I’m aware they are advertising the job and I was made aware of that…(but) it’s not an option.

It’s an important game for Mitch, who is re-entering the fray and he doesn’t like to lose, even a trial match.

We will also test Caleb Ralph who’s a bit tight, so he’s potentially in doubt and we will look at both those guys in the morning before making a decision.

Most people expect it’s a given, but it’s not necessarily the case.

He’s a class act isn’t he? I would think New Zealand rugby would be delighted to have him back on the roster.

They have made big strides no doubt about that, that’s often what comes out of adversity. They are a better side than last year, but that’s very evident. It remains to be seen how we...

There’s nothing sinister there. Our doctor, Deb (Robinson), caught up with him on Saturday and he just took a knock to it. He should be fine.

It’s been part of the plan from the outset.

He’s the first to have done it and that’s indicative of how remarkable it is. Who knows, it may never be done again.

It would be fair to say we were off the pace, but a large amount of credit deserves to go to the Force for that.

It’s clearly a big day for Cameron but it will be one that he is able to handle. I think he is a player that is under-rated in what he can do.

I don’t think age is at all relevant. He’s a creative thinker, a lateral thinker and he’s always looking for opportunities. He’s prepared to take a risk.

They were humiliated on the track last weekend and there’s only one way they’re going to respond to that.

We are just managing our guys as we would do every year.

He’s had a really good preparation from December 1, he’s ready for it and he’s shown that from the occasions he’s hit the ground.

We’ll look at Aaron ? hopefully he’ll be all right. He did some contact work at the end of the week and came through it well, so should be able to take his place.

He’s not necessarily out for the match but he’s been rested for the early part of the week.

We earned it. There’s no doubt we earned it. Things didn’t go our way but we ground it out.

There’s a lot of similarities between the two sides, so it really is going to be a battle of wills and of wits.

He thought the first call was a hoax from a mate, but he responded to the second one.

It’s just flatness basically. He’s got no symptoms of head injuries, he just hasn’t totally come up from the cumulative effect of the work.
