Not a bad team basis, bit light up back which is a major part of our problem. I have thrown in two Burgers who show potential, and make up the numbers. Might even give our current side a run for their money:
Backs: Tuck, Sylvester, Bowden, Horne
HB: Raines, Polak, Joel
C: Richo, , Cotchin, Connors
HF: Coughlan, Cleaver, Thomson
F: Gilligan, Pattison, Browne,
Rucks: Simmo, Foley, Collins
Interchange: Schulz, JON, Pettifer ( :help), Horne, Gourdis, Putt, Carnell[/color], Horne
The point about all of this is that: " our performances currently, as bad as they have been for 2 weeks, need to be looked at in the context of who is available to come into the side." If you look at Saints and Pies for example, very few injuries over recent times.. So come on all tiges, the future is not so bleak

Ooops - too much Horne
To read the green just highlight it.
 
We have had one of the shortest injury lists in the comp for the whole year. The only decent young players of note in that whole team in Cotchin, Foley and Collins only recently got injured. Nice try but the future looks bleak.

Barnzy - tou might be right, and probably are, but this is religion. We've got to believe, otherwise what do we have to look forward to. Miracles do happen. :angel: :nopity :don't know

As a long time tigerman, I not only expect it, but I respect the passion> A bit like marriage - no passion, no love. Bring it on loved ones !

This is the same type of thread that goes around roughly three or four times a year. We are no good. We have no depth. There are two reasons. PLayer devleopment (or lack thereof) and culture.
Both issues can be turned around fiarly quickly.

I also think we have the righ tmanagement structures and board in place to do this. But it hasnt happened yet. There is some dead wood that needs/needed to be cleansed.

The decision on the new coach will be telling. I just hope there are some good candidates left by the time we are to make a decision.
