But, you know, both teams have great benches.

Like, you look on the weekend, Ere, Inari, Naholo, Yose, Walker, Lee, so good for the Hurricanes and been so big in that second half.

And then you look at probably for the Chiefs, Xavier Rowe, Josh Jacob, Leroy Carter came back and been able to influence the game.

Akoi Dai, Prophet McAllister, it just goes on and on.

So that's why I just...

If you think there's not a weakness or there's an opportunity, I think, to be able to bring players on, I just think both those teams have great benches.

So it just adds more to this occasion around it.

We've seen you run 50 metres of score a try.

I was just going to say as well, I know, Drip, you actually probably touched on it in the post-match, but I think, you know, guys, the next crop that's coming for the Blues, I think Torian Barnes is a guy that's just got so much potential for that side.

I look on the weekend, like, a big part of why the Blues attacked so well, I guess, in that first half was his dominant carries and I think his mindset and his intent to be able to want to win collisions.

So, like, Odom Ryan's a big one with his try and I think the involvement that he's had with his opportunity at the back end there, but I've been really impressed with Torian Barnes

in his season that he's had considering that he probably wasn't the number one pick for the Canterbury side but has come in and leaps and bounds for that Blues side this year and I think he's going to have a big role with the likes of Hoskinsa Tutu, Dalton Papali leaving with the experience of the Blues are going to be leaving next year.

I'll let Jipper go the tight five and the forwards, if that's where he wants to go, but that's going to be a big part of, I guess, winning the game.

But there's two match-ups for me, and it's me with what I like.

Look, the two halfbacks battle with Cortes and our team and Cam Roygard.

Like, I think Cam has just, again, the last couple of weeks, just shown how... I think he's probably the best halfback...

There's Dupont, and I know obviously he's played a lot internationally, you'd have to still think that he is the number one halfback, but man, Cam Roygard is close to getting there.

Like the way that he snipes, the way that he's able to make line breaks, his kicking game, like everything, I just think he is world class.

I think Cortez has actually played really well the last couple of weeks, and I think more so in that game management, I think even his running game as well, Jip, I think he was able to do that a little bit in that semi-final, been able to get back to a support game, puts that nice little kick in for a five-meter scrum, so...

I think he's found some really good form with Xavier Rowe being injured in the back part of this year.
