Realistic Expectations this year

afternoon all,

Was speaking to a few mates this morning over the start of the season (cant wait for it!) and they were discussing their expectations for their respective teams this year.

thought id post it to you all: What is your realistic expectations this year for the blue and gold's:

my expectations:

 - play as a team rather than rely on one player

- make the top 8 and be competitive

-  have a consistently full Parra stadium

what do you guys reckon??

  • Realistic:

    Be competitive for the full 80mins

    Finish higher than 11th

    See improvement in attack from our halves (now than Haynes gone)

    See our forwards hold their own or better.

    • I'd be happy with that

      Really can't see Semi Finals as realistic either - That JH hangover I have just keeps getting foggier

  • No 50 point losses.
    Top 8
    Respect.
    • Spot on Grunta. 

  • one word - DEFENCE

  • Top 8 is a successful year.

    Based on our squad, I really think we can shake up the comp this year.

    Plus I think a few of the other teams squads aren't as strong. We should be in contention but it all comes down to injuries and taking your chances.

  • Top 8

    Better for and against

    No blowouts

    Better defence

    Focused 80 mins

    Positive attitude
  • we earn respect from other teams

    we make the 8

    well show everybody  we can win without Hayne

  • Realistic expectations
    1. Dominate other packs
    2. Finish in the top eight
    3. Win the GF - this pack must do it now before any superstars come on board if they want to get the glory they deserve
  • Good point, because we are a one man show! Hahaha can't wait to get rid of that stigma

"I really like Samrani but if JR decides to give him up for MB I think that is a massive mistake. 
IMO Samrani should be 1st drop for either centre/ wing if one of our starters is out. Brian Kelly is bog average and not going to get better.
