What the gist of thos one?

No idea I just go off the headline, too tight to pay the subscription.

 

[liltiger]

Must be Tartak (Crown), Daniel O’Loughlin (Esportif) and one other.

Moses or Ayoub

 

[Tom Shines]

The vision would be at the expense of the predatory clubs and make the competition unfair (for them),

can we be a predatory club?

 

[Betterdays22]

Have a feeling things are going to get worse and worse for a while. This season has had a stink about it outside the normal swings and roundabouts.

True with this forward pack there is zero reason to be last so lots of issues in the background

Wish we could march on Wests Ashfield and protest against the ceo and board of the Tigers and demand change to the shithole

what’s stopping you?

It’s a downward spiral until they get rid of the muppets.

To be honest I don't even know how much of an impact that will have. The clubs image is in total tatters. The media are absolutely relentless and I dont have any faith that the current group can actually win a game for the rest of the year to take some heat off. I can see no reason any player with more than 1 option would come here and its a matter of time before successful clubs convince our best juniors that the Tigers is not the best place to have a successful first grade career. I would love to know what players say to eachother about the club behind closed doors.

Onfield- All the hope of Luke Brooks becoming an organising halfback and link between the forwards and backs finally faded and Sheens hoisted on his own petard for this crucial decision?

Offfield- continued bad leadership by Pascoe and Hagi, along with a supine board.

 

[Odessa]

Don't want a West vs Balmain thing but does anyone know what year West took full control of the board 2014 ?

 

[incontrol]

Lee and Pascoe need to be removed. Too many poor decisions.
I wasn’t buying into any negatives about the CEO and Lee and thought it was more the board until after the thrashing by the cowboys and Lee states to the media that “we are on an aggressive recruitment campaign” he didn’t need to tell the media this! This shows no support to the current team and staff and is likely what’s happening internally that there is no supporting culture within the club. Let alone the mess that would be caused by the way Fulton was brought in. We are all standing on the outside looking in however it looks terrible, divided and an unsupportive culture from the outside!

Lee and Pascoe time to go!!!

 

[Halbrowne61]

And as usual no impact on field as that’s not the problem.

Not sure about that B, these sorts of things can get to player level.

I don’t believe Wests took full control as they handed 10%ish to Balmain to support them, wests have more control however the direction is divided and not united. This was why Marina Go was put in place for the united front which then Pascoe succeeded. Someone else would know more than me about this!

 

[TYGA]

why are you proposing Sheens as a “pathways” option?

Time might have passed the 72yr old Boomer for that role

Just get rid of him

Sheens is gone the question will be if Benji follows him.

I was just thinking the same thing, is it a war between the two clubs, I was a die in the wool Balmain boy but I have got over it once we won the title in 2005 , if this is the problem then maybe after all this time it’s time for them to part ways as it will never heal

 

[Tom Shines]

so don’t say he should go “back to pathways “

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Btw everything I said that I heard two weeks ago is happening… lol

Everyone outside of the club is worried with sheens benji vision and our players are going to want out.

Can’t believe mgmt have stuffed this up again.

What is the vision? Working hard to get in the 8?

One side own 90 percent … who cares what the 10 percent side thinks?

 

[Tiger-ferret]

I think the players just need to back their coaches against upper management and the Board will have to act. Think Sheens and Benji hold the advantage here.

But the vision isn’t right apparently

This is 100% not a Wests vs Balmain thing. Balmain only have a token board membership, so it isn't to do with that at all. It is purely a Lee and Pascoe thinking they know better against Sheens and Benji. Basically Lee and Pascoe put Sheens and Benji into the position, they then went the way that they wanted to go, Lee and Pascoe don't like it, hired Fulton to be their guy picking their players, and it created a bigger divide.

The board should be stepping in, but with Lee as chair (plus major sponsor) and holding the power (it seems) they are just sitting back and doing nothing, while the club is falling apart.
