Out of the Headlines

Hopefully next year will be the year we have all been hoping for. Personally, my goal will be just to say "We had a decent year" :smiley:

I've got high expectations for next year. Top 8 or we need to make some big changes.

Pressures on Brooks, Lolohea, Liddle, Nofoaluma and our forward pack. Our forward pack is what I have the most confidence in. We'll just have to wait and see but, I'm not going to be happy if we miss the 8.

Tacky - change and instability has been our problem mate. Would be great if we could all just take a chill pill for one season at least and let the team develop. It's pretty much a brand new 17 players and I think pascoe/Cleary will be saving cap for next year.

Improvement, consistency and competitiveness should be our benchmark this year. Not where we finish.

For a club that hasnt seen finals footy for god knows how long now…I dont think the fans would cop something like "Improvement, consistency and competitiveness " unless it included finals footy finish

I don't really care what people will cop. Some people need to manage their emotions better and know what it takes to get to the top otherwise they hurt us all. In the last few years, we've lost 2 captains, a coach, had a management restructure, dealt with backloaded contracts and lost the majority of our spine.

You can't immediately turn that around and people setting targets based on their emotions and the past is just so short sighted.

Maybe fans just want to keep us in a downward spiral?

The rational side of me knows this. The passionate side of me doesn't want to hear it.

Unfortunately the passionate side of me is stronger than the rational side.

I watch the Freddy fox interview . He was talking about Tedesco now being at a more successful club ect. He didn’t say thing incorrect but it still got under my skin when he said he wants all NSW clubs to lift. Yet he’s happy for the rich clubs to poach the bottoms half’s talent

Let's face it - the media love reporting on us. Good, bad or ugly they know people will listen as soon as they say "Wests Tigers…"
