Personally think 11 wins should be the aim, if we aim up like we did against Canterbury and dont have significant injuries theres no reason we cant win 3 of the last 4 remaining games
If only we could play with that intensity every week. If only..........
I hope you're right but I reckon the reverse will happen. They'll be so chuffed with that win last weekend, they'll put the cue in the rack for the rest of the year. I can see us winning 1 more game. We've lost something like 10 straight coming off the bye now, going back to covid times. I can't see us beating Manly because of this. We won't beat Canberra who will be looking for that win to lock up the minor premiership. I reckon the Cowgirls are most likely for us.
At the start of the year I thought 8 wins would be a pass mark, based on being a 25% improvement from the previous year. I then got excited after the fast start to the year and predicted more, but forgot I was a Tigers supporter.
Then the whole Gutless saga erupted and basically derailed our season.
The number of wins and points on the table is the only stat that matters, and while there has been another improvement this year, watching us play it seems like we've gone backwards sometimes.
Our defence is all over the place. Some weeks we look like a well drilled quality team that are all in sync. Other weeks we look like the players all just met each other for the 1st time that week. The attack looks terrible most of the time, from 1 out hit ups, to a complete lack of shape when we try to do something structured. A lot of tries look opportunistic rather than planned.
I find it hard to know what to make of this season to be honest.
