00:00Big game for us. Big game for both teams really. I think we will understand the magnitude of this game on Monday.
00:09Two teams that have done very, very well up to this point of the year.
00:13We're playing against a really exciting team in terms of the way they play.
00:18A team that's been together now for probably 18 months with not massive, massive changes.
00:24Albeit they've, of course, sold some players, but they've got some real quality in their team.
00:29Players that they've kept as well. We experienced that when we played against them early on in the season.
00:35So, look, I'm sure Daniel will be saying the same about us. He understands the problems we can cause them.
00:41It's got the ingredients to be a very good game. I think it will be defined on the fine margins.
00:45And the team that can obviously get the better end of them will come out victorious, no doubt.
00:51I think we're a much better unit. We're a much, much better team as a group.
00:58And how we perform now in terms of the way we play, I think we're a much better team than we were then.
01:05I think it's fair to say on that day what got us that result was exactly what you're talking about.
01:10A resilience, an understanding. We took our moment when our moment came and we then showed a real resilience to hold on to that.
01:19And I think you've probably seen that for large parts this year. There's a common theme there.
01:24And, yeah, we need to maintain that for sure. We always need to bring that to every game.
01:29And no doubt in our moments on Monday night, we're going to need to dig where we need to dig
01:34and then show our quality and all the bits that we've been improving on to try and get the upper hand.
