Tyler Spitz feeding off winning habit as Tigers make it five on the trot in Hong Kong Premiership
The 27-year-old gives it his all as his side notch a 24-22 win over HKFC, while Valley and Scottish also salute
They have won five on the trot and Tyler Spitz says the Borrelli Walsh USRC Tigers have developed a winning habit that few would have thought possible when the 27-year-old joined the club less than three years ago.
The Tigers were coming off a winless 2014-15 season when Spitz arrived and built slowly in his first two years, before exploding this season to be 6-2 after Saturday’s 24-22 win over Natixis HKFC.
“Winning is a habit and we are starting to learn how to finish games, it’s amazing to get five on the trot,” Hong Kong-born Spitz said. “It’s a bit of a turn this season, these are games we would have lost last year and the year before.
“When you go through a winless season, it takes a few seasons to build into something bigger. It’s been a process, each year we’ve got a little bit better and we have really hit it this year.”
Spitz is also a key member of the Hong Kong side and says that being part of a winning team at club level augurs well for his performances at national level.
