So forward pack, back line, reserves.

And then I go through and, you know, add notes like maybe 100th game or, you know, two tries away from a record or whatever it may be, have all that information there.

And if you don't use all of it, then you're going to have some, you know, say for next time.

So I prefer to write my notes out a little bit old school and have them sort of stacked away in a clear file, just slowly, slowly starting to add to it.

to stack up in the cupboard at home, but that's a good way to do it.

I mean, there's plenty of stuff you can research online, but I think ultimately for me, it's about the connection with the other guys around you when you're actually broadcasting.

It's sort of...

in some ways being I guess the conductor of the whole experience of the whole broadcast because you're play by play calling but if you've got Marshy next to you you have to make sure that he's got enough space to inject himself and if you've got Mills on the sideline or Goldie whoever it may be it's very much a collective effort so I'm very much aware of that and I suppose how we drive things around as well.

I think it's probably like for you when you're playing rugby, it's the same as working with someone on your outside or your inside.

It's knowing how to work with that timing because everybody's going to be slightly different, right?

And that's the great thing about being in a creative industry.

We've all got our own strengths.

We've all got our own style.

And certainly when you're working with someone like Justin or whoever it may be,

there might be an occasion where I'll call a try and then we let it generally breathe.

So the crowd come in, uh, we let the guys get up and celebrate and, and then Marshy might jump straight in off the back of that and, and give a, give a classic Marshy line or he might let, he might wait for a minute, you know, um, and be a little more circumspect.

So it depends on, on the moment.

And, and again, it depends on who you've got next to you.

Everyone's got a slightly different way they want to call.

Yeah.
