We expected McAlister to play against us, because he was so effective in the third Test against the Lions. They obviously have a plan. We must just choose the best possible team to beat the All Blacks.
We missed a lot of tackles, and to beat a team like that you have to do a better job of tackling.
We had to get my teammates to really believe in it.
We have been looking forward to this day. The talent in the AFL has improved dramatically from my first years in the league where now teams are deep enough that they can't protect everyone. On top of that, the free-agent market is loaded with players that have solid arena experience. We just held our first open tryout last month and hosted over 200 quality players. This is going to be fun, starting from scratch and building a competitive team.
My team fought hard. I don't like losing. Everybody can't win all the time.
I - and I think many other observers - thought Ichiro would be the one to say no and Hideki would say yes. I think he's grateful to (George) Steinbrenner for the new contract and the confidence in him. He feels more of an obligation to Steinbrenner than he does to Japan. It's not about the money, it's about the vote of confidence. I think he thought it would be rude to leave the team in spring training. If he hadn't just signed the contract, maybe he would have gone.
I thought it was very significant for us as a team to know we have answers outside of handing the ball to Brian Calhoun 40 times.
I think what it can do for you is center you on the values your team has and make sure you appreciate and honor those values - and consistently honor them,
I was really conscious when I went down there that I needed to gain the respect of my new team mates. Respect is a really big thing in rugby. That is what spurred me on to improve my game.
I think there is a correlation if you have a whole team of guys who can't process information,
Lassen is one of those teams you don't want to play. They're 0-14 and they're not that bad.
I feel like I'm always in a groove, ... When my team needs me, I'll be there for them.
We struggled against a good football team but I'm proud of the way we responded and very pleased with the way we ran the ball.
We have taken a couple of tough losses. We started the season 3-0, but we have been grounded a little bit. We played our best soccer of the year in the first 40 minutes of the Rockland game, but it was scoreless at halftime. We had a couple of breakdowns at the start of the second half and Rockland is a good team and they took advantage to them.
