What is a successful 2026 for the Tiger's

Injuries have exposed our threadbare depth in critical position, especially fullback and hooker.

Attard and Brookes are too green for firsts. Herbert is the safest choice in Bula's absence, which isn't saying much.

Hope is a solid NSW Cup player, nothing more. He shouldn't be anywhere near first grade selection. Lanyon and Haywood are both more talented but neither could play more than 40 mins. Latu Fainu, with Lanyon or Haywood on the bench, is our best option, as dire as that is.

Even us dopes here saw all off-season that the depth at hooker was an issue … what’s the plan ? Just hope your 33 yr old hooker is doing the job all year ?

There is an old saying … Hope isn’t a plan …. Works on two levels for the Tigers this year … if they have any money left they have to find someone around the league or England and bring them in
 
In mid June they have a run of Titans, Dolphins , Knights and Dragons …

That will decide whether they are a Top 8 chance …gotta win three of those four … which is a possibility with their players hopefully back … if they are still out the season is over anyway then …

You go on a run of three out of four and you can move up from 12th to 4th in this comp
 
Top four is a pipe dream. Top eight is a chance but we have to jag two wins out of our next four games and with most of our spine out for a few weeks it’s going to be a really tough ask. I think Benji has to make some smart calls when the team is selected, but my gut feeling he will stick with the same team as much as possible

I’ll be happy if they go 1-3 , because the 4 after that they should go 3-1 with Bula and Api back,,, they only need to win half their games to make the 8 from here… they can’t lose the next 4 though , because 5 game losing streaks are season killers …

If he picks the same right-side backs as last game, there's only one prediction ahead for us poor supporters, pain.

What makes a successful 2026 season? A top 8 finish. Anything less is failure in my eyes

Fair enough call mate,however after all the spoons we have earned to me a top 10 finish would be sensational ...
You have to remember that injuries,club dramas and depth we have all come into calculation...
Let's just hope we stay in the fight and finish the season off strongly...
 
I would accept a top 8 finish with a positive for and against that has defence improvements as that is what builds a team culture. We have always had the flair to throw the ball around, just need the side to show we are a solid defensive unit and apart from our last game we have shown it this year.

This week is extremely important to show what we are made of in my opinion
