Holmes at fullback,and Capewell securing a regular gig,plus retention of young players.

fingers crossed we re sign capewell. he can have the 11 jersey once lewis leaves for a while imo, if he keeps improving. looked the goods in his few games for us last year (feels weird saying that)

Not sharks related... But one thing I do look forward to over summer is the media talking up Stosur Tomic and Nic the dero.. And how deep into the 2nd week of the oz open they may well progress... I'd be surprised if a Aussie makes it to round 3....

I like Stosur, at least she's won something and is a decent human being. The other two.............................

Agree, she just looks so stressed on the court when she lands in Australia.. Think her best days are past her though.

I'm looking forward to watching Jayden Brailey develop with Michael Ennius as his mentor. I'm looking forward to Val getting his hands on the ball more often and I'm looking forward to Kurt Caldwell getting some serious minutes. Andrew Fifita played the best game of his life in the GF and if he keeps that attitude and the youngsters above achieve what I'm hoping they can we are a chance to back to back.

If kyrious had the work ethic and down to earthness of Hewitt he might actually convert his talent into success.

He was interesting for a while but now it's just painful. He might grow older but he will probs always be a tosser and along with tomic the chip on the shoulder will have them shirk responsiblity

Looking forward to the cheer when the team runs on to Shark Park for the first time ever as defending premiers.

Kryrios looks like Scud II unfortunately. All talent no heart.

Every sportsman needs a bit of Lleyton in him. One of the greatest sporting fighters I've ever seen.

I was never a Hewitt fan early, but he won me over with how hard he tried (especially in the green n gold) went on a season or 2 too long I though.

Like most I wasn't too keen on him in his early years but he won me over in a big way. Regarding going on too long, I think that was part and parcel of him never psychologically being able to give in, ie. He didn't know how to quit on the court and kind of carried over to not knowing when to hang up the racket.

He is an awesome commentator too.

True, was never really injury free that last 24 months to give it a real red hot finish..
