It shouldn't be that hard - all we need to do is get Nadolo one on one in the 22 four times per match and we've at least got 22 TBPs. Easy.

If injuries, events outside and steady team picks allow, I suspect about 5-7 games will be needed to let the potential of this team be realised. Consequently, I'd suggest about 8th but - with the previously mentioned fair wind - 5/6th, with a couple of surprise scalps later on.

I'd settle for that jg. My aspirations are be outside the relegation battle next season and anything beyond that is a bonus. If our new look squad and coaching team can achieve beyond that I'll be extremely pleased maybe even deliriously ecstatic.
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

I'll settle for 8th, don't really want us scraping into the Champions Cup if we don't really deserve to.

Aim high, I say 6th, a 3 position improvement for me would be a big dissapointment for this squad and coaches.
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

if we qualify for it then we do deserve it. Sport is a pretty simple meritocracy in that regard.

I understand both poster's POV but I don't want us to scrape into the Champions Cup like Bath have in the last two seasons then get walloped in the pool stages.

I would take 6th getting in to the Champions cup, because I expect that if we're finishing there it's because of continuing improvement, ie we'd probably start at around an 8th place standard gradually improving over the season to a circa 4th place standard as I just don't see us starting straight in at a 6th place standard until the team has had a few moths to bed in, at which point I would suspect we'd be on course to play at a decent Champions cup standard the following season.
