Bring on the 2011 Season
Barely a month after the St George-Illawarra Dragons were crowned 2010 NRL premiers, pre-season training has already started for a number of clubs.
Canterbury-Bankstown and Parramatta were back on the training paddock before Melbourne Cup day, and have since been joined by Brisbane. The remainder of the NRL will return for the gut-busting runs and punishing summer fitness sessions over the coming weeks. Sights have already turned to 2011. The slate is clean and dreams of premiership glory abound at all sixteen clubs.
There is certainly an expectation at both Canterbury and Parramatta that the disappointment of 2010 can quickly be forgotten as the preparations for the 2011 season commence.
