I'm pleased for them - but it's only the start for us. Let's not forget we're still bottom of the league. I'm really pleased, though, there's a lot of happy people in there. |
If Adrian wants to play Origin and he is available for selection for Great Britain, I have no problem with that. |
If the current group prepare as well as the side did last year and give the same amount of sacrifice, then we'll be okay. |
It is unusual, ... If you're picking on form, they didn't finish in the top six and they have had a lot of injuries. (Gareth) Hock and (Sean) O'Loughlin would have been considered. It may look incredible but I think it's a compliment to the standard of the competition. |
It still looks a very good squad, |
It was a competent display. Conditions can affect minds as well. |
It's a huge boost, |
It's difficult to say how they're going to fare on the field, but we have a lot of very good football players here. Until you see the product on the field, you don't know how they're going to react in a game situation, or how they're going to get along with each other. |
It's pinch-yourself stuff, isn't it? ... Statistically it's probably been the best era in the club's history and of course that makes me feel good. But corny as it sounds, I'm honestly more pleased for the players. That's why I do the job primarily and that's why getting to the grand final this year has been the best yet because we've been through some pretty dark times along the way. |
It's raised the profile of cricket and it's given the whole country a huge lift whichever sport you play or watch. |
Marcus came and did as well as anybody possible could. I am really pleased for him because he has had no game time. He has not played for three weeks and he is nowhere near fit enough. |
Nathan is a player I know very well having worked with him at Bradford. He is a good addition to our squad, he is honest and hard working. |
Paul's form of the last six weeks has been pretty impressive. He stood up there and played well in big high-pressure games. He's been playing, as the whole team have, with a barrel of a gun facing them for six weeks. We need to pick our form players and those who have played in the intense games. |
Terry is busting a gut to get on the field and he will be a big asset to us as the season progresses. It will be almost like signing a new player. |
That would be a dream ticket. Bradford are a champion team. Hopefully we can create something similar here. |
