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.
6. The Dolphins - A debut finals appearance
There can be no doubt in the world what the Dolphins goal in 2024 is, to play finals footy!
They've signed two of the Broncos best in Herbie Farnworth and Tom Flegler, and now have a roster with both the talent and depth to make their maiden fnals appearance.
Farnworth is right up there with Stephen Crichton in terms of expected impact at his new club. Right now I have Herbie as the best centre in the game.
Last year there was no expectation for the competition new boys. 2024 is very, very different. With big names comes big expectations and the Phins will be looking to match those and be there come the second week of September.
