Transcript

00:00 Josh, welcome to Leeds and to Rugby League, how are you settling in?

00:05 Thank you, I'm settling in really well, the boys have been so helpful in greeting me and showing me around

00:11 and obviously explaining the rules to me because I'm a Union boy, so I don't really know much about League

00:16 but I've really enjoyed so far the first week and I look forward to three more weeks of it.

00:21 You're hoping to get a game for the reserves this weekend, how much are you looking forward to that?

00:25 I'm absolutely buzzing for the reserves, I'm also a bit nervous because it's my first League game ever

00:30 but I'm willing to give it a good crack and the boys are just guiding me through it

00:34 and make sure I don't get left behind or make any mistakes.

00:38 As a winger it's probably less complicated than some of the positions to adjust I suppose?

00:44 Fortunately I don't need to know as much for the whole team to run as let's say a forward would

00:50 but also I don't really want to be making any mistakes anyhow because it would look bad on me and the team

00:55 but luckily I've got less chance of doing it than probably every other position pretty much.
