00:00 Laurie, how is Zuri shaping up this year? We are really excited, we're looking really good.
00:05 We've had a tough pre-season, we brought on a new strength and conditioning coach which has really
00:11 helped those players that need extra help in that department and yeah we're ready to go for round one
00:16 this weekend. Who's been a key pick up? Key pick up, we've got a few new good signings. One that'll
00:24 be exciting to watch is Jaina, so she's joined us from Missouri and played a couple of games for us
00:29 last year. So yeah, really excited to see what she can bring to the team. Who should we watch out for
00:34 and why? Watch out for, I think a really important signing again for us this year was our goalkeeper.
00:43 So we've got Taylor Gray rejoining us as our captain. She missed out last year due to injury
00:49 and we think she will have a really good presence on the field and really help us
00:54 to win three points every week. What will be a Zuri's strength this year?
00:59 Our strength this year compared to other years I think will be our depth. We've definitely bolstered
01:07 our attacking options so we'll have a lot of players who can do the job up there and
01:12 you know rotate around a bit and offer different options against different teams.
01:16 And who other than your side will be the team to beat?
01:21 Team to beat, I heard Maitland have recruited well but we'll work that out round one.
01:28 Who's the better of us two?
