How do you keep yourself grounded so you know things could change in a millisecond?
2:39
Yeah, I think exactly that.
2:40
We're not blind to the fact that they have the ability to be dangerous and you know, put out a good performance this weekend.
2:51
So, you know, we're well aware of the threat that they pose.
2:54
We're not oblivious to it.
2:57
We, yeah, prepare for them to come down and play a semi-final like they should.
3:02
And we expect them to be physical and, you know, come down here and throw everything at us.
5:53
Has he helped you with your defence?
1:42
Was that always the case, or did you just play at what you saw on the night?
1:45
A few discussions on, on Friday, um, around our game and things that could change and, you know, we had, um, a meeting in the change room and talked about our kicking game and our ways that, um, yeah, that we might have to play considering the weather.
2:03
But once we got out there and, and, you know, felt that it was good enough to throw the ball around and, um, you know, ball in hand wasn't actually too bad.
2:11
It was just quite windy and the rain stopped for the most part, so, um, that just allowed us to, to play our game and, um, do what we've been doing all season.
2:21
And, um, yeah, as I said, use the ball and, um, go to the air when, when we needed to.
3:20
Do you guys have a license and do you train that license to just play what you see, or is there a little bit more structure to it than what it looks like?
3:30
Yeah, there's definitely a structure put in place.
3:32
Um, you know, we have, I guess, systems to fall into when we, um, get into certain areas and, um, you know, once certain things happen.
