys who were down here really worked hard their craft and reserve grade then took their opportunity whereas now we've got really young kids who are doing this but they're probably playing nrl a bit bit too early and then combined with the turnover um you know the uh
Rugby League eye test, a shout-out to these guys who did a great analysis on it.
You know, we're missing a third of the minutes last year, you know, with the turnover.
We've got Ellie, Xavier, Paps, Nelson, Tuohy, Grant Anderson, Bronson Garlick, Kane Bradley, Sean Boar's barely been cited.
So it's probably a combination of that.
And also, you know, this year we were conceding the third most set restarts in the comp, the third most traditional penalties as well.
So that's probably amplifying it and...
You know, that arm wrestle grinding style that the Storm are liking to play, it's probably not marrying up with today's NRL and especially how the game's being played.
Those real arm wrestles that I suppose we used to see in the last 10, 20 years, it's getting too quick and powerful and speedy and it's probably not playing to the strengths of the Storm in their setup.
Yeah, I think he's going good.
I think everyone's, you know, the whole rugby league community have got up around him and supported him.
And, yeah, just horrific.
