As bad as things have gotten, I can still find the positives.
I think I have been blinded by how bad we really are on and off the field for some time, but spending time on this forum the last few years has opened my eyes to the true reality of our team’s predicament.
I’m hurting the same as most on here. To have a season start with so much potential and then go down the drain so quickly, and the way it has occurred, is a real kick in the balls.
I have seen glimpses of what we can be, throughout this season. We stuck it to the two power houses in the comp this year and it wasn’t because the other team didn’t turn up, we won those fair and square. The key to both wins were the changes that have occurred in the forwards, our weakness for so long. We now have the grunt up the middle to match it with the best. We’re not seeing it now, but its there. If it can be harnessed and delivered consistently, the forwards are a done deal.
The start of this year, we had run on players still on the sideline through injury for round one. I’m pretty sure we will go into round one 2015 with our full squad to choose from, as we don’t have any injuries that will limit us to kick off 2015.
We now have a full off season to get our backline defence in order. Certainly one of our major issues. Slight positive, I guess.
Austin – This kid has really brought a spark to the team, there have been some on here saying his a fringe first grader; really? The kid is killing it, and one of our best week in, week out. A real positive in my eyes and a beacon of positive change at the Tigers.
Brooks – He has it and is only going to get better.
Moses – I hadn’t seen him play, only read on here about his potential. I have seen enough already to say he has me wanting to see him more than any of the other kids. And he will gain some needed size in the off season. Look out 2015.
Coach – Hard one to find a positive on, but at least at the end of the year the team will know who will be taking them forward, and if it is Potter (and I hope it is) then he will be signed on for a period of time and if there is any players dirty on this guy, you would think they would pull their head in and accept the decision. If we end up with a new coach, at least the disgruntled players (if any) will start putting in and hopefully bring some cohesion to the team. Optimism can be a wonderful thing!
A new board, and its only agenda is to take us forward. I couldn’t give a stuff about Balmain or Wests. WESTS TIGERS is where it’s at, and we might finally have people in power that feel and act the same.
I’m sure there are plenty that can find a whole lot more negatives than positives with our team, but I see the future and I think we will be flying high next year, so hang in there Tiger fans!
I'm a Tiger for life and will be around for the good and the bad, but enough of the farrrkin bad already!! 😛ray:
