Race to escape the Bottom 4

[BAGNF05]

Not quite, 2005 featured a three game winning streak and a maximum of 4 loses in a row. We also started our winning streak from round 16 so two rounds earlier; we lost both those rounds this time round.

That’s why I used the world almost, 😅

 

[Odessa]

Going from 4 to 6 to 9 wins has always been my expectation for this year. It represents steady improvement in stark contrast to the direction we were headed from about 2016. It won’t be enough for many and that’s fine, but it should keep some stability around the club.

That's what I think plus 9 wins is more attractive then 4 wins for a potential new player coming here

 

[Sully]

Agree it would show improvement against previous years, however it would also be a year of missed opportunities with the close losses to Newcastle, Souths, NZ, Penrith and the Raiders. What could have been if we had a bit of luck or a decent call in some of those games. Something to build on.

I would sum up a good year with 9 or 10 wins and beating the Dogs with Latu and Luai toweling up Lloyd Christmas in Round 22.

 

[Flippedy]

A win next weekend would also see us with the most wins in a season since 2022 with 7 wins.

We won 8 games in 2021 and 7 games in 2020.

3 more wins and you can start calling Benji the most successful Wests Tigers coach in the last 5 years mate.

Whoo hoo 9th here we come 😂

 

[watersider]

St George should really be in this too. Same amount of wins as us and Souths only already had their byes.

 

[yeti]

Jeez the Knights have got a shocking run home. I can see them losing the lot. 4 points from the byes my get them 'home' and avoid the wooden spoon.
You wouldn't say that any of the 'contenders' have an easy run, that's for sure.

 

[Sco77y]

Nope, he still has those 2 pesky spoons.

Just the one I thought. Sheens owns the 2023 campaign.

Totally agree with your last paragraph there Sully and the cherry on top would be for the Dogs to go out of the finals series in straight sets 😁

Sheens owns the 2022 campaign as well when he sacked Madge despite us not being in the bottom 3 and then throwing Kimmorley into the coaching job then he cut players from our roster to make the situation worse.Sheens was a disaster and fully earned getting booted from the club for the 2nd time in 2023.

 

[Tucker]

Benji owns it just as much

 

[Roar_Power]

Not sure we make the 8 But we should get a few more wins
Warriors - Win
Titans x 2 - Wn - Win
Bye - Win
Manly and Cows , should be good games , maybe we win over Manly
So 10 more point

Warriors in NZ? Will need to play well.

They are without their 7, that makes it a lot closer contest

Should not forget the loss of Mitch Barnett for them either.

 

[Tucker]

Should not forget the loss of Mitch Barnett for them either.

Their crowd help them heaps though and we’ll be without Bula, maybe Toa and Luai as well (depending on Origin)

 

[BalmainBoy67]

Everyone who is a Tiger's supporter must enjoy abuse at some subconscious level it's the only way it works no one else would keep turning up when they are not forced to

 

[The Chad]

Cowboys & Dragons have a rough ride home & shouldn't be discounted....but the Eels get it worst I think.

Plus they’ve used up all their byes, we haven’t.

 

[weststigers]

Speaking of byes. Why can't we just make them worth zero?
