We were just trying to get our soldiers back.

So you definitely get a break and that's critical.

It used to be three days, then four days.

Now I think there's like, for some clubs, it's up to five-day break.

Depending how long your time off is, I noticed Brisbane gets 10 days off, which I think teams are getting 10 days off during the year.

So I think they missed, you know, unfortunately, they're not going to get a great break.

To have a good break away from the club, coaches come back a day early.

You look at the, I think we looked at the opposition round six, we went through this, Gerard?

Yep.

So now another six weeks has gone by.

So you reassess the halfway mark.

the top four, why are they top four, why aren't we, and then you get to work on, I call them marginal gains.

So there might be three things, two things, sometimes one thing that we're going to go after and that's a chance to train it.

But you've got to probably get back a day early, get along with your coaches, get your presentations together, get a couple of clips to show what we're going to chase, and then the next day, and it might be the Friday before the weekend,

You present it, you train it, you review it and then you even have a couple of days off over the weekend and then you come back next week and you've got your little marginal gain and you're ready to go for the back half of the year if everything's healthy, you know, like I said.

And sometimes if you're top four, you just have a break and you say, let's just continue to do what we've been doing.

So, I mean, who's in that space now where the Giants, they don't really want to buy.

They just want to keep going.

Probably Fremantle as well.

So...
