I really like the look of the Oxford team. Got a good number one, then 4 third heat leaders / strong second strings.
Plus Lewis Kerr as a fabulous reserve. I think this is where Oxford biggest strength is, I'd rate Kerr above second strings such as Blodorn, Z.Cook, Rew, Palm-Toft & Howarth.
To me they are certainly play-off candidates, but so are the other 5 completed teams. Hopefully set for a very exciting season.
