Because we are spending close to the cap.......so are most other teams now.
That isn't a guarantee of anything.
It gives us a good chance but there's a lot of other things that will get us the 6-9th place.
Luck with injuries, player ability to transition from Championdhip, player and coach ability to deal with adversity.....etc.
I do think we will be competitive but it's not going to be easy.
Well, all that doesn’t just apply to us but the other 11 teams too naturally.
We have made a huge investment into player care and back room with chefs, physio to an England international standard, recovery rooms.
We appear to be giving ourselves a better chance than ever.
Nobody said it will be easy and it looks a competitive Superleague with likely a good 6 or so teams all capable of finishing anywhere between 6-12th.
I have a lot of confidence in the players to step up to SL level on what I’ve seen. The forwards especially. All bar 2 backs are SL rested too and the pivots. I feel we are in a good position assuming we get the pre season right and the players reach that level of fitness we ended last season on and improve even further.
I’m feeling more confident for 2025 that we will be fighting for something come the end. We may not reach the playoffs offs but it will be nice of we are talking about them a few games to go rather than looking at other teams fight it out.
I can’t wait for 2025.
