like he mentioned earlier like they have five weeks off now but he's already kind of earmarking like mid-July looking forward to getting back on the training pitch with the team like they'll have key players back from injury who they didn't have in the running like Matt Hanson it's funny you kind of forgot he existed because he's been injured like all season but he's like one of the best attacking threats in the league and he'll be back hopefully fit and firing like even Sean Jansen who is a key man was just injured last weekend like he's generally been playing but he's like one of their best ball carriers like the young talent they have for next year as well
Like Billy Bohan, Sam Illo, who Luke mentioned, Darren Murray, who's been brilliant.
Like Harry West, who was injured as well.
I remember we were talking about him a couple of weeks ago.
He looked really good at 13.
No worries.
I just want to finish.
The new signings was the fourth thing.
Frawley obviously coming in.
Will Connors, who I know has had a lot of injury problems, so it's hard to know how available he'll be.
But another bit of depth in the team to the point Luke was making about just building out that squad.
Francis van Veek is coming from Bath as well.
Another prop to have.
And then the fifth one, an intangible thing, but a full season with a new stand, I think actually is pretty significant.
Since they've opened that new stand, the crowd, you can tell, they're coming in big numbers and it's a big atmosphere there.
And I think every game I've seen in front of that stand has really impressed me.
So I think when you put all that into the mix, Jonathan, there's a lot to be positive about heading into that new season.
Not that I was wishing away the end to this one, but I didn't think they'd have enough to win the league this year.
Whereas I just think starting next season, I can't wait to see where they are compared to where they are finishing the year now.
Yeah, definitely one team to watch heading into the new season.
