Finally it has happened again! We won! with 12 games under our belts we are still trying to find our way on offense and get some wins. We have already set our identity that we are a defensive team. We have been holding teams lower than their season averages but if you can’t put points on the board it doesn’t matter how good your defense is.

Earlier today we had shoot around and soon after were asked to head down into the locker room where we were all asked if we have been giving it our all. I think that hit home for a lot of guys and we came out blazing. Not shooting the lights out but mentally it seemed that everyone was ready to play this game. If we all come out like tonight switched on I can guarantee more results just like this. This win puts us at 5-8 and we still have a chance at the top 4 if we can string a nice winning streak together.

Happy with this win but you gotta put it behind you and concentrate on the next team and game. Dwelling on loses or celebrating wins too long can have a negative affect. We have to build from this and take it up another level on the road. There is an added difficulty winning games on the road and we have 4 in a row so we have plenty of time to figure out how to get it done on the road.

I would also like to thank the Cairns fans tonight. Thanks for continuing to support us through the wins and loses it’s much appreciated.
