Did Sheens get as much pressure as Potter?

[AusTigers]

Looking back to 2003 we only won 7 games just like last year

but was sheens job ever on the line?

Also I see similarities with getting rid of deadwood like in 2003 and the huge abundance of junior talent that came in 2003/2004 ( Farah, benji, halatau, Fulton etc) which we have seen last year and this year (tedesco, simona , Brooks etc)

so lets judge Potter after this year. If we improve to be fringe 8 I say sign him for another 2 years.

Sheens won 7 in 2003 with duds, then 10 in 2004 and the comp in 2005\. Clear signs of improvement. Mid 2005, he was under big pressure and he responded with a marvellous run.

Potter won 7 last lyear with Sheens duds, this year i think he has to win 10 and next year he has to make the 8 if he is still here. I think that is pretty fair.

Have seen a lot of similarities between 03-05 and last year/this year. potter has until the end of this season. If we are top 10 or 11 he's done okay and keep him for another year unless there's a far better replacement. 2015 top 8 is basically a requirement though.

Agree with all that was said above.

I think we will be very pleasantly surprised during periods of this year which is a far cry from where we were last year.

But a top 10 or 11 finish would be a pretty good result.
