NSW rugby

The last time i tasted victory in the Agong cup tournament was year 2000. I am very proud to be part of the team. Although I was a regular in the NICC team was was very much regelated to the bench in the Agong cup tournament. Though I was dissapointed, i was very determined to get the spot back in the next campaign. In 2001, i was very active the first game was playing againts an Argentinian team.. Sereli Naqelevuki was at that time playing for Perak, played for us. Now he is playing for WP Stomers in Cape Town. I have already played two games in the 2001 NICC games.. my feel for the game has just left me.. I cannot explain why.. its just gone.. just like that... I when to see BJ and told him that i want to quit, i cited i have lost the passion for the game.. I do not know why.. I did not even care to watch any rugby... some say i was "merajuk" nope.. its just i seriously lost interest in the game.. though in 2003, the passion came back.... started to play with Storm and the then defunct Labu Rangers.. I officially cameback to NSW in 2004.. am i am still enjoying playing and very honored to don the yellow and red. What i love most is the camaradie, the spirit and the values the team has.. we might not win every game but we hell gonna give the best shot.. Once i tried playing for another team for fun. though it really does not suits me.. i am used to the culture of displined and competitivenes of NSW , i was culture shocked as players came in late, not having enough players minutes before kick off, players doing their own thing and so and so, maybe its their way of doing things... at NSW, its a culture to there 1 hour before kick off, warms up and train together... doing everything together and competing for to play in the first team. These ethics are not developed over time.. its a culture that has been developed over time and passed to generations...

Thanks faiz for sending me this picture...
