00:00Like Bill said, preparation has been really good the last probably eight days we've been in camp,

00:05but it doesn't mean anything if we don't get it on tomorrow night.

00:07Yeah, I like to go through that visualisation process.

00:10I think it's just a different way to do it instead of always having a bank of physical reps.

00:14I get to play alongside him. We've obviously played big games together in the past,

00:18but him going to another club and then versing him just the other week was a weird experience, to be honest.

00:24So it sort of felt like back at home, I guess, playing alongside him,

00:28and I'm really looking forward to that opportunity.

00:30I think it brings that energy that everyone sees.

00:33He's definitely not afraid of the moment or big games and he has that experience.

00:38So, yeah, really looking forward to playing alongside him again.

00:41Yeah, it's been quite good, to be honest, James.

00:42I thought our preparation leading into Game 1 was quite good as well.

00:46We didn't quite get our game right in Game 1.

00:50So that's been a real focus for us.

00:52A few little adjustments, but yeah, the most important part of your preparation is tomorrow night,

00:57about the 80 minutes tomorrow night.

00:58So we've still got a captain's run this afternoon that we'll just adjust some details of our game

01:04and, yeah, hopefully we can get some things right at the start of their game.

01:07So if you're any better, guys, for sure, make a workout, I'll do it ahead and let me get some things right at the end of your game.

01:17So we'll be right back.
