Compared to last year it seems we have hit the ground running. The boys are super fit and they appear to be highly motivated. We aren't behind the eight ball regarding rule changes this year either. I don't want to be guilty of a post-first round jizzfest but surely we will go very close this year if injuries are kind to us. If I was a betting man I would start saving for my grand final tickets.

We are super fit and playing like a side half way into the comp.
We have the best backline I have ever seen at our club. Our forwards are very strong - against North Qld they were rolling thunder
Most importantly everyone is happy and pulling together - as opposed to last season.
I am very excited about this season.

Its one game fellas, might want to get a grip on your expectations.
Not saying we aren't contenders, the comp is pretty weak right now so its there for the taking for any team that can hit some form in september. But a big win in round 1 has never ultimately been much of an indicator come the back end of the season (nor has a big loss).
Our depth is going to be our linchpin this season, particularly in the forwards. Napa and Evans played well on the weekend but that was against a thoroughly destroyed pack by the time Moa and JWH were through with them. One starting prop injury and we look much weaker up front given that would force Napa to start and then bring dropsy Kennedy back into the team.
Long season ahead. I expected a top 8 and week 2 exit this season so anything above that is a bonus as far as I'm concerned

We certainly looked better balanced across the park. Our back rowers were on fire last week, as were our centres, props, back three... The forward rotation worked really well, and Jake's stand in was very handy.
I always like FPN but I think he was a timely release.
We look like a team this year.
