Boltons game plan's and in game tactics are still unproven and he is also learning as a novice coach.... I think he needs to show improvement as well as the players.
Curnow, SPS, Marchbank, Fisher, Williamson, Pickett, Cuningham have all now played a clutch of games and the upside there is enormous. And I am genuinely hopeful this group will improve our scoring options significantly.
Throw in some probable growth in Kennedy and Lang, and #3 in the draft and there is serious optimism.
If McKay and/or Kerr can click as well, and Levi keeps kicking straight, we will trouble plenty of sides. I know GIbbs is a loss, but with that comes the opportunity for others to step up.
It may not show on the W-L ratio, but if we can be in as many games as we were last year, this time we will win more.
A lot of ifs, but 10 wins is not out of the question.
