If Rāwhiti hadn't already been feeling crap enough about his performance last year, tryouts would have cemented it for him. He knew there were some people on the team who had lost a lot of faith in him as a seeker and leader, but the fact that Soren and Senna hadn't come back at all was a huge blow to the confidence he had slowly been rebuilding. If he couldn't keep his teammates around, what business did he have leading anyone at all? But it was too late to step aside now, all he could do was plough ahead. There were some pretty substantial peculiarities too - Teddy and Milo swapping positions for some reason. While he didn't exactly mind not being compared to Teddy in practices anymore, it was a shame to lose such a talented seeker. Hopefully he'd prove just as talented in front of the hoops. And as far as Milo went... well, if Rāwhiti did worse than him, it might be time to give up the sport all together.
Right now though, he had to keep a cheery face. If he showed distress, the team would see it. He couldn't let his own insecurities poison the team, not before they had even gotten started. So he smiled brightly as the team members old and new joined him on the pitch, leaning on his broom slightly as he greeted them. Once the team was assembled he cleared his throat to get their attention. "Alright, kia ora koutou, thanks everyone for being here. We've had quite a bit of a shakeup in the line up this year, so we've got a lot of work to do to build up our cohesion. We're gonna have one keeper on each side of the pitch, chasers alternate which set of hoops you're going for. I wanna see communication, supportive play, passing, don't just fly back and forth holding the ball. You'll need to get used to working as a unit, so prioritise that. Beaters, give us hell and remember that seekers are the ones the other team are gonna be targeting, so spread the hits around but make sure you're giving us a hard time, we'll need the practice. Milo, mouth closed eyes open. Everyone clear?" He asked, looking around the team for a moment before giving a decisive nod. "Right, let's go!" Rāwhiti blew his whistle and took to the sky, ready to begin his search for the snitch and praying to any god who would listen that Milo wouldn't do better than him.
