And then when they spoke to you, you thought, oh, my opening's here.

I can sort of jump up.

That's changed.

So the change, the new way now is how do we make these guys feel as comfortable as they possibly can, as early as they possibly can,

so they can play their best football early on.

And a prime one with us was Bradley Hill.

We were told that Bradley Hill's a shy, young, Indigenous fella.

When he comes over, he's got the best personality, he's funny, everyone would love him, but you need to get that out of him earlier.

So what you do is you get a senior person to pick them up from training.

The senior person will get them to stay at their house.

You take them for breakfast with the other senior guys, the leaders.

You take them for dinner.

You make them feel like they're wanted so they can relax a lot earlier.

That also means that the relationship's a bit different.

So picture this.

Do you reckon a player would say that to, what Lombard said to Petrarca, would say that to their father?

would they say it to their brother?

So you look at the old school was the senior players, the father mentality.

There's no way in hell you're going to say that to a father.

But if it was your brother, would you say it?
