Quote: Phuzzy "It's interesting to hear people including yourself saying that you don't think we'll be in the trophies. We're among the top 3 or 4 sides in the comp so we're definitely in with a chance otherwise the no.1 ranked team would do the clean sweep every year! And that's before we get to the likes of Sheffield etc winning trophies against all the odds.
Saints might look to have the advantage at the moment but it's a long season. Get French and Havard in and we might move a level up. Saints have been relatively lucky with injuries over the last 3 seasons. There's no guarantees that will continue. Most of all form changes over the course of a season. If we're firing on all cylinders come the end of the season (or Saints aren't for that matter) it could look a whole lot different. Most importantly of all, finals are two horse races. We were shoe-ins to win the GF in 2014, Saints to beat Catalans in the CC similar and we know what happened on those days and many others besides.
The trophies aren't handed out in March.'"
We absolutely could win something but personally I don’t think we will. We’ll tell plenty over this next 4-6 weeks now when we play Catalans and then Saints and maybe my confidence will grow after that. I think I’m just trying to stay pretty level about things. I don’t expect a trophy but I do expect vast improvements and I think we’re getting that. I do see one or two areas that we can really look to improve in via recruitment and I’m confident if we retain who we need to and sign players to plug any gaps, we’ll be right in the mix next season. Who knows, maybe we’ll get there ahead of my made up schedule but I’m feeling pretty comfortable with how we’re looking.
