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.

No, not that one!

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Re: Predictions 20-21
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.

Re: Predictions 20-21
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.jgriffin wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 8:25 am 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.

Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!
Re: Predictions 20-21
I'll settle for 8th, don't really want us scraping into the Champions Cup if we don't really deserve to.

Re: Predictions 20-21
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
Re: Predictions 20-21
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.

Re: Predictions 20-21
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.
