Well someone is going to be wrong in about 30 weeks because the club thinks it will finish top 4 and will win a final. So checker hughes and sheeds better keep their powder dry for a little bit.

I f***ing love this club”

i am not sure why one win is acceptable by some here.

screw that even blues can at least a final so what we want to be on par with them do we? 

we can beat hawks, swans and freo so IMO with a coach who has a plan b we can finish top 4.

Id be happy to make finals again my fellow tigernatics, I have not forgotten the past decades of utter bollocks heaped upon bollocks. Any coach who can navigate the politics of the RFC and still get us into finals is a winner. If Hardwick makes it 3 years of finals in a row and we get whomped again, so what. Its our systemic culture that has sucked for years. 3 years of turn around is great.

How short your memories are of 9th 9th and 9th again!

The problem is all the talk of how we can't sack a bloke when we've made finals two years in a row.

Knocked out in elims twice. Some people find that unacceptable.

If we accept a finals appearance as a pass mark we'll stay about that mark. Top 4 is the only good indication that you have a shot at the flag. That should be the benchmark.

Tough decisions need to be made sometimes. Like sacking a bloke who made two elimination losses in a row.

Agree. It's a cutthroat competition and you have to be looking to raise standards all the time. This includes not exaggerating and rewarding mediocre efforts just because they're were a bit less mediocre than previous efforts.

The big early indicators for me -apart from selections- will be the tackling, shepherding, two-way running, accountabilty and fitness...if those basic things still haven't improved after six years then they never will under this regime.

And how has Carlscum gone after sacking their so so coach in Ratten, where things slowly were improving. To mick the master coach. Backwards and downwards. It gutted the existing players and Mick has had to replace most of the list to go where?   Nowhere zone.

The same would happen to us. Hardwicks team would be bust and we wouldnt get back to finals until we replaced 20 players and got 50+ games into them. 3 years minimum.

What we need is a two coach plan, one to go through the pain of a major rebuild and then another to come in and lap up the cream.
