00:00I'm never going to make decisions just to kind of alleviate or appease
00:09people's opinions. I think he's been our best player
00:15this year and I want to protect him because there's no chance he can play
00:18all these games that we've got. And like I said, even if they can play, performance
00:23will invariably drop because it's not sustainable. So we have to
00:28pick and choose. Obviously, I thought the weekend game, particularly
00:33with Pape and Madders and Biss in there, we're obviously missing
00:41Bentoncourt as well. So whenever I was going to leave him out, it's going to leave a
00:44bit of a gap and then losing Dom on the day didn't help us on the weekend.
00:49But yeah, it's something we're going to have to do, particularly
00:53with the small numbers we have between now and Christmas.
00:58Hopefully we'll get Romero and Mickie back in this time, but the rest of
01:03them probably won't. So middle, front, third and Bentoncourt included in that,
01:08he's not going to be available for a while. So middle and front third, we're
01:12going to have to rotate the players a fair bit, I think.
