I like the fact that we're wrote off. It takes off the pressure.
I look at the squad and think it looks like a more attacking team than defensive. That probably doesn't do us any good when it comes to winning trophies, but it will give us the mentality of going out with the attitude of we'll score more points than you. Which is a Tony Smith trait If we can do that then that will be an improvement on last season. It surely can't get much worse?
I think we'll do OK in getting back on track to where we want to be. But It'll probably be another year before we can challenge at the top again.
I actually think we will be better this year and at least stay in the fight for the full season, as most if not all, of the perceived bad apples have gone. I think Nu Brown will be every bit as good as Clifford was, he is a current Kiwi international and that takes some doing, when you consider the talent that they can call on. The pack will hopefully be better, Okunbor worries me, but Tony Smith knows more about RL than any of us on here, so he has obviously signed him with a plan, if he can hit the right lines he has nearly as much pace as our wingers, so getting down the field shouldn't be a massive issue for us. I was looking at a fans forum and the Bulldog's fans seemed upset that Pele had left, without being given a fair crack, so its up to him to prove a point and his size and speed could make him a revelation, off the bench when defences tire. All in all, we look in better shape this year and I don't think we'll be miles off the top 6, although I don't quite think we'll make it without some luck with injuries though.
