+1 re team.
I also think that in general we're not playing like the reigning premiers (for whatever reason), and there's a big question mark surrounding if or when we will. I am relatively confident we will (with a bit of luck with injuries) be right for September, but if we don't make top 4, then it doesn't look good for the flag defence. It looks like at this stage that there's only really going to be 2 top 4 spots up for grabs, given how many wins the Hawks and Cats are stringing together. It's just not a nice feeling watching a team of such potential and feel that they look as helpless as a lowly side for large stretches of time. We need cohesion via a stable team (a big factor in last year's success), and a spark via the Bloods spirit with some guys stepping up. It can't just be Hannebery all the time.
I agree that at some point soon we need to blood Mitchell as sub.
