Will be interesting to see our side for the opener v Garlic munching ferals…

must admit haven’t seen much of the pre season fixtures, but sounds like we’ve been playing 2nd string sides in the league with a number of league ‘regulars’ from seasons past in the 2’s…???

Thoughts lads…?

Feeling a bit the same about this one, have not seen any pre season, however am quite confident we can start the year with a win, a loss would be a a let down for mine after some upbeat talk.

Lets hope for a decent turn out, our attendances last year were shocking.

In our first scratchie against Subi we had half of our senior players & the rest were made up of colts & resies. Last week against EP we had a few more thus a stronger showing. Saunders & Dell'Olio will make a big difference when they come back in and play together.

Members & supporters turn away quickly when teams continue to lose games.
Early wins is the key here to success and then the fans will come more often than not.

Yep , sure do Roman, see you there mate.

Been a long pre-season with some new reworking done in areas & specific recruiting carried out

Will see a few guys in what might be considered unfamiliar positions but that will only be good for the overall mix

Nice to see Cooky back to full fitness & Hamsy back with us after a stellar few years at Swans

Huge competition for places in the league side this year

Should be a cracking game against the Cardies at the Boneyard & unfortunately I'm back on my work swing so will miss the first one - best of luck to both sides !!

Late Edit: Just wanted to make special mention of #9 Kris Miller - I am gonna miss Millsy for a fair while & it's not going to be easy seeing someone else running around in his jumper - good luck wherever you play this year champion , you were a star mate - cheers for getting us to a flag & getting one for yourself after a long distinguished career , 3 cheers to yaaaaaaa!

Go hard you mighty Staffordshires

Thanks gents...looking fwd to this

Hope to cook sum rancid garlic...
