00:06and you're saying we're safe with 12 games to go and people are actually talking about

00:09it.

00:10That's the hysteria, and that's all framed around putting pressure on me and the club,

00:16and I get that when you're in that position, you've got to accept that.

00:24for us, we've got to get to that space as best we could.

00:29We obviously didn't get the outcomes we wanted to during that time, but not through the lack

00:36of will or effort from the players, and they were always my primary concern, just protect

00:40them and support them, because they gave everything during that period, now they've got some help,

00:44they've got some rest, and like I said we're not happy where we are in the league, obviously

00:48it's unacceptable, but we've got an opportunity to address that now.
