\u201cFor sure. I\u2019ve always thought that we can do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere hasn\u2019t really been a thought of me thinking that we can\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always want to win, and I think that\u2019s what everyone\u2019s goal is at the club. I think this year the club has recruited really well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve retained a lot of players as well that have been here for a long time.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo yeah, I think it\u2019s an awesome opportunity to get out there and get some wins on the board and make it to finals and hopefully win the title.\u201d<\/p>\n
One huge aspect playing in the Force\u2019s favour is a much better travel schedule.<\/p>\n
Last year, they were effectively made to criss-cross for the entire season – with the pattern of playing one game at home followed by one game away taking its toll.<\/p>\n
White went as far as saying the Force had been \u201cstitched up\u201d by the unfair travel schedule.<\/p>\n
This season, the Force have been fixtured for home and away blocks, meaning far less travel and more time to physically prepare for games.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt takes a toll throughout the year,\u201d Williams said of the travel factor.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd because we were doing it so much last year, it minimises the amount you can actually train on field because of all the travel.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo our fixture this year will be really good. We\u2019ll be able to get a lot of good, hard sessions in during the week and prep ourselves for the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Molina, scrumhalf Nathan Hastie, Bridge and prop Harry Johnson-Holmes will all make their Force debuts against the Brumbies, but backline stars Dylan Pietsch (foot) and Lancaster (thigh) have been ruled out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cFor sure.
