1. I am loving the feel and balance of the squad. Barring injuries and the usual NRL bias, I think we can do this. If not this year, next year, but I say yes!
1: Parramatta's defence needs to improve out of sight for them to have a chance, they were terrible defending there own line last year. Hope they have been learning to tackle. Eels only made the 8 on back of Moses kicking game and Sivo scoring some freaky tries. In saying that going into this year they have the same spine almost the same team, big ins with Matterson and Gillard, Matterson on the edge will cause massive headaches for other teams. Johns helping the halves is a big in ( yes they can if they improve there defence )
Our Roster was terrible in 2018 we won't be near the bottom. We could win it I guess, Roosters are weaker this year.Storm and NRL will want to win for Smith so that will be against us.Would be the greatest victory ever if we beat Storm in the GF.heres hoping.
Gutherson is not an elite fullback and an average captain. Mahoney and Brown are in their second year and unlikely to be the force we need in those big moments against the elite teams. With time, they will. Moses is yet to prove himself against the good sides. I'm not convinced that any team could win a comp with Moses at 7. I'm hopeful that he can be the general we need, noting his marked improvement last year and the fact he is being coached by Sir Joseph Johns. However, Moses has always been vulnerable mentally, he has never been hampered by lack of instinct or skills, and I'm not sure Joey can bridge that gap for him.
I think next year we have a much better shot. We will be this year's Raiders from 2019.

"How does getting Lomax stop our fowards getting older ?
If onething I'm not worried about is BAs ability to develop fowards or the importance of our much vaunted R and R committee finding fowards.
Paulo looks like he has a new lease of life in his…"
"Personally I don't think gaining Lomax would cost us Talagi. He had a great 1st game and could possibly be better than Lomax when he gets going. He could move to the wing for some time to develop then move to the centres later. If he becomes better…"
"
I totally agree with your comments regarding the importance and benefits regarding local juniors at discounted rates, however, this is only a factor with their 1st contract if they show promise. Once a player starts showing they have regular…"

Do we have the outside backs to win? Yes
Do we have the spine to win? No
