Leeds United striker Mark Viduka seemed in a relaxed mood despite the new managerial crisis engulfing the club.
Australian Viduka was dropped from the Leeds side for the game against Portsmouth last Saturday following another row with boss Peter Reid, who has now been fired by the club.
Viduka joked that if he had found out sooner he might have travelled to the JJB Stadium to watch Australia defeat Great Britain in the Rugby League first Test.
"They should have told me before," joked Viduka. "I would have planned (to go to the first Test)."
Speaking of the pressure at Leeds, Viduka added: "I'm used to it.
"It's part of the game. Last year we were under a lot of pressure as well and we're under it again.
"Pressure-wise I'm used to it. It's life, it's football life over here. Nobody pays you nothing for nothing."
