It is interesting to note the different terminology being used by people within the game.
For our international players, still bruised from autumn campaigns this is post season while for lots of other players pre-season training is back on the agenda with obligatory hill runs, weights sessions, rowing machines and sick stomachs.
Super League fixtures are out this coming Monday with Championship fixtures also to be worked out and published.
It is the time of year when fans find out what shirts they will be spending their hard earned cash on and also the point where season ticket deals run to and then get extended beyond.
It also seems to be the time of year where the likes of Hull, Hull Kingston Rovers and London Broncos realise there are no more antipodean players they can sign and they turn to signing British based players (on that note best of luck to Adam Walker and Greg Eden).
The 2013 season in my opinion is a watershed season for the sport with the changes to academy level seeing a wealth of British talent head down under to try their luck. Will these bring about the desired results? Will we see better young players coming through?
I'm sure we will find out!
