Quote: sandaltrinityfan "I hope the optimistic predictions on here are proved right!
It's very hard to judge our team at this stage because, yet again, we have a few new players in pivotal positions.
The pack does however look as good as we've had for years.
My worry is at half back, we know Tim can win a game but he has to work well with Miller.
I know Cas' have lost some good players but they have a coach who seems able to motivate 'ordinary' players.
Too close to call for me, could go either way.'"
Funny thing is for a Wakey first game of the season, this is as settled squad as I've seen in ages. True, Smith and Miller have to gel and full back needs nailing down but apart from that the spine of the team is pretty settled. Like you mention Webster looks to have pinned his hopes on the pack been big and enough and good enough for Tim Smith to do his magic, which imo isn't a bad idea at all for a team like us.
