‘I think that when you have a few days off, you’re always concerned as a coach [about] coming back physically and mentally ready for the players. They’ve had a game and they’ve had a couple days off, and you’ve got to make sure [that] when they come back, we’re ready to go. Credit to the players, they came back with good intensity. Obviously, we don’t ever want to get into scuffles with our own guys, but it’s sometimes the nature of the beast. [We need to] take care of our guys; we’ve only got one team, but the intensity, the effort, the mindset coming back from a day off is what we were looking for.’
