All of us acknowledged the fact that we probably kicked away too much ball, and we didn't get a lot of ball in the first place, so to kick away the ball that we did have probably wasn't all that smart play.

There were a number of times towards the end of last year after I had some more surgery I didn't quite know whether or not I'd make it back onto the paddock, so just to be running around again is a good feeling.

As players, we've said we support Jeff over the full season. We don't need any more disruptions.

After I sat out those two years, made a comeback to injure myself midway through last year when everything was going pretty good and then to have to sit out the start of the Super 14, it was pretty tough.
