beat job missed team
We missed a lot of tackles, and to beat a team like that you have to do a better job of tackling.
against beat best choose effective expected obviously possible team test third
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.
bit maintain played since team
It was a little bit different since I had to get things started. Usually I have to maintain things when I come into the game. I thought I played okay. A lot of times I could've done better in getting the team into things.
change normally teams win winning
Teams that win normally don't change much. The teams aren't winning are making the changes.
conscious gain improve needed respect team
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.
advantage best couple good grounded half minutes played season second soccer start taken team took tough year
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.

answers ball brian handing outside team
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.
confidence contract feels grateful leave maybe obligation observers rude signed spring team vote
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.
everybody fought team win
My team fought hard. I don't like losing. Everybody can't win all the time.

I feel like I'm always in a groove, ... When my team needs me, I'll be there for them.
believe teammates
We had to get my teammates to really believe in it.
arena building deep forward held improved last league loaded looking market month open players protect quality scratch solid starting talent teams top
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.
bad behind bounce figure kick last ourselves team time trouble younger
It's one of those things where you know the team is better than the way we've played. We see it from time to time. Trouble is, our bad stretches last a little longer, which comes from us having a younger team. We haven't been able to figure out how to kick ourselves in the behind and bounce back faster.
