Quote: jonh "My concern for 2025 is the quality of our spine and the ability of our relatively inexperienced centres.
Our spine in particular has questions marks across every position. Lino has struggled in SL, Russell has generally been back up. Trueman is quality but injuries have stunted his development.
Max has been outstanding this year but I do worry about his pace and he has been prone to defensive lapses however I hopeful a year out on SL has given him time to develop.
9 is my biggest concern, I think this is maybe our weakest position across the squad.
If I’m honest I’m thinking 10th in 2025 however I’m hopeful we can get into the top 8 in which case it will be an excellent return.
Our props/middles are undoubtedly our strength and hopefully those boys can lay a platform most weeks to get our spine playing on the front foot.'"
Your spot on about our spine said the same and been shot down .9 is a big worry two inexperienced young players who are not ready for S L and the first choice Nine can tackle but no kicking game of speed for attack Got told at Championship final that Truman was a Marquee signing . If true it is a big risk for a player who as played less than half the games in two year .Hope you are right about the pack .they went well last year, but S L is a big step up .This year is a free hit at S L so if we are clear of the bottom 2 i will be happy
