BOYD AND CO HAVE PLENTY OF GOODWILL IN THE BANK
With the sheer brilliance and talent at their disposal, the already successful Hurricanes coaching panel will again be expected to hit appropriate heights.
Boyd and his secure coaching team have shown their proficiency in implementing a battle plan to suit their soldiers and not much will change this time around. As far as pressure on the coaches goes, not reaching the playoffs would kick off some questions but they have enough capital in the bank to survive one fruitless harvest.
Selection-wise, the panel have plugged gaps intelligently with only halfback and the second row looking slightly malnourished. Popular with their fans and boasting a team that is strongly led on the field away from instruction, Boyd and Co would have to commandeer a disaster to worry about 2019.
