Cox: "We need to do it for longer..."

Speaking in a press conference this week, senior coach Dean Cox said that while he was pleased with aspects of team's performance so far, he need them to do it for longer.

"I think one thing we can learn is what we were doing against those opposition was working, we've just got to do it for longer and what we showed for the first couple of rounds is areas of our game we needed to work on, and we were fortunate to be able to spend a bit of time over the bye to be able to do that as well.

"We're under no illusion, we need to go another step to play the opposition we're playing this week and we're looking forward to that."
