So the question that really needs answering is..........

Is the future as bright as the club seem to make out?

All that shows are the show pony stats. It's doesn't show how many tackles he's made how many carries a game he has or how many metres he's made.

I suppose it depends on whether you also believe them when they say We've trained well this week, We've learned a lot from our latest thrashing and The team spirit is tremendous.

We no I haven't believed that for months.

But as Mr Monster and Red have seen them recently I was hoping they or anyone else can restore my faith in what the club tell us.

I think the only difference is that we will field a team of world beaters - but only at 4 minutes a time.
