Think it is going to take more than 3 forwards from Ozz to make us into a regular top 6 side . When Max is out we lose our shape big time
Why be so unnecessarily pessimistic?
It's our first year back in Super League with a very young side, including all our foreign players and we still managed to get into the Top 6, even though we had the 2nd worst injury crisis of any club in SL. That to me show what we're about as a cluib nowadays and it took a load of effort and skill, which shows where we can get to next season with better luck with injuries and with the addition of the likes of Jazz, Smoothy and
Tray Lolesio, plus whoever else we might add.
All our players after this years experience are only gonna get better and learn from it. Caius, Vagana, Seth, Uele, Rodwell, Stourton, Hall, Pratt, Scott, Smith, Myers and Rourke, they're all 25 and under. We also managed to get in that top 6, missing so many of that pack, and spine, on and off all year. We really did have some crazy patch worked sides, with back rowers & hookers playing as middles and Pitts and Jowitt playing as half backs. For me it's pretty amazing we achieved what we did and beat the sides we did. With a little more consistency, we'd have made that Top 6 even easier as well, if we converted just half of those 4/6 point games we lost next time.
While I'm sure it's not just me, I'm really looking forward to next season, riding this high at Trinity & continue to improve the ground and pack it out again & hopefully finish higher and have a better run in the play-offs and Challenge Cup.
