The ambitions could be to finish 5th and win the GF from there with the cup already in the bag.

Is that even possible? I thought it was top4 or has the playoff format changed again?

fair point, anything less than a sustained challenge for top 3 (injuries permitting) is unacceptable to me. Pearson has spent the money on players, coaches and facilities, time to step up.

That's not the attitude. We have no divine right to expect anything from this expensively assembled squad.
Less entitlement more enjoyment, always remember those wise words

I hope I can have a realistic sense of entitlement for the squad assembled to perform to it's best and enjoy being entertained along the way.

I think the highest expectations will come from AP himself. Can’t see him being satisfied with anything less than competing on all fronts all through the season.

Somewhere between 6-8th for hulli t think, got some good forwards but poor back line and poor halfbacks will cost you imo, Radford hasn’t got a clue as well which doesn’t help you
