Yeah, so it's actually the it started before then, so when I was at Hartley I played the the year with the fifteen side and at the time it wasn't professional.
Um and then at the end of the year we got offered professional contracts.
It was the first time it was going for a professional contracts.
Um everyone had usual jobs and you'd get paid for playing um like when once you'd played there was a fee that you'd get I can't even remember how.
Two hundred quid or something.
I can't remember how, honestly.
It was probably a bit more than that, but I can't remember.
And at this point where the men presumably the men are getting paid proper, so it was salary, yeah.
No idea.
I mean it was
We weren't getting the attendances.
But then why are you not getting the attendances?
This is the argument because we're now professional in England but there's plenty of other countries that are not and it does really rely on
you know, having the attendance and it's it is a bit of what comes first, the chicken or the egg, you don't really know.

I remember saying to the England coach at the time who had just, you know, been my coach that year, I wanna be the best player in the world.
Mm.
And he said, Okay, well, you know, you've got the World Cup and you you've got six fourteen.
Um but then I remembered my Sainsbury School games and I thought now I want to do the Olympics 'cause that's first 'cause in my head I could do the Olympics and then go do the World Cup after.
