You know, in the next five weeks, I could see them taking, you know, three, maybe three and a half.

Could it get to four wins out of five, which would be – well, then the conversation becomes a bit of a slightly different approach.

You know, that'll be – you know, it could be eight – seven or eight wins out of your last nine, ten games.

And you're right in all conversations because no one really wants to play you in that form.

So Josh has got an intriguing position.

I think he would –

have clarity from people above.

That's what I do think.

I think he would have to have some clarity because he knows his role is interim and he's spoken about that at length.

So he's not, hasn't as yet changed his mind.

If he wins four of the next five, it might be getting a bit harder to not change his mind.

He's eight out of nine, Gerard.

So, but the clarity from up above would be pretty important for the way they approach things because the,

Honestly, the players will feed off the coach anyhow and what the coach's demeanour is and what the coach's output and outlook is, I think, is more important for them.

If he's selecting a side that would suggest that we're looking at a lot more youth and we're not in the actual win at the moment, we're actually looking for the future, well, the players will pick up on that as well pretty clearly.

The bigger challenge is the players who are...

who are in the club who are seeing that as a negative for them because they'll be, well, this looks like the end for me or it's time for me to push on.

So Josh has got a pretty delicate little situation too, albeit I would call it a free hit.

Yep.

A bit of a free hit with what he does.
