It was pleasing however, the manner in which we bounced back after Ben Barba's late try. We knew we had to come back fighting and we turned the momentum around straight away when some great play from a few of the boys put Chad Townsend through to seal the result. We still had to compete after that but overall the boys showed a massive amount of effort.
I'm also really enjoying playing up in the line and helping to create play rather than having to sit back and wait for the action to come to me. I played quite a lot of five-eighth back in England and have also played internationals at No6, so it was a part of my game I wanted to keep when I came here. Coach Andrew McFadden has given me a bit of a free licence to roam and play what I see and it's been working well.
Cappy [McFadden] has to take a lot of the credit for how far the side has come recently and the decision to put him in charge was just about the best thing the club could have done in terms of taking us to the next level. He's an intelligent bloke, he knows exactly what he wants and it's been obvious how he has made a difference since taking the helm.
I've been kept busy off the park recently as my dad arrived here from England three weeks ago. With our game in Perth and last week's bye the Brisbane game was his first chance to watch me play. It's been great seeing him and the club has looked after him really well. He had a nice box for the game, whereas he normally watches from the stands, so he really enjoyed himself.
