Transcript
00:00I just wonder whether you had actually apologised to the team for not being there last week when they needed
00:07you.
00:08Yeah, of course. That was one of the first things I had to do as a captain.
00:14You look at a situation and it obviously affects more than just myself.
00:18It affects a lot of people and it definitely did have an effect on a lot of people.
00:22It affected Joe, it affected the squad, it affected the people outside of the playing environment.
00:29It's all fine and well, everything being fine and dandy when it's all going well.
00:33But, you know, you need to take responsibility for the things as well.
00:36And if that is you who needs to take that responsibility, then you need to be big enough and man
00:39enough to be able to take that upon your shoulders
00:43and look everyone in your eye who it's affected and apologise how you need to apologise and that's something that
00:48I did.
