(S24) - PT 4 - Trial by Fire

[gbfn]

Coming into the leage Heinrich was picked off waivers by Myrtle Beach. He got a bit lucky there as this was the season where the Buccaneers went on a title run. Though he didn't contribute much to the success - he accounted for - hold your breath - 1 Tackle, he still was on the roster.
The first time he really felt like he was part of the league was when he was drafted by the Portland Pythons. He was a major contributor right off the bat in the team. Unfortunately the Pythons weren't able to compete for a trophy that year. Still, after the test run in the DSFL and staying a max earner made him confident to compete at the next level. Going number 3 OA to the Honolulu Hahalua, boosted his confidence hugely. They decided to let him play right away and he didn't disappoint. After a stellar season with well over 100 tackles the second season proves to be a bit more difficult individually.
In the second season there is a bit of a drop off from his performance of his rookie season. On the other hand he is really glad about the team performance. With 12 games played Honolulu is sitting on top of the ASFC with 7-5 competing for a play off spot.
It remains to be seen if the Lua really make it to the post season. If they did he certainly could look over the fact, that his stats are a bit off.
