I'm really proud of the kids' effort. It was an improvement over the past two games.

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.

The only way to fix my past mistakes is to change my present behaviour.

This is an improvement over what we have seen in the past.
