After focussing on rebuilding in 2023, Garrick Morgan thinks his Magpies are ready to take the next step and match it with the competition's best this season.

Morgan has recruited well and is hopeful his new players will combine with the young talent at the club to turn Souths into a premiership threat.

Overview with Garrick Morgan: 

“We’ve had a really good preseason and followed that up with trials against Norths, Bond and Hunter Wildfires from the Shute Shield,” Morgan told Rugby News.

“We met Hunter halfway in Coffs Harbour, camped at the ground and enjoyed a great bonding experience.

“A lot of new players have joined the club. Some we recruited, others came out of the blue. In total we’ve probably got about 25 new guys at the club this year
