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.
5. Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs - A recruitment win
The Bulldogs have undertaken massive recruitment drives for a few seasons now. They're yet to really nail that future changing name though.
Matt Burton has been good, the jury is still out on Kikau, while Addo-Carr has done his job, there have been a long list of big names arrive only to underperform.
I won't go into names as this is about looking forward rather than backward, but in Stephen Crichton they have a player who could be the player who changes everything.
I'm willing to commit now and say Crichton will be the Dogs best pick up in many years. He will help unlock Burton and make a huge difference moving forward.
