Just with the little one and won't get a chance to listen to it tonight. Any chance I can get a brief summary, please?

Gee he speaks well. No nose whistles or few umms and ahhs.

Seems to be quite jovial and have a laugh. Speaks very openly about things.

Re JAC - no secret he wants JAC and could play with two fullbacks next season technically.
Re signing Panthers players - Has an agreement to not approach players entrenched at Panthers or have a pathway to first grade, unless other clubs might have a go at them and they are off contract.
Re Burton - sounds like we might have him "I'd rather he come here than elsewhere".

Bob Fulton told me one day when I was at Manly, he said "don't worry we won't take any of their players, unless it's absolutely necessary"

Honestly, sounds like a good dude. Same with Hansen.
the optimism is building.

Dogs top 8 no doubt with him in charge.
