00:00For Sonny, you know, we obviously, he had the injury, we brought him back and the first

00:06game back he kind of had a relapse and what we don't want to do is put him into that cycle.

00:10It's very easy to fall into that cycle by pushing players, particularly when they're

00:13coming back from injury.

00:14So, you know, we're just managing his minutes and building him up and, you know, he got

00:20a good 55 on the weekend, he got 45 last night, you know, hopefully we can continue to build

00:26that up.

00:27Ultimately for us it's about making sure that we get him back and keep him back because

00:32we can't afford any more injuries in that position.

00:34We've already got, you know, Wilson with a long-term injury, we've got Sonny obviously

00:38with a, sorry, Richie with a long-term injury, we've got Mikey out now so, you know, we can't

00:44afford to sort of lose another player in that area of the park so, you know, I'll always

00:49make decisions that I think are best for the club and for us and what we're trying to achieve.
