Retaining 18 of our 21 Premiership players puts the Club in a great position to start season 2018. Long term-injured player John Greenslade has started pre season and is eager to cement his spot in the League side.

Premiership Under 18 and Reserve players are also pushing for senior selection. There is going to be some interesting selection nights for the coaching staff next season. Our depth is the best in years.
