Behrendorff said his time at Subiaco-Floreat had been beneficial and that he had got used to a remodeled action to prevent further injuries.

« I haven’t changed my action significantly, but I’ve tinkered a few things to put myself in a slightly different position so hopefully I can move forward rather than a little on the side, » he said.

« I’ve probably only seen Richo in the last almost two months, I haven’t seen the rest of my team in a long time, » said Behrendorff.

« It will be very nice to see you again. It’s been a long time and we’re getting back together as a full squad for the first time on Tuesday, which will be very exciting. « . ”
