Glenn Catto’s gaze into club fortunes
this season
BRIDGEWATER: Will no doubt be big improvers. Recruited well but must not rely on Leigh Sharpe to give all the lift. Lee Coghlan will be the silent achiever - keep an eye on him.
BEARS LAGOON SERPENTINE: Ruckman Nathan Twigg will be a barometer for improvement. Former coach Justin Laird will have more freedom. Top three in 2023, definitely better this year.
CALIVIL: Still a young side and probably lacking a key forward. Will be even more competitive, early wins could set up season.
INGLEWOOD: Last season’s big improvers, have kept most of the team together. Fringe players have had a year to develop. Again, early wins will be important.
MARONG: After an unblemished and dominant season, the Panthers will fall back a little, but not that much.
MAIDEN GULLY: Picked up some older experienced players. Will they be good enough to get the Eagles over the line in a tight match?
MITIAMO: Recruited well over the summer but still a long way off the top teams and facing stronger middle tier sides in 2024.
NEWBRIDGE: Coming from a very long way back. Recruits will help but depth remains a real challenge.
PYRAMID HILL: Have the depth and the coaching nous of Nathan Fitzpatrick. Top three for 15 years and will be again.
