Casey has shown a lot of improvement in the first couple of games. Alex was hurt for a while and Casey was able to get a lot of reps in.

That's something that hurt us in a few games late this year. It would have been nice to knock a few down.

It was a big improvement. Southland is a good side, they've won four games now, and we weren't too far away from them. Bay of Plenty has been playing well too, and is going to be tough to beat on their home track, but we played well on the weekend and will be heading down there with a bit of confidence as a result of that.

Little and York had good games. The offensive line also showed improvement.

In recent games, our most improvement has been in limiting our turnovers. We're still turning the ball over too much, but we're improving in that area. Defensively, we're fine. It's our turnovers that are giving our opponents double their chances.

Before he got hurt he was averaging about 20 points a game over the last five games. And Burke is coming along well, too. Dan's really helped them both.
