What player wouldn't?

You want to be competing for everything.

You know, that's why you're involved in the game so, you know, that won't bother him, you know, that'll probably bring him

along even more, he'll bring us and lead us along even more because he knows those expectations.

I've always said when we play at Shell it's an expectation to win things but it's also in our dressing room, it's within us, we have that belief in us as players that every year we want to compete for everything and he'll want that as a coach, that's what you want as a manager isn't it?

Every week, every year to know that you're going to be competing for everything so as I said he'll bring his own style and I've been really impressed so far so

Hopefully it can take us where we want to be.

And I firmly believe we have a great chance every year.

The girls' staff dedicate and will give everything.

And yeah, please, God, we can get a bit of silverware.

I mean, I don't want to give too much away.

Have you watched your retreat last year?

No, we just, you know, there's a lot of demand and, you know, a lot of demands from your players, what he wants from you on the ball, off the ball.

His formation and stuff will change.

You know, when you have transitions and stuff and what he just wants from you as individuals, units and as a team, it's been very exciting.

As I said, I've been around the game a long time and I've learned a good bit all from the last few weeks.

So it's been great, but I won't give too much away.

I'll have to wait until the President's Cup.

Yeah, I think, look, as a group that were there last year, you're hurt, don't you, when you have a season like that?

We started the season with a brilliant squad, expectations that we could challenge for everything.
