00:00Taylor, what will be Azzurri's strength this year?

00:04Probably the same as what it's been for a few years now, the camaraderie.

00:09We really have a tight group, the mentality of the players and the friendship is probably

00:14what gets us towards the top end of the table the last few years.

00:17I don't think we spend the money that a few others do, but the tightness of our group

00:22is our strength.

00:23Who's going to be a player to watch in your squad?

00:25We've got a young boy, Rhys McManus, who came through the Jets, went to the Mariners,

00:30he's only 18 now.

00:32His father was a former professional player here in Newcastle and he's exciting, he's

00:36dynamic, he's everything I'm not, he's young.

00:40Who's the team to beat?

00:42Very difficult.

00:43Olympia has spent big, a few big inclusions, Maitland Western, they're training three

00:49or four times a week.

00:50But I still think Broadmeadow Magic, youth, exuberance and a little bit of experience

00:55now for those kids, I think they'll be hard to beat.
