2023 Expectations

[SeanT]

I think the headlines might be;
Tigers turnaround with new coaching team
Playing an exciting brand of attacking football
Defence amazing
How long can they keep this up
CoE acclaimed for more professional attitude
Sheens saying that all we want to do is entertain and will let results take care of themselves
The revitalised WT the talk of the league
Lee states that this what we have been waiting for
Pascoe nominated for CEO of the year
Tiger crowds up with 18,000 at CS last Sunday
Now I’m going to take some more drugs.
Further updates to follow.
Go Tigers

You loss me at 'defence amazing'.... When in our history has it been amazing?🤔

 

[Demps]

We need a prop with impact and he does not have it

Klemmer 🤔

Poetic licence Sean. If Buzz, Kenty and co can be creative, then why can’t I.
Remember these are my predictions not a report card !!

Lol then you woke up?
Without a massive recruitment result, we will likely not achieve anything you posted other than you taking more drugs to cope.

You left out the most important part of McKivat’s CV ... he coached Wests in 1928 👍

His CV is a lengthy one and I didn't want to highjack the topic. Thanks for pointing it out the oversight.👍

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

The good thing about this season is that the players will have no doubts that they are a pack of losers. With that clarified, they can live in reality and stop delusions of playing finals footy. They can focus on their games objectively without having to worry about the pressure of winning games to save their coach.

Having Sheens as coach is a good thing. He likes to coach teams based on the strengths of his players, as opposed to the one-size-fits-all approach that Madge had.

My expectation for 2023 is that we will unearth at least one genuine star.

 

[Strider]

11th

 

[GarryOwen]

I'd be surprised if we even managed the dizzying heights of 15th.
Gonna be another very long season.

 

[getemonside]

This is our 2023 head coach who doesn't even know his own staff. He has NFI, we are absolutely no hope

 

[Merlot]

that 50% of people here will swear that the sky is falling

 

[WESTTIGERS1234]

not bottom four I guess but we need to wait to see what moves we make in the offseason cause where come depends on who we get and let go

Even de-fence at Leichhardt collapsed.😵

 

[TigerLouis]

We will have a decent squad even without any more signings even though some would definitely improve our chances. There are 12 players highlighted on this list that are not playing this week the depth on the reserves list is not too bad either we just need luck with injuries & refereeing decisions.

[Cultured_Bogan]

None. I've given up expecting anything from this shambles of a club.

They can focus on their games objectively without having to worry about the pressure of winning games to save their coach.

My expectation for 2023 is that we will unearth at least one genuine star.

Agree with the finals footy rubbish ,after the Canterbury win, Madge had us making the eight, that was after 2 x 1 point wins and a win over the side running last. He had been saying that for four seasons and there was absolutely nothing to base it on with the players available.
One genuine star, we’ve signed two, do you know something we don’t.

 

[1eyedmel]

Well with The Poms latest update I have no faith in any improvement for next year and I dare say we will be the favourites for a second wooden spoon. It will not matter that we have the great Tim Sheens as our coach with Benji in tow.

 

[twentyforty]

I think we need a 5yr and a 10yr plan in addition to the 3yr plan. This will save the need to produce a new 3yr plan after each season.

 

[earl]

we just need luck with injuries & refereeing decisions.

Our squad isn't good enough to win regularly without getting extremely lucky in relation to these two factors.

I still think the club has managed expectations poorly because they've blamed the previous 4 poor years as being Madge's fault with the inference that the new coaching team will turn things around.

It also doesn't sound like there are any good signings available.
