The toughest team to assess – what will be the effect of the disgrace that 2013 was. On the field the immediate issue will be the effect of not having Tom Bellchambers for the start of the season. Crameri going will affect the dynamics of the forward line and Big Joe will have to grow into his name quickly. Even under the cloud last year they continued to win big games and were top four material till round 18. Underestimate the Bombers at your peril – Bomber fans may think 7th underestimates them but given the ongoing turmoil it’s as high as they could be rated.
