Expectations for the forthcoming season in NLS

No need to re-evaluate. I, like a lot of fans still expect us to be champions, which is why we are so upset at the shit-show Owers is overseeing.

I'm demanding back to back promotions (as Champions) but it isn't going to happen and whilst the current regime is in place, probably not in my life time! That's if there's a club left to support either. Will the current regime care or lose sleep... of course not.

Thing is, this thread is about our expectations, that doesn't mean where we think our team will end up, it means where do you expect them to finish, on current evidence we'll end up in midtable, that's not what we should be expecting as fans, nor demanding.

Said mid table but might need to re-evaluate that downwards unless there is a massive ( and rapid) improvement in our fortunes. Given the way things are going, the current incumbents (at all levels within TUFC) are seemingly a clueless bunch of twonks!

I said mid table and still think this is where United will end up. Basically Torquay are now a Conference South club and won't be playing national football anytime soon. For this reason I have given up attending.

Exeter Chiefs v Bath?

No I was referring to Exeter Rugby Supporters in general - especially those making that stupid chant. Don't ask about the play offs - its a contrved load of old bollocks which they make up as they go along.

How on earth can it make any sense that a team who wins the league then don't actually win it. That just shows how plainly ridiculous the whole shebang is. Premiership rugby bears no comparison to the football premier league because in football all the top players don't bugger off for half the season.

I too will be at the Bath game.

I have it on good faith that we are going to piss this tin pot league of part time butchers, bakers and candlestick makers. 😆😆😆

You heard it here first! 👍

There are actually quite a few. The whole of November is taken up with internationals (England have 4 games this Autuumn). Then of course for 6 weeks in February / March there is the 6 Nations.

Now of course it stands to reason that the top teams will have more players on international duty than those further down the table - and there are always some completely unexpected results during these periods. So the 'theory' is that the top 4 play off with their full squads available to decide the champions.

Just one correction although and you did say tomo you don't really follow rugby. Exeter has never lost to Wasps in the play-offs. Exeter finished top last season with Saracens 2nd and Wasps 3rd. Exeter then lost to Saracens in the final. The year before when Exeter won it Exeter finished 2nd behind Wasps in 1st place, but having beaten Saracens in the semi-final play off Exeter beat Wasps at Twickenham in the final.

Hope that clarifies stuff. ;-)

....and....I think TUFC will win tomorrow and by 1745 next Saturday will be top of the league with 9 points!
Thanks for that, Stefano. Much appreciated. I've never heard it explained before and it does make some logical sense. I knew it was Saracens. It must have been that wasp after my strawberries & cream that confused me. As for TUFC being top of the league with 9 points by next Saturday, I can't find a 'flying pig' amongst the smilies. Too much sun, Stefano ..... not good for you. ;-)
