Brilliant post and very much in keeping with my thoughts....we should be looking at what we have and there is a lot to be positive about. Really looking forward to this season and seeing some new players.

Great post. I'm looking forward to this season, more than I was the last. We don't have a team full of superstars nor can we afford one. The key this season is whether Stones and Walsh can make a difference and get the most out of our players, who on the face of it appear to have a lot of potential, with a number of players out to prove themselves at this level.

Well I can't disagree with any of that either. Most hopeful that in the new signings all have something to prove, to want to get in to SL, or back into SL, to prove themselves for a NRL shot, or to simply get in to a sound club environment and aim for a starting spot.

Our existing players from last year will have learnt from the horrors of the Middle 8's and will be extra determined to avoid that.

Lots of positives then not least in RS and new conditioner. Will be very interested to see who gets the nod for the 17 in the first game.

Hoping for Top 8 and anything better is a bonus.

Love the positivity and hoping to see much improved focus and determination resulting from it from players and fans.

Bring it on now - COYG

Well most of the players who have gone, I have been advocating we let go for quite some time, so i am obviously not disapointed . It's not that they were poor players, they were not going to get better and so neither were the Giants. I really feel we have the potential to build a good side going forward, All will depend on RS of course but i feel quite confident about things, this time simply because we have plenty of youth in the squad.

If we make the top 8 it will be good progress.Get off to a good start who who knows we could push for top 4.
