The Hard Road To The Premiership

[LP]

Reckon we will be doing quite well to hold on to our ladder position from last year. Can't see us getting past that given the number of new faces we have on the list.

Yes I agree.

I don't think we will see the winning / losing streak we saw last season, at least I hope we don't, if we do we haven't progressed.

I'm hoping we see us winning some close ones, with a balanced mix of expected wins and losses. Along with fewer games like those ones last year in which we never looked like a serious opponent.

I suspect our defence might be a little weaker this year, as much as Tuohy is maligned by many supporters he was a very effective negator. Plus the retirement of Jamison removes an experienced head on and off the field.

I'll be interested to see the effect 1AW has on the young players, if he's effective we should see them rapidly looking fitter and stronger by mid-season. I suspect he'll either make them or break them in this regard, he punished himself at times from a endurance and aerobic fitness perspective which is not always a good thing.
