We have played at home and it doesn't seem to be a hindrance to us, but it does for the other teams. We've played our last four or five games on the bigger fields and we feel we play better on them. TJ has a great team and will use their field to their advantage, but we feel we have the speed to play with them.

They're really looking forward to playing and getting on the field. This could be a big game for us. It won't clinch the title, but being up two games in the section with two games left would put us in a good situation. They're very excited about it, but they know it's going to be hard work.

It's a good win for us to start out the season here at home.

We've had our clothes ripped off us, jackets going missing, scratches all down our backs -- and then we go home to our mums.

It's time we all came home. I mean there's no reason for us to be over there anymore. I think the mission is complete and I think what we set out to do is been done, people have suffered enough.

The way everything went down last year was a little awkward for both of us just given the situation and how well the team ended up playing and how far we ended up going. It's one of those situations where the front office makes decisions. I was happy that I was able to finally get a chance to prove my worth as a starter.
