Yeah.
Look, Seattle's got a very good record against Manly.
but not at Brookvale.
So from that point of view, and mainly they are starting to give me that fortress mentality, again, about Brookvale.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, he was a no-brainer, wasn't he?
It's just there's been a lot of talk.
about, oh, he's gone straight from playing last year into coaching this year.
Look, that used to happen quite a bit back in the day.
Captain coach.
Yeah.
Look, as long as โ the one thing about Foran, which I haven't heard anyone speak about, is his ability to lead men.
And as a coach, you've got to be able to do that.
And that's probably the one โ
thing you're trying to learn as an assistant and to do your apprenticeship as a coach is to be able to sit there and be comfortable in your decision.
I'm going to play him at 5'8", I'm going to play him at centre, I'm going to put him on the edge as my edge back rower and be comfortable that you've made the right decision, that you haven't left the right guy
in reserve grade, which, and your assistant's saying, mate, we need this guy.
You come in, you own the decision.
So one, he's got great instincts in that way.
He is a leader, so that's the important part.
