Me being me, I just wanted to play again.

A novel rough draft is like bread dough; you need to beat the crap out of it for it to rise.

You look at a club like Leigh who have been relegated and have nothing to play for and it's tough for them. We didn't want to be in that situation and we're happy to have something to go at for the last three games.

I'm very happy with the draw but it means nothing unless we play well... and don't get complacent.

The tournaments are big enough now where if you do play well enough you can make a massive dent in it. It would take a lot of pressure off. There were three or four of us last year jostling for spots in the Ryder Cup, and that's not a nice position to be in.

There is quite a big contrast between the political situation in Japan and Germany and investors are looking to play on that contrast.
