Q and A with president Shane Hadley
NDL: As a team, what key areas do you want to improve upon from 2018?
SH: Win more games. Simple as that.
NDL: Who has been your most improved player over the pre-season?
SH: To be honest, it's a little bit difficult for me to say as I don't know the background of all of our players. I do think our whole team has really improved as a unit overall.
NDL: What will be your team's strengths this season?
SH: Since we have moved to a new ground (Moree Showgrounds) we have had to adapt to playing on possibly the biggest oval in the league. That's why I think our fitness will be our biggest strength this season.
NDL: Who is the team to beat in 2019 and why?
SH: I reckon the Tamworth Swans and Gunnedah will be the two teams to beat, based on what I saw at the Crossroads Cup.
