No I think your club had to ‘do something’ just to give the fans some hope. I’ll just be surprised if there’s any improvement in the medium/long term. And if there’s short term improvement it’ll more likely be reversion to mean. Just like how we’re likely to improve this year despite making no significant changes.
And if we don't you'll be ready with the turd polishing kit.
If that happens, BA will get a 2 year extension.
For some reason, I git a very good feeling for this year....
Ah ok....that now makes sense....
They’ll be fine, Flanno knows a guy who’ll make those injuries disappear
They might, they should, I expect them to.....but they might not but to take it back to the point of rebutting Pou's denigration of the changes at the Tigers, when I watch my team play, as a first point and as a minimum I want and expect them to have a crack. I hope for the same from the owners/management of the club. Sacking the entire board, replacing Pascoe with Richardson, replacing Brooks/Wakeham/Will Smith with Sezer/Fainu/Sullivan is pretty clearly having a crack and at this stage, I'm very happy with what is going on with the club for a change.
At 17/18yo without playing in the NRL its pretty impressive (played against England).
Probably right and therefore what matters is that every step they take is forward and for the last 6 months they have been. Even little things like stopping the leaks in the media.
It's no different to how nothing changed when you brought in Maguire, Cleary or all these expensive players. As for sacking the board, it'll only lead to improvement if they're replaced with better people. You might say "BuT tHeY'rE tHe WoRsT aNd AnYoNe Is An ImPrOvEmEnT!!!!" but I'm telling you it's not true. There's potentially 8 billion humans out there who would be worse performers than the former Tigers board. Of the relatively small pool of humans who are both willing and able to operate as NRL board members, most of them would still be worse than the old Tigers board. There just aren't that many good ones out there.
Because we had a greater than usual share of bad luck last year. If we have an average amount of luck (reversion to mean) we should finish somewhere around the bottom of the eight. If we have very good luck we could make the grand final or even win it. Like when the top teams shat themselves and the Tigers faced the fifth placed Cowboys in the grand final back in the day. Luck is always a factor.
Of course when you distort my argument and present a strawman you can win any argument you like.
No you just farted thats all
I thought you weren’t wearing pants ffs!!

Would you care to explain the optimism?
Until I see a huge improvement in defense, quick ptb's and improved attack I highly doubt minor premiership.
Sadly I agree but I'll be there cheering them on. After 10 years Im not counting on much tactical change offensively or defensively.
