00:15and it looked and felt different, it felt big and I just reached out to my owners and said,

00:25And I got a unanimous response that said, yeah, these are the events we want to take part in.
00:31I then sent an email to Peter Blandies at the NRL and I explained that we're an ambitious club
00:40and that we'd love to be part of this event and within 24 hours I got a really favourable response
00:46and I've been working with the executive team at the NRL for the last three or four months
00:51to work through a hell of a lot of logistics and finances to pull this off but it's certainly been worth it.
00:59It's a great opportunity for the club and for Super League.
