Do you think this side now is as settled as it, as it has been since the premiership season?

Uh, uh, potentially in, in some aspects.

I mean, this year we've had...

So we've got 18 new players on our list this year, so there, there has been quite a big turnover from last year.

But I think we really had a conscious approach to, I guess, target specific players, whether they were fresh out of, uh, the Coach League, you know, Alex McBride loaned from the Western Jets, Izzy Creighton from the Eastern Rangers, just, uh, to name a few, and then obviously Jonesy, as we spoke about from an experience level.

I think we are in a settled position now where we think our, our squad is balanced enough across the board to compete.

As I said, we've still got work to go to make sure it's gonna stack up against the top few sides.
