Despite heading into the 2017 season with plenty of momentum on and off the field, Parramatta were unable to find their best last year and finished the season with just three wins. But Paul Hardwick's side have regrouped over summer, added some new and old faces to their squad and altered their playing style to suit a young group who are hungry for more success. Overview with Paul Hardwick: “Preseason has been fantastic, we’ve had heaps of numbers and seen a few new faces who have brought some new enthusiasm to the place and a bit of spark. We’ve also welcomed back a few old heads that have come back to the club and there is plenty of excitement around the place with the new facilities that are planned,” Paul Hardwick told Rugby News. “We were certainly disappointed with our performances last year, particularly early on in the season when teams just out enthused us in the back end of matches. We just leaked far too many points in the final 20 minutes of games.
