00:33 Steph, through to another Grand Final, how does that feel?
00:35 Yeah, look, relieving.
00:37 It was hard work, they put it to us, so
00:39 yeah, obviously stoked with the win
00:41 and yeah, looking forward to smashing
00:43 it out with Kooty next week.
00:44 Yeah, you get a chance to get some revenge
00:46 there, don't you?
00:47 Yeah, look, they're a good team, they're the high-quality
00:49 team and they bring it to
00:51 us every time we play them, so I wouldn't
00:53 expect anything less and that's how you want
00:55 a Grand Final to be played, so yeah,
00:57 looking forward to it.
00:58 And to beat the Cowgirls today, a measure of
01:00 revenge, slightly
01:02 for the Grand Finals last year?
01:04 Yeah, I'd probably hardly call it revenge,
01:06 it's just like, just a
01:08 nice turning point to a
01:10 loss from last year that really quite hurt us,
01:12 so yeah, it's nice to win against
01:14 them, but we were solid out for the final and
01:16 it's good to see the way that it was,
01:18 it was fought all the way to the end, so
01:20 yeah, pleasing.
01:21 Two more questions, one,
01:23 what were the most pleasing aspects of today's performance?
01:25 I think just in times where
01:27 they felt like they were getting on top
01:29 of us, we just sort of re-composed
01:31 and that's something that I'm really proud of
01:33 the girls for doing, because sometimes you can lose your way,
01:35 so that was really good, and then yeah, there was
01:37 some really good comms from the girls all game,
01:39 and that's good when you're absolutely gassed, it's
01:41 good to have someone chatting in your ear
01:43 telling you where to go.
01:44 And what do you need to do to beat
01:46 Katengal Moonbeam?
01:47 Oh, I just think completing sets and
01:49 maintaining the intensity, that's probably
01:51 the key for us, and yeah,
01:53 obviously we've got Barra, who's a fantastic kicker,
01:55 so they can get us down the park, we've just got to get off
01:57 the back of that and get some good kick chase
01:59 and defend well.
02:00 I like one more question, on a personal note,
02:02 you performed really well today, two tries,
02:04 you carved them up in the second
02:06 half as North got
02:08 the ascendancy, happy with your own
02:10 performance, leaders on the front?
02:11 Yeah, look, I'm one of the OG's
02:13 in the team now, so it's good to
02:15 set the standard for the girls, and I mean
02:17 it hasn't always been that way for me this year, but
02:19 it's good to put it on the park when it really counts.
02:21 Sweet stuff, thank you.
02:22 Thanks.
02:24 Go on, you're pushing!
02:26 Go on, go on!
02:27 Go on, go on!
