鈥淥bviously the centenary year is very significant, and we鈥檙e hoping that having a team that鈥檚 so successful and so exciting to watch will add to that significance,鈥� he said.
Mr Enfantie said the club hoped to continue its dominance of Queensland rugby throughout its centenary year.
鈥淲e鈥檙e looking to make it back to back wins for Premier Grade, and also to go back to back with the Doughty Shield,鈥� he said.
The Doughty Shield is awarded each season to the most successful club across all grades.
宅男导航 was the obvious choice for this award in 2010, with eight of its twelve teams making the finals.
Mr Enfantie said that despite the great season, there was room for improvement next year.
鈥淎fter getting so many teams through to the finals, only two walked away with premierships,鈥� he said.
