You know, the breakdown work, kick chase, ability to get off the ground faster than your opponent, little stuff like that.

And we just enjoy playing with each other.

We know exactly where everyone's going to be at the right time.

And yeah, it's just a lot of our coaches put in a lot of work too around preview reviews around where we can hurt teams and

just feels like a good energy and spiritually we're all on the same kind of level.

I just think there might not be many times in my life where I have the opportunity to do something that's special for the people of our region.

And one thing is, especially with a team like the Chiefs, if you come for the crown, you can't miss.

And I feel like we've just got to be correct.

Yeah, I think if you strip it back deeper, the amount of people that have left Wellington in general to move overseas, jobs, people being laid off,

Government issues, I don't want to get political on that.

It's pretty tough living in New Zealand right now, bro.

And especially in the one that's in the capital city, there's a lot of migration at the moment.

And the one thing that I found to sum it up in the last three months is the amount of people on the street that come up to you.

And at the start of the year, it was, wow, you're playing so well and you and your team are flourishing.

But like the last three months, it's been thank you for what you guys are doing for the community.

You guys are bringing a buzz to the,

the capital and you know people have pride watching you guys play and that means so much more than just wow you guys are playing well and that's what we want to do we want to bring reprieve to people from their daily lives so people can go to work on Monday and just like Brooke giving you a bit of stick about how proud he is for being a Canes fan that's what we want to be able to do for people and

hopefully people watch us play and they can see part of themselves in us and the way that they attack life and just keep being persistent.

No, they're a great team.

They've got expected players from 1 to 23 in that whole squad that they have behind, so
