What makes 2026 a successful year for the Tiger's

For me 12 Wins is a successful year and would be very happy with that

Grabbing a spot in the 8 is achievable this year but we would need some luck with the injury God's and most importantly Gus not tearing the place down again

What is a successful year in your opinion

Top 8 and HBG not blowing the joint up again. Pretty low bar.

Whats this gauged on...ladder positions?

Points this season minus points last season. Biggest difference wins. Titans may be the danger, Bunnies perhaps but it's paying $11.

Gotta make finals. Almost half the competition makes it, no reason we shouldn't be there.

Multiple answers question...
1. We make the 8
2. We don't make the news (except for the right reason)
3. West and Tigers finally in wedded bliss.. ;-)

You forgot Makisini riding a flying Unicorn 🦄🦄🦄 to announce a contract extension

2026 = Semi finals

Keeping Makasini 😂

1. I can live with missing the top 8, but it would be nice to still be in contention in the last round.
2. No contract dramas or internal business leaking.
3. Keeping a team to 0. Think I saw a stat somewhere we've only done this a handful of times in our history.

If we can achieve these three things then I'll be happy.

HBG not doing HBG things 🙏

Top 8, don’t care after that but we have to be top 8. If we can do that a lot of the noise just goes away.

Top 8
3 wins in a row during the season
Win 75% of Campbo games
Win 75% of Leichhardt games
Home ground needs to be an advantage

Happy with that!

Top 10 is a minimum .....anything less is a failure

Top 8

Top 8. This is fully Benji's team now and it's also our best team on paper in 15 years.

Does Marshall future hang on reaching the top 8's, then?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

After 15 years, nothing short of finals should be the answer. I don’t think we’re quite there though. I see us finishing between 9th-12th.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Does Marshall future hang on reaching the top 8's, then?

Only if Jareth and his crew want to pay out the remaining 4 years of his contract. He shouldn’t be, but he’s safe as a house this year. What a dumb contract.

 

[weststigers]

Does Marshall future hang on reaching the top 8's, then?

He just signed up for a fresh 5 year extension. The ink has barely dried.

Although we have a habit of having to pay out coaches that don't finish their tenure.

Top 8 is the pass mark.
2026 is shaping up as season where no team is unbeatable.
If we turn up with the right attitude, don’t beat ourselves with mistakes or by giving away too many penalties or set restarts, we have the ability given any game.
Providing we get a pass mark each game from our right edge, providing Bula plays with committment and gets himself well involved on our attack and providing Benji uses our bench with a bit of common sense, I think we definitely make the top 8 if all those dominoes fall into place.
