CESSNOCK PLAYER/COACH MAKES BOLD PREDICTION FOR 2018

Having signed a handful of new, high-profile players, including Paul Carter and Chanel Mata’utia, player/coach Al Lantry believes Cessnock’s long wait for a premiership is almost over.
“The people that we’ve signed and locked down is definitely the team to win the grand final so there’s a little bit of pressure there but I think we can handle it.”
The 29-year-old made the comment this afternoon at a special draw at Honeysuckle, where Newcastle Rugby League officials finalised the competition schedule for 2018.
