They'll be thereabouts again, but they're a lot like North of a few years ago. I admire the way they are going to go balls out while we all talk of them going over that cliff.
The champs will play on while some of the better kids will move to somewhere they can get a game. Worse still is not giving the kids games and finding out too late they don't have what it takes.
Cameron will give their forward line another prong but Hawkins only has one or two more seasons, and they're back to needing to recruit another key forward.
I like Esava but he doesn't quite seem the type to build a forward line around. I'm not familiar enough with their list to know if they have any other tall forwards in waiting. But if they do, they're about to go further back in the pecking order.
Scott will try some more re-invention of players, like he did with Tuohy (perhaps Rohan this time around). But we haven't seen the last of them just yet unfortunately.
