i'm with you doona. it will all depend on how the young blokes stand up against the top teams.Wasn't saying they're a flag threat, but from a quick look they appear to play the better ranked teams once so they might sneak into 5th which would be a huge progression and one they can build on in '08.
against violet town they were fantastic, but when the game was up for grabs 1/2 way through the last Q they made some critical mistakes. not blaming them, you cant expect a 17-18 yr old kid to make the right decision every time.
This will come with experience and if avenel can keep the group they have together and add a couple of quality players next year lookout.
as for this year it would be great to see them play finals but i won't be confident of that until they have played the likes of stanhope, ardmona and rushy.
