Transcript

00:00 So I've got with me here, Maitland Manpires co-captain again, Braden Crowley.

00:04 Mate, just three quick questions.

00:06 We've got obviously a few changes with Maitland this year, lost a few players, got a couple of new ones.

00:11 But what's the goals for the team this year? What are you guys talking about?

00:16 Yeah, to win the comp, win the premiership, win the doubles.

00:19 So I think that's the goal every year.

00:21 So yeah, we've brought in new players this year.

00:24 Yeah, we're looking good.

00:26 It's been a tough pre-season, but hopefully we can kick start it this weekend.

00:31 And what's the big changes from last year this year for you guys?

00:34 Is it just the turnover that's been the big change?

00:38 Yeah, I think we lost like seven players, but we've brought in, as I said before, we had Lundy, Cal, Jaco come in.

00:47 Yeah, there's a few new boys coming up as well.

00:50 We've got a young kid named Charlie Pollard, he's just come out of the Jets.

00:53 He's a good young kid, so we're looking positive in that sense.

00:58 And we can't wait for the season to get started.

01:01 And Zach Thomas back as well?

01:02 Yeah, Zach Thomas is back from Melbourne.

01:04 He's looking good too.

01:06 Just a whole new back line, to be honest.

01:09 We've got Zach and Jaco leading that line, so we're looking forward to it.

01:14 And just a quick one, who's been your most annoying team-mate during pre-season?

01:19 Ethan Biddler, he's this young kid coming up.

01:23 I think that probably would be most of the boys' answers.

01:26 Thanks, mate.
