I’m a big fan of all the recruits and we clearly have a superior side to last year. However I think the difference between us being contenders (top 6) and just making up the numbers will almost entirely come down to whether
Chanel Harris-Tavita can take a significant step forward this season. If his end to last season can be the launching pad to him having a blinder in 2021, then there’s definitely hope. However we won’t be playing too many disinterested final round Manly sides etc, so at this stage I’m not super confident.
If
Chanel Harris-Tavita doesn’t take it to another level then I think there could be quite a bit of disappointment on this forum.
