With Christmas now upon us now, Wests Tigers Forum turns it's attention to what our Wests Tigers would love from the football Santa….if he does indeed exist??? These are the top 5.
1\. An injury free repellant seems a good place to start. A wretched run in recent seasons seems to have limited on field success to underwhelming levels. If football Santa does exist, this is surely top of the list.
2\. The football Gods have already shined on the Tigers for 2014\. Now football Santa just needs to deliver perfect whether for Leichhardt Oval home games. Weather in 2013 wasnt kind for either home ground but Leichhardt seemed to cop the brunt of it.
3\. Negative press repellant. So much negative press in 2013\. From Benji, Adam Blair and Mick Potter. They all got slated and in my books not all of it was justified. I get the feeling with the youthful presence at the club now, positivity may become the norm now.
4\. As mentioned above, Mick Potter was slated in 2013\. Not a lot of criticism was fair in my opinion, but as head coach, he has to wear it all. 12 months down the track I think Potter will do better. He's changed plenty in the coaching structure and I think we'll see him move forward.
5\. Last but not least, I think the boardroom will get its act together. They've shown a willingness to work with the NRL and correct the flaws that plague the club. I know a lot of fans will hope the football Santas deliver some goodies on this matter.
