Pretty fair assesment but I would add to that "Their halves are good". Please do the same for St Merge.
One of their halves is good. Other has def potential.
Saints -
Forwards were shown up last year. Lack mongrel. Need one the new mob to make a name for his self.
Backs are still good 1 through 5. Some changes obviously at 1 & 3, but I believe they have the talent available to fill it.
Halves fortunes are directly linked to the forwards. Hornby can do his job. Soward needs a good year. It will be all over for him if he goes through a rough patch and spit the dummy. Kyle Stanley (IMO)is already the best 6 at the club and is a lay down rep player should he avoid injury.
Saints supporter in me says dark horse if we can get a couple of things clicking. The squad is deep enough and has premiership and rep experience across the park. AND.... our coach has a perfect record.
Premiership.
Nah. Fighting for the 4 at best. 5th to 8th realistically. Back in the pack if the forwards don;t step up.
There's always that 2010 Victory Pack to lift the spirits though. My feeling is a rebuild this year, active in the player market, consolidate next year and be in the mix, then back in the elite group in 2014.
Or, the world will end on December 21st and I'll die a happy and contented man.
PS - You wouldn't be interested in giving us Jezza back, would you?
