I'm hoping for finals this year, a grand final in 2008 and flags in 2009 and 2010.

I can't wait to see our boys back in action!  :thumbsup
I would like to see us play consistently and have a crack in the finals, and a couple years down the track, see the boys get a flag... or 2 :gotigers
On victory we strive. Eat 'em alive!

We are still quite a young list but baring injuries and with a bit of luck should make the eight rather than just miss - and then all smooth sailing from 2008 and beyond for a few years me hopes.  :santa

I'm excited  :thumbsup.

If we can finally get a fairly good run with few injuries and especially no more broken bones or knees :P then it's realistic for us to make the finals. Geez we deserve a change of luck. We weren't far away from the lower half of the top 8 this year and we were ordinary/too young. I don't think we'll get pushed around as much by the big boys next year. Still probably two years away though from being a serious contender.

I'd bet on a top 4 finish if...

Brownie is back to his best,

Tambling fulfills his potential,

Polak can hold down CHB,

KK can Kick 40-50 goals,

and the biggest key is...

Knobel back to good form as a support for Simmo...

 :pray

I was at the official opening of the Tiges 2007 season on Sunday - a mate's bbq lol
And we did our best line-up for the opening round.
There were about three or four past regulars who didn't even get a mention, not only in the team but weren't even emergencies  :pray
Our depth is improving - we just need a bit of luck with injuries. :pray :pray
There are no excuses (apart from the sky falling in) IMO for at least not making the finals next season.
I can't see that many clubs that are that far ahead of us except for a couple
Be pretty disappoited if we didn't make it.
I've been patient enough and now it's time for them to make me happy lol
Or else  :rollin

I think you'll be proven right with Blingers 1965  :thumbsup. He was burning in the centre during the practice match yesterday.

and the biggest key is...

Knobel back to good form as a support for Simmo...

 :pray

Don't forget Patto. He's coming along nicely at training. Seems to becoming more agile as his body matures. Given Knobel is coming back from a ankle op, Patto would be no. 2 ruckman behind Simmo at the moment.

Patto in 2008, Knobel and Simmo in tandem worked well.

Seriously, I am looking forward to 2007 because there is a lot to look forward too

My personal view is we should play finals next year but I suppose when you've been disappointed so many times in the past .....

Let's just say I trying to not get too excited  :thumbsup
