i believe the RFC wont be premiership contenders for at least another 2 maybe 3 years,.
The issue of most concern is no young key defensive or forward prospects of note and competency.
The loss of Richo and Gaspar within the next 3 years or less allows 2-3 years for the tigers to threaten but i seriously believe we will have the depth of talent unless the Jacksons, Thursfields, Raineses, Hartigans, Foleys and Pattisons ect get game time in 06 ahead of the duds. It is from within this level of talent that the tigers can improve as we already have quality with Lids, Bling and Meyer.
We must draft quality talls over the next 2 seasons that will bodies that will allow for senior footy sooner rather than later or our window of opportunity with Richo, Browny, Tucky, Gaspar, Johnson, Coughlan, Bowden, Bling, Lids, Meyer, and Simmonds together in same side wont be that long if you think about it, and Richo, Gas and Browny are only gonna slow down from here! ???
