Richo

Are we really so easily satisfied, Richo, or so demoralised?
"Fighting for a berth in the final round" as a benchmark!The Waratahs are based in a major, very wealthy city where the sport of the CBD is rugby, and where the great majority of Australian professional players are developed. Given these advantages over the other Super franchises we should never be out of the finals series. Getting the team to the finals should not be an aspiration; it should be a requirement.

I know you enjoy hunting for low-hanging fruit, so I'm happy to oblige on that front. I said that should be the absolute minimum. You're right, of course, about where we should be. But I'm sick to death of being off season champions and want to see the team build a strong foundation.
