So it's like a dream come true.

So the motivation to play well here is going to be pretty strong.

Oh, well, it's... There was lots of conversations and disappointment in the end.

You know, I think I was on...

Radio, I did a press the other day and spoke.

We saw it as an apple.

They saw it as an orange.

And just disappointed that we can't.

We're missing probably our best small forward on the ground.

Again, for three weeks.

And we're just frustrated with that.

But, you know, that's the game.

We understand the concussion.

importance of looking after our players but sometimes accidents are going to happen and you know the grading of stuff we thought maybe we could have downplayed that because there was no second action in our view no driving you know the intent of the player was pretty much just to tackle and unfortunately

He sustains the head knock, and he's out of the game.

So we're just disappointed, and it's just part of the game that a lightning rod to most of us, you know, supporters, commentators, and we'll continue to try and work for our players and try and do the right thing, give them the opportunity to play, but we couldn't get it done.

Yeah, he is, and, you know, he's over 300 games now, and...

Him and Luke Parker, Caleb Daniel have been good for us in their short time with the Kangaroos.

But last week he was sort of the best forward on the ground, particularly in that first half.

And we were struggling a little bit.
