Wooden Spoons

[TIGERS]

If we go well this season it will make all those dumb wooden spoons we won totally worth it. Its a joy to listen to podcasts at the minute. We are earning back love and respect week by week.

Look at the Dragons and Manly right now. They have both been putting veteran bandaids on their rosters to finish around 9th for a few seasons and having tried that they're even more than before. Sound familiar? Everyone is giving Benji and the club flowers atm but its really the result of a lot of focused and consistent work that more or less began in 2022. I've always said I'd rather finish last for good reasons than finish 9th for the wrong reasons.

Anyway's there is a massive way to go but the signs are really good. Again, we play finals footy and break the curse it won't only be a good 2026 but it adds a bit of meaning and purpose to all those miserable seasons since madge was sacked.

Gotta start from the bottom to get to the top no matter who ya are.

No losses, just lessons. Hey?

1 season of promise doesn’t make it worth it.

We have a looooonnnnggg way to go.

The only value 3 wooden spoons provides is if there is a legitimate wake up call that delivers a dynasty of finals & grandfinals appearances.

Winnng three spoons in a row is never “worth it”
It was a shameful time in this club’s history.
We seem to be on the improve now and that’s great but it’s well and truly over due. We should never forget the past 14 years of ineptitude and incompetence.
Failure to play finals this year will be upsetting.

Well said , if your poor at most things in a company or sport you will be last or broke , we were pretty much both , times are changing but as you say lesson , we will get stronger as we go as long as the whole place works on the same page ,

We were a poorly led club for over a decade.

Coaching

We are finally different now.

It’s 2 games out of 3

Promising signs … but still a long way to go

And for those wanting to sell the joint to private owership have a look over the fence at Manly at the moment. HBG and infighting have definitely been a big part of our problem but if we continue to take steps to fix our governance we may be able to put that behind us as well. The turmoil off the field created by us fans is akin to the lows we had on it; so I trust that HBG have also learnt a lesson or two and finally turn the governance corner as well.
