The difficulty in this thread is recency bias. 4 weeks ago the tigers were playing as well as I can even remember. I would have given them an A+.
But unfortunately the season isn't 6 weeks long!
Tigers have always in the last however many years been rocks and diamonds, but this year... 😳
The players unavailable right now softens the blow a little, but they're still playing terribly - no two ways about it...
Bigger picture, there is a lot to be optimistic about. Thankfully all the HBG crap hasn't carried over. That we know of, anyway.
Benji has actually surprised me. I think he is doing as well as you could expect, and credit to him having them playing how they were.
Recruitment/retention imo has been excellent. Jarome hasn't been what we'd hoped and I think it's great roster management he's off after '27. The extensions are awesome; add the Fainus and that's an A too.
Onfield/ladder position: balancing the good and bad - slightly below expectation
Everywhere else: exceeding expectations.
