00:00South Hornable co-captain and one of the best on the ground today, Shennanbeck, mate, two-time Premiership player, how does it feel?
00:07It's pretty sweet, mate, pretty sweet. Yeah, a home club, never played anywhere else, I love the joint so much and two-time Premiership player, Premiership captain, mate, it's a serious night, it's a dream, it's so good.
00:19And what a way to get the win too, you know, it wasn't the prettiest game, but you guys were strong and held on at the end and it was a really inspiring defensive game.
00:26Yeah, it doesn't matter how you get there though, does it? It was always going to be a bit of a battle with the wind pushing over that side of the ground all day and we'd just come down to who wanted it more and who willed themselves to each contest.
00:38It took Walker-Allen to kick one of his ankles through in the pocket and float through, that's what it took and, mate, I couldn't be happier, seriously, I'm a bit speechless to be honest.
00:48Who took that Leo Barry-esque moment? Isaac Thomas, mate, moments like that, Walker's mark, that stuff will just go down in history, we've been talking about it for years, so, mate, I'm so happy.
01:00And your own game too, you had an impressive game, you didn't kick it, you know, it wasn't that sort of game where you could kick a bag, but you stood tall, took some great defensive marks, happy with that?
01:09Yeah, yeah, like it was always, my role on the ruck is going to be PR, so you've got two really good ruckmen, they're going to make it pretty hard, so my strength is trying to get the ball around the ground and trying to get my hands on it and, yeah, look, I managed to do it, but, look, it could have gone to so many people, it was a bit of a raffle, but I'll take it.
