Jets out to prove doubters wrong

Transcript

00:00Worried about that. I think you can look at it from a subjective point of view but I think in

00:05the end you've really got to be objective and come and see what teams are doing and what they've been

00:10working on and it's very early now to actually make predictions. It's just a guess from people

00:17on their opinions and everyone's got a different opinion but at the end of the day I'm

00:21really not concerned by it. We can use it as a motivational tool if the players

00:26want to. At the end of the day we have to prove them wrong. That's the bottom line. So that's

00:31the objective anyway. So our objective is to get to the top and wherever we fall after that is

00:37where we deserve to be. So at the moment we're the 10th best team at the start from last year.

00:42I think they said we're going to come last last year but we were able to progress and improve I

00:46felt and the objective is to keep improving but to get to the top eventually. We've still got a

00:51lot of work to get there obviously but yeah people are going to say we're not good enough.

00:56That's fine but it's our job to prove them wrong and I look forward to doing that.
