- Kotoni won't play
- Kotoni will be right for next week
- He was very close this week but we are being conservative
- Toes trained really well this week and has worked really hard but we just want to give him a bit more time
- His injury is a hip flexor
- Mariner was great and we want to see more of that
- Deine has really dug in but so has the whole team
- Competition every day here but ultimately it doesn't matter if we don't perform
- Today was the first time we could get on Suncorp so was nice to get out there and do the captain's run
- We got taught a lesson last week, so we need to make sure we turn up tomorrow night
- We want to make sure we build consistency
- We got jumped last week, so we need to make sure that doesn't happen again
- We want to make sure we get out and perform every week so the derby doesn't add anything extra
- I'm excited to get out there though and be part of a derby, it will be good fun
- We are getting an understanding of what leads to our best prep
- I learned a lot about myself last week as well
- We are 1-17 for tomorrow night
- They have a chance to go out and make amends this week
- I'm impressed with how the team has reviewed the performance but proof will be in the pudding tomorrow night
- I'm not too worried about who is coming in for the Cows, we need to just focus on getting ourselves right
- It was exciting to see how many fans there were even in Canberra and we get that everywhere we go
- We have a lot of fans everywhere and so a sell out is great but we need to perform
- Souths were also a big club but every club is different, you need to be able to handle the pressure
- I enjoy the pressure
- Reece will be right, he just needs to get back out there and perform the way we know he can
- Anything you are hiding for tomorrow night? You never know
- Haha (end scene)
