Yeah, it wasn't just me as well.

I had great support from the club and our physios.

My position with injuries, and I probably haven't spoken extensively about this, but I just, in my head, I feel like I can get over injuries really quickly and sometimes it drives people at the club up the wall because I think I can play every week even though I've got an injury that says I can't and I think for me that's been...

And yeah, I think with everything that happened as well, like I said, I've just been able to focus in on myself for a lot of the time and where I can help out with the kids and whatnot.

But yeah, it's allowed me to just really hone in on my body and make sure that I'm going okay as well.
