I have enormous respect for Tony as a player and a person but right now we are working on retaining Ben and Shane Walker.

They were two of the better ones for sure. They gained the respect of the other coaches in the league. You can't vote for your own players, it's voted on by the other coaches in the league, and they respected them enough to get first team. It's pretty tough to get on that team.

We managed to sit down with Russell, Peter and Clover (Moore) and the council and they could see the benefits for the area.

Mark has done a great job at the Bulldogs, particularly working with the Canterbury juniors, and he has been integral in attracting and retaining the talent the Bulldogs currently have in their roster.

Sometimes it's just being able to get sufficient quantities or having the right stock on the shelf at the right time. We also face styles constantly changing or being discontinued. Each new style means a different last, which means different fitting characteristics. The size scales vary greatly from style to style and company to company. You've got to stay sharp to be a good fitter.

Can you see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 toes, one right here.
