And then you kind of develop your own thoughts on how you should defend as well.

And I think the one thing that I always prided myself on as a centre was my communication.

I think, you know, I was the loudest person on the field on that left edge.

I kind of took it as I was the leader and I would tell my half what he was doing and tell my winger what he was doing.

So we were all on the same page.

And, you know, there would be...

Times where, you know, different parts of the field and you've got to get on side quick, you've got to look up and in half a second you've got to make a judgment.

But you've got to do it clear and you've got to be loud.

And when you get fatigued, the first thing that goes is communication and that's why you see, you know, people coming out and not doing the same thing.

So I always prided myself that no matter how tired I was, I was always the loudest voice on that side.

And sometimes it worked because the opposition would hear you, they'd go the other way.

So you could almost fox them out of it as well.

yeah and that's that's the thing as well as a center you don't want to give the opposition the cue like you want them to come up with the decision rather than you sprinting out of the line and then playing early like you would try and have a battle with the half and the fullback and just kind of toy with them like turn your little turn your body a little bit in but then as soon as the pass went you'd straighten up again or you'd come up quick but then kind of slide back in and

Well, I was at the Dogs and at that stage they had a couple salary cap issues.

They weren't going too well, but they actually said to me, we can't even offer you a contract out of respect.

You've been here for 10 years.

We can't offer anything to you at all, so I think you need to look elsewhere.

And that was pretty early on, so I respect them for that.

And then the decision was, well, do I go over to England at that stage?

How old were you then?
