Just commenting that I'm amazed at the amount of sheep picking Tigers for the spoon.

Tigers have played as poorly as possible, especially in defence, for 3 years straight. They were also injury riddled, far more than most.

Yet, they almost made the 8 each time.

Logic alone dictates they are likely to rise, rather than fall, on the ladder.

A change in luck injury-wise and only a moderate defensive improvement (believe me easy compared to what they have been dishing up) and the top 8 is a certainty for this team.

A frontrow with Laurie, Farah and Galloway coupled with a backrow of Ellis, Heighington and Hallatau is in no way spoon worthy.

Time will tell I guess.

I'm a little confused as to how the Titans could win the premiership next year and still not be considered to be the most improved team... :crazy:

the tits were an excellent team this year, if they could have kept their stars on the paddock. i could easily see the cowboys "out-improving" the tits and the tits coming up with the trophy.

tits.

Cheers for that, spot on.

The Titans would've been a top 6 team this year minus the injuries.
