Welcome to 2024!
With the new year comes new opportunities. A chance to better oneself and aim for the stars.
By now we've all made our new year's resolutions. Whether it be the old chessnuts like losing weight, chasing that dream job, asking that pretty girl out, or shooting for immortality, we've all now set ours.
So too will each and every NRL club.
Not in any real capacity of course, but let's have some fun and look at what your NRL side's new year's resolution should be!
Please take these as the tongue in cheek comment that they are. I've tried to be serious, where possible, but there's still two months until the NRL season kicks off, so let's have a laugh together.
2. Penrith Panthers - Do it all again
It's tough to improve on back to back to back premiership seasons but Ivan Cleary will somehow convince his charges that it can, and should be done.
Again the Panthers have lost a superstar in Stephen Crichton. Again they'll probably replace him with someone just as good and on half the wage.
I tried to be serious here in naming these but what could the Panthers, or their fans, possibly want more than completing a historic four straight titles?
They'll want to do it all again. I'm not going to say it can't be done.
