I'll wait and see.

Well, traditionally it has.

Traditionally, whatever we've gone through in the early rounds of the football is tested by the product of origin and what product is.

We spoke to Billy Slater about it the other night and he said that he doesn't expect the players or the referees to change what they've been doing.

So it's really up to the players, the product that they put out there.

Yeah, that's a coaching issue.

Yeah.

And some have found it.

Some have found it.

And a lot of it's to do with personnel.

But some have found a better formula at the moment and others are struggling to find that formula.

It's got nothing to do with the connectivity of the group.

It's got nothing to do with how hard they train.

It's got nothing to do with how badly they want it.

It's just a phase we're going through at the moment.

And a lot of it's personnel because we haven't had senior personnel available for all those games either, you know.

It certainly worked in Vegas, it certainly worked out in Canberra in the wet and it certainly worked when we beat Penrith.

We beat them at their own game.

I mean I guess our game has been modelled a lot on what Penrith have produced over the last few years and been very successful.

But whether football keeps moving in that direction, I don't know.
