Episode is up, is a good listen >>

A few key details I took out for next season:
  • Current pre-season objective
    • Focus on preparation
    • Set a good example for the club, and a good example for the next generation
    • Make himself the best he's ever been in terms of peak fitness, peak skill
      • Ensures he will nail whichever position he plays (fullback, centre, wing, or other)
  • On which position he will play
    • Going into pre-season happy and with an open mind about position
    • Will play in whichever role makes the team better, sends the club in the right direction, and makes the fans proud
    • Acknowledges and dismisses the speculation that he signed to play a specific position (fullback or centre)
      • Doesn't have a preference for position
      • Loves playing fullback, loves playing centre, just loves playing footy
      • Left centre was his favourite position when he was younger
    • He acknowledges the versatility (i.e. utility) of players in our squad, including a lot of young and new talent at the club, each with different strengths in different positions relative to other players
      • Whichever configuration makes us the strongest, he will fit in with that
      • Is 'team-first' oriented, and will do whatever makes the team the best it can be
  • On his adaptability
    • The past few years he's loved taking on the challenges of new positions, as it forces him to tailor his game
      • For e.g. you when moving from left centre to right centre
      • Had to change ball-carry arm (easily tackled if not)
      • Had to change which direction to step
      • Can't just play the same game in a different part of the field, everything must be adapted
    • Is proud of his adaptability as "not many players can do that"
    • Is proud of how much hard work he puts in each time to learn a new position
  • On why we will make top 8 in 2024
    • Good young team, a lot of talent, hungry for improvement
      • Kiraz and the other younger players are doing homework to improve
        • This is something that Crichton himself did as he was coming through, helped make him the player he is today
        • Shows they want to do extras, they really want to get better
      • Is a fan of Kiraz, and Mansour sees similarities between the pair
  • On Luai joining the Bulldogs
    • Says that he will be among the first to know when Luai makes the call (along with To'o and Leniu)
      • Luai hasn't really talked about it at all with
      • Still deep in the discussions stages as far he knows
    • Just wants Luai to be happy whatever he decides
      • "Will be happiest at the Dogs, so hopefully, fingers crossed"

Holds himself well for his age. Will be a top signing wherever he plays in the backline.
If communication is key for a fullback to set the D line, I would play him there.

Not sure what his weaknesses are, but they're well hidden
