Been impressed with Bodene this season. Has actually been pretty handy down the right hand fringe and if Potter didn't move him into the centres, I reckon his form would have persisted.
And with that, that's goodbye to both teams for Season 2014.
While they don't have a lot to show for it, I thought the Tigers really over-achieved this season. Before the year began, I had them down as wooden spoon contenders where they'd struggle to come by too many wins but they really stood up early in the year and produced some of the better performances of the season.
In the end, injuries, lack of experience and a lot of off-field issues really affected their season and sent them into a tail spin. Still, things look very promising moving forward and I suspect by 2016 they'll be real contenders.
As for Cronulla...poor Cronulla...outside of the odd big scalp here and there it was just a tough season to bear and really disappointing considering how they were poised in 2012-13. The ASADA investigation finally took it's toll with players abandoning the club while injuries weren't kind either.
Difficult to draw too many positives for them. I suppose there were some decent signs for the future but it's going to be a tough road ahead before they really make a splash again.
