And it's a mindset thing.

And this comes with pointing things out to him, but it also comes with natural maturity.

In four years' time, he's going to sit back and go, yep, I was silly doing that.

But he went through it and he learned from it.

But hopefully for his sake and West Coast's sake, he can fast track that.

Tuesdays begin one way, and that's the leadership portfolio.
