“However that ends up with playing and coaching, who knows?
“I might hurt myself tomorrow and it’ll be four years of coaching or I might play for three years and do one year of coaching.”
“I’m pretty open to all those things.
“I’m sure we’ll get to round 18 or round 20 and whether I play or coach next year will be on the table to discuss then behind closed doors.”
