COACHES CORNER / CAM CARTER
What’s the biggest focus for your group in 2026?
Just consistency. We've had a little bit of a turnover in players, we've lost a few who played in the grand final last year, a little bit of depth, but we think we’ve brought some good ones in.
What will supporters notice about this team?
I think personal wise, we're a little bit taller, and probably a little bit quicker maybe across the board. I think our fitness is pretty good, we've brought some good runners in.
What’s your side’s greatest strength?
Hopefully resilience. We're going to get tested each and every week, it's a pretty good comp.
What still needs the most work?
That ability to come to play each and every week. Obviously we've become the hunted again, and with that, every week, it doesn't matter who you play, what position they are on the ladder, they all set themselves up to beat you.
What does success look like for this group in 2026?
They're hard to win, they're really, really hard to win premierships. It's even harder to win multiple premierships. We'd love to be top three.
