Boys, I'm gone.

I never sat on a couch with you talking.

I think the players are still trying to get used to the new rules and I like it.

I like fatigue in our game.

I didn't like the way front rowers play 80 minutes and it's a badge of honour and they –

So when I played, right, so this is no joke.

It's not going back.

They were two-second play of the balls.

I remember Brian Smith was one, and we had to try to slow it down to two seconds.

Right now they go, it's too quick.

They're probably three seconds play of the balls.

They're still a second slower than our era.

And I know that they're bigger and faster and all that kind of stuff.

But the speed of the play, the ball and the run, you just had to get back there and hold on and make your tackles.

And I'm liking it.

And that's what happened.

I think Queensland had a bit more ball and, you know, we were pretty lucky.

I think Harry Grant flicked one out and then, you know, Flegler went over.

So I know we can play better, like I really do.

Yeah.
