Quote: Zook Ema's Hose "Securing Drinkwater as now looks certain puts us very much in the mix for top 5 (stated target)'"
I think it puts us in the mix for 5 - 9, we still have too many uncertainties in pivotal positions, Hooker, Full back, Loose.
Had we started with a fully fit Lunt and Quinlan then I'd be looking firmly at 5th, without we will need to gel very quickly and have some luck.
Injuries are the big unknown, as has been seen clubs can go from real contenders to also rans very quickly off the back of a key injury or 2, likewise they can go under the radar and have a real run if they keep a fit team.
