00:00To touch on those symptoms, what were your thoughts on that?
00:04Look, I'll speak about that.
00:05Obviously, I didn't mean to do Brandon.
00:07I know he's come up with a bad injury and stuff.
00:09I'm sorry to him for that, obviously.
00:12I just weren't happy the way I went over to ask about Brandon
00:15and Trent Robinson's had a go at me.
00:17I went to apologise and he's turned on me.
00:20The way he'd done that, I thought that was out of order.
00:23I don't know what he said in his media or if he's done it before yet.
00:27I'm sorry to Brandon.
00:32The other one, I'm not sure if you lot know the rules.
00:35I don't know the rules.
00:36I just tried stopping an offload.
00:37I didn't strike.
00:39What sort of happened with Elliot after the game?
00:43He came up and just wanted to ask how Brandon was.
00:47I just said it's too many times.
00:50The hip drop's been pretty common in his game for a long time.
00:55I just said it's too many times.
00:57It's cost us a player.
00:59That was it.
01:00He said it was an accident.
01:01I just said, look, you've done it too many times.
01:03That was it.
01:06Elliot's done too many hip drops?
01:09Yeah, he's done a lot in his career.
01:13It's been pretty common.
01:15If you go and have a look, I like Elliot.
01:19I've watched him since he was in Bradford and Catalans.
01:24It's been pretty common.
01:25That was what I said.
01:26I know he's opened it up here, which is why we're talking about it.
01:30I wouldn't usually want to talk to you guys about it, but he opened it up.
01:34It's been really common in his game, his whole career.
