Fortunately, the now leaders at PP, from President to CEO to senior coach are rich in a winning mentality... now for that to filter deeply into the minds and hearts of the playing group.
Sayers got a little carried away before the start of last season but Vossy and Cook are savvy enough to focus expectations on how we play and let the wins and losses take care of themselves. However, despite our horrific run of injuries and some match day bad luck, the cat is out of the bag; we have the personnel and game plan to match it with any team in the competition. Our favourable draw can't help to raise supporters' expectations and there shouldn't be any excuses for not playing finals (that's finals plural).
I imagine that Vossy will be impressing on the playing group that our draw won't get us into the finals, hard work and sticking to the program will.
