“If it gets a little stale and we pass the ball around – but then you open up gaps and when those gaps are there, sometimes you just need a bit of a spark in a game to light a bit of fire and take it on ourselves.

“I saw a bit of a gap a few times and went for it. Obviously, you have to pick and choose when you go, because when it goes wrong it’s all on you but I think a lot of time it can help spur momentum and help create opportunities.

“The biggest thing I’m looking for is if there’s not the movement that we’re used to seeing – we’re not in a pattern where I can play into our eight or our ten or our six – if I do see a gap then I’ll drive and then the picture changes.

“Then you can look for a diagonal if that’s on or if that’s not on, slipping Macca [Jamie Maclaren] through or something else, but it changes the picture sometimes.

“In our shape, teams set up defensively and try to cut up passing lanes so to be able to change the picture from a different angle and drive the ball you can open up different opportunities I think.

“[Head Coach Erick Mombaerts is] encouraging us to feel comfortable on the ball and trusting us to make the right decisions. I think our decision making has been good lately and he’s supportive of that.”
