2022 Season, Where will WestS Tigers finish?

[stevo133]

I have so many questions like who do you pick for round one? And do you think west tigers are a chance of making the finals? I think tigers are but I say that every year wishful thinking an all, I think teams are going to underestimate the tigers and not fully respect them but again that’s wishful thinking.

I honestly see us finishing 7 we are due
Hastings great help to Brooks Laurie will improve and two hooker's in the 17 each week

Especially when Madge was almost sacked I don’t think he is going to be as nice as last year. He knows his job is on the line now.

I hope Nathan Caylesscan help our defence.

2023 top 8 🔥🔥

Struggling with the title of this thread.

Bottom 4

Even if we show a big improvement on last year i can't see us finishing any higher than 10th. The interesting thing is very few sides will be starting the season with the same spine as last season and quite a few sides will have new halves which could mean those sides take longer to get in to their rhythm.

We'll probably win the comp. We'll either win in 22 or in 23. I'm more concerned about winning in style though.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Our draw looks good based off last year and expected results. I’m not confident we will make the 8 but a couple of the rumour signings will help. I think we’ll be in a around the bottom of the eight all year with the last few rounds deciding our fate .

 

[SeanT]

12-13th. Not much change again this year. 2023 8-9th

 

[marzie]

More of the same next year - 10th-12th I reckon. 2023 will be a better year

Need to blood as many of the next generation as possible. Get their game time up. Be ready to have a real crack in 23.
Can't see us making the 8 this year unless we have a few surprises in the squad.
I was against giving madge more time as the coach but now Sheens is back, it looks like he has more support and can just concentrate on coaching.
Provided we don't get lapped too many times, I think this year is a safe one for Madge.
Definately a make or break year for brooks

Interest thing id cracks are starting to appear in some of the clubs that were untouchable in recent times. Storm in particular but also Panthers and Eels. Raiders have lost something as well. I think the gap between the top 5 and the next 6 or 7 will be less.
Movers will be the Sharks and Dogs.
All we need to do is play with effort and heart each week and I’ll be happy. That might even be enough to get us competitive around the middle of the pack.

6th ......

 

[jrtiger]

bottom 4 I'd say. AD out for half the season and how our backline performs is a complete mystery. in the game against Penrith it was clear that our forwards get dominated by teams with decent linespeed. we are going to need another front rower or two that bends the line if we're ever going to play on the front foot. hopefully with Hastings there our fifth tackle options improve as well, but I wouldn't expect us to be any higher than 11th.

Great point there. Ur bang on! The top teams are definitely a bit lighter this year, one or two key injuries and they are right back with the field....maybe this year isn't as dire as predicted for us folk down below!!!

He could be a huge difference to our season. Amazing what a repeat set or two can do for the momentum of a game.

a great kick can change a bad set to a good set depending on where you put the ball. our fifth tackle options have been diabolical these past two years. Madgeball at Souths was built off the back of Reynolds finding the turf and putting the ball deep inside the opposition's half and then bashing them into a corner. you'll see us become a much improved side if Brooks and Hastings can do something similar.
