you go Todd not the prettiest win but a win nonetheless how did you see that one uh just the way you described it um yeah take them anywh they come really but um yeah real Scrappy game not a great spectacle from both teams to be fair um in the end we had uh some bigger moments than they they did and that's what got us over the one that M tackle count must and keeping your eye on that how do you kind of look to improve on that by head of next week oh look I thought the start of the game it was a team ready to roll their sleeves up and one wasn't so uh that's the message I game at Halftime I thought we were much better in the second half but yeah um across the team there's too many missed tackles and yeah we need to sharpen that up quickly is race robson's Hy concern no come off with the cramp um very similar situation the last week um he's had a history of um hamstrings before I got here so he's a little nervous and tentative as it is and um it's tested really well and um it should be good to go Ruben what was it like out there for you um yeah we spoke about it there but yeah wasn't a pretty one to watch no it was yeah it was very a very ugly win but um yeah we got to be a lot better than that that was you know pretty poor um lead into the these next few weeks we play like that again we you know it just puts us under pressure um defensively got to be a lot better in our execution we got to you be a lot better all over the park so what was the attitude like out there was it frustration that those I reckon there was a bit of frustration there um yeah we got to be better how do you Rectify that so quickly heading into these next few important weeks we'll have a look at it tomorrow um but I think it's just a bit of an attitude thing to be honest we need a reaction when the leaders speak and um across the park we got to be better Telly youan motions hard to manage for the boys when you got a game like that where you are you know pay tribute to your fa your grand wasn't even the 200 for that yeah absolutely it is a challenge um and they've rested a heap um and you know what that does for them it takes the pressure off them um they simplify things and um we we know that they're a club that always scrap and fight so they' stripped it right back um did things pretty simply and um we're just looking to finesse our way to to a victory so yeah that coupled with the emotion of the week um you know yeah we didn't handle it well some as individuals and I thought we we did a pretty good job as a club um to make make sure we we celebrate and send those guys out the right way um but yeah it can be difficult to manage um for Rubes what do those two BLS in particular Jakie Granville and Cole felt me mean to this club oh they're a massive part of this club um you know personally coming here um as a young fell uh you know Jake Jakie Granville was someone I looked up to and um just the way the way he played the game I I really admired that so um you know what he's done for myself and this whole club is is massive and and I felt he's you know he's been a great part of um this team for a long time and one of the best finishers in the NL so it's going to be sad to see them both go Todd looking at that last try the game's probably already won but do you need to see more from your last line of defense yep we do how's that how are you going to address that um in our review conversations and whether it's me or his teammates we our teammates um yeah it'll be spoken about and questions will be answered mlan didn't come back on after his first in is you feeling all right hamstrings tightened up so um precautionary more than anything you said it tightened up quite early and he managed to play another 17 18 minutes so um that's a good sign considering it's Thursday longer turnaround now you glad you got a few extra days to look at that one yep yep going be cheering the doggg is home pretty hard tomorrow night so um good to sit back with a cold beverage and just relax for a little bit feel key got rolled out before the match um is there an update on his hand uh he's got a sore thumb so it's something that um we just need to manage I guess from a pain point of view and then um when that can be done you'll be right to play let you go enjoy that beverage hey thanks guys thanks guys
