[Quotes]

"Another good, solid performance out there. I'm pleased with the boys and we're really in the mix to grab that runners-up trophy. Top four is still a worry though, we're only tied in fourth with 2 other teams, so we can't get complacent," Matt Gretton said.

"Look, I had some new combinations out there, a completely different midfield so it was almost starting again. It's good to see those two players slotting in so comfortably and picking up ratings above 7 points."
