Kieran Read

Yeah.

I've been able to sit in my own space, and I made sure I was very structured around my days.

So I was doing some study, so I had my work for some study.

I had my TV, Netflix time, and I had some reading time just to make sure I was right.

It could have been pretty easy to go get a box of beers.

Yeah.

Drink some beers.

But I was like, you can't be doing that sitting in your own house by yourself, mate.

I was like, it's a slippery slope.

So a few occasions you felt like it, but I'm like, nah, nah, don't start that.

So yeah, it was what it was.

You have to find ways to put yourself in a position to be able to do what you need to do.

So cool way to finish.

I captained the team with the halfback Shugano.

Oh, yeah.

That year we made the semis.

Which is probably the Toyota's actually best finish across the last probably 10 years for a long time.

So yeah, it was fun.

It was a good time.

yeah and um yeah i had my kids quite early as well like in my two girls uh when i was 26 so it's like 2010 2012 my girls born so yeah for a big chunk of my career though they're around um you're away a lot like in my career i think i was away and stuff and so after over 10 years i was there one year of my life wow i added up you know like i was there like over 30 odd times two weeks of time sometimes
