Target
Wanderers aim to return to the Grand Final and despite being short on numbers in defence they have the overall quality in the squad to be at least considered serious contenders. Top 4 finish should be easily achieved, with Babbel’s progressive tactics making Red and Blacks one of the team’s to watch in the title race as if his players respond well Wanderers would be very hard to beat.
