The message has gone out - Whakarewarewa must play with a more "flowing style" if they are to win in the team's first away match of the Baywide Premier competition, according to head coach Joe Savage.
Whaka take on Greerton Marist at Greerton Park tomorrow - looking to record a second straight win after last weekend's narrow 24-20 scalp over Te Puna.
While Greerton, a weakened side from last season, will be aiming to bounce back after losing 54-12 against Te Puke on Saturday.
Despite the positive first result, Savage warned much improvement was needed and focus in this week's training was on creating "more options and opportunities" and cleaning up on discipline after two players were sin binned in the team's last outing.
"We need more of a solid platform. We've looked closely at discipline - not as individuals but as a defensive unit. We need to get off that line quickly and get in their faces," Savage said.
