Said before the season that we are still in a rebuild from our 2019 spoon and then covid came and put the league in disarray. Our boys haven’t had a a lot of time together to develop structures, not really.
Throw in Vlandys ball changing the game from completions and grind to possession and defence which were two of our weakest areas for the last decade and I wasn’t optimistic that we would be shaking the trees of the top dogs this year.
But looking on the bright side it seems we’ve unearthed some uncut gems all at once. Marzhew, sexton, Campbell have all looked good this year and with great contributions from guys like Herbert joliffe Moe fermor we have a solid nucleus for a squad next season with more competition in the spine with fuller Brimson turner and possibly weaver (I think he’s too young but he’s got the goods). We also have our tweed and Burleigh juniors coming through which will build on this as the first round of true JTS juniors are beginning to sprout
Overall we are we I expected we would be. Physically stronger but still mentally weak
