The Kevolution has implemented a “breathing for warriors” technique borrowed from former All Black captain Kieran Read. Excitement machine Jamayne Isaako says it's aimed at settling agitated minds and banishing on-field bickering:
“We introduced that to the team this week and getting our blue heads on instead of our red heads when things don’t go our way. We did that when we scored tries, just refocused our mindsets to get to our next set and get to a kick which is crucial against the good teams. We have been too much red head. We have a lot of boys in the team that let you know when you haven’t done your job and that affects the confidence of some boys."
Quickly, point to your head.
“We have a really young team and we need a bit more positivity and give positive feedback instead of negatives which will lift the team and get the boys firing. Kevvie came up with it and all the boys had to buy into it. It was something we needed."
“The last two weeks we have gone through lapses where teams have scored on us back-to-back and it has hurt our confidence. We needed to get back to a refocused mentality.”
“I sat down with Kevvie throughout the week and discussed how to get myself more involved in the game. For me, as a fullback, it’s building combinations with my centres and wingers and I certainly linked up with them tonight. We played together as a team and if we play consistent and complete our sets at 80 per cent and winning that field position, we can put the foot on the throat.”
