Marty and I decided some time ago that we needed to manage him. We've left him at home to let him get fresh for his North American trip. This team needs to learn to win without Marty, so it's best to find out now.

The guy turned up two or three months ago, totally out of condition and overweight and he just worked and worked and worked so this is really a repayment for some pretty hard work he has put in.

We're trying to do our best, allowing everybody to have a good time but also make sure everybody gets home safe.

I miss this place, it's just home to me. I've lived here 49 years, it's just my home and I hope that it opens back up, I really do.

We felt we needed to come back home and get this win. It was a much-needed win after last night. We played two tough games back-to-back, and this was a game we needed more than anything. Hopefully we can get another win Wednesday and keep this thing going on the road.

It was great. It was the last home game for the seniors and through losing and everything we've come together. Everyone on the team is really tight.
