You cannot get it overnight....or even over a decade.

How can Wests Tigers use KPP better than the Knights did?

Has our recruitment over the past 2 years been well done? Apart from the May brothers, who has come into the club or is about to, that impresses you?

Latu won't be available early season. Madden 14, probably.
