In my opinion, we are on our way to becoming great again.

Our defence and attitude will win us a stack of games this year and most importantly Arthur is developing a winning culture.

Why do you think we will continue to improve as a club? Discuss.

Juniors. Lets face it we have been woefull in this department. Who have we bought thru since Hayne? Guys like Alvaro, Terepo , morgan.
Untill recently we have produced Bevan, Tepai who could be potential stars.
I reckon we will start to bring a good flow of juniors once again. Twal will be next.
Id like to see a junior every year making it and one of quality. Not a toiler.

What about a quality toiler?
Exactly. The game has changed so much, especially defence. Your worst player is now as influential as your best player, from a defensive point of view. For that reason toilers might not be in fashion but they are more important than ever.

David Gower is a perfect example of a quality toiler I reckon.

Alvaro and Terepo are both better players than Gower. So is Moeroa and Kritchard. All 'local' juniors.

Why i made special mention of teps and Bevan...Alvaro-terepo are your bottom 30% Nrl players.
Kaysa maybe great but in 3 yrs he may also be flished out. Its a bit early to tell i think. Producing guys like Alvaro/Morgan quality isn't hard. Should be churning 2-3 guys like that a year.

Alvaro will be starting season in wenty with terepo,hasson,twal,tanginao,obrien all wanting first grade. He will either take a big step forward or quite a few back.
Obrien i see dropping right off but the others will push hard.
