Well done on the win. It was 4 all, then it was 8 - 4 at half time (goodrun). Then we won 15 - 7. I think we out ran them as much as we out playedthem. It was a good start, we have some things to sort out.

New boys,Carlos, Mick, Nick, Welcome. Old boys, g'day. Chadwick and Jangles, you bothcome down to the field and supporting your team while you are injured, thatis the kind of action that makes us the best team in this competition. Welldone. Looking forward to getting you blokes back on the field.

This one is important to me. 75% of this team played their first BPL in thepast 2 or 3 leagues. Most of us are only just coming out of being 'new', weare all still learning, we are all still improving. We have to work togetherto get better as a group and as individuals. We have all made mistakes onthe field, we all will again, most of us did tonight. I did. When you aretalking to your team mates, do it considering the above please.Be excited, be loud, be desperate, expect and request effort and intensityfrom your team mates. Do it with positivity. Yell TO your team mates not ATyour team mates. First game .....
