Yeah, I suppose you do.

Look, Hans is one of those OGs around the league as well, probably in and around my decade, if you like, and Hans is probably a different position than me in midfield, so I'm sure she would have to adjust her game in whatever way they play, but I mean, just work hard, make sure the body's right, and look, I'm a centre-back, so if you're clever enough, you can get the people in front of you and you talk enough to communicate, but

I just think it's the hard work, the dedication, the recovery, all that sort of things.

It's a team game, isn't it, really?

So it's just working together with the team and the coaches and what they want.

I think we just have to enjoy it as much as we can.

Yeah, I wouldn't be the quickest either, but I think if you can read the game well, you can get yourself in a situation where you're not caught out or like that, reading the game.

I've watched a lot of football over the years, I've been playing for a long time, so I think reading the game would help you and we can be doing that ourselves as well.

You can tweak and look, you've been around a long time, you know now what works for yourself and what doesn't, but I do agree with you, being able to read the game absolutely helps, or your communication with other players around you and stuff like that always helps.

Yeah, he's been great.

Look, obviously, you know, we would have played against Sean last year at Treaty.

Probably some of the very toughest games, to be honest.

And always really impressed with their style.

I suppose his information onto those players and stuff.

And look, women's football is very small.

I know a lot of people around the game that have played under him or knew of him.

And always spoke very highly of him.

And we've seen a first hand now the last few weeks working with him.

Brings his own style, his own approach.

I've learned a lot off him already as well, which is great.
