Well i'm ever the optimist and hopeful for a much improved season.
A younger squad, bigger pack and some players with points to prove bodes well for what's to come.
As Smith alluded to in his recent league express interview, having a much younger squad as seen a much more intense pre season.
Signings wise, Walker and Nu Brown are quality additions. Although only Doncaster, Tindall and Smith both looked very good and think they'll both prove to be astute signings.
Ashworth certainly has the talent and it's great to hear that he's moved over to Hull and he certainly seems to have the bit between his teeth to get his career back on track.
Excited by the NRL signings. Ese Ese is a quality player and Pele and Okunbor again seem determined to make their mark.
Really looking forward to seeing a big pack once again after the last few seasons.
We only really had Satae and Griffin last season who brought us some impact.
Sao didn't have a pre season so never really got going. Taylor was playing busted and was never really fully fit. Savelio when he could be bothered was a handful but just wasn't consistent and we all know his attitude issues.
So, although i think we'll just miss out on the six, i'm confident we'll be much improved. COYH
