David King has predicted that the "best management team" will win this season's premiership.
With the competition currently shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, a variety of factors will contribute to how the season plays out upon restarting, and which side ultimately lifts the trophy.
Speaking on SENโs Whateley,ย the dual premiership Kangaroo believes how clubs are managed off-field will be a driving factor like never before.
โThe best management team will win the competition this year,โ King said.
โThereโs no doubt about it โ whoever sets up their off-season, whoever sets up the way they come back, the risk mitigation with injuries, their handlings of their players to ensure itโs still fun and an enjoyable pathway and a not just a chore.
โThe handling of families as well โ the best management team will win it, thereโs no doubt about that.โ
He was intrigued by the how the hubs could affect the season.
โI donโt necessarily agree that your season will be over on the back of whatever the hub delivers," King said.
โI donโt believe you wonโt necessary stamped qualification for the finals post the hub period.
โThis just adds another level of intrigue and opens up the season.โ
