I know there is risk with this 9's comp and we all know our luck with injuries but I'd be taking on the 9's at full strength. I am in no way writing us off for 2014 but I think we will still struggle against some of the top teams. We have a hard draw and we are still a young side so if we make the 8 great but for me, anything above that might be seen as a good result.
So, if I had any say in this I'd be going flat out to win this 9's comp and get some money for the war chest and maybe chase those 2 players we need to be a top line side in 2015. As they say silverware is silverware....I wouldn't mind having some bragging rights!!!
It might not be a premiership but it is a good money earner so I'd be having a real dig and putting the best side I could on the field....
Merry Christmas to all my fellow Wests Tigers supporters....
