Everybody's like some p***, you know, you know house is built on strong foundations. If you go straight into the top you might not necessarily have the ability to catch and pass might not necessarily have the ability for your head in the right side of the head to make a tackle. So there's always certain things that you have to do in all of that. Then the way that you learn the best as through fun through games through competition really was quite an Anglo-Saxon kind of thing to do to try and get the crumbs of drills into little short groups and do stuff. It does have a big place because sued really get repetition you get a petition get behaviors behaves got habits. Then the Saturday you'll get the same thing.

So you do have to do a bit of both those up to you to try and find out your balance by the time you have in the week about what you spend the time on then obviously how much time you spend on a drill or how much time you spend on the game.
