Joel Tomkins has mapped out his targets, with short and long-term goals to hit both domestically and internationally.
Challenge
Asked if they can sustain a challenge on multiple fronts, he added: "Definitely. I think we showed that last year, we got to the semi-finals. Although we came up short in both semi-finals I think that, especially in the Heineken Cup, it could have gone either way. This year, we're all looking to go one step further and make the final of both competitions and we want to win both competitions.
"Sometimes when you lose big games like that it does stay in the back of your mind and you bring it out to bind you all together again. Losing that semi-final will make us even more determined to make the final."
It is shaping up to be an exciting time for the Tomkins clan, with younger brother Sam about to embark on a new challenge in the NRL with the New Zealand Warriors.
Joel says his sibling is settling well down under but is reluctant to get caught up in a debate regarding his own future and a possible return to league competition further down the line.
The former Wigan Warriors man said: "I don't know, to be honest. It's a long way down the line. Ever since I have come to rugby union that's a question that I get asked and it's always the same answer - at the moment I'm a Saracens player and I'm enjoying playing rugby union.
"I have got ambitions to play international rugby in rugby union and goals that I want to achieve. In the future you never know what is going to happen, but at the moment I am definitely happy where I am."
Among the 'goals' Tomkins hopes to achieve before further radical career changes are considered are landing major honours with Saracens and earning a place in the England squad for a home World Cup in 2015.
He said: "Domestic trophies and things like that are always the goal, but I think there is a massive goal for any English rugby player with that World Cup around the corner.
"I think that is probably in the back of everybody's mind that what an occasion that will be, a massive sporting occasion, probably one of the biggest the country has seen. To be a part of that would be amazing, so that's probably a goal for every young English lad who is aiming to get into that squad."
