You know, supporting Laurie is our big thing, you know, to get this job done and that's through everyone that's played for the Blues, that's through all captains that have played for the Blues, like they're there to support and really want Laurie to get this job done and, you know,

That's really important that we do.

We get around him and I think it's been hard to see getting ripped apart because it does happen.

I've seen it with Freddie.

Freddie's got the Brad Fittler medal, things like that.

It happens that people just shred people and it's the origin arena and you've got to be willing to jump into that.

What's the story about?

Hey, Tommy, what sort of defence do you want us to play today?

And we're also just like, he's the best.

He got the job done.

Yeah, he got the job done.

Yeah, no, Baz has been involved.

He knows what a Blues player looks like.

I think that's certainly important to – and I reckon there's a style.

Baz has been an attack coach, obviously, and head coach, but attack coach predominantly in the NRL, and he'll know a style exactly what he wants to play, and especially living up there in Queensland, the passion that he'd have to beat Queensland.

Yeah, he would be a really good Joe.
