00:00But I mean, it's not even comparable in where we currently are as a team and as a group compared to there.
00:10We was at the height of things, like I've mentioned before, which were pretty unprecedented at that moment in time.
00:19Things that probably wasn't out there to the open, but clearly we was in a bit of a state in that fixture.
00:27So, yeah, I mean, look, where we've moved from from that point to now is not even comparable.
00:34A tough game again on Friday night, like it was back then.
00:39But certainly I feel that we're in a better place, certainly psychologically as a group.
00:43We're in a much better place and fundamentally probably in a much better place in terms of where we've come from and how we've developed along the way.
00:50I wouldn't say it tested, it was challenging.
00:53Like always, these are the challenges that one faces constantly.
00:57There was challenges there, but I've been involved in other clubs where there's always been constant challenges and you need to get through them moments.
01:05And for sure, we've got through them and we're in a better place now.
01:09They were just challenging times, trying to win those open.
01:14That was where we were.
01:15We was in a place which some players didn't want to be here, obviously didn't want to play in and around it.
01:20And they were the challenges over the weeks coming to that.
01:23It escalated a little bit more towards that game.
01:26But yeah, I don't really want to go over that.
01:29We've come out of that, that's in the past now.
01:32And yeah, we're on the right track now.
