Yeah, but I think it's like, it's in any leadership position, you know, in a top class organization with brilliant players who've done, who've achieved a huge amount in the game.

you're nearly on trial every time you go up and speak.

You know, so that can be, that can be a lot.

You know, unless you're like, like Joe was able to capture the room straight away.

Cheka had the room straight away, you know.

I would say Nina Barr has, from what I gather, I remember they're talking to some of the guys when he arrived in first and they were so impressed with him straight off the bat.

But that's a lot of responsibility for a young coach, you know.

Sorry, I will say, I just want to make sure that I'm heard on this one as well because I feel like that might have been harsh on Blaine now, right?

But,

I don't know any of this.

I'm just speculating from what I'm seeing.

I see you on the pitch.

I just don't know if I've seen an imprint yet.

And in fairness to the coaches in Leinster, it's been a difficult year for them with availability of guys, lots of injuries.

I think a key moment of the season for key players in key positions hasn't really helped them either.

It's been a challenging season.

Challenging season on a number of fronts, you know, but I just still feel like there was enough there to have done better and be more consistent and probably not see what we saw in the final because it felt like that was nearly the culmination.

I mean, Will, you called it.

I didn't see it.

I thought they had a big performance in them.
