I note with amusement that souffs are once again the March Premiers in the eyes of many commentators. I'm not particularly bothered by it, but I am trying to understand their reasoning.
In the 2nd half of last season they were beaten by every top 8 team in the comp and managed to win one semi against the Raiders, which was certainly no big deal.
They have lost a number of players in Taylor, Pettybourne and Geddes. Yeah, I know they signed Teo (big deal), Lima & Champion, neither of whom I rate. I'll bet pounds to peanuts that Reynolds suffers some form of 2nd year syndrome, even DCE was down on form in year 2. Their forwards are seriously injury prone, their backs are weak and Sutton can't play average (that's all he was last season) two seasons in a row, he will fall back to the usual rubbish.
I have them on the fringe of the 8.
