00:00 I believe we're better suited this year. I think we've improved dramatically over last year.

00:06 I think we've improved in a way that gives us the chance to win football games.

00:10 It's no disrespect to what we were doing last year. We had quality players here.

00:14 But I just feel as a team, the dynamic and the collective effort in order to win a football game,

00:21 we're so much more closer to that week after week.

00:25 And the lads are learning a hell of a lot. We're halfway through a season of still firsts again.

00:31 We've got a lot of first-year players. We've got a brand new coaching set-up.

00:37 And when you remove all the emotion and all this, that and the other, and you look at real hard facts,

00:43 I think the boys are doing that, and the coaches, and the club in general, are doing a really, really top effort.

00:49 From day one to now, we've improved out of sight.

00:53 And it just goes to show when Wellington, who are top of the table, come and they play with a back five,

00:58 and they respect you as much because they know we're dangerous, it just goes to show how far you have come.
