Liston said after a lean couple of seasons, the Rovers "expect to play finals".

"We are happy with the way things are going," he said.

"We always expect to play finals," if you don't there is no point in playing.

"We have retained our players from this year and we thought we were starting to show signs of where we would like to be.

"Hopefully we will top up and recruit a couple more to strengthen what we already have.
