Il stick to mine to marra I'm not going to pretend that no matter where they are from a bit of stardust is a bad thing, but all Aussies aren't superstars. We have had some belters but also some duck eggs. Fingers crossed you don't get any duck eggs eh! The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

Think refs and the disciplinary are going to be really hard on any hits after the ball has been passed, but it’s a very difficult one to judge whether somebody can pull out of a tackle. As long as everybody receives the same punishment and there is consistency in the decision making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il stick to mine to marra It takes more than 5 gàmes to get up to championship standard. You'll have noticed nobody is under any illusions how tough it's going to be. If we can avoid the 3 game wobble we had last year we'll have a right dig . Turning good performances into wins is the tricky bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about sustainability. Last time I looked there were plenty of Cumbrians in the Whitehaven squad. The best strategy is to stay in the division,a few quality imports added to a predominantly Cumbrian Squad worked for Haven last year so understandably they’ve chosen to go the same route this year.
