Maybe hearing Garry Lyon mention we will come last in 2018, or so many doom and gloom stories about a supposed massive rebuild, made me think what our best 22 might look like next year.
Hurn Barrass Sheppard
Duggan McGovern Yeo
Gaff Sheed Jetta
Cripps Vardy/Lycett Lecras
Darling Kennedy Rioli
Nic Nat Shuey Redden
Vernables Partington Hutchings Cole/Emac
To me, there is no reason why with a bit more polish in close games, the return of nic nat, some pace with youth like vernables and another crumbing forward like rioli, we could still quite easily challenge for top 4 again next year.
Of all those guys lecras is probably the only older guy with a question mark, but i reckon with an injury free pre season he could contribute for 1 more.
Or is my outlook too optimistic
