I reckon if we can have a really solid pre-season, there is more improvement in us than some competitors.
Up front we need a big contribution from Holroyd and Oledski next year, with support from Lisone and Sangare and Hudson vying for a place.
I think our props will look better if our backs are making fewer mistakes and putting us into unnecessary D. Incorrect PTBs and drops were killing us last year at times. We should be a more offensive team as we will be playing a little tighter and applying pressure, you would hope.
I would expect our spine to work better immediately than we saw in 2023; pretty much all 4 are an upgrade in consistency and/or quality.
We have loads of questions to find answers for but we have the capability to win something now I think. Injuries and form will have a big part to play - also RS's coaching credentials are on the line as his team should have more potential. Barring a horrible injury run I'll be joining the Voodoo Crew if we don't finish top half at least in 2024, don't think there can be any excuses not to given the investment made in the squad and the facilities we have for players at Leeds.
I know we can all read too much into things but I do get the feeling from the social media output that Rohan is putting a lot of emphasis on team bonding in pre season, I think last year was a lot more turbulent than we probably know about. I'm hoping Rohan has cleared any of the major issues in that respect out.
They do seem a happy bunch in pre season, but as I say could be reading too much into it.
I am really intrigued and excited to see how we go I think we've got a pretty exciting squad and have the ingredients to be able to play some great rugby.
Still think Lachie Miller will be the fans favourite signing come the end of next season, I hope Im proved right!
