What will be our strengths and weaknesses for 2014

[tigersrule4life]

We will improve heaps next year we have gun young halfs in Luke Brooks and Blake Austin with Mitch Moses to play sometime next year as well. Our backline will be a gun one next year with fast wingers and centres. We have a bigger foward pack next year and with big name signings to happen next year. We just have to sign good assistant coaches and a defence coach.

Kicking should improve, Brooks, Austin , Richards g/k

Defense and fitness is the concern

Haven't seen a great deal of Austin what's his kicking game like in general play?

Not too sure i havent seen a lot of hime either, but the little I have he stood out, someone here mentioned he kicks goals, I assume playing in the halves he does GP kicking too.

Someone mentioned consistency as a strenght….I cant see that with the youth in the team....thatll take an extra year or tewo I think

Its a long long road back...several seasons imo

Strengths:
- Farah and Woods
- Great wingers
- The young guys coming through are showing great enthusiasm and are not overawed
- Players who have been going through the motions are being moved on to allow hungry juniors the chance
- Possible invigoration of new coaching staff
- Possible improved kicking games in general play

Weaknesses:
- Defence is still shocking
- Attack is still shocking
- Potter at this stage looks like an average coach
- Board room dramas to continue
- Possible player revolts (happens every year)
- Lack of a big bopper angry prop and backrower
- No settled halfback
- No settled 5/8
- Very green fullback still
- Centers that need a lot of work
- Lack of consistency
- Sheens and his law suit….

There is probably more but in my mind this all adds up to a 10th placed finish at best

Strengths:

Wingers;
Starting front row
Backline speed;
Young, dynamic talent coming through the grades;
Goalkicking, field goal kicking;
A bigger forward pack than 2013;
New coaching structure;
CEO who appears to be very switched on and is implementing some much needed changes at the club.

Weaknesses:

Defence (until proven otherwise);
Uncertainty over starting halves;
Experience in the halves;
Backrow options need to be considered carefully, we have more size but Potter needs to sort out the bludgers, the impact players and the workers;
Attacking structure and execution need to improve noticeably;
Board room issues…
And I'm sure there's others that escape me right now.

Thinking positive…

Fresh start / Dead wood (BM) gone
New clean design strips
Fresh start at ANZ (perhaps)
Exciting youth coming through ranks
Benji, Aysford and possibly Moltzen gone
Richards back (2005 memories re-kindled)
Potter able to prepare for the 2014 season
