Maybe their win-loss doesn't show that as well as it probably could.

But, yeah, they've got a good blend of experienced players and some young stars.

And, yeah, they seem to have talent all over the field.

And probably their phases last year probably weren't connecting as well as they were.

But as well as they are this year, they've started defending really well, been really hard to play against.

So, yeah, it's definitely going to be a strong challenge today.

Well, yeah, I'd like to say yes, Damo.

We've done a lot of work throughout my time at the club on our mental game and making sure that we've had really strong, consistent routines week in, week out, which allow us to show up and play consistently consistently.

But yeah, sometimes the letdown or the week off when you have a bit of a poorer game, sometimes there's no tell on those and just the opposition come a little bit hungrier and it's such an even comp that you only have to be sort of 5% off at any one stage for the opposition to get a bit of a jump on you.

So yeah, we're heightened for that and we've been preparing for the opposition's best, but when you're sitting on top of the ladder like we are, you genuinely get that.

So it's a bit of a, yeah, it's a given, but

Yeah, we're hoping it doesn't happen today.

And if it was ever going to happen, it could be today.

There's a lot of warning signs and a lot of things that could make us distracted today.

But this group's really matured and we're hoping for another strong performance.

To be honest, he comes across like that.

He probably does a lot of the stuff where I don't hear about, probably away from the club.

Good.

I just can't fault him at the club.

He works on his game so hard.
