I am with this one.

I'm concerned about how this competition looks next year or next season, this year.

Your revelation, and I used that word in inverted commas last week, you've got the Channel 7 and SCA merger, Hutchie, involving my good self.

I couldn't walk past anyone during the week without, in media at least anyway, without raising it.

So as I said to you last week, I was hoping that was going to slide through for a few weeks before people picked up on it.

But you managed to get it out there basically as it was happening.

I had also James Broshaw try to pin on me a Channel 7 little pin, which wasn't happening, Hutchie, and won't be happening, but...

How did it go?

I didn't click on the seven operation.

Did it present well?

They described the Saturday rub in that media release, Archie, as iconic.

No, no issue at all.

As I did say to you last week, Hachi, I was made aware of it by the SCA of the operations first, and then I made sure that SCA, just to sign off on it myself from a personal perspective, I made sure SCA spoke to the nine part of it, and those conversations clearly went very well.

Swimmingly, and it happened.

Not that I was going to have any say or influence on how it played out.

I'm well aware and I've always been aware of my role within any operation that I'm in, and I'm well down the rung in this one.

If you had to listen to what I said last week, I actually told you that last week.

So don't act as though you're shocked.

Don't feign shock a week later when I told you that on the run last week.

Overplaying your own importance.
