Quotes I guess it's always one of those things where when you don't have to make a decision, you feel like you could make the best decision, It's always hard being involved in something like that. Could I say I was a little bit frustrated and disappointed with how the whole thing has played out? I've worked so hard from getting back home [from Australia] to try and make things right, I've worked so hard from getting back home [from Australia] to try and make things right, That's what I thought I was doing. I put so much time and effort into it, but I maybe potentially burnt myself out. If I have too much time on my hands, it can actually be sometimes not be the best thing for me. Whether it's the best thing for the team going forward, I hope so. But it comes down to what I think will allow me to still love this game that I've played since I was a kid, and which has given me a career. I'm very excited about the next part of what I get to do.
