I'm picking the team on my fucking own and I'm deciding how we play and I'm picking the players.

how to play that style, not the other way around where I'm picking the best players to play this certain style.

You've got to be clear how you want to play.

So if you're clear how you want to play, you pick the players who can implement that style of play and that's going to be the challenge of the next play.

Well, it's difficult.

Well, it's difficult.

Once again, he's not used to the pressure cooker of being in that coach's box.

I can imagine it's nearly debilitating.

Yeah.

You've got mean things happening.

And you can see Loz in the box.

You know, everyone else is sitting down.

He's standing up and just, you know, he's wound up that much.

I really feel sorry for Loz because he's a great fella.

He's been one of our greatest players and one of our greatest captains.

I just – I'd love to see us win for him.

There's a moment that stands out for me playing with Laurie in 96.

I don't know if you blokes can pull up clips and put them on this.

So in 1996, 1996 where we won 3-0, Laurie was playing left centre and I was doing that thing with twos where I played hooker and defence but halfback and attack.

So all you fuckwits who say I played all those games at hooker, I didn't play the games hooker.
