Overall, as a team I have been very impressed by what I've seen and the energy including ideas each player has brought to the session to lift the pace plus creativity. "

Kai said: " We have four matches against very good teams, Leeds Dynamos, Muscle Warriors, St George Knights, and Sale United. We know we must be on our game to get the results we want. It's all about having trust, faith in each other and that synergy is with all the team plus coaching staff. The hard work starts now and putting everything we have been working on in pre season into the matches. I know the team will do their best.”
