So how he can improve in a very short space of time is difficult to say in the context of where the season is at the moment.

I think what you can do for him is work hard with him.

And there's no doubt he has to be working hard in training.

So there has to be something, there has to be a switch that flicks either with the player or with the group or finding a way to get a better outcome in terms of what's being done.

And I'm sure he will get game time over the next couple of weeks.

And it's up to him to fight for his place in the 23rd.

because there will be lots of options now in terms of that 23.

And I think that it is a tough, it's a tough place.

And he's been in a tough place for about five months now because the focus is on, it's always on the defensive side of things, the tackling side of things.

And everybody just kind of, it's almost like the second part of the sentence is, oh, well, and he's an excellent, he's a brilliant attacking player.

He's a brilliant range of passing.

He's a super, kicks a super ball, all this kind of stuff.

That has now become the second part of the sentence.

He's got to get that back into being the opening statement that people make about him.

And the only way you can do that is for him to solve the issues that he has from a defensive perspective.

I heard the audio.

I was out working somewhere else.

So I wasn't in the room.

I listened to the audio afterwards.

There was an element of frustration.
