00:00You can talk all you want about Jerome's decision at PNG, but there's 16 other players or 18 other players
00:04in the squad.
00:05They need to do their jobs still.
00:07Do you feel, especially with no happy this week, and I think still, this is a real chance for him
00:12to,
00:13I guess there's been a fair bit of noise around him to come at him.
00:16I don't want him to think like that.
00:17Yeah, I want him to go out and play the way Jerome plays his best footy.
00:21You know, and not take on the pressure and bear the expectation of the whole team.
00:25He doesn't need that.
00:25What I need is the guys around it that give him a good platform enough to play his footy.
00:32When Jerome's at his best, he's defending well, very aggressive, like upbeat with his attack and on the footy.
00:38And what we've got to do is get around him and give him those opportunities.
00:40But there's going to be a team effort this week, not just Jerome.
00:43And the focus shouldn't be on what he's doing yet.
00:46It should be on like holds it.
00:48Israel Folau, you signed in by those nice things?
00:50Certainly.
00:51Yeah.
00:52Is he right there?
00:53Nah.
00:54Not my own.
00:54Yeah, look, you know me, I don't talk about recruitment publicly, but that's the furthest thing from my mind, right?
00:58Like, honestly, I've seen there's been a lot of reports out there, but I need to get my team back
01:03on track, right?
01:04And I need to focus on what's important right now.
01:06And that's us getting the performance we need this weekend.
01:09So I'm not even going to go down that path.
01:12Oh, so I was going to say, are you able to separate the fat confusions?
01:15They haven't been stunned to read me, so no, we're not going to stop, not slam.
01:18So I'm going to go down that path.
