BSW: So, in summary, a good idea but possibly not run by the right people in the right way? JC: Yeah, and the players copped that a little bit, you know? Like, I'm very grateful to the club for having a go and even trying to do it, because it's a difficult thing, it's a costly thing and it takes a lot of time that people don't get paid for. But, at the end of the day, the players weren't looked after in a way that I suppose a club really should, or would want to look after players. It was a bit of a shame. BSW: Despite all the problems, you personally went very well and you were voted the most valuable player in the QSL that season. Was that a big thing for you at the time? JC: Yeah, it was. My form was a bit of a surprise early on. I was put under a lot of pressure because I was playing centre-back. BSW: Which was new for you, wasn't it? JC: Yeah, it was. Defensively we had a lot to do at the start because we were busy just defending most games, because that's the style of football we were capable of and that's how we played a lot of the time
