Always take the hard/easy draw with a pinch of salt .. Usually don’t know the strength of the sides (and thus draw) til seasons end

Should easily make the finals. Anything less will be a massive failure.


Polec’s not a big fish. Hopefully he’s a good pick up but he’s not a big fish.
Third hardest draw according to Champion Data - I expect to make finals, if not I’m not sure it’s a “massive failure”.


So he's more like crayfish then, it's ok but you pay too much for it?

We won’t know if we paid too much for a few years.

I think it's over rated and at $90/kg it's way over priced.

I'd take bugs, blue swimmers, good prawns, whiting and even tommies ahead of cray if there was a platter with all of them on it in front of me.
