actual encouraged game laws moment negative negativity reward rewarding rugby side sort spiral tackle tries trying
There has to be some sort of officiating of the actual laws of the game. Rugby is in a really negative spiral at the moment where the game is rewarding negativity at the tackle contest. There is no reward at all for trying to play rugby. We're a side that actually tries to play rugby and we're not being encouraged to play.
blame detroit game happy leg loss shots taking tough trying
We got happy just taking the threes. After a tough game (a 95-89 loss at Detroit on Friday), you may not have the leg strength. That was key. We were trying to penetrate and kick. The shots didn't go down. Just don't blame it on shooting. You can never blame a loss on shooting. It's what you do defensively.
certainly competition few final left might name next players squad three trying yes
What we need is competition for places. We are certainly trying to engender that. When we name the final squad you could find that yes there might be a few established players left out of the squad. We'll find that out over the next two or three weeks.

Justin had a definite time line in Australia. We'd get a lot of value out of trying to win Test matches trying to play him now but in the end we'd only have him until now.

We got ourselves into a position to win the game and we let ourselves down again. It's not good enough.

We certainly looked at George's form as you do with every player's form at the end of the season but he'll go on tour as captain.
dreams enjoy game kid send shots win
You enjoy being put in that position. You want to be in that position. As a kid you always think about making big shots to win a game or send a game into overtime. Even to this day, I still have dreams like that.

You look at him and he's just a born footballer.
beat finish game last played points win
Every game we played them (Dallas) was close, other than the last game. Actually we were up 19 points in that game, and we let them come back and beat us, we know we can win a game there. I think for us, it's can we finish games?
