If Wgtn Lions can’t manage to win the Championship next season with mostly a fully fit squad next year it would even be more of a shocker than this year.
The WRFU Board are coming across as a farce… the chairman Laban who has a background in rugby league clearly played a big part in selecting his mate Earl Va’a as Wgtn coach, looks as though Russel should of got the job.

You forgot the netball world cup, which Australia will win easily, possibly from England in the final..
Speaking of which, Pulse should make the finals series given the new conference setup, but no way will they be in the final to beat the Swifts.
