What do you expect/require from 2012

[BankstownBulldog]

If we have a decent run with injuries and we can pickup a decent 5/8 then I'm expecting a top 4 finish.

I expect to get sledged delux if we dont make the 8. Imagine the **** we're going to cop if we dont even make the finals after this Hasler saga! We will be there come finals time, Jimmy would of got us there....

 

[will.i.am]

Return back to finals at the minimum.

Continual improvement within the squad we have for 2012.

Bringing back some aggression in our pack.

Finish 7th

I am expecting to be a premiership contender in 2013 after Hasler has a chance to build the squad he wants, and at least make the 8 next season. A strong showing in the finals next season will be a bonus.

I will be putting some coin on us to win the comp next season as well. I think we have had the squad to perform much better than what we have the last few seasons and with a coach who is a proven premiership winner over a 5 year period, the rubbish performances of the past few years will be no more. I'm not saying we deserve to be rated as a threat, but I think we might be the surprise packet. I am expecting big things from Sam Kasiano next season under Des.

a kick chase not a kick dawdle

 

[Book]

Our pack could be close to the best in the competition if Des is able to get them all performing.

I just really worry about that 5/8 spot, I hope we do somehow lure Foran here for 2012.

 

[Chris Harding]

I don't expect a premiership. I just want to win more than we lose. And no long losing streaks.

Oh, and to beat St.George on a video ref error.

 

[dogie]

I think we have a very strong chance now of being top four material, this would be my expectation.

In saying that, I will not be disappointed if we don't end up in the top four. I understand that these things takes time to develop.

It would be fairly embarrassing now if we did not make top 8. I would almost be willing to bet my life we will though.

 

[dogie]

YES!!! beat St George in a match, FINALLY!

this is worth the signing of Des alone.

 

[Tha DoggFather]

Im a realist, I think 2012 is the foundations of a great 2013

 

[shmozzle]

getting a new coach is rarely a quick fix. will take time to have an influence in my opinion.

I disagree. Steven Kearney only took a year to have a squad capable of putting out an all islander/kiwi 17.

exactly. an entire year. i think wayne bennet is the only coach who can ethnically cleanse a team in less time than that.

 

[goodwinmagic]

Were overdue a premiership.

if that's how it works i think you are behind about nine or ten other club in the line.

 

[Moust]

Finals footy in 2012, anything more than that is a plus! 2013, hopefully DES will have "his" squad and then expectations will raise accordingly.

Not at all. The majority of our fans have waited long enough for a premiership. With the arrival of Des Hasler, i think he can deliver us one. But, only time can tell. Fingers crossed though.

i think sharks fans probably feel the same way. could also go with eels, raiders, cowboys, storm... hahaha

 

[sgodllubsti]

i think it will be a season of working out who they want to keep and who moves on, season 2013 i think will be the season of real change and a big step up the finals ladder
